‘Pretty convenient’: Popular French right-wing politician JAILED, barred from 2027 election



Right-wing French politician Marine Le Pen has been sentenced to four years in jail and barred from running for public office for five years, which means she will not be eligible to run in France’s 2027 presidential election. The Paris court presided over by Judge Bénédicte de Perthuis found her guilty of embezzling over €4 million in European Union funds.

It’s a huge devastation, as Le Pen has been leading in the polls.

“Now that seems pretty convenient, doesn’t it?” says Glenn Beck, noting that Nicolas Sarkozy and François Fillon, two prominent right-wing French politicians, were also convicted of crimes in the last five years.

“It seems to be happening a lot in Europe, where they just seem to be finding these crimes,” he says skeptically.

It almost reminds him of the way Donald Trump was indicted on 91 criminal counts across four separate cases during the Biden administration, all in an effort to thwart Trump's 2024 presidential bid.

But the lawfare waged against him and his supporters wasn’t enough to stop the people from re-electing him. If anything, it only served to fuel the MAGA fire.

“The people get pissed off that you're trying to make the decision for them,” says co-host Stu Burguiere of the lawfare staged against President Trump and likely Le Pen as well. “The French people get annoyed at that, I think. At least I know the American people do.”

“You're exactly right. It actually galvanizes people because they no longer trust the system. They're like, ‘What the hell? Why are you taking my choice away?”’ Glenn agrees.

The French people are capable of “[looking] at these allegations” and “[making] the decision” for themselves on whether Marine Le Pen can be trusted as president," says Stu. “People did that with all the allegations against Donald Trump and they said, ‘You know what? I don't see anything here.”’

But in France, the judges know better than the people, apparently.

“France, I know I don’t speak your language, but … you should probably wake up,” warns Glenn.

Liz Wheeler REVEALS ‘excruciating’ childbirth scare with ‘traditional’ medicine



While 33 weeks pregnant with her second child, Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” began experiencing what she calls a “strange symptom” — when she’d lie down to take a nap, her heart would start racing.

When she reached out for medical help, none of the midwives she’d been working with were on call — so she had to seek help from a midwife who was “not particularly natural-minded.”

“As you know, medical providers look at things through a lens of liability. Again, you can blame them as individuals or you can blame the system, because how else are they supposed to operate when we have such a litigious society,” Wheeler tells Dr. Stu and midwife Blyss on the “Birthing Instincts” podcast.


This midwife began insisting that Wheeler had a blood clot, which Wheeler and her husband, who’s a medical provider, had already ruled out.

“She wouldn’t see me until I went to the emergency room to make sure that I didn’t have a blood clot before she would listen to my baby’s heartbeat, and it turned out to be a six-hour experience,” she explains, adding, “Of course, I didn’t have a blood clot.”

However, during the six-hour workup, it was discovered that Wheeler had some form of infection, which she had no symptoms for.

“I was just looking to get home, but they had me hooked up to the straps and they were like, ‘You’re having contractions every two minutes,’” she says, recalling that this is when they said they needed to do a cervical check on her.

“This is the moment that if I could redo everything about this situation, I should have been like, ‘Trust yourself Liz, trust your body, trust your intuition, trust your knowledge, decline it and go home and go to bed.’ That’s what I should have done,” she continues.

“It was the most painful, most excruciating, most brutal cervical check I’ve ever experienced,” she says. “Within 90 seconds of that cervical check I had a real contraction, it put me into labor, and I started having active labor contractions coming every 90 seconds where I couldn’t speak.”

This is when the hospital, because it doesn't have an advanced NICU for babies born before 36 weeks, called an ambulance to haul her off to another hospital.

When Wheeler’s doula showed up, she began rubbing Wheeler’s back.

“I ended up falling asleep while she was rubbing me, and the contractions stopped. They completely stopped,” Wheeler explains. “I spent the next three days in the hospital, them monitoring me. They gave me another shot of that steroid, which, by the way, totally tweaked me out for like a week.”

Wheeler ended up carrying the baby for several more weeks and was able to give birth without needing the NICU.

“Here’s the thing that really triggered me. They were blaming the pre-term labor on this [infection], and I was like, ‘No, this preterm labor was because of this really, yes, really vigorous, really invasive, cervical check,’” she says.

Did ‘Snow White’ actress Rachel Zegler DESTROY her career?



“Snow White” actress Rachel Zegler has stepped into the national spotlight after her starring role in the remake of the classic Disney film — but not because of her performance.

Zegler has been accused of hurting the film by Jonah Platt, son of producer Marc Platt, with comments she’s made in interviews and on social media.

In an Instagram comment, Platt claimed his father was forced to fly into New York City in August to confront the actress regarding a “free Palestine” comment she added to a promotional message posted on X.


When one commenter called Platt’s father “creepy as hell” for attempting to control Zegler’s social media posts, Platt wrote back in a now-deleted post: “You really want to do this? Yeah, my dad, the producer of [an] enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20 year old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for.”

“This is called adult responsibility and accountability,” Platt continued. “And her actions clearly hurt the film’s box office. Free speech does not mean you’re allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions. Tens of thousands of people worked on that film and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful. Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged.”

Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” couldn’t agree more with Platt.

“I don’t think I could have said it better,” Glenn says. “I would have said it meaner, perhaps.”

“This is how narcissistic our society has become. It’s all about me. It has nothing to do with the blue-collar workers that are depending on that movie to be successful, has nothing to do with the thousands of people, the tens of thousands of people that worked on that movie. No, it’s all about her,” he continues.

“You don’t have free speech without consequence. You can say whatever you want, but she was on the Disney dime,” he adds.

Brilliant: Trump’s election fraud EO locks down voting while exposing the cheaters



On March 25, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” The order requires voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, mandates that all ballots be received by Election Day, strongly encourages paper ballots, and gives federal agencies (like DHS) power to review state election practices. States that fail to comply risk losing federal funding.

While there is certain to be pushback from the radical left, anyone with an ounce of sense knows this is a big win for election security, which a huge percentage of Americans no longer have faith in.

“This would prevent the radical left from being able to do almost everything that they have done to us,” says Liz Wheeler.

The simplicity of voter ID and paper ballots to solve the complex problem of election fraud is further proof of Donald Trump’s brilliance, she says.

On top of that, it will expose who wants to cheat.

“Listen to who opposes this, and you'll know who the cheaters are. ... There is no legitimate reason to oppose any of those things. If you oppose it, you are a cheater,” says Liz matter of factly.

She’s less excited, however, about the Crossfire Hurricane EO that will declassify files related to the FBI’s probe into Trump’s 2016 campaign and alleged Russian interference.

“This is good that he declassified this,” but “my expectations are low for the same reason that my expectations were low for the JFK files: I don’t expect that those in the FBI who were so corrupt that they staged lawfare against the president of the United States, illegally spied on him, lied and falsely accused him of colluding with Russia – I don't expect that they would have retained a file or a file cabinet full of incriminating information against themselves,” she says.

The only reason we know the truth about Crossfire Hurricane, Liz argues, is because “we the people — independent journalists — recorded what happened and investigated what happened.”

She doesn’t anticipate these files will have any kind of smoking gun because the FBI wouldn’t dare leave such a thing sitting around awaiting discovery.

Two things that WILL happen if RFK Jr. successfully bans Big Pharma TV ads



According to numerous reports, HHS secretary RFK Jr. is planning to push for the banning of Big Pharma television advertisements. The United States is one of the only countries that permits direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising, and Kennedy has long condemned it.

If the reports are true and he’s successful at banning pharmaceutical advertising on TV, it would spark “a massive societal earthquake,” says Liz Wheeler.

Two things are going to happen, she says.

1. Corporate media sinks

“Mainstream media is just a fake business,” says Liz. “It is artificially propped up by massive ad dollars from Big Pharma ads, not because of the return on investment.”

“Big Pharma buys so many TV ads” for the sheer purpose of “[preventing] reporting on the corruption of Big Pharma.”

But if pharma companies are banned from buying those ads and those dollars disappear, so do the networks.

“You will watch before your very eyes as highly paid mainstream media anchors are fired. Networks are going to panic; some of them are even going to shut down as paychecks aren't paid to staff,” says Liz.

2. We finally get honest reporting

“When the gravy train of Big Pharma ad dollars to TV networks stops, we will suddenly see reporting on the corruption of Big Pharma, of these drugs that don't do what they claim that they do, on vaccines, and even the harm that comes from some vaccines,” Liz predicts.

“We'll see reporting on medical associations like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association and government regulation agencies like the CDC and the FDA,” she continues. “You're going to see reporting that was previously prohibited because the ad money that pharma paid these networks was really just a payoff for the networks’ silence.”

“It was a money laundering scheme all along to keep reporters silent about the abuses coming out of pharma.”

The disturbing history of NPR CEO Katherine Maher



Congress is actively debating defunding PBS and NPR — and thank goodness. The networks are leftist propaganda mills.

On Wednesday, the House Oversight Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, chaired by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), held a contentious hearing, during which the panel grilled NPR CEO Katherine Maher and PBS CEO Paula Kerger over bias and federal funding.

Maher’s hearing was particularly heated, as various committee members skewered her for the network’s failure to cover certain topics and Maher’s past tweets.

Glenn Beck and co-host of “The Glenn Beck Program” Stu Burguiere were glad to see Maher finally being forced to reckon with her troubling past.

To say Maher has an “interesting work history” is an understatement. Before she was the CEO of NPR, Maher worked for the U.S. State Department and the National Democratic Institute, “one of the main branches of the National Endowment for Democracy.”

Maher was specifically employed at the NDI “during the Arab Spring” when the agency was actively “promoting” the movement.

From 2014 to 2021, she served as the chief communications officer and then the executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that runs Wikipedia. During her stint at the company, Wikipedia “changed” and “started controlling information.”

Journalist Christopher Rufo “all but called her a CIA agent,” says Glenn, adding that he’s long known “she's part of this whole deep state revolutionary thing.”

The fact that Maher is “currently on the board of [the Signal Foundation]” — the organization that oversees Signal, an encrypted communication platform — is further evidence that she’s a deep stater, he says.

“What she has done is not just work in these places and not just have influence in these stories that keep coming up over and over again,” says Stu. Maher has “explicitly [stated] her crazy positions over and over and over and over again on Twitter.”

During the hearing, she was questioned about these tweets by Texas Rep. Bandon Gill (R).

In January 2020, Maher, quoting Ta-Nehisi Coates’ article “The Case for Reparations,” tweeted: “‘America begins in black plunder and white democracy.’ I appreciate the day off today to finally fully read The Case for Reparations.”

When Gill read this tweet, Maher said she didn’t recall ever posting the statement and claimed she never read “The Case for Reparations.”

Even if that’s true, then “she was just being a shill to promote this point of view,” says Glenn.

Gill also referred to a tweet Maher posted in May 2020: “So! America is addicted to white supremacy and that’s the real issue.”

Her response was to claim that her position has “evolved” since then.

Google founder's ex-wife speaks out about evils of ‘tech mafia’



The Big Tech elites have been laying “groundwork” to enable the policies of the Great Reset, and no one knows it better than Silicon Valley attorney, entrepreneur, RFK Jr. running mate, and ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin — Nicole Shanahan.

“Their money especially was being conscripted to set the groundwork for the Great Reset, specifically through a network of NGO advisors, relationship with Hollywood, relationship with Davos, and their own companies,” Shanahan told Allie Beth Stuckey in a recent interview on “Relatable.”

“If you look at who’s on these boards, who hangs out with each other, how the culture of tech wealth works,” Shanahan continued, “it’s a really small group of people, and it’s a really small group of people making these decisions.”


Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” is well aware of plans for the Great Reset, but he’s shocked that Shanahan is warning about them.

“It is amazing to go from five years ago, everybody saying, ‘That’s crazy, that’s not happening,’ to the former wife of the head of Google coming out and saying, ‘Yeah, this was all orchestrated, we didn’t even know what we were into as wives of the Silicon Valley mafia wives,’ as she calls them,” Glenn tells Stuckey.

“She said that she really saw the reality of evil, the reality of hell, when she was deep into politics, and that kind of started to shift her perspective on, ‘Wait, who are the bad guys here? What’s going on? All of this evil is being done under the guise of really good intentions, especially in Silicon Valley,’” Stuckey explains.

And when Shanahan’s daughter was diagnosed with autism, she started attempting to figure out what could have caused it.

“As she was digging into the research, she found some things that kind of have been dubbed as right-wing conspiracy theories about different environmental factors, even pharmaceutical factors that could possibly cause some symptoms of autism,” Stuckey says.

“But she had a hard time researching because the search engine that almost everyone uses censors that kind of information. And, well, she was married to the co-founder of Google, who was playing a part in censoring that information, not only inhibiting her research for her daughter, but research for the effects of the COVID-19 vaccine,” she continues.

“And she shared that that caused, understandably, a lot of conflict in her life and still does,” she adds.

Glenn Beck vs. Ohio AG: Is Clearview AI a crime buster or Big Brother's blueprint?



Clearview AI has stirred up quite a controversy, and when you see what the company has been up to, it’s easy to see why.

The corporation has built a robust online database of over 40 billion facial images, which it gathered from various online sources, including social media, news sites, and random corners of the web. This has been done without explicit consent from the people pictured.

The software is pitched primarily to law enforcement, private security, and some corporate clients who need to identify people quickly. Users can upload a photo of a face, and it scans the database for matches and links to where the images originated — like a LinkedIn profile or a Facebook post.

Glenn Beck says it’s trouble. While it may be useful in certain situations, put in the hands of a rogue government, Clearview AI becomes a tool for totalitarianism.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, however, is fighting to expand Clearview’s use in court cases.

On a recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” the two engaged in a debate.

In a recent Ohio case, law enforcement used Clearview AI to match a blurry surveillance photo to a suspect. This information was then used to obtain a search warrant, which resulted in cops locating a gun and arresting the suspect. The judge, however, threw out the evidence because the warrant paperwork didn’t mention Clearview’s role, its disclaimer about not being court-ready evidence, or other possible matches it flagged.

That’s when Yost’s team stepped in and filed an appeal, arguing that the police’s use of Clearview AI was legitimate and that the evidence should stand. As of now, the court’s decision is undecided.

While Glenn agrees that Clearview technology “is a great thing to get the bad guys,” it’s “exactly the kind of technology” China uses “to track everybody.”

“I worry about that, too,” says Yost.

However, he argues that Clearview AI technology is not a violation of the Fourth Amendment because the images it gathers are from the public domain. It’s different, he says, than the Supreme Court case Kyllo v. United States, in which the court ruled that the cop who used thermal imaging technology to scan for marijuana growing in Danny Kyllo’s home violated his privacy rights.

But Glenn isn’t convinced.

“I am very, very concerned about this slippery, almost straight-down slope to the cage that AI could build for people,” he says. “We can have all of the best intentions, but it falls into the wrong hands, we lose several elections in a row, and it’ll be a prison; it'll be a panopticon like it is in China.”

“I couldn't agree with you more. It scares me what the government can do about this. If you think back to the Biden administration and social media and what they were doing — you multiply that, make that geometrically larger and that's the potential. We've got to be vigilant,” says Yost.

Why Kid Rock isn't terrified of AI music



Musicians, artists, and writers have notoriously been the group most against artificial intelligence taking over their line of work — but some of them are embracing it rather than fighting it.

And Kid Rock is one of them.

“Are you worried about art with AI?” Glenn Beck asks the country music star on “The Glenn Beck Program.”

“Not really, no. Everybody else is,” he responds.

“The way I look at it is, I looked at, like, Napster when that started, and I was like, ‘What’s going on?’” Kid Rock tells Glenn. “All the artists were up in arms, and the record companies wanted us to get behind, ‘They’re stealing, they’re pirating music.’”


“I could care less, I make all my money live,” he continues, noting that the technology behind AI is something he could use to his benefit.

“So I can give you some a capellas and my vocals, and you can model my voice, and then you can put it on your system, and however many people want to write songs for me with my voice can write them?” he asks, adding, “That’s kind of cool.”

“Let’s say I got a million people writing songs for me, if one of those people nails it, and they come up with this life-changing song, it’s great, I go play it live, I’m not seeing the evil in here yet,” he says.

Not only that, but because Kid Rock doesn’t believe there’s any chance of stopping it, there’s no reason to fight it either.

“We’re not going to stop it. I know that much. You are not going to stop it. So it’s like, let’s figure out how we use it as a new tool,” he adds.

New ‘Snow White’ is so bad, THIS leftist outlet called it ‘a Marxist call to arms'



Disney’s new live-action “Snow White” movie starring Latina actress Rachel Zegler debuted this weekend after years in the making.

Long before it hit the box office, the film was expected to be a giant flop due to Zegler’s negative comments about the beloved 1937 classic, casting controversies, and the wokification of the original plot line.

And it turns out that the film’s premature criticism was dead on. The movie sucks.

To get the scoop on what exactly makes “Snow White” such a catastrophic failure that people are celebrating its box office flop, Glenn Beck invites Nerdrotic’s Gary Buechler to “The Glenn Beck Program.”


“I’m ecstatic at this failure,” says Buechler. “Rachel Zegler has become the symbol of everything that's wrong with modern Hollywood right now, and seeing it just crumble does my heart good.”

“Hollywood doesn't know how to be good anymore. They are so black-pilled; they are so dystopian; they are so nihilistic,” he tells Glenn.

According to Buechler, this woke version of “Snow White” is “essentially feminism versus femininity."

“Disney took the film that built their empire — that is a paradigm shift movie, that is sacred text in Hollywood — and just threw away the original script and gave us, and I'm not kidding, communist propaganda,” he condemns.

Buechler explains that in the film, Snow White’s parents run “a socialist utopia” where all equally share the bounty of the land, the handsome prince is replaced by a thief, and Snow White is more interested in leading than finding love.

The producers, given additional time due to the Hollywood strike, even made some edits to their original plan in response to the widespread criticism. But they still failed so miserably that even the BBC called the film “a Marxist call to arms.”

“This has to be the closest a Disney princess film has got to paraphrasing 'The Communist Manifesto,'” BBC’s Nicholas Barber wrote.

As for Zegler’s career, Buechler says, “It’s over.”

“She goes to Broadway, that would be my guess,” he says.
