"White Women for Kamala" Zoom Call Takes a RACIST Turn

A Zoom gathering called "White Women for Kamala" apparently broke the app. Nearly 170,000 people, including celebrities like P!nk and Megan Rapinoe, reportedly gathered to discuss the best ways for white women to support VP Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign. But things quickly went beyond "cringe." Comedian Bridget Phetasy, herself a white woman, joins Glenn to explain why the entire premise of the call is rooted in racism: "It is actually white supremacy. You have to believe you are better than everyone else and that it is up to you to lift up all these poor people who can't help themselves and speak to everybody like toddlers...it's insanity!"

GLENN: All right. Let me see. I want to play a couple of things, here. Just a couple of pieces of audio, that I don't know. I'm a little uncomfortable with.

Here's white women for Kamala. Cut one, about women's privilege.

VOICE: White women. I mean, here we are. I have to admit when I was writing stuff down. It was like, parents for Kamala. I don't know. Why is it so difficult, as Glenn was saying, to acknowledge and address ourselves as white women?

But here we are. And I am so proud for all of us to be together, as women, as white women. We are the ones that have the privilege, of course. And we too have had to fight and continue to fight for equality, our self hood, our freedom.

But we have whatever privileges are male -- white male counterparts, and have the good sense to bestow upon us. And then whatever else it is we have managed to take for ourselves, often being led by as many have said earlier tonight.

The leadership of our sisters of color, who have fought and fought and continue to fight, for their righteous place on God's green earth.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Yeah.

Yeah. So white women have the privilege. They're now apparently, the -- the ruling class, I think. I think that's what she was saying.

And they wanted to make it very clear, when they started this Zoom call. One of the influencers, really wanted to make sure that nobody makes any mistakes on this phone call. Cut four.

VOICE: I'm going to share some do's and don'ts for getting involved in politics online. Don't make it about yourself. As white women, we need to use our privilege, to make positive changes. If you find yourself talking over or speaking for BIPOC individuals. Or God forbid, correcting them, just take a beat. And instead, we can put our listening ears on. So do learn from and amplify the voices of those who have been historically marginalized and use the privilege you have in order to push for a systemic change. As white people, we have a lot to learn, and unlearn. So do check your blind spots.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Okay. All right.

Well, let's -- let's bring on Bridget Phetasy. And please, please, check your blind spot, Bridget, if you will. Please.

BRIDGET: Please acknowledge that I'm the most powerful person on this call right now.

GLENN: Yeah, you are. You have all the white woman privilege. And you're -- you really are going to be the one that turns this whole thing around. You white women.

BRIDGET: Glenn, do you understand that it's up to me and my people, to save the world.

Literally, save the world.

It is up to us, if we don't get it together, the world will end.

GLENN: Yes. Yeah.

They said that. I know you know that. They said that yesterday. That it's up to white women. Oh, my gosh.

Do women -- I mean, are there a lot of women, that think this way? That are like, you know, fine with, I just have -- I have so much to learn. And so little to say, and so much to unlearn.

But I'm the most powerful person here. What are you talking about?

Oh, my gosh.

BRIDGET: Right. It's such a weird humble brag in a strange way. It's like at the same time you're saying, you are -- you know, I was saying this yesterday, to you, actually.

In talking to my friends about this. You have to have the worldview. You have to start with the premise, that it's -- it's actually white supremacy. You have to believe you are better than everyone else.

And that it is up to you, to lift up all of these people, these poor people, who can't help themselves, and speak to everybody like they're toddlers. We need to put our listening ears on. And talk to all --

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

BRIDGET: It's insanity. But I do think it's a way for people -- I mean, what is more important, than saving the world, while also somehow humbling yourself and recognizing your privilege?

It is -- it's still all ego. It's so gross!

It's so gross!

GLENN: Is this --

BRIDGET: I have strong feelings about this.

GLENN: Is this popular? Is this going to, Bridget?

BRIDGET: I mean, I don't know. It's weird. Just, I went off line for a couple of days, just to take a break. And I came online, and it was like 2016 with flavors of 2020 all over again. And this didn't -- it didn't work in 2016. You know, all of this -- like, I feel like, oh, we're just going to run a very unlikable politician, that people have openly said that they don't like. We're going to AstroTurf the entire media with, oh, look at how cool this person is, with celebrities and white dudes for Harris, and white women for Kamala. Weird, weird Zoom calls.

We are going to make it seem like it's all very popular. Except, it's not.

And then they will be out marching in their -- in their little pink hats. You know, the day after the election. You know, I don't think.

This feels like, it feels like -- I don't know. It feels manufactured to me. All of it.

GLENN: Okay. So let me ask you this.

You heard that everybody is now calling Trump and J.D. Vance weird.

And I think it's weird, that everybody started saying it, at the same time.

And I think, Bridget, that this is the new strategy where he was a danger to the republic. People are so sick and tired of hearing all of this.

And they just want somebody just to be normal with them. And so I think it's a way to have, you know, Donald Trump or whoever say, the woman is a socialist.

And then they go, you know, they're just weird. They're just weird.

I mean, I'm more like you. We're just laughing it off. That seems to me, to be a dangerous strategy, for the right.

BRIDGET: It's very dangerous. I'm -- I'm obsessed with this weird thing.

This morning, I was going down all these rabbit holes, for numerous reasons. One was clearly, the memo went out. And this is blatant AstroTurfing. Then there's this strange weaponization of the word weird by a party that has generally, that has been cool coated. It has been Lady Gaga was weird.

And her little monsters. And this was something that was always very left-wing dominated. We're going to make weird cool.

So they were the ones who said, no.

You can't use weird.

But then there was all this language of ableism that came out. And you couldn't say crazy. And you couldn't say insane.

And I was looking at all the list this morning. And it's weird, it's either been retroactively removed, which I wouldn't be surprised by. But it might have been the one word, like, hey. What can we call him that we won't get yelled at for?

And weird isn't on any of these lists, strangely. And as I'm talking to my editor at the spectator about -- we were texting. And he was saying, to win the general, you have to seem normal. And it's whoever is normal, and now they've made weird, this, you know, this step to creepy.

Like one step away from creepy. But I don't know if you should be doing it, if you have guys like Sam Brinton. And Rachel Levine on your side.

You can't. That seems like a bad idea for the left, to make weird one step away from creepy. Because they have way more weird people, that represent them.

Than I would say, the mainstream right-wing.

GLENN: If I may, however, you know, it's always the happy warrior, that America wants to be with.

And so if they are -- if they are seen as almost mocking themselves. You know, Karens for Kamala. And they're not taking themselves so seriously. Even though, on the call, they took themselves like God-like seriously.

And they're calling them weird.

And then you say, really? That's weird?

How about the dude that is stealing women's suitcases that you had watching over our nukes?

And then they -- their response is, see, I mean, you're just bigoted and hatred. Full of hatred. I mean, you're weird. But you're also bigoted.

And we just have -- I keep coming back to what she said, at the very end of that phone call. With Barack and Michelle.

Or big Mike.

She said, and we're going to have a lot of fun with this, aren't we?

And it was so fake. But I think that's what they're going for. Just laugh their way through this.

It will just be fun. We'll just have fun.

BRIDGET: Yeah. I think they realized a couple of things. Which is -- it's smart of them to course correct.

They seem to have leaned back into, okay. America isn't horrible, like we have we've been saying, and preaching, and academia. And we will reembrace the American flag.

They seem to have been saying, like, they realized, you know, the -- the RNC, for whatever Idiocracy, it might have seemed like, it was fun.

It was like people having fun. And I was saying this on Twitter. They're like, oh, look. What they're projecting.

They're projecting fun. This thing that Americans like to have. And generally have. And I think that they're realizing, they're not seen as the fun party.

They're seen as the scold now.

And the -- the authoritarians who are checking everyone's language.

And so I don't know. It's -- they're not going to believe -- that's not. You can't be. You can't say this is a weird paradox. You can't say this is the end of democracy.

And, oh, look how weird J.D. Vance is. That doesn't -- that doesn't carry this -- they're trying to walk this tightrope. And I don't think they'll be able to do it.

You can't be calling everybody bigoted. And racist.

And that this is a fascist takeover of America. And then be like, look at how weird he is. Yucka, yucka, yucka, it's not -- it's like weird. It's -- that's weird.

GLENN: Yes. It is -- it is awfully strange.

However, it might work, for a limited time. You know, that was the thing that I think the G.O.P. had going for, this year.

Was, it was full of joy. And it was fun.

And, you know, it was like a respite from the end of the world.

And it was still serious, had its serious moments when it needed to be. But it was fun. And I think that's what gave the wind in the sails of the Republicans in Donald Trump.

And I think that's what they're going for. I could be wrong. I want to hold for one minute, if you will, Bridget.

I want to ask you how would you -- if you're Donald Trump. How would you handle Kamala Harris. What would you do in a debate?

What would your strategy be? We'll go back to Bridget Phetasy in just a second. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Jeffrey wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor. He said, I just wanted to send a message of thanks. I am free of pain in my knee and lower back. Which means I can keep my auto detailing business going. And let me tell you, it was touch and go trial.

Now I'm back. Riding my motorcycle. At 71. Thank you, Relief Factor. Jeffrey, I'm glad you got your life back. And I love to hear that you're working hard and in business and having fun. I have experienced the same kind of stuff. And Relief Factor has helped me in -- I mean, saved my hands. Saved my ability to write and paint and everything else.

(music)
Bridget Phetasy is the spectator contributing editor and columnist. She's the host of walk-ins welcome. And the host of the weekly Dumpster fire, which I absolutely love.

I was on her show yesterday. And we were talking. And it was -- it was an odd -- it was a very odd interview. I was in a weird space with you, yesterday, Bridget.
(laughter)

BRIDGET: It was so fun. I still love talking to you.

GLENN: Did you?

Yeah. Was it -- at you release this already?

BRIDGET: No. No. No.

GLENN: It wasn't odd. Just spilling into people's houses.

BRIDGET: No. I would definitely let you know, if you were going live. No. It will be cleaned up.

And, yeah. I thought -- I thought it was great.

GLENN: Oh, wow. Yeah. I really enjoyed it.

I always enjoy you.

Anyway, Bridget, tell me about -- you know, Donald Trump has to switch, fighting strategies. Because she's a different fighter than -- than Joe Biden.

So he's got to come to a whole new world. What would your approach be, or recommendation on debating her and taking her on?

BRIDGET: Gosh, I'm not. Some brilliant adviser to the people.

But I --

GLENN: No. But you're a white woman. And you have all the power in the world.

BRIDGET: Yeah. I'm obviously the most knowledgeable person on this call. As we mentioned.

I just want to -- put your listening ears Donald Trump.
(laughter)

Maybe you should talk to her like she's a toddler.

I don't know.

I think -- you know, they get away with not having to focus a lot on stuff that she -- she is basically now saying, oh, I lied about everything I said if 2020.

You know, now it's like, all of -- she's totally pivoting. I think you call her out on that constantly. And try to nail her down on what she actually believes.

Because I don't -- does anyone really know? It seems like she was quite radical.

I believe she's -- you know, she's from California. So I know what they've done to that.

GLENN: She's from -- she's from Berkeley, and her mom and dad were both Berkeley professors. So she's not just from California.

She's not the average Californian. She is way off the deep end.

BRIDGET: She's from Commie-fornia.

GLENN: Yeah. So she was -- she was saying the other day that -- and the press was helping her. That Donald Trump was accusing her of -- of having these certain viewpoints. What was it, Stu? They said that she was being accused of? And it was her stated policy.

STU: Oh, being -- she was accused of wanting to ban fracking.

BRIDGET: Oh, yeah.

STU: She said multiple times on debate stages over and over again.

GLENN: Right. But that was Donald Trump accusing her. Go ahead.

BRIDGET: Yeah. I love when the right-wing pounces on things that have been spoken in direct quotes by that person.

GLENN: Yeah.

BRIDGET: There is --

GLENN: I mean, it's just --

BRIDGET: I also think the right-wing needs to stay away from, you know, the commentary, the commentators, the childless thing. There's a lot of women who wanted to have kids, who couldn't. I think there are a lot of independent women who have been pushed -- you know, there is literally men boxing women right now. Men boxing women.

And you're calling other people weird? People who support this?

Like, focus on the erosion of women's rights on -- on the left in policy.

It's not just -- I think you have to stay away from the like -- all that childless stuff.

That's not good. That's not helpful. It turns people off. It turns people away.

He's got to pivot. He has to kind of get some substance from that.

I actually think he's really smart, and even if a lot of the right-wing doesn't agree. And even moderate on abortion. He was kind of doing the right thing to win a general election.

And now he's going to have to really -- he's going to have to step it up. But I really think all you have to do is keep forcing her to reiterate what she believes.

GLENN: Well, she likes. She believes in Venn diagrams. And she likes yellow school buses. But who doesn't? Bridget Phetasy. Thank you so much.

Host of walk-ins welcome. You can find her podcast, every day.

Bridget Phetasy. Thank you so much, Bridget. I appreciate it.

BRIDGET: Thank you for having me. Bye, Stu.

GLENN: God bless. Goodbye.

WARNING: This British FAILURE could spread across the Western world

The United Kingdom is now arresting over 12,000 people a year for "speech crimes" and is debating doing away with trial by jury for many crimes. Glenn Beck warns that if this can be done in the birthplace of these principles (under the Magna Carta), it can happen to the entire West if we don't END this insanity now!

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So let me just start here. Because there is -- there is another story that is out in our newsletter today, that talks about how people of college age are freaking out, after Charlie Kirk's death. They don't want anything controversial on campus.

I mean, that's the reason why colleges and universities had protection of free speech, in the first place.

Was to be controversial. To be able to say the things that nobody wants you to say.

And it's really important.

But let me -- let me first remind people of what the Magna Carta is.

It's 1215? The Magna Carta is Latin for the great chart.

Had it not some magnanimous gift from the king.

The king. King John from England. He was -- he was losing a battle. France was just cleaning England's clock.

The baryons and all the lords and the ladies. Said, you know, this king sucks a lot. This king sucks a lot.

And we've got to stop him. Because he's destroying everything.

And he -- he had lost most of the land, to France. And then he started just imposing huge taxes on everybody. And -- and because nobody in the lower class had any -- this all happened with the lords and the ladies. And they were like, enough. Enough. Enough.

You're abusing your royal power.

Well, nobody had ever said that before. That just didn't happen. He had a divine right. He's the king. But in England, they said, no.

You still have to be moral. You have certain laws, and you can't just do these things.

And so what they did, is they got him to agree to the great charter, the Magna Carta. And it placed the king under the law. Before that, the king was the law. So now the king is under the law: It created the principle of due process. Never before did we have that.

You can't be imprisoned, punishment or stripped of property, except by the lawful judgment of your peers or the law of the land. So this creates jury trials. It creates habeas corpus. Protection from arbitrary arrests. All of these things. The government now has to justify itself in a court of law.

That's revolutionary, okay? It also limited taxation without consent. Which we interpreted later as no taxation without representation. Rule of law. Jury trials. Rights of the accused.

Limits on government. Protection of property. Accountability of leaders. All of that comes from the Magna Carta. Okay?

That gave birth, 500 years later, to us and our ideas. Okay?

Now, England, the birthplace of the Magna Carta is now thinking about getting rid of jury trials and arresting more than 12,000 people every year for what they call speech crimes. 12,000!
Now, I want you to think about that.

In Russia, in the same year this stat came out. The latest year that we have, 2023. In 2023, Russia arrested 4,000 people for speech crimes against the Russian military for Ukraine.

4,000 in Russia, 12,000 in England.

The number I saw. We don't have all the numbers. But the number I saw that were arrested for speech crimes in China was 120.

Okay?

Not for violence. Not for theft.

Not for treason.

12,000 in England for words.

Okay. Now, well, that's going on, now the Prime Minister is floating the idea of eliminating, if not most, many jury trials.

It will only be for murder, manslaughter, oh, and something else like that.

Okay?

So, in other words, if you're like, I believe you should be able to read the Bible in your own language, in your own home, Tisdale.

You don't get any hope. You don't get a jury trial. You get the court. You get the king trying you, not a jury of your peers.

This goes against the Magna Carta, the lawful judgment of your peers. Okay?

That's the safeguard that stands between you and an out-of-control state. This is the first and ancient firewall against tyranny. It is what makes England, England.

And if England of all places, tosses that aside, what does the word "free" mean anymore?

Okay? What does it mean? You can't speak, and then you have no jury -- trial of your peers. Wait. What? First of all, understand this: A nation that polices speech is not free!

A nation that dissolves juries is not just unfree, it's prepping for something worse!

Because the entire architecture of the western world, the liberty that we have, rests on a single radical belief.

The truth does not need a king. The truth shall set you free. Who? Is it not what. Who is the truth? Okay.

No king, but Christ. Because Christ is the truth. That's the Western world!

A person's conscience does not need a permit. Speech does not need a bureaucrat's approval before it leaves your lips! That's the West.

That's what built the world. What took it from darkness, to today.

Freedom is not granted we the state. Freedom preexists government.

Government's only legitimate job is to protect it!

Now, here's the dark little secret, that every single tyrant, and every politician knows today. If you control speech, you control thought. If you control thought, you control people.

If you control people, you don't ever have to worry about controlling the government because no one will ever challenge you again!

This is why it is so essential for any side to go, you can't talk to them.

Don't talk to them. Don't listen. Don't question.

You can't hear that. No. They can say whatever they want. But I have a right to refute it. That's why free speech has to be absolute. Not mostly free.

Not free unless it makes Billy over there cry and uncomfortable.

No. I'm sorry, Billy. You don't like it. Refute it.

Freedom that depends on somebody else's freedoms is not freedom!

Freedom that requires government approval is not freedom! Freedom that can be revoked because a bureaucrat doesn't like your tone is not freedom. Once speech becomes conditional, everything become conditional. Your rights, your property, your conscience, your place in society. Because you only live by permission! Never by principle!

We live by principles. Not people!

Who is actually free?

Who is actually free?

The England that once declared the king himself to be subject of law, or the England that now arrests a man because he's posted the wrong meme?

12,000 people!

Can't find one in 2023 that was arrested for that in America. Not one. The England that gave us John Locke, the philosopher of natural rights. Is that person free?

Or the England that now warns citizens that context doesn't matter, if their words cause someone, anyone, emotional harm.

Britain is about loss. But this is not just a British problem. This is the canary in the coal mine for the entire west.

Because these are the people that came up with it. When the mother country forgets its own legacy, jury trials and freedom of speech. When the random that once stared down monarchs now cowers before hashtags and activists and speech tribunals, than somewhere deep inside the Western soul, a light is flickering.

We must remember here, before that same darkness reaches our shores. Because it's already coming on to our beaches. It's already there. There is no such thing as partial liberty. Freedom of speech is the First Amendment for a reason!

It is the guardrail for every other right!

If you lose the First Amendment, you've lost freedom. And if you lose the Second Amendment, you've lost the ability to defend that first freedom.
It's number one for a reason!

You must be allowed to speak, to gather.

To have a free press!

To question your government. You must have those abilities. You must be able to say, especially about government, the worst things about your government! And question them.

And demand answers. To petition them.

That's all in the First Amendment.

It is the pressure valve that prevents so it's from blowing itself up.

The more we contain speech. The more we say, don't talk about. Don't talk about. Can't say that. Can't say that.

The more the pressure builds up. The more likely we blow ourselves up.

It's the mechanism where the powerless can speak to the powerful.

It's the shield that protects dissenters. Unpopular thinkers, prophets, reformers. And, yes, even the offensive.

Look, there are, quote, unquote, historians now who are getting all kinds of bullcrap about Hitler and everything else.

None of that is true. I don't want to silence them. They have a right to say it.

I have a right to say you're wrong! And show you the evidence of what makes them wrong.

That's the way it works. England is about to forget all of this!

They are truly the birthplace of these kinds of ideas, and those ideas led to our idea of real freedom!

No king!

If they forget this, we cannot -- we believe so -- because there won't be anywhere else in the world to go.

The lesson of history, the lesson that history whispers quietly at first. Then louder. And then finally. And we're about at this point, with a scream!

Is that when a state describes which words are allowed, it will eventually decide which thoughts are allowed. Which beliefs are allowed.

Which citizens are allowed.

In the end, in the end, the prisons don't need bars.

The cell will be in your own mind!

Do you understand that, America?
Do your kids understand that?

We don't even know what it means to be free. I thought this weekend, a lot about as opposed to truth shall set you free.

Thought about a lot. In fact, maybe I'll talk to you about it in a minute or so.

Because I don't think people understand what it means to be free.

We think everybody in the world is free. They're not!

And you're about to really find that out!

You want to be tree, or do you want to be safe? Because you cannot have both.

When safety is defined by those who fear your liberty. It's over!

We used to be people who would explore. We were people that crossed the oceans when everyone said we couldn't. We -- we went to space when everyone said, it's impossible. We crossed mountains that no one had ever crossed. We forged -- we forged a nation of really different people. And lived side by side for so long, yes. With bloodshed from time to time. But generally, in ways that nobody had ever done before. Freedom. Freedom is grand. But it's really dangerous. It's messy. Freedom offends you, a lot. Get over it.

Real freedom, real freedom is the only thing that has ever allowed the human spirit to rise above a king. Above a tyrant. Above the mob. Above the bureaucrats. Real freedom that belongs to you. Given to you by God. And that's what they're about to lose in England. The Magna Carta. The simple idea. No man. Not even a king. No man is above the law. Do we have that here?

Do you think no man is above the law? Or do you think there is a class up in the political range, somewhere, that if you're on the right side, don't worry about jail. That's what the Magna Carta tried to stop. That's what we have forgotten even, and they're about to get rid of it entirely.

The modern west is drifting into far more -- far more sinister creed. No man is above offense.

And that is how civilizations fall.

Puttin' the Christ Back in Christmas (Lyric Video)

This song was produced by Glenn Beck using his AI tools.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Well, the season's here, and the lights are bright, but they tell me, I can't say Merry Christmas tonight.

They want RamaHanuKwanzMas all in one breath.

Buddy, that phrase is gonna bore me to death.

So, grab some Coco. Let's reclaim this place.

It's the birthday of the baby.

Yeah, remember who that is.

Chorus:

So, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

No microaggression here.

My friend, if words can break you, I'll bless your heart, because that's a battle we can't defend.

Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

Let common sense unfold. Out with the new, in with the old.

Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.

Verse 2:

And hey baby, it's cold outside, relax.

It's flirting, not a federal crime.

We used to laugh and dance in snow.

Now they fact-check mistletoe.

They say intent don't matter.

Well, sure it does, ask Santa.

He's judging hearts, not Twitter buzz.

Chorus:

So I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

You can keep your outrage warm.

If every jingle is problematic, buddy, that's the real snowstorm.

Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

Not buying what they sold.

Out with the new, in with the old.

Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.

Bridge:

They say that greeting is oppressive.

Well, bless my soul.

Who knew if Merry Christmas makes you tremble, the problem ain't the phrase, it's you.

I'll question with boldness. I'll reason with grace, but don't rewrite my holiday to make it a safe space.

So, here's to the manger.

The star in the sky.

The angels who sang up that holy night.

Here's to the story that still brings hope

Even when cultures lost the remote.

Raise your voice, let the bells all ring.

This season was always about one king.

Chorus:

Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

Let the real good news unfold.

The world may chase the wrapping paper, but the manger holds the gold.

So, I put the Christ back in Christmas from the young to the gray and old.

Out with the new, in with the old.

Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.

The math behind Europe's cultural shift

Europe’s future isn’t being shaped by politics or ideology... it’s being shaped by math. Glenn Beck and UK insider Peter McIlvenna break down the explosive demographic shift transforming Britain and Europe, where Muslim population growth has surged 111% in 15 years while native birthrates continue to collapse. The result is a predictable, unstoppable replacement of cultural and political power, created not by conquest but by birthrates and the West’s loss of confidence in its own heritage. And the same demographic pattern is now emerging in the United States.

Sharia Courts & Demographic Takeover - America's Growing Problem with Political Islam

Political Islam is expanding into the West through demographic pressure, parallel legal systems, exclusive community structures, and a belief that Western nations are too naïve to stop it — and Glenn Beck breaks down the evidence. From Marco Rubio’s warning that Islamic political movements openly seek dominance over the United States, to a Texas developer boasting about “manipulating kafirs,” to archived footage of imams defending Sharia punishments on American soil, the signs are no longer subtle. Many Muslims reject political Islam and flee from these systems — but by ignoring what is happening in our own backyard, America risks repeating Europe’s collapse. The question isn’t whether Political Islam exists; it’s whether we’re willing to confront what it demands.

GLENN: Let me start first. Interview yesterday with Sean Hannity. Here's Rubio, talking about the dangers of radicalized Islam.

VOICE: Ultimately, armed radical Islamic movements in the world, identify the West at large, but the United States in particular, as the greatest evil on earth. And every chance they have -- the notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable with simple controls and progress in Iraq and Syria is not born out by history.

Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world and be happy with their own little caliphate. They want to expand. It's revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people. And radical Islam has designs openly on the West, on the United States, on Europe. We've seen that for the rest there as well, and they are prepared to conduct acts of terrorism. In the case of Iran, nation state actions, assassinations, murders, you name it.

Whatever it takes for them to gain their influence, and ultimately, their domination in different cultures and societies.

That's a clear and eminent threat to the world and to the broader west, especially to the United States who they identify as the chief source of evil on the planet. Okay?

The reason why they hate the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the leadership of the UAE and Bahrain, is because they've allowed the United States to partner with them. That's why they hate them. They consider them infidels for it. They hate Israel.

But they also hate America. And they hate anyone in the world, that we have influence, they seek to attack, including here in the homeland.

If you look at the domestic terrorists, the attacks that have happened here domestically, the overwhelming majority of them have been inspired by radical Islamic viewpoints. That includes the shooting in the Pulse Night Club in Orlando, Florida. That includes the Saudi pilot in Pensacola, my home state. Two attacks.

GLENN: Okay.

So I -- I would like to propose we stop calling it radical Islam. Because it's not radical Islam. It's political Islam. There is religious Islam, and I know a lot of religious Muslims that are good people. Okay? I don't put them in the same category because I don't want Sharia law.

That's political Islam. It's not radical. It's what happens all over the world.

It's not radical, it's political.

You remember, if you're my age. When the wall came down. And we finally got to converse with Russians.

And we always thought -- me growing up. I always thought the Russians.

It's Vladimir. Vladimir. Look, he's spying.

Natasha. He's spying.

Okay. That's what we thought when we were kids.

That's not who the Russians were. The Russians were good people. They were decent people.

They wanted the same kind of things we wanted. We don't agree on everything.

They want to be left alone. Raise their kids. Have a chance at some success and retirement.

Just leave me alone.

Most of us are like that. What happens is, our politicians get in the way. The politicians. The political systems are the ones that are the problem. We don't call it radicalized communism.
It's communism. Okay? It's a political philosophy.
This is a political philosophy.

Political Islam -- it's not radical.

It's just a political philosophy, and that political philosophy, just like communism, wants to dominate the world. Unlike communism, political Islam is so incredibly arrogant. It's inevitable to them. Why? Birthrates.

That's why! Birthrates. And they think we're stupid. And, you know what, so do I! I think we're stupid too. Come on, man. Right? Are we not stupid? We look over at Europe. Are the grand Europeans, that colonized the whole world and are abusing everyone, because they're so sophisticated and so powerful, and everything else. Really are they?

Because look at how dumb they are being right now with their own countries in Europe. They're committing suicide. And so are we.

Now, there's this development that is happening in Texas. Let me -- let me give you an interview, a piece of an interview done by a Muslim developer, of Muslim communities, and -- and how -- and how it actually works.

Listen to these 35 seconds of this interview.

VOICE: The way -- like, you can't make it exclusive, like non-Muslims are not allowed. What we're doing, there's something called a secession fee. I don't know what it's called in Dubai. Like your maintenance fee -- the service fee, to cut the grass, to remove the snow, and whatnot. So that service fee will put that 75 percent of the service fee you're paying, close to (another language).

VOICE: Automatically, if you are a practicing Christian, I would advise you, why help the Muslims? You know. They do their own thing.

Right? So this is the way we're going to put the costs, and our attorney already put it in there.

GLENN: This is the way they manipulate the kafirs. The kafirs are you. The non-Muslim people. The infidels.

And they -- they are manipulating. Because, ha, ha, ha. And why would you do that? That's how they make it an exclusive Muslim community. Okay. And what do you get in those Muslim communities? I want to take you back to 2015.
I had been in Irving, Texas. My studios are in Irving, Texas. And I had been there for maybe three years. And it is the most diverse ZIP code in all of America. Which is a great thing. Except, it's also becoming very, very Islamic.

And that is totally fine, as long as we're not talking political Islam.

Unfortunately, we are. And the religion teaches that you can lie, to an infidel. You can lie if it helps Islam.

Okay.

So I had a couple of imams from the Dallas area, come in, from -- from, you know, where all of this is happening. And I just -- I sat them down. And we just had a great conversation.

I want you to listen to this, what finally came out of the mouth of one of the imams. Listen to this.

VOICE: I'm here. I'm sorry to say, back to the first point. I'm here to discuss an issue with the Islamic Tribunal.

So please, don't -- allow us to have a situation. Maybe, we are ready for any discussion.

VOICE: No. I know that.

VOICE: We are ready for any point to lead the discussion. But the main point here, we are -- the reason we are here to discuss this issue. What kind of cases, Islam tribunal have.

And we start with the Sharia.

And why the people are afraid from Sharia.

I'm sorry to say, at one point related to this.

It's not just in Sharia law. Not just in Islamic law. It's everywhere.

Who said that just in Islamic law?

That's even Sharia, in Jewish Sharia, in Christian Sharia. In America here, we cut -- we -- we -- we cut it for some reason. So I'm asking you an easy question.

If anyone kill another, he should have got killed by a law, by Islamic law, by -- by -- by governor. By -- he should have got killed.

What is wrong with that?

If a thief, jump to go back house. Scare your wife. Scare your children. Scare your neighbor.

And they did that with our stores, this is the law. The law to cut his head.

Because if he feels my hands were cut because of that. He will think about this 100 times. He will never do it.

And if you do that one time, they will never do it again.

Look at how many millions of dollars Americans here or other states or other -- outside has been for the -- to keep, the criminal in -- in jail. A lot of millions of -- we can see that just -- that's it. Because he did something good in the whole community. And they scare the whole community.

Why not. Back please to the point. Islamic tribunal.

Yes. We never deal with anything of that. We don't have authority for that. We don't have power for that.

GLENN: But you're okay. You seem to be okay with that. If you had the power for that happen.

No. You don't --

JASON: Absolutely not. Absolutely not. We -- as imam said, we have system. We are very organized people.

GLENN: Right.

VOICE: Sorry, for this example. Somebody can -- might add. I should have killed him.

GLENN: Right.

VOICE: I had to take this case to the judge, and the judge have to -- to the governor. There's a system, a procedure, that I have to follow.

So it's not like this -- this guy gets killed. No, no. We have -- I -- I give you just an easy example for leader. This is after prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him. He sent one to Yemen. And he told him, before he leaves, he ask him, almost as a habit. What did you do if the people bring a thief for you?

He said, I will cut his hand. Okay. He said, you do that. Okay. He said, after -- after -- he said, okay. If one person came with me, without work, and I blew it. And I blew it. I will cut your head. Because he has no job. So he -- if you run from the sword or grab something from here, to eat. Nothing happened to you. So but if you have your job and enough income, and you took -- a bunch of children and you have house and you have car. And you -- or a thief from here or there. So this is the law. Not to please, the point with Sharia. I ask people. We are not here to do that at all.

It is not our authority. It's not our power. It's not our job. We have --

GLENN: You've got to stop. You've got to stop. Okay. This is amazing to me. Because you hear how passionate he is, about how logical that is. Okay? I mean, you just have to do it, it just makes sense to everybody, we just cut your hands off.

And the Prophet Muhammad, peace upon him, and he he's preached this forever. I mean, it just works. It just works.

Of course, we wouldn't want to do that. But it just works. I mean, let me tell you about it again. Really?

Really? You don't want that to happen. Because you're in the United States, but you're cool with it everywhere else. Everywhere else.

But here it's different!

But my religion, which requires me to say, peace upon him, after I mention the prophet Muhammad, my religion, which is extraordinarily well-defined.

It has these raise. In political Islam.

That must be done. Because the Koran requires it, in political Islam.

But we're not going -- yeah. We've got our own little laws going on now.

We have our courts.

Who we're never going to go that far. Wait. Wait. You believe in political Islam? Of course I do. But you're not going to do it?

Of course not. But the Koran commands you to do it?

Of course it does.

You follow every dictate in the Koran? Of course I do.

But not that one? Come on. Come on. Does anybody really believe that?

Now, that does not mean Muslims believe that. Many do. Many do not. The ones who do not are the ones who have lived under it, and have escaped here. And want a different kind of Islam.

And by just turning a blind eye to this, because they know how it happens. They saw it in their company. They don't want it happening here.

You know, we just take care of things like marriages. Oh, so when a guy says, I divorce you. I divorce you. I divorce you. You're divorced, and she loses everything. Oh, you mean the kind, if she wants to testify against her husband on adultery, she has to have two witnesses, plus her, because her voice and one other person as a witness does not equal him, because she's not equal to a man. Oh. Okay. All right.

But you have that one. And that's okay. No. It's not okay. It's not okay.

It shouldn't be okay in any western country, period. Should not be okay.

Unfortunately, we're all turning a blind eye to it.
