Glenn Beck recaps the MOST INSANE month in US political history



It’s been a long, treacherous month — especially if you love your country.

To kick it off, President Joe Biden shocked half of the nation at the presidential debate by confirming what the other half — conservatives — have been saying all along. That of course is that his apparent mental decline.

“It was a frightening moment for many Americans. Not because ‘Oh my gosh he’s going to lose to Donald Trump’ but because that guy is the guy who’s running the country,” Glenn Beck says.

Shortly after, former President Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“So we don’t know who’s in charge, and then a week later the guy running against him is gunned down on live television, and we really don’t know what happened,” Glenn continues, noting that we then were faced with the realization that the Secret Service director was a DEI hire.

“The head of security of the Security Service, we all figured out and found out, was hired by the first lady. Not the president. The first lady was the one who pushed for her DEI hire at the Secret Service. And she was protecting PepsiCo and now the most important leaders of the world,” Glenn says in disbelief.

When the now-former Secret Service director — who just resigned — gave her testimony on what happened on July 13, her lack of ability to answer questions had Americans everywhere asking a new question.

“Wait a minute, was this a setup?” Glenn asks, recalling the testimony. “What are they covering up? If they’re not covering something up, why wouldn’t they just be honest and open and transparent?”

And of course, there’s Biden’s resignation from the 2024 presidential race.

“I think he should have resigned, not just from the candidacy but from the presidency of the United States,” Glenn says. “He’s not okay to run a campaign, but he’s okay to run the country?”

Then Vice President Kamala Harris stepped in to replace him as the Democratic candidate for 2024.

“The party elites picked her, and then they had a coup and picked her again,” Glenn says.

“I just want you to recognize why you might be on edge. Why you might be so tired right now. A lot has happened to your country that you love.”

“Your country has taken a beating over just the last three weeks,” he adds.

John Bolton shocks with viral admission that he helped plan foreign coups — then Rand Paul chimes in



Former national security adviser John Bolton raised eyebrows Tuesday after disclosing that he has helped orchestrate coups d'état.

Wait, what?

Speaking with CNN anchor Jake Tapper, Bolton disputed rhetoric that says former President Donald Trump is guilty of orchestrating a coup on Jan. 6.

"It's also a mistake, as some people have said — including on the committee, the commentators — that somehow this was a carefully planned coup d'état aimed at the Constitution," Bolton said. "That's not the way Donald Trump does things. It's rambling from one half-vast idea to another. One plan that falls through and another comes up. That's what he was doing."

When Tapper pushed back and noted that "one doesn't have to be brilliant to attempt a coup," Bolton explained why he disagrees — and he cited firsthand experience, though without disclosing details.

"As somebody who has helped plan coups d'état — not here, but other places — it takes a lot of work. And that's not what [Trump] did. It was just stumbling around from one idea to another," Bolton said.

Video of Bolton's admission quickly went viral online, amassing millions of views.

Later in the interview, Tapper confronted Bolton about his admission.

"I'm not going to get into the specifics," Bolton said.

"I wrote about Venezuela in the book, and it turned out not to be successful," he added. "Not that we had all that much to do with it, but I saw what it took for an opposition to try and overturn an illegally elected president. And they failed."

"I feel like there's other stuff you're not telling me," Tapper shot back.

"I'm sure there is," Bolton responded before immediately changing topics.

Why is this significant?

Bolton's government service spanned four Republican presidential administrations and even included a stint as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Bolton, then, is no stranger to the government's unspoken policy of avoiding the word "coup."

In fact, Bolton previously said the 2019 Venezuela uprising, to which he referred in his interview with Tapper, was definitely not a coup.

"This is clearly not a coup," said Bolton, who at the time was then-President Donald Trump's national security adviser.

What did Paul say?

Sen. Rand Paul responded to Bolton's admission by saying, "Blocking John Bolton from becoming Sec of State was one of my proudest moments!"

Paul was referring to the Obama-to-Trump presidential transition, in which Bolton was under consideration for secretary of state. However, Paul repeatedly declared he would oppose Bolton's nomination to any position in the State Department.
