EXCLUSIVE: Trump tells Glenn Beck who's REALLY running the country - and it isn't Biden or Harris

Former President Donald Trump speaks with Glenn Beck in an exclusive interview on the news of the day: Are prominent Democrats like Joe Biden and Bill Clinton sabotaging Kamala Harris’ campaign? Who’s really running the White House? Will Trump recruit Elon Musk to help clear out the Deep State if he wins? Will the 2024 election be secure? Are Democrats the new “hidden Trump vote”? Was he targeted by a third attempted assassin? Is the Secret Service doing its job now? Did Trump ask Biden for anti-missile aircraft? Can Tim Walz look any more fake while loading a shotgun? Can Kamala Harris look any more fake without her teleprompter? Was Bill Clinton right about Laken Riley and illegal immigration? How close are we to nuclear war with Iran, China, or Russia? How would Trump stop Russia’s war in Ukraine and Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah’s attacks against Israel? Why did the Biden administration let the Taliban take our military equipment during the Afghanistan withdrawal? Trump also explains why he believes Kamala Harris is “against religion…in her bones,” gives insider information on the government-funded program to house illegal immigrants in luxury hotels, and accuses Biden of not doing enough to stop Iran from planning more assassination attempts.

GLENN: Mr. President.

DONALD: Yes. Hi, Glenn.

GLENN: How are you?

DONALD: I'm good. I'm good.

GLENN: I hear you just got off the phone with Elon Musk. How did that go?

DONALD: I did. Oh, he's great. This guy, he's in a world all by himself. He's a fantastic guy. When I saw -- when I saw that rocket ship come down yesterday, I said, you've got to be kidding. The way it landed right -- right where it left, right? He's fantastic.

GLENN: Yeah. We were talking -- I think he is one of the greatest. I mean, Steve Jobs maybe is in his category.

I don't think -- I think he's the greatest mind and -- and not theoretical, actually doing stuff in my lifetime.

DONALD: Absolutely. He gets it done. There's nobody like him. And he's a big supporter. Which makes me feel good. He knows what's going on. He thinks it's the most important election ever.

GLENN: So are you -- have you been serious about allowing him to go in, and look for cuts and everything?

DONALD: Oh, sure.

You know, he's also a great businessman. I'm trying to figure out a better businessman. Or essentially scientist.

And he's faithful. He feels that there's tremendous fraud and waste and abuse.

Tremendous fraud, waste, and abuse.

He feels it's there. And you could save a lot of money.

And make lives better. Okay?

You get more for the buck.

But he feels so -- he doesn't want to be -- he can't do that.

You know, he's got so many things going on.

He wouldn't want to do that. He would like to do something, having to do with the budget.

Because there's tremendous ways to do that.

STU: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: And he's good at finding that.

I mean, the way he runs his companies. I mean, it's tremendous.

DONALD: He's maybe the best at finding it.

Oh, people love it.

And make people's lives better. Actually.

You know, make them better. Not worse.

GLENN: I know. It really is -- is such a statement.

That he's probably the -- the most effective person on the planet, of looking over the horizon, and then bringing tomorrow into today.

And the -- and the left because he likes you, he is -- I mean, they just -- they will shut him down.

DONALD: Yep. They will. They will try.

But he's hard to shut down.

Because he's so advanced. He's in a different playing field.

He's so advanced. You shut him down, you shut the country down, essentially.

Look at Starlink. Starlink in North Carolina. They call it. Any way you can call. And some great people in North Carolina, are suffering.

And, you know, they have no communications, whatsoever.

GLENN: I know.

DONALD: And I called him. And I didn't know much about Starlink. Other than, it's supposed to be good.

I called him. And he edited them immediately.

You know, they delayed him. They delayed him. They put a hold on what he did.

GLENN: I know. We were on the ground.

My charity, Mercury One was on Mercury One. We were one of the first people on the ground.

We were running, at the height, I think we were running 50 helicopters, and we had it all -- you know -- I mean, we had everything.

We were there with Elon's guy, when they started jerking his chain. They even came and tried to shut us down. And our guy looked and said, you know, you don't have a single helicopter here. We're saving people in the mountains. If you were here, maybe a week ago, sure.

But we're not shutting down.

I mean, it's -- it was really tragic, what they did.

DONALD: It's one of the worst rescues ever. And I think in a league with Katrina, which was pretty bad. Some people say it's worse.

GLENN: I think it is.

DONALD: And they actually have people -- private people like you, you go in with helicopters, you want to save people. And they're not -- they didn't let them do it.

GLENN: I know. I know.

DONALD: It's a little different. You can do things.

But, no. It's a terrible thing, Glenn. Terrible, terrible thing.

GLENN: You know, I think that's one of the biggest things. When you say, you know, we will take our country back. One of the biggest things I miss is the ability to just do things, that you feel are right, that are legal.

But to just take control of your own life.

The -- the government has grown so far out of control. It's in every aspect of our life. And it is the problem.

DONALD: And it's the nasty government.

It's a mean government. They weaponize government.

They've done things. And, you know, it's interesting. Because the people aren't very smart.

The people on top, that if they -- they're not on top. It's the people that surround them. They are smart.

And they are vicious.

And they're fascists, and everything else you can be.

It's a nasty group of people.

STU: So somebody is quite smart.

Sometime, historians will look back and say, this was a genius.

It was the biggest heist in human history.

It was horrible. But it was genius.

Who is actually the president, Mr. President?

DONALD: Well, I think it's a committee of people. And they may not even know themselves. Does that make sense?

It's a group of people, that are in different levels of DC.

And they surround a man that was not the most capable person.

GLENN: Yeah.

DONALD: By the way, never was.

But certainly not anymore.

And she's worse than he is. She's worse than he is.

And the difference is, she was a believer.
You know, she was a believer for a long time. She was a Marxist for a long time.

She's further left than Bernie. You've heard that many times.

But she's further left than Pocahontas, okay?

Pocahontas is probably further left than Bernie. I think. I don't know. How you rate them, I would have to go by your scale.

I believe in your scale, maybe more than mine.

But if you think about it, you know, we have some people. And she is considered the most left, in the entire Senate.

And not the smartest. And not by any means, the smartest.

In fact, the opposite.

GLENN: But she is -- I mean, when you say she's worse.

We were talking yesterday, Mike Lee, about, you know, her centerpiece legislation, when she was in the Senate.

Which I think was called do no harm.

And it just dismantles religious freedom.
Just entirely dismantles it.

They are --

DONALD: You know. When we were in a group together. For the audience to know.

We spent a lot of time, yesterday, with the Latter-day Saints, and some incredible people. And people of religion too.

Just people of religion. And she's against religion, and it's in her bones.

She's against religion. And I don't know how people can vote for her. Like, we were talking about -- not so much you talking about -- because we have such a lead there. We were talking about Arizona. And, you know, if you take a look at Arizona.

And I would certainly say Nevada. And you have a lot of Latter-day Saints, Mormons there. And we got -- I think we're at 88 percent. I mean if we got 1 percent more, or 2 percent more, this whole country would turn around. Because if we won those two, we would be in awfully good shape to win the whole thing, as you know. So we spent time together. It was great. And when I mentioned your name, I will say -- I mentioned Glenn's name, everyone in the place went crazy. So they like you. They like you a lot. That was a big audience.

GLENN: Yeah. It was amazing. They're electric. I mean, I -- you at one point, leaned over to me and said, what's your gut say?

And, you know, the -- you know the figures. Better than I do. My gut says, you're accelerating at exactly the right time.

And as I said to you, but for cheating.

DONALD: That's the biggest risk.

GLENN: You've told me, that we've made a lot of good headroom -- headway on that.

DONALD: Well, I think just by nature, that we don't have COVID. They used COVID to cheat. And they did so many things, so many different things.

But just the fact that they didn't get legislative approval. I mean, you don't have to go any further than that.

They actually go for legislative approval. Not get it. Let's say, it's a Republican legislature. Not get it. And then do it anyway.

It was just terrible. They used COVID to cheat.

Now, that, number one, that in and of itself, makes it better now.

But they're a very devious group. And you know it better than anybody.

You talk about it openly. A lot of people, they're afraid to talk about it.

You're not afraid to talk about it.

GLENN: Well, once you've been threatened by George Soros. Once you've been threatened by George Soros. Everything else has kind of, meh.

DONALD: But I've seen his man, Gascon is down by 30 points in a poll.

GLENN: Amen, which is so crazy. It's so crazy. Kamala Harris is cut from that exact same cloth.

DONALD: Yeah. Oh, that's another -- that's a way of talking about it. You know, I had a tremendous rally the night before. The night before yesterday.

And it was unbelievable.

And we -- and you heard it. 140,000 people.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. Coachella.

DONALD: And I said, if we had an honest election.

If we had God coming down to be our vote counter.

Wouldn't it be great if we could ask God to do it? That would be the ultimate vote counter, right? Because you would have honest. But if we had God come down, I think I would do great. I think we would do great in California. I think we would win it.

I think we would win it. You know, they sent out like 38 million ballots, 36 million ballots, they go all over the place. And then they come pouring back.

And it's -- you know, when you go and vote, it's a really good solid state. Where you have -- and they look at you.

And they want your ID. Even if you're Trump.

Could I see your license?

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: You really can't get away with it. There's nothing to get away with.

They don't have computerized machines. They have paper ballots.

They have voter ID. And everything else.

Right?

STU: Have you talked to Elon Musk about this? Because I think -- you know this. We can transfer billions of dollars, and not a penny is lost.

We do it all day long. And it's fine.

How come we can't get the technology, to lock this into place?

Especially with block chain?

DONALD: So Elon is the number one for mechanical devices. Including computers. And he said, the only way to do it really safely is with paper ballots. That's something, huh? He said, I consider myself to be the world's greatest expert for all such things. This type of equipment, right? I would say, I would put him in the number one place. When you look at that rocket, the way it landed, I would certainly put him in the number one place.

And, you know, he's --

GLENN: Paper.

DONALD: He's concerned, because those -- you can make things swing. And you can make things do a lot of bad things. He said, but you can't do that with paper ballots. Believe it or not, they have paper now, that's actually very sophisticated.

GLENN: Yeah, yeah.

DONALD: Very highly.

When you hear paper. But it's very sophisticated stuff. But voter ID is very important. And now in California, as you know, better than I do, because you talk about it a lot. But the California things is amazing with Gavin Newsom, where you're not even allowed to ask somebody whether or not they have voter ID. If you do, I think it's a criminal act or something.

GLENN: That's crazy.

DONALD: It's shown our country has gotten totally crazy.

GLENN: You and I were talking the other day about the -- the hidden Trump vote.

And I want to ask you, your thoughts on something. I think there's actually a hidden Trump vote, that is going to come from Democrats. Because they didn't convince people of these policies.

They scared them into it.

They taught them.

Shut your mouth.

And just go along with it. And I think reasonable Democrats are going. This doesn't work.

I don't want my kids being talked to by, you know, a teacher in secret. That's -- that's the sign of a predator. I am paying more for my groceries. I can't do it anymore.

And I think there's a -- a slice of the Democrats, that might tell everybody, they're for Kamala.

But will go in and vote for you. What do you think of that?

DONALD: So I think the biggest thing. You know, you see the polls. And the polls have the economy and inflation. Number one, on inflation. I view them as the same thing in a sense. I think the inflation and economy, you can wrap them up into one.

I actually think, and I may be wrong. But not wrong by much, but I think the biggest thing that people are going to be looking at and voting on is what's happening on our border, where murderers are allowed to come in. Where drug dealers are allowed to come in, and just destroy our country. Literally destroy it.

And inflation is a destroyer of our country too. It's a different kind of a destroyer.

It's not as mean as having guys coming in with machine guns. Yes. Go ahead.

GLENN: Go ahead. Well, I was going to say. I don't know if you've heard this yet. I want to play some audio. This is Bill Clinton, today, talking about Laken Riley. Listen to this.

BILL: You had a case in Georgia, not very long ago. You think about -- about a young woman who had killed by an immigrant.

Yeah. Well, if they had all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened. But if they all are properly vetted, that doesn't happen. And America is not having enough babies to keep our population up. So we need immigrants, that have been vetted to do work. There wouldn't be a problem.

GLENN: I mean, he sounds like he's campaigning for you.

DONALD: Yeah. Yeah. That's come a long way. You see, that's probably where they're going. Because they were for open borders. No talk. Anybody comes in. Just walk right into our country. Which is insane.

And now, all of a sudden, you hear people talking about, well, we need people to come in. Come in.

But the damage has been done.

We have 21 million people came in. Hundreds and thousands of those people are from prisons and gangs and drug lords and human traffickers and murderers. And they're here.

So we have a problem before -- he's a little late at saying it.

GLENN: I know.

DONALD: Because we have a big problem. We have people in our country that are going to be murdering a lot of people. Laken Riley is a beautiful young lady. I know the parents. I know everything about her. What happened to her is just horrible.

But you have many -- many, many cases, like that. Some you don't hear about that. Aurora is really bad. When you look at what these Venezuelan street gangs have done. They're formed.

And they have taken over buildings. Beautiful buildings.

GLENN: I know.

DONALD: In a very good place. And they're basically in the real estate business. You know, they've taken them over with machine guns, instead of --

GLENN: Right.

J.D. Vance was talking to Martha Raddatz. By the way, brilliant pick.

And she -- he says, Martha, are you listening to yourself? You think this little problem is -- is little?

There are Venezuelan gangs, that are running apartment buildings in America.

It's amazing what these people will try to excuse!

DONALD: Not believable.

JD has been great, by the way.

He's been great.

GLENN: Oh, I love him.

DONALD: And as good as he is, Walz, on the other side, I mean, is this man even a little intelligent? I mean, it's just -- it's just incredible. Those two.

GLENN: I know your son is a hunter. You have to ask him. Play that video of him trying to load the shotgun. I swear to you, I am fairly decent with guns. I would not hunt with that guy. He looks like he's dangerous with a gun. He's never done that. It's crazy.

DONALD: I think he was a horrible pick.

Now, we'll see how it works out on November 5th.

Because one way or the other, if they won, I guess he wasn't a horrible pick. But when I heard they picked him, I couldn't believe it.

And he's only gotten worse. And she's gotten worse too. You know, she's worse than Biden. I really believe that. She's worse than Biden.

And they're fighting like cats and dogs.

GLENN: So you think that's true?

DONALD: Oh, yeah. Well, no. He's angry. Because he got 14 million votes.

He was thrown out. This was an overthrow of a president.

This was an overthrow of an American president.

There's never been anything like that before.

He won the primaries. They came to see him. And they were like, we want you out.

I'm amazed he agreed to it, by the way. The truth is, he looks better than he ever did.

He looks better than he -- for five years. I don't know. Somehow, he didn't play well as president.

But he does play well, the way he's playing against, like with Ron. Ron DeSantis in Florida.

Done a good job. Very good on the hurricane. You know it's a tough job, but he's done a very good job. But the way he went at him, and just got creamed. And Biden who was on-site.

GLENN: I know. That's crazy.

And, you know, with that Bill Clinton clip. I'm just wondering. Are they just like, cutting her loose?

DONALD: No. I think they're trying to steer a different path, now.

I think they're seeing it's not working.

And we have a good run for three weeks.

I think they're seeing it's not working.

She's changed 15 million policies.

You're the all-time pro.

I would say, if you've seen any candidate for high office change two. It would be a lot.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

Remember, John Kerry, I think changed one or two things.

And he became the waffle man.

DONALD: That's right. No, he did.

And it didn't work. But she's changed 15.

From fracking. To crime. To this. To that.

To borders.

She all of a sudden wants to have a strong border.

And she acts like nothing happened.

Where was she for four years?

I've never seen anything like it. If you go back two years, just go back -- or just go back into their primaries. And listen to what she said and what she voted for.

And now every one of those things have been thrown out.

So I don't know. You know, let's see what happens. I can't imagine, you can get away with it.

But there's another thing that's called competence. And, you know, they tried the threat of democracy with me.

They tried it all. They tried everything.

But let's look at now, their competence. The woman is not a competent person.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

DONALD: And I think far less competent than Biden.

And I never thought I would be saying it. But there's something going on. I mean, I watched her with a teleprompter.

Her teleprompter broke. And she kept going.

GLENN: That was amazing.

DONALD: No. I said, what's going on with her?

GLENN: You've been in television. I've been in television. We know teleprompters. She had no idea what the next sentence was. She was saying 32, as if, hey, prompter person, I'm at the bottom of the page. It was crazy.

DONALD: Yeah.

If that -- and, you know what, she could even say, my teleprompter went off.

GLENN: Yes.

DONALD: And sometimes I do that. And then you go on to make your speech. You can't walk off the stage, right?

But a teleprompter is one of the most unreliable pieces of equipment. I can tell you. Sometimes -- like the crowd we had. That was a big crowd.

The night before, I had 101,000 people. You can lose that stuff. I figure teleprompters go out, 5 percent of the time.

And two or 3 percent of the time, where they're just gone.

GLENN: Jeez.

DONALD: I mean, I've had her blow up the stage. You know, it's windy, they're not very good, because they move like a (inaudible). They're very hard to hold back. They move. If a teleprompter is moving.

And I don't use the teleprompter that much anyway. If a teleprompter is moving.

It's a problem. If you are going to be in politics, you have to be able to, if and when. Because it's when.

But if and when the teleprompter goes, you know this.

You've got to be able to speak. And she was frozen.

And she's lucky that they came back. Because, you know, they snapped back. It's called a snap back. It snapped back for her. And then she started continuing reading.

GLENN: I wish it wouldn't -- I would have loved to see how she would have ended that.

DONALD: Well, I think it would have been a bad thing. She could have done the 321 more time, I'll tell you. She had exhausted the number 32, I can tell you, right?

GLENN: So what -- what frightens -- at least me, is she's not in control.

Biden is not in control. And they're talking about changing our nuclear strategy with Russia.

And I don't know who is making those decisions, and I have to tell you, Mr. President, I mean -- have you read Nuclear War by Annie Jacobson?

DONALD: Yes, I have. Yes.

GLENN: Okay. That's terrifying. I don't know how you would make the decision as president of the United States, that quickly.

DONALD: It's -- it's the biggest single threat -- when these people talk about global warming. And they worry about the ocean will rise in 300 years. By an eighth of an inch.

It's like, it just infuriates.

Now, at the same time, I don't even like talking about nuclear. That's how bad it is.

You know, during my administration, you probably never heard the word nuclear. I purposefully. And now you're hearing it every single day. You're hearing it all the time.

You know who issues it a lot, is Putin now. He's issuing that word a lot. And that will be -- there will never have been anything like that.

The level of power. I'm the one that rebuilt it.

I rebuilt all of our military.

I rebuilt it, at the highest level. In many ways, I hated to have to do the nuclear. But I did. Because we have no choice.

We have other countries. We have five other countries now. As they say, nuclear capable.

And that's too many. That's actually five too many.

The truth is, I think I would have had a deal with Russia. And with China. To denuclearize their stock. I really think we would have had that.

All three of us agreed on it. Conceptually, and I think we would have done that. But COVID came along, and we have to fight that battle.

And we fought it well. Never got credit for it, really. But we fought it well. I got credit for the economy. I got credit for the military. We have knocked out ISIS. Got the biggest tax cuts and regulation cuts and all that. But I never got cut. You know, nobody knew what this was. COVID came in. Was a gift from China.

GLENN: I got to tell you, the way they -- the way they say that you didn't do enough, when they were the ones bitching when you said, I've got to los to China. We can't have this happening. And they called you a bigot and everything. And now they're saying, you didn't close it fast enough.

DONALD: Yeah.

GLENN: Do they really believe the American people are goldfish?

DONALD: Well, the same people. Nancy Pelosi -- crazy Nancy, she was going crazy when I said, if I didn't close it from China then. And you know what, there were 11 people in the room.

And I was the only one that said, I want it closed. And you had to close it. We would have lost probably a couple of million people, more. And we really -- I mean, we would have lost millions of people more, had I not done that.

That was a great move. But nobody knew what this thing was. And everybody got hurt.

You know, proportionally, there were a lot of equals. They all got hurt. China got hurt late in the process.

It looked like China has really skirted the issue. It has really hurt China. It's hurting it right now.

They went to it, very, very -- now, they were different.

They locked them in, and they welded the doors closed.

And they forgot before it happened. You know, people died of starvation. Can you believe it? They welded --

STU: It's China.

GLENN: And then they -- either forgot or something happened, but they didn't unweld them.

It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. But that was a terrible thing.

GLENN: I have been bitching and complaining about the Secret Service for, hmm. Well, since Obama.

We have -- we have not been protecting our presidents. Rightly -- I mean, my people have gotten around the Secret Service.

However, I will tell you this, this weekend, I have never seen anything like the security that you have around you now.

It is top shelf.

And they said that you asked the president for rocket launchers or something, to protect your plane.

In case somebody shoots a rocket at the plane. Is that true?

DONALD: Uh-huh. Well, I better not get into it.

But they have stronger security around the plane. Very strong security.

STU: I know. I saw it.

GLENN: I mean, they have to -- the one thing we don't have is we don't have a president saying, if some country, Iran, where there's actually a threat.

That if they do anything to -- it's not me. It's the president. You know, former president.

And now leading in both parties, to be president.

If they do anything. We're going to obliterate the country. Because when you say that, that's the end of, they won't do anything.

But we haven't heard that.

But other presidents have issued, you know, like proclamations, as you've probably heard. There were two or three issued, that way, where even rivals.

Rivals were being threatened.

GLENN: Yeah.

DONALD: And certain presidents were able to get up, that if you do this, we will hit you so hard, that you won't have a country left. And when you do that, they say, well, let's take a pass. That's the way that works. But Biden is not -- is not -- I guess not willing to do that.

And that's pretty sad.

I would do it if I were him. I will tell you, if it was reversed, and I was where he was, and it was, you know, him. I would issue such a proclamation.

GLENN: You have to. You have to.

DONALD: You don't have a country.

GLENN: Yeah. You don't. You don't.

The Coachella guy who was -- he says he was a big fan. But they found guns in his car.

I don't know if this reached you. The campaign says, it really wasn't anything.

Local sheriff said, they felt that they had stopped a third assassination attempt. And he -- anything on that?

DONALD: No. I don't know. He said he was a big fan. And I know that. But he had some pretty nasty weapons in his car.

But he was away from the car.

The car was parked a long ways away.

Everybody. The place was.

101 -- I guess more than that.

But over 101,000 people there.

So it was a big crowd. He was very far away. But, you know, when you have that kind of weapons in the car, it's a little. It's not your -- these were not your standard weapon. Let's put it that way. They were not the greatest.

So we're living in a dangerous world. This is a world that is very dangerous. This is a world that is closer to World War III, than we've ever been.

There's never been anything like it.

And the problem like we said, the weaponry is at a level.

I always say, it's not two army tanks running around a field, shooting each other.

This is weaponry, that I know better than everybody every.

Because I see it. I rebuilt it.

And this is weapons. And weaponry, that it's not even imaginable.

And we really need smart people.

In government now.

We just can't go another four years, like we did with Biden. You know, I had Iran wanting to make a deal. They were going to make a deal. I would have a deal done within one weekend of the election.

They were -- they didn't have money.
They were -- there was no Hezbollah.

There was no Hamas. Because there was no fighting.

They couldn't give money.

They were there, but they couldn't give any money.

We had the best situation. He could have made a deal in one week.

And the big part of that deal was no nuclear weapons. Right? That was 90 percent of the deal. You know, I want them to do great. I wanted Iran to do great.

But no, the great people. You know, Iran, they're great people.

I know so many Iranians that are now living in America, and they're like really great people. Smart as can be. And wonderful and warm.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

DONALD: So we don't want to have a problem.

But they were broke. They had no money. I said, nope.

Can't do that. And you know why they had no money? Because of my policy. And they would have made a deal. They would have made a deal. I would have made that deal a week before the election.

And I want them to be really successful.

But one thing, they can't have nuclear weapons. And they're now like a month away from having a nuclear weapon.

That's a big problem. Now, we'll see what's going on with Israel. Who I think their stock has gone up very high, in the last month or so. Their stock has gotten very high as spiders. But it's very, very sad to see what's happened.

That -- that they would allow this to happen. Look, if I were president, Ukraine would not have been attacked by Russia. 100 percent.

GLENN: I know. Boris Johnson just said that. Did you see the Boris Johnson interview?

DONALD: I did. I did.

I saw that. He said, if Trump were there, it would have never happened. And it wouldn't have.

And I got along well with Putin, but it just would have never happened. What a shame. What a different -- you know what else wouldn't have happened?

Inflation. The most embarrassing day in the history of our country, wouldn't have happened, in Afghanistan. Wouldn't have happened.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Yeah. You know, you were talking about that the other day. And I have to correct one thing that you said. In Afghanistan, again, my charity was over.

We had the -- we ran the airport, over -- over there.

And we had all of the commercial airplanes, ready to go.

And the State Department kept screwing us.

And, I mean, in the end, we got 21,000 people out. And none of them came to America.

Because we didn't even trust our vetting. But we knew who we were bringing out. The State Department screwed us around, screwed us around.

They actually mocked us, at one point. And said, well, you need one more form. And they came up with a new form.

We said, we don't even know. We haven't heard of that form.

Where do we get it?

At the embassy in Kabul. And we're like, you closed the embassy. They actually laughed and said, I guess you will just have to figure that out.
And hung up on us.

So we finally made a deal with them.

You said, yesterday, they got all of the soldiers out.

No, sir. To get the -- the survivors, that we tried to get out. The 22,000. Our first plane had to be full of American soldiers, that they left behind.

DONALD: Hmm.

GLENN: That is -- that is crazy.

DONALD: What I mentioned was they took the soldiers out early.

The American soldiers.

They left. And we were left without soldiers.

And they should have taken the soldiers out last.

When I spoke to Abdul.

I said, no. You will not do anything more.

They were killing a lot of our soldier.

I know the people. And I had a very tough conversation with them.

From that point on, 18 months, and we didn't have one -- you know that.

GLENN: No, no, no. You can't. You can't.

You have to tell the story about the picture.

You cannot just gloss over this. This is one of the greatest negotiating things I've ever heard.

Tell the whole story.

DONALD: I had a conversation. And it was important to have it.

Because the Taliban. That's where the killing is.

Like I always say, Jesse James. He liked that. And they say, Jesse, Jesse.

Why do you always go after a bank? He said, because that's where the money is. Right? And in this case, the Taliban. Because that's who was doing all the killing in Afghanistan.

You know, that was the kill arm, right?

So I spoke to the head, he's still there.

Abdul. We had a good conversation. Tough conversation. Because they were killing a lot of American soldiers.

And they were with Obama and Biden. But they were really killing a lot of them.

And I got there. They were killing them.

And a lot of snipers.

And I had a conversation, a couple of conversations. But I had a conversation, and I don't want to go graphical into the conversation.

It was a tough conversation.

But you can't really repeat it. It's not appropriate.

And I had a conversation. And I essentially told them, don't do it. Don't do it.

I did have --

GLENN: Can I tell --

DONALD: Yeah. You can tell them. But I did send them something that was interesting. Go ahead.

GLENN: Yeah. So you had a picture of his house. And you said, if any of our soldiers die, I will kill you.

And you put the picture down and slid it across the table. And then you walked out.

I think that's brilliant. Just brilliant.

DONALD: Well, it was a phone conversation. But the phone conversation.

GLENN: Oh, okay.

DONALD: It was sent to him. And he said, but why do you send me a picture of my house?

During the phone conversation.

And I said, that, you'll have to figure out.

GLENN: That's great.

DONALD: We had -- regardless, we had no problem at all.

So we went 18 months, not one American soldier was killed or even shot at. And after 18 months, they did this horrible move.

GLENN: Yeah.

DONALD: And it was so bad. And, you know, we also gave up Bagram. So Bagram is one of the biggest bases in the world. And China is now occupying it. Can you imagine?

The reason I wanted it -- I would never have left that. I was planning on making upgrades.

What happened with Bagram, is it's one hour from where China makes its nuclear weapons. What an asset.

And now China is occupying it. Can you believe it? They give it up. They left it in the dark of night. They left the lights on.

And they left this massive thing, that cost us billions and billions and billions of dollars. The longest runways in the world, very powerful runways. Thick. Like 8 feet thick of concrete. You can land anything on it.

We left -- we just walked away from it.

GLENN: Jeez.

DONALD: And what a great thing. I would have never done that. We were having it staffed up and everything.

We would have left with strength and dignity. It wouldn't have been people falling off of airplanes. Very sad. Very, very sad.

GLENN: They're the --

DONALD: I think it was the most embarrassing day in the history of our country.

GLENN: It was, at least in my lifetime.

It -- we left the -- a lot of our arms and everything else there.

Is it true, they're now one of the largest arms dealers in the world. Selling the arms we left behind?

DONALD: So -- so we left billions and billions and billions of dollars of brand new beautiful equipment. Tanks. Trucks.

Thousands of trucks. Many of them armor-plated. They're million dollar trucks.

GLENN: Why wouldn't we at least blow them up, before we left?

DONALD: Because Milley was stupid. Milley said the same thing to me. I said, I think it's stupid to leave it behind.

I said, when -- if you have an airplane and it's new, and it cost $150 million to build it. You aren't going to put a tank of jet fuel in there and fly it out, to Pakistan, or directly home?

Sir, I think it's cheaper to leave it.

He was such a stupid guy. He was so stupid. He had no common sense. You know expression I say? The Republican Party is the party of common sense. Milley was a stupid guy.

And I can just see him telling that to Biden.

We left all that equipment.

Now if you look three weeks ago. They had a parade. They have a parade every year.

Running the equipment right down the middle of their Boulevard.

All beautiful American trucks.

And all. Mostly armor plated stuff.

Very, very expensive to build.

Very expensive equipment.

Riding it down like in a parade.

Talking about the dumb Americans.

No. What he's done to the country is such a shame. Between the borders and Afghanistan.

And allowing the war. If -- Putin would never have done that war.

Now you look at Ukraine. It's like a tell me litigation site.

The cities are knocked to the ground

Those beautiful golden towers are crushed, and laying on their side.

They were beautiful.

You can never rebuild it. You know, a whole civilization has been lost. Because don't forget, those cities have been obliterated.

GLENN: Oh.

DONALD: So many of them. And it's one thing, peace. What does it mean?

So many people have left. So many people have died.

Many more people have died, in Ukraine. Than they talk about.

You know, they'll have missiles hitting buildings. And they'll say two people were hurt.

You know, the building will collapse. And those are big buildings. Those are buildings, like two, three city blocks. Normal city blocks.

They were big buildings. I was amazed at the size of the apartment. That's what I did for a living, right?

And these were big apartment houses. Fairly tall. And really long.

And they had a lot of people. They were hitting them with missiles. The buildings would collapse. Just collapse down to the ground. And two people were hurt. No, no. Many, many people were killed.

When the death toll is really said in Ukraine, the numbers will be much higher than people think.

GLENN: You just said something that made me think -- and I know you have to go. So we'll keep this short.

You just said, what I do. I build buildings.

And it made me think of the hotels in New York.

That are now trashing their hotels. With illegals.

What's the game here?

What is the --

DONALD: Well, the owners of the hotel are his now operating a different product.

So they used to operate luxury hotels. And now they operate them to get government money. And they're making more money -- they have 100 percent occupancy at room rates, than they ever got.

And illegal migrants, living in the buildings. And you don't want to walk into there, Glenn, because you will probably not have a good chance of getting out. It's rough stuff going on.

I have friends that own these things. And they used to be luxury. And now what they are. They are hotels.

You know, a lot of people won't go back into those hotels too. You know, in terms of --
you're a luxury guest. If that ever comes back.

But these people are making a fortune. All they're doing is sending government bills.

Here's the saddest part. Outside those hotels, the migrants walk into these buildings that were luxury, but are being beat up and destroyed.

You know, there are fights in there all the time.

Rough, rough. These are tough people. These are not -- these are rough, rough people.

They make our criminals look like babies.
But, look, we have our veterans living on the sidewalk, right outside the main entrance. And you have migrants going into the hotels. How about that?

And so the military should never vote for her. And, frankly, I don't think anybody should.

People in religions shouldn't. The Latter-day Saints should not.

That's why we were there.

We want to get that vote.

Will you please get that vote?

GLENN: Okay.

DONALD: I will tell you, you cannot let them vote. Who could vote?

Any religion. I don't know what it is with the Catholics.

But they are really after the Catholics. How can the Catholics vote for them? It's a very sad time.

But we will have more conversations. You have been a great guy.

And you've really been terrific.

GLENN: I mean this, Mr. President. I do this for my children. I will door knock for you.

You just tell me, how I can help. I will be there. Thank you for everything.

DONALD: You keep your voice going. That's the most important thing. You have a very powerful voice. And good voice.

And it's for good. And I appreciate it very much. Thank you very much.

GLENN: You bet. Thank you. You bet, buh-bye.

Canada’s Euthanasia CRISIS: Assisted Suicide and Organ Harvesting

Canada’s MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) program has crossed a moral threshold, and Glenn Beck is sounding the alarm. What began as a so-called “compassionate” option for the terminally ill has expanded into a dystopian system where citizens are being encouraged to end their lives over depression, poverty, or homelessness. As healthcare collapses, the government’s answer is to reduce the “surplus population” while even harvesting organs in the process. Glenn exposes how the normalization of euthanasia devalues human life, opens a dark ethical path, and serves as a chilling warning for America.

GLENN: It's -- getting really bad up in Canada. I was with some Canadians yesterday. I saw them. I was up in the Capitol after meeting with senator Lee. And I come out, and these people say, "That's Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck."

And I turn around. And they're like, "Oh, my gosh." And they come up to me, and they're Canadians. I'm like, "Can you guys still cross the border from Canada? I didn't even know that was legal, still."

STU: They love this humor, by the way.

GLENN: They loved this humor. But they were great. They were big fans, and, you know, I asked them about how things are going in Canada. And they said, "Really not good."

I said, "I'm really concerned about your MAID program."

And they were like, "Yeah. You think so?"

Canada is in a euthanasia crisis. The cheapening of life. This started out about ten years ago, in Canada.

You know, if you have a chronic illness and you are close to death. You're going to die, anyway, and I don't mean like from old age. I mean, you are close to death. And you are in massive death. You can end life.

Now, if you remember right, Stu and I talked about this in the days of Fox. One of the problems we had was the complete live system with -- with Obamacare.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: When you have -- when you have a government health care system, all it takes is a shortage of any kind. And then you start devaluing life on both ends of the spectrum. Up until 12 -- I think he's up to 12 years old, you get very little Medicare -- or medicine and care.

And over 50, they begin to cut your care. They keep the ones who are actually working hard. And making all the money. They keep all the care there.

Because that's what's with good for society. Okay?

This is exactly what is happening for Canada. And they're not saying it.

They can't keep up with the system of care that they have there. People are dying all the time. And so what they're trying to do is just reduce the surplus population. And so now you can go in and get euthanasia for -- I mean, pain. You can't conduct yourself with meaningful activities anymore.

You can't perform your daily activities.

You have depression. Autism. I mean, all kinds of stuff.

STU: Really, any reason.

GLENN: Any reason.

STU: It's at least expanding to that eventually.

GLENN: It just expanded. There were two people that were just cleared for euthanasia. Because they got kicked out of their home. Because their home was being given to illegals.

So these Canadian citizens. They get kicked out of the home. They can't find a place to live.

And they're getting depressed about it. They go to the doctor. And the doctor is like, we don't have any beds for you.

It will be months before we can see you.

You can't give me any kind of help on this?

No.

STU: My gosh, they should have illegally crossed into this country.

I would be happy to help them.

GLENN: Well, no. They're Canadians. If they're Canadian, they're probably white. And we can't help them.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: I know me too.

So they -- they convinced two of these people, just kill themselves.

STU: How --

GLENN: Because --

STU: So awful.

GLENN: Awful. Awful.

STU: But this is -- this is a -- can a long-standing. You know, you want to make a slippery slope argument.

This is a really easy place to be.

GLENN: And it's happening over and over again.

STU: It's the same place that happens every time.

GLENN: Yeah. Every time.

STU: You look at that, what is the movie, Million Dollar Baby, I believe it was. If I'm remembering right. It was Clint Eastwood. And so that was a really fascinating movie to watch, as someone -- in our position. If you're a conservative.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Because she -- spoiler alerts, throughout, she was a female boxer.

This is a wrong time. A apologize if I get it wrong. She has a terrible why are in the ring. And is put on basically life support.

And kind of wants to die.

And he unplugs her at the end. If I remember right, basically.

And she dies. And it's the best possible case in a way, for euthanasia. You feel terrible for her. She had all this to live for. This awful thing happened to her. She was incredibly unhappy.

And, you know, you felt like, he was doing the right thing.

The movie presented it in a way that it felt like, this is a tough choice. But he did the right thing.

GLENN: I'm trying to remember the Rachel McAdams' movie about kind of the very same thing.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: It was very disturbing.

Life without you, or something. And she falls in love with this guy.

And, you know, she thinks he has a great life. But he's in a wheelchair. And they have a great time. But she doesn't know that she's just care-taking because his parents are trying to get him to find purpose in life again. He was in an accident. Find purpose in life again. But he just wants to kill himself. So they fall in love and everything else.

It in the end, he says, I want to kill myself. And he see. And you're made to feel like, that's an okay --

STU: Yeah. Hey. And I think those are valuable vehicles. They challenge you a little bit. You're like, okay. This is a tough situation. A tough call or whatever.

And I don't remember at the end of the movie, yeah. I'm pretty sure.

GLENN: Me too. Me too.

STU: You don't want to unplug people, when there's no reason to.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: And that is always where it starts. You feel like, there's a tough call to be made here. This person is in pain, they're suffering.

But if you don't prioritize above all else in these situations, above quality of life.

Above whether -- whether they feel that they have nothing to live for.

If you don't prioritize life. At least from a legal standpoint. You know, you -- you put your society, on slippery slope that ends this way, every single time. And, you know, we all kind of understand the truth of the situation, which is, it's very difficult to prevent over someone's life. If they want to take their own life. They will probably be able to do it.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

STU: But coming to a societal acceptance of something like this.

Put you on a road to darkness.

GLENN: Well, they -- they say that we're doing this scientifically we have three doctors that have to sign up on this. Well, that's exactly the number that the Nazis have to.

STU: And they trim that number.

GLENN: They did. They did. And I think they had one or two. They trimmed that number.

It may be back up to three. Here's the good thing. You get more doctors involved. Because now they are prepping the people for euthanasia with -- I think it's Heparin. Which you put a line in of Heparin. And that preserves your organs. And so as soon as the doctors off you. Other doctors take you. And take out your organs. And now Canada is becoming one of the biggest organ warehouses since Hammond.

Did Ketanji Brown Jackson say black voters are DISABLED?!

MegynKelly‬ joins Glenn Beck to discuss Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s “unbelievable” comparison of black people’s ability to vote with disabled Americans, Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry’s alleged romance, and Megyn’s upcoming stadium tour stop with Glenn.

Transcript

GLENN: Hello, Megyn, how are you?

MEGYN: Hello, friend. I'm great. How are you doing?

GLENN: I'm good. I'm good. I'm glad to be with you. What is it? Next Saturday, we're going to be together here in Texas.

MEGYN: Fort Worth, baby! Let's do this thing.

GLENN: Could you get a bigger arena, have you been to the Dickie's arena?

MEGYN: No. I can't wait to see it.

GLENN: Yeah, well, there's a lot of it. There's a lot of it.

But we're going to be together, and tickets are still available. Grab your tickets now. I would like to know a couple of things. First of all, I'm going to making a pretty big announcement, breaking some news with you. Because you're a journalist, and everybody goes to you for these things. But I'm going to be breaking some big news.

And then -- what -- I'm only asking this, because I just got off, you know, one of the shows from Charlie Kirk. And the audience kind of threw me for a loop. I didn't even -- I've never even pondered before, Megyn.

MEGYN: Well, I think we're going to be doing some Q&A with the audience too. And I'm looking forward to that. I've been hearing a lot of folks commenting on our social media feed, that they would love to interact. And I thought, maybe we'll kick it off with Q&A, have people have their say, and then we can do our interview and all that. But my goal overall is to just make it a good time. I think people, if you're going to go out on a Saturday night, you want to have fun. You want to keep it upbeat. There's so much to make fun of.

GLENN: Well, I'm good at that. I'm with you on that. I can be with you all day long on that.

MEGYN: This administration, which has a very healthy sense of humor. And the bizarre attacks. Did you see the Bradley Whitford thing on The View just yesterday saying, there are internment camps going on right now in the United States. Are there?

Really?

GLENN: What!

MEGYN: He played a political hack on the West Wing.

And now, ever since, he's kind of like Yul Brynner in the King & I.

Remember when he had really started asking the king, he thought what he really was. That's what happened with Bradley Whitford. Martin Sheen too, who played the president in that same series. Now they've both gone so hard-core left. And saying all the worst rumors you hear from your great, great granddad on, you know, Facebook are true.

The internment camps across the United States, where?

Where specifically, Bradley? Walk me through it.

GLENN: Can you help me out on Ketanji Brown Jackson yesterday? I think she said that blacks are mentally handicapped or maybe physically handicapped. But she compared the Voting Rights Act with the ADA. What kind of -- how low can they go in insulting black Americans before black Americans are like, okay, come on!

MEGYN: No, it was unbelievable. If one of the white justices had said that, it would be on the cover of every magazine, the top of every newspaper. The fact that I guess she's black and a woman, they give her a pass.

She actually tried to say that we need ongoing scrutiny of all voting schemes in America, because blacks are like people with disabilities, with basically no rights. Because she was saying, when we passed the American with Disabilities Act, we had no requirements that building the handicap accessible. And that's basically the position of blacks in America in 2025. There must be a national mandate requiring them.

GLENN: How do you build a building so it's black accessible?

Because I think they already are. What -- what kind of special ramps are needed to be built here? I don't understand.

MEGYN: Yeah. Do our black friends know that they can't just walk right into the buildings. I'm not sure I'm aware of that. Or is it just Ketanji?

How did she walk into the US Supreme Court to make the point that blacks are not equal, and being permanently disabled, as she puts on her robe, to take one of nine seats.

GLENN: It's just crazy. Just crazy on that.

And then, you know, we have the shutdown which is completely bizarre, the way the Democrats are trying to do this. And I think they're holding it closed now, because of the no kings rally. They want the big no kings thing.

Is that violent, or how is that going to turn out this weekend?

MEGYN: Did you see the Trump tweet saying, I'm so relieved. Thank you so much to the no kings crowd. I thought somebody was trying to become king. But thanks to you, I remain the president.

I appreciate it. He's a master troller. You know, they did this in June, with all of the same numbers. And nothing happened. No one cared.

Didn't really get a lot of press. And that's exactly what will happen this time.

One thing I found interesting, about the no kings media promo they're doing. One of the groups that's helping is the human rights campaign. And of course this is like an LGBTQ anti-pride group. Used to be more about gay rights. And now it's gone completely trans. And this is the group, that gives everybody their score. You know, their DEI score.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. That's right.

MEGYN: The math is totally off. You're actively out there protesting against the president, and we're still going to have anyone in corporate America, pretend that you're just an impartial arbiter, that is worried about a civil rights issue? As you're out there marching against the sitting president, with -- with people like Bradley Whitford, who are in internment camps. I mean, the mask is completely off.

They've already been defanged, thanks to Trump. And his active pushes through executive or his. And de I agenda. That's what's going to be there. The move on crew.

GLENN: How long does this go on? How long do we need the government and control of the government before it's crushed, the spirit of this is crushed? I know people will always believe some of the craziness of this stuff. But this -- the whole delusion that we were all living under for a long time. It seems to be over. Or at least dying. How long before it's dead?

MEGYN: Yeah. We need two terms with J.D. Vance, post Trump.

GLENN: That's exactly what Trump said.

MEGYN: Yeah. We can't -- and as much a miracle worker as Trump is. He can't get it done in four years. And we've learned from him how to do it.

And that's working. Just yesterday, there was a headline about is yet another hospital. This one in Boston. Shutting down the puberty blockers and cross sex hormones for anyone under age 19. Because Trump is defunding these hospitals that continue to provide that.

It's amazing. He did that via executive order.

So going three years without those so-called services. Is great. But if you go an extra eight on top of that, without them doing this, and then we see the difference in our youth, we're growing out of their gender dysphoria, just one example.

The case will be so much stronger for never bringing this barbarism, back again. And same with DEI. That's dying a fast death. Every day, you open the paper. And you see more stories. Sob stories on the left. About another DEI program that's been eliminated. And now these people have nothing to do with their useless degree that they got from Brown University or NYU or Harvard. So if we have another, let's say, three plus eight, and we go 11 years without people getting hired for these roles. The programs get eliminated at the universities.

No one wants to major in something that is not salable, after the fact. So if that's the case, and Trump has gotten us a jump-start on it all.

Yeah, it could be done in '28.

STU: I think you're referring to the numbers that we were just discussing. That there does seem to be a falloff. A decrease since 2023 of people who are identifying as, you know, LGBTQQIA2+. Is this a sign that it was a social contagion?

And you think the dropoff is real, or just a temporary thing.

MEGYN: Well, first, I think we have to give a shout-out to Justin Trudeau for leading the way and dating Katy Perry, abandoning his earlier, obvious confusion.

GLENN: That lesbian love that he's got. I didn't know that he's lesbian.

MEGYN: Exactly. I mean, honestly, I can't think of a man on earth, I would rather sleep with less than Justin Trudeau. Sorry!

GLENN: I'm -- you know what, I'm with you on that, and Katy Perry too. I'm like, Katy Perry is not somebody -- no, thank you!

MEGYN: I mean, obviously she's the dominant one in that relationship.

GLENN: Yeah.

MEGYN: But, yeah, no, that was great news. But it's -- when I was in Portugal. I was so encouraged, of course. Because I love to see those numbers fall. Absolutely awful, what we've been doing to children.

GLENN: Yes.

MEGYN: But I also feel so sad for the ones who got sucked in. You know, I got sucked into trends where we wore V-neck sweaters and long pearls that we tied in a knot. These kids are getting sucked into trends where they're having double mastectomies or huge portions of their forearm cut out and try to be built into a fake phallic. And they will never have sexual enjoyment. Never have sexual function. They will live the rest of their lives deformed. And obviously manipulated hormonally, where you can tell what they've done with the voice and so on.

And, you know, I just can't imagine.

The vast majority of them are sterile. They can never have children. These girls can never breast-feed.

GLENN: It's crazy.

MEGYN: They're confused if they wind up ever having them. So it's like great. Well-done, Democrats and barbaric doctors and hospitals. You've got a bunch of money. You worked out your woke bona fide on a bunch of 16-year-olds who will now have to walk around with the scars of your practice. You decided to practice on them, for the rest of their lives.

The only solution here is massive lawsuits. Huge, devastating lawsuits against the people who did this.

GLENN: I have to tell you, I'm watching Canada, what's happening with MAID up in Canada. And it's become barbaric up there.

We are probably five more years of, you know, full, you know, just full sprint out, the way we were going. Maximum ten, before we were in really, really scary, you know, 1930s kind of territory.

I -- I think there will come a time, where people, hopefully, that history books will -- you know, we will see these shows, where all of these and their people, and everything else. And it was all this woke stuff. This time period, will be just this weird time capsule. That people will look back and be like, what the hell happened to society?

What the hell were people thinking?

MEGYN: You're so right, Glenn. Ten years ago, people would ask that question. What will we look back that we're doing now? In a way we look back at lobotomizing people and say, that's horrible?

The conventional wisdom, ten, 15 years ago. Was the way we treat animals, like the slaughter of animals for human consumption.

GLENN: Yeah.

MEGYN: Boy, has that changed. I mean, in just a short amount of time, it switched to the mutilation of healthy children. For what?

At the hands of their own parents, who are working out their mental issues, on their children!

It's like -- and maybe they don't know, because the left doesn't tell them. Read about this in the New York Times. That 90 plus percent of these children will grow out of any gender confusion.

GLENN: But you have every doctor.

You have every doctor, you can go to, saying, you will kill your child, if you don't -- and there's a lot of people that are just -- they don't what an to do. They don't know what to do.

MEGYN: I know. And on top of that. The same doctors are saying, the child will kill themselves, unless we let them do this.

And you seek out a doctor, just for your child to have individual consultations with. And they're being told by all the medical societies, the only proper standard is to affirm, you may not explore any other mental issue with the child claiming German Shepherd confusion. So these psychologists and psychiatrists have their hands tied now by their licensing organizations.

We just have to go up to the Supreme Court, out of Colorado, where we tried to actually pass a law.

They did, pass a law. Saying, you may not say anything other than affirm. I affirm. I affirm.

We're making it known, a violation of law, for I to try to explore, whether the kid really is gender confused.

You have to affirm his delusion, or you committed, quote, conversion therapy on him. That law is going to get struck down.

STU: It is.

GLENN: It actually could be a nine-zero ruling. But, I mean, that's how crazy we've gotten in our stories. I think you mentioned this, Glenn, in the past five years, we've lost our mind on race and gender.

I think the tide has turned more dramatically on race, and as on the gender mania. That's an example of that.

But it has -- I feel that it's happening.

GLENN: I do too. I do too.

Megyn, thank you so much.

Megyn and I will be together on the Dick ease arena, next Saturday on the 25th of October.

Glenn Beck’s EMOTIONAL & HEATED TPUSA Campus Speech | Glenn TV | Ep 462

A few weeks before Charlie Kirk’s assassination, he asked Glenn Beck to join him on one of his Turning Point USA campus tours. Glenn agreed, but with one caveat: “I do not want to debate college students.” The terms were set: Glenn would educate about the truth of America’s history, while Charlie would debate. Then, everything changed on September 10, 2025. Despite the loss of one of America’s greatest political and spiritual giants, the American Comeback Tour didn’t stop at Utah Valley University. Friends like Glenn, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Michael Knowles, Allie Beth Stuckey, and Vice President JD Vance agreed to pick up Charlie’s torch to inspire the next generation of conservatives on college campuses. On October 9, Glenn delivered a powerful rallying cry to the students at North Dakota University. In this episode of Glenn TV, we bring you the best of his raw personal testimony. From his battles with addiction to discovering faith and purpose, Glenn shares transformative life principles drawn from his career journey. He also showcases priceless historical artifacts that challenge mainstream narratives about America’s complex legacy of good and evil. And he debuts a trailer for “George AI” — a groundbreaking AI tool he’s been quietly developing for a launch in 2026. Finally, Glenn takes heated questions from students about Israel, AIPAC, and October 7. All for Christ. For Country. For Charlie.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I have to tell you, I mean, listen to my voice. I'm tired from it.

The President went over on Sunday, conducted all of that business, got back on Air Force One, flew all the way back. He -- he said he flew back because he needed to do this on Charlie's birthday. He said he was going to delay it. And then he realized, "Oh. It's Charlie's birthday. Have to be down on his birthday." So flew all the way back. You know how much sheep he had in the 36 hours? Zero. Everybody else on the plane had about an hour and a half. Because if you're working for the President when he's up, you're up.

And they were zombies. Everybody was zombies. And he was -- I don't know how this guy does it. I mean, he doesn't take any drugs. He doesn't take -- you know, no -- nothing nonnatural goes into this guy's body.

STU: I mean, there's certain products at McDonald's, that do go down --

GLENN: Yes. You're right.

Okay. You're right. I can't say that. No stimulants go in his body.

STU: I don't know who RFK Jr is. Considering he see not drink.

He see not --

GLENN: Does not take drugs.

STU: He's very much against those stuff.

GLENN: Yeah, very much. Just good genetics, I think. The guy does not sleep. He just doesn't sleep.

STU: Is that concerning for long-term health? I mean, I guess --

GLENN: For everybody else. But he's been this way his whole life, I mean, this is the way he's operated his whole life. I don't think so. It's just the way he is. He doesn't need very much sleep.

The guy is changing the world. I mean, you remember we were watching -- we were watching when he arrived in Egypt. And I said, "I've never seen this before."

I'll have to narrow this down for you. Because I say this several times a day now.

When the world leaders get together, they stand on the stage and get one shot. Once in a while, they'll stand on stage, as they're assembling. And they'll talk amongst themselves. But I've never seen a photo line with world leaders, to take a picture one on one with the president. Okay?

Never seen that in my life. Okay?

That's what was happening on Monday. In Egypt!

He was two hours late. Okay?

And apparently, and I'm not going to divulge too. Apparently, one person was upset. And was like, I'm not waiting around for this.

Yet, they waited around for it.

And they lined up. Even the king of Saudi Arabia was in the line, waiting in the line for 30 minutes.

While he took photos with all of the leaders around the world.

They are treating him -- I mean, he's changed the world. The guy knows how to use power.

It's my understanding from conversations that I had piecing some things together. It's my understanding, Vladimir Putin has changed with him too.

Even Putin has known -- noticed, this is the guy who is kind of steering the world and is more deferential to Donald Trump.

And I hope that's true. I hope that begins to play out with Ukraine.

STU: It's quite key to understand who you're speaking with, right?

It's not always about what you want to say and what you want. It's about what the other person wants and what they understand.

Someone made the point that Donald Trump speaks Arabic better than any native speaker. And I thought that was an interesting comment.

It's like, you know, it is a -- he -- he seems to be able to communicate to the leaders in that part of the world.

GLENN: They understand strength.

STU: They understand it, yeah.

And they react to it.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: And I think they don't see him as a -- a passing -- like, oh, he's here. But just wait him out.

They don't think he's going to change or fold on this stuff.

GLENN: And they think he's changing the world. And everybody who follows him, is going to follow in these footsteps.

They don't think, this is just, he has got three more years left, and then Kamala comes back. They don't think that --
STU: They think it's changed for good?
GLENN: They think it's changed for good. I believe they think J.D. Vance is going to be the next president. And I think so too.

I mean --

STU: Certainly, the favorite of the Republican Party, obviously.

GLENN: Yeah. He's -- he's killing it.

But then again, I saw Marco Rubio yesterday. He listens to the show. And his wife listens to every word of the show. And I said, "I hope you've noticed that we really like what Marco is doing."

I mean, the guy is -- and I said to him. I said, "Marco, what happened?"

And he's like, "What?" I said, "You know, we've always been a fan of yours. I mean, we interviewed him for the first time." You remember the first time we interviewed him for president, the very first time, and we all got into a car. You, me, and Pat, we did a video. We were like, "This guy is amazing. He's great."

STU: Really liked him.

GLENN: And then he got into the Senate and was kind of, I don't know, hard to pin down. I don't know what happened to him. And he immediately said, "It's the president."

I said, "Eh, the president is leading, yes. But there's a change in you. You are just killing it. Killing it."

STU: Should we join in here for one quick side bar of the current odds to win the presidential election at 2028.

Okay. So first -- first place, this is according to Kalshi. 32 percent chance, J.D. Vance. Second place, 21 percent chance, Gavin Newsom.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

STU: Third place -- I mean, again, this is prediction markets, what people believe will happen. This is not an official poll or anything.

Third place, 7 percent, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

GLENN: In third place.

STU: In third place. Comically, fourth place is also 7 percent actually is Donald J. Trump. You may have heard him. Currently president of the United States. And that would be -- that would be an interesting Constitutional amendment for that to occur for that to happen.

GLENN: It would be. It would be.

STU: Then you have Pete Buttigieg. Marco Rubio at 4 percent. Josh Shapiro. Kamala Harris. Wes Moore, Maryland. Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan. Andy Beshear, Kentucky.

GLENN: Okay, so it's way too early. It's way too early.

STU: Three percent. Glenn Youngkin, 2 percent.

GLENN: Oh, I'm sorry.

Glenn Youngkin. I thought you were saying Glenn Beck. Because then that would start to make sense. Everyone putting their money down is insane!

STU: Yeah, again, I would not be betting on that market now.

GLENN: No, I would not. But, I mean, he is -- he is on top of it.

And honestly, we're going need to somebody who operates like Donald Trump and can keep the republic. Keep the republic. Keep the Constitution.

Because we're going to head for some really, very difficult times. Very difficult times. But, anyway, back to the Charlie Kirk thing. It was very, very nice.

Erika is, you know, really gaining her voice. Only towards the end was she really kind of breaking down, but she was very good. The president was so gracious yesterday with everybody.

I mean, he is really an amazing man. But it is funny, because I have a picture of the two of us be by the Oval. Outside of the Oval. You open up the Oval Office door and you walk out, yeah, there it is.

Yeah. I have a picture of us. And he is right there, he's pointing to the Rose Garden. And I said, "You know, the worst thing that I think anybody has done to a First Lady was done to Melania."

I said, "They did so many bad things. But one of them is this Rose Garden." I said, "If I'm not mistaken, she just took Jackie O's exact plans and redid them."

And he said, "Yes. Yes!"

I said, "I can't believe how dishonest the press is. They just want to destroy you, and they'll go after your wife on that."

It's restoring the Jackie O plan!

And in their press coverage, they were like, "This is offensive. Jackie O would be..."

No, she would be happy that it was her plan.

Anyway, he said, "Yeah, I'm going to pave over this."

And I'm like, "Oh, my gosh, you're going to what?" And he said, "No, they're going to be nice pavers, but, you know, I'm going to pave over this." And he said, "Because it's useless." He said, "It's grass." So women come and they stand and they're on their heels, and they're sinking into the grass. It's usually wet." He said, "We need to be able to hold events out there." And he said, "And it would be beautiful, beyond anything like anybody has ever seen."

So he starts yesterday and he comes out. And he said, "This is the first time" -- he said, "I just put these pavers down."

And he said, "This is the first event in the Rose Garden with these pavers."

And it's absolutely beautiful. It's got flags on the corner. They have these special flags made. It's really, really -- it's beautiful. All the press was tanged in the back. And I haven't heard word one from the press on this. Not word one. Have you heard anything about what he's done with the Rose Garden?

STU: No. I did see some plans. Are these accurate plans where they will build another giant building on the property? Is that --

GLENN: Oh, that -- yeah. He's doing that.

STU: Is that going to happen?

GLENN: He's paying for it all, he's doing it all. It's a big ballroom.

He's like, "The country needs a ballroom." You know, "We have these state dinners." He said, "We put them on the grass." He said, "We need a ballroom."

And he said, "Tax payers don't want to pay for a ballroom, I'll pay for it."

So he's building it, and it will be done.

He said, by 2026. You know, some time early spring 2026. I'll believe it when I see it. But he tends to get things done quickly.

STU: Yeah. Sure.

GLENN: But the one thing I noticed was the security perimeter of the White House is astounding! It's at least doubled. Now you don't go into that park. You can go into the park. But you can only go in certain places in the park. But I think they're moving the perimeter, the security perimeter, at least a block around it. All the way around.

STU: Perfect sense, obviously with this environment.

GLENN: It was the first time I've seen the president in many months, outside without bulletproof glass between us.

I mean, he -- he stood outside, you know, trees in the area. Buildings in the area. And he was safe, outside. And it must be weird to live in that kind of bubble. But it was amazing. It was amazing.

They're really doing a good job. And the entire ceremony, the guy just knows, and he's just a showman. He just knows how to do things like this.

Except, somebody had hijacked. I mean, I think he had hijacked the music. Like ten minutes before he came out. It's like Abba, Dancing Queen, was playing. In the Rose Garden.

It was a little -- but then it stopped. And you could tell just -- you could tell when he actually picked. And I can guarantee you, he picked it.

And I was in -- remember I told you last time I was in the White House. I told you, he had selected all of these paintings of all of the presidents. And he put them strategically.

And when I was with him last, he said, I don't know what to do with this guy. And he had in the hallway kind of stuffed in the corner of the residence. The painting of Eisenhower.

And I said, "Eisenhower was the one who warned about everything you're dealing with right now."

I said, "Go back and read the industrial, you know, military-industrial complex speech. He talks about education and science and everything else."

I said, "He should be in your walk."

Because he said, "I put all of the paintings down strategically, so when I turn a corner, I see a face of somebody that reminds me, learn. Don't forget the lesson from him."

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Now, you come down from out of the residence, and you turn that first corner, and he's moved the picture of Eisenhower. So the first president that he sees, as he comes down the stairs is Eisenhower. It's pretty cool.

STU: It's interesting. Do you think people see Donald Trump as a guy who thinks that way?

GLENN: No. But that's what they miss. That's what they miss.

He's -- he's really strategic in everything he does. I mean, he -- he -- he really knows, choose your thoughts. And so he's always -- you come down the stairs. And he's looking at Abraham Lincoln.

He turns that corner. And he's now looking at -- at -- at Eisenhower.

Every time he turns a corner, there is a Ronald Reagan, you know, there's George Washington.

He's always turning the corners, and looking at people to remind him. He -- he is a very thoughtful guy. Really thoughtful. Because he knows, choose your thoughts.

And that will -- and that will move your life forward in that direction.

STU: Seems to have a more complete understanding of history, now. Too. Would you say that the second term?

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

STU: He went into that first term, obviously like -- you didn't even know at that point.

GLENN: No, his learning curve is almost straight up. The guy doesn't sleep.

So I was talking to I think Master Crowley. And she said that -- she walked in, in the middle of the night. Everybody is -- everybody is trying to get some shut eye. And she said, "He's in his office with stacks of books and papers. And he's just digesting all of this stuff." She said, "He's up all night just reading and getting stuff done."

It's remarkable.
