How the 3RD WORLD just schooled America on freedom

The Biden Administration tried desperately to expedite WHO authority by granting it INSANE powers during potential future health crises in an updated treaty. Thankfully, though, several 3rd world countries voted AGAINST such a plan…despite Western democracies choosing otherwise. TheBlaze’s Daniel Horowitz joins Glenn to break down the latest on this story, plus he explains why the Biden administration is far scarier than the W.H.O…

GLENN: Welcome to the -- welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. There is a new addition to our international pandemic regulations that come from the WHO. They were -- they were meeting last week in Davos. And I wanted to bring somebody on, who has really been following this. Daniel Horowitz. He's a Blaze podcast host. Conservative Review. And senior editor for TheBlaze.com. Daniel, how are you, sir?

DANIEL: We are doing all right. Even in this perilous times.

GLENN: Yeah. Boy. I will tell you, I'm doing a show tonight, Daniel, on all of the things that are happening.

And I don't think -- we might touch on the WHO. And what they're doing. But that's not our main focus. Everything is being lined up for an emergency. And when that emergency is announced, you've got nothing. There's no emergency anywhere.

Can you talk to us about the WHO, and what they did with their new health policy?

DANIEL: Sure. There's actually a lot of positive news. And uncanny news as well. In which the east and the west have been mixed up in our lifetime. So essentially, to go over this. The Biden administration submitted 13 amendments, this international health regulation, that taken together, would serve to cancel out, all of the requirements to consult with the host country, before declaring a public health emergency in that region.

GLENN: Hang on just a second.

That wouldn't be -- when you say the authority. That's -- they don't -- the WHO, would not have to talk to our president. Or Canada's prime minister, or anything else. If they wanted to declare a health emergency in the United States or Canada.

DANIEL: Exactly.

GLENN: That's crazy.

DANIEL: And you can see that cross out in the language of the existing international health regulations.

GLENN: Correct.

DANIEL: By the Biden administration. If you remember, they did it quietly, no press release, no press conference. It was discovered three months later.

But we had the most unusual results. Most of my lifetime, I'm used to criticizing the UN. And similar organizations. Because of tin pots. Third world dictators. And we're like, man, you know, this is run by the third world. We need to pull out of it.

But here's what's happening now: We have become the communists. So it's the United States. Canada and Australia really pushed it. All of the countries we would consider as the Western Democratic nations pushed for it, but they were ultimately scuttled. Why?

Because 47 African nations led by Botswana, along with India, Brazil, and Russia, said, hey. We don't want a part of this. We're concerned about this.

We're concerned about the rushed time line of this. So it was ultimately voted town, because of the third world countries.

GLENN: Isn't that -- that is incredible. Just incredible.

So how is the west going to get it done, anyway? You know, they -- it's weird. They -- they just don't take no for an answer. They just find another way to do it.

DANIEL: I think what we learned from the last two years, is we're not governed by the rule of law. We're governed by the rule of political will. And whoever wields it and controls it, wins.

Unfortunately, that's where we are. So it's not a matter of a formal treaty or even some international regulation. It's funny. The fact-checkers were all over us, saying, well, the WHO can't force you tolerance anything. Yeah. That's why I'm saying, they need to preemptively say they're not doing it.

The reason why I drew attention to this, is because it's demonstrated the intent of the Biden administration. I'm more concerned about them than the WHO.

GLENN: Yes.

But you were hit by fact-check.org. The WHO has no authority to dictate U.S. health policy. And, in fact, because you're the -- the editor-in-chief of the Blaze, you were -- you were hit. TheBlaze was hit by Facebook. When they -- when they said, no. This is not true.

Because Cy Check Digest (phonetic) says it's not true. Do you --

DANIEL: It's kind of like the Amelia Bedelia book. And they do this on purpose. They take this hyper literalist approach. When you raise a political concern: Hey, why is the Biden administration truncating all the time lines for approval, as well as initiating any requirements to consult what the host nation -- in order to declare public health emergency.

They're like, well, WHO can't do anything to you anyway. Well, yeah. That's why we're saying, we need to stand up to that.

But the broader point is, that it demonstrates the Biden administration is not done with it. They're not done with covid.

It's not like they're moving on to gun control. Or other things. I mean, they might be doing that as well.

They see this as a permanent great reset. And they want to codify this permanently. So whether it's in the WHO regulation or not, this is what they plan to do domestically. And certainly, when you start hearing about monkey pox, and the necklace thing.

And the pediatric hepatitis pandemic, they're talking about, you definitely know that lockdowns, masks, or therapeutics, they're not done with that.

GLENN: Yeah. In fact, one of the articles that I was reading earlier this morning, as I prepared for this interview, was the fact that the defenders of this, are saying, this is not -- you know, this is not some crazy idea. Let me read part of it. Global pandemic response had relatively little coordination. Little unity. In fact, it was more like 1983 and 2009's mini TV series. V. Where politicians, personalities, social media accounts and others seemed like they were actually trying to help the enemy.

In this case, the COVID-19. That allowed the virus to kill over 6.27 million people and counting. That's why the World Health Organization is discussing the global pandemic treaty at the upcoming 75th world health assembly.

Yet, some celebrities, a bunch of social media accounts have been trying to, guess what? Trying to argue against a treaty. Yeah. Having no global agreement in place before the next pandemic is going to work out well, right?

So it goes into, how screwed up the response was. And if the WHO would have just had authority, to make sure that everybody was doing the same thing. And the right thing. How many lives could have been saved?

But we know the WHO was incompetent itself.

DANIEL: Well, what's remarkable about all of this, is that they never take ownership for the results of their incumbency.

Well, we were not in control. I can tell you that much. We yelped about it for two years, but no one listened to us. You had some isolated areas that over time, moved away from these policies. But for the most part, whether it was formerly coordinated or not, which it's hard to tell, nearly every corner of the world, coalesced around closing schools, around masking, around masks. Vaccination. Around denying treatment. It's funny. You look at the denial of the hydroxy and ivermectin in America. I mean, that occurred in almost every corner of the world.

So they got what they wanted. And yet, we have six times more cases now, even though it's kind of offseason in the summer, than we did, this time in late May early June of 2021. Even though, all the vulnerable people, out of at least three, if not four, were shot, and it keeps going and going and going.

They never take ownership for their policies. They act as if no one is vaccinated. As if we didn't try all these things.

And as if somehow, we were in power. We had zero control over that. So, in fact, they actually did this. I think what they're saying is that they want more like the Shanghai type of response at that time. And that's what they're working on.

GLENN: Because they say, another pandemic is right around the corner.

It used to be a 100-year pandemic. Now another one is right around the corner, and we have to have all of these -- all of these things to be able to control. Daniel, do you think that this is why the Biden administration is back in court, trying to force people on airplanes, to wear masks again?

DANIEL: There's no question. I think people think that the masks have been repudiated. And they have been with the scientific literature. We have been seeing evidence of negative correlation with outcomes.

Certainly, obviously, carbon dioxide problems and many other language development, problems with children are unbelievable, the UK helps -- the education department is openly talking with that. But it hasn't been repudiated politically. And I'm saying places like Lincoln Nebraska school district, bringing it back some place. Never gotten rid of it. You still have disabled people that have to wear it, when they go to their numerous medical appointments. So this is not even over with yet.

They actively want to continue it. And it's funny. When you look at Justin Trudeau, he announced his new gun control measures this week.

They were all standing around, wearing masks. While announcing that. I think it's a very powerful tool of control and submission, they absolutely do not want to let go. And there's very few states so far, that have been.

A few of them have. The financial legislature did. But the RINO governor just vetoed it. I mean, we have our work cut out for us.

I think too many of us are moving on to the next issue. Unfortunately, there are so many issues. But this is not done yet.

GLENN: The senior editor for TheBlaze.com. And host of the Conservative Review. Podcast. Daniel Horowitz.

Daniel, thank you as always. You know, he wrote about this. And he wrote about it accurately. The one thing about Daniel is he is -- he pays a lot a lot of attention to a lot of the details, and makes sure he gets it exactly right. And this has hurt our Facebook pages. Our social media. Because they said, that he was lying. He's not lying. That is -- what he wrote is absolutely true. Now, they say, we're not going to lose our sovereignty. Really? You can't speak about things. Isn't that a loss of personal sovereignty? A loss of freedom of speech?

Don't listen to these people anymore. They are dangerous. And they're going to become more dangerous, as we get closer and closer to the next real emergency. And that emergency is going to be fuel, any kind of energy, and food.

And it will be here by the fall. Make sure you're prepared. Tonight, I'm going to show you, on my Wednesday night TV show, the disasters that are coming. And they are Biden-made disasters. And how they will cripple us. Ask what the administration in the bureaucracy is already laying the foundation for. Because they're not only just creating it. They have a solution for those problems. And I don't think you're going to like them.

And you didn't the vote for any of them. Tonight, famine and blackouts. 9:00 p.m. you don't want to miss. Only on Blaze TV.

WARNING: How America Elects a Socialist President in 2028 | Glenn TV | Ep 444

The rise of Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old socialist who just won the Democratic primary for mayor, is not just a political earthquake shaking New York City — it’s a warning for the rest of America. Backed by Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the Democratic Socialists of America, Mamdani promises free everything, to tax the rich, and to dismantle capitalism. There’s nothing new about this tired strategy, but the media is propping him up as a new political genius. And with Democrat leaders lining up behind him, it’s clear: This radicalism isn’t fringe anymore. It’s the Democratic Party’s future. Mamdani’s rise is part of a larger movement that’s rewriting America’s values. Glenn Beck explains how New York is the prototype for the Left’s socialist makeover of America. Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Standford, gives a terrifying prediction on Mamdani’s mayoral race chances and warns the revolution is coming for mainstream Democrats. He also dives into MAGA’s frustration with the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.

INSIDE Trump’s soul: How a bullet changed his heart forever

“I have a new purpose,” then-candidate Donald Trump told reporter Salena Zito after surviving the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Salena joins Glenn Beck to reveal what Trump told her about God, his purpose in life, and why he really said, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, as she details in her new book, “Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland”.

GLENN: Salena, congratulations on your book. It is so good.

Just started reading it. Or listening to it, last night.

And I wish you would have -- I wish you would have read it. But, you know, the lady you have reading it is really good.

I just enjoy the way you tell stories.

The writing of this is the best explanation on who Trump supporters are. That I think I've ever read, from anybody.

It's really good.

And the description of your experience there at the edge of the stage with Donald Trump is pretty remarkable as well. Welcome to the program.

SALENA: Thank you, Glenn. Thank you so much for having me.

You know, I was thinking about this, as I was ready to come on. You and I have been along for this ride forever. For what?

Since 2006? 2005?

Like 20 years, right?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

SALENA: And I've been chronicling the American people for probably ten more years, before that. And it's really remarkable to me, as watching how this coalition has grown. Right?

And watching how people have the -- have become more aspirational.

And that's -- and that is what the conservative populist coalition is, right?

It is the aspirations of many, but the celebration of the individual.

And chronicling them, yeah. Has been -- has been, a great honor.

GLENN: You know, I was thinking about this yesterday, when -- when Elon Musk said he was starting another party.

And somebody asked me, well, isn't he doing what the Tea Party tried to do?

No. The Tea Party was not going to start a new party.

It was to -- you know, it was to coerce and convince the Republican Party to do the right thing. And it worked in many ways. It didn't accomplish what we hoped.

But it did accomplish a lot of things.

Donald Trump is a result of the Tea Party.

I truly believe that. And a lot of the people that were -- right?

Were with Donald Trump, are the people that were with the Tea Party.

SALENA: That's absolutely right.

So that was the inception.

So American politics has always had movements, that have been just outside of a party. Or within a party.

That galvanize and broaden the coalition. Right? They don't take away. Or walk away, and become another party.

If anything, if there is a third party out there, it's almost a Republican Party.

Because it has changed in so many viable and meaningful ways. And the Tea Party didn't go away. It strengthened and broadened the Republican Party. Because these weren't just Republicans that became part of this party.

It was independents. It was Democrats.

And just unhappy with the establishment Republicans. And unhappy with Democrats.

And that -- that movement is what we -- what I see today.

What I see every day. What I saw that day, in butler, when I showed I happen at that rally.

As I do, so many rallies, you know, throughout my career. And that one was riveting and changed everything.

GLENN: You made a great case in the opening chapter. You talk about how things were going for Donald Trump.

And how this moment really did change everything for Donald Trump.

Changed the trajectory, changed the mood.

I mean, Elon Musk was not on the Trump train, until this.

SALENA: Yeah.

GLENN: Moment. What do I -- what changed? How -- how did that work?

And -- and I contend, that we would have much more profound change, had the media actually done their job and reported this the way it really was. Pragmatism

SALENA: You know, and people will find this in the book. I'm laying on the ground with an agent on top of me.

I'm 4 feet away from the president.

And there's -- there's notices coming up on my phone. Saying, he was hit by broken glass.

And to this take, that remains part of this sibling culture, in American politics.

Because reporters were -- were so anxious to -- to right what they believed happened.

As opposed to what happened.

And it's been a continual frustration of mine, as a reporter, who is on the ground, all the time.

And I'll tell you, what changed in that moment.

And I say a nuance, and I believe nuance is dead in American journalism.

But it was a nuance and it was a powerful conversation, that I had with President Trump, the next day. He called me the next morning.

But it's a powerful conversation I had with him, just two weeks ago.

When he made this decision to say, fight, fight, fight.

People have put in their heads, why they think he said it. But he told me why he said that. And he said, Salena, in that moment, I was not Donald Trump the man. I was a former president. I was quite possibly going to be president again.

And I had an obligation to the country, and to the office that I have served in, to project strength. To project resolve.

To project that we will not be defeated.

And it's sort of like a symbolic eagle, that is always -- you know, that symbol that we look at, when we think about our country.

He said, that's why I said that. I didn't want the people behind me panicking. I didn't want the people watching, panicking.

I had to show strength. And it's that nuance -- that I think people really picked up on.

And galvanized people.

GLENN: So he told me, when he was laying down on the stage.

And you can hear him. Let me get up. Let me get up.

I've got to get up.

He told me, as I was laying on the stage. I asked him, what were you thinking? What was going through your head? Now, Salena, I don't know about you.

But with me. It would be like, how do I get off the stage? My first was survival.

He said, what was going on through his mind was, you're not pathetic. This is pathetic.

You're not afraid. Get up.

Get up.

And so is that what informed his fight, fight, fight, of that by the time that he's standing up, he's thinking, I'm a symbol? Or do you think he was thinking, I'm a symbol, this looks pathetic. It makes you look weak.

Stand up. How do you think that actually happened?

SALENA: He thinks, and we just talked about this weeks ago. He -- you know, and this is something that he's really thought about.

Right? You know, he's gone over and over and over. And also, purpose and God. Right? These are things that have lingered with him.

You know, he -- he thought, yes.

He did think, it was pathetic that he was on the ground. But he wasn't thinking about, I'm Donald Trump. It's pathetic.

He's thinking, my country is symbolically on the ground. I need to get up, and I need to show that my country is strong.

That our country is resolute.

And I need people to see that.

We can't go on looking like pathetic.

Right?

And I think that then goes to that image of Biden.

GLENN: You have been with so many presidents.

How many presidents do you think that you've personally been with, would have thought that and reacted that way?

SALENA: Probably only Reagan. Reagan would have. Reagan probably would have thought that.

And if you remember how he was out like standing outside.

You know, waving out the window. Right?

After he was shot.

GLENN: At the hospital, right.

SALENA: Had he not been knocked out, unconscious, you know, he probably would have done the same thing.

Because he was someone who deeply believed in American exceptionalism.

And American exceptionalism does not go lay on the ground.

GLENN: And the symbol.

Right. The symbol of the presidency.

SALENA: Yeah. Absolutely. And I think that affects him today.

GLENN: So let me go back to God.

Because you talked to him the next day. And your book Butler.

He calls you up.

I love the fact that your parents would be ashamed of you. On what you said to him.

The language you used. That you just have to read the book.

It's just a great part.

But he calls you the next morning. And wants to know if you're okay.

And you -- you then start talking to him, about God.

And I was -- I was thinking about this, as I was listening to it. You know, Lincoln said, I wasn't -- I wasn't a Christian.

Even though, he was.

I wasn't a Christian, when I was elected. I wasn't a Christian when my son died.

I became a Christian at Gettysburg.

Is -- is -- I mean, I believe Donald Trump always believes in God, et cetera, et cetera.

Do you think there was a real profound change at Butler with him?

SALENA: Absolutely. You know, he called me seven times that day. Seven times, the take after seven.

GLENN: Crazy.

SALENA: Talked about. And I think he was looking for someone that he knew, that was there. And to try to sort it out.

Right? And I let him do most of the talking. I didn't pressure him.

At all. I believed that he was having -- you know, he was struggling. And he needed to just talk. And I believed my purpose was to listen.

Right? I know other reporters would have handled it differently. And that's okay. That's not the kind of reporter that I am.

And I myself was having my own like, why didn't I die?

Right?

Because it went right over my head.

And -- and so I -- he had the conversation about God.

He's funny. I thought it was the biggest mosquito in the world that hit me.

But he had talked profoundly about purpose. You know, and God.

And how God was in that moment.

It --

GLENN: I love the way you -- in the book, I love the way you said that as he's kind of working it out in his own he head.

He was like, you know, I -- I -- I always knew that there was some sort of, you know -- that God was present.

He said, but now that this has happened.

I look back at all of the trials.

All of the tribulations. Literally, the trials.

All of the things that have happened. And he's like, I realized God was there the whole time.

SALENA: Yes. He does. And it's fascinating to have been that witness to history, to have those conversations with him. Because I'm telling you. And y'all know, I can talk. I didn't say much of anything.

I just -- I just listened. I felt that was my purpose, in that moment.

To give him that space, to work it out.

I'm someone that is, you know, believes in God.

I'm Catholic. I followed my faith.

And -- and so, I thought, well, this is why God put me here. Right?

And to -- to have that -- to hear him talk about purpose, to hear him say, Salena. Why did I put a chart down?

I'm like, sir. I don't know. I thought you were Ross Perot for a second.

He never has a chart. And he laughed. And then he said, why did I put that chart down?

By that term, I never turned my head away from people at the rally. That's true.

That relationship is very transactional. It's very -- they feed off of each other.

It's a very emotive moment when you attend a rally. Because he has a way of talking at a rally. That you believe that you are seeing.

And he said, and I never turn my head away.

I never turn my head away.

Why did I turn my head away?

I don't remember consciously thinking about turning my head away. And then he says to me, that was God, wasn't it?

Yes, sir. It was. It was God.

And he said, that's -- that's why I have a new purpose.

And so, Glenn. I think it's important, when you look at the breadth of what has happened, since he was sworn in.

You see that purpose, every day.

He doesn't let up.

He continues going.

And it brings back to the beginning of the book.

Where you find out, that there was another president that was shot at in Butler.

And that was George Washington. And how different the country would have been, had he died in that moment.

And now think about how different the country would be, had President Trump died in that moment. There would be --

GLENN: We're talking to -- we're talking to Salena Zito. About her new book called Butler. The assassination attempt on President Trump. And it is riveting.

And, you know, it is so good. I wish the press would read it. Because it really explains who we are, who Trump supporters are. Who are, you know, red staters. It is so good at that. She's the best at that.
