What’s REALLY inside Democrats' HUGE climate/inflation bill

By now, most Americans know the Democrats’ ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ bill will not ACTUALLY reduce inflation or miraculously end climate change. But you may not be aware of several, specific clauses — HIDDEN deep inside the bill’s 700+ pages — that exist simply to benefit the Democrat Party (like huge payouts to special interest groups that helped Joe Biden win the White House, for example). Economist Stephen Moore, Co-founder of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, joins Glenn to detail what he found hidden inside this HUGE bill…

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors\

GLENN: Stephen, tell me what you found, that was hidden in this bill.

STEPHEN: Well, how much time you have, Glenn?
(laughter)
This is something like 800 pages. But I don't even kind of know where to start. But the --

GLENN: Can we start with this: Did you find on page, like, 683.

We found the EPA is now authorized, has the money and the teeth to create their own ESG framework for farmers. Did you see that?

STEPHEN: Yeah. Yeah.

I did, and I'll give you another one, that I think is outrageous. We found that, for example, they have $3 billion for something called environmental justice grants. You heard about that. Now, I'll tell you what that is. It's just a payoff to all the liberal special interest groups. All the -- you know, the groups that made Joe Biden's -- this is graft. This is graft. It's basically paying the people who elected Biden money. And the whole bill is graft. All it does is give money to all the groups that gave Joe Biden money. And I'll give you an example of that.

They have 87,000 new IRS agents. Twenty to $30 billion more they're going to spend in doubling the size of the IRS.

Do you know the IRS employees have a PAC, a Political Action Committee.

Do you know where -- which party, 99 percent of that money goes to?

GLENN: Yeah.
(laughter)

STEPHEN: The Democrats. Then let's get this right. The Democrats will have $40 billion to the IRS to hire 87,000 more agents.

Those 87,000 more agents are going to give money to the Political Action Committee of the employees, and the employees will give the money back to the -- to the -- to the Democrats, who -- who -- who gave the money in the first place. This is like a third world country we're turning into.

GLENN: I know. I know.

You know, it really bothers me as well, Stephen, that they've made it a pull of government action, to sign up new voters. And register new voters. So every agency is now doing it. And with the flood of money, that is coming into these agencies. You know, I don't know what's real and what's not anymore. Because we don't -- nobody is following it.

STEPHEN: Yeah. So you asked me about some other read crazy stuff in this bill. They wanted to give all this money for the electric battery industry, so everybody could go out and buy electric cars. By the way, if you have a car that runs on gasoline.

You might want to hold on to that. Because I'm not making this up. My prediction within 5 to 10 years, they're going to abolish any new cars that are gas powered.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

STEPHEN: They're going to make -- you're not going to have any choice. You're going to have to buy an electric vehicle, whether you want to or not. And, by the way, do you know what percentage of new car sales, in the last three months were electric vehicles? What percentage. 5 percent.

So 95 percent of the people, want and are buying, are not electric vehicles. I don't have anything against electric vengeance. But I don't want the government telling me, I have to buy one.

GLENN: Right. And I also would like to see the plan. I've talked to energy people, and they're like, you put the entire fleet on electricity. We're out. We're out. Okay. Hang on. Hang on. Stephen Moore is with us. We're going to continue our conversation here in just a second. Stand by for more.
(music)
If -- if we have time, to get to this, with Stephen, I would love to talk to him, and hear his thoughts on the new economic system. That the brick condition. Or countries are putting together. China, Russia, all of them. Brazil. And they are challenging the U.S. dollar. It is coming. You know, I know you might have money in the bank. But if the currency continues to deflate. I don't care if you're Warren Buffett. If your currency. If you have it all in dollars. As it inflates. And we have a challenge. And our reserve currency status goes away. It's paper. That's all it is.

Goldline is giving away 20 of the new 1 ounce Ben Franklin copper rounds. With every gold legal tender bar card purchased. It is a huge number of rounds. It will be included free of charge. The bars always sell out. Don't wait. Ask about the special.

Call Goldline right now. It is so important that you take some of your money and -- and hedge against insanity. It's not just inflation anymore. It's insanity. Goldline. 866GOLDLINE. 866GOLDLINE.

STU: BlazeTV.com/Glenn. The promo code is Glenn. We're back with more of where your trillions of dollars are going, next.
(OUT AT 10:28AM)

GLENN: All right. We're talking to Stephen Moore, who has gone through the inflation reduction act. Which, can we stop with this?

If it's named the, oh, sweet little puppy did you guys want to give you a hug act, you know it's riddled with bad things. Okay?

Let's go to Stephen Moore, who has been going through this, and you found a few things that maybe we should have paid attention to, or at least read before we signed the bill and voted for it.

STEPHEN: By the way, let me just confess, I tried to make it through the whole bill. It's something like 800 pages.

GLENN: Gee.

STEPHEN: So I'm not all the way through it. But I want to make a point here. Glenn, seriously, how many members of Congress do you think read this bill?

GLENN: None. Yeah.

STEPHEN: Zero. They had no idea what's in it. It's some way to run a country, isn't it? Where you're taxing and spending $700 billion more money, and none of them have any idea what's in the bill.

GLENN: I talked to members of Congress and the Senate, all the time. And they tell me. There are only four people, that run the place up there.

And it's McCarthy, Pelosi, Schumer, and McConnell. And they get together, and they make all of it. And they say, this is what you're doing. And they put it out, and you don't even get a chance to read it.

STEPHEN: It's worse than that, Glenn. Because the truth is that McCarthy, McConnell, Pelosi. They don't even know what is in this bill. In other words, they didn't write the bill. This is written by some 24-year-old, you know, graduate of, you know, Wesleyan college, who is a left-winger. How do you think this stuff gets in the bill?

GLENN: Well, I would like to know which organizations actually did the bulk of work on it. Because like, the health care bill you remember. I mean, it was not written by anybody actually in the government. When they --

STEPHEN: Exactly.

GLENN: If God forbid, they actually pass regulation on these social media companies, it will all be written by them. It will be.

STEPHEN: Yeah. Yeah. These lobbyists virtually are writing the bills. That's how bad it is.

No. You asked me, what some other stuff in here, that's outrageous. So this is more kind of humorous. So they had this bill -- you know, the bill. It's giving all this money for electric batteries and Tesla. And all the electric cars. But the problem is, of course, that guess where those batteries are made.

GLENN: China.

STEPHEN: China. So then they realize, whoops, we have a problem here. This is a big subsidy program to China. So then they realized, okay. We'll not let you get the subsidies if they were made in China. Then they found that 85 percent of the cars aren't eligible --

GLENN: Right. I think it was the auto industry.

They knew about this. It's weird. The American people didn't know about it. But the auto industry knew about it, and they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't do that.

STEPHEN: So without China, we have these cars. Right? And, look, it's lunacy.

We have more coal. We have more oil. More gas, than any other country in the world. You know, and natural gas, by the way, is reducing pollution levels.

And so this bill constricts the amount of energy we can -- and don't believe for one minute, this line that this is going to increase our -- you know, our production of oil, gas, and coal. Do you think any of those permits are ever going to get permitted?

GLENN: No.

STEPHEN: Zero. I mean, the Democrats have already said that.

GLENN: Can you take that on, in any way that relates to this bill, if you can.

You know, people actually believe that it's the oil companies, that aren't doing it. And, you know, we've already talked about ESG, and how that funding has dried up for exploration.

But the government -- is this bill actually opening anything, or is it -- is it designed to hurt the oil and gas industry?

STEPHEN: Well, I mean, just asking the question, answers it, right? This is a president, the one promise that he made, that he's kept, is that remember, when he said, we're having this debate against Trump. I mean to close down the oil and gas industry. And that's exactly what he is doing.

We have a new study out, by my friend Casey mull the ban, who is one of the top economists in the country. University of Chicago. We estimated we would be producing 3 million more barrels a day. A day, if Trump were still president. And we have the laws in place, that we did then. And think about that.

One hundred million -- $100 a barrel. Math is pretty easy here, Glenn. One hundred dollars, times 300. Three million.

That's 300 million dollars a day. A day, the country is losing. Because these lunatics, energy policy.

That's over 100 billion dollars a year, this is costing us.

And I'm sorry, folks. Anyone who actually believes for one minute, that you can run a 23 trillion-dollar economy, that makes cars and steel and manufacture products. And construction products. And the technology industry.

You're going to run that on windmills? It is -- it is -- it is so preposterous.

GLENN: Here's the thing. The reason why we really change the world, and also had that moment in America, after the war. Was because, we had three things. We had -- we had all of the riches of the earth, in -- in here. And we were using them.

We had cheap energy. Not just energy. But cheap energy.

STEPHEN: Yes.

GLENN: And we had educated cheaper labor. Well, the unions got rid of the labor. The education got rid of the other half. The brain power of labor.

STEPHEN: Yep. Yep.

GLENN: We no longer have cheap energy. In fact, we'll have no energy. And we will not take any mineral out of the ground. You got nothing left.

STEPHEN: And, by the way, if -- and you're exactly right about that. We have more mineral resources. This country was incredibly endowed by God with amazing resources. No other country in the world has --

GLENN: White Christian nationalism.

STEPHEN: Yeah. It's like -- it's like there's a 60 trillion-dollar treasury chest, under this country. And the left is saying, don't. Don't dig it up. Don't dig it up.

And -- and that's insanity. And, by the way, how are you going to -- here's the other thing. These people are so stupid. Or else mendacious. How are you going to get the batteries, and all of the -- the -- the solar panels, and the wind turbines, if you don't have these pretty sure metals?

GLENN: Flying monkeys.

STEPHEN: I mean -- really. I mean, my mind is spinning. I want to pull my hair out of the stupidity of these policies. And I'm going to warn people. We are going to have brownouts and blackouts around this country in the next two or three years. If these insane energy policies go forward. No doubt about it, in my mind.

GLENN: I think you're going to see people start to freeze to death in America. In possibly this winter. Just because they won't be able to afford the energy prices.

STEPHEN: And, by the way, just so people don't think you're exaggerating. Did you see the story of what happened in Spain this week?

GLENN: No. Oh, about 80 degrees.

STEPHEN: Yeah. They want to set -- they want to make it illegal, in Spain, because they have a heat wave going on in Europe. To set the temperature of your air conditioner, at less than 80 degrees. 80 degrees.

And, by the way, if we have the same on energy. On electricity, how are we going to power all these electric vehicles?

GLENN: Yeah. So let me ask you this, Stephen. With what we did with Russia. Could we have avoided -- if -- if Trump were still in, and none of this with Russia would have happened. But if this exact situation was happening. But we kept the same energy policies, as Trump had. Would we -- would Europe be in the trouble that it's in today?

STEPHEN: No. But Europe deserves a lot of the blame for itself. It was Donald Trump, remember, a few years ago. Who waved his finger at -- by the way, one of the most overrated people in the last 100 years, is Angela Merkel. She destroyed Germany. She was TIME magazine's person of the year, five years ago.

And Germany is a complete mess right now, and talk about worshiping false gods. And so you're right. Europe fell into this trap of saying, oh, we're going to go with green energy. And then we'll get our natural gas from Russia.

Russia now -- just as Trump predicted. The -- the western Europeans are now dependent on Russia. And Putin for energy. We should be -- we should be exporting our massive amounts of -- of natural gas. To Europe. They should be dependent on the United States. Not Russia. But that's a decision they made. But now we can't export it. Because we can't produce it here in America right now.

GLENN: I'll tell you, what's really frightening and immoral. Besides all of the out of control government that we're having right now. That we're not living our own laws, Constitution, that the American people are being called terrorists now. Beyond all that. The -- the most immoral thing I have seen our country do since the civil rights era, is -- is clampdown on our farmers. Tell our farmers not to grow. Tell our farmers exactly how they need to farm. Take await fertilizer, which will cut our crop yield about 30 percent. Plus, all of the things that we're doing with energy, right now.

The people that will freeze to death, and starve. All around the world. Because the United States is taking this path, all of the people, that we could save from death, starvation, heat, cold, all of that. It is immoral! Because we're the ones that always come in and rescue people. The world has no one to rescue -- rescue them from this. No one.

GABRIEL: It is immoral. It is immoral. And they add to that. For our State Department. And John Kerry, who is the second dumbest person on the planet. To go around to these Third World countries where they don't -- where they literally don't have, you know, electric power. And the women have to still, you know, go a mile. And carry the jugs of water. You know, back to their village. Then we go to these -- and our State Department is saying, don't build coal plants here. They don't have electric power. They don't have clean water.

You should be worrying about climate change. I mean, climate change is something that people, country clubs in America, who make million dollar salaries worry about.

People in Third World countries, who live day to day in deprivation. You want to help people around the world. Let's get them clean water and secure forms of energy. That will move people out of -- and we're not doing that.

GLENN: I'll tell you, Stephen, I think these guys are Malthusian.

STEPHEN: Yeah.

GLENN: Every death that happens, reduces what they believe is the surplus population.

And -- and helps also, you know, clean the air. You know, we would be much better off, if we didn't have all these people.

And it's an unspoken thing, for -- for most.

But there are those who actually speak those words. And it is -- it's evil, what is happening. It's just evil. Stephen, thank you so much for all your work. And I don't know why we don't have you on more. I really enjoy talking to you. Good talking to you.

STEPHEN: Good talking with you, Glenn.

GLENN: You bet. Buh-bye.

WARNING: This British FAILURE could spread across the Western world

The United Kingdom is now arresting over 12,000 people a year for "speech crimes" and is debating doing away with trial by jury for many crimes. Glenn Beck warns that if this can be done in the birthplace of these principles (under the Magna Carta), it can happen to the entire West if we don't END this insanity now!

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So let me just start here. Because there is -- there is another story that is out in our newsletter today, that talks about how people of college age are freaking out, after Charlie Kirk's death. They don't want anything controversial on campus.

I mean, that's the reason why colleges and universities had protection of free speech, in the first place.

Was to be controversial. To be able to say the things that nobody wants you to say.

And it's really important.

But let me -- let me first remind people of what the Magna Carta is.

It's 1215? The Magna Carta is Latin for the great chart.

Had it not some magnanimous gift from the king.

The king. King John from England. He was -- he was losing a battle. France was just cleaning England's clock.

The baryons and all the lords and the ladies. Said, you know, this king sucks a lot. This king sucks a lot.

And we've got to stop him. Because he's destroying everything.

And he -- he had lost most of the land, to France. And then he started just imposing huge taxes on everybody. And -- and because nobody in the lower class had any -- this all happened with the lords and the ladies. And they were like, enough. Enough. Enough.

You're abusing your royal power.

Well, nobody had ever said that before. That just didn't happen. He had a divine right. He's the king. But in England, they said, no.

You still have to be moral. You have certain laws, and you can't just do these things.

And so what they did, is they got him to agree to the great charter, the Magna Carta. And it placed the king under the law. Before that, the king was the law. So now the king is under the law: It created the principle of due process. Never before did we have that.

You can't be imprisoned, punishment or stripped of property, except by the lawful judgment of your peers or the law of the land. So this creates jury trials. It creates habeas corpus. Protection from arbitrary arrests. All of these things. The government now has to justify itself in a court of law.

That's revolutionary, okay? It also limited taxation without consent. Which we interpreted later as no taxation without representation. Rule of law. Jury trials. Rights of the accused.

Limits on government. Protection of property. Accountability of leaders. All of that comes from the Magna Carta. Okay?

That gave birth, 500 years later, to us and our ideas. Okay?

Now, England, the birthplace of the Magna Carta is now thinking about getting rid of jury trials and arresting more than 12,000 people every year for what they call speech crimes. 12,000!
Now, I want you to think about that.

In Russia, in the same year this stat came out. The latest year that we have, 2023. In 2023, Russia arrested 4,000 people for speech crimes against the Russian military for Ukraine.

4,000 in Russia, 12,000 in England.

The number I saw. We don't have all the numbers. But the number I saw that were arrested for speech crimes in China was 120.

Okay?

Not for violence. Not for theft.

Not for treason.

12,000 in England for words.

Okay. Now, well, that's going on, now the Prime Minister is floating the idea of eliminating, if not most, many jury trials.

It will only be for murder, manslaughter, oh, and something else like that.

Okay?

So, in other words, if you're like, I believe you should be able to read the Bible in your own language, in your own home, Tisdale.

You don't get any hope. You don't get a jury trial. You get the court. You get the king trying you, not a jury of your peers.

This goes against the Magna Carta, the lawful judgment of your peers. Okay?

That's the safeguard that stands between you and an out-of-control state. This is the first and ancient firewall against tyranny. It is what makes England, England.

And if England of all places, tosses that aside, what does the word "free" mean anymore?

Okay? What does it mean? You can't speak, and then you have no jury -- trial of your peers. Wait. What? First of all, understand this: A nation that polices speech is not free!

A nation that dissolves juries is not just unfree, it's prepping for something worse!

Because the entire architecture of the western world, the liberty that we have, rests on a single radical belief.

The truth does not need a king. The truth shall set you free. Who? Is it not what. Who is the truth? Okay.

No king, but Christ. Because Christ is the truth. That's the Western world!

A person's conscience does not need a permit. Speech does not need a bureaucrat's approval before it leaves your lips! That's the West.

That's what built the world. What took it from darkness, to today.

Freedom is not granted we the state. Freedom preexists government.

Government's only legitimate job is to protect it!

Now, here's the dark little secret, that every single tyrant, and every politician knows today. If you control speech, you control thought. If you control thought, you control people.

If you control people, you don't ever have to worry about controlling the government because no one will ever challenge you again!

This is why it is so essential for any side to go, you can't talk to them.

Don't talk to them. Don't listen. Don't question.

You can't hear that. No. They can say whatever they want. But I have a right to refute it. That's why free speech has to be absolute. Not mostly free.

Not free unless it makes Billy over there cry and uncomfortable.

No. I'm sorry, Billy. You don't like it. Refute it.

Freedom that depends on somebody else's freedoms is not freedom!

Freedom that requires government approval is not freedom! Freedom that can be revoked because a bureaucrat doesn't like your tone is not freedom. Once speech becomes conditional, everything become conditional. Your rights, your property, your conscience, your place in society. Because you only live by permission! Never by principle!

We live by principles. Not people!

Who is actually free?

Who is actually free?

The England that once declared the king himself to be subject of law, or the England that now arrests a man because he's posted the wrong meme?

12,000 people!

Can't find one in 2023 that was arrested for that in America. Not one. The England that gave us John Locke, the philosopher of natural rights. Is that person free?

Or the England that now warns citizens that context doesn't matter, if their words cause someone, anyone, emotional harm.

Britain is about loss. But this is not just a British problem. This is the canary in the coal mine for the entire west.

Because these are the people that came up with it. When the mother country forgets its own legacy, jury trials and freedom of speech. When the random that once stared down monarchs now cowers before hashtags and activists and speech tribunals, than somewhere deep inside the Western soul, a light is flickering.

We must remember here, before that same darkness reaches our shores. Because it's already coming on to our beaches. It's already there. There is no such thing as partial liberty. Freedom of speech is the First Amendment for a reason!

It is the guardrail for every other right!

If you lose the First Amendment, you've lost freedom. And if you lose the Second Amendment, you've lost the ability to defend that first freedom.
It's number one for a reason!

You must be allowed to speak, to gather.

To have a free press!

To question your government. You must have those abilities. You must be able to say, especially about government, the worst things about your government! And question them.

And demand answers. To petition them.

That's all in the First Amendment.

It is the pressure valve that prevents so it's from blowing itself up.

The more we contain speech. The more we say, don't talk about. Don't talk about. Can't say that. Can't say that.

The more the pressure builds up. The more likely we blow ourselves up.

It's the mechanism where the powerless can speak to the powerful.

It's the shield that protects dissenters. Unpopular thinkers, prophets, reformers. And, yes, even the offensive.

Look, there are, quote, unquote, historians now who are getting all kinds of bullcrap about Hitler and everything else.

None of that is true. I don't want to silence them. They have a right to say it.

I have a right to say you're wrong! And show you the evidence of what makes them wrong.

That's the way it works. England is about to forget all of this!

They are truly the birthplace of these kinds of ideas, and those ideas led to our idea of real freedom!

No king!

If they forget this, we cannot -- we believe so -- because there won't be anywhere else in the world to go.

The lesson of history, the lesson that history whispers quietly at first. Then louder. And then finally. And we're about at this point, with a scream!

Is that when a state describes which words are allowed, it will eventually decide which thoughts are allowed. Which beliefs are allowed.

Which citizens are allowed.

In the end, in the end, the prisons don't need bars.

The cell will be in your own mind!

Do you understand that, America?
Do your kids understand that?

We don't even know what it means to be free. I thought this weekend, a lot about as opposed to truth shall set you free.

Thought about a lot. In fact, maybe I'll talk to you about it in a minute or so.

Because I don't think people understand what it means to be free.

We think everybody in the world is free. They're not!

And you're about to really find that out!

You want to be tree, or do you want to be safe? Because you cannot have both.

When safety is defined by those who fear your liberty. It's over!

We used to be people who would explore. We were people that crossed the oceans when everyone said we couldn't. We -- we went to space when everyone said, it's impossible. We crossed mountains that no one had ever crossed. We forged -- we forged a nation of really different people. And lived side by side for so long, yes. With bloodshed from time to time. But generally, in ways that nobody had ever done before. Freedom. Freedom is grand. But it's really dangerous. It's messy. Freedom offends you, a lot. Get over it.

Real freedom, real freedom is the only thing that has ever allowed the human spirit to rise above a king. Above a tyrant. Above the mob. Above the bureaucrats. Real freedom that belongs to you. Given to you by God. And that's what they're about to lose in England. The Magna Carta. The simple idea. No man. Not even a king. No man is above the law. Do we have that here?

Do you think no man is above the law? Or do you think there is a class up in the political range, somewhere, that if you're on the right side, don't worry about jail. That's what the Magna Carta tried to stop. That's what we have forgotten even, and they're about to get rid of it entirely.

The modern west is drifting into far more -- far more sinister creed. No man is above offense.

And that is how civilizations fall.

Puttin' the Christ Back in Christmas (Lyric Video)

This song was produced by Glenn Beck using his AI tools.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Well, the season's here, and the lights are bright, but they tell me, I can't say Merry Christmas tonight.

They want RamaHanuKwanzMas all in one breath.

Buddy, that phrase is gonna bore me to death.

So, grab some Coco. Let's reclaim this place.

It's the birthday of the baby.

Yeah, remember who that is.

Chorus:

So, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

No microaggression here.

My friend, if words can break you, I'll bless your heart, because that's a battle we can't defend.

Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

Let common sense unfold. Out with the new, in with the old.

Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.

Verse 2:

And hey baby, it's cold outside, relax.

It's flirting, not a federal crime.

We used to laugh and dance in snow.

Now they fact-check mistletoe.

They say intent don't matter.

Well, sure it does, ask Santa.

He's judging hearts, not Twitter buzz.

Chorus:

So I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

You can keep your outrage warm.

If every jingle is problematic, buddy, that's the real snowstorm.

Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

Not buying what they sold.

Out with the new, in with the old.

Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.

Bridge:

They say that greeting is oppressive.

Well, bless my soul.

Who knew if Merry Christmas makes you tremble, the problem ain't the phrase, it's you.

I'll question with boldness. I'll reason with grace, but don't rewrite my holiday to make it a safe space.

So, here's to the manger.

The star in the sky.

The angels who sang up that holy night.

Here's to the story that still brings hope

Even when cultures lost the remote.

Raise your voice, let the bells all ring.

This season was always about one king.

Chorus:

Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

Let the real good news unfold.

The world may chase the wrapping paper, but the manger holds the gold.

So, I put the Christ back in Christmas from the young to the gray and old.

Out with the new, in with the old.

Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.

Is Europe’s Future ALREADY Decided... Or is a Civil War Coming?

Europe’s future isn’t being shaped by politics or ideology... it’s being shaped by math. Glenn Beck and UK insider Peter McIlvenna break down the explosive demographic shift transforming Britain and Europe, where Muslim population growth has surged 111% in 15 years while native birthrates continue to collapse. The result is a predictable, unstoppable replacement of cultural and political power, created not by conquest but by birthrates and the West’s loss of confidence in its own heritage. And the same demographic pattern is now emerging in the United States.

Sharia Courts & Demographic Takeover - America's Growing Problem with Political Islam

Political Islam is expanding into the West through demographic pressure, parallel legal systems, exclusive community structures, and a belief that Western nations are too naïve to stop it — and Glenn Beck breaks down the evidence. From Marco Rubio’s warning that Islamic political movements openly seek dominance over the United States, to a Texas developer boasting about “manipulating kafirs,” to archived footage of imams defending Sharia punishments on American soil, the signs are no longer subtle. Many Muslims reject political Islam and flee from these systems — but by ignoring what is happening in our own backyard, America risks repeating Europe’s collapse. The question isn’t whether Political Islam exists; it’s whether we’re willing to confront what it demands.

GLENN: Let me start first. Interview yesterday with Sean Hannity. Here's Rubio, talking about the dangers of radicalized Islam.

VOICE: Ultimately, armed radical Islamic movements in the world, identify the West at large, but the United States in particular, as the greatest evil on earth. And every chance they have -- the notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable with simple controls and progress in Iraq and Syria is not born out by history.

Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world and be happy with their own little caliphate. They want to expand. It's revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people. And radical Islam has designs openly on the West, on the United States, on Europe. We've seen that for the rest there as well, and they are prepared to conduct acts of terrorism. In the case of Iran, nation state actions, assassinations, murders, you name it.

Whatever it takes for them to gain their influence, and ultimately, their domination in different cultures and societies.

That's a clear and eminent threat to the world and to the broader west, especially to the United States who they identify as the chief source of evil on the planet. Okay?

The reason why they hate the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the leadership of the UAE and Bahrain, is because they've allowed the United States to partner with them. That's why they hate them. They consider them infidels for it. They hate Israel.

But they also hate America. And they hate anyone in the world, that we have influence, they seek to attack, including here in the homeland.

If you look at the domestic terrorists, the attacks that have happened here domestically, the overwhelming majority of them have been inspired by radical Islamic viewpoints. That includes the shooting in the Pulse Night Club in Orlando, Florida. That includes the Saudi pilot in Pensacola, my home state. Two attacks.

GLENN: Okay.

So I -- I would like to propose we stop calling it radical Islam. Because it's not radical Islam. It's political Islam. There is religious Islam, and I know a lot of religious Muslims that are good people. Okay? I don't put them in the same category because I don't want Sharia law.

That's political Islam. It's not radical. It's what happens all over the world.

It's not radical, it's political.

You remember, if you're my age. When the wall came down. And we finally got to converse with Russians.

And we always thought -- me growing up. I always thought the Russians.

It's Vladimir. Vladimir. Look, he's spying.

Natasha. He's spying.

Okay. That's what we thought when we were kids.

That's not who the Russians were. The Russians were good people. They were decent people.

They wanted the same kind of things we wanted. We don't agree on everything.

They want to be left alone. Raise their kids. Have a chance at some success and retirement.

Just leave me alone.

Most of us are like that. What happens is, our politicians get in the way. The politicians. The political systems are the ones that are the problem. We don't call it radicalized communism.
It's communism. Okay? It's a political philosophy.
This is a political philosophy.

Political Islam -- it's not radical.

It's just a political philosophy, and that political philosophy, just like communism, wants to dominate the world. Unlike communism, political Islam is so incredibly arrogant. It's inevitable to them. Why? Birthrates.

That's why! Birthrates. And they think we're stupid. And, you know what, so do I! I think we're stupid too. Come on, man. Right? Are we not stupid? We look over at Europe. Are the grand Europeans, that colonized the whole world and are abusing everyone, because they're so sophisticated and so powerful, and everything else. Really are they?

Because look at how dumb they are being right now with their own countries in Europe. They're committing suicide. And so are we.

Now, there's this development that is happening in Texas. Let me -- let me give you an interview, a piece of an interview done by a Muslim developer, of Muslim communities, and -- and how -- and how it actually works.

Listen to these 35 seconds of this interview.

VOICE: The way -- like, you can't make it exclusive, like non-Muslims are not allowed. What we're doing, there's something called a secession fee. I don't know what it's called in Dubai. Like your maintenance fee -- the service fee, to cut the grass, to remove the snow, and whatnot. So that service fee will put that 75 percent of the service fee you're paying, close to (another language).

VOICE: Automatically, if you are a practicing Christian, I would advise you, why help the Muslims? You know. They do their own thing.

Right? So this is the way we're going to put the costs, and our attorney already put it in there.

GLENN: This is the way they manipulate the kafirs. The kafirs are you. The non-Muslim people. The infidels.

And they -- they are manipulating. Because, ha, ha, ha. And why would you do that? That's how they make it an exclusive Muslim community. Okay. And what do you get in those Muslim communities? I want to take you back to 2015.
I had been in Irving, Texas. My studios are in Irving, Texas. And I had been there for maybe three years. And it is the most diverse ZIP code in all of America. Which is a great thing. Except, it's also becoming very, very Islamic.

And that is totally fine, as long as we're not talking political Islam.

Unfortunately, we are. And the religion teaches that you can lie, to an infidel. You can lie if it helps Islam.

Okay.

So I had a couple of imams from the Dallas area, come in, from -- from, you know, where all of this is happening. And I just -- I sat them down. And we just had a great conversation.

I want you to listen to this, what finally came out of the mouth of one of the imams. Listen to this.

VOICE: I'm here. I'm sorry to say, back to the first point. I'm here to discuss an issue with the Islamic Tribunal.

So please, don't -- allow us to have a situation. Maybe, we are ready for any discussion.

VOICE: No. I know that.

VOICE: We are ready for any point to lead the discussion. But the main point here, we are -- the reason we are here to discuss this issue. What kind of cases, Islam tribunal have.

And we start with the Sharia.

And why the people are afraid from Sharia.

I'm sorry to say, at one point related to this.

It's not just in Sharia law. Not just in Islamic law. It's everywhere.

Who said that just in Islamic law?

That's even Sharia, in Jewish Sharia, in Christian Sharia. In America here, we cut -- we -- we -- we cut it for some reason. So I'm asking you an easy question.

If anyone kill another, he should have got killed by a law, by Islamic law, by -- by -- by governor. By -- he should have got killed.

What is wrong with that?

If a thief, jump to go back house. Scare your wife. Scare your children. Scare your neighbor.

And they did that with our stores, this is the law. The law to cut his head.

Because if he feels my hands were cut because of that. He will think about this 100 times. He will never do it.

And if you do that one time, they will never do it again.

Look at how many millions of dollars Americans here or other states or other -- outside has been for the -- to keep, the criminal in -- in jail. A lot of millions of -- we can see that just -- that's it. Because he did something good in the whole community. And they scare the whole community.

Why not. Back please to the point. Islamic tribunal.

Yes. We never deal with anything of that. We don't have authority for that. We don't have power for that.

GLENN: But you're okay. You seem to be okay with that. If you had the power for that happen.

No. You don't --

JASON: Absolutely not. Absolutely not. We -- as imam said, we have system. We are very organized people.

GLENN: Right.

VOICE: Sorry, for this example. Somebody can -- might add. I should have killed him.

GLENN: Right.

VOICE: I had to take this case to the judge, and the judge have to -- to the governor. There's a system, a procedure, that I have to follow.

So it's not like this -- this guy gets killed. No, no. We have -- I -- I give you just an easy example for leader. This is after prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him. He sent one to Yemen. And he told him, before he leaves, he ask him, almost as a habit. What did you do if the people bring a thief for you?

He said, I will cut his hand. Okay. He said, you do that. Okay. He said, after -- after -- he said, okay. If one person came with me, without work, and I blew it. And I blew it. I will cut your head. Because he has no job. So he -- if you run from the sword or grab something from here, to eat. Nothing happened to you. So but if you have your job and enough income, and you took -- a bunch of children and you have house and you have car. And you -- or a thief from here or there. So this is the law. Not to please, the point with Sharia. I ask people. We are not here to do that at all.

It is not our authority. It's not our power. It's not our job. We have --

GLENN: You've got to stop. You've got to stop. Okay. This is amazing to me. Because you hear how passionate he is, about how logical that is. Okay? I mean, you just have to do it, it just makes sense to everybody, we just cut your hands off.

And the Prophet Muhammad, peace upon him, and he he's preached this forever. I mean, it just works. It just works.

Of course, we wouldn't want to do that. But it just works. I mean, let me tell you about it again. Really?

Really? You don't want that to happen. Because you're in the United States, but you're cool with it everywhere else. Everywhere else.

But here it's different!

But my religion, which requires me to say, peace upon him, after I mention the prophet Muhammad, my religion, which is extraordinarily well-defined.

It has these raise. In political Islam.

That must be done. Because the Koran requires it, in political Islam.

But we're not going -- yeah. We've got our own little laws going on now.

We have our courts.

Who we're never going to go that far. Wait. Wait. You believe in political Islam? Of course I do. But you're not going to do it?

Of course not. But the Koran commands you to do it?

Of course it does.

You follow every dictate in the Koran? Of course I do.

But not that one? Come on. Come on. Does anybody really believe that?

Now, that does not mean Muslims believe that. Many do. Many do not. The ones who do not are the ones who have lived under it, and have escaped here. And want a different kind of Islam.

And by just turning a blind eye to this, because they know how it happens. They saw it in their company. They don't want it happening here.

You know, we just take care of things like marriages. Oh, so when a guy says, I divorce you. I divorce you. I divorce you. You're divorced, and she loses everything. Oh, you mean the kind, if she wants to testify against her husband on adultery, she has to have two witnesses, plus her, because her voice and one other person as a witness does not equal him, because she's not equal to a man. Oh. Okay. All right.

But you have that one. And that's okay. No. It's not okay. It's not okay.

It shouldn't be okay in any western country, period. Should not be okay.

Unfortunately, we're all turning a blind eye to it.
