Colorado passed legal protections for illegal immigrants month before terror attack
The bill makes it harder for ICE to pick up criminal illegals in Colorado
The REAL reason Democrats praise criminals
The brutal murder of Israeli Embassy diplomats Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim by a Marxist Hamas-supporter is the latest example of the culmination of academia-spawned progressivism and the left’s tendency to condone violence if the ends justify the means, says Glenn Beck.
Too long have leftists, many of whom are in our government, directly and indirectly applauded criminality. Some of them have even engaged in it themselves. Two judges were recently arrested and charged with allegedly helping illegal immigrants evade the law. The party as a whole is currently fighting tooth and nail to prevent the deportations of illegal immigrants — even the ones with ghastly criminal records.
Earlier this month, three New Jersey representatives and Newark mayor Ras Baraka stormed a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. Baraka was arrested and charged with trespassing, and Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) was charged with two counts of assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement.
Back in December, leftists across the country praised Luigi Mangione as a hero for murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Several Democrat lawmakers used his death to advocate for universal health care, suggesting that Thompson’s murder was the result of understandable public outrage over systemic issues in the health care system.
Tesla dealerships and vehicles have gone up in flames. Pregnancy centers and pro-life groups across the country have been ruthlessly attacked. Left-wing riots continue to rage in every major city. Donald Trump was nearly assassinated twice.
Nobody can deny at this point that the left is the party of violence.
But “why would the Democrats be going this way? Why would they be standing up for murderers?” asks Glenn.
After Kamala Harris’ loss, you’d think the party would be trying to get back in the good graces of the American people. Condoning criminality certainly won’t help with that endeavor.
But what if regaining popularity is not the end goal?
“That may not be the plan,” says Glenn. “Revolution and direct action stuff — that's what they're trained to do; it's the highest calling of the left. This isn't about politics; this is about a Marxist worldview that has been baked into the minds of several generations of Americans through our university classrooms.”
“The classroom is where you train students to see everything through [the oppressor vs. the oppressed] lens,” says Glenn, pointing to Paulo Freire’s 1968 book “Pedagogy of the Oppressed,” which outlines his ideology that classrooms are “battlegrounds for social action” rather than academic learning centers.
“[Freire’s] critical pedagogy is still the dominant theory in teacher education programs today,” which is why universities are “churning out radicals,” he explains.
This oppressor vs. oppressed framework has become “the new morality,” and that’s what’s really fueling Democrats’ engagement in and tolerance for crime.
Glenn believes that widespread BLM-level riots are being plotted across the country right now.
“It’s coming,” he warns, pointing to Governors Safeguarding Democracy — an anti-Trump coalition of Democratic governors led by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Colorado Governor Jared Polis and guided by Norm Eisen, a former White House ethics official and a key figure in Trump’s first impeachment.
This group, Glenn explains, is actively working to oppose President Trump’s immigration policies through a coordinated strategy outlined in a document called "Firewall for Freedom,” which includes model executive orders for governors to block National Guard deployments they don’t approve and to withhold state resources (i.e., time, money, or facilities) from federal immigration enforcement efforts.
In an April speech, Pritzker called for “mass protests,” “mobilization,” and “disruption.”
“These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he said.
“This is what happens when the system turns out activists instead of thinkers — violence is excused as resistance,” and “governors weaponize their authority to defy the will of the American people,” says Glenn.
“This is a coordinated effort to destabilize America rooted in decades of Marxist indoctrination. That's what's happening in America. That's what's coming.”

This state just made ‘misgendering’ grounds for child removal
Just as commonsense, reality-based reforms gain momentum nationwide, Colorado lawmakers have raced in the opposite direction — pushing transgender legislation that defies reason, conscience, and the Constitution.
For Coloradans who still believe in parental rights and free speech, the state’s rapid slide into a legal and cultural dystopia feels less like policymaking and more like a hostile takeover.
This agenda is not about tolerance. Its advocates want dominion over our children, our families, our language, and our wallets.
Transgender activists dominate both chambers of the Colorado General Assembly and occupy the governor’s mansion. Whatever agenda they set — no matter how extreme — they have the votes to pass. And this session, they delivered. Some proposals were so radical that even California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) refused to sign similar measures.
Too extreme for California
Lawmakers passed two sweeping bills. HB1312 effectively criminalizes dissent, while HB1309 compels taxpayers and private insurers to fund transgender medical procedures.
And if that weren’t enough, the state now boasts a “trans continental pipeline” — designed to attract minors and adults from other states seeking gender transitions.
HB1312 drew national attention for its blatant assault on speech and parental rights. The bill bans “deadnaming” and “misgendering,” even in private settings. Parents who decline to affirm their child’s gender identity could face accusations of abuse and risk losing custody. Schools and businesses must adopt ideologically driven language, regardless of biological fact — or face lawsuits for discrimination.
When critics raised legitimate concerns about the erosion of parental rights, supporters responded by comparing parental rights groups to the Ku Klux Klan and Nazis.
Facing growing national backlash, some transgender advocacy groups quietly expressed concern over the bill’s visibility. Lawmakers responded with superficial amendments, hoping to defuse opposition. The changes amounted to political theater — and nothing more.

Lawmakers removed the explicit bans on “deadnaming” and “misgendering” from HB131, but they didn’t abandon the agenda. Instead, they embedded new “rights” into the bill’s anti-discrimination section, including the right to use a “chosen name” and self-selected pronouns. In effect, the bill still prohibits deadnaming and misgendering — just under different language.
In practice, this means that if a public school student adopts a new name or pronouns, and a parent declines to affirm that change, the state could treat the parent as discriminatory. That refusal could trigger a state investigation. If authorities deem the parent abusive, the child could be removed from the home.
Amendments or not, HB1312 remains a dangerous overreach — an overt attempt to impose radical gender ideology through state power. It violates core constitutional protections and intrudes on the most basic parental rights.
HB1309, though less publicized, poses an equally serious threat. It mandates that health insurance plans — and by extension, taxpayers — fund any transgender medical intervention imaginable, from puberty blockers to hormones to surgeries. Yet according to a recent report from the Department of Health and Human Services, these procedures can cause lasting physical and psychological harm.
Gov. Jared Polis (D) has already signed HB1312 into law. It’s only a matter of time before he signs HB1309.
Building the transgender ‘pipeline’
Colorado’s so-called “trans continental pipeline” became official last year. Marketed as a sanctuary from “unsafe situations and political climates,” the program funnels transgender individuals into the state through an organized four-step relocation plan. Activists behind the pipeline once operated covertly on Tinder, the dating platform. Now they run a public website promoting the service.
The pipeline offers applicants help with moving, housing, employment, and access to hormone replacement therapy — all under the banner of “care.” Organizers boast that Colorado ranks among 14 states offering what they call the nation’s “best legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals.”
In reality, Colorado’s legislature and governor have fully aligned themselves with radical activists bent on transforming the state into a haven for gender ideology — at the expense of free speech, parental authority, and basic biological reality.
This agenda is not about tolerance. It’s about control. Its advocates want dominion over our children, our families, our language, and our wallets.
Silence is no longer an option. Americans of goodwill must reject the bullying tactics of transgender ideologues and stand firm for truth, for parental rights, and for the future of their communities.
Colorado’s Trangender Sanctuary State Bill Is Too Radical For California
Colorado's transgender bill defines child sterilization as "medically necessary" and punishes anyone who opposes it.Trump ruffles more feathers with RFK Jr. Cabinet pick
Liberals online began wailing and gnashing their teeth almost immediately after President-elect Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a seat in his Cabinet on Thursday.
As had long been rumored, Trump tapped RFK Jr. to be health and human services secretary. During his independent run for president, RFK Jr. made health a major focus of his campaign.
'Putting an anti-vaxxer in charge of public health is like putting the Unabomber in charge of the mail.'
After Kennedy dropped out in August and formally endorsed Trump, social media became ablaze with the slogan "Make America Healthy Again," a phrase that Trump often uttered in the close of his rally speeches.
"I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump wrote in a statement posted to X late Thursday afternoon.
In his statement, Trump also called public health and safety an administration's "most important role" but said that lately, Americans have endured an "overwhelming Health Crisis" on account of "harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives."
Under Kennedy's leadership, health agencies will fight back against the chronic disease "epidemic," return to the "Gold Standard" of scientific research, and become "beacons of Transparency," Trump continued.

CNN reported that Kennedy accepted the nomination sometime on Thursday.
In its article about the RFK nomination, the liberal outfit also described Kennedy as "one of the nation’s most prominent anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists" and accused him of spreading "false conspiracy theories about the safety and efficacy of vaccines." However, the outlet did not provide any examples of such alleged conspiracy theories.
The New York Times also claimed in its headline about the nomination that Kennedy "spread false information about vaccines."
Liberals online melted down over the news of Kennedy's nomination as well.
"Putting an anti-vaxxer in charge of public health is like putting the Unabomber in charge of the mail," tweeted the left-wing influencer known as Jo.
"It’s difficult to describe how utterly wretched RFK Jr. is. Not that I necessarily expect them to, but the Republican Senate *has* to put their foot down here. He’s one of the most deranged sociopaths in public life, and his war on childhood vaccination is unconscionable," wrote a user with 19K followers.
"RFK Jr. ran a spoiler campaign to help elect Donald Trump. Now, he’s reaping the benefits with a position that will jeopardize the health of millions of Americans," said a group of Democratic activists called End Citizens United.
However, not all Democrats assailed the pick. Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado in fact cheered it, claiming that RFK Jr. would help take "on big pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly."
"He will face strong special interest opposition on these, but I look forward to partnering with him to truly make America healthy again and I hope that we can finally make progress on these important issues," Polis added.
One industry likely to be upset by the pick is Big Pharma. Shortly after Trump announced the nomination, the stocks of many pharmaceutical companies reportedly tanked.
Kennedy did not make a statement about the Cabinet position but did retweet Trump's statement. Soon after Trump's landslide election victory, Kennedy hinted that he likely would be heavily involved in public health agencies during Trump's second term.
"President Trump has given me three instructions," Kennedy said, according to CNN. "He wants the corruption and the conflicts out of the regulatory agencies. He wants to return the agencies to the gold standard, empirically-based, evidence-based, science and medicine that they were once famous for. And he wants to end the chronic disease epidemic with measurable impacts on a diminishment of chronic disease within two years."
