Fraud Is The Inevitable Result Of Democrats’ Marxist Politics
Although voters have every reason to grumble about affordability, they should not be fooled into thinking that putting Democrats into office will fix anything.The left is determined to divide people into competing groups of oppressors and oppressed — and Christian apologist Frank Turek knows why.
“Marxism is all about the group, whereas Christianity is all about the individual. … That's the focus of the war on reality right now,” Turek tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck.
“They want people to identify everybody by an identity group,” he explains. “‘What identity group are you in?’ And if you are part of that collective, you’re oppressed. And if you’re not, you’re automatically an oppressor.”
“We’re not judging people individually any more,” he says. “We’re judging people by what? Even non-behavioral identity groups that they’re in. ‘Oh, you’re white, Glenn. You’re a bad guy. Oh, you’re a man. You’re a heterosexual. You’re a citizen of the U.S. You’re a Christian, Glenn. You’re an oppressor.’”
“But if you have the opposite qualities, you’re automatically oppressed,” he adds.
“It’s the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” Glenn agrees. “You must destroy that God because that’s the personal God. That’s the first personal, and the only personal, God — the one true God.”
“And so all of this — this is why people hate Jews and why they’re trying to get Christians to say, ‘We don’t need to remember that Jesus was a Jew.’ Because if you can get ... yourself away from the Old Testament, now you don’t have the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob any more,” he continues. “And all of that falls apart.”
“You must have that. That’s why there’s this war. Everything boils down to that: the God of the individual,” he adds.
Turek agrees, noting that “it’s also why Marxism dispenses with the individual.”
“They think the state is eternal,” he says.
“Whereas we Christians know the state isn’t eternal,” he continues. “It’s individuals that are eternal, and they’re going to be judged individually.”

Heading into midterm elections this fall, Washington is zeroed in on socialism, party loyalty, and political power, but Glenn Beck warns that the issue capable of overwhelming every political talking point is sitting at the bottom of voters’ grocery carts.
“Pew just asked voters in July what they would most want to hear about, and it was prices,” he says. “People ask which party they trust on the economy, and it's 37 to 36 so it's a coin flip.”
“People are tired, and they want normal,” he concludes.
But the nation being exhausted and desperate for relief is a scary place to be, Glenn warns. What this Pew data reveals, he argues, is that tired people don’t carefully pick a philosophy or ideology; they pick whichever path sounds more promising — even if it leads off a cliff.
On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn goes back to 1920 to show what a worn-out country actually does with its vote.
“We've been here before. 1920, this country was wrung out in a way that makes us look coddled right now — a war, then a flu that killed more than the war, strikes, bombs in the mail, riots, prices that were eating a paycheck alive, socialism and progressivism gone wild,” Glenn recalls.
Ohio newspaperman Warren Harding campaigned on one word: “normalcy.” The message resonated so deeply with the public that he won in a huge landslide. But in that same election, roughly one million people still voted for socialist Eugene Debs, who at the time was in federal prison and couldn’t even campaign.
Glenn draws one conclusion: Exhaustion ≠ moderation.
“I think that's what we keep getting wrong. A tired country does not move to the center. It just moves away, and it moves away in any direction that's open,” he says.
He fears that the 2026 midterms will mirror the 2020 and 2024 elections, where people voted based on their overwhelming desire for “rest” instead of which candidate had the soundest philosophy.
“A man doing math in a grocery store ... is not being propagandized, OK? He's doing math, and his arithmetic is right,” says Glenn, “and no microphone, no propaganda beats arithmetic — not mine, not a cable news network’s, not the president’s, nobody.”
“You can be entirely right about the direction of the country and still lose to a receipt from the grocery store, and I think that's what's happening,” he warns.
But many of the Democratic midterm candidates are “Marxists,” Glenn points out, and while voting for them may scratch the normalcy itch, there’s nothing normal about Marxism.
Normal, he explains, isn’t really something we can vote for. Only “programs” can be voted for — and that applies to both sides of the political aisle.
Glenn reminds that Harding’s promise of normalcy may have won over voters, but “his administration became synonymous for corruption.”
“Any man who promises you that he's going to take you back to that place [of normalcy] is selling you something, and he's selling you something he doesn't have,” he says.
There’s only one standard for measuring if what a candidate is offering is truly “normal,” says Glenn, and that’s the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Ten years after Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protest ignited one of the biggest cultural battles in sports history, the former NFL quarterback says he still believes the league has blackballed him.
But according to BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock, that claim misses the bigger story.
“Ten years later, Colin Kaepernick just told the country he won,” Whitlock says.
“He sat with NBC News and said he no longer watches the NFL because the league is actively blackballing him and the men who knelt with him. He watches college football now. That is not a quarterback begging for a clipboard; that is a man who knows the institution already belongs to him,” he explains.
“A three-minute kneel during the national anthem has been stretched into game-long signs in every NFL stadium. ‘End racism,’ ‘stop hate,’” he continues, noting that it’s not going away any time soon.
“For the 2026 season, the seventh straight year of the stencil, the league will paint those slogans in the grass and on the helmets again. Marxist liturgy as field decoration. [Kaepernick] never needed another snap. He needed the building to preach after he left the huddle,” he says.
And the “diversity score cards" within the league — like the male cheerleaders who went viral not too long ago — still “sit in the front office as if they were defensive schemes.”
“The NFL did not stumble into this; it was discipled into it. [Kaepernick] watches college football and accuses the NFL of blackballing him,” Whitlock says.
“He can afford the sneer. He is one of America’s greatest Trojan horses. He never recaptured the quarterback job. He captured the institution,” he continues. “The NFL thought it was containing a protest. It was being converted by one.”
“What began as a sideline gesture now owns the grass, the hiring, and the moral vocabulary of Sunday. The loudest league in the country is still kneeling. The quietest quarterback already cashed the cultural check,” he adds.
And while Kaepernick is often treated as a “failed activist,” that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
“Ten years later, we are still talking about Colin Kaepernick. … That is a cultural victory that never required a comeback, a tryout, or another down. He sacrificed a fading quarterback career and got a league to carry his flag,” Whitlock says.

Jeremy Boreing has a new series out on Amazon called "The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin," which is a live-action historical fantasy series adapted from the novels by Stephen R. Lawhead.
“Almost everything on television now is about witchcraft and, you know, all of this crap. Not much is about Christianity. So I started watching this, and it starts with pagan gods and everything else, and I’m not going to give anything away, but it doesn’t last with the pagan gods very long,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck explains.
“And nowhere on television are you getting that kind of message in a good-quality series,” he says.
Glenn also notes that he’s “not getting anything" for promoting the series.
“It is so controversial in our circle of friends. You know, it’s ridiculous,” he says.
"Can we stop all this, please? Can we please stop? I don’t consider anyone a competitor. And I don’t know why everybody is considering everyone else a competitor. We’re not competitors.”
“You know who we’re competing against? Satan. We’re competing against evil. We’re competing against Marxism. We’re competing against apathy. We’re not competing against each other,” he continues.
“Why we don't all promote one another, why we don't all help each other, why we all don’t celebrate everybody’s victories when they have it is beyond me. Here is a TV series, and the downside is I don’t think another season’s going to be made unless this is wildly popular, and I think it could be if people will search it out,” he adds.
Glenn calls the show “as good as anything [he has] seen in that genre.”
“And everybody should say something about it. It’s a victory. That was beautiful and well done. It’s one of the best things I’ve seen our side produce,” he adds.

I have no desire to run for public office. The last elected position I held was junior class vice president at St. Francis High School in La Cañada, California. That was in the late ’80s. My campaign for senior class president failed spectacularly and culminated with a lecture from a courageous Cuban refugee on democracy properly understood — a humbling story for another time.
Apart from that, I have no desire to spend weeks or months of a campaign defending every little thing I’ve said and written over the past 40 years, which, at this point, amounts easily to a couple million words.

No, I’m not going to disavow the column I wrote for the UCSD Guardian in the early 1990s arguing, more or less, for the repeal of the 26th Amendment. Yes, I stand by the piece I wrote for the Sacramento Bee more than a decade ago declaring Millennials “the Idiot Generation.”
But that’s part of the deal. When you run for office, you’re running on your record.
Which makes the spectacle of Democratic candidates — democratic socialists especially — frantically scrubbing inconvenient old social-media posts so absurd. And so very delicious.
People are allowed to change their minds. Politicians too. Heaven knows I have.
But changing your mind is not the same thing as deleting evidence that you once held certain opinions.
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is learning this lesson the hard way.
El-Sayed had already been taking flak over his relationship with left-wing streamer Hasan Piker, who notoriously said, “America deserved 9/11.” El-Sayed disavowed Piker’s comments in early August.
But now a deleted El-Sayed post from the 20th anniversary of 9/11 has resurfaced. He mourned the nearly 3,000 Americans murdered that day, then turned to the far larger number of people he said were killed in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan in the wars that followed.
I don’t particularly care whether El-Sayed’s argument offends anybody. Foreign policy is debatable. So are America’s wars. I care that he tried to make the argument disappear.
If he believes it, he should defend it. If he doesn’t, he should explain why not. But he shouldn’t get to hide.

There is an amusing wrinkle. El-Sayed’s communications director, Roxie Richner, has a remarkable social-media record of her own. During the “Summer of Floyd” in 2020, the freckle-faced ginger girl declared that “all white women are policy failures,” lectured white people about “dismantling white supremacy,” and lashed out at people asking whether she was defending looting.
Richner was young. Very young. And demonstrably stupid. She had interned for El-Sayed’s 2018 gubernatorial campaign when she was just 16.
But she was hardly some random teenager sounding off online. By 2020, she was already working professionally in Democratic politics.
Should something an 18-year-old tweeted follow her forever? Probably not. But if those views no longer represent her, the obvious question is the same one her boss should answer: What changed?
Which brings me to Darializa Avila Chevalier, scourge of the American empire and Western civilization.
The New York democratic socialist congressional nominee deleted an old Twitter account from which the Internet Archive preserved more than 3,600 posts. Among them were praise for Marxism and communism, demands to abolish police, prisons, and borders, and some spicy rhetoric about seizing private property.
Chevalier wants voters to know she has “grown considerably.”
Growth is good! But forgive me if I have a few questions.
What precisely was the catalyst for that considerable growth? Did it occur before or after she decided to run for Congress? Which of those old positions — if any — does she now reject? Does she still favor abolishing “the very concept of policing”? What about prisons? Borders? All private property?
Which belief did she abandon first, and what convinced her it was mistaken? Apart from political viability, obviously.
Those are exactly the questions anyone claiming political maturation should be prepared — even eager — to answer.
Growth describes movement from one place to another. If a candidate wants credit for the distance traveled, voters have a right to know where she started, where she ended up, and what happened along the way.
Otherwise, “I’ve grown” isn’t so much an explanation as it is a cheap evasion.

Wisconsin’s Francesca Hong offered another funny variation this summer. In 2020, the failed democratic socialist gubernatorial candidate posted “Cancel Thanksgiving,” calling the holiday a celebration of colonialism. The post disappeared. This summer, Hong announced that Thanksgiving was actually her “favorite holiday.”
I guess the turkey won her over. Unfortunately for Hong, it didn’t win over the voters.
Scrubbing inconvenient positions from the public record is not exclusively a Democratic vice. Republicans do it too. Trump-backed Maryland gubernatorial nominee Dan Cox scrubbed portions of his website after winning his 2022 primary. This year, Republican congressional candidates Eric Flores and Ralph Alvarado quietly de-emphasized their support for the president on their websites after securing their nominations.
The rule applies to everybody.
It’s not like we’re talking about stray remarks uttered after a few drinks at somebody’s wedding. These were political statements (“arguments” might be too generous a term), made publicly and often repeatedly, because the people making them wanted other people to like and share them.
Then some of them decided to run for higher office and discovered that an electorate is considerably larger and less zealous than activists at a DSA meeting.
The Wayback Machine is not an opposition-research dirty trick. It is your record.
But I’m happy to offer an honorable way out. Fess up. Own it.
“Yes, I said it. I believed it. I was wrong.” Then explain why.
Or: “Yes, I said it. I still believe it. Elect me or don’t.”
I would respect either answer.
Some things I’ve said and written over four decades have aged well. Some haven’t. Some undoubtedly look pretty dumb today — I assume. They’re still mine.
