Prepare Now Because 'You Will Not Recognize the World in 2022’

Are you ready to face your life-or-death struggle?

All of us must take on the hero’s role as the world changes and chaos grows, Glenn said on radio Thursday. The world where you worked one job for most of your life is long over, and our society will only keep changing in the next few years.

“You will not recognize the world in 2022,” Glenn predicted, explaining why we need to be prepared now. “This is where the main character in every story faces his life or death struggle,” he said.

You can reduce chaos by revisiting your beliefs and knowing firmly not only what you believe but also why you believe it. The next generation is struggling partly because they weren’t given that secure foundation.

“Our children right now are failing” and leaving traditions because “they believe that we have lied to them,” Glenn asserted. “They go out and they see the bad things that are happening in the world that we didn’t prepare them for.”

GLENN: Let's start with news that actually means something to you. The UN has issued a, quote, early warning over the racial conditions in the United States. Now, this is a really rare move. And it's usually used to signal the potential of a looming civil war or conflict. The report has come from the UN commission specifically mentioning the incident in Charlottesville, stating that, quote, we are alarmed by racist demonstrations with overtly racist slogans, chants, and salutes by white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and the Ku Klux Klan, promoting white supremacy and inciting racial discrimination and-haired. Now, this is according to the head of the committee at the UN. Now, these types of warnings are usually reserved for countries that are gripped by ethnic and religious strife, places like Burundi and Nigeria and Iraq and the Ivory Coast.

That's where we are today, America. The UN is alarmed over the demonstrations by a very tiny refraction of the population here in America, in the country that has the longest-working Constitution in the world, at over 228 years since its ratification. Nobody has even come close. This is the country that the UN feels they need to focus on?

There's a couple of things. First, let me address this: It's time to shudder the United Nations. Close it up. Send it back to Europe. Stop paying for it.

Then we need to return to the values and the principles that made the constitutional -- the Constitution the most powerful document ever created by man: completely reject the idiocy of tiny racist fragments. And that includes the white supremacists and the black supremacists. Anybody -- may I -- dare I say, La Raza, translation the race. Anyone who is basing their politics on race must be dismissed, as well as the politically correct lunacy that is infecting our society. And if your media source is not telling you this today, then perhaps it's time you find a new media source. We begin, right now.

GLENN: I believe -- and I told you this last week. And as I have been looking at my own company, as I've been looking at myself as a dad, as a father, as a guy who is trying to figure things out, and I'm trying to figure out the path to the future and the -- and the path that leads to stability. I've really believe to this place and this understanding that there is no stability in our near future. It's not going to happen.

In fact -- and this has nothing to do with politics -- stability is the last thing that we can expect, at least in the next five to ten years. Because we are at, not a pivot point, we are at the pivot point.

This is the place where the world pivots. I have been talking about this for a long time. And I have been predicting these things -- not predictions. But just looking at the events of the world and where we were headed and technology. And warning that this was going to be a very painful time. And we are at that pivot point right now.

The world is being redesigned, whether you like it or not. And that is the strife that we're feeling. And there are people up at the top of all industry, of all countries, that are trying to use this chaos to their advantage.

And so we have a choice.

Last night, somebody on the staff wrote to me and said, "Glenn, I -- how can I help?"

And I -- I want to -- I want to read part of my response last night because I think -- I think this goes to everybody, in all of our lives.

I urged this person to make notes on their opinions and their beliefs every single day. What is it you believe?

We're at the "question with boldness" part of our lives. And you're going to be dragged into it kicking and screaming, or you're just going to surrender to that concept: Question with boldness everything. And you're going to walk through it.

One, they're both going to be almost impossibly hard, they will feel at the time. But one will lead to success, and the other will lead to slavery and failure. You have to know what it is you truly believe. And why you believe these things. And not because you were taught or, I don't know, I've always believed that. But why are those things true to you?

You must know them firsthand. Because you're going to need to deliver on them every single day. And you're going to need to do it yourself.

The more self-reliant you are -- and this goes in every single business and every single family, every single role on earth. The more self-reliant you are, the better chance of success and survival you will have.

The days of long careers are over. The days of -- of big staffs and secretaries and all of that stuff, those are all over.

By 2022, the world is going to dramatically change. You will not recognize the world in 2022.

Chaos is our immediate future. We are now at the beginning of the middle. And this is where the main character in every story faces his life or death struggle. This is the point where the apex of the struggle is found and the decision that the characters make in that part of that story leads you to the end.

So we're at the beginning now of the middle. We've been writing the -- the opening of this story for the last 20 years. Maybe longer.

But the middle is going to be written quickly. And it's being written every single day.

Chaos right now is happening all around us. And it is the underlying tension that you're feeling. But it can be used to your advantage.

Now, it can be used for good, or it can be used for evil. And right now, we're seeing people use chaos mainly for evil. They are -- especially in politics. Power and the power centers are using chaos to rewrite history and realign the base of their power. That's what's really happening on the streets.

Now, your question that you need to answer, all of us need to answer is: How can I use this chaos, this time to bring a peaceful revolution? How can I use this time to do good instead of evil?

Read Sun Tzu.

Right now, our enemies are using -- using the force of chaos in their favor. We have to use that same force to our advantage. We have to prepare, we have to read, we have to push our mind. We have to think in new and different ways.

You have almost an impossible task. You have to remain young at heart and yet firm in resolve. Your heart needs to be soft, and your resolve needs to be hard. Really difficult.

But I believe, for me at least, the only way you can do this is to take everything you know and throw it away. Learn it from the ground level, as if you were a space alien and you were coming in for the very first time.

I'm going to show you in a minute how to do this.

What -- what have you been challenged on recently, that you -- you challenged yourself, you went and said, "I don't know if this is really true. I've just always been taught this?"

When I told you about the Confederate constitution not being about state's rights by any stretch of the imagination -- and I said, "Don't take my word for it, go read it yourself."

Did you? Did you read it? Have you ever read it? Because you need to know that and not know that because some dope on the radio told you. You need to know it.

Our children right now are failing. They're failing, and they're leaving their traditions because they believe that we have lied to them. Because they see that this isn't working. And then they go out and they see the bad things that are happening in the world that we didn't prepare them for.

We sheltered them from all of the bad things, and then we didn't know the bad things ourself. We were -- we will talk about a glorious flag. But we will not teach them about the horrors that this country was involved in.

You can't have the glories of America without its failings. And when they go out and they hear somebody talking about things that they can go out and quickly research and verify, that, yeah, that did happen -- and mom and dad or the teachers or the media source or -- or whomever didn't tell them that, didn't prepare -- all of a sudden, they think we're liars.

In three months, in as little as three months, by Christmastime -- and I don't think this is true. And I'm always wrong on timing. And I hope I'm wrong on this. I don't believe this is true. But I do believe this is a possibility, that by Christmastime, we could be fighting a civil war or a global war or perhaps both of them.

Please, please, I beg you to take that warning to heart. I pray that I am wrong. But it is coming. I don't know when. But it is coming.

A giant reset of the entire world is coming. And it's going to come, and it's going to come crashing down on our heads, unless giants to begin to rise. Now, what is a giant?

When we first got into the Iraqi War, I said, "Look for the man who will be on the postage stamp. Look for the Iraqi that will be on the postage stamp." Well, there was never one that rose up. There was never that self-sacrificing guy who galvanized behind the idea of freedom. And that's why Iraq is a failed state.

But what is a hero? A hero is -- a hero is somebody that just doesn't forget what's right and true. That's it. That's it.

They just know what's right and true, and they refuse to sit down. That is the only difference between us and heroes. But you're not going to be able to sit down when you are surrounded by voices telling you that you are wrong and presenting evidence that maybe perhaps you've never even thought of.

You can be a warrior, and you can stand with the people who will fight on the streets, but those people who will fight on the streets most likely are the same guys who are going to talk about white supremacy and how bad the Jews are or black supremacy. And strangely, how bad the Jews are.

What's your message going to be? What -- how do you build the framework of hope?

Because once hope is lost, the cause is lost. The battle is lost. The war is lost.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Ben Shapiro & Glenn Beck Reveal the TURNING POINT for the Media

The Legacy Media’s time is up and New Media outlets like BlazeTV and the Daily Wire are rising to take their place. Ben Shapiro joins Glenn Beck to make the case that he can pinpoint the exact day that Joe Biden killed the Legacy Media: his disastrous 2024 debate against Donald Trump. “In that moment, the Legacy Media died,” Ben says. “The entire American public was subjected to the reality that these people lie with an agenda. And you can’t put that genie back in the bottle.”

TV

Does This Tape Prove LBJ Killed JFK?

The tape alleging that LBJ ordered JFK's assassination appears to be REAL. Glenn invited the tape's owner, Shane Stevens, to confirm that the digital recording he gave to Alex Jones back in January, 2025, matches the original tape. So, for the first time, he played the chilling confession from the original source live in the studio.

RADIO

Trump Exposes Globalist Lies: Is This the End of Their House of Cards?

President Trump has made it clear: the globalist “house of cards” is trembling under its own weight. But we have a choice: are we going to fear it, or are we going to face it?” Glenn argues that Donald Trump is facing it with a controlled fire, getting rid of all the underbrush and giving us a chance to rebuild and rethink how we live. “We cannot continue to rely on far-off enemies.” We CAN make things again – new things. We can stand on our own two feet. But in order to do that, we must reject the lies and embrace the truth, which many people who hate Donald Trump seem reluctant to do. Why, Glenn asks, do they still give Democratic politicians the benefit of the doubt when they lied to us about ESG, DEI, globalism, COVID’s origins, and so much more? And on top of that, they were “literally stealing from you” through USAID and NGOs?

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So it has been a little frightening this week. And you're looking at things.
And, you know, Donald Trump might seem calloused to some.

Because he will just say, you know, hey. Stop freaking out. Stop freaking out.

And it's easy to say that, as a negotiator. If you're negotiating in a company. And you can say to your staff, behind closed doors. Listen, we are going to do some stuff.

But I'm negotiating. Don't freak out. Anybody freaks out. We will lose the negotiation.

Don't freak out. He's been trying to do that.

But he has to say it on a global stage. Where everybody is watching him.

So he's trying to say, don't freak out. I've got this.

I've got this.

And it's required us to have faith.

And, you know, that's hard to give to a politician. Any politician.

Especially if you didn't vote for that politician. If you don't like Donald Trump. You're not going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

You will think he's destroying the country.

And it's really interesting. Because those who didn't vote for Donald Trump, because they thought he would destroy the country, most likely voted for the last administration.

And it didn't matter that they were literally on the take from one of our enemies.

Literally making millions of dollars, taking money, to influence decisions, from China.

It didn't matter that they were lying. They were cheating. That they were literally stealing from you, now we know, through USAID.

Through all of these NGOs. They were literally stealing from you.

Let alone, lying to you!

Remember when I told you about The Great Reset? Something ESG.

DEI.

All these things that we now are very, very well aware of, and we know. They are absolutely true.

They were implemented by the same people who said they were conspiracy theories.

I mean, that's the one thing I can't get past is the people. How do you get past?

How do you hate Donald Trump so much, that you can still run to the people who have lied to you over and over again?

About things that do matter. You know, when Donald Trump said, I have the biggest -- I had the biggest crowd ever!

It doesn't matter. If he's telling the truth or lying.

Does that matter?

No. We're not. We're not. We're not. Trying to undermine capitalism and go to a global government through ESG and DEI and the World Economic Forum.

That lie matters. That one matters. That one will matter for generations.

That one matters to your children and your grandchildren.

But for some reason, some people will just continue to dismiss that.

I want to remind you, that while we're in this situation, with China. First of all, China is the source of COVID.

Did you see this week, what they came out with, on -- that Biden covered up something we reported on, almost, I mean, within a couple of months of COVID.

We said, you know, we've been doing our homework on this. And there was an event with the global army. And all of the armies around the world, that were kind of war gaming and getting together. And our troops were there too.

And it was all in Wuhan. And they came home, and they were sick.

Remember that? And we were like, that might have been the first kind of outbreak of this.

And everyone called us conspiracy. They just -- they just released the documents that show that Joe Biden that afternoon. It was try.

And they buried it.

So we're dealing with a country like China. Really, really bad. You know that, and I know that.

We are dependent on China now! And that can't happen.

Do you remember what COVID was like, when everybody was like, oh, you can't get that. You can't get that.

You can't get surgical masks, because they're all made in China.

How many times did we, in 2020, 2021, 2022 say, I've never seen this in the United States before.

Wait a minute. There's a shortage of, what?

Okay. We weren't used to that.

Don't forget that. Don't forget that.

Especially when it comes to things like medication and rare earth minerals.

You may not know exactly what rare earth minerals are. Or your friends might not know.

But rare earth minerals are what -- it's going to control the world!

You don't have access to rare earth minerals, you can't make batteries or chips.

Okay? Nothing! China is buying them up from all over the world.

And we have created this country, where we can't even mine our own rare earth minerals, and underneath some of our mountains, we have more rare earth minerals than every place in the world combined!

But our government has shut that off. Now, why?

Again, may I remind you of what we just came out of.

The Cloward and Piven strategy. Cloward and Piven were these two university professors, back in the '60s. And when I first brought them up, back in the early 2000s, everybody was like, that's crazy.

She's just a sweet old lazy lady.

She didn't mean any of that stuff.

Yes, she did. Yes, she did.

She was the one at the White House, with Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. That did the motor voter law.

That was her. Why?

Get people, everybody who is registered for a license. Get them registered to vote.

The whole thing -- her whole plan with her husband, Cloward and Piven, the whole thing was to collapse America. Economically.

Overwhelm the system, and collapse it economically.

We're dealing with that reality.

Okay?

Whether it's intentional or not.

We all know, we all know, you look back -- I look at this world, and you see, my gosh.

It's just a sprawling, chaotic system, that we've all been swept up in.

And it has strangely worked in many ways, until it doesn't work.

Because of his something like COVID.

And then all falls apart.

And you look at everything that we're doing. The endless wars.

The draining of our spirit.

And our resources. With these endless wars. Government spending like there's absolutely no tomorrow.

Printing money, until it feels like Monopoly cash. Globalism, that has left us leaning on our enemies, for things as basic as medicine and rare earth minerals.

Elites in our universities. And now running our schools. That are destroying our children, by teaching them to be victims.

And not teaching them how to empower themselves, by learning how to think!

Worst of all, the global governments. The World Economic Forum.

The WHO. The United Nations.

All of those things that have said to us, for years. No. We're not doing that. We're not doing that.

And now we know that they have been doing that. And with our help, from the elites in our own governments. And they have redesigned the world.

They have infiltrated a compliant press, that denies the truth.

They are continually defying common sense.

And they are defying the -- the will of the people. Openly.

Openly. Destroying our nations.

Destroying our history.

Our unity. Now arresting those who dare stand against them.

Whether it's the guy down the street on the school board or at the school board meeting. That is like, hey. You guys are all crooks. What are you doing to my kids?

Those who are protesting rape gangs in England.

Actual leaders running for higher office against the machine in France and Romania.

They tried to do it here.

This is all a house of cards.

And it's trembling under its own weight. And deep down. Every single one of us know it.

One way or another.

We all know it. Whether you're in denial or not, that's up to you. Even those on the left, the ones who have been loudest about keeping it going, all along. The ones who are now protesting and burning Tesla. Unless you're a useful idiot. Unless you're someone who is like, yeah. Our side is always right.

I will burn down a Tesla factory.

Unless you're just a useful idiot, you know, this is not about what's right and wrong.

This is about keeping the decline of this nation, and the entire West, on that path.

Because the elites, some of those that are tied to the last president, and his circle. Pushed this idea, of the Great Reset.

Which is a managed decline.

They see the cracks, just as much as I do. They're trying to control the fall, so they can control our future.

They know there's too much money to be lost. So let's get together with all the big banks. And the big corporations.

And finding out more and more. Our CIA. And everybody else.

And we will manage this collapse, keep the people down. Keep the people quiet. And then we will control everything, and we will reset. That's -- that's not -- God didn't give you the right to do that! God didn't give anybody for anybody to do that to a whole population of people!

So this is what we've been fighting against. And now Donald Trump is standing up and saying, that is so deep and metastasized. To save it, we have to turn this thing 180 -- this is the world's largest aircraft carrier, ever in the imagined nation of mankind. It's like an imperial stormtrooper ship. You know, of a -- of a -- you know, of an aircraft carrier.

Practically half a continent. And you have to turn that thing around!

So let me talk to you about fear.

Just that, should scare the hell out of all of you. Every single one of us, it should scare our children and our children's children. It should scare everybody within the sound of my voice. Because you know it's true!

There is trouble, whether it's intended or not, this doesn't work anymore!

Okay?

And basis we got off common sense. And common values.

Now the question is: Are you going to fear it, or are you going to face it?

And that's really what this election, I think was about. At least for me!

I see one guy who is willing to stand up and say the truth, and then actually follow through with action.

I don't see politicians follow through with action. He is actually not afraid of doing it! I'm not afraid of the truth.

You shouldn't be afraid of the truth. The truth will set us all free!

It's scarier to pretend it's not there!

Yeah. It's going to be tough. It's going to be really tough. We have some hard times ahead of us. There's no sugarcoating.

Nobody should sugarcoat that.

But it's, what is the goal at the end?

Is it for the elites to control everything?

Or is it to give you power?

Because both of them are risky. Both of them could end in violent revolution.

Both of them could fail.

But I know which side I want to win. I want the side that says, hey. These values are worth fighting for, and trying to save.

And it might be our World War II. It might be our Great Depression.

It might be our Civil War. But I would rather take that on, then pass it on to my children. Because I would have my children to have the opportunity sooner rather than later to be free.

The system has been running on fumes. And when it finally sputters out, we're going to feel the jolt, one way or another.

What's been happening this week, is dedicated people, who know what's going on. That says, okay.

I don't want the pain.

But I would rather take it on my shoulders now, than pass it on my kids.

Because we might be able to save it now, if we're honest about what we're facing.

Let me carry the load. Let me mess with the mess that we've made. So they don't have to!

Because a controlled fire is good!

Forest fires are good too, in the end. Long run. But a controlled fire is good.

It gets rid of all the underbrush. And it actually replenishes the soil, so something good could grow. And some controlled burns are going to happen. We have a chance here to rebuild, to rethink how we live.

We cannot continue to rely on far off enemies. We have to start looking closer to home. To our own soil.

To our own hands. To our own people.

We can make things again.

Not the things we made in the past.

We're never going back to those days.

Something new and better is on the horizon.

But we can grow things.

We can stand on our own 2 feet. It's time to say, you're 25 years old. You're not a kid. Adolescence now. Adolescence now lasts until you're 25!

In George Washington's time, you were an adult when you were 13!

Are we getting better or weaker? This is not going to be easy. But what is the -- what's at the end, will either be completely bogus, or real again.

And somewhere inside of me, I know we're not done yet.

World has been through collapse before, empires fall, systems crumble.

But the ones who make it, are the ones who dust themselves off.

So I am for one, willing to take the hit.

I am willing to grit my teeth. Because I believe in what's on the other side.

And I know it's -- you can say it's easy for you to say, Glenn. But I only succeed when you succeed.

I get paid a salary because you have the money to buy things that we advertise. So if you don't succeed, I don't succeed.

I lose everything too. I just want to encourage you to pray on this, this weekend.

And -- and find the strength to at least face the truth. And turn the page.

Because it's not just about survival.

It's a new start!

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Why Trump Must ANNIHILATE Mexico’s Cartels Like ISIS | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 253

Ravaged by political corruption, decades of mass murder, unfettered human trafficking, and a spiraling fentanyl crisis, Mexico is a “fragile narco-state,” says Brandon Darby, co-founder of Breitbart’s Border and Cartel Chronicles. While Mexican media and journalists are silenced by fear of cartel retribution, Darby has spent years exposing atrocities like the mass graves found miles from our southern border, giving a voice to a nation ignored and terrorized into silence. Darby criticizes U.S. diplomatic efforts focused on reforming Mexico’s justice system and depicts a U.S.-Mexico border rife with lawlessness and violence, urging Trump to enact border policies that “treat the cartels like we treat al-Qaeda” and not to forget that “China is courting Mexico.”
