EXPOSED: Tim Walz's shocking ties to radical Muslim cleric



In 2018, Tim Walz publicly praised a radical Muslim cleric named Asad Zaman — who Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck says has a “despicable” history.

“I would like to, first of all, say thank you to Imam. I am a teacher, so when I see a master teacher, I know it,” Walz says on video. “Over the time we’ve spent together, one of the things I’ve had the privilege of is seeing the things in life through the eye of a master teacher to try and get the understanding, listening today to the stories and what it means.”

While the Harris-Walz campaign had previously jumped in to deny the relationship, claiming the pair did not have a personal relationship and that Walz “condemns” Hamas terrorism, Glenn isn’t buying it.

“Why don’t they want him connected to Zaman?” Glenn asks. “Maybe it is because he has posted official Hamas press releases, or perhaps it’s because he’s linked to a pro-Hitler film called ‘The Greatest Story Never Told,’ so he loves the Nazis.”

“And then of course, there might be a little problem that after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, he posted on Facebook that he and his organization, quote, ‘stand in solidarity with the Palestinians against the Israeli attacks,’” Glenn continues.

Zaman is also the executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society, which was described in 2008 by federal prosecutors as “founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.”

And in 2014, the United Arab Emirates designated the Muslim American Society a terrorist group.

“Wait a minute, he’s such a fantastic teacher, and they’re a terrorist group? Wow,” Glenn says, feigning shock. “Now, Harris-Walz, the campaign, has come out through a spokesperson: ‘Walz has no relationship with Zaman.’”

“Maybe they’re not getting together for backyard barbecues or calling each other up like, ‘What are you gonna wear today? Is it a blue day?’ Maybe that’s not happening, but according to the Washington Examiner’s report, Walz has appeared at events with Zaman at least five times,” Glenn explains.

“But remember, no relationship. ‘How dare Glenn Beck say that,’” Glenn mocks, adding, “How could there be? I mean, Tim Walz, he’s a folksy, all-American Midwestern dad who happens to believe in communism.”

Demon encounter sends FBI agent FLEEING to church



Glenn Beck interviews former undercover FBI agent Scott Payne about the harrowing experience that sent him running to Jesus.

Retired undercover FBI agent Scott Payne spent much of his career infiltrating the most extreme, nefarious groups in the history of America. From the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, a notorious white supremacist gang with a deep history of illegal activities, to the KKK, Payne has seen things most of us couldn’t dream of.

However, there is one incident from his youth that he says was far more terrifying than being held at gunpoint or watching cultists sever a goat’s head as an undercover cop.

In his interview with Glenn Beck, Payne shared the story that sent him literally running to church.

While Payne “grew up in a Christian home,” where “both of [his] grandfathers were pastors,” he strayed from the faith and got involved in “witchcraft” following the unexpected divorce of his parents.

“It [started] kind of innocent and stupid, but I ended up just going into full-blown Satan worshiping — you know, wanting to sign a contract in blood” and “[watching] every horror movie from A to Z,” he says. “I was in a real dark place.”

One night, that darkness culminated in the manifestation of an actual demon.

Payne, who was in high school at the time, was at a party in his friend’s basement. He began talking in his “demon voices” and “acting out a scene” from a horror movie — a joke he coined to get a negative reaction out of others. While he may have been playing around, Satan’s forces were not.

There were “no psychedelics” involved that could have caused him to hallucinate the image that suddenly appeared before his eyes. In the midst of acting out a skit of a “satanic possession,” Payne saw a demon appear before him.

“What I saw was all red, like a watery image, and it was a demon looking at me smiling with this crooked finger and nails and looking at me and giving me the ‘come here’ [sign],” he recounts. “I screamed probably the highest I've ever screamed ... I was as white as a sheet; I was panting, pouring sweat.”

His friend’s immediate response was perhaps even more haunting. Having previously warned him about the darkness he was meddling in, he looked directly into Payne’s eyes and said, “I told you, didn’t I?” as if he’d seen the same demonic vision.

The traumatic experience was enough for Payne to march himself directly to church that very night.

“I walked to Edwards Road Baptist Church in Greenville, South Carolina, and I think I sat through every service,” he tells Glenn. “That was it for the demonic stuff for me.”

Payne’s terrifying encounter with a demon in his youth was a turning point, driving him to embrace an unshakeable faith in Christ. Ironically, it was only the first of many encounters with evil he would face — not as a wayward teen but as an FBI agent infiltrating heinous groups. Strengthened by his faith, Payne endured the darkness of these missions, carrying the burden of confronting humanity’s worst. To hear his gripping story, watch the full interview above.

Glenn Beck asked AI to investigate Biden’s shadow presidency — you won’t believe who it named



Jake Tapper's new book, “Original Sin,” and the ongoing investigations into the Biden autopen scandal continue to fuel the growing conviction that President Biden was just the puppet behind a cabal of operatives who ran the country. At this point, even the legacy media, which was complicit in the cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline, is admitting it.

So who then was in charge of the nation?

Glenn Beck did a little experiment and asked artificial intelligence to “analyze every single claim, speculation, insider report, congressional hearing” related to who was making the decisions in the Biden White House. He also asked it to “speculate on how a deep state president would be set as a cutout”: “What would it take to run the country, and how would you keep it from the American public?”

Its answer was shocking.

The AI platform “said there were two groups of people within the White House that would be needed” to pull off such a scandal — the decision-makers and the cover-up artists.

For the former group, it named Jeff Zients and Ron Klain — both Biden’s White House chief of staff at one point — as likely culprits. It also listed Annie Tomasini, former White House deputy chief of staff and director of Oval Office operations; Neera Tanden, White House domestic policy adviser; and Jake Sullivan, Biden’s U.S. national security adviser, as probable players.

For the suppression squad, AI pinpointed Mike Donilon, a senior Biden adviser, Anthony Bernal, a senior adviser to Jill Biden, Ashley Williams, special assistant to the president and deputy director of Oval Office operations, and Steve Ricchetti, counselor to the president.

Interestingly, when Glenn Beck recently had Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, on the show to discuss his intentions to expose the corruption that took place, he named Neera Tanden, Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, and Ashley Williams as the top people he wanted to talk to.

When Glenn spoke with Lindy Li, a former DNC finance member and Harris campaign surrogate, she expressed anger at the cover-up, naming Jeff Zients and Annie Tomasini as the two people she was most suspicious of.

In December 2024, the Wall Street journal released a damning piece suggesting that President Biden was so mentally compromised, he wasn’t even communicating with major Cabinet members. The piece named Mike Donalin, Steve Ricchetti, Ron Klain, Annie Tomasini, and Jake Sullivan as likely culprits in the cover-up. Then in January 2025, the New York Times published an article arguing that Biden’s inner circle hid his cognitive decline, highlighting Mike Donalin, Steve Ricchetti, Annie Tomasini, and Anthony Bernal.

And finally, just last month, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book, “Original Sin,” debuted. In the 200+ interviews the duo conducted, the names Mike Donalin, Steve Ricchetti, and Ron Klain came up the most often.

“Sometimes AI is a little bit spooky,” says Glenn, reacting to how the platform aligned perfectly with other reports. However, “We can't go off of AI; we can't go off of hearsay; we can't go off of anything. We need the DOJ, after the Congress has investigated, to then pick it up and investigate themselves with the FBI and then prosecute if there were crimes committed."

White House Official Addresses Criticism of Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill"

SHOCKING: American towns before and after globalism took our jobs



On a recent Wednesday Night Special, Glenn Beck took a good hard look at how elite-driven trade policies over the last 30 years have gutted America’s middle class.

In 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization. The move was presented as progress, but it ultimately caused nationwide devastation.

“The year China joined the WTO, the U.S. imported $102 billion in goods from China. In 10 years that number has more than tripled to $365 billion,” says Glenn.

Our trade deficit with China suffered tremendously as well.

“[It] tripled over the same period to $273 billion. Last year the deficit was $295 billion — by far our largest trade deficit with any nation,” Glenn adds.

“What is the fallout from this massively lopsided trade with China alone?”

Glenn, citing a 2016 study by an MIT economist, says, “During the first decade after China joined the WTO, the growth of imports from China cost us 2.4 million jobs — 985,000 of those just from a factory floor.”

The study concluded with the following point: International trade results in lower-priced goods and services on average and thus lowers the cost of living. However, low-skilled workers are nearly always worse off. The system creates “winners and losers.”

“This is what Trump is talking about. For far too long our leaders, especially on the left, have been way too comfortable with ignoring the losers in this equation,” says Glenn.

The displacement of American workers, he says, is best seen in “the Rust Belt” — a term created to capture the economic decline, factory closures, and population loss of a region in the United States, mainly in the Midwest and Northeast, that is known for manufacturing.

To illustrate this point, Glenn shows a picture of Galesburg, Illinois, home of the once-booming Maytag factory. Formerly known as “Appliance City,” the plant used to employ 5,000 people, but after “the last refrigerator rolled off the assembly line in 2004,” the site has been reduced to a pile of “rubble and weeds.”

Glenn also gives the example of Youngstown, Ohio — “once a proud hub of American steel, churning out beams that built our skyscrapers.” That is, until Chinese steel was brought in and the factory collapsed.

“Youngstown has lost 60% of its population since 1970,” says Glenn, noting that a significant portion of the exodus occurred “between 2010 and 2012” — about a decade after China joined the WTO.

Glenn’s third example is Gary, Indiana, a major steel manufacturing center and home to U.S. Steel's massive Gary Works plant.

“In the 1970s, 30,000 people worked at that mill alone. Today, it employs 3,700,” says Glenn, adding that the town’s population has decreased 62% over the last several decades and has “10,000 abandoned buildings.”

“Between the year 2000 and 2010, the U.S. lost over 5.5 million manufacturing jobs. That's the steepest drop-off in our history. … It is the draining of the American dream,” he laments.

Trump reveals Ukraine ceasefire challenges and who he blames most



Last week, Glenn Beck sat down for an exclusive interview with President Trump to review his first 100 days in office. It should come as no surprise that they discussed a wide range of topics, as the Trump administration has operated at a pace that is both shocking and awe-inspiring.

Among the list of subjects Glenn brought up — which included executive orders, congressional action, border security, judicial insurrection, and AI development, among others — was the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

President Trump provided valuable insight into the challenges of securing a ceasefire deal in Ukraine, what he believes sparked this war, and why he’s so set on ending it.

Trump told Glenn that had he won in 2020, the war between Russia and Ukraine “would have never happened.”

It was Biden’s energy policies that doubled prices and enabled Putin’s invasion, he explained.

However, falling energy prices, thanks to Trump’s green light on energy production, is now hindering Russia’s efforts. Even still, negotiations to end the war are far from complete.

“Is [Zelenskyy] the problem? Is Putin the problem? Or is Europe the problem?” Glenn asked.

Trump’s answer? It’s complicated, but the majority of the blame falls on Biden.

“This is Biden’s war,” he said, noting the “$350 billion” the former president funneled into Ukraine.

Even though Trump inherited this problem from Biden’s deeply incompetent and corrupt administration, he’s still going to “end it” — not just for the sake of stopping the bleeding of cash, but also because the war is killing “5,000 people a week.”

Unfortunately, Zelenskyy’s demands for security and aid aren’t making negotiations easy.

“He's asking for more, just more and more and more, and he doesn't have the cards,” Trump told Glenn, adding that Putin has actually been the easier of the two to work with.

“I don't believe that Vladimir Putin would be doing this for anybody else but me. ... I think he's willing to make a deal,” he added.

Trump’s First 100 Days: 3 key moments from Glenn Beck’s exclusive interview



Yesterday, Glenn Beck sat down for an exclusive interview with President Trump to review his first 100 days in office. Glenn is the first member of the media to conduct a 100-day retrospective interview, offering a unique window into the administration’s rapid progress.

It should come as no surprise that the duo broached a wide range of topics. From his unprecedented number of executive orders — 130 in just three months! — to the equally unprecedented number of injunctions he’s faced from a rogue judicial system, tariffs, the DOGE, and the border, a lot has happened in a short window.

But that’s what President Trump promised. He pledged to fix America quickly, and every day, he delivers on that promise more. The pace at which his administration is moving is indeed shocking and awe-inspiring.

This exclusive interview captures the energy and determination driving these historic first 100 days, revealing key insights into Trump’s vision and leadership.

Here are the top three moments from President Trump’s conversation with Glenn.

EXCLUSIVE: President Trump on 'Judicial Insurrection,' Tariffs, and 100 Days in Office | Ep 429 youtu.be

1. Congress and codification

When Glenn asked President Trump about his extensive executive orders, which have addressed immigration, government reform, the economy, national security, energy, and cultural issues, he said, “There were just so many things the country needed” after Biden’s destructive term.

Isn’t that the truth?

Yet there’s a growing angst about getting these executive orders codified by Congress. Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” aims to codify key policies, especially those related to border security, energy production, taxes, and deregulation, but its budget focus limits its scope, and GOP infighting between fiscal hawks and moderates has slowed the process.

However, President Trump told Glenn not to worry and expressed faith in Republicans, especially considering their seven-seat majority in the House, which gives them enough votes to pass the bill if they stay united.

“We’re going to codify, and we’re going to wait until after the bill has passed, and then we’re going to work on nothing but codifying,” he said.

2. Judicial insurrection

Glenn reminded us that Bill Clinton deported 12.3 million people; George W. Bush deported 10.3 million people and had six injunctions against him; Barack Obama deported 5.5 million people and had 12 injunctions against him.

But Trump, not even 100 days into his second term, faces more lawsuits than Clinton, Bush, and Obama combined.

“You’re 100 days in, and you have 190 cases against you,” said Glenn.

“It’s obstruction,” Trump agreed, condemning Democrats for trying to protect MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom they’ve painted as an innocent victim.

Regardless of the unprecedented judicial pushback that’s making deportations “so much more difficult than it should be,” Trump expressed confidence. “We’re getting it done, and we’re winning.”

3. Powering the AI revolution

“I think you’re going to be remembered as the AI president,” said Glenn.

“You are the first one to really talk about, really take it on.”

“AI is certainly very important, and we’re pressing it very hard. We have trillions of dollars being invested,” Trump said. However, AI takes “massive amounts of electricity,” more than “we have right now in our country.”

Even though it’s an enormous obstacle, Trump says he’s got a plan.

"We’re going to let them build their own electric plants,” he said, noting that “they can use nuclear [power] if they want.”

“We’re going to get it done very quickly,” he added.

“I call it a national emergency,” but “we’re going to be number one.”
