Is it time to prepare for civil war? Glenn Beck's answer might surprise you …



As the gap between the right and left continues to widen, whispers that we’re on the verge of civil war are rumbling across the nation. Some people are even wondering if they should start preparing.

Is this wisdom or folly?

Glenn Beck’s answer: Both.

“We must win the midterms, and we must win 2028,” Glenn emphasizes.

President Trump designating Antifa as a terrorist organization and vowing to investigate and potentially prosecute George Soros via his Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, and other nonprofits for allegedly funding Antifa and related left-wing violence is a public declaration of war.

“When they have the opportunity to punch back, they are going to punch back. God help us,” Glenn says ominously.

He warns that if Trump doesn’t completely “wipe [the Antifa network] out,” retribution will rain like fire when the political tides turn.

In other words, civil war won’t look like citizens fighting in the streets; it’ll be warfare at the administrative level.

In some ways, it’s already happening. “They are blocking the feds from actually doing constitutionally what they're supposed to do,” says Glenn. “And that then triggers the Constitution on an insurrection, which would mean the government then has the right and the power to go into those states and put down an insurrection.”

The fact that we’re even having to ponder the possibility of a civil war means that we’re close to one, he says frankly. “The likelihood of going into a civil war is higher than any other time in my lifetime because we're all asking that question of is this going to lead to a civil war?”

The fact that Democrat officials are “using police to go against federal police” is a sign things are headed in the wrong direction.

Glenn estimates that the chances of civil war breaking out are sitting at about 15%-20% right now. “We now have proof that they are doing a color revolution here in America,” he says.

Meanwhile, X is saturated with posts encouraging people to riot and loot if SNAP benefits run out in the midst of the government shutdown.

“The perception here for a lot of people on the left is: The only way to solve [problems] is through violence,” says Glenn.

“That number is growing, and the apathy toward political violence is growing probably faster than the actual people that would commit the violence,” he adds.

But even if all of this does point to imminent civil war, Glenn urges his listeners to hope and pray against it.

“They're dead serious about color revolution. ... We have to go the opposite direction and try at all costs to hold things together, keep people peaceful as long as possible, to hopefully turn this corner because a corner is being turned,” he warns.

Glenn Beck took the NEW American citizenship test. Was it as HARD as they say?



The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has rolled out a new citizenship test that is now being criticized as too difficult for immigrants to pass — with some saying the difficulty may deter those looking for legal citizenship.

Applicants will be asked 20 questions out of a pool of 128 questions and must get 12 correct to pass.

The Washington Post compiled a 10-question quiz based on the newly revamped test, and Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck decided to test it out.

“Who wrote the Declaration of Independence,” the first question reads, with a multiple choice set of potential answers including "A) Benjamin Franklin, B) John Adams, C) Thomas Jefferson," and "D) George Washington."


“It’s multiple choice?” Glenn asks, shocked, before answering firmly, “Thomas Jefferson.”

The second question is “Name a power that is only for the federal government,” which Glenn again gets right. The answers provided were “A) Print paper money, B) Declare war, C) Make treaties, or D) All of the above.” The answer was D).

The third question is “What amendment says all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are U.S. citizens,” which Glenn also gets correct as the 14th Amendment.

The rest of the questions — “The American Revolution had many important events, name one”; “Why were 'The Federalist Papers' important?”; “James Madison is famous for many things, name one”; “When did all women get the right to vote?”; “Why did the United States enter the Persian Gulf War?”; “Name one example of an American innovation”; and “What is Memorial Day?” — were fairly simple, though a couple of them had Glenn and BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere slightly stumped.

“When did all women get the right to vote” had two answers in the multiple choice that Stu admits he had to guess on, as their right to vote was voted on in 1919 but wasn’t passed until 1920.

“This is a trick question,” Glenn says. “Cause I think the vote happened in 1919 or at least it started ... but I think it finalized in 1920.”

“I would’ve guessed 1920, but I will be honest with you, total guess,” Stu agrees, guessing right.

“This is the type of thing, like what does this have to do with citizenship?” he asks.

“Why are the dates the important thing? It’s the story. It’s what’s behind the story. The range of dates in a 12-year period to me makes no difference,” he adds.

MIT professor’s 4 critical steps to stop AI from hijacking humanity



Artificial superintelligence is still a hypothetical, but we’re inching closer every day. What happens when we finally create a digital beast that vastly surpasses human intellect in all domains?

MIT physics professor Max Tegmark warns that if that day comes, we’ll be in deeper trouble than we can imagine.

Despite the evident dangers and widespread hesitation, people like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, a leading figure in the AI boom, are determined to see it happen at any cost.

“Sam Alman believes he’s creating God. ... There’s a lot of people in Silicon Valley that want to meet God of their creation,” says Glenn Beck, who’s been warning for years about the dangers of an artificial intelligence takeover.

Tegmark is equally disturbed by Altman’s dystopian tech dreams, which go even beyond creating artificial superintelligence. In his 2017 essay "The Merge," Altman describes the fusing of man and machine as a necessary step to keep up with superhuman AI. He even suggests that we will be able to “design our own descendants.”

Most people, however, want nothing to do with this transhumanist, cyborg future, but it’s looking like Altman and other tech billionaires are set on pushing humanity in that direction anyway.

“So how do you stop it?” Glenn asks.

On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Tegmark outlined four ways we can push back against the AI revolution.

1. Reject the ‘inevitable’ AI myth

“Lobbyists from these companies keep trying to convince us that it's unstoppable,” Tegmark says. “That's the number one psy-op trick in the book.”

Just because a technological advancement is possible doesn’t mean it will come to fruition, he explains. He gives the example of human cloning, which is technically feasible today but not practiced due to ethical, legal, and practical obstacles.

“The consensus around the world was we could lose control over our species if we start messing with ourselves in that way, and it became so stigmatized it just didn’t happen,” he says. There’s a chance ASI and cyborgs will be viewed similarly — technically possible but too risky to try, especially if people at large start rejecting the notion that these advancements are inevitable.

2. Control > chaos

Some will argue that the United States has to trudge forward in the AI race because we’re competing against China, but Tegmark reminds that ASI is a “suicide race” because once we reach superintelligence heights, humans will become slaves to a digital master.

But China values only one thing more than technological dominance: control.

The United States, finally back on top as a global superpower thanks to President Trump, isn’t interested in losing control either. “The way the U.S. or China will compete for dominance is not by doing something that’s going to take away the power from both countries,” Tegmark says.

3. Call for government regulations

Glenn is still concerned about people like Sam Altman, who have unlimited money and resources, continuing to push AI to new heights, but Tegmark says they’re biding their time as unrestricted tech pioneers.

“Once upon a time, there were no regulations on biotech. They could sell any medicine they wanted in the supermarket, and sometimes this caused tragedies,” Tegmark says.

He points to the 1950s and ’60s sedative thalidomide, which was prescribed to pregnant women to treat morning sickness. The medication proved so harmful — over 100,000 severe birth defects — that the drug was not only banned, but the government began regulating the biotech industry as a whole to prevent future devastations.

“We’ve done the same thing with every other industry,” Tegmark says.

“So saying that AI companies should be the only companies in America that don’t have to meet any safety standards is really just asking for corporate welfare for AI companies,” he adds.

4. Amplify the public voice

Many people don’t voice their opposition to the AI race because they think either they’re powerless to stop it or that they’ll be condemned as Luddites. But Tegmark says neither is true.

“Less than 5% of Americans actually want a race to superintelligence,” he says.

And now our voices can be heard. Through his Future of Life Institute, Tegmark has created a petition aimed at holding AI developers accountable for the risks of advanced AI. Many high-profile people from both sides of the political spectrum have already signed it, including Glenn.

I urge you to sign this,” Glenn says.

“This is the end of humanity if we lose control of our technology,” he adds.

Living through the screen: Black Rifle Coffee co-founder warns smartphones are destroying minds and memories



Over the past decade, smartphones have taken over the lives of people across the world. People no longer work, play, or even leave the house without them — and at this point, many essentially live through them.

And the consequences, Richard Ryan, co-founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company, says, may be disastrous in more ways than one.

Those who live through their phones, often as content creators, base their worth off of the feedback from others through some distant screen. But your worth is then contingent on whether or not the platform you use to post agrees with your content.

“You’re getting hundreds of millions of views, and then all of a sudden a social platform, because they disagree with you on the type of content you create, turns that off,” Ryan tells BlazeTV host Nicole Shanahan on "Back to the People."


“Your distribution is completely shut off and then all of a sudden your self-worth feels like, ‘Oh, OK,’ and you take this kind of psychological hit,” he says, noting that the youth largely makes up the content-creating portion of the population.

“I think about how many younger people work on creating content for these platforms, and there’s something to be said for when you have a large audience and you lose it in any capacity. You’re trying to chase the dragon in that it’s kind of tragic and when that social capital goes away,” he explains.

“Yeah, you hear of these really sad stories of social media TikTokers that have serious mental health issues. Some commit suicide, and they’re very young. And if you think about how much of their lives they’ve spent creating content,” Shanahan agrees solemnly.

And it’s not just that their content is subject to censorship or criticism that can prove dangerous to their psyche, but “being present in the moment.”

“You look at how many people have their phones out at every aspect of their life to record this thing,” Ryan says, noting that there “are a few studies” that broke down the way the brain stores memories.

“The event of you recording something, your brain is logging it as the phone recording the thing, not the thing itself,” he says.

“So say you’re watching fireworks or whatever, which nobody ever rewatches their Fourth of July fireworks videos after they share them to social media, but your brain’s logging it as remembering recording the fireworks and not the fireworks themselves,” he explains.

An example he uses is driving to work via the same route every single day, which your brain will not separate into different experiences unless there is variability in your commute.

“It’s the same thing with your lived experience. If your phone is always the focus of this thing, you’re kind of losing the long-term effects of storing that memory,” he says, noting that the end result could spell disaster.

“The downstream effects I think we’ll find that a lot of this will have some type of implications for memory or cognitive decline, definitely emotional atrophy and different neurological processes for sure,” he says.

DHS report exposes FEMA blacklist: Conservative disaster victims denied aid under Biden administration



According to the DHS Privacy Office report, the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Biden administration did not just mishandle a few cases — they secretly blacklisted conservatives and lowered their priority when it came to assistance.

“They tracked Americans, their political and religious beliefs, during disasters — not in theory, in black and white,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck says on “The Glenn Beck Program.”

“When these people were flooded, they were homeless, they were desperate, and asked for help from the same government that preaches compassion and equity, they got something entirely different. They got silence, delay, and sometimes nothing at all,” he continues.

According to the DHS report, “FEMA violated the Privacy Act of 1974 by collecting and storing data tied to protected speech.”


“They were checking bumper stickers and writing you down in a book. They logged gun signage 72 times, Trump 15 times, firearms 5 times, Biden twice,” Glenn says.

“Now it has been proven. FEMA workers skipped homes if you had a MAGA flag or a yard sign. And then they left notes,” he continues, quoting one of the workers’ notes: “‘There was a political flyer ... so I didn’t leave a FEMA brochure.’”

Another quote from their notes reads: “‘We don’t recommend anyone visit this location.’”

“That’s not a clerical error here. That’s a blacklist. This is the same agency that airlifts people off of rooftops after hurricanes, that distributes food and shelter when nothing else works. And they were told to avoid Americans because of who they voted for. Not terrorists, not criminals, citizens,” Glenn says.

“I will tell you,” he continues, “I have been in disaster after disaster. ... I have shown up at the hurricanes and the floods and the tornadoes with help. And not once did it even occur to me to ask you, ‘What’s your political affiliation?'"

Antifa supporters say it's ‘just like’ the Boston Tea Party. Here's the TRUTH ...



Antifa defenders have claimed that they are simply standing up to tyranny, much like the Boston Tea Party patriots — but a quick journey back through time tells a much different story.

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck uses the image of the skull and crossbones with a crown that floats above the head of the skull to illustrate the major difference between the No Kings protesters and America's brave founders.

“This comes from colonial days when they would say ‘no kings.’ But they followed that with ‘no kings but Christ.’ Meaning the only king they serve is Christ,” Glenn says, explaining that the meaning of the skull and crossbones is that the “leaders of the country are mortal.”

“They die. They turn to dust. But the crown of Christ doesn’t,” he adds.


This is what changed everything in America, because initially, kings were considered to be appointed by God.

“So when you say ‘no kings,’ what exactly do you mean?” he asks.

“They’ll tell you a democracy, but a democracy gives you kings. It gives you dictators. It gives you authoritarians. We know this because that’s why the founders wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution the way they did,” he explains.

“Now, let me tell you the difference between our founders and Antifa, because you know our kids are being taught that what happened in the Boston Harbor in 1773 with the Boston Tea Party was the same that Antifa is doing,” Glenn says.

Rather than a crew of “faceless anarchists,” those boarding three ships under the cover of night were farmers, shopkeepers, and artisans.

“They’re husbands, they’re fathers, they’re Sons of Liberty, and they’re not out to burn their own neighborhoods. In fact, they’re not out to burn the ships themselves. What they want to do is make a statement against the king that had refused to listen to them,” Glenn explains.

“And so their protest is very targeted, very deliberate, and very symbolic,” he says, noting that it was also “completely non-violent.”

“No looting, no torched businesses, no innocent citizens bloodied in the streets. Property was destroyed, yes, but the destruction was purposeful, singular, squarely at the political grievance of taxation without representation,” Glenn says.

“And nobody lost anything except for the insurance companies,” he adds.

Glenn Beck exposes the specific billionaires who funded the No Kings protests



Last weekend, thousands of people across the United States gathered to march under the banner of No Kings — a slogan coined to capture progressives’ resistance to the so-called authoritarian tendencies in President Donald Trump's second administration.

One major issue for No Kings protesters as well as politicians who joined the events, like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), is the influence of billionaires, particularly in politics and media, which is why they criticize figures like Elon Musk.

But there’s an irony to their complaints.

“If this movement is truly against billionaires and the powerful, why is it funded by billionaires and the powerful?” asks Glenn Beck.

The No Kings movement was intentionally orchestrated to look like grassroots resistance, but the deeper you dive into its inner workings, the more it becomes clear: “This isn't a rebellion. This is strategy,” says Glenn. “This is not grassroots. This is astroturf.”

If the movement was really about keeping kings out of America, then these same marchers would have taken serious issue with Joe Biden, who forced an experimental vaccine on the American people under the threat of job loss and hospital restrictions.

“You would think no kings would mean all of that was wrong, but it doesn't. This is not about dismantling power. This is about rearranging power,” Glenn reiterates.

Those powerful billionaires who protesters claim to oppose were the very people who designed and funded this entire movement.

Reports from multiple media outlets, including Fox News and Breitbart News’ Peter Schweizer, George Soros via his Open Society Action Fund granted $3 million to Indivisible — a progressive nonprofit founded in 2016 for the sole purpose of resisting Trump policies — to help orchestrate the No Kings protests.

“But it goes on. Soros' larger network, the Open Society Foundation, gave over $7.6 million to the same operation. So now we're almost at $11 million,” says Glenn.

But Soros is just where the funding trail begins. Follow the money, and it will lead you to the Arabella Advisors Network — “a billion-dollar-a-year dark money empire that launders donations from the uber wealthy donors to grassroots activism.”

Keep going down the trail and you’ll find that the Bill Gates Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and Rockefeller Foundation all provided significant funding to networks supporting the No Kings protests.

But it keeps going. The Tides Foundation also made significant contributions, as did Neville Roy Singham, a U.S.-born billionaire with ties to the Chinese Communist Party who’s known for funding radical leftist groups.

“You have a small club of financial elites that are bankrolling what investigative journalist Peter Schweizer calls ‘Riot Inc.,”’ says Glenn.

“It is the permanent protest industrial complex. This is not just conjecture; this is not opinion. This is now documented fact,” he adds.

IRS filings, annual reports, and public statements all paint the same picture: “Billionaires are funding the outrage machine.”

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."

Tech expert gives step-by-step guide to fight addictive algorithms, rediscover joy



A social media algorithm is an incredibly powerful tool. With a slight tweak in coding, Big Tech executives can control what content the public sees or doesn’t see. China via TikTok has had enormous success pumping specific ideologies — most of them harmful — into American culture (not to mention harvesting American data).

During the Biden regime, Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter, and Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, colluded with the government to squash certain stories, like Hunter Biden’s laptop and the Russiagate scandal, and censor Americans who questioned COVID vaccines and mandates.

In this way, the algorithm has the immense power to shape public perception around every single topic.

Our heavily digital society ought to be extremely cautious about this. If we want to protect ourselves, not to mention our children, from indoctrination, radicalization, and addiction, we must be vigilant.

But what does that look like?

Nicole Shanahan, BlazeTV host of “Back to the People,” invited digital media innovator and co-founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company Richard Ryan to the show to discuss this question.

Ryan’s new book, “The Warrior’s Garden,” is a deep dive into the implications and dangers of social media algorithms and a step-by-step guide on how we protect ourselves against harm.

An algorithm fails to be effective in shaping perception if people aren’t spending large quantities of time on the platform. In other words, its power lies in its ability to addict. But creating millions of zombie-like addicts is not just about what content is being circulated; it’s about how it’s being served.

Ryan gives the example of casinos. The games and the potential of cashing in big aren’t the only things that keep gamblers shelling out their hard-earned money. A casino’s environment wields enormous influence on the duration of a person’s stay, which is why they are intentionally engineered to foster addiction. The lack of clocks and windows, the labyrinthine layout where there’s no straight exits, and the bright lights, flashing colors, and constant sounds create a disassociation bubble, where external realities fade.

Social media platforms are basically personalized digital casinos, except we’re not losing our money; we’re losing our time, quality of life, and our ability to think critically and independently, as algorithms chip away at our brains.

“I think we'll find that a lot of this will have some type of implications for memory or cognitive decline, definitely emotional atrophy and different neurological processes for sure,” says Ryan.

If cognitive issues weren't scary enough, our tech addictions are also eating away at our time. This is really terrifying when you think about what time is — “the only currency that we spend that we never know our remaining balance.”

How do we protect ourselves from brain rot and throwing away precious time?

Ryan’s advice is simple:

1. “Figure out where your digital consumption is going.”

2. Ask yourself, “What things do I really value in life?”

3. “Start establishing boundaries.”

For Ryan, this looked like coming to the realization that he didn’t want to “spend 2.8 years of [his] life on TikTok” and instead devote his invaluable hours doing the things he felt were truly life-giving.

He cut back on certain apps, installed a blue-light reducing screen protector, and programmed his phone settings to grayscale. When he got home from work, he started putting his phone by the front door, almost like hanging up a coat jacket.

“I can't compulsively just scroll on the couch or anything like that. I have to be present with everyone that's around me,” he says.

He also got rid of most of his streaming services and bought a blue-ray disc player.

“I said to myself, I'm not going to sit on the couch, and even if we want to watch a movie, we're not going to just ... click on something. If we want to watch something, we're going to agree we're going to go to the movie theater, or we're going to order it, and it'll be here in a day or two,” he tells Nicole.

“Inputs equal outputs because so much of my daily consumption was algorithmically curated to keep me in a fight-or-flight state. Anger, fear, anger, fear — like my inputs were all negative and so by offsetting that with positive inputs, it really had a meaningful impact on my life.”

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.
