Glenn Beck: These Sharia law poll numbers are TERRIFYING



Justin Haskins of the Heartland Institute is sounding the alarm on a recent survey that revealed just how open Americans are to Sharia law.

The poll asked a series of questions regarding the Islamic legal system, and Haskins found that the younger an American is, the more likely he or she is to be in support of it.

“Twenty-one percent of all voters say that they have a somewhat positive view of Sharia law, which is radical. I mean, radical Islam is associated with this,” Haskins tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck of the first question asked.

“The younger you are, the more likely you are to have a positive view of Sharia law,” he adds.


But the questions only got more intense, and the answers got more alarming.

When they asked, “Would you support a law that requires public schools to teach about the benefits of Sharia law?”

"Eight percent said yes, 76% said no, 16% said not sure," says Haskins

“Which I don’t know how you could not be sure about that. Similar to the last question, the young people's support was much, much higher. Twenty-four percent of 18- to 24-year-olds said yes, they do want that law. Thirty-one percent of 25- to 29-year-olds, around 20% when you get into the late 30s, and it goes down until you get to 3% for people 40 and above,” Haskins explains.

The third question asked was, “If a majority of people in an American town, city, or state were to want Sharia law, would you support a proposal that would allow Sharia to become the legal code for all citizens in that town, city, or state?”

Seven percent said yes, 83% said no, 10% said not sure.

“I mean, this is overthrowing the Constitution. This is overthrowing the rule of law, is overthrowing individual liberty. You have a quarter of young people saying that they would favor that,” Haskins says.

And it’s only downhill from there.

Haskins calls the response to number four “astounding,” which was: “What poses a greater threat to America’s future? Sharia law or America’s alliance with Israel?”

Forty-three percent said Sharia law, while 25% said America’s alliance with Israel.

Bu number five may be the most disappointing.

“Which religious ideology poses a greater threat to America’s future? Sharia law or traditional Christianity?”

“Fifty-five percent said Sharia law. So that’s the majority, but it's only 55%. Thirteen percent said traditional Christianity. Twenty-three percent says neither poses a threat, which I think is a reasonable answer to have. And 9% says not sure,” Haskins explains.

“I mean, this is a pretty straightforward question. It’s either neither, or it's Sharia law. But nobody should be saying traditional Christianity,” he adds.

Glenn Beck: The multitrillion-dollar ‘AI debt’ crisis unfolding in front of our eyes



Artificial intelligence is being sold as a necessary, giant leap forward. But there’s another story unfolding beneath it: a borrowing spree unlike anything America has ever seen.

And Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck is sounding the alarm, asking, “Who is borrowing more money now than anybody in America besides the federal government?”

“The people who are borrowing more money than anybody else are the people building artificial intelligence,” he explains, and the company SoftBank is among them.

“SoftBank just borrowed $11 billion in junk bonds, paying as much as 9 and 3/4%,” he says.


“Oracle’s interest bill for one quarter jumped 55%. Their interest is now $1.4 billion. JP Morgan expects $4 trillion of AI debt to be issued between now and 2030."

"That’s a tenth of our national debt borrowed,” he continues.

“And just in time, as the price of borrowing is climbing. This is like building your dream house with an adjustable-rate mortgage,” he says. “And the rate just keeps being adjusted, and it’s always up. How long would that last?”

And now one of the biggest data center landlords in the country, CoreWeave, is “[telling] its investors that every one-point rise in interest rates costs it another $30 million a year.”

“Then last week, Brookings put a price on the whole thing. $10.3 trillion for America’s AI build-out between 2025 and 2032,” Glenn says.

“What is the debt in the interest on that?”

“Now, you measure that against the size of the economy,” he continues. “That is bigger than the canals. That’s bigger than electrifying the entire country. That’s bigger than the interstate highway system. That’s bigger than the railroads.”

However, this is a massive bet the AI companies are making — as a recent Gallup poll says 71% of Americans don’t want a data center in their own towns.

“This is the biggest bet in not American history — in human history. This, let me say it again, the biggest bet in all of human history,” Glenn says.

“When a bet is too big to fail and too sacred to question, there’s only one place the bill can go,” he explains. “One place.”

“I want you to ask one question of your congressman, and I want you to send a clear message to everybody in Washington. Ask this question: If it goes wrong, who pays? If the answer is fuzzy, so is the plan,” he continues. “And it will end up being on your shoulders.”

Glenn Beck: The UVU report on Charlie Kirk’s death isn’t the plot you think it is



Last week, Utah Valley University — the campus where Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September 2025 — released an independent 158-page after-action report concluding that university staff did not act in bad faith.

While Glenn Beck is not surprised at the report’s conclusions, he is surprised by the reactions to it.

“It’s all released, and within an hour, everybody had a verdict. … The family's lawyer blamed the university. Parts of the left blamed Turning Point. Podcasters said, ‘The silence is the real story,’” he says.

These one-sided hot takes, he says, are proof that we have left the information age behind and entered an era that riles us up but costs us the truth.

“We were in the information age. Now we're in the opinion and outrage age,” says Glenn. “Opinion is the currency of the day, and it is so cheap to print. Nobody ever runs out of opinions. … Facts are what's scarce in today's world.”

The “silence” from Turning Point and Charlie’s security that certain podcasters are interpreting as evidence of a cover-up has a very practical explanation, Glenn argues: “The family has filed notice of a lawsuit. Lawsuits make people stop talking.”

“Everybody's going to court, and they've all got an attorney. That’s not silent; it's just a blank space. And in the opinion age, somebody has to rush to fill in that silence,” he says.

But this reflex isn’t new. Glenn points to the sinking of the Titanic as the best example of how a series of ordinary gaps can turn into massive conspiracy theories.

He explains that before the ship departed, a last-minute officer change sent David Blair off the ship carrying the key to the locker that held the lookouts’ binoculars, which later forced lookouts to watch with the naked eye. Radio operators then brushed off ice warnings to send passenger telegrams, and although the ship carried enough lifeboats to meet an outdated law, it didn’t have enough seats for everyone on board.

But instead of seeing the string of small failures that led to a catastrophic one, many “tried to make it into a conspiracy,” says Glenn.

Even though the “dots” substantiating a conspiracy theory are often “real,” “the line between them is not.”

That’s how he interprets the buzz around UVU’s report. And while hyperfixation on conspiracy theories is understandable to Glenn — because “a plot means somebody is in charge; catch him and it can't happen again” — he knows they rarely lead to the truth.

“The truth is harder. Nobody's driving sometimes. … It's just ordinary people doing ordinary jobs, leaving a small hole, and that's how Charlie Kirk gets killed,” he says.

Glenn Beck: This may be the DARKEST secret coming out of China



In most countries, getting a life-saving organ transplant depends on tragedy, timing, and luck.

But according to the author of "Killed to Order," Jan Jekielek, China operates under a very different system.

“In a normal ethical transplantation regime like here, if I need a new heart, right, someone has to have a catastrophic accident and that heart needs to match me, blood type and tissue type, so my body doesn’t reject it,” Jekielek tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck.

“We end up with a situation where there’s very, very few available hearts for transplant. There has to be this catastrophic accident. In China, it’s the exact reverse,” he continues.

Jekielek explains that one of the original whistleblowers was a transplant surgeon who noticed that a patient was able to get an organ to order in just two weeks' time.


“Which means that that catastrophic accident was being arranged,” he tells Glenn.

And to be able to arrange this kind of sale, China has a very specific recipe.

“They have this long history in communist China of creating class enemies. OK, one of the first was land owners. They wanted to seize people’s land,” Jekielek explains.

“So they push this mass dehumanizing propaganda into the system, demonizing the land owners, convincing everybody that these are bad people, that they’re evil, that they’re dangerous, and basically conditioning the population to hate these people,” he continues.

After a successful dehumanization campaign, these people are incarcerated.

“They blood-typed, tissue-typed, and organ-scanned them across a database of a million or maybe 2 million people,” he tells Glenn.

“If I’m a rich person, I’ve got that 200 grand. I drop the money. That transaction is made, and I can get that new heart in two weeks,” he continues.

“Someone the regime has pushed dehumanizing propaganda against to be used against their will as my donor kills to order. That is what they do over there,” he adds.

1619 Project founder sent her daughter to failing Brooklyn schools in the name of racial justice. Now she regrets it.



Nikole Hannah-Jones is a Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times Magazine journalist best known for creating the 1619 Project — a New York Times Magazine initiative that aims to reframe U.S. history by treating 1619 (the year the first enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia) as the genesis of the American story and arguing that slavery’s legacy still shapes American institutions.

But it appears the principles that undergird Hannah-Jones’ initiative backfired in her personal life. Earlier this week, she published an essay expressing regret that she sent her daughter to struggling, predominantly black Brooklyn public schools as a political statement.

“[Hannah-Jones] said that white kids and rich kids went to the same school because it's much better, and that left behind other kids at the bad school,” says Glenn Beck, “so even though she could afford to send her child to the best school, she didn't, and everybody on the left praised her for that.”

But payment for this political stunt eventually came due. Now Hannah-Jones’ daughter — 16-year-old Najya — is complaining she’s been academically cheated.

“She has missed major years of education. She's so far behind in math now, and it's her favorite subject, she can barely catch up even with a tutor,” says Glenn.

He imagines what Najya is saying to her mother right now: “Mom, you put your ideology ahead of me. You were making all of this money, and you were so against privilege that you wouldn't use that money from supposedly your hard work to put me in a better school. You left me behind to make a point. You'll fight for all the kids, but you won't fight for me.”

Glenn, calling the story “terrible” and “devastating,” frames Najya’s undeserved fate as an example of what happens when parents “sacrifice their kids for the god of their ideology.”

By the time Nikole Hannah-Jones figured out that’s what she’d done to her daughter, “it was too late,” he says. “The damage was done; she had harmed her own child.”

Even still, Glenn doesn’t judge her.

“I don't know if I'm any different than she is because ... I sacrificed my time with my children, and I'm paying a heavy price,” he acknowledges. “All that praise that Nikole got from strangers, it didn't mean anything. Any of the praise I get from the audience, it doesn't mean anything.”

“The life of our children is the only thing that has meaning in the world — more meaning than any ideology,” he continues.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where ideology often ranks above the well-being of children.

“We have a generation of parents that is wrapped so tightly in the collective, they can barely see out,” says Glenn.

People are more connected than ever, so why is loneliness literally killing us? Glenn Beck gives an uncomfortable answer



In this digital age we live in, there’s never been more ways to connect with people thanks to the internet — and yet loneliness and social isolation are so extreme, they were declared an epidemic by the last surgeon general.

The cost of extreme loneliness and isolation is steeper than most realize. In his advisory, Vivek Murthy warned: “Loneliness and social isolation increase the risk for premature death by 26% and 29% respectively. More broadly, lacking social connection can increase the risk for premature death as much as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. In addition, poor or insufficient social connection is associated with increased risk of disease, including a 29% increased risk of heart disease and a 32% increased risk of stroke. Furthermore, it is associated with increased risk for anxiety, depression, and dementia.”

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck is deeply concerned for Americans impacted by loneliness.

“Loneliness is not a mood. It's a medical condition — and it has now a body count in America,” he says, noting that the issue is more prevalent among men.

“In 1995, 55% of American men said they had at least six close friends. Today, that number is 27. ... The men with no close friends at all — none, zero — went from 3% to 15[%],” he says.

These dismal statistics, he notes, ironically do not mirror what most people’s social media accounts say.

“You might have 900 friends, 1,400 friends on your phone. ...You're in touch with more human beings before breakfast than your great-grandfather met in his lifetime, so how is it we are starving at this buffet?” he asks.

Research, Glenn explains, has repeatedly pointed to 150 as the number of relationships a community can truly sustain; once a group grows past that, the bonds start to thin.

Today most people are glued to devices that connect them to well beyond 150 people, but few, if any, of those bonds satisfy our deep need for two-way connection.

These devices “[fill] the slots without paying the freight,” says Glenn. “There's a name for this. It's called parasocial relationships — it's a one-way bond in which you accumulate real knowledge, real affection for somebody, but that person on the other end has no idea that you exist.”

Glenn acknowledges that many of his own audience members are engaged in parasocial relationships with him.

“You might have listened to me for 25 years, but you don't really know me. You know my kids' names. You know what I sound like. ... You've been in the car with me more hours than you've been in a room probably with your own brother, but I don't know you. I'd love to, but I can't,” he says.

“What you feel isn't fake — and that's what makes it work. And that's also what makes it dangerous because it satisfies the hunger without feeding you,” he continues.

To those who think influencers, podcasters, and digital communities can fill their social cup, Glenn offers a stark warning: “I'm not a friend. Neither is the podcaster. Neither is the streamer or the ball player whose name is on your back.”

Close friendship requires time — over 200 hours, according to a 2019 University of Kansas study.

Over time, however, people began spending less and less time face-to-face, and almost without noticing, loneliness and isolation crept in and began eating away at communities and people’s social and emotional health.

“Those 200 hours used to accumulate by accident on a porch, at a shop, after church, in a bowling league, in the driveway, but the accidents have stopped — and nobody replaced them,” Glenn laments. “That's why we're lonely.”

White House drops anti-communism ad as Xi arrives in US — Glenn Beck says everyone’s missing the point



On Wednesday, the White House released an anti-communism TV ad titled “America Will Never Be a Communist Country.” It started airing on Fox News and Newsmax the same night Xi Jinping touched down in the United States for a summit.

Glenn Beck believes the contents and the timing of the ad are no coincidence.

He points out that the ad’s montage of images feature “[Trump] with the people” and “in the Oval Office,” followed by several clips of jets and bombers.

“[Trump] is showing the people love me; I am everywhere; I am doing everything; I have a huge apparatus and a huge support in the country. Oh, and one more thing. I have the toughest effing military in the world,” says Glenn.

He believes Trump “is sending Xi a message”: “We love you. You're a great friend. But we will never be communist.”

“That commercial is, I think, more for the Chinese than it is for you,” he says, noting that the message was likely also targeted at New York City socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Trump, Glenn explains, is deliberately flexing American military muscle. Just as he fills the Oval Office with gold as “a projection of power for the Europeans,” he is showing Xi Jinping that “America is not weak, that Trump is not weak.”

China's perception, he claims, is that Americans are weak complainers.

“They hear us as a bunch of whiny people. ... We have told the entire world, every enemy of ours, we have no stomach for war. ... You hit us with gas, we're done,” says Glenn.

“Notice that Xi stayed out of the conflict with Iran for a while — until when? Until we started whining about gas. He saw that, and he went, ‘Ah, they're going to back out because the American people won't put up with it.’ That’s when he got involved.”

When Xi arrived in the U.S. this week, Trump’s “number one job,” Glenn speculates, was to sit him down and show that neither America nor Trump is weak — regardless of what the polls say.

He conjectures that Trump was indirectly telling Xi, “I don't care if I have a 4% approval rating. I don't care what you've heard about our military. I got so much stuff packed in mountains that nobody even knows about, and I'll use all of it.”

“He has to convince Xi to back out,” says Glenn, explaining that China “is doing more to hurt our gas prices than anybody else because China is now supplying things for the Iranian people.”

What everyone is missing about Trump’s anti-communism ad, he argues, is that it’s directly tied to lowering gas prices.

“So when you see [this ad], know one thing,” says Glenn. “That's the president working for you at the gas pump. That is the president saying, ‘I hear the American people. I know what's going on. The number one guy who is making that price go up is President Xi.’”

Trump is trying to cut off Iran’s “lifeline,” he explains. Even though it’s China sitting in the Oval Office, Iran is getting a clear indirect message: “You're not phoning any friends anymore. You're isolated. You're alone. I'm going to collapse you. And if I can't collapse you, I'll kill every single one of you one by one. You are not going to survive.”

Swift shift? Taylor Swift shocks Glenn Beck — and not how you would expect



Glenn Beck is stunned that a story involving none other than Taylor Swift — the LGBTQ ally, abortion-supporting pop star — is bringing not only a smile to his face but also a little hope for the future.

A video of the newlywed singer cheering as her husband, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, scored his first touchdown of the season, is going viral. In the clip, Swift points to her wedding ring, screaming, “That’s my husband!”

While Glenn “[doesn’t] care” about Swift as a celebrity, he knows that she has an unprecedented ability to shape the culture.

“The countless women who have never been told the power of supporting their husbands’ passions are seeing that video. They have never been told that it's a good and honorable thing to support their husbands, and they don't know how much that means to men,” he says.

“Now Taylor Swift is doing that. This is a cultural moment — an important one. It will give more women permission to point to their wedding ring and go, ‘That's my husband,”’ he adds.

But before Swift made it cool to support one’s husband, Glenn was encouraging women to do just that.

“I said at my speech for Charlie Kirk's memorial at TPUSA that women have forgotten the influence they hold over men, the power they have to shape the lives of the men that they love and to make sure they're on God's path,” he says.

Women, Glenn explains, bring out the best in men when they see and call out potential.

“You look at us as the man that, somewhere in all of us, we want to be. We will be that man. We will. Without nagging, without saying anything, you just see who we want to be and encourage us by … pointing to a ring and saying, 'That's my husband,'" he says.

Spouses encouraging each other, he says, is “rocket fuel.”

“You want to change your marriage? You tell your wife every day how proud you are that you're married to her. You tell your wife every day how amazing she is. It will transform her,” says Glenn.

“Women, you tell your husband how proud you are of him and what he does and what he accomplishes, how hard he works. You'll transform him.”

The culture, Glenn explains, is framing the latter as “trad” — internet slang for the traditional-wife trend that treats supporting a husband as a 1950s homemaker aesthetic of aprons, from-scratch dinners, and stay-at-home submission.

“It's not trad. … You don't have to wear an apron. [Taylor Swift] wasn't wearing an apron,” he says.

“Taylor Swift just set a massive example for women all over Earth … and millions of young women saw it.”

Glenn Beck reacts to LEAKED college professor emails saying THIS about Charlie Kirk



Nearly a year after Charlie Kirk's assassination on the campus of Utah Valley University, newly released emails are revealing the despicable way some faculty members viewed and spoke about Charlie in the aftermath of his death.

The records, obtained by Judicial Watch through Utah's public records law, include messages from individuals identified as university instructors and faculty members.

“Judicial Watch just pulled 133 pages out of their university under the open records law in Utah. And this is why I wanted to write an open letter to them. So here it is. Twelve days after Charlie Kirk was shot to death on your campus, an instructor wrote to your president that Charlie ‘appealed to the worst in people,’” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck says.

“That he spoke his prejudices openly, not to test free speech, but to shape minds,” he continues, noting that as a professor, he likely attempts to shape minds himself.


The professor also claimed that Charlie “preyed on the fears of impressionable kids” and spread the message “that hate is natural.”

“So the instructor concluded the university must resist any effort to memorialize him,” Glenn says.

Another faculty member wrote that he “could not understand how anyone could mourn a man who spewed such vituperation.”

He went on to say that he “regretted that Charlie had ever been invited and wished the school had reconsidered letting him speak there at all,” before warning that if the memorial for Charlie went up, “the university would lose faculty, starting with him.”

“So I got a couple of questions,” Glenn comments.

“What are the facts on any of your charges?” he asks. “Not the feeling, the facts. Can any of you show me one sentence where Charlie spewed hate? Give me the quote, the date, the clip, the whole context. Not the 11 seconds.”

“After all, you are scholars. You know the standard. You’d fail a sophomore if he came in and turned a paper in built the way you just built that letter,” he continues.

“But here’s what I think you’re going to find. When you go looking, you’re going to find he had a different opinion than you,” he adds. “Maybe, probably, but most of what you’re calling hate is opinion. And so is yours.”

Glenn points out that those who disagreed to the point of hatred with Charlie often believe that “men can be women, that there are a hundred different genders, that putting males in girls' sports empowers everybody, that it’s healthy to have men in the locker room with your daughter.”

“I could say you spew a lot of hate. I could build that case exactly the way you built yours: take your worst sentence, cut the context away, and name you,” he says. “Instead, I’ll say this. I strongly disagree with your opinion.”

And Charlie, Glenn says, “never hated anyone.”

“He believed in something and he said so, and he asked other people to do the same rationally, openly, calmly, with their names on it,” he continues. “Gosh, isn’t that what a university is for?”

America’s education system has a ‘new Trojan horse’ — and it’s conditioning kids to turn on their parents



The education of America’s youth is rapidly changing, as more and more parents recognize the failures of the public school system and take matters into their own hands.

“I think the odds that education is going to completely change in America over the next five to 10 years are very high, because we are seeing individuals want to take individual responsibility over raising their kids,” PragerU CEO Marissa Streit tells Glenn Beck.

Now that an abundance of high-quality alternatives are available, the days of relying on “the experts” for resources are over.

“I think what we call the educational industrial complex is going to now see a complete alternative economy. There's going to be a new economy in education that is created thanks to technology,” says Streit.

Glenn is thrilled to see the shift, because much of what public schools have been teaching he calls downright “hair-raising.”

After a “deep dive” into America’s education system, Streit says she found that the issues are well beyond “woke books,” critical race theory, and progressive teachers' unions.

“The new Trojan horse that I want to warn everybody against is ethnic studies,” she tells Glenn.

Streit says ethnic studies, which began in California, is now in about 26 states. She warns it “creates this paradigm of the oppressor versus the oppressed, rejecting the concept of individualism and the power of the individual and pushing collective grievance.”

To illustrate, she displays a book that is used and recommended in some ethnic-studies circles titled “Lessons in Liberation: An Abolitionist Toolkit for Educators.”

The resource was produced by the Education for Liberation Network — a radical “education for liberation” coalition — and Critical Resistance, a prison abolition group co-founded by communist Angela Davis and Ruth Wilson Gilmore.

While the book covers many subjects, the chapter Streit finds most offensive covers a concept called “adultism” — which frames adults as oppressors and children as the oppressed.

“Let's say you're an adult and you tell your daughter that she should probably restrain from having sexual intimacy with someone while she's still a child. When you do that, according to this lesson plan in this tool kit … you are a totalitarian oppressor because you should allow the child to make their own decision,” she explains.

“Let's say you tell your child to not dress a certain way because it's inappropriate. You're engaged in this pejorative adultism. The parent knows nothing. The government knows everything, and the government tells the child that they are their own sovereign selves,” Streit continues.

But the book doesn’t stop at villainizing the traditional parent-child relationship, she says; it also whitewashes gangs and terrorists.

“There's a chapter about how gangs and terrorists are really not that bad because it's their way to express themselves. Specifically they say that people of color need to express themselves through gangs,” says Streit.

She then holds up a 2025 Chicago Teachers Union May Day packet that she says “trains teachers” to prepare students for “communist May Day.” One prompt asks, “What hardships are people in your community facing since Donald Trump was re-elected in November?” Others have students discuss identifying and resisting fascism, tyranny, and authoritarianism.

Streit explains that these teacher resources are deliberately designed to be “the path of least resistance,” so that educators have easy, ready-to-teach materials that require virtually no effort on their part.

“Whether you're teaching K-2, 3rd-5th, or 6th grade and up, you have a file that will tell you exactly what to teach, and it will recommend books,” she explains.

Streit says she is often asked how any American publication company could possibly put such materials into print, but publishers are often part of the same pipeline as the unions creating the resources.

Scholastic, she says, is a crucial component of the circulation of materials centered around woke ideologies, including “critical race theory [and the] Reconquista movement — the idea that we stole the land from Mexico and therefore we have to allow people to reconquer it.”

She points to a 5th-grade Scholastic Gold title called “The Land of the Cranes,” which follows a girl whose family is held in ICE detention and treats crossing the border and resisting immigration enforcement as a righteous return to ancestral land.

It all boils down to “money and power,” says Streit.

“You have the teachers' unions and the NGOs creating tool kits. The tool kits guarantee the publishers that they will sell the books that are recommended in the tool kits. And so every year the publishers are going to make all this money as long as they keep up with the political agenda. ... The entire complex supports each other,” she says.
