Anti-Trump media IGNORES the ACTUAL 'dictator' threat

The Left has ramped up its crusade to paint former president Donald Trump as a dictator wannabe. In a recent op-ed in the Washington Post, writer Robert Kagan attempted to lay out a "solution" to this alleged problem. And apparently, it involves rallying around Nikki Haley. But Glenn has a few issues with Kagan's argument. For example, Glenn argues, the real "dictator" the Left should fear is the Deep State, not Donald Trump: "It is the biggest violation of individual rights and the Constitution in the history of our country. And that should be frightening to both Left and Right."

GLENN: So Robert Kagan wrote an op-ed. I just want to read it to you. In an essay I wrote last week, I painted a grim picture of the prospects for a dictatorship in the United States.

Well, some readers were unhappy that I didn't offer a solution.

What follows is an attempt at one. And if it seems like a long shot, it is. Because our options today are harder and fewer, because we passed up so many better and easier alternatives in the past.

So, in other words, it's like, hey, we should cut the budget now. Before we don't have any options left.

Is that what you're saying, Robert?

I want to make sure. Nor was it for a lack of knowing what needed to get done. It wouldn't have taken a miracle for Republicans to unite around a single non-Trump candidate in 2016, or for ten more Republican senators to vote to convict Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial.

Got it?

The problem has never been knowing what to do. It's been doing it.

In the past, stopping Trump has required people taking risks, and making sacrifices, that they didn't want to make.

Whether out of selfishness, father or ambition.

Or the fact that they thought they were right. You know, that does exist.

I just want to take a moment here. And point out that some did. When they that thought Trump was going to be, you know, everything that I guess you would want him to be. Some of us did speak out. And you know what happened? We were proven wrong by the facts. Now, others out of selfishness, fear, spiritual, political, or historic blindness, or simply because they benefit from business as usual, or perhaps they think it's true, they still to this day, remain in denial.

Those Never Trumpers.

And, you know, many times, it's not even because it's a conscious choice. It's the result of mass delusion.

Cognitive grooming. Or self-imposed ignorance.

Usually. Now, some people don't like Donald Trump. Some people don't like the way he handles things.

However, most people will agree, if it wasn't Donald Trump, wow!

He's a lot better than this last guy.

Huh?

Now, he goes on. Today, the challenges are even greater. But there's little evidence that the people we need to rise to the indication, are any more likely to do so, than they have for the past eight years. Here's several things people could do to save the country, but most certainly won't do.

Because they selfishly refuse to put their own ambitions at risk, to save our democracy.

It's not a democracy! Know the difference. The first step is to consolidate all of the anti-Trump forces into the Republican Party behind a single candidate.

And right now, it is obvious, that that candidate should be Nikki Haley.

And not because she's pro-Ukraine. Definitely not that. Did I say that out loud?

Definitely not that. But because she's clearly the most capable politician, among the best remaining candidates. And the performer with a real chance. However slim, of challenging Trump.

Okay. Now, let me ask you this:

Well, first of all. Let me point out. She's not the obvious candidate, for most Republicans. She's the obvious candidate for 19 percent of the Republicans. That's the latest poll.

The problem that Nikki has, that Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis do not have. Is that they are standing up for what people, the vast majority of Republicans, actually believe.

They have also both proven themselves as the advisory of the Deep State. And the end of politics, as usual, in the G.O.P.

So the real numbers of Trump supporters, at this time, is Trump plus DeSantis.

You fail to recognize that.

He goes.

All the money and endorsement should shift to hers, as quickly as possible. Yes. Ron DeSantis is likely too selfish and ambitious to drop out of the race.

Really? Or he thinks he's rate.

But if everybody else does and the remaining money and support all flow to Haley, he will quickly become irrelevant.

Now, I'm wondering if this is why the Democrats are beginning to back Nikki Haley's campaign. Will they continue to back that campaign, or is that just for the primary?

It won't be enough, however, to rally the forces behinds Haley. Even if she were to get every vote that is now spread among the other Trump candidates. And she won't. It won't be close to enough to challenge Trump.

Why? Why?

Until now, she's been gathering support at the expense of other non-Trump candidates.

To make a serious run for the nomination, she'll also have to cut into the more 50 percent of the party that now seem solidly behind Trump.

Okay. The only way she could do this, is if she was the nominee. But even then, I'm not sure of those, that have been mocked, feel they've been lied to.

Ignored by the G.O.P. establishment.

All of those people -- again, Trump plus DeSantis, that's probably about 70 percent.

I don't know if any of those people would vote for somebody who even had the hint of establishment. Or someone, you guys wanted.

See, this is the real problem.

50 to 72 percent of Republicans, know what is happening isn't right.

We know that our spending is out of control.

And we know that the G.O.P. was part of it. Is part of it.

We know that these wars will never end.

If we leave it up to the parties and military-industrial complex. They will never end.

And the G.O.P. is part of it. We know that Washington is on the take. Not just Joe Biden and the Democrats. Although, that's a pretty stunning case.

But many of the G.O.P. leaders as well. We know that last or right. Bush, Clinton, or Biden.

If you're a globalist, you can get away with murder.

If you're not, look out, because others may be plotting to murder you. Seventy plus percent of Republicans, know that Trump is now, and this is no exaggeration.

The most investigated man in all of human history. And this is what you've got? To stop him, they result to victimless crime.

Meaning, he inflated his worth for a loan. At Deutsche Bank.

Really? When does Deutsche Bank become this little innocent victim?

By the way, Deutsche Bank testified, they weren't a victim in this.

They knew that. Russia, Clinton, well, Russia. Clinton actually started. The NSA, CIA ran it. The Deep state executed that whole thing.

Then Ukraine, and if you want to go to January 6th, there seems to be mounting evidence now, that hmm. That isn't all that there is.

The left did an incredible job keeping this quiet for as long as they could.

But the truth will always set you free.

Meanwhile, actual money, in the millions, has gone into the hands of our president, and family.

And they're not hearing anything about that.

By the way, that 70 percent, I think would be open to a candidate, to another candidate.

If other people were treated the way, that you treat Donald Trump.

Or better yet, you treat Donald Trump, like you treat everyone else.

For some reason, those who see what the FBI, NSA. Deep State have done to Donald Trump.

And is currently doing under this administration.

Is the biggest violation of individual rights. And the Constitution, in the history of our country.

And that should be frightening to both left and right.

And even those who are politically agnostic.

Yet, those people are called fascists. While those who champion illegal wiretapping, silencing free speech.

Now with new cognitive security, they silence dissent, and work to destroy those who disagree. And literally cognitive security.

Brainwash. And those people are somehow called by you, the defenders of democracy?

Well, I mean, perhaps they are. As democracy always end with a strong man.

But that's why we have a republic. But when those elected represent the people over and over again.

When those people come in, they're elected to represent the people. Over their own gain and interests.

When they don't look for anything, but their own gain, and their own interests, people look for somebody who will listen and act in their children's behalf.

But if the power that is in Washington, that movement, if it crushes those people, history shows us, that the cycle and the pattern repeat, until a strong man is found. And most Americans, and I would say at least 70 percent of Republicans and 70 percent of independents and maybe -- maybe polls show 60 percent of Democrats? Don't want a strong man. On either side.

Now, he continues. The Trump supporters will fall roughly into three categories.

The great majority are just completely committed to what the former New Jersey Governor Christie Todd Whitman has called, the cult of Trump.

And they are out of reach for Haley.

Another smaller group has no problem with Trump. So long as he can beat President Biden and the Democrats next year.

Oh, it's kind of like you, having no problem voting for a guy you know is incapable of running the -- the country.

Just because it's Donald Trump. I know it's so different, isn't it?

By the way, it's not a cult. A cult is brainwashed. Trump supporters, many of them only see the reality they're living in.

They see clearly, what those on the left refuse to see.

And they see clearly, the things that most, if not all elite Never Trumpers will never admit to seeing.

This faction has undoubtedly been reassured by polls that say Trump can win, so the -- so the possibility that Haley can also beat Biden is irrelevant to them.

They prefer Trump, and there's no reason for them to rethink their position. So long as Trump remains clearly electable. Wow, you know what, this paragraph really reveals who the author is.

More in just a second. First, you know what it's like living in pain, so let me tell you about Relief Factor.

If you're living in pain every single day. It has a hold on you.

And I understand. Imagine getting up every day. And walking out the door. Without dragging that heavy burden of pain you with.

That could be your reality.

It was mine. And it is now mine.

Relief Factor isn't a drug. It's a daily supplement, that helps your body fight the pain by fighting inflammation.

100 percent drug-free. Developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain. And over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start. And 70 percent of them have gone on to order again. It's only 19.95.

And it comes with Relief Factor's feel better or your money-back guarantee.

So why not give it a try?

It's ReliefFactor.com.

Or call them at 1-800-4-Relief.

1-800-4-Relief. There's no better gift for yourself and your loved one than feeling good again.

ReliefFactor.com.

Ten-second station ID.
(music)
Wow. This -- this faction, he writes, is undoubtedly reassured by polls that say Trump can win. So the possibility that Haley can also beat bide citizen irrelevant to them.

They prefer Trump. And there's no reason for them to rethink their position. So long as Trump remains clearly electable.

Wow. So what you're saying, unless we can come up with a crime, we can convict him of.

This is your problem, on the left.

There is no difference between causation, and correlation.

In the case of Trump. Only getting stronger, every time, the left charges him with another bogus crime.

I mean, honestly, the media -- you know, should have learned this in 2016.

Would have been better if you just ignored him.

But you can't help yourself. Which only makes him stronger, as -- as -- as you keep saying, he's got to be stopped.

For what?

For what?

Stopped for what. Because fascism is already here.

It's why you can smear in the press, with the help of government agencies.

It's why you only want PC judges to hear your case against Trump.

It's why you have to go to social media to get them to silence anyone who disagrees with you.

It's fascism.

And, by the way, you're telling us, you fear him the most.

Any American who is awake may not even like Trump's style or what he's done. But if you fear him, well, he's the right guy for me, huh?

He's the right guy for people who believe in fairness or the Bill of Rights.

Now, the problem with this, is your lefty school teacher unions. And your lefty universities. Have so corrupted the education regarding the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

To further your goal of a communist, fascist, or some sort of totalitarian state. That those who are on the right, many of us, who are now fighting for the opposite of you, may not even be fighting for liberty and justice from all.

Because they don't even know what that means. You failed to teach the Bill of Rights.

And how it's supposed to apply, to all people.

Finally, he says, there's a small percentage of Republicans who say, they will support Trump, unless he's convicted.

Wow.

Haley, therefore, has no chance of getting more than a small fraction of Trump's current supporters to add to her collection of Trump's skeptical Republicans.

She might make a respectable showing as number two. Thus, setting her up to be Trump's vice presidential nominee, if he will have her.

In which case, her entire campaign will have been largely for show. Indeed, it will have served chiefly as a conveyer belt for Trump skeptics, to get on board with the Trump train in the end.

Now, wouldn't that be rich?

If that happens, you on the left, will have to change from Nikki can save us, to Nikki is worse than Trump.

Now, how can I predict that?

Well, George Bush was Hitler, if you remember. Well, so was Ronald Reagan.

But George Bush was Hitler. And then John McCain was worse.

Men Mitt Romney was worse than Hitler and John McCain combined. Then Trump once again was returned to Hitler.

And you have already announced that Ron DeSantis is worse than Hitler/Trump.

So, I mean, what's really funny. The only people that are worse in real life than Hitler, were Stalin and Mao.

One of which, you and your universities completely ignore his atrocities. And the other, had a president glorify and even hang a Christmas ball with Mao's face on it, at the White House Christmas tree.

Anyway, this author goes on to the Washington Post. If that's what she's up to, then the joke will be on the Koch Network, JP Morgan Chase, and Jamie Dimon and others who have looked up to her as the last hope for stopping Trump.

Oh, well. You know, in that list, you failed to mention BlackRock.

Proving the point of 70 percent of voters, nothing will change.

You're clearly for her. But you won't be in the general.

How do I know?

Just look at your track record.

Of John McCain.

Who you loved! Was the ultimate bipartisan guy. But the minute he was the candidate, this guy, who you love, most Republicans didn't. You went crazy on him.

He's Hitler.

Has THIS Islamist organization BROKEN state laws for YEARS?!

A new report accuses CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, of breaking state laws with its political activism. Glenn Beck reviews this story...

GLENN: So let me go over what is -- what's happening with -- with CAIR.

You know, the Founding Fathers were obsessed over accountability.

Because they knew one thing. You know, they did. They must get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets. They studied every single system of government.

Every single republic that survived. That didn't survive.

Why didn't it survive?

They studied all forms of government. They were trying to come up with something that could -- could set people free.

And they -- they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place, because they knew, once power slips into the shadows. They knew, once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored from law, what rises is not a republic.

It's a machine. And that's what you're seeing right now. We're not living in a republic. We're living in a machine.

We -- I think we're staring at one of the largest unregulated political machines operating in the United States ever! Okay.

There have been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping investigations, two watchdog groups. One of them is NCRI and the Intelligent Advocacy Network.

And they have concluded now that the political arm of CAIR, he known as CAIR action, has been operating nationwide with no legal authority, to do the things it has been doing for years now.

They're not allowed to raise money. They've been raising money. Coordinating political campaigns.

Not allowed to do it. Endorsing candidates. Not allowed to do it, they're doing it. Mobilizing voters, shaping policy, functioning as a national advocacy network.

They don't have the legal authority to do any of it. And no one has said anything.

Now, according to the report, CAIR action doesn't just have a paperwork problem.

Investigators found, state by state, that it lacks the license, the registrations. The charitable authorizations, required to legally solicit money.

Excuse me. Or conduct political activity, in any of the 22 states in which it operates. Think of that!

I know how serious this is, because I remember what it took to get the license in each and every state, for Mercury One.

So we could operate. We could raise money. We could do things in those states. It's a lot of work. And if you don't do it, you go to jail. And they find out pretty quickly.

Okay?

22 states, they operate not one, zero legal authorization.

In Washington, DC, the city where CAIR action is incorporated, the department of licensing and consumer protection told investigators, they have no record of CAIR action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.

Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial.

How long would you remain in business, if you never had a business license?

You think somebody would figure that out?

In a sooner time than I don't know. A couple of decades!

This report means, that the organization if true, is engaging in unlicensed inner state solicitation.

It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation. Wire fraud and false statements to the IRS. These are big things.

And this is not political rhetoric.

Are these phrases written in black and white. In the law.

And by investigators. In California, one of CAIR's most active hubs. The state attorney general has said, the state attorney general of California has said, same pattern here!

The state of California, to say, yep. That's what's happening here.

CAIR action has never registered with California's charitable registry.

Never filed the required CT1 form. And has no authorization whatsoever to request donations. But they've been doing it in California anyway.

Fundraising, selling memberships. Issuing endorsements. Mobilizing voters. All of that has been done by CAIR action. There's no record of any license. Any permission, ever. Going to CAIR. From California. That's according to their attorney general.

Wow!

That's pretty remarkable, huh? How does that happen?

It's not just the coast. It is also happening to the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West. Every state hosting its own CAIR action fundraising page, complete with the donate now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate. That's bad!

Now, here's where the stakes rise.

Because CAIR action presents itself openly, as the political arm of CAIR National.

Investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity.

Could become CAIR's national responsibility as well.

So, in other words, the parent, CAIR itself, might be held responsible.

Meaning, this is want just a rogue subdivision.

This could implicate the entire National Organization of CAIR.

Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny. It's also Texas.

And I think Florida have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization. Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations. I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.

How long have we been saying this?

But every time, I have pointed out anything about CAIR, I have been called an Islamophobe, which shuts everything down. That is a word, developed by people like CAIR, to shut people down, so you'll never look into them.

So what happens next?

First of all, the reports have to hold up.

Regulators now have an obligation. Not a choice. An obligation to act!

State attorneys general in these 22 states, they might pursue fines, injunctions, criminal referrals.

All of them need to take action!

The IRS, needs to take action. Investigate tax exempt fraud. Treasury Department may review foreign influence or money flow violations.

Anything coming from overseas.

Oh, I can't imagine it. They're so buttoned up, right now.

DC regulators may determine whether CAIR actions entire fundraising operation has been unlawful from the beginning.

But here's the deeper question. And it's not bureaucratic. This one is constitutional.

Can the United States tolerate an influence machine, that operates outside of the legal framework, designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?

If I hear one more time, talking about how AIPAC has just got to be investigated. Fine. Investigate.

I'm not against it.

Investigate.

Why aren't you saying anything about CAIR?

It feels like it might be a tool in the hands of a foreign operation.

Why aren't you saying anything about this?

Because here it is! It's not like, hey. I wonder why.

This is it! This is it! This isn't about silencing CAIR. Muslim Americans are -- that are full citizens, they have every right to speak. Every right to vote. Every right to organize. Participate in public life. No question! They can disagree with me, all they want.

But no organization. None! Not mine. Not yours. Not theirs. None. Should operate a nationwide political network, in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow!

That's called a fourth branch of government!

That's how a fourth branch goes.

By the way, CAIR has placed all kinds of people in our Department of Homeland Security. Et cetera, et cetera. This organization has done it!

This is -- you cannot have a fourth branch of government.

They must abide by the laws.

No -- you can't have a branch that nobody elected. Nobody oversees.

Nobody holds accountable.

We talked about this yesterday, on yesterday's podcast. So what needs to happen is total transparency. CAIR action has to release its filings. Its donor structure. Its compliance records, if they exist. Equal enforcement under the law. I don't want them prosecuted in special ways.

Look, if AIPAC is doing the same thing. AIPAC should be prosecuted exactly the same way.
I want it equal. I want constitutional rule.

If conservatives, if Catholics, pro-Israel, environmental, Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does CAIR action.

And if CAIR action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists, and pro-Israel and conservative groups. The law cannot be selective. It can't be!

I don't know how that's controversial in today's world. But somehow or another, they will find a way.

The Feds have to review all of this. If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.

Americans deserve to know what exactly, who is influencing our elections. Who is shaping our policy? Who is raising money in their state?

Especially physical the organization claims political authority, that it doesn't legally possess.

Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson. When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum because power abhors a vacuum!

Unregulated, political power abhors a free people. So while it's about CAIR, it's not about Muslim Americans. It's not about religion.

As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.

One standard for everyone or no standard at all!

And that more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.

Glenn Beck WARNS Democrats Will Return with VENGEANCE in 2026 | Glenn TV | Ep 473

America is entering a year of historic upheaval from Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the spiritual shock that followed, to Trump’s tariff revolution, China’s rare-earth war, collapsing energy grids, AI displacement, and the looming fights over Taiwan and Venezuela. Glenn sits down with BlazeTV hosts ‪@deaceshow‬ and ‪@lizwheeler‬ along with his head researcher Jason Buttrill, to break down the biggest stories of 2025. Plus, they each give their most explosive prediction for 2026 that could shape our politics, economy, national security, and civil rights in ways Americans have never experienced before.

Trump Just SHATTERED the “Expert Class” - And the Deep State is in Total Panic

For nearly a century, Washington DC has been ruled by an unelected “expert class” operating as an unconstitutional fourth branch of government — accountable to no one, removable by no president, and shielded from all consequences. Glenn breaks down why Trump’s firing of the Federal Trade Commissioner could finally dismantle the 1935 precedent that empowered technocrats, how Ketanji Brown Jackson exposed the Supreme Court’s embrace of expert rule, and why America cannot survive a government run by people who never face the voters and never pay for their failures.

GLENN: Okay. So President Donald Trump fired the federal trade commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. Federal Trade Commission is an administrative position. I mean, this is under -- the head of the federal trade commission is a cabinet member.

And if the justices uphold Trump's firing of Slaughter, that will overturn a precedent that was horrible, that was set in 1935. Remember, 1935, we're flirting with fascism. You know, everybody thinks. Because they haven't seen the horrors of fascism yet.

Everybody thinks fascism is neat, blah, blah. So what they do is they say that this is an independent person. And the president can't fire them. Because they're, you know, an independent agency.

Well, wait. That would make a fourth branch of government. Our Constitution is really clear.

There is no such thing as a fourth branch of government. Right?

So that's what they're deciding. Now, here is Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is talking about how we really need to listen to the experts. Cut four.

VOICE: Because presidents have accepted that there could be both an understanding of Congress and the presidency. That it is in the best interest of the American people to have certain kinds of issues, handled by experts. Who, and I think you -- in your colloquy, Justice Kagan, have identified the fact that these boards are not only experts, but they're also nonpartisan. So the -- the seats are actually distributed in such a way, that we are presumably eliminating political influence because we're trying to get to science and data and actual facts, related to how these decisions are made.

And so the real risk, I think, of allowing non- -- of allowing these kinds of decisions to be made by the president, of saying, everybody can just be removed when I come in, is that we will get away from those very important policy considerations.

VOICE: We will get away from US policy considerations, and it will create opportunities for all kinds of problems that Congress and prior presidents wanted to avoid, risks that flow inevitably, just given human nature, the realities of the world that we live in.

GLENN: Okay.

Now, remember, what she's saying here is, we have to have experts.

We have to have experts. We have to have experts that don't really answer to anybody. Okay?

They're appointed. And then they're just there. This from a, quote, judicial expert, who cannot define a woman, because she's not a doctor.
She's not a scientist.

She needs an expert to define a woman.
That's how insane her thinking is. Okay?

Now, I would just like to ask the Supreme Court, when you want things run by experts, do you mean things like the State Department, or the counsel of foreign relations, that have gotten us into these endless war wars for 100 years?

Because these are the things that Woodrow Wilson wanted. He wanted the country run by experts.

Okay. So is it like the Council of Foreign Relations, that keep getting us into these endless wars.

Or is it more like the Fed, that directs our fiscal policy, that has driven us into $38 trillion of at the time. We have all powerful banks. That strangely all belong to the fed. And endless bailouts for those banks. Are those the experts that you're talking about?

Or are you talking about the experts that are doctors, that gave the country sterilizations, lobotomies, transgender surgeries. You know, or should we listen to the experts, like the ones that are now speaking in Illinois, to get us death on demand like Canada has, with their MAID assisted suicide, which is now the third largest killer in Canada. MAID, assisted suicide, third largest killer in Canada. Experts are saying, we now need it here, and they're pushing for it in Illinois. Or should we listen to the experts? And I think many of them are the same experts strangely, that brought us COVID. Yeah. That was an expert thing. They were trying to protect us. Because they need to do this for our protection. So direct from the labs in China with the help of the American experts like Fauci. We almost put the world out.

Should we listen to those guys?

Or the experts that brought us masking, and Home Depot is absolutely safe. But Ace Hardware wants to kill grandma. Which are the experts that we want? That we want to make sure that we have in our lives? That they don't answer, or can't be fired by anybody. Because I'm pretty full up on the experts, myself. I don't know.

But you're right. These experts would keep the president in check, and they would keep Congress in check. And you in check!

And the Supreme Court, which would be really great. You know, and you know who else they would keep in check? The people.

So, wow, it seems like we would just be a nation run by experts, and our Constitution would be out the window, because that's a fourth branch!

And if you don't believe me, that, you know, these experts never pay a price. Can you name a single expert?

Give me a name of an expert, that gave us any of the things that I just told you about.

Give me the name. I mean, give me the name of one of them. Give me the name of one of them that went to jail. Give me the name of one expert that has been discredited.

You know, where your name will be mud in this town. Do you know where that came from?

Your name is going to be mud. It's not M-U-D. It's M-U-D-D, that comes from Dr. Samuel Mudd. Okay? He was a docks man. He was an expert. He was that set John Wilkes Booth' broken leg. He made crutches. He let him stay there for a while. He claimed he didn't know him, but he did know him.

In fact, one of the reasons they proved it.

Is because when he pulled the boots off -- when he pulled both of his boots off, right there, in the back, you couldn't have missed it. It said "John Wilkes Booth."

He's like, I have no idea who he was.

Yeah. Well, you knew him in advance. This was a predetermined outpost where he could stay. It's clear you could know him.

The guy was still discredited, we still use his name today. Your name will be mud in this town.

And we think that it's like dirt, mixed with water kind of mud. No, it's M-U-D-D, Dr. Mudd. The expert that was so discredited, went to jail, paid for his part of the assassination of -- of Lincoln.

Give me the name of one of the experts in the last 100 years, that has brought us any of the trials and the tribulations. The things that have almost brought us to our knees. Give me the name of one of them. Can't!

Because once an expert class, they don't answer to anyone. So they never go to jail.

Wow! Doesn't that sound familiar. People never going to jail!

There's a rant that's going around right now, that I did in 2020. And everybody is like, see. He's talking about Pam Bondi.

No, no. I got to play this for you, a little later on in the program. But I want to get to the experts and what the Constitution actually says about that. Because you don't need my opinion. What you need are the actual facts. So you can stand up and say, yeah. I think Ketanji Brown Jackson is an idiot. Okay?

And she's really not an expert on anything. Especially the Constitution. You need the facts, on what the Founders said. Because the Founders would be absolutely against what they did in 1935.

Because that just -- what does it do?

It just sets up a fourth branch of government.

EXPLAINED: Why the Warner-Netflix/Paramount Merger is DANGEROUS for All of Us

The biggest media merger in modern history is unfolding, and Glenn Beck warns it’s the most dangerous consolidation of power America has faced in decades. With six corporations already controlling 90% of the nation’s news and entertainment, a Warner-Netflix or Warner-Paramount megacorporation would create an unstoppable information cartel. Glenn exposes how “too big to fail” thinking is repeating itself, how global elites and “experts” are tightening their grip, and why handing our entire cultural narrative to a handful of companies is a direct threat to freedom. The hour is late — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

GLENN: By the way, it's never good when you consolidate power. It's never good.

And what is going on now, with this Netflix Warner Brothers paramount stuff, I don't care if Larry Ellison is a conservative or not.

No one should have that much power.

I did a show, gosh, four years ago. I don't even remember when I did it.

We looked it up. In the 1980s. 19 percent of American media was owned by over 50 companies.

Forty years later, 90 percent of the media is watched and controlled by six companies.

National Amusements, the Red Stone Family controls CBS, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, gaming and internet. Simon & Schuster Books. That's all one.

Disney, ABC, ESPN, History Channel, Marvel, Star Wars, video games and print.

TimeWarner controls CNN, Warner Brothers, HBO, Turner, video games, internet, and print media like TIME. Comcast, MSNBC, NBC.

CNBC, Telemundo, the Internet.

New Corp. Fox. National Geographic. Ton of others. Sony, with a ton of movies, music and more. The big six. They're valued at nearly $500 billion.

Now, this is something I put together five years ago. So I don't even know. This is probably not even valid even today.

And now we're talking about Netflix, Warner Brothers. Paramount, into all of these one giant corporation. It's wrong! It's wrong!

We can't keep putting all -- everything into the hands of just a few! It's what's killing us!

We've got to spread this around. We can't -- the government cannot okay mergers like this.

They're big enough he has

What happened -- what happened when the banks went under, or almost went under in '08. What did they say the problem was?

They said the banks are too big to fail.

Too big to fail.

Because they were providing all of the services, everybody needs. All the time. And there's only a handful of them.

So if they fall, then everything falls.

Right?

That was the problem. So what did we do to fix it?

We made them bigger!

We let them merge with other banks, and gobble up other things!

And started taking on the local banks.

And so now, your banks that were too big to fail. Are now even bigger. And their failure would be even worse!

What is wrong with us?

Seriously, we're not this stupid.

We're not this stupid.

I think we're just this comfortable.

We just think the experts have a plan. No. The experts don't have a plan.

Their plan is stupid. Their plan is to make it bigger.

Every time it fails. Make it bigger. Push it up.

Make it more global.

No. Haven't you seen what the entire world is like?

The entire world is over-leveraged. The entire world is on the edge.

The entire world is being redesigned.
So what do we do? We don't allow them to make things bigger! We need to start taking more individual and local control of things. They're making it bigger. Which will make the problem bigger. And make the problem so big, you won't be able to do anything about it, because all the experts. All of the heads. They'll all -- there will be six of them. And they will all be sitting in one room.

And they will all be making the instigations. And with them, making those decisions will be all the heads of all the countries around the world, that you're not going to have a say in any of that. They're already trying to do it with the WEF.

But if -- if the Supreme Court says, no, experts matter. And the president can't fire them. You will not have any control over anything!

We're at this place, where we can back out. We can turn around.

We can do it.

It's not too late. But the hour is growing very late.

I don't know about you, I don't like being this.

Up to the edge, you know what I mean?

I would rather have lots of breathing room, between me and the edge of the cliff.

But we don't have that anymore.

Everything has to be done right.

And we have to pay attention.

And the worst thing we can do is make things bigger.

Dream big, think small.
