Glenn's Dream Team

Trump's next move? Do all he can to pitt the other candidates against each other and against Ted Cruz. If he can to feed the animosity between them, making sure they stay in their current places, they won't unite and come together.

But, if the candidates do unite behind Ted Cruz --- because he's the only one with the numbers to beat Donald Trump --- there is a pathway to victory.

Glenn outlined his dream team to accomplish just that.

Enjoy this complimentary clip from The Glenn Beck Program:

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors:

GLENN: So let me give you a couple of things. I'll tell you what I think should happen. But let me give you a couple of observations from last night. I wrote about last night, about 9 o'clock, that the next move for Trump is do all he can through people like Roger Stone to put all other candidates against Ted Cruz.

He has to keep them apart. So what I mean is to do everything he can to feed animosity between the other candidates to make sure they stay in the places that they are, that they don't start gathering together. Look for those dirty tricks that will divide -- divide each other even more than they already are divided.

But then there's something else that you should watch for with Donald Trump. And he was already doing it. The G.O.P. is at the -- is at the point of death. And their decision is this: Get behind your base of conservatives and deep conservatives that currently support Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio or stand with Donald Trump because he will make deals and move to the progressive middle to get Democrats to vote for him.

I believe that this is what you're going to see Donald Trump do. And this is exactly what he did last night at the -- when he was speaking.

He will begin to move to the left because that's who he really is. He's much more Chris Christie than anything else. And he is a progressive liberal from New York. And so he's going to move now to the left. And he's just going to say, "Look, I'm just trying to reach out because we're going to make this tent bigger. We're going to make this tent uge."

And the -- the G.O.P. has to decide: Do you want to have a uge tent that doesn't include the conservatives, but does include all of the progressive Chuck Schumers and the liberals who are disenfranchised with Hillary Clinton? Are you going to become the Democratic Party?

He will tell the party leaders that he's going to grow the party and they shouldn't worry about the loss of the conservative base, quote, because they're not going to go anywhere. The G.O.P. has never liked the conservatives in the first place, neither has Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has said how stupid those people are in the past. His policies are not small government in the past or currently. He's more progressive than Boehner, John McCain, or McConnell. The G.O.P. will choose to throw in with Trump over Cruz and the conservatives. And I believe it will be the end of the Grand Old Party because they forgot who took them there, what their principles were in the first place, and conservatives are tired of being treated like a redheaded stepchild. And they will not go for it anymore.

So what do we do? Where are we now? What should happen to -- to us? What should Ted Cruz do at this point?

I think it's really quite easy to see a path to real victory here. And that -- that path starts today, really, if Ted Cruz is open to offering some positions.

I think if Ted Cruz came out and said to Marco Rubio -- and I don't think Marco Rubio would take this. But I think if he came out and said, "Marco, we have got to work together. And I know that we have differences, but neither of us are going to win if we keep this going on. You don't have a path to victory." And Rubio will get insulted and argue back and forth. Because I saw him on television, argue back and forth. That's because the government progressives have gotten into his head.

But you don't have a way -- you don't have a way to win. You need to join me. And together we can win. And I'll make you the vice president. Because you're young. What are you, 12? You're young. You'll be able to run --

PAT: You're about the same page.

GLENN: No, he seems he's like 12, doesn't he?

PAT: Yeah. He does.

GLENN: You're going to be able to run for president. You'll be vice president. And then you can run for president after that.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: But we have to save the republic.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: So you run as vice president. Ben Carson, you're going to be the attorney general if you'll take it. Let's make Rand Paul the secretary of -- of -- of treasury. Let's start to put together a dream team here, and let's march together.

Now, I don't think that's going to happen because there are too many people in Washington that want to keep their position.

As I was driving into the studios here that we have, you know, right by Union Station here in Washington, DC, we're a block away from the capitol, TheBlaze facilities. And I'm looking at all these buildings, and they're all unions. You know, the Association of Realtors. And all these lobbyists. There's too much money here to be made. There's too much power. Too many buildings that have been built for this stuff for those guys to let go of their power easily.

And so they don't want somebody like Ted Cruz. Because Ted Cruz is going to say, "Get out. Get out." All of this is unconstitutional, get out. Let's listen to the people.

But I would pray for a miracle. Because here's why this has to be done now. Stu, correct me if I'm wrong. But I believe Florida and Ohio are winner-take-all states, are they not?

STU: Yeah, they are.

GLENN: So we don't have the time to prove Marco Rubio wrong. He is 20 points behind in Florida. If he would join Ted Cruz, they would win Florida. If they don't join, they will both lose Florida and it's a winner-take-all state, and you're going to have Donald Trump as your nominee. And there won't be any way to go. It will be too late.

The people who say Donald Trump should not be president need to come together. And I said this yesterday to Ted Cruz.

Ted, if you don't walk away with the lion's share of the delegates in second place tomorrow. If it's Marco Rubio, I'm going to come to you and tell you, "You got to get behind the other guy." Whoever has the lion's share of the delegates, we've got to pull together. Because Donald Trump is the end of the G.O.P. And I'm fine with that, quite honestly. But what are you going to replace it with? He is the end of the G.O.P. And he is the end, I believe, of the republic as we know it.

So where do we go from here? Unity is where we go. Unity. And there's a lot of people that are part of the -- the Trump coalition that don't want to be part of the Trump coalition. There will always be -- those people who are just mad and nasty, those people, they're always going to be with Donald Trump. But there's a lot of people who are reasonable and don't like standing next to people who are mean and nasty. Those people, let's show them that we can work together and build a better place and a better country and be good and decent and honorable.

Here's my dream team -- and I think this is doable. I think this is doable and absolutely unstoppable.

Ted Cruz as the president. Marco Rubio -- and I think they should announce this and run as this. I think we should begin to demand this. I think this should go all over the internet.

Ted Cruz as president. Marco Rubio as vice president. Remember, Marco Rubio -- the reason why he's still in it and he's not going to give up is because he can't run for his Senate seat. So his Senate seat is over. So he's out. So he's going to keep going. He has an interest. So Ted Cruz as president. Marco Rubio as vice president. They then say, "Our Supreme Court nominee is Mike Lee. Rand Paul is going to be the Secretary of Treasury. And Ben Carson, we're going to back you with everything we can to get you to take Marco Rubio's seat in the Senate."

How is that not a win for absolutely everyone? And that team would be unstoppable. Tweet that. Facebook that. Get that out. Demand that that's where we go.

Everyone wins: Cruz is president. Rubio, vice president. Mike Lee as our Supreme Court justice. Rand Paul as Treasury Secretary. And Ben Carson as the new Florida senator. Everyone wins. And we'll stomp in November.

Breaking point: Will America stand up to the mob?

Jeff J Mitchell / Staff | Getty Images

The mob rises where men of courage fall silent. The lesson from Portland, Chicago, and other blue cities is simple: Appeasing radicals doesn’t buy peace — it only rents humiliation.

Parts of America, like Portland and Chicago, now resemble occupied territory. Progressive city governments have surrendered control to street militias, leaving citizens, journalists, and even federal officers to face violent anarchists without protection.

Take Portland, where Antifa has terrorized the city for more than 100 consecutive nights. Federal officers trying to keep order face nightly assaults while local officials do nothing. Independent journalists, such as Nick Sortor, have even been arrested for documenting the chaos. Sortor and Blaze News reporter Julio Rosas later testified at the White House about Antifa’s violence — testimony that corporate media outlets buried.

Antifa is organized, funded, and emboldened.

Chicago offers the same grim picture. Federal agents have been stalked, ambushed, and denied backup from local police while under siege from mobs. Calls for help went unanswered, putting lives in danger. This is more than disorder; it is open defiance of federal authority and a violation of the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.

A history of violence

For years, the legacy media and left-wing think tanks have portrayed Antifa as “decentralized” and “leaderless.” The opposite is true. Antifa is organized, disciplined, and well-funded. Groups like Rose City Antifa in Oregon, the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club in Texas, and Jane’s Revenge operate as coordinated street militias. Legal fronts such as the National Lawyers Guild provide protection, while crowdfunding networks and international supporters funnel money directly to the movement.

The claim that Antifa lacks structure is a convenient myth — one that’s cost Americans dearly.

History reminds us what happens when mobs go unchecked. The French Revolution, Weimar Germany, Mao’s Red Guards — every one began with chaos on the streets. But it wasn’t random. Today’s radicals follow the same playbook: Exploit disorder, intimidate opponents, and seize moral power while the state looks away.

Dismember the dragon

The Trump administration’s decision to designate Antifa a domestic terrorist organization was long overdue. The label finally acknowledged what citizens already knew: Antifa functions as a militant enterprise, recruiting and radicalizing youth for coordinated violence nationwide.

But naming the threat isn’t enough. The movement’s financiers, organizers, and enablers must also face justice. Every dollar that funds Antifa’s destruction should be traced, seized, and exposed.

This fight transcends party lines. It’s not about left versus right; it’s about civilization versus anarchy. When politicians and judges excuse or ignore mob violence, they imperil the republic itself. Americans must reject silence and cowardice while street militias operate with impunity.

Antifa is organized, funded, and emboldened. The violence in Portland and Chicago is deliberate, not spontaneous. If America fails to confront it decisively, the price won’t just be broken cities — it will be the erosion of the republic itself.

Colorado counselor fights back after faith declared “illegal”

Drew Angerer / Staff | Getty Images

The state is effectively silencing professionals who dare speak truths about gender and sexuality, redefining faith-guided speech as illegal.

This week, free speech is once again on the line before the U.S. Supreme Court. At stake is whether Americans still have the right to talk about faith, morality, and truth in their private practice without the government’s permission.

The case comes out of Colorado, where lawmakers in 2019 passed a ban on what they call “conversion therapy.” The law prohibits licensed counselors from trying to change a minor’s gender identity or sexual orientation, including their behaviors or gender expression. The law specifically targets Christian counselors who serve clients attempting to overcome gender dysphoria and not fall prey to the transgender ideology.

The root of this case isn’t about therapy. It’s about erasing a worldview.

The law does include one convenient exception. Counselors are free to “assist” a person who wants to transition genders but not someone who wants to affirm their biological sex. In other words, you can help a child move in one direction — one that is in line with the state’s progressive ideology — but not the other.

Think about that for a moment. The state is saying that a counselor can’t even discuss changing behavior with a client. Isn’t that the whole point of counseling?

One‑sided freedom

Kaley Chiles, a licensed professional counselor in Colorado Springs, has been one of the victims of this blatant attack on the First Amendment. Chiles has dedicated her practice to helping clients dealing with addiction, trauma, sexuality struggles, and gender dysphoria. She’s also a Christian who serves patients seeking guidance rooted in biblical teaching.

Before 2019, she could counsel minors according to her faith. She could talk about biblical morality, identity, and the path to wholeness. When the state outlawed that speech, she stopped. She followed the law — and then she sued.

Her case, Chiles v. Salazar, is now before the Supreme Court. Justices heard oral arguments on Tuesday. The question: Is counseling a form of speech or merely a government‑regulated service?

If the court rules the wrong way, it won’t just silence therapists. It could muzzle pastors, teachers, parents — anyone who believes in truth grounded in something higher than the state.

Censored belief

I believe marriage between a man and a woman is ordained by God. I believe that family — mother, father, child — is central to His design for humanity.

I believe that men and women are created in God’s image, with divine purpose and eternal worth. Gender isn’t an accessory; it’s part of who we are.

I believe the command to “be fruitful and multiply” still stands, that the power to create life is sacred, and that it belongs within marriage between a man and a woman.

And I believe that when we abandon these principles — when we treat sex as recreation, when we dissolve families, when we forget our vows — society fractures.

Are those statements controversial now? Maybe. But if this case goes against Chiles, those statements and others could soon be illegal to say aloud in public.

Faith on trial

In Colorado today, a counselor cannot sit down with a 15‑year‑old who’s struggling with gender identity and say, “You were made in God’s image, and He does not make mistakes.” That is now considered hate speech.

That’s the “freedom” the modern left is offering — freedom to affirm, but never to question. Freedom to comply, but never to dissent. The same movement that claims to champion tolerance now demands silence from anyone who disagrees. The root of this case isn’t about therapy. It’s about erasing a worldview.

The real test

No matter what happens at the Supreme Court, we cannot stop speaking the truth. These beliefs aren’t political slogans. For me, they are the product of years of wrestling, searching, and learning through pain and grace what actually leads to peace. For us, they are the fundamental principles that lead to a flourishing life. We cannot balk at standing for truth.

Maybe that’s why God allows these moments — moments when believers are pushed to the wall. They force us to ask hard questions: What is true? What is worth standing for? What is worth dying for — and living for?

If we answer those questions honestly, we’ll find not just truth, but freedom.

The state doesn’t grant real freedom — and it certainly isn’t defined by Colorado legislators. Real freedom comes from God. And the day we forget that, the First Amendment will mean nothing at all.

What our response to Israel reveals about us

JOSEPH PREZIOSO / Contributor | Getty Images

I have been honored to receive the Defender of Israel Award from Prime Minister Netanyahu.

The Jerusalem Post recently named me one of the strongest Christian voices in support of Israel.

And yet, my support is not blind loyalty. It’s not a rubber stamp for any government or policy. I support Israel because I believe it is my duty — first as a Christian, but even if I weren’t a believer, I would still support her as a man of reason, morality, and common sense.

Because faith isn’t required to understand this: Israel’s existence is not just about one nation’s survival — it is about the survival of Western civilization itself.

It is a lone beacon of shared values in the Middle East. It is a bulwark standing against radical Islam — the same evil that seeks to dismantle our own nation from within.

And my support is not rooted in politics. It is rooted in something simpler and older than politics: a people’s moral and historical right to their homeland, and their right to live in peace.

Israel has that right — and the right to defend herself against those who openly, repeatedly vow her destruction.

Let’s make it personal: if someone told me again and again that they wanted to kill me and my entire family — and then acted on that threat — would I not defend myself? Wouldn’t you? If Hamas were Canada, and we were Israel, and they did to us what Hamas has done to them, there wouldn’t be a single building left standing north of our border. That’s not a question of morality.

That’s just the truth. All people — every people — have a God-given right to protect themselves. And Israel is doing exactly that.

My support for Israel’s right to finish the fight against Hamas comes after eighty years of rejected peace offers and failed two-state solutions. Hamas has never hidden its mission — the eradication of Israel. That’s not a political disagreement.

That’s not a land dispute. That is an annihilationist ideology. And while I do not believe this is America’s war to fight, I do believe — with every fiber of my being — that it is Israel’s right, and moral duty, to defend her people.

Criticism of military tactics is fair. That’s not antisemitism. But denying Israel’s right to exist, or excusing — even celebrating — the barbarity of Hamas? That’s something far darker.

We saw it on October 7th — the face of evil itself. Women and children slaughtered. Babies burned alive. Innocent people raped and dragged through the streets. And now, to see our own fellow citizens march in defense of that evil… that is nothing short of a moral collapse.

If the chants in our streets were, “Hamas, return the hostages — Israel, stop the bombing,” we could have a conversation.

But that’s not what we hear.

What we hear is open sympathy for genocidal hatred. And that is a chasm — not just from decency, but from humanity itself. And here lies the danger: that same hatred is taking root here — in Dearborn, in London, in Paris — not as horror, but as heroism. If we are not vigilant, the enemy Israel faces today will be the enemy the free world faces tomorrow.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about truth. It’s about the courage to call evil by its name and to say “Never again” — and mean it.

And you don’t have to open a Bible to understand this. But if you do — if you are a believer — then this issue cuts even deeper. Because the question becomes: what did God promise, and does He keep His word?

He told Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you.” He promised to make Abraham the father of many nations and to give him “the whole land of Canaan.” And though Abraham had other sons, God reaffirmed that promise through Isaac. And then again through Isaac’s son, Jacob — Israel — saying: “The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I give to you and to your descendants after you.”

That’s an everlasting promise.

And from those descendants came a child — born in Bethlehem — who claimed to be the Savior of the world. Jesus never rejected His title as “son of David,” the great King of Israel.

He said plainly that He came “for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” And when He returns, Scripture says He will return as “the Lion of the tribe of Judah.” And where do you think He will go? Back to His homeland — Israel.

And what will He find when He gets there? His brothers — or his brothers’ enemies? Will the roads where He once walked be preserved? Or will they lie in rubble, as Gaza does today? If what He finds looks like the aftermath of October 7th, then tell me — what will be my defense as a Christian?

Some Christians argue that God’s promises to Israel have been transferred exclusively to the Church. I don’t believe that. But even if you do, then ask yourself this: if we’ve inherited the promises, do we not also inherit the land? Can we claim the birthright and then, like Esau, treat it as worthless when the world tries to steal it?

So, when terrorists come to slaughter Israelis simply for living in the land promised to Abraham, will we stand by? Or will we step forward — into the line of fire — and say,

“Take me instead”?

Because this is not just about Israel’s right to exist.

It’s about whether we still know the difference between good and evil.

It’s about whether we still have the courage to stand where God stands.

And if we cannot — if we will not — then maybe the question isn’t whether Israel will survive. Maybe the question is whether we will.
