Erin Lee’s story should ENRAGE you. Her daughter, who she describes as a ‘shy, vulnerable, barely 12-year-old’ kid, was invited by her teacher at a new school to attend art club.

GLENN: Okay. Let's meet this poor mom. Erin Lee, full-time working mother of three. Hi, Erin. How are you?

ERIN: Hi, Glenn. I'm well. Thanks for having me.

GLENN: You bet. You bet. I read your story, and I just -- honestly, I'm glad that this is not happening to my children. Because I don't think I have the restraint to be a decent human being, if this were happening to my children.

Can you tell us, exactly what happened?

ERIN: Yeah. So last year, my shy, vulnerable, barely 12-year-old daughter, who had just moved to a new school, at the height of covid protocol, was recruited by her art teacher and her home room teacher, to attend art club after school. So she texted us. We gave her permission for art club.

When she got there, it was actually GSA. Or gender and sexuality awareness or alliance club. And the teacher had invited in a completely unqualified outside presenter who did unthinkable things with the children. And I'll give you the CliffNotes version. She told them, what you hear, in here, keep in here. She used flags to use defining words. Telling them, if they're not fully comfortable in their bodies, that means they're transgender. Then she would hand out the nags and stickers, and bracelets. And other flags. She told them, that queer is a label for when they're still figuring out their sexuality. She did the gender bread person, which explicitly asked kids who they're sexually attracted to. So 11, 12, 13-year-olds with peers and adults in the room, talking about their sexuality.

She handed out her personal contact information. And invited them to connect on teen chat platforms, like WhatsApp and Discord, where she knows that parents are not monitoring the conversation. And she told them, that families may not be safe, and it's okay to lie about where they are.

And, in fact, the art teacher as my daughter was leaving the room that day, pulled her aside and said, remember, you don't have to tell your mom.

GLENN: Okay. So, so what happened? You bring this up. I've seen the emails.

What has happened?

ERIN: So they got -- my daughter the bottom in the car. And I could say see on her face, that something was wrong. So we probed. And we were really fortunate that she told us what happened. We've seen all kinds of horror stories about teachers and presenters like this, leading kids down this transgender path.

You know, leading them into medical transitions. So we're lucky we caught it. Right when it happened.

GLENN: Good heavens. Somehow remained calm enough to follow the appropriate channels. We were livid. We were confused. We didn't even believe this was real at first. So our first step was to contact the woman who gave her personal information to my child. And her response was delusional. It doubled down on everything that she did. And so we demanded a sitdown with the principal. And he confirmed that this in fact happened in secret. That they always hold this meeting in secret. Because as a public school, they have to offer children a safe space. So essentially a safe space from their families. We took it to the school board. They ignored my pleas for months. When I finally got a sitdown with the board member. It turns out, she's best friends with the woman who came into the classroom. She volunteers with her organization. This woman has an organization called Skittles for kids five to 11, to talk about their sexuality and gender identity.

And our school board member volunteered with Skittles. So we realized -- and again, these FOIA emails showed that they immediately colluded when I objected to what happened. They immediately colluded to the school board to keep me quiet. They referenced parents who find out that the school board has removed. They talked about sending social services into my home, because I didn't like what they did with my child.

GLENN: And this is really -- this one is so far -- I mean, all of it is over the line. But when they actually suggest, that maybe we need to do a well check on this child. Basically internally, saying, is there something that the school district can do, to put this parent in their place. Maybe they're being abused. This child is being abused. Or maybe because they are transgender, the parent doesn't want to admit it. So we're going to send a well check team. That is a direct threat to you.

MARLO: Absolutely. And my daughter never expressed that she had any trouble at home. They never spoke to me.

I never spoke to any of the people that did these things, before they decided to talk about calling CPS. I think they knew, we were at our most vulnerable moment as a family, that they caused. And in the state of Colorado, if my child had said to PPS, that I wasn't affirming her transgender identity. I firmly believe they would have removed her from the home --

GLENN: Oh, yeah, they would have.

ERIN: And the people knew this. Right? When they suggested that CPS come to our home to remove our child. And if our child is not under our care, then they have full control of her brain and her heart.

GLENN: My gosh, Erin, can you believe you live in the United States of America?

ERIN: You know, Colorado is off the rails, in particular, but this is happening everywhere. I mean, this isn't just unique to California and Colorado. This is happening in conservative states, and in conservative communities. This kind of secretive sexuality programming. And vilifying parents. You know, assuming parents are evil, until proven innocent. It's happening everywhere.

GLENN: So where does it stand now?

ERIN: Still has not been addressed. Nothing has --

GLENN: Nothing has happened. Force nothing has happened.

ERIN: Nothing has happened. We got a lot of false promises from school administration. You know, they showed empathy. I realize now, it was just gas lighting. They realized the repercussions that could potentially happen. And it's happening for them now. And they tried really hard to keep me quiet by making false promises, but my FOIA request. And their actions show me that it was just gaslighting.

GLENN: So do you have any other parents that are standing with you?

ERIN: You know, it felt like sometimes I was alone on an island with this issue, and I wanted to believe it was an isolated incident. The more we looked into it, we realized just how deeply this agenda runs in our school district. And obviously, the school board is involved. The teacher's unions are involved, at the local level. At the state level.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

ERIN: So we realize that this is an issue, that isn't going away.

GLENN: The -- the teacher's unions. Can you tell me about the involvement of the teacher's unions?

ERIN: Yeah. Well, they're just deeply involved with our school board. With our decisions.

The woman who was in the classroom. This outside presenter is an employee of the county health department. We have proof that she's had multiple meetings with the local school board president.

I'm sorry. School union president. So we -- we just have realized they're all deeply entrenched with each other.

GLENN: So what are you going to do now? I know your child is out in a Christian school, doing fine now. But what are you going to do?

ERIN: Yes. And I have a second grader who remained in the school district for the rest of the year, who will now be moving to a charter school, that was founded on the principles of parental rights. And it's a pretty conservative school. So we're lucky we removed our children.

But parents need to get louder. Community members. Grandparents. We have to speak up.

Especially at the school board level. And let them know, that what they're doing isn't okay.

Demand curriculum transparency. Other parents need to get their kids out of this district. It's not safe. So I continue to sound the alarm, because we've tried every other avenue. And it didn't work. I mean, we contacted the police after this happened. Had it been on the playground, that would have been my first call. The only reason why I remained calm is because it was with a trusted teacher in a closed setting. And I didn't fully understand everything that happened. But the police indicated that because there was no exposure of body parts or physical touch, that there are no legal repercussions. But our sheriff did tell me, I need to get loud. Because just because it isn't illegal, doesn't mean it's not wrong. And other parents deserve the opportunity to protect their children like I couldn't.

GLENN: I'll tell you, listening to your sheriff -- sheriff, that sounds like a good sheriff.

What town are you in? Or what district are you?

ERIN: So I'm in the Poudre School District, which is Fort Collins, Colorado. We live in a small suburb outside of Fort Collins. Only about 10,000 people.

GLENN: Isn't that generally --

ERIN: It's conservative.

GLENN: Yeah. It's conservative, right?

ERIN: It is. So they targets our area. Some of those FOIA emails revealed that they realized that this is a conservative community, so they're going to target it, and put as much programming as they can. And they did. The week after this happened, this same woman was in our Boys and Girls Club with elementary age students. Same thing. Don't tell your parents. And some parents found out and raised their concern. Now she's removed from Boys and Girls Club, but she's in our libraries. She's on our Health Department --

GLENN: So how can this be in a conservative community? Nobody is standing up with you?

ERIN: Well, now they are.

GLENN: Okay. Good.

ERIN: It's all been so secretive, and that's their intent. And, again, in those emails, you see, how we deal with those parents as a precedent moving forward. So they knew, they didn't want anyone to find out. And as soon as I found out, they knew there would be some serious repercussions, and they tried very hard to keep me quiet. But now that this has gaining so much attention. There's a lot of people in the community, who have spoken up. And a lot of parents when have had the same thing happen.

I've had multiple families reach out and say, the same thing happened with the same teacher in that the school. What do we do?

A lot of people just didn't know. They didn't know to connect the dots.

GLENN: That is unsafe -- that is an unsafe teacher.

ERIN: Who still teaches. And still is the GSA sponsor at that school.

GLENN: How -- I mean, because of the teachers unions, you'll never get rid of them. But I am a big supporter of the arts, huge supporter of the arts.

I'm an artist myself. And I -- my children's school really doesn't have the arts in their school. It's an academic school. They don't do the arts very well. And I have to tell you, it bothers me. But I would never put my kid in that art class.

I think that's an unsafe teacher. When I can't --

ERIN: Agreed.

GLENN: When I can't go and meet with a teacher. And know that I'm hearing the truth about what my child is doing, I got no time for you.

These people think, you know, like Joe Biden said, that these are their children, while they're there. No, they're not.

You work for me. I don't work for you.

ERIN: That's the assumption, that these children belong to them. And this happened, our school has hired three administrative staff, a chief academic equity diversity inclusion officer, making triple what a teacher makes. They hired a DEI coordinator, and they hired a LGBTQIA+ coordinator.

GLENN: In a town of 10,000.

ERIN: Well, for the school district. But her -- her job description literally says, coaching students. Advancing LGBTQIA programming. And increasing gender support plans. And I don't know if you know what those are.

GLENN: I'm not really sure. Can you give me an extra minute? Let me do a commercial, and come back?

All right. Back in just a second. If it's happening in Ft. Collins, it's happening everywhere. And what's really disturbing. She's saying, no. We were targeted because we are a conservative district.

I -- I have to tell you, we're talking to Erin Lee, she's a full-time working mom of three. And now has another full-time job of just trying to figure out what's happening in her school and school district. I have to tell you, these teachers unions, if you are a teacher and you are still paying your dues. And I -- parents, start telling your teachers this. If you are still paying dues to a teachers union, you don't have to belong to, you're part of the problem. I don't care how great you are. How trusted you are. I cannot trust you, if you're still helping fund this kind of stuff!

Anyway, Erin. Welcome back.

ERIN: Yeah.

GLENN: So you were saying this new gender equity consultant at the school, is -- is doing something that I don't think I've heard of. What was it?

ERIN: Gender support plans. And they're -- they're secretive. So I'm not shocked that you haven't heard of them. But everyone needs to be aware. Because they do these everywhere. Not just here in Colorado. It's happening everywhere. These gender support plans are essentially transition plans for children.

So written plans to transition their gender. And usually these happen in secret. The genders support plans have verbiage for the educators to gauge parent's support. And it's a supportive low. They don't tell them. And it's happening to our elementary schools here. And this person was hired to increase gender support plans. So secretly transitioning kids in our public schools.

GLENN: This is evil. This is just straight-up evil. It is. I mean, I -- who do you think you are? And to keep it secret. To keep it secret. That's the problem. You want a transition plan. Great!

Present it at the school board hearing. Let the community see it. You know. And if you want to protect the kids, you know, their identity, while they're doing it. How can you do that? How can they transition, and keep it from the kids, at school?

They'll just keep it from the parents? My gosh, this is evil. Just evil.

ERIN: Right.

And not just that. Our this LGBTQ coordinator, and our director of services, and other school staff have directed all nurses in our district, to, first of all, the child comes to you, for anything ask for a pronoun. So if the kindergartener has it coming, the first question is, what's your pronoun. If I call home, what name do I call you?

But they've also been instructed to not tell parents if a child is suicidal, cutting, or attempting suicide. So now we're keening suicide attempts from parents as well.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. And what is the reason for that?

ERIN: Because parents aren't safe. Parents might not be safe. So if we tell parents that this child is suicidal, it will make it worse.

GLENN: Get your kids out of schools. Get them out of these schools.

Votes for people that will give school choice and the money will follow the children. This has got to stop. It's got to stop.

Erin, you contact me any time that you need some backup, reinforcements, you need people to know about something. You call me any time, all right?

ERIN: Thank you. I will.

GLENN: God bless you. Thank you so much. Erin Lee in Fort Collins, Colorado. Where are you, parents? Where are you, conservatives? Are you standing up?

“15 Smoking Guns”: Is Mahmoud Khalil a THREAT to America?

The Left and Legacy Media insist that anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder who helped organize protests at Columbia University in the wake on the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, is just “supporting Palestine.” But Capital Research Center Investigative Researcher Ryan Mauro argues that the evidence is clear: he poses an actual threat to Americans’ safety and should be deported. Ryan lists 15 “smoking guns” that Khalil and his activist group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest, support taking radical action against Western civilization. They seem to have an affinity for arson, his group called for a repeat of the Oct. 7 attack on US soil, and one group in the coalition even declared itself a literal part of Hamas.

GLENN: Ryan, welcome to the program, how are you? Right, hey, it's great to be with you.

GLENN: It's great to be with you. This is an amazing article, the 15 smoking guns, that show, this guy is clearly a terrorist threat.

I think I got to number three, and I'm reading this. Like, how is this even an argument? How this guy even here, still? Honestly, why isn't he even in jail, here in America? Can we go through these, one by one?

RYAN: Yeah, absolutely. And I think -- I would preface this by saying, honestly, we're thankful that he's deported, and we can all applaud that. But we shouldn't necessarily be impressed by that.
(laughter)

GLENN: It is a pretty low bar here.

RYAN: It is. And the fact that the Trump administration hasn't involved to any degree that I'm aware of. Those are the monitored groups. That's why I have this information available. They came out with this, and kind of got put on the defensive. And now Mohamed Kahlil, a group he's a part of that we will talk about, is more powerful than ever. All the pro-Hamas seditionist groups are fundraising off of this.

GLENN: This is crazy.

RYAN: And this is -- they didn't work with those to justify what they were doing. They just kind of did it.

GLENN: Okay. So let me take this point by point with you.

First point, Kahlil's group seeks to incite and carry out terrorism on US soil, including copying the October 7th atrocities.

RYAN: Yeah. So the group that he is a leader of, Columbia University apartheid. Which is actually a coalition of 100 student groups.

They post odd their social media base. Multiple times, that they were telling their comrades, involved in this little intifada. Primarily to the United States.

They talk about Israel. To, quote, look to the tactics of the Palestinian resistance, which were inspired action, and to rise like a flood. When they think flood, what they're doing, is they're referring to the October 7th attacks because Hamas refers to it as Operation Jerusalem Flood.

So that's how that would be interpreted. October 7th, good idea, for US soil.

GLENN: Number two, his group praised the October 7th attacks and Islamist-backed violent uprisings in Bangladesh as part of the global intifada against American imperialism.

JASON: Right. So they view themselves as part of a global intifada that is both Marxist, Communist, actually some anarchist elements, and Islamist. It's all one thing.

They view this as a part of a network.

GLENN: His group said, quote, we must genuinely threaten the state, I imagine that's America.

So much, we are killed, jailed, tortured, disappeared, and targeted in America. End quote.

RYAN: I think they -- the goal is doing that. To approve a sacrifice. They called it to achieve liberation in America. What they're doing, they and their comrades talk about, they refer to America as turtle islands. And basically, if a native -- what they're saying, just as they want to replace Israel with an Arab state of Palestinian, their goal is to replace the United States with a Native American state of Turtle Island.

GLENN: Give me a break. First of all, can we just -- I'm sorry to do this here. But let me --

RYAN: Go for it.

GLENN: Can we stop with the Native Americans were so much better than every other human being alive?

They were humans.

They were warring all the time, just like every other race and group of people. They were enslaving. If they didn't kill you in war, they enslaved you after war.

Please, can we stop!

Humans are humans. This -- this ridiculous -- well, these were Native Americans. And so they were perfect.

Shut up!

Grab a book. Read a little history. Okay. I'm sorry. Go ahead.

RYAN: No. Thank you, for saying that. Especially -- a lot of these people, they hate religion.

But they model the characterization of Native-Americans on Jesus Christ.

When you look at, they describe it as a gay man. And Native Americans have decided. Because they were pure. They were killed by capitalism. But anyway --

GLENN: So is there any -- I mean, are people that stupid, that they think, that a Marxist, communist, Islamist group is going to hand over America?

To the Native American nations?

Are they that -- I mean, really?

RYAN: I mean, watching the way the protesters talk on their personal social media pages.

A lot of this is performative.

GLENN: Yeah.

RYAN: And it's more about they feel scared for the future. For legitimate reasons. They feel there's no safety net. They feel no one is coming to help them.

So they drive to which ever group is talking about the most far sweeping change.

It's not what they're -- and then saying, oh, that's a great idea. Let me join that group. It's more, I'm scared, because my God, what am I going to do? I don't know if I can -- and they speak the language, and they bring them in.

GLENN: Number four, Kahlil's group called for attacking the military and the police, en masse. And dismantling the state infrastructure, assuming it's America.

RYAN: Yeah. And you can tell. Because on a lot of these posts, these are several together. So they do keep bringing them back to America.

They will cite the violence in Bangladesh, or what Hamas did as an example to follow.

So that particular post, after going over and praising the Bangladesh were attacking the police and military and surveillance state.

They have the obligation to beat them there. After saying, this is -- they escalated in this way.

GLENN: So if this isn't -- if this hasn't been bad enough for you to shut the pie hole. To say, this guy, he's just a freedom fighter. There's no hope for you. Let me go on. Number six. Kahlil's group seeks the eradication of Western civilization!

RYAN: Yeah. I mean, what more can you say? It's right there. And they talk about burning a lot of things down, too. You'll notice that patterns throughout these points. The example they gave is a lot of burning down prisons, burn down this, burn that.

They're a big fan of anarchists. Or arsonists. Arsonist terrorists.

GLENN: I have a former Prime Minister of England, Liz Trust coming in, today, for a show. And I can't wait to talk to her because I would like to hear her opinion on, what the hell is wrong with all of you people over in Europe, and in England.

How do they not see that they're going to be an Islamic state, if they don't turn this around, right now.

And it may be too late.

I mean, how -- how are we missing this in the West.

RYAN: I think, part of it, is that there's an ability to recognize the degree to which all of the extremes, all the seditionist elements are kind of coming together.

It seems like, in people's minds. They're in separate boxes.

How the Islamists -- sad, but it's not that high.

GLENN: Oh.

RYAN: They're not putting together the anarchists. The white nationalists are increasingly in there. You put it all together, and you rook at the polls that show how many people support them and you add them up, then you will see the totality of the problem.

GLENN: Gosh.

Number seven, Kahlil's group asked violent extremists abroad for help in organizing uprising.

Number eight, his group asked for help from militants in the global south, in achieving its goal of eradicating western civilization. And fighting the fascism, engrained in the American consciousness.

RYAN: There's the Antifa reference. See, it's all coming together.

The antifascism, Antifa reference.

GLENN: Kahlil's group, number nine, threatened to shut down Columbia University, unless it eliminated the police presence on campus and severed all ties to the New York Police Department.

Which if they did that, just in Columbia, that accomplishes so many of the other goals.

RYAN: Yeah. Right. And just it's amazing that the schools even tolerate -- even the threat. How are you led to this on campus, at all.

GLENN: Kahlil's group really likes to see things set on fire. I love that one. Explain.

RYAN: Yeah. That's what I was alluding to before, where they're giving specific examples of what was going on in Bangladesh, that should be replicated. And how they set fire to the state broadcasting networks headquarters. And they set fire to the prison. They set fire to the government offices. Set fire to the state vehicle.

Then there was an arsonist terrorist in California who tried to firebomb a federal building, he firebombed a cop car.

Lit a building on fire. Looted a building. On college campuses. And that's all fine and dandy. They said, that's a wonderful thing, and everyone cheers.

GLENN: Number 11, Kahlil's group had terrorists teach Columbia students.

RYAN: Yeah, so he put together a virtual event. That future to leaders of this group. That anyone that knows this stuff. Thirty seconds, you would know this is a front. For the popular front for the deliberation of Palestine, which is like the Marxist counterpart to Hamas. They work together, and they're both backed by Iran.

To -- and there's some academic exercise. We heard the viewpoint, anything that was challenged. No, just come in, and tell the students what reality is. And that's what they did. And they taught the students that hijacking, that was done by the terrorists, are an inspiring thing.

GLENN: Number 12, Columbia protesters were told to riot by a Chinese communist party entity. And they complied hours later.

RYAN: Yeah. Yeah. Just the -- all you can do is laugh at it. It's so absurd in some cases. So over 100 protesters from Columbia University, went to the headquarters of people's forum, which we know from the Capitol Research Center profile on them, is heavily, if not completely funded by the Chinese Communist Party. Like the leader is over there in China and in Asia. And this is all known and proven.

And so they said, you know what you guys should do? You should riot. And then a few hours later, Kahlil's group goes and they riot. So they're incited by the Chinese Communist Party in that instance.

GLENN: Again, we're talking about a guy, Columbia University student that is -- that is really behind a lot of the stuff, that was happening in Columbia University. All of this really, you know, Jew hatred. Israel hatred stuff.

And the people on the left are going, you can't do that. How dare you do that. Well, yeah. You're -- you're either part of the problem, or you just are ill-informed or uninformed.

You're living in a self-contained box of ignorance. Where there's three more left. And I will get Ryan to comment on those in just a second. First, let me are just take 60 seconds to break and tell you. I've watched the real estate market spin out of control. Right itself. And then spin out of control again. Dozens of times. Over and over and over again.

And it's a minefield to say the least. And any real estate agent that can navigate it halfway well is a successful one.

GLENN: We're talking to Ryan Mauro. You can follow him on X, @RyanMauro.

His website is Ryan Mauro. That's spelled M-A-U-R-O. RyanMauro.com.

And we're down to the last couple of points that you're making in this great op-ed on -- on the Blaze News and Blaze.com.

Let's see. We have 13. Kahlil's Group -- their stated goal is to topple all institutions that benefit from colonial, racial capitalism, and dismantle the state.

JASON: Yeah, so it's an anti-government group, just like the left likes to talk about, the crazy right-wing militia type forces. But then it happens. The Islamist Marxist friendly group, saying the same thing, and civil rights icon.

GLENN: Kahlil's group boasts about vandalism of campus property.

RYAN: Yeah, and I included that just to show people that the same people that do that type of thing, you can't just dismiss it. Like, it's all part of the same thing. So there's broader implications. It's not just about the spray paint.

GLENN: The last one. Number 15, a large part of Kahlil's coalition declared itself a literal part of Hamas. Oh, my gosh.

RYAN: Yeah, so the Students for Justice in Palestine, which is biggest group behind all of these protests, and, by the way, I already spoke to you. I completed by study for Capital Research Center. Where I found over 150 pro-terrorism groups, were behind the protests.

Literally, 150.

So this group is one of them.

And so Kahlil's group is a coalition, and probably the biggest group within his coalition is sue for justice in Palestine, which is nationwide. Which is the biggest group involved in all of this stuff. It's kind of widely known that they celebrate the October 7th attacks, because people were shocked. But people were so shocked, they didn't read the rest of the statement that they put out.

Because the rest of the statement, they actually say -- let me clarify something. The resistance -- we're not saying that we're in solidarity with them. We are saying, we are part of them.

GLENN: Jeez.

JASON: They cleared themselves to be part of a designated terrorist organization, Hamas and you just say the other groups that are involved in October 7th.

They're part of all those groups that illegally -- illegal to be a part of. And here's the kicker that I just recently found out.

Do you know who else is a member of Kahlil's group?

GLENN: Satan.

JASON: Ilhan Omar's daughter.

GLENN: You have to be kidding me.

JASON: She was arrested for her activism with this group. She tweeted that she is an organizer with Kahlil's group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest, and the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at Columbia.

So think of it this way. Students for Justice in Palestine, since they are a part of Hamas, and then Ilhan Omar's daughter is a part of Students for Justice in Palestine, what does that say about it?

GLENN: What does it say about Ilhan Omar?

JASON: Right.

GLENN: So are these -- because the language is so Marxist. It's strangely almost disarming, instead of it being Allahu Akbar. Which -- what is his center? Marxism? Revolution? Or crazy Islamist?

RYAN: They come all insane. Because I monitored all these extremists, all these divisionists. I call them the seditionist movement. But I bring them together. From the anarchist to the Communist to the Islamist to the white nationalist.

And I can't tell the difference in -- in the -- between them.

They switch out the nouns. But it's all the things. Revolution. Discovering along ethnic, racial, political lines. US isn't a legitimate state.

It's more this guy is aligned with the PFL, the Popular Front Liberation of Palestine, which is backed by Iran. But it's kind of like -- it worked in tandem with Hamas, or as close as they could be. But they're Communists.

GLENN: Unbelievable. I can't thank you enough for everything that you do. I mean, you are fighting the good fight. And doing all the heavy lifting on it, and I really appreciate it.

Why the Department of Education & USAID Must be Dismantled

President Trump is doing all he can to dismantle the Department of Education and USAID, but the Left is up in arms! For instance, there's Rep. Hank Johnson, who tried to argue in favor of the Department of Education, but ended up revealing his true beliefs about illegal immigrants. Glenn, Pat, and Stu explain how the Dept. of Ed. has really affected our kids and why it, along with USAID, should be exposed for the destructive organizations that they are.

European Union Admits TERRIFYING Truth About Digital Currencies

The head of the European Central Bank just admitted that the EU has been planning to roll out a "digital Euro" for OVER 5 YEARS. Wait, we were told that was a conspiracy theory! But now that it's ready to go, the EU is bragging about it. Glenn explains why CBDCs are a dangerous pivot away from the emphasis on personal freedom that the West has long championed. If the EU adopts a CBDC, it should fracture our alliance, Glenn says. Anybody who's advocating for a currency that the government can PROGRAM and TURN OFF is no friend of America or the Trump administration. But it's not just the EU, Glenn warns. Our Federal Reserve is also developing one. Glenn makes the case that Trump and Congress must BAN THIS NOW.

GLENN: Let me start with Europe. With the president of the European Central Bank. The ECB. I love central banks. Don't you, Pat?
PAT: Oh, they're the best.

GLENN: Pat sitting in for Stu again, who is just so sick.

Yesterday, he was vomiting from all the truffles he was eating on the couch, while he was watching soap operas.

Anyway, Christine Lagarde. She's the president of the Central Bank. It's basically our Fed. And they're all the same. Here's what she said, and it's a lot of blah, blah, blah. So I don't know how long I can take it. I'll summarize it if I can't take it for two whole minutes. But here she is.

VOICE: Nature doesn't like vacuum.

GLENN: Vacuum.

VOICE: And we started working on the digital euro.

GLENN: Hmm.

VOICE: Way back.

GLENN: Way back.

VOICE: Actually when I started my term five and a half years ago. And I'm not claiming, you know, parental -- parentality on the digital euro, because my colleague Benoit Kura (phonetic) had already committed a speech on this matter before I arrived, but I certainly carried on with that project, and subsequently Fabio Panetta on the board, and then Piro (inaudible) who has replaced Fabio.

GLENN: Okay. Okay. Okay. I can't listen to somebody who is talking about Fabio. Look, here's what she's announcing. First of all, let's remember that for years, Christine Lagarde and everybody else, both here, foreign, and domestic, have said that any worry about a CBDC is just a conspiracy theory. They have silenced. They have discredited anyone who warned of the dangers of this. But now, all of a sudden, I guess we all forgot that. Because now they're ready! And the steaks cannot be higher. We, I'm telling you, 18 to 48 months, our whole world is going to be different. They are ready to launch this now, and the stakes for privacy, free markets, and individual liberty, especially anybody who kind of likes the Constitution, they're at risk. Okay? This is a really dangerous pivot that is going on right now, and I think it should fracture our alliance. Anybody who is advocating for small government, personal freedom. You know. Hey. Privacy.

I don't think you should be in bed, and Defending those who are going down the road of Europe right now.

Years ago, CBDC. That's central bank digital currency. That's like Bitcoin. Except, the point of Bitcoin is, it's untraceable.

It's completely private. And nobody can stop you from using it.

CBDC. That's a tinfoil hat conspiracy. I'll never do that.

Why would we do that?

In fact, in 2019, Mark Carney, who was the head of the Bank of England back then. He said, CBDC, you are so misguided with your fears.

And he said that, while he was at Jackson Hole. You know, they have that economic symposium, where all the really cool people go to. And they talk about things. And when we, who are not the cool people in attendance go, that sounds spooky. You're just a tinfoil hat person.

Anyway, that's where he made that speech. That it's just misguided.

There's nothing to fear here.

Because we are just experiment. Oh. Kind of like Mengele.

I'm sorry. That was bad. Kind of like, let's say, the atomic bomb. There is nothing to atomic bomb, we're just doing experiments. Why would you be experimenting, if you didn't think that it would be something that you would eventually use.

So, anyway, 2021, Jerome Powell, who is our central bank guy. The Federal Reserve.

He said, quote, CBDCs. I love this one.

Not on the immediate horizon.

Okay. So you're admitting that it is on the horizon!

So in 2024, she, Lagarde, she -- she comes out, and she told the European parliament, that CBDC skepticism stem from conspiracy theories. Saying, the digital euro is not going to be big brother, surveillance.

Remember, what a central bank digital currency can do, and will do, at least over in the Soviet -- I mean, in Europe. Will be that it will track everything that you buy. Everything you sell.

Everything you make. Okay. Not a problem. That's fine.

I don't have anything to hide. Except, it can be turned off! You don't own -- like, I can go to the bank and say, I want cash. I want my cash out. Okay?

You'll be suspected of being a terrorist, if you do that. What's the problem? Hey, that's freedom, baby.

But you can take the cash. With the central bank digital currency, you don't own that. There's nothing to take out. They own that. The central bank and the government, they own that. So you have no place to go, but through them. And if you decide with be I don't really like that, they can turn your currency off.

And make no mistake, that's not a tinfoil hat conspiracy, that's what's happening in China!

So people have been -- there's a guy, practice sawed, I think his name is. He wrote a book, The Future of Money.

It came out in 2018. We talked about it on the program. And he was made to look ridiculous.

Theft!

Anybody who is a Libertarian, they've been talking about, you're crazy.

Anybody who spoke about it, on any platform during the Biden administration.

They're crazy!

And you were throttled or suspended, because you were spreading misinformation. Okay?

So I got the message. It's a farce. It's not happening.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Except, now they've just announced that it is happening. Okay?

Back in 2020, the European central bank said, 86 percent of all central banks are working on this right now.

Oh! Okay.

Okay. Then as she said, in 2024, there's a two-year pilot. But now she said, there's a rollout coming for digital currency, from the central bank of Europe.

So it went from conspiracy, to reality, in a year!

Love how that works. And we're all just supposed to not notice it!

Okay.

So here's -- here's why this is so dangerous, and something you must pay attention to.

I am convinced that especially ASI, is going to be a tool. Remember, like everything. Like everything, even Scriptures. Scriptures, that's a tool.

It's a gift given to you, if you would like to use it. But know that that powerful gift that you have, can fall into the hands of somebody else.

And they can twist it, and use it for very powerful, nefarious purposes. That's just the written word of the Scriptures.

Okay!

It will always -- everything can be used for good or bad. It depends on the people who are holding it in their hands. All right.

And I really am convinced that ASI, digital currency, that's all found in the Bible!

I mean, I'm in Bible territory here.

Specifically the last part of the Bible.

That -- are these the tools that are very much like the tools foretold.

That will be employed by the Antichrist, to snuff out anyone who dares to say, I'm really not with him.

Now, so they are -- China has already done this. They launched in 2020, with their digital yuan. It tracks everything.

And that gives you your -- your -- your currency. But it also gives you the currency to be somebody in good standing. If you don't do exactly what the state tells you to do, you're tracked, you're monitored. And guess who doesn't get to go on an airplane. Guess who doesn't get to take the train.

If we say who can't go into certain buildings. You!

Because you're no longer in good standing. And it gets worse and worse and worse, until you are literally living on the streets, only because you disagree with the government.

Don't believe me! Look it up. Now, the US is not far behind. We have got to pass -- and Donald Trump said he would sign it. We have got to pass legislation right now!

No central bank digital currency, ever!

In America. No -- no digital passport, ever, in America!

Because we're already working on a digital dollar here.

Europe's move is not isolated. It is a chess move. Well, they're doing it. And China is doing it.

Or we will do it. Because we will be left behind. I want to be left behind. There is going to come a time where you will hear me -- you probably will. Maybe. I don't know.

There will come a time where I will be like, you know, the Amish have it right. Maybe we should all be Amish. Now, I might just be saying that in a barn with cows and people all dressed in black. I don't know.

But there's going to come a time where I'm like, I think we should all get out of here. And go the other direction.

And it could be coming quickly!

Because what that means for privacy, for free markets.

For your individual choice, is beyond most people's understanding, today!

But you've got to educate. Remember, I said, there's going to come a time, where things are happening so fast, you will not be able to keep up with them.

You've already seen this in a good way with Donald Trump.

He came in. And it's not just that he had a plan.

It's also that we're using AI to find all of these things to correct!

Okay. That's why Elon Musk is there!

Tech support!

That's what speeding things up. Does and you haven't seen anything yet.

So when I give you these warnings.

Saying, hey, you've got to -- please, bone up on it. Please, go ask Grok today.

CBDC from Europe. What does that mean?

What could it do?

What are the good things. What are the possible bad things?

I think, in this case, the bad outweighs the good. Because it takes away any kind of privacy whatsoever. And hands it directly to a government!

Really bad! We'll go more in this in just a second. And so much more, just left this hour on the podcast.

GLENN: Okay. So let me explain. CBDC, central bank digital currencies. Their digital dollars, or euros. And they're issued by central banks. It's like Bitcoin.

Except, not. Here's the big difference: This will replace your cash with what are called programmable, trackable tokens.

Programmable, meaning, hey. We have inflation for gas. Or we don't want you buying so much gas, because we have to reduce emissions. Who is a central person who needs to go to work?

Everybody who has money in their bank, that's not deemed essential. You no longer can fill your tank with gas.

It won't work with any gas pump.

Okay. That's a programmable currency.

Every single transaction from buying bread, paying rent, everything, is programmable by the state.

Now, they say, oh, there's not going to be any data access. That's a conspiracy theory.

I don't believe you on the conspiracy theory, anymore.

You've lied and lied and lied.

And, by the way, in parliament. When they were talking about this, maybe in 2018, they were arguing that we can't pass any of this, until it's programmable.

It must be programmable.

And that means the government can cap your spending, block purchases.

Because, you know, can't buy fossil fuels.

Freeze your account, because you're no longer in favor with the government.

And free markets die!

Because they have a complete monopoly on money.

I don't know if you know this, but monopoly, isn't just the longest, most frustrating, most boring game ever invented. It's also a bad thing, when it comes to free money, free markets.

Bad!

Tenth amendment, by the way, reserves the power to states and individuals. CBDCs. They centralize control. They undermine federalism.

This is a betrayal of everything our republic stands for. It replaces liberty with technocratic tyranny. And if Europe embraces CBDCs and they're still allies, I don't think they're allies to small government, freedom-loving Americans. They're not. They're not.

This path puts them right, directly in the path of every brutal dictator, every fascist. Every German who was on stage after J.D. Vance was speaking to them.

That wept and said, if they want freedom of speech. We don't have anything in common with them anymore.

Because we're about to roll out a CBDC. And that will make sure that everybody only says the things we want them to say.

It is no longer a conspiracy theory. Europe is rolling theirs out, a social credit system will be next.

Leaked Documents Reveal INSANE DEI Plan for NASA | Glenn TV | Ep 419

We knew the Biden administration was obsessed with DEI and CRT, but we didn’t know how deep those sinister policies infiltrated every level of the federal government — until now. Thanks to brave whistleblowers at NASA and the Department of Defense, the roots of cultural Marxism have been exposed. What started as whispers in the shadows under the Obama administration morphed into a $100 billion NASA propaganda playbook leaked to Blaze News and Glenn TV. Never-before-seen documents reveal the dangerous plan to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in NASA’s Artemis mission and “put the first woman and first person of color on the Moon” — complete with a Nike deal. President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have launched a fierce counterattack to slash DEI policies and spending, but is it too late? Retired Brigadier General Christopher Walker, a combat veteran turned mole in the Air Force’s DEI office, tells Glenn there are still woke activists at the Pentagon. He’s seen the screenshots from the DOD chatrooms, and activists are panicking.
