National media has already made Colorado shooter into a pro-life killer

November 30, 2015

Writer

Although many of the facts have yet to be revealed from the tragic shooting in Colorado, some in the media already have him pegged. Not surprisingly, the national media has characterized him as a pro-life conservative.

Today, Glenn and crew broke down what we do know about the man, and the truth points to something completely different. The truth reveals a very disturbed man with a history of inflicting pain on animals and other human beings. The truth points toward him being a mentally ill psychopath.

Watch a segment from the program below:

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

GLENN: Yeah, this guy in Colorado Springs, he has nothing to do with the pro-life movement. He has nothing to do with that. Yes, he does. Of course, he does.

STU: We don't know that yet. With the Colorado shooter, we don't have that information yet.

GLENN: No, I got that from the news.

STU: No, we don't have that. The police have not released that yet.

GLENN: No, the news has already made him into a pro-life killer.

STU: Oh, believe me, that's definitely true. The New York Times has a big story on it where the first line of the story is, "Even as authorities say they remain uncertain what precisely led a gunman to attack a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs on Friday," and then an entire column about why this should be applied to conservatives. Like why it's their fault. Why it's something we have to really look at.

Look at the rhetoric, and the political discourse really needs to be looked at. Yet again. It's always on that side. Every time there's something that can be tied to conservatives, it's a reason to look at our political discourse and how harsh it is. Not to even mention, we've been blaming police officers for just wanton murder of black people all over the country. At will, they're just gunning people down constantly in the eyes of the media. That never leads to anything. But it's all about abortion clinic bombings and shootings. Again, we're talking about eight deaths in 40 years.

GLENN: And that includes the three this weekend.

STU: If they do wind up applying.

PAT: And none of them were employees or patients of the clinic. None of them.

GLENN: We're trying to get a hold of -- I want to talk to a local reporter because I just don't trust the national news.

PAT: This is so weird. Because I'm -- I keep seeing from people on Facebook, on my Facebook page, that the shootings didn't even happen at the abortion clinic.

GLENN: Yeah. He had run -- this is what I had heard. That he had run -- he shot -- blood was everywhere. And he ran into the abortion clinic.

PAT: Right. At the end of this thing.

STU: That's where he went to hide out.

PAT: But I can't find that fact in a single story that I read. Have you?

GLENN: I saw it early on.

STU: That he ran in afterwards. I definitely did see that. I want to say it's the Washington Post. I read it yesterday. Find the exact wording of it. But it was worded just like that. This shooting happened. And then he went into Planned Parenthood afterwards. And that's why a lot of people were speculating because there's a bank next door. That it was a bank robbery early --

GLENN: I had that it was a bank robbery.

STU: I don't think that's the case. There's no evidence other than speculation.

GLENN: That's what I had heard early on. When it first broke, that's what they were saying.

STU: Yes.

GLENN: But this guy was not a conservative. This guy was not a religious guy.

STU: Well, we don't know what he was -- it doesn't look like it though.

PAT: No, he's a peeping Tom charged with animal cruelty for shooting a dog with a pellet gun. Those charges were dropped. Accused of domestic violence and threatening numerous others with violence. His voter registration listed him as a woman. Don't know why. You know, I don't know -- he doesn't look like he's transgendered. Some have speculated that he is. But I think there's little evidence of that. He's not a registered Republican. He's not a practicing Christian. He legally bought the guns. He's a big-time pot smoker. He's apparently into partying with women in bondage and all of that stuff. He's not a Christian. Whether or not he's pro-life, I don't know. But he didn't shoot abortion clinic workers or their patients. So...

GLENN: I have news for you. How a guy is a pothead S&M, bondage, party freak --

PAT: Animal cruelty guy. Peeping Tom.

GLENN: Animal cruelty.

PAT: He's not a Christian.

GLENN: But it also doesn't square with, he really cares about babies. Animal cruelty.

PAT: That's true.

GLENN: Animal cruelty?

STU: That's a good point.

GLENN: This guy is a psycho. When you get into animal cruelty -- remember Jeffy, we had those kids down in Florida, this was 15 years ago that were beating animals --

JEFFY: The llama.

GLENN: The llama with the golf club or whatever. And we made a big deal out of it, that those kids should be charged as an adult because you don't beat an animal to death. That is the first sign of a psycho. That is the first sign -- every psychopath, it has always been like, "Well, they should have known when he beat the animal to death with a golf club." Yeah, you should have known. You should have known. Here's another case. This guy is out shooting animals with a BB gun for fun. He's shooting a dog for fun. That's the sign of a psycho, man. That's not the sign of a Christian. That's a psycho.

And it shows also a pattern. He's inflicting pain on an animal. Then in his sexual habits, he likes to inflict pain.

PAT: No. Not a pro-life guy.

GLENN: This is not a pro-life guy. This is not a Christian. This is a psychopath.

PAT: It's also possible that this -- you know, the other thing they're trying to throw around today especially is that he ranted about "no more baby parts." Well, it's very likely that's coming from Planned Parenthood people. I don't put a lot of stock in that. Who knows if he was there with anything to do with Planned Parenthood or anything they've been doing. There's just no -- we've seen no concrete evidence. The police certainly haven't confirmed.

GLENN: Especially if he shot people off that and then ran in for a hideout. I would not put it past Planned Parenthood.

PAT: Not at all. Not at all. They're liars to begin with.

GLENN: He might have come in and said, "You got any body parts around here?" He might have said something about that.

PAT: Might have.

GLENN: Ranting about body parts. What does that even mean?

STU: My understanding is that -- at least the reports are that he said that to the officers. That's what they're saying. I don't know -- again, none of this stuff is fleshed out.

GLENN: None of this excuses his behavior. I want to make it very, very clear. We condemn this guy, no matter if he's an atheist or a Christian. It doesn't matter. We condemn him and everything that he's done.

STU: Oh, absolutely.

GLENN: There's been eight -- if you count these three, there have been eight people that have been killed because of abortion by a -- a pro-life psychopath.

STU: I mean --

GLENN: In 40 years.

STU: Yeah. I mean, obviously a lot of people have made the comparisons to 50 million abortions. That doesn't mean you kill eight people. Obviously. And people who would do or would consider such a thing are awful, horrific people, and you know, the worst people in our society.

But it's such an interesting thing of how you rush to making this into this wave of violence, when really there are -- I don't know if I could name a movement that is politically -- I mean, look at movements overseas. Separatist movements. Think of anything. I mean, you go to environmentalists. They have lots -- I don't know if they have eight murders or not. But it wouldn't surprise me if they did. There certainly have been multiple times they've gone in and taken guns and taken people hostage. They've done lots of terror around businesses and such.

You know, look, eight people. As you point out, 15 people were shot in Chicago and killed -- not that got shot.

GLENN: Yeah, 82 people were shot this last weekend. Eighty-two people were shot in Chicago.

STU: In one weekend.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Eight people over 40 years is -- you want it to be zero, but it's almost impossible to prevent something of that scale.

GLENN: Well, in 40 years, they almost doubled the death toll. They were one shy of doubling the death toll in one weekend in Chicago.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Where should our concern be?

STU: It's a priority. What are you going to focus your energies on? I don't think the pro-life movement is a legitimate target for that. I mean, you know, you --

GLENN: Everything is agenda driven now.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Absolutely everything is agenda driven now.

Legal warfare strikes France's conservative hope

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?

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

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.

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.

How Melania Trump is inspiring the next generation of fashion

First Lady Melania Trump’s impeccable style has long captivated admirers across the globe, but for one young woman, it sparked a creative revolution.

Lorelai, a young Glenn Beck fan who requested a degree of anonymity, first met Glenn while attending America Fest 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona with her grandmother. An aspiring fashion designer and illustrator, Lorelai shared with Glenn some of her sketches of characters from Glenn’s latest book, Chasing Embers. She also explained how Melania Trump became the cornerstone of her artistic journey, inspiring her to craft modest yet beautiful clothing that redefines modern fashion.

Melania Trump’s elegance—stunning, powerful, and undeniably feminine—first captured Lorelai’s attention during the First Lady’s time in the White House. Unlike the casual, often immodest trends dominating her peers’ wardrobes, Melania’s wardrobe exuded grace and sophistication. From tailored coats to flowing gowns, her choices were a masterclass in balancing boldness with dignity, a philosophy that resonated deeply with Lorelai. This admiration grew into inspiration as Lorelai began designing apparel specifically with Melania in mind, aspiring to design pieces that could match the First Lady’s grace. She strove to reflect Melania’s breathtaking style in her sketches in an effort to demonstrate how modesty can be beautiful.

The First Lady’s poised and graceful presence has redefined modesty for the modern era. To Lorelai, the First Lady’s style proves that more fabric offers boundless room for imagination, allowing personality to shine without sacrificing dignity. Melania embodies this perfectly—her fashion commands attention with stunning, memorable elegance. Inspired by this, Lorelai’s mission is to craft clothing for her generation that mirrors Melania’s influence, blending contemporary flair with classic beauty.

After her meeting with Glenn at America Fest, Lorelai’s passion and resolve have only deepened. Through fashion and art, Lorelai hopes to inspire others with the same grace that Melania Trump exemplifies. Below are some of Lorelai's sketches she was eager to share with Glenn.

Melania Trump: First Lady

I really adore First Lady Melania Trump’s grace and timeless beauty. She is extremely intelligent and brave but also strong and poised. Her fashion style displays these traits. I was inspired to create these outfits for our First Lady in hopes that she would see these drawings. -Lorelai

Melania Trump: Lady Liberty

We, as a country, will be celebrating next year our 250th anniversary of independence. The designs that inspired this patriotic gown came from Lady Liberty and Lady Columbia art. I also love our American flag, and this design is a combination of all three. -Lorelai

Chasing Embers Character Art (Ember)

I chose to draw the characters Sky, Azaz and Ember from Glenn Beck and Mikayla G. Hedrick’s Chasing Embers series. -Lorelai

Chasing Embers Concept Art (Ember)

I was inspired to draw a younger and teen version for Sky and Ember. -Lorelai

Chasing Embers Concept Art (Azaz)

I also gave multiple outfits designs for Sky and Azaz. I loved that their personalities and character development meant in my mind a wardrobe development too. -Lorelai

Glenn: Government workers bought luxury cars with YOUR tax dollars

Andrew Harnik / Staff | Getty Images

The deep state isn’t a conspiracy theory — it’s a reality. And the corrupt, free-spending Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service is just one example of how Washington insiders enrich themselves.

A little-known agency in Washington perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with our bloated, corrupt government: the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. It should be the poster child of everything that Elon Musk is exposing.

The agency was established in 1947 under the Labor Management Relations Act to serve as an independent agency mediating disputes between unions and businesses — a noble mission, perhaps. But like so many government institutions, it has rotted into something far removed from its original purpose.

The FMCS goes beyond mismanagement into blatant corruption and theft.

What was once a mechanism for labor stability has morphed into an unchecked slush fund — an exclusive playground for bureaucrats living high on taxpayer dollars.

The FMCS is a textbook case of government waste, an agency that no one was watching, where employees didn’t even bother showing up for work — some hadn’t for years. And yet they still collected paychecks and spent government money — our money — on their personal luxuries.

Luxury cars and cell phone bills

The Department of Government Efficiency discovered how FMCS employees used government credit cards — intended for official business — to lease luxury cars, cover personal cell phone bills, and even subscribe to USA Today. The agency’s information technology director, James Donnan, apparently billed taxpayers his wife’s cell phone bill, cable TV subscriptions in multiple homes, and personal subscriptions.

FMCS officials commissioned portraits of themselves and hung them in their offices, and you footed the bill. They took exotic vacations and hired their friends and relatives to keep the gravy train rolling.

The FMCS goes beyond mismanagement into blatant corruption and theft — and it went on for decades, unnoticed and unchallenged.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to abolish the FMCS — a necessary and long-overdue move. But the FMCS is just one of many agencies within the federal government burning through billions of taxpayer dollars. How many more slush funds exist in the shadows, funneling money into the pockets of bureaucrats who produce nothing? How many government-funded NGOs operate in direct opposition to American interests?

Perhaps the most disturbing question is why Americans tolerate such corruption. Why do so many Americans tolerate this? Why is the left — supposedly the party of the people — defending the very institutions that rob working-class Americans blind?

Corruption beyond bureaucracy

The recent rallies led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), and their socialist acolytes claim to be a grassroots uprising against corruption and greed. But GPS data from these rallies tells a different story. The majority of attendees aren’t ordinary citizens fed up with the status quo. They’re professional activists — serial agitators who bounce from protest to protest.

Roughly 84% of devices tracked at these rallies were present at multiple Kamala Harris events. A staggering 31% appeared at over 20 separate demonstrations, tied to Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and pro-Palestinian causes.

Many of these organizations receive federal grant money — our tax dollars — and they’re using those funds to protest the very policies that threaten to cut off their financial lifeline.

This isn’t democracy in action. This is political theater — astroturfing perfected. And the American taxpayer is funding it.

Rooting out corruption

Trump was a battering ram against this corrupt system. Elon Musk is a surgeon, meticulously exposing the infection that has festered for decades — and that’s why the leftists hate him even more than they hate Trump. Musk threatens to dismantle the financial web that sustains their entire operation.

When we allow the government to grow unchecked and our leaders to prioritize their own wealth and power over the good of the nation, figures like Trump and Musk are necessary. Rome didn’t fall because of an external invasion but rather due to internal decay that looked an awful lot like what we see today.

We must demand better. We must refuse to tolerate this corruption any longer. The FMCS may be gone, but the fight to root out this deep-seated corruption is far from over.

Did the CIA hide the real truth behind JFK's assassination?

Bettmann / Contributor, NurPhoto / Contributor | Getty Images

Many were disappointed by the recent release of the JFK files, frustrated by the apparent lack of answers to decades-old questions. The problem? They’re asking the wrong question.

Everyone wants a "who"—a smoking gun, someone to blame. It’s understandable; Americans crave justice for a slain president, to hold the culprits of one of the 20th century’s greatest crimes accountable. But the real answer isn’t a "who"—it’s a "what." That "what" is the CIA and proof of their nefarious dealings since the 1960s.

In his most recent TV special, Glenn delves into the JFK files, where he found the crucial information that everyone else seemed to miss. Be sure to watch the TV special here.

The CIA's Dirty Fingerprints

Did Oswald act alone? I tested the Warren Commission's "lone gunman" narrative and discovered something SHOCKING.

Watch the full experiment TONIGHT at 9PM ET only on https://t.co/Ki1CX633fq pic.twitter.com/DwNSUFXJ1r
— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) March 26, 2025

While the recent JFK files don’t explicitly pin the assassination on the CIA, the evidence between the lines is compelling.

If you follow Glenn on X, you’ve seen his newest artifact: an exact replica of Lee Harvey Oswald’s rifle. Glenn tested it at the range, attempting to replicate the notoriously difficult shot Oswald allegedly made that fateful day in Dallas. While Glenn shares more takeaways in his TV special, one thing stood out immediately: the rifle’s abysmal quality, its shoddy scope, and the odd caliber of ammunition it uses.

Oswald’s rifle, a Mannlicher-Carcano, is chambered in 6.5mm—an unusual caliber. Much like today, the average gun store in the ‘60s didn’t stock 6.5mm rounds. The largest known supply was owned by the CIA, who had shipped the ammo from Greece after World War II. Suspiciously, there’s no record of where Oswald got his ammunition, but the JFK files confirm that the gun store where he bought the Mannlicher-Carcano had CIA connections.

It’s well-known that Oswald defected to the USSR and lived there before returning to the U.S. The JFK files reveal that from the moment he touched down stateside, the CIA tracked him like a hawk. They followed him across the country and even to Mexico City—but, conveniently, seemed to lose him in Dallas just as President Kennedy arrived. What a coincidence.

Whether by design or gross incompetence, the CIA greased Oswald’s path, letting him slip unhindered into that sixth-floor Book Depository window.

The Cover-Up

SAUL LOEB / Staff | Getty Images

If the JFK files aren’t the smoking gun many hoped for, why did the CIA fight so hard to keep them buried?

The answer is trust. Hard as it may be to imagine today, Americans in the ‘60s trusted their government—at least more than they do now. This cover-up preserved that trust longer than it might have lasted, allowing the CIA to pull off more scandals before the public caught on. From Benghaziand 9/11 to COVID-19 and January 6, the same dirty marks found in the JFK files stain these events. It’s about saving face. The files make the CIA look incompetent at best, complicit at worst.

This might feel like common knowledge today—especially to Glenn’s audience—but 40 or 50 years ago, saying such things could land you in the loony bin. It’s taken 60 years of growing suspicion to reach this point. Imagine if the JFK files had been available back then. Could we have stopped six decades of CIA shenanigans in their tracks?

The thought is chilling.

What Now?

The files don’t name a mastermind or explicitly confirm the darkest JFK assassination conspiracies that have swirled for decades—but they’re far from empty. They expose a disturbing truth: the CIA’s unchecked power in the ‘60s echoes into today.

In one of his most exciting TV specials yet, Glenn delves deep into the files, proving why we can’t ignore these revelations. Stop chasing a "who" and start demanding accountability for the "what." Only by confronting this can we hope to rein in the agency that’s dodged scrutiny for too long.
