GLENN: Let me go to Trump, announcing his ten-step plan to dismantle the Deep State. Listen to this. If you haven't heard it, you will love this.

DONALD: Here's my plan to dismantle the Deep State and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption, once and for all. And corruption it is. First, I will immediately reissue my 2020 executive order restoring the president's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. And I will wield that power very aggressively. Second, we will clean out all the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus. And there are plenty of them.

The departments and agencies, that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled, so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left's political enemies, which they're doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible.

Third, we will totally reform FISA courts, which are so corrupt, that the judges seemingly do not care whether they are lied to in warrant applications. So many judges have seen so many applications, that they know were wrong, or at least they must have known. They do nothing about it. They're lied to.

Fourth, to expose the hoaxes and abuses of power, that have been tearing our country apart. We will establish a truth and reconciliation commission, to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and corruption. And there are plenty of them.

Fifth, we will launch a major crackdown government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy.

When possible, we will press criminal charges.

Sixth, we will make every inspector general's office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee, so that they do not become the protectors of the Deep State.

Seventh, I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies, to ensure, they are not spying on our citizens, or running disinformation campaigns against the American people. Or that they're not spying on someone's campaign, like they spied on my campaign.

Eighth, we will continue the effort, launched by the Trump administration, to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy, to new locations, outside the Washington swamp.

Just as I moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado, as many as 100 thousand government positions, could be moved out. And I mean, immediately, of Washington, to places filled with patriots, who love America. And they really do love America.

Ninth, I will work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs, at the companies they deal with.

That they regulate. So they deal with these companies. Or they regulate these companies. Then they want to take jobs from these companies.

Doesn't work that way. Such a public display, cannot go on. And it's taking place all the time, like with Big Pharma. Finally, I will push a constitutional amendment, to oppose term limits on members of Congress. This is how I will shatter the Deep State, and restore a government that is controlled by the people and for the people. Thank you very much.

GLENN: I just -- now, tell me, what is -- what is possibly objectionable about that? Everybody wants term limits. And he's going for a constitutional amendment.

Everybody wants it, except for the people in Congress. He wants to ban the bureaucrats, from going into the businesses that they regulate after they leave government.

That's absolutely fantastic. That stops all of this graft and all of this corruption. But Democrats have been asking for that, for forever.

Moving government, breaking it up, and moving it to different parts of the country. I think that's smart just for Homeland Security. I just hope they don't poison the places where they're moving them to.

Independent monitoring of the intelligence agency. So they're not spying on Americans.

How could you possibly, as a Democrat, how could you possibly be against that?

They're not spying on us. And there's no disinformation campaigns, which we know happened. The inspector general's office of each thing that they monitor, being independent from those -- from those institutions.

So if I am monitoring, and I'm the inspector general, of the Pentagon, I'm not part of the Pentagon. So I can't be shut down. That is fantastic.

How could you be possibly against that.

This one is a little -- we have to look at the wording. Government leakers. He will fire any government leakers, and prosecute where possible. If they are trying to subvert the government or working in collusion, to give false narratives to the press. Okay?

I think I'm for that one. But I want to make sure that leakers and whistle-blowers are protected.

The FISA courts, Stu. How could you possibly be against that, if you're a Democrat?

And the Justice Department. Clean up the Justice Department. What was the other one? Oh, going for the truth and reconciliation.

That's a document dump. Who is against document dumps? I would like to know exactly what the truth is on all of these things.

I want to know. I think this is uniting. Now, the press will make this into a horrible dictatorial stuff. But it's not. Practice have if -- if the Biden administration would have done this, I would have been for all of these.

Now, what is the problem with them, Stu?

STU: Yeah. I mean, I think if you go through all those proposals, probably the worst thing you can say about them, is that several of them are sort of just not particularly interesting to the average person. Like, I think a lot of people don't even know what a FISA court is. Like, when you're talking about it from that perspective, they might be good policies. But they're not going to be exciting.

And they range from that, to the most popular proposals in our public discourse. Immure talking about things like term limits.

Which you talk about 80 percent popularity, around a proposal like that.

And the only thing stopping it is Congress. They've been, you know, doing this forever. Because they're protecting their own gigs.

Now, I will say, I am going to be very, very entertained when part of this proposal, he floats to taunt the media, a third presidential term. That's going to be fun.

And I can't wait until he does it. Because you know he will do it.

If senators get 12 years, why wouldn't a president. Your favorite president. Why wouldn't he get 12 years?

That's coming.

GLENN: I want him to float the idea of packing the court. I want him to do that, just so badly. Because everybody would be like, that's -- you can't do -- that's ridiculous.

He's going to control the court forever that way. That's unconstitutional. I would love him to just float it for about a week. And then say, huh. Thank you for all of those sound bites. We will use them against you, if you ever get in power and try for pack the court. Because you clearly know why this is wrong.

STU: Yeah. Honestly, I would -- I'm sorry -- I love that approach.

I think he comes out. He says, I'm going to start studying those proposals made by the left, during the last couple of years, as some of them sound interesting. Let them all get excited.

Then come back. Pull the rug out from underneath it. Then propose something that locks it at nine, forever.

Seriously. This is ridiculous. Let's just set it at 9:00. And then be done with it.

This shouldn't be something that is even talked about. It is a ridiculous manipulation of power.

We've seen the left try to do it hundred times. Let's get rid of that one forever.

You are going to have it, go through a constitutional process. Check that one in there too.

GLENN: So friends of mine sent me a text message, between two friends, that just came in.

And I really -- this -- this is mental illness. It really is mental illness. Listen to -- listen to this exchange via text. Okay?

Did you all vote Republican?

Just trying to figure out who to trust.

We voted both ways. We're Libertarians.

Okay. This is the response.

We voted both ways, we're Libertarians.

Sorry. If you feel our choices in this election is needed to end the friendship.

I feel like we've trusted one another throughout the years. Unfortunately, no one is perfect, in either way that you choose.

I hope you can still feel comfortable, reaching out to us. If you ever need anything.

And still be friends.

Now, this is a long-term friendship.

Men are hurting us!

They're laughing gleefully at our pain.

If you voted Republican, that's all because you're okay with that.

Men are hurting us. Could you be more specific? Men are hurting us. Could you also show us where the men are that are laughing in your face? They are holding up signs saying women are property. Could you help me out with that one. Could you show me a picture of those signs?

STU: That one, I did see a real estate listing, that did list women as property. So that is happening.

GLENN: Okay. So it's a real decision --

STU: Online.

GLENN: Okay. All right.

Are your daughters property? Well, they are now.

STU: Huh.

GLENN: What?

Now, this person responds in a way that I wouldn't have. I would have saved this one for later. Because I have too many questions on what she just said. She said, are you all going to sell the Tesla now? Isn't that supporting Musk and the Republican Party. Then the friend responded. I saw your Ted Cruz sign.

He wants my child dead.

STU: That was a weird part of his campaign. The whole, I want your child dead, vote for me, instead of Allred chanting.

But it worked. He won.

GLENN: Right. And then she responded the Tesla thing. No. We bought it used. And there's no way to escape capitalism right now.

But you chose this. You chose to make women property.

Well, I'm sure I'm sorry that you feel like you have to you be friend us. There were good things on both sides. If you hate us, then you really never knew us.

I hope you get everything you voted for.

I hope it all affects you personally.

Me too, actually.

I hope it affects you too, because it will be good.

You hate me and my child if you voted for people who openly called for our deaths. Who called for your deaths?

Please, give me. Before you break up a long-term friendship, can you please just give me the original source, of people calling for your deaths.

Now, I'm sure there are people online, that have said, really crazy things.

Because honestly, let's go up about four paragraphs, and what you just sent. You say really crazy things, too.

So let's just deal with who said that, when it was said, what the context was. Because I've never heard that before. So now, we all know. I already knew, but I hope you were able to see what was happening because you're not stupid.

Please, forget we exist.

I beg you not to talk to anyone about my son, who is disabled.

We're first on the chopping block.

Now, apparently, the son is trans, and disabled. Well, you know what, I think there are rules at Auschwitz. Yeah. He would be first. Oh, we don't live in Nazi Germany, do we?

Please forget we exist, and don't turn us in. Wow. You are 100 percent, I guess we voted wrong. Sarcasm in the face of my pain?

What pain? What pain?

Your pain is being caused because you believe lies. If you actually think that Donald Trump wants your trans handicapped child dead, you have no idea. You are so far out of reality.

I hope you have a lovely day. God bless you and your family. Typically.

I'm kidding. Please don't hurt us. We don't exist. You don't know us.

You're so compassionate with your name-calling, and if you believe that, stop texting us. What name did I call you

I will stop. But I didn't call you any names. I did not. I truly hope that you would see the light, because the Cruz sign didn't come back. I thought you would care that women are dying.

Again, give me a fact. Show me an original source.

Where are women dying?

We are now literally property of men.

You say literally, show me the source on that.

My mistake.

You said we were stupid with, for who we voted for.

No. I said you were not stupid. Which means you did it with purpose.

Oh, so I'm not stupid. I'm just evil, voting knowingly for your child to be killed?

May your daughters bleed out in the hospital parking lot now. I hope you have the good sense to be lesbians or childless cat ladies.

Again, as I said, you're 100 percent right. Maybe four more years, we can be friends. L-O-L.

Women are property now.

What the hell is wrong with people?

WARNING: How America Elects a Socialist President in 2028 | Glenn TV | Ep 444

The rise of Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old socialist who just won the Democratic primary for mayor, is not just a political earthquake shaking New York City — it’s a warning for the rest of America. Backed by Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the Democratic Socialists of America, Mamdani promises free everything, to tax the rich, and to dismantle capitalism. There’s nothing new about this tired strategy, but the media is propping him up as a new political genius. And with Democrat leaders lining up behind him, it’s clear: This radicalism isn’t fringe anymore. It’s the Democratic Party’s future. Mamdani’s rise is part of a larger movement that’s rewriting America’s values. Glenn Beck explains how New York is the prototype for the Left’s socialist makeover of America. Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Standford, gives a terrifying prediction on Mamdani’s mayoral race chances and warns the revolution is coming for mainstream Democrats. He also dives into MAGA’s frustration with the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.

INSIDE Trump’s soul: How a bullet changed his heart forever

“I have a new purpose,” then-candidate Donald Trump told reporter Salena Zito after surviving the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Salena joins Glenn Beck to reveal what Trump told her about God, his purpose in life, and why he really said, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, as she details in her new book, “Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland”.

GLENN: Salena, congratulations on your book. It is so good.

Just started reading it. Or listening to it, last night.

And I wish you would have -- I wish you would have read it. But, you know, the lady you have reading it is really good.

I just enjoy the way you tell stories.

The writing of this is the best explanation on who Trump supporters are. That I think I've ever read, from anybody.

It's really good.

And the description of your experience there at the edge of the stage with Donald Trump is pretty remarkable as well. Welcome to the program.

SALENA: Thank you, Glenn. Thank you so much for having me.

You know, I was thinking about this, as I was ready to come on. You and I have been along for this ride forever. For what?

Since 2006? 2005?

Like 20 years, right?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

SALENA: And I've been chronicling the American people for probably ten more years, before that. And it's really remarkable to me, as watching how this coalition has grown. Right?

And watching how people have the -- have become more aspirational.

And that's -- and that is what the conservative populist coalition is, right?

It is the aspirations of many, but the celebration of the individual.

And chronicling them, yeah. Has been -- has been, a great honor.

GLENN: You know, I was thinking about this yesterday, when -- when Elon Musk said he was starting another party.

And somebody asked me, well, isn't he doing what the Tea Party tried to do?

No. The Tea Party was not going to start a new party.

It was to -- you know, it was to coerce and convince the Republican Party to do the right thing. And it worked in many ways. It didn't accomplish what we hoped.

But it did accomplish a lot of things.

Donald Trump is a result of the Tea Party.

I truly believe that. And a lot of the people that were -- right?

Were with Donald Trump, are the people that were with the Tea Party.


SALENA: That's absolutely right.

So that was the inception.

So American politics has always had movements, that have been just outside of a party. Or within a party.

That galvanize and broaden the coalition. Right? They don't take away. Or walk away, and become another party.

If anything, if there is a third party out there, it's almost a Republican Party.

Because it has changed in so many viable and meaningful ways. And the Tea Party didn't go away. It strengthened and broadened the Republican Party. Because these weren't just Republicans that became part of this party.

It was independents. It was Democrats.

And just unhappy with the establishment Republicans. And unhappy with Democrats.

And that -- that movement is what we -- what I see today.

What I see every day. What I saw that day, in butler, when I showed I happen at that rally.

As I do, so many rallies, you know, throughout my career. And that one was riveting and changed everything.

GLENN: You made a great case in the opening chapter. You talk about how things were going for Donald Trump.

And how this moment really did change everything for Donald Trump.

Changed the trajectory, changed the mood.

I mean, Elon Musk was not on the Trump train, until this.

SALENA: Yeah.

GLENN: Moment. What do I -- what changed? How -- how did that work?

And -- and I contend, that we would have much more profound change, had the media actually done their job and reported this the way it really was. Pragmatism

SALENA: You know, and people will find this in the book. I'm laying on the ground with an agent on top of me.

I'm 4 feet away from the president.

And there's -- there's notices coming up on my phone. Saying, he was hit by broken glass.

And to this take, that remains part of this sibling culture, in American politics.

Because reporters were -- were so anxious to -- to right what they believed happened.

As opposed to what happened.

And it's been a continual frustration of mine, as a reporter, who is on the ground, all the time.

And I'll tell you, what changed in that moment.

And I say a nuance, and I believe nuance is dead in American journalism.

But it was a nuance and it was a powerful conversation, that I had with President Trump, the next day. He called me the next morning.

But it's a powerful conversation I had with him, just two weeks ago.

When he made this decision to say, fight, fight, fight.

People have put in their heads, why they think he said it. But he told me why he said that. And he said, Salena, in that moment, I was not Donald Trump the man. I was a former president. I was quite possibly going to be president again.

And I had an obligation to the country, and to the office that I have served in, to project strength. To project resolve.

To project that we will not be defeated.

And it's sort of like a symbolic eagle, that is always -- you know, that symbol that we look at, when we think about our country.

He said, that's why I said that. I didn't want the people behind me panicking. I didn't want the people watching, panicking.

I had to show strength. And it's that nuance -- that I think people really picked up on.

And galvanized people.

GLENN: So he told me, when he was laying down on the stage.

And you can hear him. Let me get up. Let me get up.

I've got to get up.

He told me, as I was laying on the stage. I asked him, what were you thinking? What was going through your head? Now, Salena, I don't know about you.

But with me. It would be like, how do I get off the stage? My first was survival.

He said, what was going on through his mind was, you're not pathetic. This is pathetic.

You're not afraid. Get up.

Get up.

And so is that what informed his fight, fight, fight, of that by the time that he's standing up, he's thinking, I'm a symbol? Or do you think he was thinking, I'm a symbol, this looks pathetic. It makes you look weak.

Stand up. How do you think that actually happened?

SALENA: He thinks, and we just talked about this weeks ago. He -- you know, and this is something that he's really thought about.

Right? You know, he's gone over and over and over. And also, purpose and God. Right? These are things that have lingered with him.

You know, he -- he thought, yes.

He did think, it was pathetic that he was on the ground. But he wasn't thinking about, I'm Donald Trump. It's pathetic.

He's thinking, my country is symbolically on the ground. I need to get up, and I need to show that my country is strong.

That our country is resolute.

And I need people to see that.

We can't go on looking like pathetic.

Right?

And I think that then goes to that image of Biden.

GLENN: You have been with so many presidents.

How many presidents do you think that you've personally been with, would have thought that and reacted that way?

SALENA: Probably only Reagan. Reagan would have. Reagan probably would have thought that.

And if you remember how he was out like standing outside.

You know, waving out the window. Right?

After he was shot.

GLENN: At the hospital, right.

SALENA: Had he not been knocked out, unconscious, you know, he probably would have done the same thing.

Because he was someone who deeply believed in American exceptionalism.

And American exceptionalism does not go lay on the ground.

GLENN: And the symbol.

Right. The symbol of the presidency.

SALENA: Yeah. Absolutely. And I think that affects him today.

GLENN: So let me go back to God.

Because you talked to him the next day. And your book Butler.

He calls you up.

I love the fact that your parents would be ashamed of you. On what you said to him.

The language you used. That you just have to read the book.

It's just a great part.

But he calls you the next morning. And wants to know if you're okay.

And you -- you then start talking to him, about God.

And I was -- I was thinking about this, as I was listening to it. You know, Lincoln said, I wasn't -- I wasn't a Christian.

Even though, he was.

I wasn't a Christian, when I was elected. I wasn't a Christian when my son died.

I became a Christian at Gettysburg.

Is -- is -- I mean, I believe Donald Trump always believes in God, et cetera, et cetera.

Do you think there was a real profound change at Butler with him?


SALENA: Absolutely. You know, he called me seven times that day. Seven times, the take after seven.

GLENN: Crazy.

SALENA: Talked about. And I think he was looking for someone that he knew, that was there. And to try to sort it out.

Right? And I let him do most of the talking. I didn't pressure him.

At all. I believed that he was having -- you know, he was struggling. And he needed to just talk. And I believed my purpose was to listen.

Right? I know other reporters would have handled it differently. And that's okay. That's not the kind of reporter that I am.

And I myself was having my own like, why didn't I die?

Right?

Because it went right over my head.

And -- and so I -- he had the conversation about God.

He's funny. I thought it was the biggest mosquito in the world that hit me.

But he had talked profoundly about purpose. You know, and God.

And how God was in that moment.

It --

GLENN: I love the way you -- in the book, I love the way you said that as he's kind of working it out in his own he head.

He was like, you know, I -- I -- I always knew that there was some sort of, you know -- that God was present.

He said, but now that this has happened.

I look back at all of the trials.

All of the tribulations. Literally, the trials.

All of the things that have happened. And he's like, I realized God was there the whole time.

SALENA: Yes. He does. And it's fascinating to have been that witness to history, to have those conversations with him. Because I'm telling you. And y'all know, I can talk. I didn't say much of anything.

I just -- I just listened. I felt that was my purpose, in that moment.

To give him that space, to work it out.

I'm someone that is, you know, believes in God.

I'm Catholic. I followed my faith.

And -- and so, I thought, well, this is why God put me here. Right?

And to -- to have that -- to hear him talk about purpose, to hear him say, Salena. Why did I put a chart down?

I'm like, sir. I don't know. I thought you were Ross Perot for a second.

He never has a chart. And he laughed. And then he said, why did I put that chart down?

By that term, I never turned my head away from people at the rally. That's true.

That relationship is very transactional. It's very -- they feed off of each other.

It's a very emotive moment when you attend a rally. Because he has a way of talking at a rally. That you believe that you are seeing.

And he said, and I never turn my head away.

I never turn my head away.

Why did I turn my head away?

I don't remember consciously thinking about turning my head away. And then he says to me, that was God, wasn't it?

Yes, sir. It was. It was God.

And he said, that's -- that's why I have a new purpose.

And so, Glenn. I think it's important, when you look at the breadth of what has happened, since he was sworn in.

You see that purpose, every day.

He doesn't let up.

He continues going.

And it brings back to the beginning of the book.

Where you find out, that there was another president that was shot at in Butler.

And that was George Washington. And how different the country would have been, had he died in that moment.

And now think about how different the country would be, had President Trump died in that moment. There would be --

GLENN: We're talking to -- we're talking to Salena Zito. About her new book called Butler. The assassination attempt on President Trump. And it is riveting.

And, you know, it is so good. I wish the press would read it. Because it really explains who we are, who Trump supporters are. Who are, you know, red staters. It is so good at that. She's the best at that.
