Donald Trump Was RIGHT. Kamala & Her Cronies FAKED a Race Fight

Glenn looks into the past to see who’s right: Donald Trump or the media. Trump claimed that Kamala Harris only started to emphasize her black heritage over her Indian heritage when it was convenient for her political career. The media called him racist for pointing that out. Well … Glenn opens the archives to prove that the media once sounded just like Trump – Don Lemon especially! Trump didn’t start a “race fight.” The media did. Glenn also reviews Harris’ first unscripted comment since launching her presidential campaign … and it went about as well as you’d expect.

GLENN: Let's start with Karine Jean-Pierre, about the plea deal on 9/11, that everybody is so happy about. Let's let those people not get the death penalty. What do they do? They only killed 3,000 people. Here's Karine Jean-Pierre.

VOICE: If you have a message to some of the 9/11 families, who wanted to see this kind of come to a fuller process.

VOICE: So, look, I think this is basically what Jake said. This is something that we had no involvement in. He didn't have any involvement in.

And so, the -- the White House played no role, in this process.

And the president directed his -- his team to consult as appropriate with officials and lawyers and Department of Defense obviously.

And, you know, we have said this before, you know, we -- we are -- you know, our hearts go out to the families, who lost the loved ones. On that -- on that day.

And, you know, the president of 9/11, has honored them every year, and the families, who, again, lost their loved one on that terrible day.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Okay. All right. Well, I feel like -- I feel like they've got things under control there at the White House.

Now, Joe Biden is -- is there on the tarmac. Waiting for the American citizens imprisoned in Russia.

And Biden is there. And he's -- he spots a cute little girl. Oh, God.

Cut two.

BIDEN: You all know we have a tradition in the Biden family. We say happy birthday. Right?

All of you.

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, Dear Miriam. Happy birthday to you.

Remember, no serious --

GLENN: Dating advice. Yeah. That's right.

BIDEN: God bless you. She's his daughter.

GLENN: Oh, isn't that great? Hugging her. Giving her a little kiss. Keeping her close, you know what I mean?

Hey, no serious in dating until 30.

I'm not interested until after 30. So we have that going on.

Now, in this hostage release, what was really nice was Joe Biden said, you know, Donald Trump couldn't have gotten this deal done. He wouldn't have done this.

You know, I've got Putin on the horn. And we made a deal.

Let's talk about that for a second.

There's a couple of things that are wrong with that. First of all, why do you think Putin got on the phone with you? Right at election time?

Do you think he's for Donald Trump? Or is he for you being president.

So he's making a deal, which makes you look good. What does that tell you?

Does that tell you that Putin is afraid of you?

No. He's doing PR for you. He wants the Biden administration, not the Trump administration.

Hello, ding-dong. Also, you did make a deal. And it was lousy for us. Why is it, they got more than we got?

Well, why?

Because you're desperate. You're desperate, that's why.

And he knows that. And he wants to play in, to the political narrative, here in America.

Oh. Okay. So now, when -- when he's on the tarmac, Kamala has her first unscripted moment in the last couple of weeks.

They -- they -- they are talking -- her and Biden. And he's just standing there like, I have no idea what she's saying. And they say, what -- any comments on what's about to happen?

And here's what Kamala says, twenty-one, please.

KAMALA: This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy, and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy, and strengthening alliances. This is an incredible day.

GLENN: What did she just say? Whatever circular -- oh, my gosh.

STU: By the way, Glenn. That is, I believe, officially the first question, she's been asked.

I may have missed something. I know RuPaul asked her a couple of questions. So not counting those. I'm saying, from a reporter.

And I believe it was, how do you feel about this amazing thing that happened? But she -- that's, I believe, the first question she's been asked.

And it was the easiest question imaginable. Basically, compliment yourself. And she still -- she still blew it.

That is -- we have to get her -- we just have to get her. You have to get her in front of these cameras.

As soon as people see this. You know, this little boom let goes away.

GLENN: You know, I tell you, I have a real problem with you, Stu.

Because you're so racist. She's still reeling from President Trump. Saying, I thought she was an Indian.

And everybody -- everybody in the press. And they know what they're doing. They are -- they are taking and twisting his words.

He's not saying, she wasn't black. He was making a comment of, wait. But she never called herself black, until this point in the election.

Ask then, when she needed the black vote, had he said, oh, I'm black.

Here she is, Kamala Harris, 2019.

Cut 22.

VOICE: Is -- because you are an idiot.

Okay. And I don't know if anybody knows that. I find that wherever I go, and I see Indian people at the supermarket or the street.

Everyone is like, you know that Kamala Harris is Indian, right?

It's like our thing that we're so excited about, running for president.

We're both Indian. But actually we're both south Indian.

STU: Stop. We need to stop and address one thing here.

What Mindy Kaling has just said has never occurred.

Never, ever, one time, in her life, did this incredibly famous person, who was on one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time have someone walk up to her and say, did you know that Kamala Harris was Indian?

That story never, ever, ever occurred. That is complete nonsense.

I just want to get that on the record.

GLENN: Okay. Next. Here's Kamala Harris in 2020.

She's not black. She's Indian. Listen.

KAMALA: Today on August 15th, 2020, I stand before you as the first candidate for vice president of the United States of South-Asian descent.

GLENN: Okay. Now, nobody is -- nobody is not -- nobody is saying she's not black.

Okay? Yes, she's black. She's Indian.

She's half black. She's half Indian. We know how science works.

You're the ones confused about what's a woman.

So we got it. Her dad was black.

Her mom was Indian.

Even Don Lemon, when she started saying, that she was black. He was started to be offended. Because he was like, she's calling herself African-American.

Listen. This is Don Lemon.

VOICE: Black woman.

VOICE: I agree with that. Is she African-American? No, no, no, no.

But is she African-American?

There is a difference. There's nothing wrong with that. Nobody is trying to take anything away from her. I think you're falling into a trap with that. All she had to do was say, I am black.

GLENN: Okay. Stop. Trouble she got in for that. She's not African-American. No, she's not. She's Jamaican-Indian.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that happen. Except, she uses it to play on constituents. That's the only thing Donald Trump was saying. He's not questioning who she is.

We all know who she is now. But she said, she was Indian. When she was needing the Indian vote.

And then she's black, when she needs the black vote. She's both!

STU: Yeah. And the way --

GLENN: Can you please. It's so bad. The way he actually said it. You know, she turned black a couple years ago.

And like they are so dishonest, that they're acting as if they think he thought she just turned black. Literal statement. Now, they know Kelly what they're doing. It's amazing as well. This is coming from the same people who say, you can change races based on just saying it, right?

GLENN: I know. I know.

STU: This is like the Rachel Dolezal thing, if it was literal.

They would be supporting it. If she was just Indian her whole life and said she was black, they would then say, she is now black. But because Donald Trump made the point in a critical way. All of a sudden, that's not possible. It's racist to even suggest.

GLENN: I know. I know.

So I would like to suggest, she's not only Jamaican Indian. Black.

But she's also southern. Because, you know, she was raised in Berkeley.

That's Southern California, isn't it?

Which explains her speech this week, the southern accent.

26.

VOICE: And you all helped us win in 2020. And we will do it again in 2024.

GLENN: That is -- that is Southern California.

I mean, she's -- she's all over it!

All over it. You know, I don't know if you heard Michael Malice, this week.

But I love Michael Malice. And what he said, on Joe Rogan, this week, about Kamala Harris.

VOICE: Officer Harris, you're either racist or sexist or ableist. So they will use --

VOICE: Yeah, because she's a retard. She's literally retarded. I mean, Ukraine is a country, in Europe. And Russia is another country, and a powerful country. And Russia invaded Ukraine, and that's wrong.

VOICE: This is really important, this is what could be unburdened by what has been. I think America is like a wine mom. Because it seems like she's three deep by noon. And she has got the three faces of wine mom. She's got happy drunk. Oh, my God, cackling. Cackling. Then there is trying to make drunk at work, where you're trying to make sense, but you don't. Space is around us all. And unites us all. And inspires us all.

And then there's, I'm being stern, so you don't realize how plastered I am. And I'm making a point. And that little girl was me. Now I'm going to up stairs, and don't knock on the door. Because I'm going to pass out. So those are the three ways she talks.

VOICE: Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically, that's wrong.

GLENN: Can I tell you something though, when I listen to that. I just think, this is so vapid. But then I think, how many Americans need it broken down, that way?

STU: Certainly, her voters do.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

It was a -- it's a bigger country. And so then that's wrong.

Oh, okay. Thank you. Mamala. I appreciate that. Now, I understand big things.

Big countries shouldn't go into little countries. Can little countries go into big countries? Would that be wrong?

I mean, it is -- it's just -- it's amazing. Amazing.

STU: Do we know, Glenn, how many various ceilings, she would be busting through with this?

Because we know we would have the first black woman. We would have the first woman.

We would have the first Indian. We would have the first south Asian.

We would also have the first Asian. And this one particularly, is bothersome. Because at some point, I don't know.

Maybe it's 20 -- somewhere in the 20 years from now.

Some great who can't understand son, or who can't understand daughter, of a person, a Japanese-American, who was put into internment camps by the president that every Democrat thinks is the best president of all time, is going to rise to power, and maybe be elected president. And they'll be like, actually, you're the second Asian president.

Sorry, Kamala won back in 2024. God forbid.

And sorry, you don't count. You didn't break any ceilings. You're a giant zilch. You get no recognition. Sorry about that. Good night.

I mean, that's sad.

GLENN: It's -- did you hear the flashback of Ford from 1978, or '79? Where he was asked. He was running against Ronald Reagan at the time. And they were in the primaries. And he's asked by this little girl. You know, I'm eight years old.

And I want to see some day, a female president. What is it going to take? What advice would you give an 8-year-old girl who wants to be president.

Okay. So he says, well, I'll tell you. We'll have a female president. It is inevitable in the future. But let me tell you how it's going to come. Okay?

This is 1978 or 1979. Let me tell you how it's going to come. Either the Democrats or the Republicans are eventually going to nominate a woman to be the vice president.

And the vice president will be serving in that administration, until the president dies or bows out. And that's how she'll become president.

That will be your first president.

STU: Really? I have not heard that. That's an incredible, biz moment. Why was he -- was he just so convince that had Americans hated women? Or was he convince that had they were sexist. Or what was the reasoning for that?

GLENN: I don't know. I would imagine that -- he didn't think that kind of change could be made.

STU: Really?

GLENN: For a president.

STU: So it's a different era. You know, I understand.

GLENN: Run by white men. Keeping women down.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Why Your Actions Matter More Than Words in the Eyes of God

Glenn Beck and Eric Metaxas expose the spiritual crisis gripping America’s churches — a moment they compare to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s warning before World War II. As the culture descends into moral confusion, too many Christians retreat into silence, claiming faith while refusing to act. Together, they argue that true belief demands courage — that “faith without works is dead” — and warn that neutrality in the face of evil is itself a form of complicity.

Is Socialism replacing the American dream?

The American Dream used to mean freedom and the chance to build your own life through hard work, faith, and independence. But today, it’s been replaced by comfort, consumption, and debt. Glenn Beck breaks down how America traded liberty for lifestyle, why socialism is gaining ground, and what it will take to reclaim the real American Dream before it disappears for good.

GLENN: I don't know if you saw the visualizing the American dream, Stu.

You know, what the American dream actually is, is that you can forge your own way.

You can -- you know, you can have a scrap of land, and grow your own food if up.

You can, you know, go to school. Not go to school.

You can find a job. If you're qualified for it, you have an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit.

But the percentage of Americans who say the American dream is retirement is 86 percent. Health care, 86 percent. Owning a home, 85. Raising two kids, 78. Owning a car, 72. Vacations, 71. Pets, 66. A wedding, 55 percent. That's the American dream, I can get married.

The American dream, if that's what you think, they've now estimated, the cost per household over the cost -- over the lifetime, retirement is $1.6 million. Owning a home now, 30-year mortgage, 20 percent you want to, is $957,594. Owning a car, buying and finance to begin with new cars every ten years is now $900,000 over your lifetime. Raising two kids to 18, plus four years of public college, $876,092. Two kids. Health care, over your lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000. Vacations, annual vacation from '22 to '85, $180,000. One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000!

That's more expensive than a wedding. The engagement ring, the ceremony, and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200.

There's a reason socialism is doing well. You look at that, and you're like, wow. I mean, if that's the American dream. And for a lot of people, that is the American dream!

That's not what the American dream is supposed to be, but, you know, once -- you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got a hold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff instead of freedom. It became stuff. And, you know, when there's a new report out. Let me see if I have that.

There's a new report out now that shows, first time home buyers made up just 21 percent of the home purchases. That's the lowest on record.

The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all-time high of '62. The median downtowns, reaching 23 percent.

The highest since 2023.

And also, where is it?

The last one is -- the median age for first time home buyers, in 1981, it was 29 years old.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Twenty-nine years old. In 2021, it was 33 years old.

What is it this year?

Median age, first time homeowner, forty.

You're 40 before you can buy any kind of home. That puts these things that people want, dream about, out of reach, until you're 40?

You know, 29 is one thing. But if you're not seeing -- you're not seeing your life really kind of settling down until you're 40, I -- I can understand why you're like, you know what, this system doesn't work.

Because you've never seen it work. It's betrayed you.

Or so you've been sold. It's betrayed you.

And everything is being pushed out of your reach. And when you're young, the one thing you're not is patient.

And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know, yeah. Well, socialism is neat because capitalism isn't working. How would you respond to that?

STU: I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for. But I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people.

That's not -- that's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.

GLENN: But they're not learning that anywhere.

They're not -- that is our responsibility! To teach those things. Because they're not learning it anywhere.

Glenn Beck Warns of 3 Economic Outcomes That Could Change EVERYTHING | Ep 467

Socialism is spreading fast among America’s youth, and the shocking election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City marks a major cultural and economic shift. Glenn exposes how runaway debt, record home prices, AI job disruption, and the collapsing stake in capitalism have led many Millennials and members of Gen Z to embrace socialism and communism. He reveals the three possible economic futures for 2026: two that are disastrous and one that could change everything if the Trump administration’s global financial overhaul succeeds. Plus, Justin Haskins, president of the Heartland Institute, joins to reveal some terrifying truths about why young Americans are embracing socialism from a poll he conducted with Rasmussen Reports.

The world is about to realize the DEADLY enemy we face

"The world doesn't understand yet. We're already in World War III," Glenn Beck warns. "That foe is not China. That foe is militant Islam." Glenn explains the battle we're currently facing and what's to come if we don't wake up soon...

GLENN: From New Jersey, it's Brian. Hello, Brian.

CALLER: Hello!

GLENN: Hey.

CALLER: Yeah. Thanks for taking the calls today.

GLENN: Sure.

CALLER: Yeah. I'm worried that we are headed towards another French Revolution-style because we have entire generations. Or actually people just not being heard by their representatives.

GLENN: Hmm.

CALLER: And it's not just here. It's around the world.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

I -- actually, I had scheduled for this time, I'll just do it some other time. Talking about what's happening in -- in England.

I think England is headed for a Civil War. And -- and it's very close.

I mean, you can't put 4,000 people. 4,000 people, in jail, or try them for hate crimes. And speech crimes.

You can't -- you can't do it. In England!

You can't do that in one year. And expect people to just put up with it!

You can't -- you know, we're -- we're -- America doesn't understand yet.

The world doesn't understand.

We're in World War III. We're already in World War III.

I don't know when it becomes a hot war. Or even a war that we on our side recognize. But we are in World War III. And that -- that foe is not China.

That foe is militant Islam, period. And, you know, when we have a situation to where people are -- when the government is just like, no. It's not a problem.

It's not a problem. You know. You've got illegals all over.

It's not a problem.

It's not a problem.

It is a problem. Don't tell me what -- what the problems are not!

Because we're the ones living it!

You're the experts, who keep telling us, no. It's going to work out fine.

And it doesn't work out fine. And it just gets worse and worse.

Oh. We can spend this money. No. It looks like we can't spend this money. Oh, we can afford this. No. It looks like we can't afford this.

You know, if we do this with Ukraine, it will work out fine. No, it didn't, did it? These endless wars, all of this stuff, don't tell me what the problem is. Listen to the people and start talking to the people. Honestly, this is the reason why I'm doing this today. I -- I need to hear from you.

I need to know what's on your mind, so I stay focused and -- and clear on what America is saying.

Because I don't think -- look, you know, me taking phone calls is -- is not a true representation of anything, but it does give me a sense of -- of where you are, as an audience. Maybe not as America, but as an audience. And there are lots of things that concern me. But I want to hear it from you.
But I think you're right! We're headed for real, real trouble. All you need is real economic trouble.

You start getting real, true economic trouble. 1930s kind of depression stuff. And we're in Civil War.

Dan, Oregon. Welcome!

CALLER: Hello, Glenn. How are you?

GLENN: I'm great!

CALLER: Yeah. Good. It's been a long time.

I guess it's been over ten years, since I've had a chance to talk with you. I was one of your first insiders. I was listening to you, since you were in Florida.

GLENN: Wow. Wow.

CALLER: So it's been a long -- yeah. It has been. And I can't say I've enjoyed all of it.
(laughter)

GLENN: Neither have I!

STU: I can't say that either, I'll be honest with you.

CALLER: You know, you were talking on yesterday's show, reminiscing with Stu about how you guys started. And I remember those old shows. And, you know, at the end of the -- the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Right.

CALLER: And there was a lot more entertainment. I remember I laughed a lot.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. I know. I know. Those days are long dead.
(laughter)

STU: There's nothing to laugh about now.

CALLER: Yeah. I -- I'm 78. I still work 40 hours a week. I love my job.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: Been married for 55 years. I have seven kids.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: I've got a daughter -- I've got a daughter who is in her 40s. And she has severe TDS. She -- we don't -- I mean, we're not cutting each other off. She hasn't done that at all. We're still very close as a family. But she was down visiting the other day, and got into a conversation with my wife. And I wasn't in the room. But Kathy said it was just like listening to one of those young people out on the street that was being interviewed by the news media. And she was -- and she was in tears about it. My wife and my daughter both.

And, I mean, I love her, and I continue to support her. She's a single woman, not by choice. She just never found the right guy.

GLENN: Yeah.

CALLER: And I really think that's part of the problem. Because she started reading -- back when Trump was first running, she started reading all of this stuff about him being misogynistic and all of this stuff.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

CALLER: And it's just gotten worse. I -- I'm at a loss. I really am. Because I -- like, I see the country doing better. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I still feel like that at least right now, we're doing better as a whole. But what do we do about -- what do we do about our kids about -- she went to Portland State University for the last two --

GLENN: Oh, jeez, for the love of --

CALLER: Well, yeah. For the last two years, she went to -- she went to a little college in Idaho called Ricks for the first two years, and Utah State.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

CALLER: And then she served a mission for our church in Brazil and came home, but then she went to Portland State University. And it just seems to have gone downhill from there.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. So, Dan, I think you are suffering from the same thing that almost all parents are suffering from. If you're not suffering from this, then, I mean, God bless you. You know, get on your knees and thank God. Because you are a lucky, lucky family. Everybody has in their family. I have it in my family.

And you have to ask yourself, what is your goal?

My -- what is your goal with your daughter? Your real goal?

CALLER: My real goal is for us to be united eternally. That's my goal. That's my goal as a father and has been to teach her --

GLENN: And how -- and how is that going to happen with politics?

CALLER: We just stay together as a family regardless of what politics does.

GLENN: That's exactly right. Exactly right.

I think we're in a place now where as parents, you can ask your kids, but it has to be honest. It cannot be trying to win. It has to be honest. How did you get there?

I mean, I remember. You know, we've talked about this before. And you didn't believe that before. What has changed?

Can you help me with that?

I would like to see what you're reading, or what that was.

And just ask questions. But they have to be honest. They can't be, you know, because I'm setting you up. Because I want to change your mind.

But keep a dialogue open with them. And just love them!

Just love them!

Because if you do anything else, you're going to drive them away. And then they're really lost. So just love them.

CALLER: Oh, I know that. Glenn, when she was young -- when she was young, I considered her one of the elect. And the Scripture says, that in the last days, even the elect are going to be deceived. And that's what I'm seeing. But everything you've said, I -- I am doing. I'm doing it that way. Because I know --

GLENN: Okay. Good. Then you didn't need to -- I appreciate it. I'm so glad you called me. But you didn't need to -- my advice, you already have it down. You're a very wise man.
