Glenn's Show Prep

Glenn: Be ‘Crystal Clear’ — Neo-Nazis ‘Are an Enemy of Mankind’

August 17, 2017
Staff

WRITER

Vice interviewed white supremacists over the weekend in Charlottesville, compiling the interviews in a startling documentary that shows their Tiki-lit march while chanting “Jews will not replace us.”

On Wednesday’s “The Glenn Beck Radio Program,” Glenn Beck and the guys looked at a truly disturbing moment with a white nationalist who wanted a leader “a lot more racist than Donald Trump.” The white supremacist couldn’t believe Trump would “give his daughter to a Jew,” expressing his disgust for Ivanka Trump’s marriage to Jared Kushner.

Glenn compared people who make excuses for white supremacists to those who defended terrorists in the wake of 9/11. The problem with President Donald Trump’s comments on Tuesday about Charlottesville is that he wasn’t clear on condemning these atrocious beliefs.

“You do not defend, excuse or play ‘whataboutism’ with these horrifying comments,” Glenn said. “You hear this; you do not follow this with, ‘Yeah, but you know, the other side.’”

GLENN: Got some good news: There is a black group in Dallas that has vowed to protect the Confederate monuments here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. It is in direct contrast to the way people are acting elsewhere. This black group here in Dallas said, "You know what, they don't affect my life, they're all dead, and it is part of our history."

Should we have perspective on those things? Yeah. Should we just start tearing monuments down? You know, I -- I would suggest that's part of our problem, that we are destroying everything. Remember when I said to you, "Everything that you thought was solid would be liquid, and liquid will be solid?" The entire country is being turned inside out and upside down.

We'll show you, first of all, how that's being done, why that's being done. But by the end of this hour, I think you will also understand who's really behind this. And it's not your neighbor, no matter who they voted for. We begin there, right now.

(music)

Let me give you the story: An anti-Trump activist has been accused of executing his neighbor who was a prominent Republican and Donald Trump supporter. Clayton Carter allegedly shot George Jennings, 51, twice in the head outside of his home in Pennsylvania in the early hours of August 8th.

Clayton Carter, 51, accused of shooting his neighbor, George Jennings.

Now, you can take this story, and you can spin it this way: Clayton had a whole bunch of Donald Trump signs in his front yard.

PAT: Anti-Trump.

GLENN: Or, I'm sorry. Yeah, anti-Trump in his front yard. He's the guy who did the shooting. The neighbor who was shot was pro-Trump. He was pro-G.O.P. They had been going at it forever.

The anti-Trump guy had enough of his neighbor and executed him. Put a bullet in his head. And then as he came down, put a second bullet in his head.

PAT: As his wife looked on.

GLENN: Now, this is the story I could tell. Or I could go a little deeper and say, "Yes. He was a rabid anti-Trump guy." And I could just make a case, "Now, all anti-Trump people are angry and violent and they're all going after their neighbors. If you disagree with them, they'll put a bullet in your head. Because that's how angry they really are." I could get you whipped up into that.

Or I could say, "You know what, there's probably something more." And once you do that homework, you realize this guy is -- the anti-Trump guy is angry all the time about everything. He's a guy who likes, it seems, to be angry. And nobody gets along with him in the neighborhood. And these guys had been arguing for years.

It was the Hatfields and McCoy. We -- we need to stop looking at just the political motivations in things. We also need to stop making generalizations of everyone based on who they voted for. Here's a guy who was anti-Donald Trump. Look, he shot his neighbor -- executed his neighbor. Shot him twice in the head. That's just like those anti-Trump people. Look how angry they all are.

Why are they angry? Why are they angry? And who is making them angry? And why is the left angry? And who is making them angry?

On both sides, I think both sides have a reason to be angry. We can get into whataboutism all you want, but I'm not talking about the fringes. I'm talking about the people that you know. The people that you've been friends with, who are not crazy. Why are they so angry?

Something is playing on them, beyond politics. Now, let me say -- first, I want to separate that group. That's the group of people you know on both sides of the aisle. Then there's another group. And these guys -- these groups deal in anger and rage and hatred.

Vice happened to be in Charlottesville over the weekend. And so they were doing a special on this white nationalist group. This is the alt-right. This is anybody who was, you know, posting little pictures of the frog and -- and, you know, starting -- you're just a cuckservative. That all came from the alt-right. All that language that so many of your friends adopted was started by the alt-right. Now, that doesn't make them an alt-right person. It just means they weren't aware of who these people are. And let's show you who these people are, on both sides.

Listen to this.

VOICE: Jews will not replace us! Jews will not replace us!

GLENN: Jews will not replace us.

VOICE: Jews will not replace us!

PAT: So that's what they're worried about, they're worried about being replaced by Jews. And, you know, who can blame them?

(laughter)

STU: Well, I can blame them.

GLENN: There's 16 million Jews on the planet. They all have to have ten jobs each -- ten full-time jobs each just to cover the jobs in the United States.

PAT: Well, just in America. Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: Just in America. And I'm very concerned about that.

STU: I wouldn't say white nationalists are known for their math. I wouldn't say that's one of their strong suits.

GLENN: Right. Right. Well, they're socialists, so they believe in the big state. So they're probably for Common Core.

STU: Oh.

PAT: I'm worried about the Frisbeetarians. Because they have replaced a lot of people already.

STU: Frisbeetarians?

PAT: Yeah. The people who believe that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and you can't get it back down.

GLENN: Yeah, like a Frisbee.

JEFFY: Yeah.

PAT: Yeah. Yeah.

STU: I've never heard of it.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. No, it's big. It's really big. It's in Clear Water, Florida, I believe. The head of the Frisbeetarian Church.

JEFFY: Yes, it is.

GLENN: But, anyway, we digress.

PAT: Here's more.

VOICE: I'm here to spread idea, talk, in the hopes that somebody more capable will come along and do that, somebody like Donald Trump who does not give his daughter to a Jew.

PAT: Oh, man.

VOICE: So Donald Trump, but, like, more racist?

VOICE: A lot more racist than Donald Trump.

I don't think that you could feel about race the way I do and watch that Kushner bastard walk around with that beautiful girl. Okay?

PAT: Is that unbelievable?

STU: Unreal.

PAT: How do you get to feel that way about Jewish people? How does that happen? I don't even understand the Jewish hate. I don't even get it.

GLENN: You have to be taught. You have to be taught. You're not born with that kind of stuff.

PAT: No. Why would you be? Unless you're Palestinian, and then you've grown up in it, and you've gone to kindergarten and they've taught you all these things.

In America, how does that happen? How does that happen?

GLENN: I have no idea. I have no idea.

PAT: Bizarre.

GLENN: I didn't even know a Jewish person until my agent George Hilsink (phonetic). I mean, I was, what? Thirty? Not that I -- I may have known -- I never like, oh, you're Jewish, what's happened with -- I don't. I'm sure I knew them. I didn't care. We didn't talk about it. It was no big deal.

STU: You treat people as individuals. Which is kind of how you're supposed to do it, I think.

But, I mean, you look at it, and that clip sounds like it's going to be the typical media attack against Donald Trump. And you realize that, you know, that was not what it was at all. That is this guy saying, "You know, Donald Trump isn't going nearly far enough for me." And this is why you want Trump to come out and disassociate himself with these people as strongly as possible.

GLENN: And also --

STU: Look, obviously Donald Trump does not believe what this moron believes. You look at who he's put in his administration, besides his daughter and his --

GLENN: Please tell me there's no more Jews in that.

STU: There's lots of them.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh!

STU: He was doing -- he was behind -- Gary Cohn and Steve Mnuchin were right behind him when he was doing the press conference yesterday.

GLENN: Thank goodness -- he didn't have any black people in, does he?

STU: You know what, yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: Holy cow.

STU: This is stunning.

GLENN: I didn't know. Jews and blacks, both working in the government?

STU: Yeah. Yes. Yes.

PAT: Side by side. Side by side.

GLENN: Holy cow. Holy cow.

STU: This guy is going to be pissed off about it, I'm sure, in this audio.

GLENN: So this is -- again, just showing you --

PAT: It's bizarre.

GLENN: You do not defend, excuse, or play whataboutism.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: The minute you say -- you hear this. No. Stop. You hear this. You do not follow this with, "Yeah, but -- you know, the other side is -- I don't care what the other side is doing. You know what that is? You know what that makes you sound like? Everyone we have railed against since September 11th. "Yes, I'm against the terrorists, but I will tell you that you guys have done -- you stopped listening to those people.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And this is the problem with Donald Trump's speech.

If you are not absolutely crystal clear, these guys are an enemy of not the United States, not of mine. Of mankind.

There's no whataboutism. There's no other side. There's nothing. We're talking about them right now.

PAT: And --

GLENN: Believe me, I'll get to the other side later. We're talking about them. There's no way you stand or dismiss or do anything, but say, "That's poison. I am as far away from that as possible."

STU: And you can watch CNN all day and find -- and anyplace, and find people denouncing white supremacists. Some of them are just doing it hyper partisan, Trump reasons. Some of them are doing it, and they are completely right, word-for-word, I would agree with them. The issue here though is, none of those things mean anything to white supremacies. None of those denunciations coming from CNN or MSNBC mean a thing. It would mean something from Donald Trump. And that's you want him to be so passionate about it, more passionate than a guy leaving your economic council.

GLENN: Right. They don't -- they don't mind being on the fringe. They like being on the fringe. That's where they -- that's the only place they can grow in darkness. The president shining a spotlight on them is really important.

But I really don't care about how they feel. I really don't. What I care about is that we have drawn a very bright line all around them. And said, "Do not cross this line." To our side. To our side.

See this group of people. This is what they believe. Stay a million miles away from them. It's not about them. It's about us.

I'm not going to excuse. I'm not going to play whataboutism, at all. I won't. They're wrong. They're evil. And they are an enemy to humanity.

Next clip, please.

VOICE: Trump wasn't able to beat us. The left, who are the good boys of the capitalist class and the bourgeoisie and the status quo.

GLENN: Okay. Stop for a second. Stop. Hang on just a second.

What was that? What was that? Capitalists?

STU: What word was that? Capitalists?

GLENN: Yeah. What is he saying there, Stu?

STU: Hmm. He seems to be against capitalists.

GLENN: Capitalists.

PAT: Uh-huh. The bourgeoisie.

GLENN: And the bourgeoisie. I'm sorry. The only person I have ever met in my life and have even seen in movies that uses the word "bourgeoisie" are Marxists.

PAT: Well, Marxists and Jeffy, who doesn't like bougie sauce.

JEFFY: Right. Thank you.

STU: That's true.

PAT: He uses that on a regular basis, but not the entire word. Because he doesn't know it.

GLENN: Right. Right.

STU: But you're right. The bourgeoisie -- this is -- and it's an attack used, by the way, as people you might know as national socialists.

PAT: Yeah.

STU: They don't like capitalism. They crushed it --

GLENN: So wait a minute. By listening and exposing these people, you now can see in their own language, when they say "alt-right," they mean alternate right, as in defining the word alternate, a replacement of the right. They cannot co-exist with the right because they do not believe in the Constitution. They believe in a Marxist, socialist, heavy government state.

They have nothing to do with us. Draw a bright line around that.

Did Democrats just betray fair elections? The SAVE Act controversy explained

DOMINIC GWINN / Contributor | Getty Images

One of President Trump’s key campaign promises, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, faces fierce opposition from Democrats in the Senate.

The SAVE Act recently passed Congress for the second time and is now headed to the Senate. This voter security bill mandates proof of U.S. citizenship for all federal elections. It garnered unanimous Republican support in Congress but was backed by only four Democrats, consistent with last year’s Senate rejection of the bill.

Glenn has repeatedly emphasized the urgency of securing our elections, warning that without reform in the next four years, free and fair elections may become a thing of the past. However, the SAVE Act faces significant hurdles. Republicans lack the Senate votes to overcome a filibuster, meaning the bill’s fate hinges on bipartisan support—something Democrats have been reluctant to offer.

So, what exactly does the SAVE Act do? Why are Democrats opposing it? And how can you help ensure its passage?

What the SAVE Act Entails

Stefan Zaklin / Stringer | Getty Images

The SAVE Act is straightforward: it requires voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship before casting a ballot in federal elections. This measure responds to reports of voter fraud, including allegations of noncitizens, such as illegal immigrants, voting in past presidential elections. Acceptable forms of identification include a REAL ID, U.S. passport, military ID, birth certificate, or other specified documents.

Additionally, the bill mandates that states remove noncitizens from voter rolls and lists of eligible voters. It also establishes criminal penalties for officials who fail to comply with these new guidelines.

Democrats’ Opposition to the SAVE Act

Democrats have strongly criticized the SAVE Act, arguing it discriminates against women, transgender individuals, and minorities. They claim that people who have changed their names—such as women after marriage or transgender individuals—may struggle to vote if their current ID doesn’t match their birth certificate. However, the bill allows multiple forms of identification beyond birth certificates, meaning affected individuals can use updated IDs like a REAL ID or passport.

The argument that minorities are disproportionately harmed is slightly more substantiated. A recent survey showed that 93 percent of voting-age Black Americans, 94 percent of voting-age Hispanics, and 95 percent of voting-age Native Americans have valid photo IDs, compared to 97% of voting-age whites and 98 percent of voting-age Asians. However, in 2024, only about 58 percent of the voting-age population cast ballots—a trend that has been consistent for decades. There’s little evidence that Americans are prevented from voting due to a lack of ID. Instead of opposing the bill, a more constructive approach would be to assist the small percentage of Americans without IDs in obtaining proper documentation.

How You Can Make a Difference

The stakes couldn’t be higher—free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. Conservatives must rally to ensure the SAVE Act becomes law. Contact your Senators to express your support for the bill and highlight its importance in safeguarding electoral integrity. Grassroots efforts, such as sharing accurate information about the SAVE Act on social media or discussing it with friends and family, can amplify its visibility. Local advocacy groups may also offer opportunities to organize or participate in campaigns that pressure lawmakers to act. Every voice counts, and collective action could tip the scales in favor of this critical legislation.

Glenn unveils CIA’s grim Dire Wolf conspiracy

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."

-Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park

The monstrous Dire Wolf, extinct for 10,000 years, has returned. This larger, ancient wolf species—popularized by HBO’s Game of Thrones—was resurrected by Colossal Laboratories, a Dallas-based bioscience company. Colossal utilized both preserved ancient Dire Wolf DNA and modern gray wolf DNA combined with some clever gene-crafting and a healthy pinch of hubris to create three approximations of the ancient canine.

While the wolves posed for a photoshoot alongside Game of Thrones props and its creator, Colossal’s broader plans remain unclear. However, what Glenn recently uncovered about the company is far more monstrous than the wolves will ever be. Glenn revealed that the CIA, through a nonprofit group known as In-Q-Tel, is funding Colossal's endeavors to bring back all sorts of extinct beasts. With the recently released JFK Files exposing the CIA’s unchecked power, Glenn warns of the dangerous potential behind this genetic manipulation—and the rogue agency’s possible motives.

Here are the top three most horrifying uses the CIA could have for this technology:

Dual-Use Technology

Colossal and other biotech firms advertise a variety of "civilian" uses for bioengineered beasts, including research subjects, exotic zoos, and even climate restoration. As dubious as those uses are, Glenn revealed that the CIA could be cooking up something much worse. Gene-editing tools like CRISPR are inherently dual-purpose and easily adaptable for military use. As one of Colossal’s major investors, the CIA gains prime access to cutting-edge biotech, likely eyeing its potential for warfare.

Frankenstein’s Spy Lab

Like AI, one can only guess at the maximum capabilities of this gene-editing technology. On air, Glenn speculated about bioengineered resilient organisms, animals with tweaked senses designed for espionage or combat in areas inaccessible to drones or humans. Playing God to create new weapons of war sounds right up the CIA's alley.

Even worse than man-made mutant mutts, Glenn pointed out that these augmentations are by no means limited to animals. We could see (or rather, hear unverified rumors of) the rise of the next generation of super soldier projects. Human experimentation is not outside of the CIA's scope (think MKUltra), and genetically or chemically augmented humans have been a pipe dream for many a clandestine organization for decades. Is there anything more horrifying than an agency with as little oversight as the CIA in control of something as powerful and potentially devastating as gene-augmentation?

Eco-Warfare Unleashed

MARCELO MANERA / Contributor | Getty Images

Why attack a single target when you could attack an entire ecosystem instead?

Anyone who has had to deal with the destructive effects of fire ants knows how dangerous an invasive species can be to the human, plant, and animal inhabitants of any given region. Now imagine genetically engineered Dire Wolves or Woolly Mammoths unleashed by the CIA to cripple an enemy’s agriculture or environment. Such a weapon could inflict irreparable damage from a distance. Even the mere threat of eco-warfare might serve as a deterrent, though its unpredictability could reshape the world in ways we can’t control or repair.

Trump’s Liberation day unveiled: 3 shocking takeaways you need to know

Andrew Harnik / Staff | Getty Images

President Trump’s new tariffs have sparked global outrage, and even conservatives are divided over the merits of his plan.

On Wednesday, April 2, 2025, President Trump declared "Liberation Day" to usher in a new era for the American economy. This bold initiative began with the introduction of sweeping tariffs on most—if not all—countries trading with the United States. These tariffs are reciprocal, meaning the percentage charged to each country mirrors the tariffs they impose on U.S. goods. The goal was to level the playing field between America and its trade partners.

As Glenn predicted, these tariffs have caused some immediate damage to the economy; the stock market has been hit hard, and China has already imposed a retaliatory tariff. While many fear that a recession is inbound, along with a global trade war, others are trusting in Trump's plan, keeping their head and preparing to ride out this rough patch.

So, what exactly are these "Liberation Day" tariffs, and what happened on April 2? Here are the top three takeaways:

Baseline Tariff

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

To kick off Liberation Day, the White House unveiled a baseline tariff affecting all imports to the U.S. Starting April 5, 2025, every good entering the United States will face a 10% tariff, regardless of its country of origin. While some nations face additional tariffs on top of this baseline, others—like the UK, Australia, and Argentina—only pay the 10% rate. These countries enjoy this leniency because they impose relatively low tariffs on American goods.

Reciprocal Tariffs

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

For the countries that levied heavy tariffs against America, Trump hit them back hard. Cambodia, for instance, now faces a steep 49% tariff, while China contends with 34%, the EU with 20%, and Iraq with 39%. While these tariff rates may seem steep, they are all a good bit lower than the rates they apply against the U.S (see the full chart here). Trump’s strategy is to make foreign goods prohibitively expensive, encouraging manufacturing and jobs to return to American soil. Whether this gamble succeeds remains to be seen.

Canada and Mexico

Notably absent from the "Liberation Day" tariff list are Canada and Mexico, America’s closest neighbors. That’s because Trump already imposed tariffs on them earlier this year. In February 2025, he slapped a 25% tariff on most goods imported from both countries to pressure them into curbing the flow of fentanyl across U.S. borders. Exceptions include agricultural products, textiles, apparel, and other items protected under NAFTA.

Does France's latest move PROVE lawfare is on the rise?

Sam Tarling / Stringer | Getty Images

An all-too-familiar story unfolded in France this week: the is law being weaponized against a "far-right" candidate. Does that ring a bell?

Glenn was taken aback earlier this week when he learned that Marine Le Pen, a popular French conservative, had been banned from the 2027 election following a controversial conviction. The ruling shocked French conservatives and foreign politicians alike, many of whom saw Le Pen as France’s best conservative hope. President Trump called it a "very big deal," a view shared by French commentators who fear this marks the end of Le Pen’s political career.

But this isn’t just about France—it’s a symptom of a larger threat looming over the West.

A double standard?

Fmr. President Sarkozy (left) and Fmr. Prime Minister Fillon (right)

BERTRAND GUAY / Contributor, Chesnot / Contributor | Getty Images

As of Sunday, March 30, 2025, Marine Le Pen led the polls with a commanding edge over her rivals, offering French conservatives their strongest shot at the presidency in years. Hours later, that hope crumbled. Found guilty of embezzling EU funds, Le Pen was sentenced to two years of house arrest, fined €100,000 ($108,200), and banned from public office for five years, effective immediately.

Glenn quickly highlighted an apparent double standard. Former President Nicolas Sarkozy and former Prime Minister François Fillon faced similar—or worse—corruption charges, yet neither was barred from office during their political runs. So why Le Pen, and why now? Similar to Trump’s "hush money" trial, legal troubles this late in the election cycle reek of interference. The decision should belong to voters—France’s largest jury—not a courtroom. This appears to be a grave injustice to the French electorate and another crack in democracy’s foundation.

This is NOT about France

Andrei Pungovschi / Stringer | Getty Images

This pattern stretches far beyond France; it’s a tactic we’ve seen before.

In early 2025, Bucharest’s streets erupted in protest after Romania’s Constitutional Court annulled the first round of its presidential election. Călin Georgescu, a rising conservative, had clinched an unexpected victory, only to have it stripped away amid baseless claims of Russian interference. His supporters raged against the decision, seeing it as a theft of their voice.

Both Georgescu and Le Pen echo the legal barrage President Trump endured before his 2024 win. The Left hurled every weapon imaginable at him, unleashing unprecedented lawfare. In America, the Constitution held, and the people’s will prevailed.

Now, with Tesla vandalism targeting Elon Musk’s free-speech stance, a coordinated pushback against freedom is clear—spanning France, Romania, the U.S., and beyond.

The war on free will

Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images

Trump’s 2024 victory doesn’t mean lawfare is dead; Europe shows it’s thriving.

France and Romania prove its effectiveness, sidelining candidates through courts rather than ballots. Glenn warned us about this years ago—when the powerful can’t win at the polls, they turn to the gavel. It’s a chilling trend of stripping voters of their choice and silencing dissent, all the while pawning it off as justice. The playbook is polished and ready, and America’s turn could come sooner than we think.
