Manhattan-size space object in our solar system: Harvard astronomer’s 4 reasons it could be alien



In case you weren’t aware, right now a giant interstellar object roughly the size of Manhattan is hurtling through our solar system. Dubbed 3I/ATLAS, scientists speculate that it’s nothing more than a natural comet or rogue planetary fragment. Calculations suggest that it poses no threat to Earth or her citizens and will miss us by millions of miles.

But Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb isn’t ready to dismiss 3I/ATLAS as a harmless astronomical entity. There are too many strange “coincidences” surrounding it.

Loeb’s theory?

Aliens.

On a recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Loeb told Glenn the four reasons he believes this is no ordinary space object.

The first reason 3I/ATLAS gives Loeb pause is its gargantuan size. 3I/ATLAS is significantly larger than its two predecessors, 'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov — a million times more massive than ‘Oumuamua and a thousand times more massive than Borisov.

“There is not enough rocky material in interstellar space to supply such a giant one once per decade to the inner solar system. We would expect it once per 10,000 years or so,” Loeb says.

The second reason he believes 3I/ATLAS could be a UAP is because according to Hubble Telescope images, the light the object emits is pointing “towards the sun,” as opposed to comets, where light points “away from the sun,” giving them a tail-like appearance.

“It's just like seeing an animal in your back yard and everyone says, ‘Oh, it must be a street cat because it has a tail,’ but then you look at the photograph of this animal and you see that the tail is coming from its forehead,” Loeb says.

Reason number three is that “the trajectory of [3I/ATLAS] is aligned to within five degrees with the ecliptic plane of the planets around the sun.” In simple terms, it's moving along the same "highway" as our solar system’s planets — an uncommon trajectory for interstellar objects.

“The chance of that is one in 500,” says Loeb, who says an alien life force would need to take this route if it wanted to do “a reconnaissance mission.”

Lastly, 3I/ATLAS’ arrival time is exceedingly peculiar. It’s passing through our solar system at a unique moment, coming very close to Mars, Venus, and Jupiter — a rarity given that these planets are constantly moving. You’d need perfect timing to line up near all three.

“That's another coincidence that might indicate fine-tuning,” Loeb tells Glenn.

Although experts attribute 3I/ATLAS' unusual traits to random chance, Loeb argues that the odds of such coincidences are "one in a million."

Glenn Beck exposes the REAL reason Canada keeps expanding euthanasia



Canada continues to slip even farther into a totalitarian, dystopian nightmare. On the global playing field, the nation is the front-runner for euthanasia, which it euphemistically calls medical assistance in dying.

Since legalizing MAID in 2016, Canada has seen the fastest increase in euthanasia deaths worldwide, surpassing even long-established programs in countries like the Netherlands and Belgium. In 2023, one in 20 deaths in Canada was a result of euthanasia.

This disturbing number is due to Canada’s broad criteria when it comes to who qualifies for the MAID program. Unlike most countries that practice euthanasia, Canadians don’t need to have a terminal illness to be eligible. To qualify for MAID, a Canadian citizen must be at least 19 years old, be mentally competent, and have some kind of insufferable condition, which can be psychological.

The intentional subjectivity of the program has allowed many Canadians with long lives ahead of them to die prematurely. There is even an increasing number of cases of citizens who cannot find affordable housing being recommended or approved for the MAID program.

Glenn Beck says this is the dark reality of universal health care. Canada’s medical system is overwhelmed, and euthanasia has become a means of controlling the population.

“These Canadian citizens — they get kicked out of the home. They can't find a place to live, and they're getting depressed about it. They go to the doctor and the doctor's like, ‘Well, we don't have any beds for you. It'll be months before we can see you,”’ he says.

Tragically, euthanasia has become the easy fix.

“When you have a government health care system, all it takes is a shortage of any kind, and then you start devaluing life on both ends of the spectrum,” says Glenn.

He unveils the sinister methodology that undergirds “free” health care: “Up until 12 years old, you get very little medicine and care, and over 50, they begin to cut your care. They keep the ones who are actually working hard and making all the money. They keep all of the care there because that's what's good for society.”

“This is exactly what's happening in Canada, and they're just not saying it,” he says. “They can't keep up with the system of care that they have up there … and so what they're trying to do is just reduce the surplus population.”

This is what happens when a society stops valuing life.

“If you don't prioritize life, at least from a legal standpoint, you put your society on a slippery slope that ends this way every single time,” says co-host Stu Burguiere.

While suicide has always been a sad part of reality, “coming to a societal acceptance of [it] puts you on a road to darkness,” he warns.

Canada is far down that dark path already, says Glenn. Before Canadian patients receive life-ending “medication,” they are given a drug called heparin that preserves their organs.

“And so as soon as the doctors off you, other doctors take you and take out your organs. And now Canada is becoming one of the biggest organ warehouses since Hammond,” he says.

Glenn Beck shares four things he learned at Charlie Kirk’s Medal of Freedom ceremony



On October 14, President Donald Trump posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the highest civilian honor in the United States — to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. The star-studded ceremony took place in the White House Rose Garden and coincided with what would have been Kirk’s 32nd birthday.

Declaring the day a “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk,” President Trump praised the conservative trailblazer as a "fearless warrior for liberty,” a “beloved leader who galvanized the next generation,” and a “a martyr for truth and freedom.”

Glenn Beck, who attended the ceremony, says he “learned a lot” in the span of a few hours. On a recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” he shared five things he learned from attending Charlie’s honorary ceremony.

1. President Trump is a force unlike any other.

Even though he was in the Middle East celebrating the peace deal he miraculously facilitated between Israel and Hamas, President Trump cut his trip short in order to be back in time for the Medal of Freedom ceremony, which he insisted happen on Charlie’s birthday.

This required him to go “36 hours” with no sleep, Glenn says, and still he handled it with his usual vigor and showmanship.

“I don’t know how this guy does it. ... Nothing non-natural goes into this guy's body,” he says, alluding to Trump’s commitment to total abstinence from alcohol, drugs, and all forms of stimulants.

2. Marco Rubio is “killing it.”

While Glenn was a fan of Marco Rubio long before he became the Secretary of State, he has noticed an incredible “change” in him since his confirmation.

“He’s killing it,” Glenn says, referencing Rubio’s diplomatic triumphs, hawkish stance on China, and tireless advocacy for American interests abroad.

When he asked Rubio at Charlie’s ceremony what has been the catalyst for his transformation into a total powerhouse, he humbly pointed to President Trump.

3. Erica Kirk is “gaining her voice.”

Even though the widow, mother of two, and new TPUSA CEO is still wrestling with the grief of losing her beloved husband, Erika Kirk is “really gaining her voice,” Glenn says.

During the ceremony, Erika accepted the award on behalf of her late husband and delivered an emotional speech, during which she shared personal anecdotes about Charlie’s faith, relayed a birthday message from their daughter, and pledged to continue his legacy at Turning Point USA.

She closed with: "To live free is the greatest gift, but to die free is the greatest victory."

“She was very good,” Glenn says.

4. The White House is more secure than ever.

“The security perimeter of the White House is astounding. It’s at least doubled,” Glenn says, adding that he’s heard the plan is to “[move] the security perimeter at least a block around [the White House], all the way around.”

This uptick in security has allowed President Trump to breathe a bit easier. “It was the first time I’ve seen the president in many months outside without bulletproof glass between us,” Glenn says.

Glenn’s biggest takeaway from the ceremony was that President Donald Trump, despite the incessant efforts by political opponents and the mainstream media to smear him, is a remarkable human being.

“The president was so gracious yesterday with everybody. I mean, he is really an amazing man,” he says.

‘SURREAL’: Glenn Beck shares what it was like talking to the FBI about Antifa



Now that President Trump has designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, unleashing the Department of Justice to investigate its funding networks, operations, and supporters, the mainstream media’s marching orders are: Revive the narrative that Antifa doesn’t exist.

Jimmy Kimmel, CNN’s Erin Burnett, and "The View’s" Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, among a long list of other media figures and Democrat officials, are claiming that Antifa is nothing more than an “imaginary” entity — a boogeyman used by the far right to vilify leftist activism.

Glenn Beck, however, has been sounding the alarm on the very real and insidious network that is Antifa. Last week, he aired the following episode exposing the hidden support and funding networks propping up the terrorist organization.

Soon after the episode dropped, Glenn was contacted by the FBI.

“Saturday I get a phone call: ‘The director would like to send over some agents to speak to you, Glenn,’” he recounts.

Shortly after, three FBI agents were sitting in his living room. Glenn called his head researcher, Jason Buttrill, to come over, and they spoke with the agents for two hours.

While the experience was “surreal,” it was also eye-opening.

“Let me just say this: Finally, we have an administration and an FBI director that is willing to go in deep — not surface, but deep,” says Glenn. “I can only imagine what we could have avoided if anyone in an administration would have done this in 2011.”

Glenn has a warning for anyone who has even loose ties to Antifa: “I would be very concerned. … The FBI is deadass serious.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, and all of the agents at the FBI,” he says.

This is what we’ve been waiting for.

As for the mainstream media talking heads pushing the narrative that Antifa doesn’t exist, Glenn says, that's "like saying al-Qaeda doesn’t exist.”

Their "logic" is basically that since there’s no headquarters address or HR department, then it doesn’t exist.

“It is a real point used in an intentionally dumb way to mislead,” says co-host Stu Burguiere. If anything, the fact that Antifa is “disengaged from a centralized [entity]” makes the group “more dangerous.”

And yet mainstream figures are pushing a false narrative to make it seem like Antifa is “not a threat.”

“They know it's not accurate, and they're trying to mislead people,” says Stu.

Glenn Beck issues chilling warning: ‘This is the new nuclear weapon’



While the Israel-Hamas ceasefire is dominating the news cycle and letting citizens of the world breathe mass sighs of relief, Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck believes there’s something brewing silently — and we should remain on our toes.

“Beijing just tightened its grip on rare earth elements. These are the minerals that make absolutely everything possible: your smartphone, your electric car, your missile defense system, your refrigerator. Everything depends on these rare earth minerals,” Glenn says.

“China, because of our inaction and stupid policies over the last couple of decades, control now 80% of the world’s supply chain. That cannot stand. Now, what they’re doing is they’re choking it off. They are now closing it up, and they are threatening the West, ‘No more rare earth minerals,’” he explains.

“If that happens, we cannot defend ourself,” he adds.


Glenn also notes that out of nowhere, the Pentagon has made a billion-dollar emergency order for those same rare earth minerals.

“That’s not normal. That’s not paperwork. That is the sound of a military quietly preparing for something — a shortage, possibly in a storm,” Glenn says.

In addition, JPMorgan Chase has just announced a $1.5 trillion investment plan in security and resilience.

“That’s not going to mom-and-pop shops. That’s not going to community loans. That money is being funneled straight into AI, defense manufacturing, and critical minerals. It’s as if the Pentagon and Wall Street just linked arms and decided to build a fortress economy together,” Glenn explains.

And interestingly, Glenn notes that the Dutch government has seized control of the Chinese-owned chipmaker on its own soil.

“They invoked emergency powers and nationalized the company to stop the Chinese influence over the semiconductor industry,” he says.

“That’s not good. Four stories, four continents, four quiet tremors in the ground. When you weave them all together, that’s when you begin to understand what all of this means,” Glenn continues.

And what it means is that “the old world as we know it is dying.”

“The world of free markets, the world of open trade, individual enterprise, the world that lifted billions out of poverty is being replaced now, slowly but surely, by something new. And this one is being done in the name of security,” he explains.

“This is the government aligning themselves with tech, rare earth minerals, et cetera, et cetera, to be able to win the AI war. All of this is a single unspoken motive, and that is the race to dominate artificial intelligence,” he continues.

“This is the new arms race. This is the new Manhattan Project, the new nuclear weapon, except this is a million times more enslaving than nuclear weapons could ever hope to be,” he adds.

‘HE HURT GIRLS’: High school athlete who REFUSED to play against an adult man speaks out



Frances Staudt is a high school athlete in Washington state who refused to play against a basketball team with a trans player — and has now been silenced for standing up for her own safety and beliefs.

Staudt recalls that on February 6, 2025, a biological male from another high school brutalized her teammates “using his biological advantage” and “clearly and intentionally” overpowered his competition.

“I was incredibly distraught at the fact that nobody would step in on our behalf, including the staff, coaches, referees, and parents from both sides. This is due to the sheer fact that in our society, we have been pushed to be silent and bow down to the demands to accept what we know to be untrue,” she wrote in a statement following the incident.

Because of Staudt’s reaction, she was “met with allegations of discrimination” and “threats made by other players and a grown man.”


“It was obvious there’s clear biological differences between girls and boys,” Staudt tells Glenn, recalling the first time she saw the male on the court.

Staudt also recalls there was a lot of “roughness on the court” and “pushing girls down and nothing that a normal girl” would have been able to do.

When Staudt first decided to sit out, she tells Glenn that no one really seemed to care. However, when she became upset seeing the male hurt girls on her team, “people really started having issues.”

When she went to the principal, he refused to “misgender” the individual, who was 18 when she was 15.

“When I was 15 years old, the 18-year-old man was in my own locker room. That is quite the opposite of safe and supported that I should be able to feel,” she says.

Staudt has filed a lawsuit and is waiting to hear back, hoping it will be in her favor.

In the meantime, she’s going to continue speaking out on behalf of young women everywhere — and she credits the late Charlie Kirk for her courage.

“I was an incredible fan of Charlie Kirk,” she tells Glenn. “I think he was an amazing man, and I think he’s given me a voice to speak out and given me courage, and I think that it’s important, although we are young, to speak up for what we believe in.”

“It’s important. I’ve had those values instilled by my family as well, and my parents, and I think it’s very important. He did not die in vain. I think that we need to make our country proud, and we are going to be the future of America, and we need to start acting like it,” she adds.

Are Hamas and Palestine in the book of Revelation?



As the world seems to grow darker by the day, many Christians find themselves wondering if we’re living in the end times. They look to the book of Revelation, where chronicled prophecies — many of which center around Israel and the Middle East — give us a window, albeit a blurry one, into the final days before Christ returns.

One theory that has emerged is that the current turmoil in the Middle East, including the events of October 7, aren’t merely political but actually mirror ancient biblical battles such as those between the Israelites and the Philistines.

Conservative author, filmmaker, and political commentator Dinesh D’Souza delves into this idea in his new documentary, “The Dragon’s Prophecy.” Weaving together on-site reporting, interviews (including with figures like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu), and archaeological discoveries, the film suggests that the same evil forces that fought against God’s people in the Bible are still at work today — just in new forms.

On a recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Dinesh joined Glenn to explain in his own words what the dragon’s prophecy is and why we would be wise to pay close attention to it.

“In the book of Revelation, 12, there is a depiction of a dragon, representing the devil, going to war against a woman, representing Israel, and the woman is pregnant, representing the Messiah,” D’Souza explains.

Satan, knowing he cannot win the ultimate battle, opts to kick God where it hurts most by targeting His most “cherished creation”: mankind. We see this in Genesis when the serpent leads Adam and Eve into sin, ushering all forms of darkness into the cosmos and necessitating the sacrifice of Jesus.

“I think for the same reason, the devil targets the Jews and the Christians — the Jews because they are the original chosen people,” says D’Souza. “And so the devil's agenda is really simple: Drive them out of their ancestral homeland from the river to the sea and also put a big Islamic victory arch right on top of their holiest site, which was the site of the Solomonic temple.”

This vitriol for the Jews is also channeled toward Christians, whom scripture describes as “spiritual Israelites,” he explains. “And so the devil is like, ‘I hate them too. I will persecute and harass and destroy the Christians no less than the Jews.”’ We see this happening today in the growing hostility toward Christians and Christian beliefs in the West.

Although President Donald Trump has miraculously facilitated a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, much conflict remains unresolved. And even if all the details of the negotiation are ironed out, it still doesn’t change the spiritual reality that undergirds this age-old conflict.

“Hamas in Arabic means something like force or strength, but in Hebrew, interestingly, the word means violence and destruction,” says D’Souza, noting that in the Hebrew Bible, the word “ḥāmās” is used repeatedly to describe wrongdoing, injustice, and brutality.

“The Bible in Hebrew, it literally says things like, ‘Lord, save me from the men of ḥāmās' or 'ḥāmās dwells in the dark places of the earth,”’ he tells Glenn.

But there’s another uncanny connection: The colors of the Palestinian flag mirror those of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Revelation 6, where white represents conquest, red represents war and bloodshed, black represents famine or economic collapse, and green represents death.

D’Souza notes, “There are so many of these connections. … You have to step back and reconsider if you are even understanding what's happening in front of you in the widest and sort of deepest possible light.”

Glenn, who has watched “The Dragon’s Prophecy,” says, “It is worth pondering because it shows you where we might be right now.”

This INSANE answer may have cost this Democrat her election



Katie Porter, a Democrat candidate for governor of California, was the most favored candidate to replace Gavin Newsom. However, her recent meltdown during a basic interview may have cost her everything.

“What do you say to the 40% of California voters who you’ll need in order to win who voted for Trump?” a reporter asked Porter.

“How would I need them in order to win, ma'am?” Porter asked, laughing.

“Well, unless you think you’re going to get 60% of the vote. You think you’ll get 60%? Everybody who did not vote for Trump will vote for you. That’s what you’re saying,” the reporter continued.

“In a general election, yes. If it is me versus a Republican, I think that I will win the people who did not vote for Trump,” Porter responded.


When the reporter asked what she would do if it was another Democrat that she was running against, Porter answered that she didn’t “intend that to be the case,” which confused the reporter even more.

“How do you not intend that to be the case? Are you going to ask them not to run?” the reporter asked.

As the interview went on, Porter continued to refuse to answer the initial question, which was “What do you say to the 40% of California voters” whom she’ll need to win, calling the reporter "unnecessarily argumentative.”

Porter then said, “I don’t want to keep doing this. I’m going to call it.”

“You’re not going to do the interview with us?” the reporter said, stunned.

“Nope. Not like this. I’m not. Not with seven follow-ups to every single question you ask,” Porter said.

“Every other candidate has answered —” the reporter responded, before Porter cut her off again, and then fought her on her attempts to keep the interview going, calling herself a “leader.”

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck and BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere are stunned by the interview.

“Didn’t go well,” Glenn says.

“She’s never had to deal with follow-up questions before. … We sometimes don’t appreciate what a great life it must be on the left. … You never have to deal with anything. No one ever asks you a follow-up. No one ever pushes you on anything,” Stu comments.

“She asks one minor follow-up question that isn’t adversarial at all, and she pulls the plug on the interview,” he continues, shocked.

“That’s not even a follow-up question. It’s like, ‘Do you want more voters?’ That’s the hard question she walked out of an interview for,” he adds.

SCOTUS decides: Should conversion therapy be ILLEGAL?



In 2019, a law was passed in Colorado that banned counselors from attempting to change a minor client’s gender identity or sexual orientation, including behaviors or gender expressions. Effectively, they banned conversion therapy.

However, there is an exception.

“The counselor can offer assistance to a person undergoing gender transition. So, you can help them one direction, you just can’t help them the other direction,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck explains on “The Glenn Beck Program.”

And one woman is taking on the law, arguing that her free speech is being violated.

Kaley Chiles is a licensed counselor and Christian out of Colorado Springs who specializes in addiction, trauma, sexuality, gender dysphoria, and other mental health concerns. Her clients are those seeking religiously informed care that aligns with biblical teachings, especially on sexuality and gender.


Prior to 2019, Chiles was fine. She counseled clients, including minors, and helped many with gender dysphoria.

Now, her lawsuit has gone all the way to the Supreme Court.

“That’s the court case that the Supreme Court heard yesterday. … Is counseling freedom of speech? Can I not counsel based on my religious dictates? Colorado says no. This is going to be a huge case,” Glenn says.

“I believe that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained by God, and the family is central to the Creator’s plan for eternal destiny of his children. ... I believe all human beings, male and female, are created in the image of God,” he continues.

“We have people in black robes deciding whether that can be said by me, by you, by a counselor, by a priest. In Colorado today, that counselor cannot sit down with that minor and say what I just said. It’s against the law in Colorado,” he says. “Is that the freedom that the left is preaching for?”

Don’t let rage blind you: A national divorce is a death wish



Over the last few months, Glenn Beck has heard many fed-up conservatives float the idea of a “national divorce.” After the slew of left-wing violence, including the murder of Charlie Kirk and the relentless attacks on ICE officers and facilities, he understands their frustration.

However, a national divorce or, more frankly, a civil war “must never be considered,” he says.

Before such talk gets picked up and circulated by the algorithmic powers that create trends by fueling rage, Glenn wants to ensure that his audience has it straight: A national divorce isn’t some new “season of television.” This is about “your life — your ordinary, miraculous, taken-for-granted life — ending.”

“Everything you grew up knowing, believing in, having, having the opportunity to have, be, do — over. It won’t change; it ends. That’s what civil war means,” Glenn warns.


Birthday parties, backyard barbecues, little league, school plays — all “gone,” he says.

“And it doesn’t come back with an election or a speech or a victory parade. It doesn’t come back at all,” he adds.

Our government is special, Glenn reminds: “A government of, for, and by the people has never been done before.”

The people carelessly throwing around the idea of civil war need to understand the reality of what they’re suggesting, he says. “It’s neighbors. It’s cul-de-sacs. It’s the grocery store and the gas station and the pharmacy. It’s the lights you never think about until they don’t turn on, the water you never worry about until it comes out brown, if it comes out at all.”

It means banks shut down, gas stations run dry, 911 call centers don’t answer, pharmacies board up, and grocery store shelves empty and aren’t restocked.

Too many people think their “side” will protect them, but “here’s the truth,” Glenn says: “Sides protect themselves, and both sides will ask you to prove your loyalty with things you promised yourself you would never, ever do. Good people, just like you, will do them because fear is a sculptor, and it carves away at conscience first.”

And then there are “the guests who arrive when a great house is on fire — the cartels, the opportunists, the foreign intelligence services, the war tourists with passports and GoPros.”

“They don’t choose sides. They just choose opportunities and openings,” Glenn warns. “And they open the opportunities you didn’t even know you had — your grid, your water plants, your data center, your port. And they don’t fly flags. They fly yours and then let you blame one another to fuel the fire.”

While “it is reasonable to ask, ‘What do we have in common anymore?’” our next questions should always be: “How can we find common ground? How can we understand each other?”

“Before you retweet bravado, count the cost of where we could be headed — and not in abstract numbers, but in faces: the old man on your street who needs oxygen, the single mom who works at night, the kid who just made the team, the clerk at the corner store,” Glenn urges.

“These are the times that try men’s souls. ... Those who stand today and do the hard work — God’s work of love and peacemaking and uniting and speaking the truth — they will be owed a thanks for generations to come. Turn down the algorithm, and turn up the conversation.”
