From ‘arrogant atheist’ to Jesus follower: JD Vance opens up on faith journey in Glenn Beck interview



On June 16, Vice President JD Vance released his new book, "Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith.” It’s a memoir detailing his straying from the Christianity of his youth, his journey to atheism, and his return to faith through conversion to Catholicism in 2019.

In a recent exclusive interview with Glenn Beck, Vance opened up about his faith journey.

“Can you talk a little bit about the moment you chose to commit [to faith]?” Glenn begins.

In the summer of 2018, Vance visited a Catholic cathedral. At this time, he was “curious about Christianity” but “wasn’t yet ready to commit.”

“It was completely empty, and I felt this kind of sense of despair. ... There was nobody praying. It felt almost lifeless. And then there was just this beautiful sort of ray of light that came through the stained glass windows,” he recounts.

Vance recalls how at that time, the Catholic church was under fire for a massive scandal in Pennsylvania, where a grand jury report exposed credible allegations of child sexual abuse by over 300 priests across six dioceses, harming more than 1,000 victims over decades, along with systematic cover-ups by church officials.

“I felt this sense that, you know, yes, the church is going through a tough spot, but things are going to be OK, and I belong here,” he says.

“And that was sort of the moment that I decided, you know what, for all of my belly aching and back and forth ... this is my home, and I'm going to try to make this home as successful as possible and contribute as much as I can, and that's what I did.”

“That seems like a commitment to the church. Is that the same as the moment to follow Christ? Did that come first and then the commitment to the church or are they the same thing to you?” Glenn asks.

Unlike the moment in the cathedral that led Vance to commit to the Catholic church, the decision to follow Jesus was more “gradual.”

“I was raised in sort of an un-churched but very devout household. My grandmother would take us to church every now and then, but not regularly ... and so I became as a teenager, sort of an early 20s kid ... an arrogant atheist,” he explains.

“I went about trying to achieve every marker of worldly success. You know, I wanted to go to the best schools, and I wanted to have the best job. I wanted to make the most money. I wanted something prestigious to hang my hat on, and I kind of got to this point where I had won all of these elite competitions,” he continues, highlighting his time at Yale Law School.

But despite the worldly success, an emptiness haunted him.

“I was kind of looking around and saying, you know what, those people that I dismissed as simpletons, they're much happier and much healthier and much more interesting people than the elite crew that I seem to be joining,” Vance tells Glenn.

He began to wonder if the "character" and “wisdom” they exhibited came from “this Jesus Christ figure that [he’d] kind of discarded.”

“And so [following Christ] was not like a conversion on the road to Damascus. That was me slowly seeing reflections of Christian truth in the way that various Christians lived their lives and the way that they raised their families, and over time, I just started to think, you know what, there's something real here,” he shares.

Christ, he decided, was not only something he wanted for himself but for his family too.

“I wanted to give my family what I didn't have as a kid, which is a real formation, like an actual church community,” he says, “and I kind of, you know, experimented with different churches and went to a number of different places and eventually, you know, found a home in a church that we love, and that's kind of where we are today.”

Glenn Beck EXPOSES the economic stats used to destroy your hope



If you only read the headlines, you’d think the American dream is officially out of reach. Starter homes cost more than $1 million. Summer electric bills are approaching $800. Families are struggling to keep up.

But Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck argues that the story being sold to Americans is incomplete.

“As of today, there are 242 cities in this country where the typical starter home, the first rung, the one that’s supposed to be for the beginners, costs a million or more dollars,” Glenn explains.

“By the way, before the pandemic, that number was not 242. It was 80. So in five years, it nearly tripled,” he adds.

California has the most cities with these high-priced “starter” homes, while New York and New Jersey aren’t far behind.


But it’s not just housing costs that are up — utilities are too.

“Americans are projected to spend almost $800 on electricity just getting through this summer, June through September. That’s up more than 10% from last year,” Glenn says.

“Now, the pros at the National Energy Assistance Directors Association will tell you it’s a stack of things all landing at once — hotter summers, more air conditioning, an aging grid that needs hundreds of billions in upgrades, the new AI data centers that everybody loves to point at, and inflation,” he explains.

“Monthly bills are up 23% since 2019. And right now, 1 in 6 Americans, 1 in 6 households, is behind on the utility bill. Arizona is getting hit the hardest. Then it’s Connecticut, Washington state. North Dakota has it the easiest,” he continues.

However, Glenn points out that these are just headlines — and as per usual, the mainstream media is not telling the whole story.

“If you lose the truth, the next thing you lose is hope. ... A lot of Americans have lost both. So, let me give you the truth under the headline because the truth is where you’re going to find hope,” Glenn says.

“Let’s start with a million-dollar house. That number is real. It’s not your number. Because buried in the same report is the figure that nobody put in the story or the headline: The typical starter home in America is worth 198,649,” he continues.

“Now, that is still a lot of money, but it’s not $1 million. It’s under $200,000. Those 242 terrifying cities are all clustered where? On the expensive coastlines,” he adds.

As for the electricity bill, Glenn says, “if you are one of the 1 in 6, the why is not warming or cooling your house. Knowing the AI data centers are only part of the problem doesn’t lower the number on that envelope that you’re avoiding now because you can’t pay it.”

He points out that “every bit of wire” in our electric grid “was built by a past generation.”

“The same generation, one generation, electrified a continent that had been dark since the beginning of time. One generation. Abundance was a choice that we made. ... And that means we can make that choice again,” he says.

“You’re not in checkmate. You’re not. You’re being told in stories like this about averages,” he continues, adding, “and you don’t live in an average.”

New California program demands proof of gayness for $633M in contracts — but a far darker reality lies beneath the hypocrisy



On June 16, independent journalist and BlazeTV host Christopher Rufo published a detailed exposé on California’s “gay certification program” in City Journal. The report blew the lid off the progressive state’s initiative to pressure utility companies into awarding $633 million in contracts to businesses officially certified as LGBT-owned — complete with a bizarre state-run process requiring proof of sexual orientation.

To qualify, business owners must submit documents such as same-sex marriage licenses, letters from LGBT organizations, or even affidavits from personal contacts attesting to their sexual orientation, with stiff penalties including up to a year in jail for false claims.

Glenn Beck was astounded by the news.

“It’s insane,” he says.

The California bureaucrats hired to vet the applicants use a “gay certification checklist,” says Glenn’s chief researcher and writer Jason Buttrill.

“One of the checklist items is three letters of reference from personal contacts ... who have known ... for over one year and can vouch to the status of the individual's gayness,” he laughs.

Glenn can’t help but laugh at what these types of conversations entail. “I mean what are the questions?” he chuckles.

Buttrill adds that another requirement is “one letter from a recognized LGBT organization attesting to the gay status and signed by the organization leader.”

“Now, you have to go not to a friend but to a sanctioned gay organization, so now they've given that gay organization power,” says Glenn. “Wow is that bad.”

Perhaps the strangest item on the checklist is “proof of media coverage, including publications, newspapers, or articles explicitly stating the LGBT status of the owners of the business.”

“You have to be kind of an activist. I mean, because if you're just a quiet gay couple and you own a restaurant, you know, I guess that's not good enough. You have to be out in the media, literally out in the media, declaring your gayness,” scoffs Glenn.

Another prerequisite is “a copy of valid municipal or state license, certificate of marriage, civil union, or domestic partnership,” adds Buttrill.

“You don't need a license or any kind of identification to vote, but if you want to work as a gay person with the state, we have to have all kinds of ID — but gay ID,” laughs Glenn, calling it “ridiculous.”

“I would think the California gay community would be outraged over this. I wouldn't think that they would want some kind of official list with some kind of certification program with their names,” says Buttrill.

Glenn agrees, highlighting how potentially dangerous such a list could be.

“I mean if things, God forbid, ever went horribly wrong — the Islamists or some crazy religious whatever or just somebody who ... just doesn't like gay people [gets in power], you want a list of people that are gay?” he asks.

“People are so blind and so stupid. ... Well, good luck with that, California.”

The utopia trap: Glenn Beck warns America is living this disturbing experiment that ENDS in extinction



What happens when every problem disappears? In one of the most unsettling social experiments ever conducted, scientist John Calhoun created a perfect paradise for mice — complete with unlimited food, safety, and comfort.

“1968, a scientist comes out, and he’s decided he’s going to make utopia, not for people, but for mice and rats. OK? His name was John Calhoun. He worked at the National Institute of Mental Health, and he wanted to answer the question that I think should interest all of us,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck explains.

That question is, “What happens with a society when every problem is removed?”

“So he builds this paradise. It’s a mouse world. Unlimited food, water that never runs out, no predators, no disease, perfect temperature, endless nesting material. Every danger, every want, every stressor that a mouse has ever faced in the history of mice — completely gone. The only thing he gives them, besides protection, was each other and time,” Glenn says.


Calhoun put four male and four female mice into the experiment, and “at first, it’s mouse heaven.”

“They breed. The population doubled about every 55 days,” Glenn explains. “And he called this the strive period. It was heaven, and it was working exactly as designed. But by day 300 or 315, something like that, there were more than 600 mice thriving in a space that he had built to hold nearly 4,000.”

“That’s the peak. Something starts to go horribly wrong. Growth slows for no physical reason. They can’t figure it out. All of a sudden. And in all 25 experiments, exactly the same thing,” he says.

“There’s no role left for a mouse to fill. And a creature with no role, no struggle, no purpose, starts to come apart. The males who had nothing to fight for either turned violent or vanished into apathy,” he continues. “Let me ask you something. What’s happening in our society right now?”

Glenn points to the young men growing up who have nothing to fight for, explaining that they’ve also turned violent and apathetic.

“Then you have the moms. The mothers stopped mothering. They abandoned their young. They began attacking their young. They forgot about their children. The whole intricate social order that made a mouse a mouse completely dissolved in 25 identical experiments 25 times,” he explains.

“Then came the most haunting part of the experiment, I think. There’s a new kind of mouse that appears. This mouse didn’t fight. They didn’t court. They didn’t mate. They didn’t compete. They wouldn’t engage with others at all,” he says.

These mice were called “the beautiful ones” because they spent all their time grooming themselves instead of foraging or fighting.

And with their emergence, the population began to decline.

“On day 600, in a world still overflowing with food, the last baby is born,” Glenn says. “Day 600. After that, nothing. Not one mouse, not ever. And on day 920, the last mice, the last of the mice dies in paradise.”

“And Universe 25 becomes the 25th tomb,” he adds.

'A murder every 7 to 10 days': South African farmer tells Glenn Beck the horrors white farmers are facing



For years, South Africa has been marketed to the world as a post-apartheid "rainbow nation." But according to South African farmer Jason Bartlett, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

“The South African government really has an actual war room that they are creating to try to spread misinformation and hide that South Africa is in turmoil. It’s anarchy. It’s not the rainbow nation. It is one of the most hateful nations towards minorities, including myself,” Bartlett tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck.

“There’s 146 race laws. That’s why Elon Musk can’t get Starlink over there. And with the farm murders, there is more than 180 farm attacks every year. Dozens and dozens of murders. There’s approximately a murder every seven to 10 days,” he explains.

But these murders, Bartlett says, aren’t “just normal murders.”


“It’s torture. It’s where a 12-year-old gets boiled alive in a bath, or they cut your Achilles off while they tie you to a chair, and they make you watch them rape 10 people, rape your 5-year-old daughter,” he says.

“Things that are barbaric and inhumane, and I’m sorry that I have to be so abrupt, but like I told the Trump administration, I’m going to be raw,” he adds.

Bartlett tells Glenn that he’s seeking asylum in the United States because after he left South Africa, his cousin was having a cookout.

“I always went to go visit them, and eight black men broke in, and it was deemed a ‘normal’ break-in, and they shot him through the back of the head. The bullet came out the front of his face. They then threw him in the fire, burnt him with a grid, and urinated on him while they sang, ‘Die white bastard,’” he says.

“And his little girls had to witness this. And he doesn’t get a news article. It doesn’t get anything,” he continues. “I have got a cousin who was kidnapped and put into the trunk of his vehicle and driven around for hours and then beaten and thrown up. My other cousins have been hijacked."

Even Bartlett himself has been attacked, as he tells Glenn that there’s “been two attempts on [his] life.”

“They don’t look at what you’ve got," he says, adding, "They look at what you look like, and they attack."

Glenn Beck: Tulsi Gabbard exposes foreign bio lab documents and the deep state is in PANIC



For years, discussion of the U.S.-funded biological laboratories in Ukraine was dismissed by critics as little more than a Russian talking point.

Now, newly declassified documents released by Tulsi Gabbard confirm it's real — but that’s not stopping establishment voices from calling her a propagandist.

“Tulsi comes out, what was it, Friday, and she releases, she declassifies slides of these documents about U.S.-funded bio labs in Ukraine and beyond. Over 40 labs, hundreds of millions, dangerous pathogens, anthrax, plague, ebola,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck explains.

“And now it’s a Russian conspiracy theory that those exist,” he says.


“Does it make common sense to you if we have anthrax and ebola sitting in a laboratory in Ukraine that is currently at war with Russia? Do you think it’s a good idea or should we just go take a flamethrower and burn all of those dangerous pathogens out of those buildings?” he asks.

“Why do we have them sitting there in these bio labs that are in a war zone? Now, look at the loudest people shouting about this. The ones who are saying, 'You know, she’s a conspiracy theorist,’” he continues, pointing out that these people include “embedded Ukraine correspondents, strong advocates to send more money to Ukraine in Congress, and defense analysts that are tied to the status quo.”

These, Glenn says, are “the same people clutching their pearls over the new DNI chief. They don’t like what she did with Ukraine.”

“They’re framing this whole thing as Kremlin propaganda,” he explains. “Like Tulsi Gabbard is now working for the Kremlin. Have you ever noticed when outsiders get close to auditing foreign entanglements, surveillance powers, risky overseas labs, the defenses go nuclear?”

“All of a sudden, it’s got to be stopped. It’s the worst problem ever. They just go crazy. To me, it feels like fear of exposure,” he continues, adding, “And maybe not all of them, but somewhere, somebody in that web is applying enormous pressure.”

Is Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day’ priming us for real disclosure? Glenn Beck drops his chilling take after opening night



Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated alien movie “Disclosure Day” hit theaters last Friday. In the weeks leading up to its premiere, a circulating theory — fueled by the government’s ongoing UFO file declassifications — suggested Spielberg collaborated with the government to prepare the public for real alien disclosure.

Glenn Beck saw it on opening night, and he says it’s definitely “worth seeing.”

But could it actually be predictive programming?

On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn shares his raw thoughts on what “Disclosure Day” really means.

Glenn isn’t ready to dismiss the theory that “Disclosure Day” is predictive programming — entertainment designed to plant ideas so that future real-world events feel familiar and less shocking.

“The Department of War and the CIA have had an official entertainment liaison office for decades,” he says.

“They are brought in to help shape stories, and it's not a shadowy conspiracy ... [Hollywood is] given jets and bases and technical advisers for their movies, and in exchange, they shape the stories for the government, and this is documented policy.”

However, there’s another framework worth considering: George Gerbner’s cultivation theory.

Gerbner’s theory argues that long-term, heavy exposure to media gradually "cultivates" or shapes people's perceptions of reality, making them believe the world is more like what they see on screen than it actually is.

Glenn points out that heavy media consumption is one of the modern era’s defining characteristics, as people are “scrolling and staring and consuming media” essentially “eight hours every day.”

“[Gerbner’s] research shows that heavy viewers develop mean world syndrome where everything is a danger. They overestimate the danger, crime, threats. They become more fearful, more dependent, and more open to strong-man measures,” he explains.

What if “Disclosure Day” isn’t preparing us for real aliens but rather attempting to scare people into submitting to future government mandates?

The most critical question, Glenn insists, is: “Who profits from the fear?”

“We've been seeing a steady drum beat of disclosure that is happening. I don't know what's real and what's not,” Glenn confesses.

But he does know one thing: “A government who has been denying [aliens] for decades suddenly decides to open the door?”

“Why? And who profits from fear?” he asks.

Glenn Beck presses JD Vance on Iran deal: ‘No support for proxies, end of the missile program, AND no nukes?’



The United States and Iran announced a preliminary framework agreement intended to end the recent war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and lift the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. The agreement reportedly includes a 60-day ceasefire period for negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. A formal signing ceremony is scheduled for June 19 in Geneva, Switzerland.

Critics and analysts across the political spectrum, however, have expressed skepticism because many key provisions remain undisclosed. Israeli officials and other observers have raised concerns that unresolved issues — including Iran's regional proxy networks and the specifics of future nuclear restrictions — have been left for later negotiations.

To get clarity on these matters, Glenn Beck spoke with none other than Vice President JD Vance.

Glenn begins with several frank questions: “How do you negotiate with an apocalyptic, end-times-twelver regime, and what makes you confident that we can, as the president has said on the outset, get no support for proxies, end of the missile program, and no nukes? Do we have those, and how do you lock them in with — to be honest — crazy people that think they’re living in the end times?”

“One of the most important lessons that [Trump] has given me in international negotiation or anything is you don’t trust anybody,” says Vance.

“I don’t trust the words; I don’t trust the commitments, though they have committed to stop funding terrorism and to stop building or buying a nuclear weapon. Those commitments are there, but I trust people’s actions,” he adds.

This philosophy, he claims, underpins the entire peace deal.

“The way that we set up that deal, given the president’s directives, is if they perform the things that they say they’re going to perform, then they get a lot of relief, and if they don’t perform any of those things, then they get nothing,” says Vance, claiming that regardless of how Iran reacts, the United States is still in “a great position.”

“We got the Strait of Hormuz open; oil is now down below $80 today. We have their military still destroyed, their defense industrial base still destroyed, their nuclear program still destroyed,” he declares.

If Iran “[behaves] like a normal country,” the United States will treat it “like a normal country,” he adds, and if it doesn’t, Iran will suffer while the U.S. remains strong.

“The United States still has all the cards, and there’s no skin off our back for entering into this negotiation,” says Vance.

Glenn reiterates his initial question: “And no support for proxies, end of the missile program, and no nukes for sure?”

“Correct, Glenn, and if they don’t do that, they don’t get any of the benefits of the bargain,” Vance confirms.

But as a Christian, Glenn can’t help but wonder about the fate of the Iranian people.

“It is hard to watch a regime slaughter its own people who are — just to use an American term — ‘yearning to breathe free.’ We hoped that we would be able to have, you know, a free people in Iran by the end of this. It doesn’t look like that is part of the plan at all. Can that be done without ... regime change?” he asks.

“We’ve given the Iranian people an opportunity here. [Iran’s] military is substantially weaker. I mean it’s effectively gone. … If the Iranian people want to rise up and make, you know, their own country or make their own political future, then obviously the president of the United States would be happy to deal with whatever new government they produce, but we’re not going to force that on anybody,” Vance explains.

“We will empower people on the ground who yearn to breathe free, but we’re not going to force them to ... elect their own government. What we’re going to do is pursue our best interests,” he continues.

The U.S., Vance says, entered this war with Iran with clear goals: to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to allow it a “conventional military” that could not “threaten its allies in the region.”

“And that’s what we got,” he states.

Glenn Beck: California’s election system isn’t broken — it’s deliberately 'rigged'



Former Fox News host Steve Hilton is running for governor of California, and while hopeful, he's well aware that the election system is rigged.

“There’s a line in the law that says that actually, the proof that you mailed your ballot on or just before Election Day — even if it arrives after Election Day — it’s not just the postmark. You can write it. You can handwrite the date,” Hilton said on “Hot Mics with Billy Bush.”

“I had a whistleblower from the postal service explaining this. So just to be really clear what that means: You can backdate your ballot by hand and it will be counted. That’s how insane this system is,” he added.

“You say ‘fraud’s happening, fraud’s happening,'" Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck comments, “No. A lot of it is legal. They have rigged the system.”


“They have made it so nobody’s breaking any laws. Nobody’s going to go to jail. It’s all part of the system,” he adds.

And Jason Buttrill agrees, noting that an election insider he has spoken to has explained how they do this and why it requires “many days of voting.”

“They can see the Election Day turnout, determine the deficit, and immediately go out and find all the votes they need,” Buttrill tells Glenn.

“Now, this is exactly what we’ve been thinking about, but we’ve been calling it fraud,” he says.

“Now here’s the kicker. This is all perfectly legal in blue states because of blue-state laws. … The thing that we really need to be focusing on here is the laws that are disenfranchising millions of voters in many of these states where they have just atrocious election laws,” he adds.

3 years in JAIL for questioning the election? Gavin Newsom’s silencing bill EXPOSED.



As election integrity debates continue to rage across California, Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck believes state leaders are making a dangerous mistake: treating skepticism as a threat instead of addressing the concerns behind it.

“What’s happening in California is dangerous, and ... if you can be reasonable and you can listen without the lens of your tribe, there is a way to an answer here. But nobody seems, especially on the left, nobody seems to want to actually fix the problem,” Glenn says.

“And so what do they want to do? They want to shut you up,” he adds, explaining that Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill that “said fines and jail time [for] three years if you are interfering with the election.”

“This particular penalty is aimed at people who physically walk off with boxes of ballots,” Glenn explains. “Listen to the language around it.”


“The governor wrote a letter telling his officials to ‘count fast’ so the ‘election lies’ don’t take hold. Stop and think about that for a second. Wait a minute. The chief executive of the largest state in the union has appointed himself the man who decides which doubts are lies,” he says.

“And in the same season, his allies pass a provision that tells election observers they may no longer challenge the signatures on the ballot they’re watching get counted. So, they didn’t criminalize your doubt. They did something quieter,” he continues. “They turned down the lights in the room where the counting happens. And you’re told it’s a conspiracy theory to ask, ‘Why did it get so dark?’”

Glenn explains that a glaring issue with this is that the government cannot ever “be the arbiter of truth.”

“Especially when the question on the table is about the government itself. You cannot let the accused run the evidence room,” he says.

“You’re accusing California of having fraud, and what do they do? They say, ‘No, we’re in charge.’ Right? You’re the one that everybody’s saying is causing the fraud, and they’re saying, ‘No, you can’t question because there’s no fraud,’” he continues. “That doesn’t help anything.”

“This is not a conservative idea or a liberal idea. It’s just how you keep a free people free,” he adds.
