The NYC bombing attempt is EXACTLY what Glenn Beck warned about 15 years ago
Fifteen years ago, when Glenn Beck was still working at Fox News, he issued a dire warning: “Radicals, Islamists, communists, and socialists will work together against Israel, against capitalism ... to overturn stability.”
Are we seeing that prophecy come to fruition today?
On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn addresses the recent New York City bombing attempt and connects it to his former prediction.
Last weekend, two men with possible ISIS ties were charged with terrorism-related offenses after allegedly attempting to detonate two improvised explosive devices at a protest outside Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York City’s Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani. The incident occurred amid clashes between a group protesting the Islamification of New York City and a group of counter-protesters.
“But that’s not the troubling part of the story,” Glenn says. “The most troubling part is what happened afterward. The new mayor of New York condemned the protest itself as hateful and racist, but he avoided acknowledging the ideological context behind the attack on the other side.”
“At the same time, there are reports circulating that the mayor's own wife had previously liked social media posts celebrating the October 7 Hamas attack against Israel,” he adds.
“Why does any of this matter?” Glenn asks.
Because “what leaders excuse or refuse to confront often becomes what a society learns to tolerate.”
“There is this growing ideological alliance between two movements that have historically had two very different worldviews: radical Marxism and radical Islamism,” Glenn says.
History, he argues, proves time and again that “when movements share the same enemy,” which in this case is “Western civilization” and everything it values, “a temporary alliance” will form between those movements, regardless of how conflicting their core ideologies.
The key word there is “temporary,” he says, as the union only holds so long as the enemy breathes.
Glenn gives the example of the Iranian Revolution of 1979 when Shia religious scholars banded together with “Marxists and communists and secular revolutionaries” — marching “arm-in-arm, hand-in-hand” to “destabilize Iran” and ultimately overthrow the shah.
But “once the Islamists consolidated power under the Ayatollah Khomeini, they turned on their former Marxist allies. The communists were imprisoned; the revolutionaries were purged. They were executed, and they were tortured,” Glenn recounts.
What we’re seeing right now in New York City, Dearborn, Minneapolis, and even parts of Texas (not to mention Great Britain and France) as Muslim radicals and far-left groups coalesce is more “red-green alliances” that will likely end “in one side eating the other,” he warns.
“Ideology matters because history shows that civilizations don’t collapse from a single attack. They collapse when they lose the ability to recognize the attack for what it is. Iran learned that lesson in 1979. Europe is learning it right now. And America is seeing the early warning signs.”
“The solution ... is not hatred. ... The solution is also not naive or stupid compassion,” Glenn says.
The answer, he says, is to “welcome those who come here to be Americans the right way, and remove those who came here the wrong way, and those especially who have come here to change or harm America.”
This equates to “deporting the individuals who openly support terrorism,” “refusing to tolerate violent ideological movements,” and “having the courage to discuss the problem honestly even when it's uncomfortable.”
“The most dangerous moment any civilization ever faces is not when the extremists appear, because the extremists have always been here. ... The most dangerous moment is when leaders and citizens convince themselves that speaking about the threat is worse than the threat itself,” Glenn says.
“It’s not too late to pull back on the reins, but it is growing late.”

America's ‘sex recession’: Dr. Debra Soh explains why intimacy has PLUMMETED
Neuroscientist Dr. Debra Soh’s new book, “Sextinction,” addresses an alarming trend she’s noticed: Why are so many young adults not dating, not getting married, and not having children?
And Soh isn’t the only one looking for answers.
“We’re not having children. ... And part of that is because we’re not having sex, and people aren’t even dating anymore. What the hell is happening to us?” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck asks Soh on “The Glenn Beck Program.”
“We definitely are experiencing a sex recession. So there’s been studies coming out since 2016 basically showing that people are having less sex. This is happening across the globe. In America in particular, this is happening among married people, single people, it doesn't matter,” Soh explains.
“It’s happening in Western countries, Eastern countries, all age cohorts, but it’s especially pronounced among younger generations. So among Millennials and Gen Z. And what we find consistently is that roughly one in three men and one in five women have not had sex in the past year,” she continues.
One reason Soh points to is the convenience of “sexual outlets” like pornography, AI companions, or even sex dolls.
“I also think there are factors like endocrine disruptors and environmental toxins that are affecting us and men in particular at a hormonal level, lowering their testosterone levels. So that is also affecting their drive and their desire to pursue women,” Soh explains.
“And then we also have social and cultural factors like ‘me too’ that have made it very difficult for men to want to approach women because they’re afraid of potentially having their lives ruined. And then we have also initiatives like DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion, that are actively penalizing men for no reason other than the fact that they are men,” she continues.
“And this is especially the case for white and Asian men and men who are straight. So all these factors combined, I think have created this situation in which there’s a smaller pool of very successful men in society who have tons of sex, plenty of partners, no problems there,” she says.
“But for the vast majority of men, especially younger men, they’re really struggling,” she adds.

What’s the REAL reason behind Kristi Noem’s reassignment? Glenn Beck has a surprising theory
Last week, President Trump announced that Kristi Noem would be replaced as Secretary of Homeland Security by Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) and reassigned to the newly created position of Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas.
“Let me translate what this usually means in Washington and may mean this time,” Glenn Beck says.
“When a president moves somebody into a job that hasn’t been fully defined yet, it usually means one of two things: either A, yeah, bye-bye, you’re being pushed aside, or B, you’re being moved in to run something that is bigger but isn’t public yet.”
Which category does Noem fall into?
Glenn speculates that it’s the latter.
“If you look at the timing, this doesn’t feel like a demotion,” he says.
Despite the “mixed signals” coming from Trump, who at times does appear “pissed at her,” Glenn believes that Noem’s reassignment has more to do with the “reorganization of the battlefield.”
“It’s the shield of the Americas. I know that doesn’t mean anything, but follow me on this. Right now, the United States is looking at a hemisphere and a hemisphere problem that most Americans still don’t fully understand or see,” he says.
“When Donald Trump was running for re-election, we were standing backstage someplace, and he was getting ready to go on. He said, ‘You want to look like a prophet? You know what you need to talk about? You just keep talking about Panama,”’ he recounts, noting that Trump’s words were deeply confusing to him at the time.
However, shortly after the election, the president sure enough divulged intentions to take back the Panama Canal.
“He understood what was happening with Panama and China. China had taken the entire Panama Canal and was controlling it,” Glenn says.
The Panama plans were soon followed by talk of Greenland, then Venezuela, Cuba, cartels in Mexico and Central America, Russia in Caracas, and Iranian proxies in the region.
“The southern hemisphere has become the new front line of great power competition. [President Trump] is declaring the western hemisphere is ours, OK? And DHS, the Department of Homeland Security, was not designed for that,” Glenn says.
What Trump is up against, he explains, is “hemisphere-level instability.”
“We have the migration waves. We have state collapse. We have cartels that are moving people and drugs and weapons and intelligence. We have foreign adversaries embedding themselves inside of all of that chaos,” Glenn explains. “So if you’re the president ... you’re saying, ‘We have got to shore up America to make sure we last another 150, 250 years.’”
Perhaps Noem’s reassignment has more to do with this: “[making] sure that our darkest, Russia, China, Iran, are not running operations in this hemisphere.”
“Shield of the Americas. Think about the name. It’s not border control; it’s not immigration enforcement. It’s a shield of the Americas, the entire western hemisphere,” Glenn says. “That doesn’t sound like DHS. That sounds more like strategic security architecture for the western hemisphere, doesn’t it?”

‘What possible justification’: Virginia governor refuses to hand over accused murderer to ICE
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger (D) has refused to hand over an illegal immigrant with over 30 prior arrests to ICE.
The suspect, Abdul Jalloh, is an illegal alien from Sierra Leone with at least 30 arrests on violent charges.
“She is now saying that she will not turn over a guy who [allegedly] murdered a woman at a bus stop, stabbing her to death. Okay? Will not turn him over to ICE because they need a warrant. Can I ask you — and this is an honest question — why, why, for the love of Pete, are the Democrats so intent on protecting murderers, rapists?” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck comments.
“The police knew who this guy was because they had arrested him so many times. He had been arrested like 40 times. One of them was for rape, and they let him out on the streets — returned him to the streets — because they want to protect him and his rights,” Glenn says.
Glenn admits that he doesn’t “understand.”
“Immigration policy can be really, really complicated. Border enforcement: complicated, okay? Work visas, asylum laws, all of that stuff. But in this case, it is not complicated at all. A woman standing at a bus stop, a normal American moment, waiting for the day to begin, waiting for a bus, and she’s stabbed to death,” he says.
“And this isn’t somebody who just slipped through the cracks one time. A guy who had been arrested again and again and again. … Assault, rape, and now [suspected] murder, stabbing,” he continues.
“Can I ask you: If it is not the government’s job to protect, what is their job?” Glenn asks. “Because they weren’t protecting you or this woman or anybody in Virginia. They weren’t protecting any American by putting him back on the street.”
“Now, here’s the question that every single American should be asking, and I mean this honestly: What possible justification exists for keeping somebody like this in our communities?” he asks. “Can you give me one single explanation that is logical, that is not evil, quite honestly?”

‘I was being poisoned’ — Glenn Beck shares WILD personal story about the importance of choosing media wisely
Back in 2011, Glenn Beck started getting “very, very sick.” His symptoms were strange and severe — loss of feeling in his hands, tremors, macular degeneration in one eye and macular dystrophy in the other, chronic pain, brain fog, and a psychological phenomenon researchers called “time collapse,” where the distinction between past, present, and future blurs.
For two entire years, he sought help from multiple doctors and specialists, all of whom concluded that he was “being poisoned.”
Except all his tests kept coming back clean.
“I wasn't ingesting chemicals,” he says, noting that “no foreign agents” were ever found in any of his medical tests.
More time passed and Glenn continued getting sicker until one day, the root of his problem suddenly stared back at him: He was poisoning himself.
“I was being poisoned, but I was poisoning myself ... I was consuming poison with the relentless diet of ‘the republic is dying,’ the news, the history, the media, everything that was going on for nearly a decade, ” he says.
“From 2001 to 2010, I barely slept. ... I worked from 5:00 a.m. until well past midnight every day. Each day I was on stage, off stage, back on stage multiple times. By 2009, I wasn't just battling what I believed were forces trying to reverse American freedom and evil; I was fighting for my life — in business, in media, in smears; physically, I was under threat all the time,” he recounts.
Eventually, Glenn got a proper diagnosis: “Adrenal fatigue.”
“I had been in fight or flight mode for over a decade — all day, every day — and your body is not built to live under constant siege like that. Mine broke, and I still pay the price for it,” he recounts.
Glenn shares this story today because he’s concerned that people are making the same mistake he made with the media content they constantly consume.
“We are poisoning ourselves,” he warns, “and I'm not speaking theoretically; I'm speaking from experience.”
“When you constantly call on your body to produce more cortisol, you're not just stressed, you're rewiring the brain; you're reshaping your body; you're altering the outlook on life.”
While cortisol is the body’s life-saving “alarm system,” it was “designed for dinosaurs and lions, not headlines and social media,” he says.
Sadly, because of the digital age’s insatiable appetite for virtual content, most of us are hooked up to a feeding tube that pumps us full of “outrage, catastrophe framing, existential politics ... Nazis, pedophiles,” and every other form of soul-sucking content out there, Glenn warns.
When this happens, “cortisol stops being a tool and starts to become a poison” that throws our nervous system into a state of chaos, makes our bodies susceptible to chronic diseases, and causes emotional dysregulation, memory loss, decreased impulse control, and overactive fear triggers in the brain.
What can we do to avoid this pitfall?

Trump ‘duped by Israel’? Glenn Beck asks Lara Trump about Iran strikes and betrayal claims — and she doesn’t hold back
In the wake of the United States and Israel’s joint military operation against Iran, some people — even “some of the president’s former supporters in right-wing media,” says Glenn Beck — are spreading the narrative that Trump has been “duped by Israel” into starting a war with Iran.
Is the man globally known for being impervious to pressure really acting under Israel’s influence?
To get the truth about the president’s motivation, Glenn speaks with Lara Trump, President Trump’s daughter-in-law.
Lara’s immediate response to the suggestion that “Israel has dragged Donald Trump into this war” is laughter.
“The only person who makes decisions for Donald Trump is Donald Trump,” she says.
“He takes account of what people around him have to say. He likes to get a lot of opinions, a lot of thoughts, which any smart person and any good leader would actually do. But then he's the person who makes that decision,” the former RNC chair adds.
To those who are accusing the president of abandoning the “America First” agenda, she argues that crippling the Iranian regime is in America's — and the world’s — best interest.
“Let's be really clear when it comes to Iran. This is a regime that has been for nearly 50 years chanting ‘death to America’ and ‘death to Israel.’ ... They were on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon. That would have been detrimental not only to the United States, but to the entire world,” Lara tells Glenn.
“This president has always said he wants to put America first. You don't have an America if Iran has a nuclear weapon because we know they would have deployed it on us. They want to wipe us off the map,” she continues.
She says that “no one has made any decision [about Iran] other than this president” and that his decisive action was solely “based on the intelligence ... his assessment of things ... [and] on the fact that he wants to put America first and protect American citizens above all else.”
“I have personally been told over and over again for 25 years ... [Iran] could be weeks away [from developing a nuclear weapon],” says Glenn. “What was it this time that made him go, ‘We have to take care of it right now’?”
Lara’s answer is profound: “I obviously don't get the detailed intelligence briefings like he does, but I'll just say this ... I think he definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, believes that his life was spared in Butler, Pennsylvania, so that he could go on to lead this country, and he was made for such a time as this.”
