The UK is now cracking down on ... words? England edges toward full-blown speech police state



Before the Magna Carta, the King of England was the law. After, he was under the law. It created the principle of due process, habeas corpus protection from arbitrary arrest, and limited taxation without consent.

“Rule of law, jury trials, rights of the accused, limits on government, protection of property, accountability of leaders — all of that comes from the Magna Carta,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck explains on “The Glenn Beck Program.”

“That gave birth, 500 years later, to us and our ideas,” he says.

However, now all of that is changing.


“The birthplace of the Magna Carta is now thinking about getting rid of jury trials and arresting more than 12,000 people every year for what they call speech crimes — 12,000,” Glenn says.

“In 2023, Russia arrested 4,000 people for speech crimes against the Russian military for Ukraine — 4,000 in Russia, 12,000 in England. The number I saw, and we don’t have all the numbers, but the number I saw that were arrested for speech crimes in China was 120,” he continues.

“Not for violence, not for theft, not for treason — 12,000 in England for words,” he adds.

But it gets worse, as the prime minister is “floating the idea of eliminating” most jury trials.

“It’ll only be for murder, manslaughter, oh, and something else like that,” Glenn says.

“This goes against the Magna Carta, the lawful judgment of your peers. OK? That is the safeguard that stands between you and an out-of-control state. This is the first and ancient firewall against tyranny. It is what makes England, England,” he continues.

“And if England, of all places, tosses that aside, what does the word ‘free’ mean anymore? OK? What does it mean? You can’t speak, and you have no jury trial of your peers. Wait, what?” he says.

“First of all, understand this: A nation that polices speech is not free. A nation that dissolves juries is not just unfree; it’s prepping for something worse, because the entire architecture of the Western world, the liberty that we have, rests on a single radical belief,” he says, adding, “The truth does not need a king.”

The 'red-pilled' youth: The most important issue to college-age men



BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler spent her fall season speaking at college campuses and private events across the country — and she recalls one question on the tip of every young man’s tongue.

“I started to notice this fall that there’s a pattern in the questions that I was getting asked off the record. They were questions that were very different from the questions that I was asked on the record,” Wheeler explains.

“Their question to me was asking if I knew why the Trump administration’s mass deportations were off to what appears to feel like a slow start,” she says.

And it’s not because they’re “racist,” as many on the left would accuse them of being.


“The reason why they care is because of the implications that — it's not just illegal immigration, but mass migration has had on their lives. A lot of these young men … are more conservative than the men of my generation, the Millennial generation,” she says, noting that a common label placed on these young men is “red-pilled.”

“They’re embracing traditional values a little bit more. They want to get married. They want to have children. They are more religious. They want to buy a home. They want the stability of, you know, what maybe our parents would have sought after,” she continues.

“And yet, these young men on these college campuses are facing a problem as they get their college degree thinking that they’re going to be prepared for the workforce. They’re going to be able to get a good job, have a paycheck, be able to support a wife, and provide for a family,” she adds.

These men are instead finding that they’re not able to get jobs, buy homes, or support families.

“Even if they have a decent-paying job, they’re not able to afford a down payment on a home because 25 years ago they could have bought, you know, a split-level starter home in a suburban neighborhood somewhere in the Midwest for $150,000 or $175,000, and they could afford a down payment on that,” Wheeler explains.

“But today, that same house is like $375,000, and $375,000, even if they could maybe afford the monthly payment of a mortgage for a house of that price, they cannot afford the down payment. And so they feel very helpless,” she says, pointing out that this is where immigration comes in.

“They look at these millions upon millions, tens of millions of illegals who are taking up these homes, and they realize that the demand for these homes from these illegals is part of what drives the price so high, so high that it’s unaffordable to these young men,” she continues.

And these concerns remind Wheeler of someone else.

“This is what Charlie Kirk used to do. He used to speak to these young men on college campuses and not just — he wasn’t just lecturing them. Charlie wasn’t just there to shake his finger and wag his finger and tell them why they’re wrong,” she explains.

“Charlie listened. He listened to their grievances. He listened to what these young men were experiencing. And he didn’t just listen to set himself up for, like, you know, an own-the-lib type of response,” she continues. “He listened so that he could help solve the problem.”

New X post from Zohran Mamdani has even conservatives nodding in approval, but are they duped?



On November 29 — Small Business Saturday — New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani slapped a new caption on a five-month-old campaign video pledging to boost NYC’s small-business ecosystem with massive deregulation measures, leading some conservatives to applaud the socialist as more based than they originally thought.

In the clip, Mamdani vows to “make it faster, easier, and cheaper for small businesses to get started and stay open” by cutting fines and fees by 50%, expediting permits and applications, appointing a “Mom and Pop czar” to fight bureaucracy, and increasing funding for small business programs by 500%.

This kind of red-tape-slashing, deregulatory rhetoric is something you would normally hear from Republicans or maybe an old-school Democrat, but to hear it from a self-described socialist is truly an anomaly.

Or is it?

John Doyle, BlazeTV host of “The John Doyle Show,” says these conservatives praising Mamdani’s small-business plan have had the wool pulled over their eyes. Mamdani doesn’t care about small business; “he is simply rewarding his foreign base.”

For starters, the massive increase in small-business funding, Doyle reminds, is simply “redistribution of wealth from the whiter neighborhoods.”

“I'm quoting Mamdani, who wanted to raise taxes specifically on the whiter neighborhoods … to pay for these handouts,” he says.

But the more important issue is who these small-business perks are intended to benefit. It’s not native New Yorkers; it’s the foreigners who “elected him to office,” says Doyle.

In response to the people who foolishly think that Mamdani’s small-business plan reveals he’s maybe not the stark raving mad Marxist we thought he was, Doyle tweeted the following:

— (@)

Because NYC’s business marketplace is one of the most saturated and competitive in the nation, “who is moving to New York and starting businesses?” Doyle asks. “It's obviously foreigners.”

Deregulation for Mamdani, he argues, isn’t about helping businesses; it’s about lowering the standards — “cleanliness standards, worker hygiene standards, temperature control, food safety standards, inspections, record-keeping” — to turn NYC into the kind of third-world slum his voter base came from.

“That is what is going on here,” he declares.

“You have to be 200 IQ enough to understand that in this instance, deregulation is actually Marxist in nature.”

Trump Accounts: Newborns get a $1,000 tax-free nest egg that grows until age 18 — American dream revival or debt nightmare?



Back in July, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law, establishing Trump Accounts — a tax-free savings program that provides a $1,000 government deposit for every U.S. newborn from 2025 to 2028. Families are permitted to contribute up to $5,000 annually starting July 4, 2026. Funds are locked until age 18, when they become available for uses like education, a first home, or business startup.

The core idea behind the initiative is to revive the American dream for today’s young Americans, who have lower home ownership rates, more student debt, and less wealth at age 30 than their parents or grandparents did.

But is it really a good idea? Or is it just another form of socialist wealth redistribution that creates dependency rather than true opportunity?

On a recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn spoke with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's adviser Joseph Lavorgna.

Yesterday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described these Trump Accounts as "the beginning of a shareholder economy" during a panel at the New York Times DealBook Summit in New York.

“That's a little frightening because we've been warning against the stakeholder economy. How far down the road does Secretary Bessent think we were on the stakeholder if this is the beginning of a shareholder economy?” Glenn asks.

But Lavorgna says there’s nothing frightening about Bessent’s statement.

“What he meant by that was that the U.S. economy is one that thrives when you've got incentives to produce and work,” he says.

“The bill that the president signed … encourages capital formation and growth and the ability to invest in the future to teach, in many cases yet-to-be-born boys and girls, the power of compound interest in being a stakeholder in the capitalist system.”

“In other words, if you have a stake in the system, you don't want to burn it down?” Glenn asks.

“Right. It's essentially the American dream. It's a way to build wealth creation,” Lavorgna confirms, praising Trump Accounts as “a great investment for the future.”

But Glenn has two major concerns.

One: The same idea was proposed to our founders, but they shut it down.

“This was proposed before, during the founding era. It was called Agrarian Justice, and Thomas Paine said, ‘We should give 15 pounds to everybody who turns 21,’ and that 15 pounds … would be, in today's dollars, about $2,500 to $3,000,” says Glenn.

The founders, he explains, “rejected it” as “redistribution of wealth” and “not government's role.”

But Lavorgna defends the idea. “That was over a couple hundred years ago, and the economy and the capitalist system has evolved significantly. This isn't a redistribution of wealth; this is an investment in the future and people's livelihoods.”

He also argues that the program is a tool for developing “financial literacy,” meaning American youth will be taught that “when they put money aside, that money will grow and do wondrous things through the power of compound interest.”

Glenn’s second counterargument is that we shouldn’t be beginning any new government programs when the national debt is already out of control.

“We're $38 trillion in debt. I'm so torn on this because I really do understand people feel like they don't have a stake; they're never going to get ahead; they're never going to get a house — all of this stuff that's leading them to this lie of socialism,” he says.

“We have to do something. But again, I'm so concerned about opening up a can of worms here that just gets out of control again.”

But Lavorgna says Trump Accounts are “not consumption.” The money, he says, goes straight “back into the capitalist system” — sparking businesses, growing companies, and creating jobs and wealth.

“The only way that we are going to be able to deal with the debt situation is to grow and to grow fast,” he says.

Glenn Beck BURIES the 5 biggest Hitler myths circulating right now with original Nazi documents



The idea that Adolf Hitler was some misunderstood or even "good" figure while Winston Churchill was the real WWII villain was once confined to the extreme fringes and unknown to almost everyone else. Today, however, the idea has resurfaced with disturbing visibility — no longer limited to neo-Nazi forums but now defended or entertained on major podcasts, viral social-media threads, and platforms with tens of millions of listeners and viewers.

Glenn Beck, a lover of history and collector of historical artifacts, is appalled that this revisionist narrative is being taken seriously.

“I really don't get it. History, real history, is not a choose-your-own-adventure kind of thing. It's ink on paper, orders in filing cabinets, telegrams, diaries, bodies. It's what actually happened, not what we hope happened,” he says.

On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn sets the record straight about Hitler, Churchill, and WWII.

Lie #1: Poland wasn’t part of Hitler’s conquest plan

“Let me just say this calmly, factually, and finally: Germany's plans for Poland were not reactive. They were premeditated,” he asserts.

The faulty idea pushed by Hitler rehabilitators that Britain conned the West into going to war by promising to defend Poland is easily debunked with an artifact Glenn has in his possession. “It’s called Fall Weiss,” he says. “It's Hitler's operational blueprint for the invasion of Poland, drafted in 1938, a year before [British Prime Minister Neville] Chamberlain said, ‘We're going to guarantee [Poland’s] safety."’

“Hitler's explicitly stated road map [targeted] Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, then the East,” he explains. “Britain didn't pull Germany into war. Germany was already marching toward war — global war.”

Lie #2: Hitler had no Western ambitions

The second WWII fallacy that demands debunking, he says, is the idea that Hitler had “no Western ambitions” and actually wanted peace with Britain.

“Really? Because we have the paper trail again,” Glenn retorts.

“How do you explain Operation Sea Lion — Hitler's detailed plan to invade and occupy Great Britain?” he asks. “You don't draw up amphibious landing schedules across the English Channel just in case.”

But before this plot was even fathomed, Hitler had already tried to tee himself up to dominant Britain. In May 1941, Hitler’s second in command, Rudolf Hess, secretly flew a plane to Scotland with a mission of trying to make a “peace deal” with Britain. The offer, Glenn says, was this: “Let Hitler dominate Europe, and Germany would leave Britain alone.”

He had Nazi sympathizers in high British society — including the ex-King Edward VIII, who had openly praised Hitler and was willing to be put back on the throne as a Nazi puppet if Germany invaded.

“The Nazi files recovered after the war show explicit German plans to reinstall him after an occupation,” says Glenn. “Hitler was not avoiding conflict with Britain; he was planning its subversion.”

Lie #3: Hitler was initially friendly toward America

The idea that Hitler admired America and never wanted to go to war with her is another idea that easily crumbles under the weight of basic logic.

Hitler’s ideology stands in contrast in every way possible to that of the United States.

“Hitler believed the state was supreme, that the German people existed for the Reich. In America, the Constitution is supreme, and it exists to limit the states. Rights come from the furor and the government in [Nazi] Germany; in America, rights come from God, and the government is the servant, not the master,” Glenn differentiates.

“The individual in Germany: expendable. The West is built on the sanctity of the individual. Racial hierarchy is destiny in [Nazi] Germany. The West, at its best, rejects racial supremacy. The Declaration starts with ‘all men are created equal’ — not ‘some races are destined to rule.’ Nowhere in our documents does it say the state must expand endlessly,”’ he continues.

Lie #4: The US should’ve sided with Hitler over Stalin — the greater evil

“People are arguing now that the Allies should have sided with Hitler instead of Stalin. No rational reading of history supports any of that,” says Glenn.

While “Hitler and Stalin were both monstrous,” the U.S. was forced to choose “survival.”

“The question for us was no longer, ‘Hey, which dictator is better?’ The question was, ‘Which outcome prevents Hitler from ruling all of Europe?’ Because if Hitler defeated the Soviet Union, the resources of the East — all the oil, all the grain, all the industry, all the manpower — would have made the Third Reich unstoppable,” Glenn corrects.

But even still, “We knew at the time Stalin was just as bad. We knew we were going to be in war with Stalin at some point.”

Lie #5: Winston Churchill was the real WWII villain

Nobody could see Stalin’s wickedness more than Winston Churchill, says Glenn. “He was the one saying, ‘We can't have this guy as an ally."’

Even still, it’s “not about defending Churchill, who I think is a hero; but it's about defending the record, the truth, so in our moment of confusion and upheaval and ideological extremism, we don't lose our footing on the bedrock of fact.”

“When we begin to question whether the West should have resisted Hitler, where are we going? When we entertain the idea that freedom and tyranny could have co-existed, you're not just rearranging interpretations; you're reopening a door millions died to close,” Glenn warns.

“Be very careful when someone tells you the villain wasn't really the villain. Woe unto him who makes evil good and good evil.”

Glenn Beck loses it over new GAO report exposing ANOTHER multibillion-dollar Obamacare heist



Remember when Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency started combing through federal spending with a fine-tooth comb and making commonsense cuts, and the Democrats had a tantrum of epic proportions?

That’s because they didn’t want the American people to know about all their little NGOs that intentionally “fund our destruction.” They didn’t want us to find out about the billions of dollars in Obamacare fraud, Glenn Beck says.

On Wednesday, the Government Accountability Office published a report addressing fraud in the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.

Titled “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: Preliminary Results from Ongoing Review Suggest Fraud Risks in the Advance Premium Tax Credit Persist,” the report reveals the following key findings:

  • GAO ran fake applicants through the system, and almost all of them still got approved for subsidized coverage, even when identity proofing failed up front and they submitted bogus documents.
  • In 2023, there were over $21 billion in premium tax credits that the IRS couldn’t match to filed tax returns — meaning that money was likely issued to ineligible people or in the wrong amounts.
  • In 2023, about 58,000 people listed were flagged as deceased who still appeared to have subsidies paid on their behalf, roughly $94 million in total.
  • There were 29,000 instances of the same Social Security number used across multiple plans, including one extreme case where a single SSN was tied to more than 125 policies.
  • From January to August 2024, CMS logged about 275,000 complaints from people saying they were enrolled or switched into plans without their consent.
  • In 2018, CMS tested the system’s susceptibility to fraud and found numerous high-risk issues, yet has failed to make any changes or reassess since.

But don’t get upset yet, because the worst part comes next.

“These are the exact same findings the GAO had in 2015/2016. ... It is literally word for word almost the same findings,” says Glenn’s chief researcher, Jason Buttrill.

Glenn is deeply disturbed by the GAO’s report.

“When a government becomes this incompetent and unaccountable, your country starts to completely fall apart,” he sighs.

“We see Democrats now rushing to the microphone to defend the perpetrators, the judges that are reversing verdicts to protect the people who stole from you. I contend that the people that are rushing to the microphones to defend it are the people who have been covering this up,” he speculates.

The people behind this fraud — whether they committed or overlooked it — should go to jail, he says, and anyone who disagrees is just “brainwashed.”

Although the country is suffering from “foreign invasion,” “internal strife,” and “financial collapse,” it is “internal corruption” that will be our ultimate downfall, he warns.

“Stop the fraud,” he pleads.

“Our country will not survive if we continue to normalize this stuff,” he adds.

Conservative influencers promote Qatar as a desert paradise — but are they lying?



One of the main reasons Americans flock to shows like “The Liz Wheeler Show” is because Wheeler is someone the average citizen can trust to tell the truth — and it’s something that she’s very proud of. Which is why when other members of the new media on the right appear to betray the trust of the American people, she feels the need to call it out.

“These people, who are ostensibly conservatives, began to post on X very long, flowery defenses of Qatar and the Qatari government that didn’t seem to be quite authentic. It didn’t seem to be quite organic,” Wheeler explains, pointing to Rob Smith as one of those influencers.

“My first trip to Qatar has been eye-opening. This is a very different Middle East than I experienced as a U.S. Army soldier deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom,” Smith began in his post on X.


“I wasn’t aware of a great deal of things about Qatar, only misperceptions and half-truths I’d read about online. When the opportunity was presented to me, with full authority and autonomy to ask the tough questions of the officials I’d be meeting with (and I did), I decided to risk any potential criticism and to travel and experience it for myself,” he continued.

The post went on to praise the Qatari government further, finishing with a posed photo of Smith on a balcony.

“If your reaction after hearing that post or reading that post was anything like mine was, maybe you scratched your head after you read that, because it reads a little bit like a scam email,” Wheeler says.

“I mean, to be perfectly frank, my gut reaction when I read that was, ‘Shouldn’t you register as a foreign lobbyist after writing this post, Rob?’” she adds.

In another post from influencer Emily Wilson, she is posed in a photo on a very similar looking balcony, writing only, “So beautiful can’t wait to come back," followed by the flag of Qatar.

When Wilson’s post went viral, she responded, “I genuinely can’t believe how clueless some people are. Qatar hosts Formula 1 and people from all over the world fly in for it. Tourists, models, celebrities, fans. It is a massive international destination.”

“And honestly it was amazing to finally feel safe and not be surrounded by homeless crackheads and criminals for once. I could actually relax and enjoy myself. Maybe if you salty losers left your bedrooms and visited a place before obsessively talking about it, you wouldn’t sound so chronically online and jealous,” she added.

“Again it just doesn’t ring quite true. Why all of a sudden are these influencers coming to the defense of Qatar?” Wheeler asks, pointing out that Smith happens to be gay, which is considered a crime in Qatar.

“They write these glowing recommendations of Qatar and yet their own behavior is actually illegal in Qatar. If you look at Qatari law, it’s illegal to evangelize for any other religion besides Islam. You can be put in prison or worse from that. You are not allowed to preach publicly about Christianity or distribute any kind of religious materials,” Wheeler explains.

“You can’t even question the tenants, the teachings of the Islamic religion. That is a criminal offense in Qatar. ... Same-sex sexual relations in Qatar are illegal and punishable by imprisonment. If you engage in any kind of gay sex, then you are considered a criminal under the Islamic law in Qatar,” she continues.

“They have a two-tier justice system, a justice system that oppresses regular people and lets off the elites, holds them to an easier standard, which is pretty evident,” she says, adding, “That’s exactly what’s happening here to Rob Smith and to Emily Saves America.”

Minneapolis mayor speaks in botched Somali to support community accused of stealing billions



Billions of taxpayer dollars in Minnesota have somehow gone to Somalia — including to Al-Shabaab — one of the worst terrorist groups in the world.

And Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey seems to care more about the feelings of the Somalian immigrants now under scrutiny than those of the taxpayers whose money has been stolen from them.

“We are here to respond to a number of credible reports from several media outlets relaying that there are as many as 100 federal agents that will be deployed to the Twin Cities with a specific focus on targeting our Somali community,” Frey said on December 2.


“To our Somali community, we love you and we stand with you. That commitment is rock-solid. Minneapolis is proud to be home to the largest Somali community in the entire country. They’ve been here for decades, in many instances. They’re entrepreneurs and fathers,” he continued.

“Is anybody arguing with this? Is anybody arguing with the Somali community? They are not coming in to target the Somali community. They are coming in to target the fraud that is happening in the Somali community,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck responds.

“He immediately jumps to race because that’s what that means. Once you start talking about a collective, ‘They’re coming after the Somali community,’” he mocks, “You know you’re into racism; you’re into some ism.”

Glenn points out that it’s actually “very reminiscent of Hitler.”

“That’s what he did. Everybody’s the same. Only the certain German elites, only the certain Germans with blue eyes and blond hair … can rule the world. That’s racism,” Glenn explains. “When you’re saying they’re coming after the Somali community, what you’re saying is, ‘Oh, well, they’re racists coming in.’ But what he’s actually saying is, ‘Look, we are lumping every Somali in our community as clean.’”

“That’s racism. Just like I can’t say every Somali is dirty. You send in teams of professionals to find out who’s involved in this. And I don’t care if they’re Somali or they’re the governor. If they broke the law, they need to go to jail,” he continues.

Frey went on to claim that fighting the fraud within the Somali community is “not American.”

“That’s not American. That’s not what we are about. And we’re going to do right by every single person in our cities,” Frey said, before going on to attempt — and fail — to speak in Somali.

“At least practice it in the mirror first,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere laughs.

“Why are you speaking Somalian to them?” Glenn asks. “Why? Have they not melted in?”

Holiday sales predicted to shatter $1 TRILLION — yet Glenn Beck warns of history’s first-ever synchronized global collapse



For all of human history, the four-stage debt cycle has remained the same: Discipline leads to economic prosperity; prosperity creates complacency; complacency tees up excessive spending; excessive spending turns into debt, which reaches a breaking point, necessitating discipline and restarting the cycle.

This has been true for every great empire the world has ever seen.

While the rise and fall of nations is nothing new, what is happening right now in global economics, says Glenn Beck, is indeed new — and it should terrify everyone.

“For the very first time in world history … the entire globe is riding the same wheel at the same time,” he warns.

“Right now, America, Europe, China, Japan, and every other major power … have all hit stage four at the same time.”

“The bond markets are shaking. The currencies are all volatile. Politicians are praying that no one notices the numbers. … Stage four is not coming. We are now living inside the opening act,” Glenn warns.

And yet a recent report from the National Retail Federation’s annual holiday forecast estimates that U.S. holiday retail sales will surpass $1 trillion for the first time ever.

Glenn, who says he is floored by the prices of food and goods and often wonders how the average person can afford to live right now, fears that the American people are making the same mistake as these governments on the brink of financial collapse.

“We're spending, spending, spending, and I don't understand it. … We're just spending because we think we can get out of it,” he laments.

But our government and its constituents would be wise to remember what happens when stage four of the debt cycle is complete.

“It’s called the reset,” says Glenn, and it culminates in either crushing inflation, outright default and political chaos, or war.

For this to happen in any one country is terrible, but imagine the unmitigated catastrophe that would unfold if several global superpowers collapsed simultaneously.

“Rome collapsed by itself. France collapsed alone. Weimar collapsed by itself. Britain declined while America rose. It was always one country coming down and another country coming up,” says Glenn, but “this time all countries on both sides — the free world and the not-so-free world — there's no one rising.”

“So what does that mean?” he asks.

While the history books can’t inform us, as this widespread teetering is unprecedented, we can only assume it means that rampant inflation, political upheaval, and war won’t be regional but “global” and “systemic.”

The silver lining is that collapse also “[creates] the conditions for renewal.” But until then, we are faced with a choice: Will we continue to spend ourselves into oblivion, or will we exercise the discipline it takes to create prosperity?

“The next chapter is not written. What happens to us is not written,” says Glenn, “and whether we rise or fall from what's coming depends not on Washington, not on Wall Street, but on us in our homes and our families and our churches and our communities.”

Jack Posobiec’s prediction comes true in record time; classified Trump-Russia call conveniently leaked



Just days ago, Jack Posobiec predicted future government leaks to damage President Trump were incoming — and not 24 hours after his prediction, it was proven right.

“When the first impeachment of President Trump happened in 2019, it was regarding leaks from a phone call, believe it or not, with Ukraine and the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy,” Posobiec told BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”

“So in that case, you had Alexander Binman, who was an Army officer. You had the CIA officer Eric Ciaramella that was detailed to President Trump’s White House and the National Security Council. I’ve said that I think what they’re trying to do is gin this up again. They’re trying to get someone ... to start leaking classified information, national security information,” he continued, adding, “Like, oh, I don’t know, the current peace negotiations between the United States, Ukraine, and Russia.”

The plan, Posobiec told Wheeler, would be to get “another impeachment of President Trump.”


“And if the Democrats are able to be victorious in taking back the House, many people think that’s a possibility for 2026, then this will be something that they have on the shelf ready to go day one,” he explained.

“I think that there’s a plot afoot, I absolutely think that it’s a color revolution designed to overthrow the sitting commander in chief, the president of the United States,” he added.

Wheeler is astounded by how quickly Posobiec was proven correct.

“Less than 24 hours after that aired ... Jack’s prediction came true. We were greeted this morning with a leak, a leak of a classified phone call, or I would assume it was classified, a transcript of a phone call between Vladimir Putin’s senior foreign policy adviser and Steve Witkoff, who is President Trump’s special envoy,” Wheeler explains.

“This phone call between Witkoff and Putin’s senior foreign policy adviser is being presented in exactly the same way as that phone call between President Trump and Zelenskyy was presented all those years ago,” she continues.

Now the left is “framing this as some kind of great scandal.”

“They’re saying President Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff has advised the Russian government, has given advice to Vladimir Putin, on how to coerce Trump into agreeing to a certain peace plan,” Wheeler explains, pointing out that “there was nothing remotely scandalous about anything that was said in that call.”

“The scandal, of course, is that this call was leaked to Bloomberg and that this was released publicly. That is a bad faith move by a bad actor, and we should figure out who leaked that to Bloomberg because it will be detrimental to actually creating a peace deal,” she says.

“President Trump is not only a good negotiator, he’s a good negotiator because he negotiates at a very high level, but he uses very basic negotiation techniques and tactics. One of the most effective negotiation tactics, when you have something that you want the other party to agree to, is to make the other party think that your idea is their idea,” she continues.

“That is what you’re seeing play out with Steve Witkoff,” she adds.
