Why is California SURPRISED its electrical grid may FAIL?!

On Friday, Reuters reported that California officials are warning residents that the state’s electrical grid may ‘lack sufficient capacity’ during the summer, especially if something ‘extreme’ — like a forest fire — occurs (which, Glenn explains, shouldn’t really be unexpected at this point). President Biden has been destroying America’s energy supply ever since he entered the White House, and far-left politicians in California have been doing the same to their state long before. So, is California REALLY surprised it’s now facing electrical and energy problems...?

GLENN: I'm speculating that that may be a society -- you know, this -- and it is the response here is, first of all, chaotic.

You know, I said, back when I was on Fox. The key word to really pay attentional to, in the coming times, when this stuff starts to happen, will be chaos.

Chaos. When there is chaos, that is -- we know who the author of chaos is.

And everywhere, you are seeing the seeds of chaos. You're seeing it at the border.

You're seeing it last night. In front of the Supreme Court. This isn't, hey, let's do things the right way. Let's even just wait for an opinion. I would be -- I would be just as angry, at the right, if they had released this opinion.

Now, it may turn out that they did. I highly doubt it. But we don't know who did it.

But this is the way the left works. And this isn't about abortion. That's what is so crazy. They are using women, and abortion. To pack the courts. Get rid of the filibuster. And to take the country over.

STU: They want the whole thing.

GLENN: And they will burn it down, if they don't get it.

STU: I think they believe, there's going to be enough of a reaction to this. They can convince them, that this is the Handmaid's Tale. That they might be able to pull off a bigger power grab. Right? Where they can pack the court. Where they can do all sorts of things, to manipulate our system and our society.

And it's not impossible, they're right on that. Look, abortion, generally speaking is not particularly popular. It's divisive, at the general level. Right?

Where if you say pro-choice. Pro-life. It's just generally a divisive issue. Where partisan rules apply. But the actual -- when you go into it, the actual debate is not really much of a debate.

You know, the Republican position is illegal in most cases. Not -- not for -- there's exceptions for rape and incest. Again, we can get into those things. But that's the Republican position. That's where this battlefield has been drawn for a long time. And the Democratic position, is basically, as we've seen from representative after representative, candidate after candidate, to my recollection, none or maybe only one of the Democratic candidates would actually put a date.

GLENN: I know.

STU: Which was usually a third trimester, to give you just a sense of the polling on this.

The American people do agree, that generally speaking, that there should be abortion available to potential parents. Parents, in the -- to moms. If you can define what a woman is. In the first three months. First trimester. It is overwhelmingly unpopular, every second after that.

Only 15 percent -- 15 percent believe abortion should be legal, in all cases, in the second trimester. Only 15 percent.

Only 8 percent of Americans believe it should be legal in the third trimester. All the time.

GLENN: It shows you who is running the Democratic Party. And who is running California.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: They're talking about now, up to 30 days after birth. In California.

STU: It's incredible. And illegal in most cases, is only 19 percent third trimester. And 34 percent second trimester. These are not close calls. This is one of -- in some ways, third trimester abortion is one of the most uniting things in our public discourse.

GLENN: Yeah. That and voting rights.

STU: People oppose it.

GLENN: Voter ID. Those things are very uniting in America. But they just require common sense. And that's not what you're getting. I mean, I was watching the news early this morning, and I'm hearing these stories, that have absolutely no connection to reality. At all.

And you think, are you that stupid?

And I think the answer is, yeah. I think there's a lot of Americans, that are that stupid.

They are just people who watch the news. NBC. Good. CNN, truth-tellers. And they just watch it. And they just swallow the garbage.

I think there are those people that are that stupid. I think there are those people, that are that conspiratorial. That, you know, watch, man didn't walk on moon.

Gay frogs did. And they just -- you know, they swallow it too. Which one are you?

I have to tell you, I think this is actually a very good thing.

In -- in many ways.

I know that it is going to make California, New York. If indeed this comes outed, and they say, yes. This is the decision.

It's going to make California and New York, go crazy.

And all of the lefty states will go crazy.

California now is talking about taking tax dollars. And flying people into the state. So they can have abortions.

You know, if I'm in California. And I've been on the fence. You know, jeez, I really like it here. Or my family is here. Or whatever it is.

I think this is going to be one of those things, that push you over the edge.

And I think the states are going to do what federalism really kind of encourages. And that is, you know what, you do your thing. Where you are. And we'll do our thing, where we are. And leave each other alone.

I think this is going to be -- this is going to self-sort people. Because I couldn't live in California now for many reasons. I couldn't before. But if you're talking about doing abortion. Thirty days after a child is born.

And you're talking about flying people in, with tax dollars. I'm pretty sure, we're going to slide into the ocean.

I mean, I just think, we will be destroyed. That's what I would be thinking as a Californian. You know what I mean?

Yeah. We're on the wrong side here.

And just to play it safe. Maybe I'm agnostic. But if there is a God, he's going to stop this from going on. And I think the sides are going to become very, very clear.

Which is what I wanted, from the beginning, honestly. I wanted a debate, with, you know, Michael Lee or Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders.

Let's just put it out in the open. Those are the two choices. We're either going to leave each other alone, and be a country of -- of Federalist laws, and a Constitution. Or we're going to change into something Marxist.

Which one? Which one do you want, America?

And, you know, I think half the country, maybe 40 percent would pick, you know, let's try this new thing. Marxism. Like it's new.

We'll try this new thing. I think only about maybe 15 percent really know what that mean -- what that means. And what the effects would be, and really wanted.

You know, but you get a lot of people going along with it. Just because. Something new. You know, let's try it. It's fresh.

And I think the rest of the people are like, I can't live with -- I can't do it anymore.

I mean, I want to -- I wrote this right before I went on the air. Just making some notes on the thing.

And I -- it was a note to myself.

Just remember, this is a very important story, but the whole thing is about distracting you.

We are almost in a war with Russia. And I think we are going there. I hope to God, we're not. But war with Russia. We are going to war in the streets.

We have a war, being waged right now, on our republic. They are going to be talking about court packing. And getting rid of the filibuster. They're already talking about ESG. The Great Reset. Getting rid of capitalism. As we know it.

There's a war on the vote, and voter integrity.

There's a -- a war on truth, with gender. All of this stuff. No. Men can have a baby. Well, if men can have a baby, then I guess I have a place at the table, to talk about abortion. Right?

Because I'm a man. And you just said, I could have a baby. There's no such thing as a gender. So I guess I can understand this too.

There's a war on truth, with the DHS, and the disinformation board.

The ministry of truth. You think they're actually looking for the truth?

No. There's a war on your dollar.

To get you to not own anything. And like it. War on inflation. War on energy. War on our children. War on our schools. War for our families.

America, you need to understand, and shake off the, oh, well, it's -- it will fix itself. It will right itself. I wonder what will happen next. You're at war. It's not a shooting war. God forbid it ever does, but you are at war. Which side are you on?

Exposed: Obama-Biden Judges’ Shocking Coup to Sabotage Trump’s Agenda

There is a judicial coup happening against President Trump, Glenn argues. Glenn exposes the activist Obama and Biden-era judges who are conducting a full-scale, coordinated assault against the mandate that the American people gave Trump. There’s Judge James Boasberg, who tried to stop Trump from deporting illegal immigrant criminals. Then, there’s Judge Ana Reyes, who halted Trump’s trans ban in the military (and who also has a long history of donating to Democrats). Also fighting Trump are judges Theodore Chang and Amir Ali, who are trying to reverse Trump’s dismantling of USAID. This isn’t normal “checks and balances.” This is left-wing judges using lawfare to play president and fight the dismantling of the deep state.

How Sage Steele Overcame Fear and Beat Disney

Former ESPN host Sage Steele joins Glenn to tell the incredible story of how she overcame fear, fought Disney for canceling her, and won: “It’s all God.” When she put her trust in Him, she says, her fear went away. “It was smarter to stay quiet...But, God, it feels good to be true to myself.”

Is the EU Plotting to “SABOTAGE” Trump? Heritage Foundation President Sounds Warning

Are European Union elites working to “sabotage” President Trump’s plans for the West? Glenn speaks with Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, who makes the case that Trump is trying to reset the West and stop the “managed decline” of the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. But many European leaders are so embedded into that old system that they won’t go down without a fight. Glenn and Kevin also discuss Trump’s negotiations with Mexico and Canada, whether former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss was right to call Britain a “failed state,” and why Kevin believes Trump’s cabinet, JD Vance, and one other thing are Trump’s biggest wins.

Tim Kennedy Unveils Grim Truth: World Instability and Christian Killings Surge

Former U.S. Army Special Forces Sniper Tim Kennedy joins Glenn to warn that “real instability” is coming across many parts of the world, including the Middle East, Haiti, Congo, and other parts of Africa. And one of the main signs of this is “the killing of Christians” at high levels in those regions. With a civil war brewing in Afghanistan, “genocide” level attacks in regions of Africa, and more trouble on the horizon, predictive models have found that things could very likely boil over soon. But Kennedy details how the Trump administration, especially Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi, are working overtime to “get ahead of what we know is coming” and keep Americans safe.

GLENN: We're talking to Tim Kennedy. Talking to the president about the border, and what's going on with the border this week. And I said, you know, if I were, you know, a Mexican citizen. And knowing that my government was in bed with the cartels. I would be hoping that some special forces just showed up in the middle of the night. And started killing people. In these cartels. And I said, well, that would be news breaking if I said that was a good idea.

You know, I hope it doesn't come to that. It was clear, that that is on the table. I mean, that really has to happen. Does it not?

I mean, that is a collapsed narco state in Mexico. Isn't it?

MATT: Yeah, we -- the rules of war that we'll be experiencing for the next five to ten years are not the traditional maneuver warfare that people remember from Korea and from Vietnam, and from even -- you know, we know who our enemy is. These are going to be businesses.

These are syndicated criminal organizations, that do not fight fair, and the cartel owns both the businesses, the corporations, and the criminal networks that are involved in that.

So, yes. It's absolutely on the table. And a group of people that are sitting on like the go button, are absolute savages, Mr. Beck.

GLENN: They are. I know some of them. I know some of them.

And they're just like -- and they're just -- they're just champing at the bit to go, I know. I know.

TIM: That's the truth.

We're in conversation with the cartels right now. And the cartels are saying, hey, we don't want to die. We don't want to be wiped off the face of the planet, which we know is not going to happen. So, you know, are there other options. Hey, what if we stopped human trafficking?

What if we stopped fentanyl production entirely?

What if -- what if all of that just goes away. What if we stop and seal the border on the south side. What are you -- will we maybe be allowed to transport some cocaine and some marijuana?

I'm totally fine with this. If we stop fentanyl. Human trafficking. Gun smuggling. And we stop the invasion of our border, I'll -- and we don't have to do a while bunch of killing.

You know, whatever.

But they know they're on the brink of --

GLENN: I hope they do.

TIM: Of existence.

GLENN: I hope they do.

You know, when you look at what's happening here.

And what they're bringing over here.

I mean, it has to stop, dead in its tracks.

It has to stop.

And it has to stop soon. The president is dealing with these courts. Which I just think is judicial insurrection as Mike Lee puts it. And it has to stop.

The president has to protect our borders, and has to protect our cities. This is -- you know, this is the opium wars, done to China by the English.

You know, 200 years ago. 150 years ago. And now they're doing it to us.

That's what -- that's what is happening.

TIM: Yeah.

GLENN: Tell me about the Christians and genocide, that you believe is on the horizon.

TIM: Just yesterday.

Back at the White House yesterday.

Listening to some brief about -- there's some brilliant companies that are able to do predictive modeling.

Using literally every public and classified source of information.

And there's these events that are pretty predictable.

You know, they predicted what would happen in Afghanistan. Predicted what would happen in Ukraine.

They see regionally that on the very near horizon, as soon as like late summer.

We are going to see real instability throughout CENTCOM and the Endo-Pacific region.
And some of those things -- some of the catalysts that are -- the data points are what are the killing of Christians.

And it's happening all over CENTCOM.

And --

GLENN: Explain CENTCOM. Explain CENTCOM for anybody who doesn't what CENTCOM means. Explain that.

TIM: Just imagine the Middle East starting kind of in north Africa.

And western Asia. And everything that has lots of deserts. And lots of Muslim countries -- just -- by coincidence, there's also Israel. That's in CENTCOM.

One of the few non-Muslim democracies, in that whole entire region.

Ask, you know, the Houthis and Hamas. And Hezbollah.

And then in former countries, like in Syria and Iraq, Afghanistan, those places, it's just a massacre of Christians, right now.

GLENN: So let me take a one-minute break.

Come back, because I want to talk to you more about that. Because you've been involved. We've been with you with Mercury One, and trying to help. And I know what we're gearing up for.

And I want to see if there's anything that you need and you would recommend, besides told prayers for Christians.

And I want to go deeper into what this predictive model is showing in just a second.

First, let me tell you about Preborn.

You know, if you were in the room with a woman who was thinking about giving up her baby.

What would you say?

If a scared young woman looked you in the eye and said, I don't think I could do this.

I'm alone. I don't know if it's really a baby yet.

What would you do?

Would you yell at her? Would you say, you can't do that! You'll go to hell.

Or would you tell her, you're strong enough. You are. Show her pictures of your kids maybe. Talk about miracles?

Talk about God? Talk about anything?

Anything. We're here for you. Would you just wait.

None of us would show her pictures of an aborted baby. None of us would yell at her.

Okay? The truth is, we'll never be in that room. Most of us. But Preborn will not be in that room. They don't argue or shame.

They do something really simple. It turns out, it's very persuasive. Just offer her a free ultrasound. And when she hears that tiny heartbeat. When she sees the image on the screen, everything changes. More than half the time the mom chooses life, the rest of the time, she's like, I -- I just -- I'm alone. I can't afford.

And that's where they come in, after that. They take care of mom. This saves two lives. This saves the life of torture for that woman, and the baby's life.

Please, donate your best gift today.

Go to #250. Say the key word baby for Preborn. It's #250. Key word baby. You know, just a few bucks pays for an ultrasound, and it just changes lives. Saves lives. Preborn.com/Beck. Sponsored by he Preborn. Preborn.com/Beck. Ten-second station ID.

GLENN: So, Tim, maybe we'll have you on -- we're doing a big benefit for the Nazarene Fund.

This fall.

I don't even have details on it. I just heard about it yesterday.

What that is, we go and rescue Christians. Or we pay and help people like you, go rescue Christians.

We just empower people like you, to help.

I would love to invite to that. When we get closer, I will.

Tell me about this predictive model. Why is it saying that it's going to get so bad? What's coming our way?

TIM: Yeah.

The Nazarene Fund, and Mercury One, just for -- love you guys.

I don't -- you know, we publicly can't say a lot of the things that we do at save our allies.

But none of it is possible without you, quite frankly.

Like if you look at me, and our team in Afghanistan. Or in Ukraine. Providing humanitarian aid. And pulling people out of the war zones.

Although to the Far East, as far as I possibly can get in far Russia.

Every place that we have been, has been because of you, quite frankly. Mr. Beck.

GLENN: Please. Stop calling me Mr. Beck.

Give credit. This audience is so gracious. They are so gracious.

TIM: Yeah. They just have an understanding.

Samaritan purse. Mercury One. Nazarene Fund.

We see you guys every single place, in the worst, most dire condition. So, you know, Glenn, thank you so much.

To your question, you know, we are -- if you just look in the past month, you know, you can look to Syria. You can look to the -- next to our bill.

You can look to the Congo.

Where you see thousands of Christians being killed.

You see Muslim converts, that were being specifically targeted. Down in Congo just last week.
Another 29 Christians were killed. In 2025, in like the region in Syria. There was like this region of violence. Another thousand were killed.

And so if you take -- if we're going to look for similar areas in the region, and try to predict the instability of a particular administration or government.

There's a whole bunch of -- and we can take historical data from the past 50 years. And start looking at, okay.

Economically, what is happening for instability?

What is happening culturally?

What is happening on -- in the markets?

What's happening in like -- really clear data points. And we have this bell curve of what's normal. And then you have these outliers that are -- that then keep occurring, every time there's a coup. Or every time there's genocide.

Or every time -- and there's enough data now, where we -- especially with AI. And we can scrape all of history.

We can then very accurately start, you know -- all the special operations side. I'm trying to find somebody in space and time.

It's -- that's -- used to be a difficult thing, to predict where a human is going to be.

So I could maybe bring them to justice, and if we look at the first 95 days of the president in office, and our intelligence community specifically, that told them they're going to work. With, you know, Kash Patel, enabling them. Pam Bondi.
45 Americans that have been illegally detained abroad brought home.

You know, we're knocking on the door of 100 radical terrorists, want to do harm to Americans. Dead.

And we are trying to get ahead of what we know is coming. Which is, complete near Civil War in Afghanistan.

Trying to get stability in Congo -- obviously, we see what's happening in Haiti.

And every time one of these places starts becoming less secure and stable, that is the breeding ground for radical adversarial groups, that are funded by our adversaries, like and mine Iran.

To then conduct attacks on Americans.

But they're not doing it direct.

It's like via proxy.

But Haiti, if we don't pay attention to it, China will use it.

Congo will --

GLENN: Yeah, I know.

TIM: And it just keeps happening.

GLENN: Tim, I can't thank you enough for what you do. You're really a remarkable man. It was such an honor to see you at the White House.

And as usual, see you at the White House and you're serving. Serving veterans.

So thank you for everything, Tim.

God bless you.

TIM: Yeah, you're amazing. Always in your corner. Let me know what you need.

GLENN: You've got it. Thank you, Tim Kennedy. US Army Special Forces. He's a sniper. Former UFC fighter, and really a servant to our vets.

Next year, it's going to be a tough year. All the way around us the world.

It's going to be very tough. What he's saying, is coming.

I -- you know, people say, I think Donald Trump will say for a reason, to save the republic. I'm not sure, that we understand God's mind.

It may have just been to postpone and give us more time to prepare. I'm not sure.

I hope we save the republic. But it might be time to prepare. Because things are very, very dicey in the world, and we just need to be prayerful.

Thoughtful. Jesus-like people.
