Liz Wheeler drops truth bomb on Pope Leo’s ‘be less fearful’ of Islam comments
An old comment from Pope Leo XIV is circulating widely again on social media amid his ongoing apostolic journey to Africa, where he has been meeting with Muslim leaders and visiting Muslim holy sites, including the Grand Mosque of Algiers.
In December 2025, during an in-flight press conference on the papal plane returning from his trip to Turkey and Lebanon, the pope said, “I think one of the great lessons that Lebanon can teach to the world is precisely showing a land where Islam and Christianity are both present and are respected and that there is a possibility to live together, to be friends.”
He added: “I think those are lessons that would be important also to be heard in Europe or North America. We should perhaps be a little less fearful and look for ways of promoting authentic dialogue and respect.”
Liz Wheeler, BlazeTV host of “The Liz Wheeler Show,” is deeply disappointed to hear “the successor of Saint Peter [articulating] leftist political opinions.”
Liz shares some harrowing statistics: “93% of the 4,849 Christians who were murdered for their faith last year were murdered by Muslims, by Islamists, most of them in sub-Saharan Africa.”
“The pope is visiting Africa as we speak, and I would wonder if he visited the mass graves of the Catholics slaughtered in Africa,” she says, playing a video clip of a Nigerian Catholic priest pleading for Western intervention, as he stands behind the body of a woman murdered for her faith by Muslim radicals.
“[The pope] put a wreath on a Muslim grave yesterday in Algeria to commemorate Algerians that were killed in their war of independence. What he didn’t mention was these Algerians who were killed were fighting Catholics. They murdered Catholics,” she continues.
“It is discouraging to hear the pope tell us to be less fearful of Islam as if we’re in sin for this — for recognizing the fanatical nature of their religious belief in jihad, which is based on our observation that our differences with Muslims are not relegated to something in the past,” she says.
“It wasn’t just a battle during the Crusades centuries ago, but it’s happening now. The massacre of Christians is happening today in Africa at the hands of Islamists who are killing in the name of their religion.”

Allie Beth Stuckey exposes therapy’s popular ‘inner child’ concept as unbiblical
The therapy world has exploded in recent years. Not only has going to therapy been totally destigmatized and is even seen as a status symbol, but the research and clinical sides of the industry have developed an enormous range of different types of treatment.
But how are Christians supposed to view the therapy world? Just because a particular treatment has been touted as effective, does that mean a believer can give it a stamp of approval?
On a recent episode of “Relatable,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey dove into the secular therapy world and exposed several popular practices as unbiblical — one of which is the concept of the “inner child.”
The “biggest threat” to Christian women in particular, says Allie, is “not progressivism,” “not feminism,” “not the New Age,” and “not toxic empathy.”
“It’s therapy culture,” she says bluntly.
“I actually believe that the progressivism, feminism, toxic empathy, emotionalism, me-centeredness, New Age-ish stuff that unfortunately infects so many women’s Bible studies … and conferences are all downstream from the secular therapy, pop psychology, pseudo-spiritualism that we find on social media that is dedicated to women’s therapy and therapy concepts.”
For Allie, a lot of “therapeutic language” is just “an excuse for complaining and self-centeredness” and “a replacement for sanctification, for self-denial, for generosity, and the hard work of Holy Spirit-empowered holiness.”
She says that nowhere is this more evident than in the concept of the “inner child.”
In the therapy world, the “inner child” refers to the part of your adult self that still carries the emotions, needs, wounds, and beliefs formed during childhood. Therapeutic treatments often include patients learning to identify, reconnect with, and heal their childhood wounds, unmet needs, and emotions through techniques like visualization, reparenting exercises, emotional processing, and inner dialogue work.
But Allie says that “there’s no such thing as an inner child in the Christian worldview.”
While she validates the existence of “childhood memories,” “childhood experiences that shaped us,” and “childhood pain,” she argues that “the concept of an emotional or spiritual existence of an internal version of ourselves at 6 or 8 or 12 years old does not exist.”
Further, the concept of an inner child has problematic origins for the Christian, she says.
Sigmund Freud “popularized the idea that repressed childhood trauma is what drives much of our adult behavior,” but this perspective, Allie argues, denies our “sin nature that we inherited from Adam.”
One of Freud’s protégés, Carl Jung, then expanded on the idea of an internal child, which he called “the divine child” — a symbol for the pure, whole, innocent, and miraculous potential inside each person.
But Allie condemns this concept, as it also denies the biblical reality of sin nature. It has also, however, birthed and fed the New Age notion of the “inner goddess” — a divine or sacred internal energy or essence in each person that, if awakened, allows one to reclaim personal wholeness and embody her highest self.
“This underlying assumption that if it weren’t for all of these other factors, my inner self would be perfect and perfectly loved and if I can find her and find a way to perfectly love her and heal her, then I’ll just be okay — that is a secular New Age idea. It’s not a biblical idea,” says Allie, citing Jeremiah 17:9, which warns that “the heart is deceitful above all things.”
Ultimately, the inner child and other concepts that turn our gaze inward put the focus on us instead of God — the true healer, says Allie.
“This journey to finding the untainted, perfect, divine self inside of us is a losing battle that actually will just encourage more self-focus, which is the thing that is oppressing and trapping us, not the thing that’s going to liberate us.”
To hear Allie’s full biblical breakdown of the inner child — as well as more therapy treatments that she argues are unbiblical — watch the episode above.

3 must-watch highlights from Allie Beth Stuckey’s David French debate
Yesterday, BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey debated New York Times columnist David French, who has long identified as an evangelical Christian and a conservative.
Despite their shared theological and political identities, Stuckey and French clash on a number of issues, including transgender pronouns and gender ideology, abortion, and Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico, among others.
In their 95-minute debate, the duo respectfully went head-to-head on topics that have drawn strong criticism of French from many on the conservative right.
Here are three highlights from the debate:
Talarico dispute
Allie brought up French’s recent article in which he praised Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico as a Christian who sets a positive example of the faith in politics compared to “MAGA Christianity.”
In contrast, Allie has sharply criticized Talarico’s progressive theological views, accusing him of twisting Scripture to support abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, and left-wing policies
But French doubled down: “I’m just really not willing to say James Talarico is not a Christian.”
He continued, “When I look at our political discourse around Christianity in this country and political Christianity, it’s so broken. … We’re writing people out of Christianity based on policy positions.”
Allie pushed back, arguing that Talarico is pushing far more than policy positions.
“They’re not policy positions to say God is non-binary … or to say our trans neighbors need abortion care too, or to say that, ‘I think all religions share the same central truth,’” she countered, insisting that these are primarily “theological” issues.
Given that Talarico refuses to “affirm Genesis 1,” Allie made it clear that it’s “going to be tough” to agree that he’s the Christian he identifies as.
The Harris vote
In another part of the debate, Allie brought up French’s 2024 endorsement of Kamala Harris.
“I don’t understand voting for someone like Kamala Harris,” she said, referencing the Biden DOJ’s removal of SNAP benefits for public schools that refused to allow biological males to use girls’ facilities or compete on girls’ teams.
She also pointed to Harris’ pledge to restore the Roe v. Wade framework and her opposition to bills banning late-term abortions.
“I agree with you on so many of these issues. … I just don’t think I could ever vote for Kamala Harris,” she reiterated.
French countered by arguing that for him, the Russia-Ukraine War took precedence over gender and abortion issues.
“I would place a war in which a million people are being killed and injured, which could potentially lead to a World War III that we may not survive as a species … way above things like pronouns,” he said.
But Allie pushed back on what she saw as “diminishment” of her original argument.
“You know I’m not just talking about pronouns,” she resisted.
“I’m talking about medical guidance for hospitals to chemically castrate kids. I’m talking about in Democrat states … taking kids out of the custody of their parents because the parents won’t affirm this newfound gender of the child,” she continued.
Pronoun clash
Allie also called out what she perceived to be conflicting statements regarding French’s position on “pronoun politeness.”
Last year during a podcast, French referred to his male colleague (Brian Riedl) who identifies as a woman using female pronouns — an act many, including Allie, perceived as a contradiction to his 2018 article, in which he wrote, “The use of a pronoun isn’t a matter of mere manners. It’s a declaration of a fact. I won’t call Chelsea Manning ‘she’ for a very simple reason. He’s a man.”
“Is your stance one of pronoun politeness that you believe that a man who identifies as a woman should be referred to as ‘she/her’?” Allie inquired.
French claimed he “didn’t remember” using female pronouns to refer to Riedl and partially reaffirmed his 2018 statement.
After praising Riedl as a “brilliant analyst,” French stated, “I’m going to be kind to [trans people], but I also don’t want to say things that I don’t believe are true, and so the way I deal with that is, I use people’s names.”
He caveated, however, by declaring that he’s “definitely not going to go out of [his] way” to call trans-identifying people by the pronouns matching their biological sex.
Allie replied, “I don’t see it as unkind calling someone, whether it’s to their face or not to their face, the gender that God made them.”
But French dissented. “Oh, I think if somebody is dealing with gender dysphoria, … I don’t see the value in me saying something to them that I know and they know is going to be hurtful to them.”
“It’s just normal, complete politeness and manners,” he continued.
“I’m just not going to go out of my way to say something that I know is going to be hurtful just because I can justify it as being true. All true words are not kind by virtue of just simply being true.”
Allie conceded, “I agree that you don’t have to be rude to someone and say, ‘That shirt looks bad on you.’”
“But when it comes to [gender], when we know it’s a lie that damages someone, that hurts them spiritually and physically and emotionally, hurts their family, I just can’t get on board with assenting to the idea that 2+2=5.”
Overall, the debate offered a revealing look at the growing divide within evangelical Christianity over truth, compassion, and cultural engagement. Watch the full hour-and-a-half exchange below.

Glenn Beck: Quantum computing is no longer sci-fi. It’s coming for your money — and your secrets.
In case you missed it, April 14 was “World Quantum Day” — a day promoting global awareness of quantum science and technology’s role in society.
Glenn Beck acknowledges that to most people, quantum computing is “a bunch of geek stuff.” But he warns that ignoring the technological breakthroughs happening right now in quantum computing is a grave mistake.
“I know you’re worried about your mortgage and the gas price and everything else,” he says, “but quantum is about to touch everything — everything — in your life.”
In simple terms, quantum computing involves harnessing tiny quantum particles called qubits that can explore millions of possible answers to profoundly difficult problems at the exact same time. What would take humans years, maybe lifetimes, to solve would take a quantum computer just hours.
Right now, quantum computing on the verge of a major breakthrough. In some ways, that’s great news for us, says Glenn.
It “means faster, cheaper drug discovery instead of the 10-year, billion-dollar guessing game that we play now,” he says, speculating that because of quantum computing, “we are on the edge of solving some of the worst diseases ever.”
It will also have its economic benefits.
“It’s going to affect your wallet, because better optimization is going to mean cheaper shipping, smarter traffic lights, lower energy bills,” says Glenn.
But that doesn’t mean quantum computers are all sunshine and rainbows. There’s a dark side to such power.
Glenn warns that right now, “governments and companies are racing to roll out post-quantum codes.”
“Bad actors are scooping up all of this encrypted data because they know a quantum machine will open it later, and once that happens, we’re in real trouble,” he says.
Once quantum computers become powerful enough, nothing will be safe — no secrets, no private bank accounts, no protected personal information.
“Right now, [quantum computing] looks like ivory-tower stuff, but it’s not,” says Glenn.
Despite quantum computing feeling like nerdy “’Star Trek’ stuff,” the truth, he says, is that it is about to totally upend reality.
Glenn warns: “Because of the super tiny rules of the universe, we are about to rewrite the big rules of everyday life, and the people who understand that … won’t just watch the future. You’ll help write it and protect the future.”
“That’s why this matters to you.”

Rufo report confirms: Yes, illegal aliens are receiving FREE sex-change procedures in Newsom’s California
On April 16, BlazeTV host and independent journalist Christopher Rufo published a shocking report titled “California Provides Sex-Change Procedures to Homeless Illegal Aliens.”
“It feels like one of those stories that is like right-wing Mad Libs, where you take all of the most intense right-wing trigger words, you smash them into a sentence. But in this case, it’s not imaginary. It’s all real,” he says.
On this episode of “Rufo & Lomez,” Rufo and co-host Jonathan Keeperman break down the shocking details of the report, react to the on-the-ground footage, and discuss how California voters have become so morally submissive that they now tolerate — and fund — even the most absurd and humiliating policies.
Rufo begins by playing a video clip of his co-author and City Journal colleague Jonathan Choe interviewing a homeless illegal immigrant from Mexico who identifies as a transgender woman and calls himself Jacqueline.
The man confirms that he received both hormones and breast implants for free in California via Medi-Cal.
“Even though you’re undocumented, you can get it,” he said, adding that he’s “waiting” for bottom surgery.
According to Rufo’s reporting, Jacqueline is one of many homeless illegal aliens living in San Francisco’s publicly funded shelters who have received such procedures at the expense of the California taxpayer. On-the-ground interviews and video also confirmed that word is spreading south of the border, encouraging trans-identifying migrants to come for these free procedures.
“[Choe] actually went to a number of homeless shelters in San Francisco, and at each homeless shelter, he found transgender illegal migrants who told him very directly, ‘We’re here to get hormones, breast implants,’ and, as Jacqueline says, ‘bottom surgery,”’ says Rufo.
He then plays a second video featuring another transgender-identifying illegal alien named Lyca — a biological male from Honduras who says he came to the United States explicitly to take advantage of the taxpayer-funded benefits that will pay for his transition. He candidly admitted that Medi-Cal is currently paying for his hormone therapy.
Both Rufo and Keeperman agree that California voters have become so afraid of moral backlash that they’re now greenlighting policies that are abjectly insane.
“The California taxpayer is in a findom relationship with the state,” says Keeperman.
A financial domination relationship is a BDSM kink in which a submissive person gives money or gifts to a dominant person without expecting sexual favors in return. Like other related kinks, the submissive party seeks gratification through humiliation.
Keeperman argues that this same twisted dynamic is at play between the California government and its constituents.
“If you live in California and you’re, like, a good secular cosmopolitan lib … the moral decision-making is incredibly difficult. … Every decision, every behavior, every utterance is freighted with meaning and the potential for sort of catastrophic loss, or you’ll be accused of being immoral,” he explains.
“They’ve reached total fatigue, and the state just makes these demands of them — like you have to support on tax day the surgeries for transgender illegals — and they’re comforted by this because it’s like this relief,” Keeperman adds.
Rufo agrees. “The California voter is in a completely submissive moral position. It will accept any moral demand, any moral imposition, any moral cost.”
“California voters have essentially given a blanket yes, and then the layer of activists, administrators, and fanatics within the California state government processes the paperwork, so that in the end, trans illegals are getting free castration surgeries in San Francisco,” he continues.
Keeperman counters, “But the thing is, it’s not just that it’s yes to anything; it’s yes to things that are the most humiliating and the most extractive and the least practically or pragmatically productive.”
“So it’s not like they’re pining for, you know, efficient infrastructure and public transportation. I mean, I’m sure they say they want that, but that’s not what gets done,” he continues. “What gets done instead is this kind of stuff, which is just facially absurd.”
Rufo says the reason genuinely beneficial initiatives, like improved public transportation, never actually happen is because “building train tracks is hard,” while “cutting the penises off of illegal migrants” isn’t.
“As I discovered in a previous story in Oregon — I imagine the same is happening now in San Francisco — they’ve actually developed surgical castration robots, and they can castrate,” he says, “and in a single operating room, they can do two of these castrations per day now using these castration robots.”

Dead or vanishing scientists tied to NASA, JPL, and Los Alamos: Glenn Beck’s take may surprise you
A growing list of U.S. scientists and researchers — many tied to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, defense, nuclear, or advanced tech programs — have died or gone missing since 2023.
Nine names are dominating the headlines:
- Michael David Hicks — NASA JPL research scientist; died July 30, 2023, age 59; cause never publicly disclosed, no autopsy record found.
- Frank Maiwald — NASA JPL principal researcher (longtime colleague of Hicks); died July 4, 2024, age 61, in Los Angeles; cause not released, single obituary only, no autopsy reported.
- Anthony Chavez — Former Los Alamos National Laboratory employee; vanished May 2025, age ~78; left home on foot with belongings left behind; still missing.
- Monica Reza — Aerospace/materials scientist with NASA/JPL and AFRL-linked rocket propulsion work; disappeared while hiking in Angeles National Forest, June 22, 2025, age 60; still missing after extensive searches.
- Melissa Casias — Los Alamos National Laboratory administrative assistant (reported security clearance); vanished June 26, 2025, age 53; left after dropping off husband, phones factory-reset, car/belongings left behind, seen walking on highway; still missing.
- Nuno Loureiro — MIT plasma/fusion physicist and professor; shot multiple times at his Brookline, Massachusetts, home on December 15, 2025, and died December 16, age 47.
- Carl Grillmair — Caltech astrophysicist with significant NASA/JPL-supported work; shot and killed on his front porch in Llano, California, February 16, 2026, age 67; suspect arrested and charged.
- William Neil McCasland (Ret. Air Force Maj. Gen.) — Former AFRL commander with classified space/defense program ties; disappeared from his Albuquerque home on February 27, 2026, age 68; still missing, search ongoing.
News coverage has ramped up significantly in the past couple of weeks over this story and continues to garner national attention, but Glenn Beck thinks the conspiracy theory that these cases are all somehow connected jumps the gun.
On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn pushes back on the hype by illustrating how easily one can ignite a conspiracy theory.
Glenn notes that these nine cases, while speculated to be connected, are really “a mixed data set.”
“If you go through all of these things, there are some confirmed crimes with explanations. … Some of them are missing person cases. … Some are isolated homicides,” he says.
The narrative that these nine scientists worked in closely related fields, Glenn argues, is a stretch.
“Pharma, fusion, space. … That doesn’t mean that there isn’t a connection there, but nobody is showing the connection here. That’s not a tight network,” he says. “That’s anyone who is near defense-adjacent technology.”
He also rejects speculation of “institutional silence.”
“Universities and laboratories and government, they rarely disclose the details. Privacy, ongoing investigations, legal liability, phrases like ‘passed away suddenly’ — that’s standard. … That’s not evidence of concealment,” he says.
“I’m not one to dismiss conspiracy theories, but it seems like we go out looking for some things,” he continues.
To illustrate how easily a conspiracy theory can gain traction, Glenn shares some recent data from his own industry.
“In the last 12 months, I’ve had eight people in my industry die,” he says, citing longtime radio syndication executive Gary Krantz, Pittsburgh radio icon and conservative talk host Jim Quinn, award-winning Texas radio journalist Matt Thomas, WMAL radio host John Lyon, and conservative talk radio pioneer David Gold, among others.
“Of course, Charlie Kirk, we know,” he adds.
“None of these are connected, but if I wanted to, I could do [it],” says Glenn.
“I have a list of maybe 25 names. They all died in the last year.”
Glenn issues a stark warning: “Be very, very careful about propaganda. … There’s a lot of information out there, but you can take information and make it into anything you want.”

TPUSA Frontlines reporter brutally attacked by Antifa mob tells Sara Gonzales the full story mainstream media won’t touch
On April 11, TPUSA Frontlines reporter Savanah Hernandez was assaulted by multiple protesters who punched her, blew whistles in her face, and shoved her to the ground while she was filming an anti-ICE protest outside the Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota, with the mob chanting, “We are Antifa.”
Now she joins Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” to recount the brutal attack in detail and discuss the path to accountability.
After playing the clip capturing Hernandez being violently shoved in the back, Sara asks, “How do you feel? How is your body?”
Hernandez, insisting that she does not want to “over-dramatize” the situation, admits that she is “still in pain.”
“I really do feel like this was a brutal assault, and I still at this point am baffled as to why it took place because I wasn’t there to interview anybody. I was there to simply observe,” she says.
But even non-confrontational “point-and-shoot journalism” was enough cause for violence.
It didn’t take long before Hernandez was identified as a Turning Point USA reporter. The man who discovered her identity, she says, was William Scott Kelly (also known as “DaWokeFarmer”), who was previously arrested and charged for his role in storming Cities Church in St. Paul in January this year.
“This is the same guy who, you know, incited a mob against me on Saturday, and then that mob consisted of multiple people swinging sex toys in my face, hitting me with them,” Hernandez recounts.
She then addressed the main group that allegedly assaulted her.
“There were three individuals in particular — DeYanna, Chris, and Paige Ostroushko — that were extremely aggressive,” she says.
“[DeYanna] is the first one who came up to me, began shoving me, putting her fingers in my face. Her husband came up behind me and shoved me,” she says, noting that this all happened “before the actual assault.”
“Then we found another camera angle of [Chris] instructing his own daughter to, quote, ‘Blow the whistle in her effing ear.’ So he instructed his daughter to come up to me and assault me, and she did,” Hernandez continues, as Sara plays a video capturing this exact moment.
“I want people to understand that this response happened because I was standing on a public street filming a protest. That’s it. That was the response,” Hernandez says.
Instead of retaliating, Hernandez says she actually started asking the group standard questions like, “Why are you here?” and, “Why is this important to you?”
“So, I gave them the opportunity to even utilize my platform, talk to me, and they decided to twist everything into this narrative of, ‘It doesn’t matter — you’re bad and we’re going to brutally assault you,”’ Hernandez says.
“They pre-planned this attack. They coordinated it,” she insists. “They attacked me and then in live time tried to rewrite the narrative to say that I was the agitator.”
The attack was “so horrific,” she says, that even “left-wing streamers” were saying, “Yeah, we can’t support this.”
Sara is horrified by the assault on her friend and fellow journalist.
“Someone, for the love of God, lock these people up because they’re brutal criminals,” she pleads.
Justice appears to be under way.
Chris Ostroushko, Paige Ostroushko, and Lorenzo Amadeo Garcia (Paige’s boyfriend) have been arrested and had charges recommended by the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office in connection with the April 11 assault on Hernandez.
“It is now up to the county prosecutor essentially to decide whether or not they want to bring forward those charges,” says Hernandez, who admits that she “[doesn’t] have any faith in the state” because of how liberal Minneapolis is.
“Luckily, the feds are also involved. … Both DHS and the DOJ are involved, and I’m happy to see this because I do want federal charges brought forward,” she adds.

Sara Gonzales exposes CAIR’s latest ploy to turn Texas students into ‘little soldiers’ for Islam
BlazeTV host and investigative journalist Sara Gonzales has been extensively reporting on what she describes as the “Islamification of Texas” — the deliberate spread of Islamic influence in the state through mosques, schools distributing Qurans, hijabs, and other Sharia materials, taxpayer-funded Islamic institutions, “Sharia compounds,” halal practices, and cultural accommodations at the expense of traditional Texas and American values.
On this episode of “Come and Take It,” Sara exposes the Council on American-Islamic Relations — which Texas has designated as a foreign terrorist organization — for pushing whitewashed lessons about Islam to be included in Texas curriculum.
“Islamists have come to conquer. They can’t conquer without brainwashing the youth. … When you do that, you can indoctrinate little soldiers one generation at a time,” says Sara.
One way they accomplish this, she explains, is by changing the curriculum so that Islam is presented as “beautiful and flowery and tolerant and diverse,” while “the beatings, the honor killings, the terror, the Islamic slave trade … the third-world mentality” are intentionally omitted.
Last week, the Texas State Board of Education held its key April 2026 meeting for first reading/approval of the new social studies and reading curriculum changes set to take place in 2030.
CAIR representatives made an unexpected appearance and testified, urging the board to reject what they called “biased” revisions to the social studies TEKS that they argued unfairly link Islam to terrorism and downplay Muslim contributions to history.
According to Texas-based news outlet Texas Scorecard, “One of [CAIR’s] arguments was that the standards ‘lack a definition of terrorism and falsely associate it with one religion by using the controversial phrase ‘radical Islam.'”
Sara agrees that “radical Islam” is a controversial phrase but not for the same reason CAIR thinks it is. “It is a little redundant to say radical Islam because the entirety of Islam is inherently radical,” she says.
During the meeting, CAIR-Austin Operations Manager Shaimaa Zayan argued, “When terrorism is not clearly defined and used only in association with Muslims, we ignite hate and prejudice against the Texas Muslim community. Definitions and labels matter, and our students deserve standards that help them objectively and critically evaluate both historical and current events.”
But Sara says it doesn’t ignite hate and prejudice but rather rightful “fear and trepidation” based on Islam’s long history of terrorism.
“Your entire ideology essentially calls for terrorism, and you guys have your [feelings] hurt because we give you credit for that?” she counters. “It’s in your books. It’s in your teachings. If you don’t like it, I don’t know … go consult Allah or whatever.”

Glenn Beck reveals what everyone is missing about the Trump Jesus meme
Last Sunday, President Trump posted an AI-generated meme of himself dressed in white and red robes, his hand appearing to hold a glowing orb, while healing a sick person in a hospital bed. Many interpreted the image as Trump depicting himself as Jesus and were deeply offended by what they perceived as religious blasphemy. Others defended the post as an innocent joke.
But Glenn Beck says all of these reactions are missing the bigger issue.
Citing a Washington post article that framed the meme as the cause of rare, strong backlash and blasphemy accusations from Trump’s evangelical and Catholic supporters, Glenn begins by calling out the outlet for politically capitalizing on a tasteless joke in order to rile up and divide Trump’s supporters.
“It’s not like Jesus is Muhammad. You can do whatever you want to Jesus in this country and nobody cares, it seems,” he says. “Since when did the Washington Post care about something that could be looked upon as blasphemy for Christians?”
“They only care because it’s political,” he argues.
Glenn explains that social media has become a powerful tool that enemies — domestic and foreign — use to push propaganda, stir up dissent, and manufacture outrage.
Research has just shown that foreign powers are doing this in America right now.
Glenn cites recent data showing that “60% of the most viral posts on X about Iran in the first weeks of the fighting came from accounts based outside of the US. Foreign accounts generated 155 million views compared to 93 million from real American viewers.”
“That’s not organic outrage, okay? That’s Iran. That’s Russia. That’s China flooding the zone with deepfakes, doctored images of sunken ships, scripted narratives designed to make us fight one another,” he argues.
These foreign powers “don’t care if you love Trump or hate Trump,” Glenn continues.
“They just need everybody at each other’s throats.”
The biggest issue with Trump’s Jesus meme, says Glenn, isn’t what it might or might not have conveyed; the biggest issue is that it served as fuel for the social media outrage machine that keeps us fighting one another, which is exactly what our enemies want.
“[Social media] is a .50-caliber machine gun aimed at your head and this civilization every single day. It’s a nuclear weapon,” he warns.
