Glenn Makes Two Predictions for Nevada

Echoing David Barton's sentiments that voters feel betrayed by the government, Glenn noted the palpable anger felt at rallies he attended in Nevada, particularly in Reno. Broadcasting from The Silver State, Glenn shared two predictions Tuesday on The Glenn Beck Program.

Prediction #1: The GOP is 100% Done in Nevada

Nevada, like the rest of the country, feels betrayed --- and angry. The citizens of The Silver State made their voices loud and clear during recent elections by winning the senate, their assembly and the governorship for Republicans. And what did the Grand Old Party do? They passed the largest tax increase in the state's history.

"This tax was so high, so huge, that the Democrats couldn't have ever done it themselves," Glenn said. "But because it came from the Republicans, they got the Republicans to join with the Democrats, exactly what happens in Washington."

Tonight, on the caucus ballot, Nevada voters will have a chance to repeal that tax.

Prediction #2: Donald Trump Will Win Big in Nevada

The citizens of Nevada are angry, and rightly so. They followed the proper procedures, they elected Republicans to represent them with conservative values, and they were let down. No wonder Trump is polling so well there.

"I would never want to vote for a politician," Glenn said. "I would just say, 'You know what, I don't care. The guy has a giant golden phallic symbol on the strip in Las Vegas. He's the first guy to add strippers into a casino. He's got his name up in lights. He's not really a nice guy. But, you know what, I can't take a politician anymore.'"

Hey Clueless GOP, Order a Domino's Pizza

Someone recently shared a story with Glenn about the CEO of Domino's Pizza turning the company around. How did he do it? By owning up to the company's problems, leveling with customers and fixing the problems. Domino's Pizza went from near failure to being the number one pizza delivery. That same CEO spoke to the GOP, warning they had the same kind of problem and recommending a solution.

"The leadership in the GOP got up and asked him, 'Well, that worked for you, but what do we do because we don't have a problem with our pizza? We don't have a problem with our delivery.' Are you out of your mind? That's delusional," Glenn said.

Common Sense Bottom Line

Politicians have completely lost touch with America. They live in a protected bubble that only benefits the political class and well-connected, unwilling to accept or listen to reason. The American people are fed up with their corruption and backdoor dealings. They no longer trust politicians who repeatedly make promises and fail to deliver.

And that's exactly why Donald Trump will likely crush it in Nevada tonight.

Enjoy this complimentary clip from The Glenn Beck Program:

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

GLENN: My prediction on what's going to happen tonight is it's going to be a huge win for Donald Trump. Because this is Donald Trump territory in some ways. And it's in this way: The G.O.P. is done in Nevada. Absolutely 100 percent done. And here's why: In Nevada, they did the same thing that the national G.O.P. has been doing to all of us, and that is: We have to have the senate. And they get the senate. We have to get the assembly, their house. And they get the assembly and the senate. Yeah, but we can't really do anything until we get the governor. They get the governor, the assembly, and the house, and what was the first thing they did? They passed the largest tax increase in the state's history.

Everyone felt betrayed by the G.O.P. Tonight, on the ballot at the -- at the caucus, they have a repeal going on as well to repeal this tax. This tax was so high, so huge, that the Democrats couldn't have ever done it themselves. If the Democrats would have tried to do this, it would have set the state on fire and divided everyone. And in no way the Democrats could pulled it off. But because it came from the Republicans, they got the Republicans to join with the Democrats, exactly what happens in Washington. The G.O.P. is finished.

So Donald Trump is playing into the anger. And last night, I arrived here in Reno. And we noticed something different in Reno from Vegas and Elko. And that is the people in Reno -- and it's happening in Vegas and in Elko. But it was different. It was easily diffused. In Reno last night, it was a great crowd. But I sensed a real anger. There was this anger right from the beginning that they were talking back to me as I was saying things. They were really talking back. And I could -- I could sense they really meant it. When they were saying, "We've been betrayed," they felt it. They know.

And Donald Trump -- and, quite honestly, with the way Marco Rubio is running his campaign where he won't talk about his own record, he is playing exactly the same record that Donald Trump does. Donald Trump is for Planned Parenthood. Well, Ted Cruz is trying to dismantle Planned Parenthood. What is Donald Trump doing? Donald Trump is out saying that Planned Parenthood does a lot of great things for women. Well, okay. So you're for Planned Parenthood? You're not for defunding Planned Parenthood. You're saying the same thing that Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton says.

And what did he do at the debate? Liar, liar, liar, liar, lair. Wouldn't let Ted even explain.

Liar. When did I ever say that?

Well, you said it --

Liar, liar.

That's the same thing Marco Rubio is doing when you talk to him about the Gang of Eight or any of his policies where he is -- I mean, look at the people who are supporting him. It is the establishment. Why is the establishment doing it? Why is he having to deny that Mitt Romney is supporting him? Because the Mitt Romney endorsement is the kiss of death.

But look at the people -- in Nevada, the people who are endorsing him, believe it or not, and he is embracing it, the governor, the people from the assembly, and the people from senate, who were the leaders of pushing this tax on the -- on the people of Nevada. It's crazy.

So I think -- and I don't know because I haven't seen any poll numbers or anything else, but I think that Ted Cruz is going to come in second. It will probably be close again. But a runaway for Donald Trump here.

And the people that I am talking to, it is connecting with them when I say, "We never make a good decision when we're angry. Never have I said, man, I'm sorry, I flew off the handle. I was so angry at the time. And that's why I made the greatest decision of my life. Instead, every apology starts with, I'm really sorry. I was angry. You never make a good decision when you're angry."

And what we're looking for is a strongman. Exactly -- without naming him because I didn't know who it would be. This is what I warned about when I was on Fox, when I said -- and I did the show on the pendulum. Somebody on the right will grab the pendulum. Some strongman because it will be top down, bottom up, inside out, and you'll be so frustrated that you will cry out for a strongman.

Donald Trump said yesterday that he is going to put Hillary Clinton -- he'll prosecute Hillary Clinton and put her in jail. I can guarantee you, the man who wanted Hillary Clinton at his wedding so much that he paid her to believe is not going to put Hillary Clinton in jail. Liar. That's just a fact. He will not do it.

But people are so -- when I say on the campaign trail, Bernie Sanders is connecting with the American people because he is talking about fairness. He wants fairness. Well, what does fairness mean? To a lot of people who aren't thinking in the Marxist sort of way, fairness means, I want an equal chance. I want an equal shot. Just because a guy owns a casino, he has all these connections, he has all this money, and he can pay people to show up at his wedding, he shouldn't have a better shot at things than you do. If I have a better idea, if I have a better work ethic, I should be able to start my own casino. He shouldn't be able to block me because of his money. That's what fairness means in America.

But it also means something else. Equal justice under the law. And that's what we have lost. You know and I know, if we did what Lois Lerner did at the IRS, we'd be in jail. Lois Lerner got her pension. She wasn't even fired. If you and I did what Hillary Clinton did, we would be in jail. And if you were in military, you might be facing execution. And that's a fact. But because Hillary Clinton did it, because her husband was the president of the United States, she has nothing to worry about.

If you are voting for Bernie Sanders, your guy most likely doesn't have a chance. Why is that? Because there's no such thing as equal justice. Bernie Sanders is probably going to lose, even though he's beating her or tying her everywhere. And she's not worried about it at all because she has all the superdelegates. That's not equal justice. That's not fair. That's not America. And that's what people are upset about on both sides of the aisle.

So the G.O.P. -- and they absolutely don't know it. I'm traveling with a few congressmen. And these are the good guys that you can actually trust in Congress. And they're saying to me, "Oh, the G.O.P. -- the Mitt -- they really think that they can get somebody like Marco Rubio that will make deals with them, as evidenced by the Gang of Eight, and make deals with them and continue this game down the road. They have no idea. They honestly don't see the trouble that is coming down the road. They think they're right.

I was told a story about how the guy who owned Domino's Pizza -- now, remember, Domino's Pizza went through a really hard time a few years back. And everybody -- their test scores -- you know, their ratings from their customers were bottom of the line. People didn't trust that the food would come on time. They thought the food tasted like cardboard. They just didn't like the product. They didn't like the service, and they didn't like the delivery. And Domino's Pizza was almost out of business. It was done.

So the new CEO comes in, and he conducts this survey. And he finds out how much trouble they're in. So he goes and he starts an ad that says, look, you thought our pizza tasted like cardboard. You didn't like our service. You didn't trust our delivery. We've screwed our company up. But that's why we've changed our menu. We've changed our policies. And we want to know when we screw it up because we're fixing it now. Try us again. Fresh start. Domino's Pizza.

Well, Domino's Pizza became the number one pizza. And the number one rated, not only in taste for fast pizza delivery, but also rated number one in customer service and delivery. People gave them another chance because that's what Americans do because they believe in fairness.

So he came out and spoke to the G.O.P. And he sat there and spoke to them and he said, "You guys have a problem, and I highly recommend that you do and take the course that Domino's Pizza just came and did." The leadership in the G.O.P. got up and asked him -- this was an honest question, "Well, that worked for you, but what do we do because we don't have a problem with our pizza? We don't have a problem with our delivery."

Are you out of your mind? Do you really think -- and the guys who were telling me this last night said they were completely embarrassed. Here's a guy who comes -- who doesn't need to come and spend his time talking to the G.O.P. And he's just offering his advice. And they look at him and say, "We don't have a problem." That's delusional. Delusional.

And because of that, they're putting their money and their -- and they're betting on Marco Rubio because he will make deals with them. It's insane. And it leads to revolution. Because Americans won't take another four years or another eight years of this. We're when you're out on the campaign trail, which, by the way, we should talk about. It is the worst. I mean, waking

up in a strange city. And waking up in a strange hotel every single day is just the worse. I don't know how these guys do it. The grind on you is absolutely phenomenal. And there's always somebody there trying to trip you up. There's always the press watching every single word you make.

After doing this for 12 hours a day and you're in five different cities a day and you're tired from doing for seven days a week -- and these guys have been doing it for months, the campaign hasn't even really started. I don't know how they do it. I really don't know how to do it. But that is making them better. Each of them are getting better. And they're learning something.

So what is it they're learning? Ted Cruz is learning how to deal with the press, and Ted Cruz is learning how to deal with his own staff. We'll go into what he did yesterday and make sure that he's holding their feet to the fire. And he's getting smarter. Much, much smarter. Donald Trump, for instance, is learning that just shouting liar -- and so is Marco Rubio -- just shouting liar and not actually having to answer any question is working for them.

Donald Trump, in particular, is learning the bigger the bully, the better I -- the better I do because people are angry. And there is -- you're right to be angry. You're right to feel betrayed. I feel betrayed. If I lived in Nevada, oh, my gosh, I would never -- and this is why Donald Trump is doing well. I would never want to vote for a politician. I would just say, "You know what, I don't care. The guy has a giant golden phallic HEP symbol on the strip in Las Vegas. He's the first guy to add strippers into a casino. He's got his name up in lights. He's not really a nice guy. But, you know what, I can't take a politician anymore. I can't take a politician anymore."

And they're right to feel that way. They're right to feel that way.

The great switch: Gates trades climate control for digital dominion

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

The Big Tech billionaire once said humanity must change or perish. Now he claims we’ll survive — just as elites prepare total surveillance.

For decades, Americans have been told that climate change is an imminent apocalypse — the existential threat that justifies every intrusion into our lives, from banning gas stoves to rationing energy to tracking personal “carbon scores.”

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates helped lead that charge. He warned repeatedly that the “climate disaster” would be the greatest crisis humanity would ever face. He invested billions in green technology and demanded the world reach net-zero emissions by 2050 “to avoid catastrophe.”

The global contest is no longer over barrels and pipelines — it is over who gets to flip the digital switch.

Now, suddenly, he wants everyone to relax: Climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise” after all.

Gates was making less of a scientific statement and more of a strategic pivot. When elites retire a crisis, it’s never because the threat is gone — it’s because a better one has replaced it. And something else has indeed arrived — something the ruling class finds more useful than fear of the weather.The same day Gates downshifted the doomsday rhetoric, Amazon announced it would pay warehouse workers $30 an hour — while laying off 30,000 people because artificial intelligence will soon do their jobs.

Climate panic was the warm-up. AI control is the main event.

The new currency of power

The world once revolved around oil and gas. Today, it revolves around the electricity demanded by server farms, the chips that power machine learning, and the data that can be used to manipulate or silence entire populations. The global contest is no longer over barrels and pipelines — it is over who gets to flip the digital switch. Whoever controls energy now controls information. And whoever controls information controls civilization.

Climate alarmism gave elites a pretext to centralize power over energy. Artificial intelligence gives them a mechanism to centralize power over people. The future battles will not be about carbon — they will be about control.

Two futures — both ending in tyranny

Americans are already being pushed into what look like two opposing movements, but both leave the individual powerless.

The first is the technocratic empire being constructed in the name of innovation. In its vision, human work will be replaced by machines, and digital permissions will subsume personal autonomy.

Government and corporations merge into a single authority. Your identity, finances, medical decisions, and speech rights become access points monitored by biometric scanners and enforced by automated gatekeepers. Every step, purchase, and opinion is tracked under the noble banner of “efficiency.”

The second is the green de-growth utopia being marketed as “compassion.” In this vision, prosperity itself becomes immoral. You will own less because “the planet” requires it. Elites will redesign cities so life cannot extend beyond a 15-minute walking radius, restrict movement to save the Earth, and ration resources to curb “excess.” It promises community and simplicity, but ultimately delivers enforced scarcity. Freedom withers when surviving becomes a collective permission rather than an individual right.

Both futures demand that citizens become manageable — either automated out of society or tightly regulated within it. The ruling class will embrace whichever version gives them the most leverage in any given moment.

Climate panic was losing its grip. AI dependency — and the obedience it creates — is far more potent.

The forgotten way

A third path exists, but it is the one today’s elites fear most: the path laid out in our Constitution. The founders built a system that assumes human beings are not subjects to be monitored or managed, but moral agents equipped by God with rights no government — and no algorithm — can override.

That idea remains the most “disruptive technology” in history. It shattered the belief that people need kings or experts or global committees telling them how to live. No wonder elites want it erased.

Soon, you will be told you must choose: Live in a world run by machines or in a world stripped down for planetary salvation. Digital tyranny or rationed equality. Innovation without liberty or simplicity without dignity.

Both are traps.

The only way

The only future worth choosing is the one grounded in ordered liberty — where prosperity and progress exist alongside moral responsibility and personal freedom and human beings are treated as image-bearers of God — not climate liabilities, not data profiles, not replaceable hardware components.

Bill Gates can change his tune. The media can change the script. But the agenda remains the same.

They no longer want to save the planet. They want to run it, and they expect you to obey.

Why the White House restoration sent the left Into panic mode

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

Presidents have altered the White House for decades, yet only Donald Trump is treated as a vandal for privately funding the East Wing’s restoration.

Every time a president so much as changes the color of the White House drapes, the press clutches its pearls. Unless the name on the stationery is Barack Obama’s, even routine restoration becomes a national outrage.

President Donald Trump’s decision to privately fund upgrades to the White House — including a new state ballroom — has been met with the usual chorus of gasps and sneers. You’d think he bulldozed Monticello.

If a Republican preserves beauty, it’s vandalism. If a Democrat does the same, it’s ‘visionary.’

The irony is that presidents have altered and expanded the White House for more than a century. President Franklin D. Roosevelt added the East and West Wings in the middle of the Great Depression. Newspapers accused him of building a palace while Americans stood in breadlines. History now calls it “vision.”

First lady Nancy Reagan faced the same hysteria. Headlines accused her of spending taxpayer money on new china “while Americans starved.” In truth, she raised private funds after learning that the White House didn’t have enough matching plates for state dinners. She took the ridicule and refused to pass blame.

“I’m a big girl,” she told her staff. “This comes with the job.” That was dignity — something the press no longer recognizes.

A restoration, not a renovation

Trump’s project is different in every way that should matter. It costs taxpayers nothing. Not a cent. The president and a few friends privately fund the work. There’s no private pool or tennis court, no personal perks. The additions won’t even be completed until after he leaves office.

What’s being built is not indulgence — it’s stewardship. A restoration of aging rooms, worn fixtures, and century-old bathrooms that no longer function properly in the people’s house. Trump has paid for cast brass doorknobs engraved with the presidential seal, restored the carpets and moldings, and ensured that the architecture remains faithful to history.

The media’s response was mockery and accusations of vanity. They call it “grotesque excess,” while celebrating billion-dollar “climate art” projects and funneling hundreds of millions into activist causes like the No Kings movement. They lecture America on restraint while living off the largesse of billionaires.

The selective guardians of history

Where was this sudden reverence for history when rioters torched St. John’s Church — the same church where every president since James Madison has worshipped? The press called it an “expression of grief.”

Where was that reverence when mobs toppled statues of Washington, Jefferson, and Grant? Or when first lady Melania Trump replaced the Rose Garden’s lawn with a patio but otherwise followed Jackie Kennedy’s original 1962 plans in the garden’s restoration? They called that “desecration.”

If a Republican preserves beauty, it’s vandalism. If a Democrat does the same, it’s “visionary.”

The real desecration

The people shrieking about “historic preservation” care nothing for history. They hate the idea that something lasting and beautiful might be built by hands they despise. They mock craftsmanship because it exposes their own cultural decay.

The White House ballroom is not a scandal — it’s a mirror. And what it reflects is the media’s own pettiness. The ruling class that ridicules restoration is the same class that cheered as America’s monuments fell. Its members sneer at permanence because permanence condemns them.

Trump’s improvements are an act of faith — in the nation’s symbols, its endurance, and its worth. The outrage over a privately funded renovation says less about him than it does about the journalists who mistake destruction for progress.

The real desecration isn’t happening in the East Wing. It’s happening in the newsrooms that long ago tore up their own foundation — truth — and never bothered to rebuild it.

Trump’s secret war in the Caribbean EXPOSED — It’s not about drugs

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

The president’s moves in Venezuela, Guyana, and Colombia aren’t about drugs. They’re about re-establishing America’s sovereignty across the Western Hemisphere.

For decades, we’ve been told America’s wars are about drugs, democracy, or “defending freedom.” But look closer at what’s unfolding off the coast of Venezuela, and you’ll see something far more strategic taking shape. Donald Trump’s so-called drug war isn’t about fentanyl or cocaine. It’s about control — and a rebirth of American sovereignty.

The aim of Trump’s ‘drug war’ is to keep the hemisphere’s oil, minerals, and manufacturing within the Western family and out of Beijing’s hands.

The president understands something the foreign policy class forgot long ago: The world doesn’t respect apologies. It respects strength.

While the global elites in Davos tout the Great Reset, Trump is building something entirely different — a new architecture of power based on regional independence, not global dependence. His quiet campaign in the Western Hemisphere may one day be remembered as the second Monroe Doctrine.

Venezuela sits at the center of it all. It holds the world’s largest crude oil reserves — oil perfectly suited for America’s Gulf refineries. For years, China and Russia have treated Venezuela like a pawn on their chessboard, offering predatory loans in exchange for control of those resources. The result has been a corrupt, communist state sitting in our own back yard. For too long, Washington shrugged. Not any more.The naval exercises in the Caribbean, the sanctions, the patrols — they’re not about drug smugglers. They’re about evicting China from our hemisphere.

Trump is using the old “drug war” playbook to wage a new kind of war — an economic and strategic one — without firing a shot at our actual enemies. The goal is simple: Keep the hemisphere’s oil, minerals, and manufacturing within the Western family and out of Beijing’s hands.

Beyond Venezuela

Just east of Venezuela lies Guyana, a country most Americans couldn’t find on a map a year ago. Then ExxonMobil struck oil, and suddenly Guyana became the newest front in a quiet geopolitical contest. Washington is helping defend those offshore platforms, build radar systems, and secure undersea cables — not for charity, but for strategy. Control energy, data, and shipping lanes, and you control the future.

Moreover, Colombia — a country once defined by cartels — is now positioned as the hinge between two oceans and two continents. It guards the Panama Canal and sits atop rare-earth minerals every modern economy needs. Decades of American presence there weren’t just about cocaine interdiction; they were about maintaining leverage over the arteries of global trade. Trump sees that clearly.

PEDRO MATTEY / Contributor | Getty Images

All of these recent news items — from the military drills in the Caribbean to the trade negotiations — reflect a new vision of American power. Not global policing. Not endless nation-building. It’s about strategic sovereignty.

It’s the same philosophy driving Trump’s approach to NATO, the Middle East, and Asia. We’ll stand with you — but you’ll stand on your own two feet. The days of American taxpayers funding global security while our own borders collapse are over.

Trump’s Monroe Doctrine

Critics will call it “isolationism.” It isn’t. It’s realism. It’s recognizing that America’s strength comes not from fighting other people’s wars but from securing our own energy, our own supply lines, our own hemisphere. The first Monroe Doctrine warned foreign powers to stay out of the Americas. The second one — Trump’s — says we’ll defend them, but we’ll no longer be their bank or their babysitter.

Historians may one day mark this moment as the start of a new era — when America stopped apologizing for its own interests and started rebuilding its sovereignty, one barrel, one chip, and one border at a time.

Antifa isn’t “leaderless” — It’s an organized machine of violence

Jeff J Mitchell / Staff | Getty Images

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

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

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

Antifa is organized, funded, and emboldened.

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

A history of violence

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

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

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

Dismember the dragon

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

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

AFP Contributor / Contributor | Getty Images

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

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