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

March 21, 2016

Writer

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

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

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

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

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

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

Enjoy this complimentary clip from The Glenn Beck Program:

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

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

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

PAT: Yeah.

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

(BREAK)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: What?

STU: People started patting their back.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(OUT AT 8:25AM)

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

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

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

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

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

STU: Okay.

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

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

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

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

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

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

PAT: And it shows.

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

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

STU: Uh-huh.

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

PAT: Yeah, they're thugs. Yeah.

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

PAT: Reasonable.

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

STU: Uh-huh.

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

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

STU: Yeah.

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

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

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

The THREE ways RFK Jr. will Make America Healthy Again

The Washington Post / Contributor | Getty Images

One of President Trump's most popular campaign promises was to "Make America Great Again," and he has employed the help of his former opponent, RFK Jr., to make that promise come true.

In an interview with NPR, RFK Jr. revealed the three directives Trump has tasked him as the new head of the Department of Health and Human Services. These directives aim to cut out the "cancer" that Glenn exposed in his latest TV special that has spread throughout theentire federal government.

Here are the three directives Trump gave RFK Jr.:

1. Rid health agencies of corruption and conflicts.

It is no secret that the departments that fall under the HHS, such as the FDA, NIH, and CDC, are rife with corruption. After the COVID lockdowns raised suspicion that these federal agencies did not have the American people's best interests at heart, Americans have been increasingly distrustful of these institutions. Glenn exposed several instances of corruption across the HHS, from Dr. Fauchi's Covid powertrip to the insidious relationship between private entities like Big Food, Big Pharma, and the federal agencies that regulate them.

RFK Jr. has been one of the most vocal critics of the corruption that has turned these federal agencies against the very people they were created to protect and is the best person to reform these institutions.

2. Return agencies to the gold standard of empirically based, evidence-based science and medicine.

Under Biden, the HHS has degraded even further than it had before. Scientific methodology and empirical data are no longer the backbones of these institutions. They have been replaced with DEI and other woke agendas. The Department of Health and Human Services is the second largest federal agency, only behind the Pentagon, with a budget of 1.7 trillion dollarsand over 83 thousand employees. The opportunity for waste and negligence is monumental.

Biden appointed former California Attorney General, Xavier Becerra, to the head of HHS, along with Rachel Levine, a transgender woman, as the Assistant Secretary for Health. Before long the second-largest federal agency started looking like a university DEI office, with hundreds of DEI hires adding to government bloat. Instead of battling the diseases and sicknesses that plague our country, the HHS spent the past four years going after pro-life investigators who were exposing how Planned Parenthood sells body parts of aborted babies, opposing the merger of religious-based hospitals to protect transgender and abortion "rights," and wrestling over Obama-era contraceptive mandates with a group of Catholic nuns. This is quackery and waste on an unprecedented scale.

RFK Jr. is tasked with rooting out the corruption that sprang forth with the Biden administration's DEI agenda and put science back in our health policy.

3. End the chronic disease epidemic with measurable impacts within two years.

Today, despite our modern technology, Americans are sicker than ever before. 129 million Americans have at least one chronic disease, 42 percent have two or more, and 12 percent have more than five. Life expectancy is at a twenty-year low despite the fact that we are spending more than ever on health care. Even our children are sick, with a staggering 40 percent of school-aged kids having at least one chronic disease. One in nine kids has ADHD, and one in 54 has autism, both representing a steep increase over past decades.

America is sick, and Big Pharma is just rolling in the profits. This is where RFK Jr. comes in. He aims to find the cures and preventions to these diseases and make Americans healthy instead of lifelong patients.

POLL: Is Matt Gaetz in trouble?!

ANGELA WEISS / Contributor | Getty Images

Trump is assembling a dream team to take on the deep state that has burdened the American people for far too long.

It's no surprise Democrats have been pushing back against Trump's nominations, but one person in particular has been experiencing the most resistance: Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Trump's pick to serve as his Attorney General. The controversy centers around a years-long House ethics probe regarding sexual misconduct allegations made against Gaetz several years ago. Despite the FBI conducting its own investigation and refusing to prosecute Gaetz, his nomination re-ignited interest in these allegations.

Democrats and some Republicans demand the House Ethics Committee release their probe into Gaetz before his Senate confirmation hearing. Conveniently, earlier this week, an anonymous hacker obtained this coveted report and gave it to the New York Times, which has yet to make the information public.

Glenn is very skeptical about the entire affair, from the allegations against Gaetz to the hacker's "anonymity." Is it another case of lawfare by the Democrats?

Glenn wants to know what do you think. Did Gaetz commit the crimes he's accused of? Will he still be appointed attorney general? Let us know in the poll below:

Is Matt Gaetz guilty of the crimes he is accused of committing?

Will Matt Gaetz still be appointed to Trump's cabinet?

Was the "hacker" really some Democratic staffer or lawmaker?

3 BIGGEST lies about Trump's plans for deportations

Rebecca Noble / Stringer | Getty Images

To the right, Trump's deportation plans seem like a reasonable step to secure the border. For the left, mass deportation represents an existential threat to democracy.

However, the left's main arguments against Trump's deportation plans are not only based on racially problematic lies and fabrications — they are outright hypocritical.

Here are the three BIGGEST lies about Trump's deportation plans:

1. Past Deportations

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

The left acts like Donald Trump is the first president in history to oversee mass deportations, but nothing could be further from the truth. Deportations have been a crucial tool for enforcing immigration laws and securing the country from the beginning, and until recently, it was a fairly bipartisan issue.

Democrat superstar President Obama holds the record for most deportations during his tenure in office, clocking in at a whopping 3,066,457 people over his eight years in office. This compares to the 551,449 people removed during Trump's first term. Obama isn't an anomaly either, President Clinton deported 865,646 people during his eight years, still toping Trump's numbers by a considerable margin.

The left's sudden aversion to deportations is clearly reactionary propaganda aimed at villainizing Trump.

2. Exploitative Labor

Commentators on the left have insinuated that President Trump's deportation plan would endanger the agricultural industry due to the large portion of agricultural workers in the U.S. who are illegal aliens. If they are deported, food prices will skyrocket.

What the left is conveniently forgetting is the reason why many businesses choose to hire illegal immigrants (here's a hint: it's not because legal Americans aren't willing to do the work). It's because it is way easier to exploit people who are here illegally. Farmowners don't have to pay taxes on illegal aliens, pay minimum wage, offer benefits, sign contracts, or do any of the other typical requirements that protect the rights of the worker.

The left has shown their hand. This was never about some high-minded ideals of "diversity" and "inclusion." It's about cheap, expendable labor and a captive voter base to bolster their party in elections.

3."Undesirable" Jobs

Another common talking point amid the left-wing anti-Trump hysteria is that illegal aliens take "undesirable" jobs that Americans will not do. The argument is that these people fill the "bottom tier" in the U.S. economy, jobs they consider "unfit" for American citizens.

By their logic, we should allow hordes of undocumented, unvetted immigrants into the country so they can work the jobs that the out-of-touch liberal talking heads consider beneath them. It's no wonder why they lost the election.

Did the Left lay the foundations for election denial?

Did Glenn predict the future?

Just a few days after the election and President Trump's historic victory, the New York Times published a noteworthy article titled "How Russia Openly Escalated Its Election Interference Efforts," in which they made some interesting suggestions. They brought up several examples of Russian election interference (stop me if you think you've heard this one before) that favored Trump. From there, they delicately approached the "election denial zone" with the following statement:

"What impact Russia’s information campaign had on the outcome of this year’s race, if any, remains uncertain"

Is anyone else getting 2016 flashbacks?

It doesn't end there. About two weeks before the election (October 23rd), Glenn and Justin Haskins, the co-author of Glenn's new book, Propaganda Wars, discuss a frightening pattern they were observing in the news cycle at the time, and it bears a striking similarity to this New York Times piece. To gain a full appreciation of this situation, let's go back to two weeks before the election when Glenn and Justin laid out this scene:

Bad Eggs in the Intelligence Community

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / Contributor | Getty Images

This story begins with a top-secret military intelligence leak. Over the October 19th weekend, someone within the U.S. Government's intelligence agencies leaked classified information regarding the Israeli military and their upcoming plans to Iran. The man responsible for this leak, Asif William Rahman, a CIA official with top security clearance, was arrested on Tuesday, November 12th.

Rahman is one of the known "bad eggs" within our intelligence community. Glenn and Justin highlighted another, a man named Robert Malley. Malley is an Iranian envoy who works at the State Department under the Biden/Harris administration and is under investigation by the FBI for mishandling classified information. While Malley was quietly placed on leave in June, he has yet to be fired and still holds security clearance.

Another suspicious figure is Ariane Tabatabai, a former aide of Mr. Malley and a confirmed Iranian agent. According to a leak by Semafor, Tabatabai was revealed to be a willing participant in an Iranian covert influence campaign run by Tehran's Foreign Ministry. Despite this shocking revelation that an Iranian agent was in the Pentagon with access to top-secret information, Tabatabai has not faced any charges or inquires, nor has she been stripped of her job or clearance.

If these are the bad actors we know about, imagine how many are unknown to the public or are flying under the radar. In short, our intelligence agencies are full of people whose goals do not align with American security.

Conspicuous Russian Misinformation

Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images

The story continues with a video of a man accusing former VP candidate and Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz of sexual assault. The man alleged to be Matthew Metro, a former student of Walz claimed that he was assaulted by the Governor while in High School. The man in the video gave corroborating details that made the claim seem credible on the surface, and it quickly spread across the internet. But after some deeper investigation, it was revealed this man wasnot Matthew Metro and that the entire video was fake. This caught the attention of the Security Director of National Intelligence who claimed the video was a Russian hoax designed to wound the Harris/Walz campaign, and the rest of the intelligence community quickly agreed.

In the same vein, the State Department put out a $10 million bountyto find the identity of the head of the Russian-owned media company Rybar. According to the State Department, Rybar manages several social media channels that promote Russian governmental political interests targeted at Trump supporters. The content Rybar posts is directed into pro-Trump, and pro-Republican channels, and the content apparently has a pro-Trump spin, alongside its pro-Russia objectives.

Why Does the Intelligence Community Care?

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

So what's the deal? Yes, Russia was trying to interfere with the election, but this is a well-known issue that has unfortunately become commonplace in our recent elections.

The real concern is the intelligence community's uncharacteristically enthusiastic and fast response. Where was this response in 2016, when Hillary Clinton and the Democrats spent months lying about Donald Trump's "collusion" with Russia? It has since been proven that the FIB knew the entire story was a Clinton campaign fabrication, and they not only kept quiet about it, but they even played along. Or what about in 2020 when the Left tried to shut down the Hunter Biden laptop story for months by calling it a Russian hoax, only for it to turn out to be true?

Between all the bad actors in the intelligence community and their demonstrated repeated trustworthiness, this sudden concern with "Russian disinformation" that happened to support Trump was just too convenient.

Laying the Foundations for Election Denial

Brandon Bell / Staff | Getty Images

This is when Glenn and Justin make a startling prediction: the Left was preparing for a potential Trump victory (remember, this was two weeks before the election) so they would have something to delegitimize him with. They were painting Trump as Putin's lapdog who was receiving election assistance in the form of misinformation from the Kremlin by sounding the alarm on these cherry-picked (and in the grand scheme of things, tame) examples of Russian propaganda. They were laying the foundation of the Left's effort to resist and delegitimize a President-elect Trump.

Glenn and Justin had no idea how right they were.
