Intentional, Provoked Violence Is Coming — Don't Give in to It

March 21, 2016

Writer

Violence erupted again at a Donald Trump rally over the weekend, and Trump supporters need to know one thing: They're being used as pawns by George Soros and those wanting to destabilize the West.

Chaos is their goal, and it was on full display in Arizona. The highway leading into a Trump rally was shut down by Soros-funded Black Lives Matter protestors. Inside another venue, a Trump protestor wore a KKK hood, deliberately trying to agitate the crowd.

"So these people came in, and of course, they're going to be pigs — not the Trump people, the Black Lives Matter, Soros people," Glenn said Monday on The Glenn Beck Program. "They are trying to get you to strike back."

Restraint is key — be angry, be vocal, but don't react with violence.

Glenn commented on one Trump supporter who reacted in horrific violence, punching and kicking a protestor who was being escorted out of a rally.

"This is the French Revolution, not the American Revolution. And it doesn't end well," Glenn said. "You want the French Revolution or the American Revolution? One ends horribly. The other ends in a rebirth of freedom."

Enjoy this complimentary clip from The Glenn Beck Program:

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

GLENN: Also, in Arizona, there was a --it's getting ugly. It is really getting ugly. Soros is funding the Black Lives Matter riots. There is a whole system now that they have set up to prepare us -- to prepare them, the Occupy Wall Street and the Black Lives Matter people, including the Muslim Brotherhood, Soros is funding this -- really, this training camp over the summer, where you can learn how to protest and how to break things up and be violent. I'm sorry. He's suggesting that they're not violent at all.

And you know the Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, and Muslim Brotherhood people are never violent. So he's funding, for instance, in -- in Phoenix, this shutdown of the freeway. Did you see that -- follow that over the weekend?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And these people just shut the freeway down. And they were all Black Lives Matter, Soros people.

(BREAK)

GLENN: Soros like the imams over in Iran, like the -- the people over in Europe that are -- what is it, The Coming Insurrection people, like Occupy Wall Street, like Black Lives Matter, they all want one thing, and that is chaos.

So Soros could be explained as easily as he wants chaos. He wants it to go to a brokered convention because he knows that will cause all kinds of problems. He wants to shut down the streets and have riots in the streets. It doesn't matter. Just shut them down. He is looking for chaos. And who is the father of chaos? I would just like to remind you.

Chaos is what people are shooting for right now that want to collapse the West.

So two stories out of Arizona, besides the roads being shut down by the Black Lives Matter people. When you see Black Lives Matter, I want you to understand, we've already been through this. This is Occupy Wall Street. Black Lives Matter. The Muslim Brotherhood. This is the Occupy Wall Street movement, version two.

And remember what all -- Occupy Wall Street and the press wanted to happen. They wanted us to strike back. When we didn't strike back, they disappeared. They had no power. But the minute they found, "Oh, we can get somebody to strike back at us, it's going to cause riots in the street." This is George Soros, remember. Top-down, bottom-up, inside-out. That's George Soros because he saw it work in Hungary when the communists took over.

You get enough of your people in the government, you get riots on the street, the people -- the regular people scream out and say, "Somebody has got to make this stop." The top comes down, turns the country inside out, and it's over. So the worst thing you can do is respond in anger or violence. But try that at a Trump rally.

So these people came in. And, of course, they're going to be pigs. Not the Trump people. The Black Lives Matter, Soros people. Of course. They are trying to get you to strike back.

So somebody goes into this Trump rally. I think it was a woman. And this person -- I don't know if it was a woman or a man. This person puts on a Klan hood in the middle of Donald Trump's rally. Now, how do you think that's going to go over?

STU: Had his back patted by the people near him.

GLENN: What?

STU: People started patting their back.

GLENN: Yes. You could do that in any really. You could do that at a Cruz rally, and it's not going to go over. You do that in a Trump rally, and you have a very good chance of getting coldcocked in the face.

Well, what a surprise. Trump says, "Get that person out of here. That's disgusting." Well, of course, his crowd will get that person out of there. This person was vile, despicable, you name it. I am not siding with this person with the Klan hood.

But as they're being escorted upstairs, a black guy coldcocks this person, which is bad enough. Then this person is laying down on the ground of the steps, and he body-blow kicks her repeatedly. It is something like I've never seen before. It was despicable. Absolutely despicable.

Violence is coming. And I'm going to leave it at that. Violence is coming 1968-style. And it's coming to our conventions, unless we get a hold of ourselves.

And when I say that, I want the Trump people to hear me clearly: You're being set up. Do you understand that? Look at the history. Look at what Occupy Wall Street did. They want you to strike back. And your fearless leader is too arrogant to figure out what's going on. And your fearless leader is not leading you to a place of peace. He is telling you that he will pay for your legal fees.

You will be responsible for the end of the republic if you don't wise up and figure this out: restraint. You can be as angry as you want. Restraint. "Well, they deserved it." Restraint. The republic is at stake. And you're being set up.

Does that make sense to anybody? If you know people are trying to get you to do something, you're an idiot if you go and do it. What do you think they want?

Now, let me tell you another story: In that blockade, there was -- of the freeway, which was despicable again. George Soros money. The blockade happens. This guy who is driving his construction truck, he's sitting there. He's stuck in traffic. He's a youth pastor. And he's just trying to get to his church.

Everybody is in line trying to get to this Trump rally. He's just trying to get to his church for service. The blockade happens. CNN covers it. His truck is up front with the name of his construction company. The Trump supporters are now calling in death threats to his construction company. He was a youth pastor. He has nothing to do with it. He was stuck in traffic, just like everyone else. But you went and jumped to the conclusion that he was involved. This is the French Revolution, not the American Revolution. And it doesn't end well.

But it seems like all we're doing right now is just jockeying for who will be the next dictator. Could it be Barack Obama? Could it be Bernie Sanders? Could it be Clinton? Could it be -- why not? Donald Trump? They're all jockeying for power. None of them for the principles of the Constitution. You want the French Revolution or the American Revolution?

One ends horribly. The other ends in a rebirth of freedom.

(OUT AT 8:25AM)

GLENN: So what did -- I read a quote. I thought this was an old quote. Is, do we know yet about what Donald Trump has said or not?

STU: We're looking at it. I heard it this morning on the radio.

GLENN: Is he paying the guy's legal fees. Do we know that yet? Is he --

STU: Because there's multiple -- you talked about someone in a hood who got kicked. The one I saw was in an American flag shirt that got kicked on the ground.

GLENN: Okay. That's why I said I wasn't sure. Because I think the woman in the hat -- in the hood, I think that was a woman.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: And I think she was leaving, and maybe somebody else was kicked down to the ground or something. I don't know. I saw the video on the plane. But I know that, if it wasn't the woman in the hood, then it was somebody else that was being escorted. And she was -- and he was punched in the face, down to the ground, and then kicked. Repeated body blows. That guy should be in jail. I don't know if he --

PAT: He was arrested. I mean, it looks like they were taking him.

GLENN: And what is the story of Trump's campaign manager roughing somebody else out and getting him out?

STU: So there's a protester that they were -- the campaign manager and another guy were standing next to. He started walking away. The same guy who grabbed the girl and called all the controversy last week. He grabbed this guy by the collar. Pulled him back.

The guy to his left, at the same time, also pulled him back and pulled him back harder. The Trump campaign was, well, this -- it wasn't Corey Lewandowski, our campaign manager. You can see him clearly grab his collar and pull him back.

But he said, really, he was reacting to the other guy who pulled much harder, and they tried to blow it off on that. Took about 24 hours for it to be revealed that the other guy was also a Trump campaign worker that the campaign just forgot to mention that in their denial.

PAT: And it shows.

STU: They blamed it on the other guy, and it was their guy too.

PAT: And it shows that's what he does. So it kind of reinforces the proof of the other one.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: It does. They're all New York, Mafioso-style thugs. That's all they are.

PAT: Yeah, they're thugs. Yeah.

GLENN: And I can't believe -- I mean, there's got to be some Trump supporters -- because Trump supporters, there's a lot of people, I've met people who are --

PAT: Reasonable.

GLENN: Don't like me because of what I'm saying. And I'm not saying they're necessarily open-minded on things, but they are not thugs. They're not thugs. They're not somebody that is going to kick somebody when they're down.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And I think the vast majority of Trump supporters are like that, they won't kick somebody when they go down. It's probably 10 percent of Trump supporters that are bad, really bottom-of-the-barrel, Occupy Wall Street, except -- I hate to say on the conservative side. They think they're on the right. They're just, they're progressive Republicans. They have to be.

You know, I saw a study this weekend: What do Trump supporters have in common? Did you guys see this? We have to look for this. They did a test, and I got to read the test to you. They did a test. They put questions out on the field and said, "Are you a Trump supporter?" If you said yes, they asked you all of these questions: Pick this or this. Which is better? This or this? And they found the thread through all of them. And you have -- if you're a Trump supporter, you have one thing in common for sure, and that is authoritarianism.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: We've seen that. We've seen a test like that. But have you actually read the questions?

STU: I think I did read some of the --

GLENN: Yeah, they were very interesting. Very interesting questions. We'll give those questions to you here in a minute and see if you -- see how you answer them. Because that's what they have in -- I like the power of the government to take care of things and take care of business.

The Crisis of Meaning: Searching for truth and purpose

Mario Tama / Staff | Getty Images

Anxiety, anger, and chronic dissatisfaction signal a country searching for meaning. Without truth and purpose, politics becomes a dangerous substitute for identity.

We have built a world overflowing with noise, convenience, and endless choice, yet something essential has slipped out of reach. You can sense it in the restless mood of the country, the anxiety among young people who cannot explain why they feel empty, in the angry confusion that dominates our politics.

We have more wealth than any nation in history, but the heart of the culture feels strangely malnourished. Before we can debate debt or elections, we must confront the reality that we created a world of things, but not a world of purpose.

You cannot survive a crisis you refuse to name, and you cannot rebuild a world whose foundations you no longer understand.

What we are living through is not just economic or political dysfunction. It is the vacuum that appears when a civilization mistakes abundance for meaning.

Modern life is stuffed with everything except what the human soul actually needs. We built systems to make life faster, easier, and more efficient — and then wondered why those systems cannot teach our children who they are, why they matter, or what is worth living for.

We tell the next generation to chase success, influence, and wealth, turning childhood into branding. We ask kids what they want to do, not who they want to be. We build a world wired for dopamine rather than dignity, and then we wonder why so many people feel unmoored.

When everything is curated, optimized, and delivered at the push of a button, the question “what is my life for?” gets lost in the static.

The crisis beneath the headlines

It is not just the young who feel this crisis. Every part of our society is straining under the weight of meaninglessness.

Look at the debt cycle — the mathematical fate no civilization has ever escaped once it crosses a threshold that we seem to have already blown by. While ordinary families feel the pressure, our leaders respond with distraction, with denial, or by rewriting the very history that could have warned us.

You cannot survive a crisis you refuse to name, and you cannot rebuild a world whose foundations you no longer understand.

We have entered a cultural moment where the noise is so loud that it drowns out the simplest truths. We are living in a country that no longer knows how to hear itself think.

So people go searching. Some drift toward the false promise of socialism, some toward the empty thrill of rebellion. Some simply check out. When a culture forgets what gives life meaning, it becomes vulnerable to every ideology that offers a quick answer.

The quiet return of meaning

And yet, quietly, something else is happening. Beneath the frustration and cynicism, many Americans are recognizing that meaning does not come from what we own, but from what we honor. It does not rise from success, but from virtue. It does not emerge from noise, but from the small, sacred things that modern life has pushed to the margins — the home, the table, the duty you fulfill, the person you help when no one is watching.

The danger is assuming that this rediscovery happens on its own. It does not.

Reorientation requires intention. It requires rebuilding the habits and virtues that once held us together. It requires telling the truth about our history instead of rewriting it to fit today’s narratives. And it requires acknowledging what has been erased: that meaning is inseparable from God’s presence in a nation’s life.

Where renewal begins

We have built a world without stillness, and then we wondered why no one can hear the questions that matter. Those questions remain, whether we acknowledge them or not. They do not disappear just because we drown them in entertainment or noise. They wait for us, and the longer we ignore them, the more disoriented we become.

Meaning is still available. It is found in rebuilding the smallest, most human spaces — the places that cannot be digitized, globalized, or automated. The home. The family. The community.

These are the daily virtues that do not trend on social media, but that hold a civilization upright. If we want to repair this country, we begin there, exactly where every durable civilization has always begun: one virtue at a time, one tradition at a time, one generation at a time.

A break in trust: A NEW Watergate is brewing in plain sight

Gary Hershorn / Contributor | Getty Images

When institutions betray the public’s trust, the country splits, and the spiral is hard to stop.

Something drastic is happening in American life. Headlines that should leave us stunned barely register anymore. Stories that once would have united the country instead dissolve into silence or shrugs.

It is not apathy exactly. It is something deeper — a growing belief that the people in charge either cannot or will not fix what is broken.

When people feel ignored or betrayed, they will align with anyone who appears willing to fight on their behalf.

I call this response the Bubba effect. It describes what happens when institutions lose so much public trust that “Bubba,” the average American minding his own business, finally throws his hands up and says, “Fine. I will handle it myself.” Not because he wants to, but because the system that was supposed to protect him now feels indifferent, corrupt, or openly hostile.

The Bubba effect is not a political movement. It is a survival instinct.

What triggers the Bubba effect

We are watching the triggers unfold in real time. When members of Congress publicly encourage active duty troops to disregard orders from the commander in chief, that is not a political squabble. When a federal judge quietly rewrites the rules so one branch of government can secretly surveil another, that is not normal. That is how republics fall. Yet these stories glided across the news cycle without urgency, without consequence, without explanation.

When the American people see the leadership class shrug, they conclude — correctly — that no one is steering the ship.

This is how the Bubba effect spreads. It is not just individuals resisting authority. It is sheriffs refusing to enforce new policies, school boards ignoring state mandates, entire communities saying, “We do not believe you anymore.” It becomes institutional, cultural, national.

A country cracking from the inside

This effect can be seen in Dearborn, Michigan. In the rise of fringe voices like Nick Fuentes. In the Epstein scandal, where powerful people could not seem to locate a single accountable adult. These stories are different in content but identical in message: The system protects itself, not you.

When people feel ignored or betrayed, they will align with anyone who appears willing to fight on their behalf. That does not mean they suddenly agree with everything that person says. It means they feel abandoned by the institutions that were supposed to be trustworthy.

The Bubba effect is what fills that vacuum.

The dangers of a faithless system

A republic cannot survive without credibility. Congress cannot oversee intelligence agencies if it refuses to discipline its own members. The military cannot remain apolitical if its chain of command becomes optional. The judiciary cannot defend the Constitution while inventing loopholes that erase the separation of powers.

History shows that once a nation militarizes politics, normalizes constitutional shortcuts, or allows government agencies to operate without scrutiny, it does not return to equilibrium peacefully. Something will give.

The question is what — and when.

The responsibility now belongs to us

In a healthy country, this is where the media steps in. This is where universities, pastors, journalists, and cultural leaders pause the outrage machine and explain what is at stake. But today, too many see themselves not as guardians of the republic, but of ideology. Their first loyalty is to narrative, not truth.

The founders never trusted the press more than the public. They trusted citizens who understood their rights, lived their responsibilities, and demanded accountability. That is the antidote to the Bubba effect — not rage, but citizenship.

How to respond without breaking ourselves

Do not riot. Do not withdraw. Do not cheer on destruction just because you dislike the target. That is how nations lose themselves. Instead, demand transparency. Call your representatives. Insist on consequences. Refuse to normalize constitutional violations simply because “everyone does it.” If you expect nothing, you will get nothing.

Do not hand your voice to the loudest warrior simply because he is swinging a bat at the establishment. You do not beat corruption by joining a different version of it. You beat it by modeling the country you want to preserve: principled, accountable, rooted in truth.

Every republic reaches a moment when historians will later say, “That was the warning.” We are living in ours. But warnings are gifts if they are recognized. Institutions bend. People fail. The Constitution can recover — if enough Americans still know and cherish it.

It does not take a majority. Twenty percent of the country — awake, educated, and courageous — can reset the system. It has happened before. It can happen again.

Wake up. Stand up. Demand integrity — from leaders, from institutions, and from yourself. Because the Bubba effect will not end until Americans reclaim the duty that has always belonged to them: preserving the republic for the next generation.

Warning: Stop letting TikTok activists think for you

Spencer Platt / Staff | Getty Images

Bad-faith attacks on Israel and AIPAC warp every debate. Real answers emerge only when people set aside scripts and ask what serves America’s long-term interests.

The search for truth has always required something very much in short supply these days: honesty. Not performative questions, not scripted outrage, not whatever happens to be trending on TikTok, but real curiosity.

Some issues, often focused on foreign aid, AIPAC, or Israel, have become hotbeds of debate and disagreement. Before we jump into those debates, however, we must return to a simpler, more important issue: honest questioning. Without it, nothing in these debates matters.

Ask questions because you want the truth, not because you want a target.

The phrase “just asking questions” has re-entered the zeitgeist, and that’s fine. We should always question power. But too many of those questions feel preloaded with someone else’s answer. If the goal is truth, then the questions should come from a sincere desire to understand, not from a hunt for a villain.

Honest desire for truth is the only foundation that can support a real conversation about these issues.

Truth-seeking is real work

Right now, plenty of people are not seeking the truth at all. They are repeating something they heard from a politician on cable news or from a stranger on TikTok who has never opened a history book. That is not a search for answers. That is simply outsourcing your own thought.

If you want the truth, you need to work for it. You cannot treat the world like a Marvel movie where the good guy appears in a cape and the villain hisses on command. Real life does not give you a neat script with the moral wrapped up in two hours.

But that is how people are approaching politics now. They want the oppressed and the oppressor, the heroic underdog and the cartoon villain. They embrace this fantastical framing because it is easier than wrestling with reality.

This framing took root in the 1960s when the left rebuilt its worldview around colonizers and the colonized. Overnight, Zionism was recast as imperialism. Suddenly, every conflict had to fit the same script. Today’s young activists are just recycling the same narrative with updated graphics. Everything becomes a morality play. No nuance, no context, just the comforting clarity of heroes and villains.

Bad-faith questions

This same mindset is fueling the sudden obsession with Israel, and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in particular. You hear it from members of Congress and activists alike: AIPAC pulls the strings, AIPAC controls the government, AIPAC should register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The questions are dramatic, but are they being asked in good faith?

FARA is clear. The standard is whether an individual or group acts under the direction or control of a foreign government. AIPAC simply does not qualify.

Here is a detail conveniently left out of these arguments: Dozens of domestic organizations — Armenian, Cuban, Irish, Turkish — lobby Congress on behalf of other countries. None of them registers under FARA because — like AIPAC — they are independent, domestic organizations.

If someone has a sincere problem with the structure of foreign lobbying, fair enough. Let us have that conversation. But singling out AIPAC alone is not a search for truth. It is bias dressed up as bravery.

If someone wants to question foreign aid to Israel, fine. Let’s have that debate. But let’s ask the right questions. The issue is not the size of the package but whether the aid advances our interests. What does the United States gain? Does the investment strengthen our position in the region? How does it compare to what we give other nations? And do we examine those countries with the same intensity?

The real target

These questions reflect good-faith scrutiny. But narrowing the entire argument to one country or one dollar amount misses the larger problem. If someone objects to the way America handles foreign aid, the target is not Israel. The target is the system itself — an entrenched bureaucracy, poor transparency, and decades-old commitments that have never been re-examined. Those problems run through programs around the world.

If you want answers, you need to broaden the lens. You have to be willing to put aside the movie script and confront reality. You have to hold yourself to a simple rule: Ask questions because you want the truth, not because you want a target.

That is the only way this country ever gets clarity on foreign aid, influence, alliances, and our place in the world. Questioning is not just allowed. It is essential. But only if it is honest.

The melting pot fails when we stop agreeing to melt

Spencer Platt / Staff | Getty Images

Texas now hosts Quran-first academies, Sharia-compliant housing schemes, and rapidly multiplying mosques — all part of a movement building a self-contained society apart from the country around it.

It is time to talk honestly about what is happening inside America’s rapidly growing Muslim communities. In city after city, large pockets of newcomers are choosing to build insulated enclaves rather than enter the broader American culture.

That trend is accelerating, and the longer we ignore it, the harder it becomes to address.

As Texas goes, so goes America. And as America goes, so goes the free world.

America has always welcomed people of every faith and people from every corner of the world, but the deal has never changed: You come here and you join the American family. You are free to honor your traditions, keep your faith, but you must embrace the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. You melt into the shared culture that allows all of us to live side by side.

Across the country, this bargain is being rejected by Islamist communities that insist on building a parallel society with its own rules, its own boundaries, and its own vision for how life should be lived.

Texas illustrates the trend. The state now has roughly 330 mosques. At least 48 of them were built in just the last 24 months. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex alone has around 200 Islamic centers. Houston has another hundred or so. Many of these communities have no interest in blending into American life.

This is not the same as past waves of immigration. Irish, Italian, Korean, Mexican, and every other group arrived with pride in their heritage. Still, they also raised American flags and wanted their children to be part of the country’s future. They became doctors, small-business owners, teachers, and soldiers. They wanted to be Americans.

What we are watching now is not the melting pot. It is isolation by design.

Parallel societies do not end well

More than 300 fundamentalist Islamic schools now operate full-time across the country. Many use Quran-first curricula that require students to spend hours memorizing religious texts before they ever reach math or science. In Dallas, Brighter Horizons Academy enrolls more than 1,700 students and draws federal support while operating on a social model that keeps children culturally isolated.

Then there is the Epic City project in Collin and Hunt counties — 402 acres originally designated only for Muslim buyers, with Sharia-compliant financing and a mega-mosque at the center. After public outcry and state investigations, the developers renamed it “The Meadows,” but a new sign does not erase the original intent. It is not a neighborhood. It is a parallel society.

Americans should not hesitate to say that parallel societies are dangerous. Europe tried this experiment, and the results could not be clearer. In Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, entire neighborhoods now operate under their own cultural rules, some openly hostile to Western norms. When citizens speak up, they are branded bigots for asserting a basic right: the ability to live safely in their own communities.

A crisis of confidence

While this separation widens, another crisis is unfolding at home. A recent Gallup survey shows that about 40% of American women ages 18 to 39 would leave the country permanently if given the chance. Nearly half of a rising generation — daughters, sisters, soon-to-be mothers — no longer believe this nation is worth building a future in.

And who shapes the worldview of young boys? Their mothers. If a mother no longer believes America is home, why would her child grow up ready to defend it?

As Texas goes, so goes America. And as America goes, so goes the free world. If we lose confidence in our own national identity at the same time that we allow separatist enclaves to spread unchecked, the outcome is predictable. Europe is already showing us what comes next: cultural fracture, political radicalization, and the slow death of national unity.

Stand up and tell the truth

America welcomes Muslims. America defends their right to worship freely. A Muslim who loves the Constitution, respects the rule of law, and wants to raise a family in peace is more than welcome in America.

But an Islamist movement that rejects assimilation, builds enclaves governed by its own religious framework, and treats American law as optional is not simply another participant in our melting pot. It is a direct challenge to it. If we refuse to call this problem out out of fear of being called names, we will bear the consequences.

Europe is already feeling those consequences — rising conflict and a political class too paralyzed to admit the obvious. When people feel their culture, safety, and freedoms slipping away, they will follow anyone who promises to defend them. History has shown that over and over again.

Stand up. Speak plainly. Be unafraid. You can practice any faith in this country, but the supremacy of the Constitution and the Judeo-Christian moral framework that shaped it is non-negotiable. It is what guarantees your freedom in the first place.

If you come here and honor that foundation, welcome. If you come here to undermine it, you do not belong here.

Wake up to what is unfolding before the consequences arrive. Because when a nation refuses to say what is true, the truth eventually forces its way in — and by then, it is always too late.
