Glenn Beck is in Charlotte, North Carolina this weekend, and he s here to talk about it. He also talks about his new wife's new husband, Travis Kelsey, and why he thinks he s going to be a great NFL player.
00:05:34.180And I'm going to – it's going to – the Charlotte story is going to take you all the way to the Nepal story that just happened yesterday.
00:05:41.340And then I'm going to give you some exit ramps.
00:05:46.240But first, let me start with, I got that white girl.
00:05:51.420That apparently is what the killer said on that Charlotte train where he killed Irina Zarutska.
00:06:00.100She was an immigrant, came from Ukraine, wanted a better life, came, settled here in the Carolinas, thinking America was a much safer place than the war zone.
00:06:14.340And a guy who has been in front of a judge 14 different times, 14 different times, still walking the streets.
00:06:23.640He sits behind her and for no apparent reason, just slits her throat.
00:06:29.000If you happen to be watching the blaze, I'm going to play it for a reason.
00:06:32.820I haven't played this whole video yet, but I want to play it because there's a reason to see all of it.
00:06:41.100So let me go ahead and – can we roll cut seven, please?
00:06:47.600Here she is, sitting on a train with a killer right behind.
00:06:50.700And he stands up, grabs his knife, and just rakes it across her throat.
00:48:07.660It's a natural sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor, and it's designed to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and actually feel good in the morning.
00:48:37.840Call 1-800-4-RELIEF-800, the number 4, RELIEF.
00:48:45.340So, I wrote a document because I am trying to explain to my staff, to myself, so I can then translate this on what the torch really is.
00:48:59.820Because the torch is something that I'm starting in January.
00:49:02.600It is a pretty massive move in my career, and it's gangly.
00:49:13.840It has so many different arms to it, but they're all pulling in the same direction.
00:49:18.800And part of that is to expose the truth, and that's in current events, and that's what this show is for, to expose what's really going on, to help you understand not only what happened yesterday, but what it means, what's coming over the horizon tomorrow, and what to do about it today.
00:49:39.800And to hold people, to hold a record of what has happened, because that's one of the other arms of the torch, is history.
00:49:53.340And when we think of history, we think of history, you know, the old dusty powder wig kind of history.
00:50:02.300What happened in Charlotte is now part of American history.
00:50:06.060And you have to know history to be able to see what happened to a society, what happened to this civilization, and how do we get back if we choose to get back.
00:50:17.040So I wrote something a couple of months ago, and I want to share it with you.
00:50:23.540It was our principles of truth and duty.
00:50:27.900And this was something that I wrote for my staff.
00:50:31.120But I think it applies to everybody, you know, that cares to heed the warning.
00:50:37.420There comes a time in the life of a nation, a people, or even a single soul, when silence becomes betrayal.
00:50:43.980Not because silence itself is evil, but because it allows evil to metastasize.
00:50:50.520When the foundations of liberty are under assault through lies, miseducation, bureaucratic rot, or quiet erosion of conscience,
00:50:58.840it becomes not just advisable, but incumbent upon us to act.
00:51:04.980This is not meant to be a call to arms.
00:51:08.020This is a call to accounting, a call to record, to expose, to resist the machinery of falsehood with clarity, with courage, and a relentless commitment to the truth.
00:51:26.040Now, again, this was meant for internal use, but I think this is all of our duty.
00:51:30.920We have an urgent obligation to gather, organize, and preserve every fact, every document, every statement, and record, record this, put it on the record.
00:51:47.380Anything that reveals how truth has been suppressed and freedom distorted.
00:51:51.800Because tyranny rarely kicks down the front door, it seeps through the cracks.
00:51:57.680Rewritten textbooks, judicial overreach, regulatory capture, and a media more loyal to narrative than fact.
00:52:05.520Our mission is to leave no stone unturned.
00:52:09.520We must collect evidence from those who have been silenced.
00:52:13.600The whistleblowers, the scholars, the citizens.
00:52:16.240We must document the abuses in education, religion, politics, and the press.
00:52:22.580We must preserve the testimonies of those who still remember what America was meant to be,
00:52:29.120so that the record can't be altered by those who wish to remake it in their image.
00:52:35.320This is a stewardship, not of history alone, but of memory.
00:52:41.780To give people information is no longer enough.
00:52:53.640Collecting information is no longer enough.
00:52:57.640Truth locked in a drawer is no different from truth that never existed.
00:53:02.120Our task is to make the darkness visible, to shine a light on it so intensely that no rational mind can deny what it sees.
01:13:58.840These are also Western democracies that are now toying with authoritarian kind of concepts and instincts.
01:14:07.680All what happened in Nepal rhymes with stuff that is happening in the West.
01:14:13.040And there's a revolutionary mood here in the United States as well.
01:14:16.420And it is driven by young people who feel robbed by opportunity, people who are tired of corruption, sick of the elites telling them to shut up while the powerful play a different set of rules, like they're playing a different game entirely.
01:14:31.840And it's also revolutionary, actual revolutionaries who have wanted to overthrow this government for a long time inside our own homes now, inside our universities, inside the House of Representatives and Congress and the administration.
01:14:52.900They're revolutionaries that want to topple us.
01:17:04.660So I was thinking about this yesterday and thinking about what is so possible here in America and what we can do as a people, what our government needs to do.
01:19:08.320If you're a country where you need soldiers on the streets, you're a country in trouble.
01:19:12.360When you put soldiers on the streets like they are in England right now, we're a long way away from this, thank God.
01:19:20.900But they're putting soldiers on the streets to silence people.
01:19:25.400When there's curfews, when there's a shutdown, any attempt to control the narrative, that screams that the government is afraid of its own people.
01:19:35.740That's what's happening in Europe and in England.
01:19:40.880They need to silence the people who believe in England, who are English, because they are terrified that they can be toppled.
01:19:50.960If that truth gets out, if that picks up, they'll be toppled.
01:20:02.220So those are the things our government should do.
01:20:08.700The things that we should do do not be provoked into violence.
01:20:12.740This is something I've been saying this forever, but today it's kind of a theme on the show because I think that's another reason why the press is not covering Charlotte.
01:20:22.240They know that you're getting more and more angry by this.
01:20:25.860Every time they publish something like, oh, it's the racist white people.
01:20:29.580Look, they're just against black people killing people in trains.
01:20:32.800Yeah, I'm against everybody killing everybody on trains.
01:20:35.520And that they know by airing those things, it does a couple of things.
01:20:43.220It makes their clicks go up and it increases the temperature in the country.
01:20:49.800And there are too many people that want the temperature to be raised.
01:22:39.140Wives without husbands, kids who grew up without dads, first responders who ran towards the fire and never came home.
01:22:44.460This is why Tunnel to Towers was founded, to honor that sacrifice, and they do it by taking care of the people left behind.
01:22:52.640Mortgage-free homes for fallen first responder families, smart homes for severely injured veterans, support for Gold Star families who paid the ultimate price.
01:24:00.320If the government can't be trusted to fix a pothole, why would you drink them, trust them with your drinking water?
01:24:17.020And, you know, tap water in America is kind of a disaster, right?
01:24:21.140It's a decades-old pipe system pushing out a chemical cocktail of lead and rust and whatever else managed to hitch a ride through the plumbing.
01:24:29.320Just ask the folks in Flint, Michigan how all that worked out.
01:24:34.680It's dangerous, and it's been linked to brain damage and cancer and developmental issues and kids and a host of other problems we're just probably beginning to understand.
01:24:44.000And yet millions of Americans still drink straight from the tap because, well, what else are you supposed to do?
01:24:51.520It's a sleek countertop water purifier that doesn't require a plumber, doesn't need to be drilled into your kitchen, and doesn't play games.
01:24:58.900Its clear wave technology strips out 99.9% of contaminants.
01:25:02.920You know, lead, PFAs, pharmaceuticals, the stuff, you know, that doesn't belong in your water.
01:25:07.980You just plug it in, you choose your temperature, and for once in your life you actually get water that, this is going to sound like a miracle, tastes like water.
01:25:15.620So, don't wait around for the government to solve this because, as you know, they will not.
01:25:56.280The U.S. Attorney for Western District of North Carolina had a press conference yesterday about the stabbing that Irina's family had to, you know, deal with now, having her buried in the U.S.
01:26:57.400You know, there's so many plates that you are spinning in the air all the time, you know, and then something goes wrong and then you're like, oh, one of these is going to drop.
01:27:06.480Jace Medical is a gift to all the plate spinners.
01:27:10.280You know, this is a plate that basically spins itself.
01:27:13.220They give you a full year of emergency antibiotics, full supply of those antibiotics and daily essentials prescribed by licensed doctors delivered to your door and ready when you need them.
01:27:23.640No last minute pharmacy runs, no panic when the supply chain would break or, you know, they're just out of stock.
01:27:32.580And if you miss, if you have daily meds that you can't miss, like blood pressure or asthma or whatever it is, Jace can cover those too with their custom Jace daily program.
01:27:43.400In a world full of unknowns, this is one less thing to worry about, one less plate to spin, and that's a deal worth taking.
01:27:50.180I want you to go to Jace, J-A-S-E.com, enter the promo code BECK at checkout for a discount on your order.
01:27:55.800That's promo code BECK at J-A-S-E.com, Jace.com.
01:33:08.820I mean, what would I want myself to do?
01:33:10.980I mean, it's tough to put yourself in that situation.
01:33:12.660It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism.
01:33:17.520Like everybody can do that very easily on Twitter and everyone is, you know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered someone in front of you, has a dripping, you know, blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.
01:33:35.960So there is probably a different standard there that we should all kind of consider and maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman sitting across the aisle.
01:34:25.080You know, now maybe, you know, once the guy has certainly is out of the area and you don't think the moment you step into that situation, he's going to turn around and decide to kill you too.
01:34:36.120Then, of course, obviously anything you could do to step in.
01:34:38.800Not that I think there was much anyone on the train could do.
01:34:42.400I mean, I don't think that there was an outcome change no matter what anyone on that train did, unfortunately.
01:35:19.180As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?
01:35:34.080I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would.
01:35:37.820And, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.
01:35:43.580But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.
01:35:50.520And I'm not sure that, I'm not sure what I would do in that situation.
01:35:54.340I know what I would hope I would do, but I also know what I fear I would do.
01:35:58.000But I would hope that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her, you know, help her up off the floor, at least be there with her as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.
01:36:15.260And that's the other thing we have to keep in mind.
01:37:46.400You know, I, I, I, look, as you point out, I think, you know, if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here,
01:37:53.100sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.
01:37:58.180You know, I, I don't know if it's, if that's a, you're not supposed to say that, I suppose, these days.
01:38:04.200But like, you know, there is a difference there.
01:38:06.000And, you know, if I'm a man, if I'm a man, you know, I would be, I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose.
01:38:11.480You know, I, I don't know if he could do anything about it, but you'd, you'd expect a, at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it.
01:38:19.740A woman, you know, I don't know, maybe, uh, maybe I'm, um, uh, I, I, you know, here's the thing I don't, here's the thing that I, I, that causes me to say, no, you should have jumped in.
01:38:32.140And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train.
01:38:36.080Um, so you've proven that you're a killer and anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her in there, she's dying.
01:38:46.600Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy, you know?
01:38:51.080Um, and if you don't stop him after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, uh, you know,
01:39:04.660the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed.
01:39:11.400It'd be the ones that are standing up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.
01:39:18.200There was a, uh, speaking of men and women's and their roles in this, there was a video that was circling social media yesterday, uh, Sweden in Sweden.
01:39:26.260It was a group of officials up on a stage and one of like the main, I think it was like a health official woman collapses on stage, completely passes out.
01:39:35.220All the men kind of look away or I don't know if they were looking away or pretending like they didn't know what was going on.
01:39:39.860There was another woman standing directly beside the woman that passed out, immediately springs into action, jumps on top, grabs her pant leg, grabs her shoulder, spins her over and starts, uh, providing care.
01:39:50.360What did she have that the other guys did not or women?
01:40:42.180They fantasize about someone holding up a liquor store, not a liquor store, a convenience store or something because they will step in and do something.
01:40:50.320My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing.
01:40:55.960Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car and there were none.
01:41:23.720Like you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want, you know, a guy to do, especially a Marine, to step up and stop this from happening.
01:41:37.140And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.
01:42:13.340He was just saying things and, you know, he didn't wind up stabbing someone.
01:42:18.680This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him.
01:42:26.320So if this woman who's, you know, again, looks to be an average American woman across the aisle steps in and tries to do something, he this guy could easily turn around and and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.
01:42:43.580And, you know, whether that is a an optimal solution for our society, I don't I don't know that that that that's helpful in that situation.
01:42:53.560Sarah, can you go to yesterday's sound sheet and see if you can find from yesterday?
01:43:08.080OK, so Tommy Robinson, there was a there was a protest in his favor and, you know, the police were called and they're trying to arrest people.
01:43:19.260And there was one guy who was talking to, I don't know, a reporter or just a podcaster or somebody.
01:43:26.260And and he was asked, you know, how can you stand here?
01:43:30.800And you don't you don't you're not even wearing a mask.
01:43:33.780So they're going to come to your house and get you.
01:44:15.080It looks just like a firearm, but it fires pepper balls and kinetic rounds and tear gas rounds, and it stops them right in their track.
01:44:23.980I mean, this this guy, I mean, you know, you might have gotten everybody else because it's an enclosed small area, but you would have hit this guy with tear gas.
01:47:22.960When the amount or the proportion of sheepdogs diminishes and they go away, never ends well for society.
01:47:29.980I will tell you, though, at the same time, we saw none of these people five years ago.
01:47:34.260We saw no one like that five years ago.
01:47:38.820Now you're seeing them all over the world.
01:47:41.820And again, you know, the proportion is you're probably right.
01:47:45.400I mean, we're seeing uprisings all over the world and we're seeing, you know, there are thousands of people behind him, you know, and here's one guy.
01:47:52.800But you're also seeing a UK that is well further advanced than we are.
01:52:30.260Trump's war on Democrat-run crime havens.
01:52:33.700Can he save our cities tonight, Wednesday night special, 9 p.m. on Blaze TV and also on my YouTube channel at youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.
01:52:43.020I'm, you know, I'm really concerned because if we don't get control of our cities, we don't have anything.
01:52:51.600Although I do not, I wouldn't, I wouldn't welcome this from a president that I didn't vote for.
01:52:57.020And just because he's my president, I, you know, I want the constitution followed by my president because I don't want him to set a precedent.
01:53:05.700And so the other guy, other side president comes in and he's like, no, I can take in, I can just go into Dallas and I can just control Dallas.
01:53:13.080No, I want to make sure we're playing constitutional rules.
01:53:18.620What surprised you most, Jason, about putting this show together tonight when you're doing all the research?
01:53:24.300I think what surprised me the most is how I felt afterwards about sending the National Guard into some of these cities.
01:53:32.160I was looking at it as, well, we don't really have to, there's other things we can do.
01:53:36.000I actually put together a huge chalkboard that we just scrapped for tonight because we didn't end up not having, having the time.
01:53:55.280And as long as we're doing it constitutionally, I don't have a problem with it.
01:54:00.400Well, I mean, well, this was probably the second thing that surprised me is there is a constitutional way he can do this.
01:54:06.740Now, it's obviously different than Washington, D.C.
01:54:08.740If he was going to do something like this in Chicago or let's say Charlotte, for that matter, he would have to, there's three different sections on how he could invoke the Insurrection Act.
01:54:20.080And that's the only way he can do it to get, posse comitatus does not allow it unless you invoke the Insurrection Act.
01:54:25.880And I think you could make that case in places like Chicago, that they are in insurrection.
01:54:32.480Insurrection means you are violating the civil rights of American citizens because you're not enforcing the laws or you are perpetrating, you know, crime on, you know, civil rights crimes on citizens.
01:54:52.440And so then the federal government has the responsibility to step in and take care of that.
01:54:57.480And I have a feeling they're going to make the case that you can do that because they're trying to stop ICE.
01:55:06.120They're trying to subvert the federal government from doing its constitutionally mandated job in protecting the civil rights,
01:55:16.020the life and property of citizens because these cities are not arresting these, uh, these criminals.
01:55:23.500I have a feeling that's the case he's going to make.
01:57:29.720Well, yeah, I'm, I'm worried about, um, sort of this, and I'm not accusing president Trump of this because as we've said, he has not even proposed any of these things yet.
01:57:39.520These are just, this is just a bunch of people talking about stuff, but there is a new, uh, you know, chat GPT constitutionalism I've noticed, uh, mostly on the left.
01:57:49.420Uh, some, some of it creeping into the right where, where, you know, you kind of like, well, is this constitutional and your AI says no.
01:57:56.620And you say, well, give me the best argument if you were to say that it was, and then that's the one we keep hearing, you know, well, if we, if we put it this way and we, we call this that, and we do this with this.
01:58:05.980And if student loans are part of the, uh, of something that we passed for soldiers after 9-11 and, and all of these different justifications we get, I, a lot of that's going on right now.
01:58:16.480So I'm very, very skeptical of it, but I do ask Glenn, because obviously you and I are, we've, we're always talking about section 251 of the insurrection act.
01:58:25.120A big, big thing that I'm, I'm, I'm a little weaker on 252 and 253, which is what we should be talking about right now, but go ahead with your 251.
01:58:33.780But let me make a serious point on 251, which is we do have states that are red states that agree with Trump, that we can get approval from red state governors to go into blue state cities with these types of solutions that aren't part of a constitutional question.
01:58:52.020because of how clear it is when you're asking from a governor to the, to the federal government, Hey, please come in here and help us with this.
01:59:00.360You don't, you avoid all those constitutional questions. You help a red state, not Illinois or not, you know, some state that can't stand Donald Trump.
01:59:09.920It doesn't seemingly want the help. You help a red state with a problem area and you help the citizens of that red state.
01:59:17.540I mean, to me, that's a much more direct line. If you're going to do something like this, go to the governor.
01:59:21.400And get the approval to go in there and do these things. I, I would lean that way. If, if this was a direction that you were going to go.
01:59:32.160I think I personally, I think that's extraordinarily valuable, uh, and valid, and it is less controversial. Yes.
01:59:41.380But I feel just as strong from what I understand of two 52 and two 53, I do feel it is, it is clear that because they are thwarting the federal government's law enforcement capability.
01:59:57.440Okay. Okay. That's what they're doing. They are saying spy on ice, stop ice, rat on ice, publish pictures of their faces.
02:00:06.520This is, that is a federal law enforcement agency. And if they are making it impossible for them to conduct their law enforcement, that's two 52. Is it not?
02:00:18.320Yes. Yes. And then the other one is the violation of, of civil rights of American citizens.
02:00:26.380That one is a little harder, but you could say, I mean, was not in Charlotte was not that she wasn't even a citizen, but wasn't her civil rights.
02:00:38.560Weren't they violated? Of course they were, but I mean, if that's the standard responsible for that, if that's the standard, I know you can apply this to every city at all times.
02:00:48.840There are always murders in these cities. There are always situations. It's a really dangerous road to open up.
02:00:55.400I know. And you know what, what happens when I said, when, when, you know, that's why, yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry.
02:01:00.120I was going to say, that's why I think two 52 is very clear because they are saying they are not going to allow the federal government to enforce in those cities.
02:01:10.840They are declaring that that's two 52. And I think you can go in on two 52. You could make a case for two 53. I'm not as comfortable with it, but I think you could make a case for it.
02:01:25.400Yeah. Yeah. But two 51 seems even clearer. And it's like, I don't know until we run out of, you know, Memphis's and, you know, uh, you know, uh, these cities that are near the top of the list that are in red States.
02:01:38.300I mean, these dumb points brought up by like Gavin Newsom. Oh yeah. Well, this state has a higher murder rate than my, or this city has a higher murder rate than my state and it's in a red state.
02:01:47.160Well, okay. You know, look, those, those cities, of course, are all run by Democrats. We could go through the political arguments there, but those are something, these are things that we actually can address, right?
02:01:56.880Like we don't have these, I agree with these problems. And I think, you know, the more that we can get involved in not look, my goal here is to avoid these new openings in the constitution.
02:02:08.660Uh, and of course my, you know, I want to stop the crime as much as I think the president does. And that's an important part of this, by the way, that, that I believe, I know the left doesn't agree with us.
02:02:19.300I believe the president's motivations here are really good. I think he really wants to stop things like this from happening.
02:02:24.780I think his motivations here are to stop people from suffering and being victims of this stuff. Yes. You know, it is important. And considering there are easier pathways that don't open these things up, I would prefer to avoid that, that conflict.
02:02:41.520I'm not always, I know the president likes to jump in these things a little bit more than I do. Maybe.
02:02:45.660I would prefer that as well. I mean, I have a family who disagrees with almost everything I, I believe in and stand for, it seems like, uh, and they are just in my face all the time on, you know, he's doing exactly what you said Barack Obama was going to do. He's marching armies into cities. No, no, no, he's not. But I understand how you could see it that way.
02:03:10.480If you're only being informed by, you know, NPR, I can understand how you see it that way. And I would rather avoid that by being invited in by the governor in red states. You could say, no, he's not. He's been invited in by the governor. It's all constitutional. I much rather would have that.
02:03:29.240You are right. That's the clear, easy way to do it. 252, however, speaks to me because I'm tired of these, these cities being sanctuary cities and saying, we're not going to abide by federal law.
02:03:46.360Excuse me. You don't have the right to do that. You don't have the right to thwart the federal government. And if you, if you want to make that right, then great. Then let's go to court and find that you let's, let's, let's argue that in court.
02:04:02.640And if you want that ability, great. Then let's change the constitution, but you cannot thwart the federal government on federal law. You just can't do it.
02:04:13.960And so I'm motivated to go into those cities and those states who are just putting a thumb in the eye of the constitution, not of Donald Trump, of the constitution and saying, you know what? We want it our way. We're going to do it our way. We don't, we're not allowed that. We're not allowed that.
02:04:33.560Um, but an easier, cleaner way is exactly the way you stated, but we're going to debate all of this and show all of these options tonight, 9 PM on, uh, Glenn, uh, Glenn TV. You don't want to miss it.

02:07:11.080We have some new developments in the 2024 election, somehow.
02:07:15.200Now, Kamala Harris has a new book coming out, and the first leaks are out. Alex Thompson has the first leaks from this book.
02:07:22.640And one of the things that was interesting about the 2024 election was Kamala Harris never taking a step to distance herself at all from Joe Biden.
02:07:32.260You, of course, remember the most famous moment. I remember it happened while we were sitting here on the air, and we couldn't believe that when asked what's one thing you would say would differentiate yourself from Biden, she couldn't come up with anything.
02:07:43.700And we said on the air at the time, this election, how can you win an election with that position? Everyone knows.
02:07:52.060And so now, though, now that I guess the election's over, she's thinking about her future, she's trying to sell books, she now is saying we should have done something.
02:08:02.240She said over and over again, people inside the White House said it's Joe and Jill's decision.
02:08:06.420We all said that like a mantra as if we'd all been hypnotized.
02:08:09.700But this wasn't a choice that should have been left to an individual's ego.
02:08:14.380She says, in retrospect, I think it was reckless.
02:08:18.080She also goes after the White House communications team and Corinne Jean-Pierre saying they were never helpful.
02:08:24.720She says, when Republicans said I was a border czar, no one helped me push back.
02:08:30.100She said, instead, I shouldered the blame for a porous border, an issue that had proved intractable for Democratic and Republican administrations alike.
02:08:38.620No one around the president advocated.
