Glenn: THIS is REALLY why the far-left INDICTED Donald Trump

Earlier this month, Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to be indicted on federal charges. He now faces 37 criminal charges on top of the 34 felony charges against him in New York state. But the two legal cases haven’t seemed to hurt the former president’s 2024 campaign. So what is this TRULY all about? In this clip, Glenn explains the REAL reason why the far-left is targeting Donald Trump so strongly: ‘They NEED you to be enraged.’

GLENN: All right. I want to talk to you a little bit about the indictment on Donald Trump. Now, to be honest with you, I spent two weeks on vacation, and just like if you're an accountant, you don't even want to look at the bill at dinner time because you don't want to worry about those numbers.

I was like that with the news. People kept coming up to me, did you hear -- all I heard was, did you hear what they did to Donald Trump?

I heard that over and over and over again. And I'm like, no. I'm not paying attention to the news for two weeks.

And it was nice. However, I have to be honest with you.

I haven't done all of my research, to have a legal point of view, on what is happening.

I've read really good opinions on is this a violation?

A federal law, the indictment is.

And I have heard from Dershowitz, that, no. They actually have a really good case this time. I don't know. I don't want to talk to you about the law. Because I'm not there yet. Let me just tell you what I think this is really about: This is not really, truly about anything other than, one, for those who have truly gone insane, putting Trump in jail. They will put him in jail. I believe that there was a dust-up last week, because Fox news said, a wannabe dictator. Right?

PAT: Yeah. Had a producer that put that chyron up, was fired over it.

GLENN: Well, good. Things are looking up at Fox. Things are looking up at Fox. Okay. So "would-be dictator."

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: So I saw Tucker Carlson. I watched something he did on Twitter about this. And he's absolutely right. It was brilliantly done. And he's absolutely right.

He is -- you know, a wannabe dictator puts his enemies and his foes in jail. And they'll do anything they have to. To teach anybody who is running against, a lesson.

We'll put you in jail.

It's not -- well, maybe it is. Maybe it is.

Let me be kind.

It's a really, crazy coincidence, that this happened on the same day, that it was released that, yeah. Looks like maybe $10 million in bribery. And we have the goods on Joe Biden and his son.

Same day. So what is this really about?

This is misdirection. And I want you to listen really carefully.

Because there are many facets to this.

It's about miss direction on the Biden crimes.

It is about putting Donald Trump in jail. But maybe not for the reason you think. Or even the people on the left think.

It is misdirection on the economy. It is misdirection on the dollar.

It is misdirection on the war. On really everything that actually matters. Okay? That's really what the pride flag thing is about too.

It's not really in support of gay pride.

It's really not. It's really not. You wouldn't be forcing this. I went over to London. There wasn't a government building, without the gay pride flag.

Not one. Not one. There were government buildings without a British flag. But a gay pride flag.

It -- it's incredible. Everyone is in lockstep. And it doesn't have anything to do with gay rights.

I mean, you know, I've got a lot of -- I have a lot of gay friends. I have a lot of black friends too.

I know you can't say that. But I know a lot of -- I work with. I hire gay people. It doesn't matter. They tell me the same thing, one after another.

This is out of control. This is out of control.

It's not about gay rights anymore. This Trump thing is not about Donald Trump. Certainly not about the law.

It is about one of two things, when it comes to him. Either ensuring he's the candidate.

Again, I don't know on the legal side yet.

Ensuring he's the candidate, by stirring it all up.

Or putting him in jail. But let's go with ensuring Trump is the candidate. I don't know if you've seen this. But over the weekend, I think, somebody in Congress, started talking about, are you a Romney Republican? Or a Trump Republican?

Now, notice they didn't say a Ron DeSantis Republican. Okay?

It's a Romney Republican. This is coming from the G.O.P. I'm sure of it. I'm sure of it.

Are you a Romney Republican? Meaning, I think, a reasonable Republican. One that will compromise. One that will work to get things done.

Or are you a crazy person?

First of all, let's just go on this.

That's a false choice.

Okay?

I -- Romney? That's the other side? Why aren't you saying a DeSantis Republican? And I'm not a DeSantis, Trump, or Romney Republican. I'm a constitutional voter. I don't care. I don't care about their personalities. I care about which one will actually protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. And not abuse the Constitution to protect the Constitution. You know, we -- we had to violate the -- the free market to save the free market. No. That doesn't work. You can't violate the Constitution to save the Constitution. But what this is about, is about enraging enough Americans, period. Enraging you. First of all, really? You want to play this game about putting people in jail? You're going to put him in jail, for documents that he had, and you -- and you're still telling us, there's nothing to do with your son? Really? Outrageous. Injustice. Inequality. You name it. Enraging. That's really, I think what this is all about. They need you. They need you to be to be enraged. That's honestly why everything that is going on -- that's why they keep poking and poking and poking and poking and poking at you. There is no other choice. It is their way, or you're out.

Met with a guy in Scotland, Neil Oliver. He was a huge BBC presenter. He's like the Indiana Jones of Scotland and Britain. Okay? He's an archeologist. A historian. Commentator. He did BBC documentary after BBC documentary. Well-known, loved in England. He's been canceled. And I mean as a human being, he has been canceled. He has lost everything. Everything. Because he spoke out against COVID. And then when they started pushing back on him, they were like, why did you push so hardback on COVID? And he's telling the truth. And he's telling the British people, you better wake up. And they are destroying him and his life.

They have to silence people and get you to be enraged. Because the one thing I heard over and over, which surprised me. Christian nationalism. I keep hearing Christian nationalism. I've never heard Christian nationalism. Never. Never. In my whole life. And I've been to all the secret meetings with the G.O.P. I've never heard Christian nationalism. But I want you to know, it's real. It's real. And they are creating it, just as they did the last time this happened. But they waited until it was over. I don't think they saw the opportunity at the beginning. This time, they see the opportunity.

What happened after World War II. Hitler suddenly became a Christian. Naziism was Christian nationalists. Socialism was nowhere to be found. It was a Christian nationalist movement. No. It was a socialist nationalist movement. That's what that was. But they changed -- everything became about Christians. And what did they do?

While Stalin gets away scot-free, killing more people than Hitler. Not to diminish Hitler in any way. Stalin kills more people. Mao kills many more people than -- than Stalin killed. Not to diminish Stalin's killing. And yet, the one we always talk about is Hitler. Why? Because that's the one they could make into a Christian nationalist, I'm convinced. Otherwise, they have to explain communism and socialism, and why it always leads to deaths.

If they can get you to talk about this one, they can get you to talk about Christian nationalism. And -- and let me be very, very, very, very clear. Hitler was not a Christian.

But this was in some ways a religious movement.

Just like what we're seeing in America. Is a religious movement.

There are new gods being introduced. And you must bow down to those gods.

You must pray at their church. Or you will be destroyed.

That was just in England, where I say what happened with the churches. The reformation. King England the eighth. All of that. People have already fought this battle over and over and over again.

We're fighting it. Everything that was fought over there, we just take for granted now. Always been that way. No. Never has been. Never has been.

They have to create the image, and the atmosphere of national Christianity. Christian nationalists.

They must -- the image, and the atmosphere. Let me explain that in 60 seconds.
(music)
When most of your time is spent in pain, the thing that you're constantly looking for, pure and simple, is any kind of hope.

Please, I can't spend the rest of my life this way. It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But there is one. There is hope. And I know, because I've been there.

I've suffered from some version that you're suffering now, probably less than you. But it took learning about, and trying Relief Factor to get my life back. I'm not an easy person to convince. I was skeptical. Because I went everywhere.

I tried everything. If you've been dealing with pain in your life, the three-week Quick Start is 19.95. It's a trial pack. Not a drug developed by doctors.

Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor. And about 70 percent have ordered more. It's ReliefFactor.com. ReliefFactor.com. Or call 800-4-Relief. 800-4-Relief. 19.95. ReliefFactor.com. Feel the difference. Ten-second station ID.
(music)
The one thing that you really need to understand.

I think I tweeted out last week, I was at the London School of Economics.

And some people go, well, that's where Hayek. That's where Hayek did his work. No, it's where George Soros does all of his work.

And in the courtyard, the main courtyard, they have this globe. It's gigantic. Okay?

And it's upside down. The North Pole is the South Pole. The South Pole is the North Pole.

The United States is on the bottom. All of those countries that have had social injustice and inequity, happened to them, are on the top of the world. They are literally turning the world upside down. Okay? You have to understand that this is nothing is coincidental. Nothing is coincidental. I don't understand how people can think that these are conspiracy theories, when they are so well out into the open, and have been done, over and over and over again.

I mean, look at history. It's the same story over again. But each time, for some reason, like if you read the Bible, you think, these people are dumb as a box of rocks. Twenty pages ago. Do you not remember? No. Apparently not. Apparently not. So let me go back to the Donald Trump indictment. Instead, let me take you instead, not to Florida. Let me take you to Los Angeles. This is truly what the -- what were those nuns, the trans nuns for whatever.

PAT: Yeah. The -- something of perpetual indulgence.

GLENN: Yeah. Whatever. That's what this was all about. This was not about the gay movement. This was not about the rainbow. This was not. This was intentionally trying to get the atmosphere for Christian nationalism.

So what happened?

The Dodgers trans show, they did it. But the left needs to create the villain. The villain that they created after the Second World War.

That Hitler that is Christian. So what do they do?

They get people to react.

And thank God, thousands of people did react, and they showed up at Dodgers Stadium, and they were peaceful.

They were peaceful. Exactly the way you need to be. You need to stand up. But you must stand in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Which is peace. But they're creating the atmosphere. So far, we haven't played into it, except for January 6.

And that was a very small number of people. Here's the -- here's the real problem: Why would we think our church leaders, who are men.

The people who lead us, why would we think them -- think that they will be stronger than us.

How many times have you caved? Have I caved?

How many times have we been conned or remained silent, because we have too much to lose?

Think about the leaders of our faiths.

What they have to lose. The position that they are in.

How many are going to actually stand up in that storm. That's exactly what happened, when they created the Christian nationalist back in the 1940s.
(music)

You must stand up. And return to God, the gospel, and the Bill of Rights.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
