The biggest Democratic Party talking points are often met with absolute hypocrisy, and RFK Jr.’s former running mate, Nicole Shanahan, is well aware. “The left is cannibalizing the best of itself, and I say cannibalizing because it’s actually working against its own interest for compassion and social growth,” Shanahan tells Glenn Beck. “How it’s cannibalizing itself really exists in identity politics,” she adds. “I experienced it as a philanthropist, trying to go back to Oakland, and trying to really work on the issues that matter and identifying them with just a strict logical process.” That’s where she found that issues like homelessness, drug abuse, and education gaps actually had a lot to do with nutrition and health. “So I went about trying to fix that, and I will tell you, of all of the NGOs I was approached by and worked with — none were interested in real food. A lot of them were interested in activism and funneling millions of dollars into these regrant programs that don’t actually help people, and make them reliant on these nonprofit dollars,” she explains. Since the left refuses to address this and prefers pharmaceutical or divisive social solutions while simple proper nutrition can fuel a child’s success and keep them off the streets, Shanahan realized the left's entire framework is wrong. “The culture of that thinking about poor versus wealthy or black versus white was all wrong,” she continues. “And then realizing how many people are profiting off of that model of the world, that framework of the world, it’s very predatory.” Not only does Shanahan believe the left is consistently working against its own interests in that arena — but also in its claim that democracy is at stake if Donald Trump wins the presidency. “In 2020, I didn’t believe the narrative coming from the right that the election was stolen,” Shanahan tells Glenn. “I do now.” “What brought you there?” Glenn asks. While campaigning with RFK Jr., certain states began suing them to get them removed from the ballots. “Which I can’t believe is even legal, that a political opponent can sue you to take you off the ballot. But it’s apparently common practice for the Democrats, and the Republicans don’t do this,” she explains. The lawsuit brought by New York really opened her eyes, because “this was a judge that was not acting on behalf of the American public, this was a judge acting on behalf of the Democratic Party.” “I think through this process, and then realizing the extent of how much they’re willing to denigrate the Democratic process in this country to win, and how entitled they feel doing so,” she continues, “this made me realize that something was very, very wrong.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Three suspects allegedly were trying to burglarize cars in Texas when a homeowner and a son interrupted them, causing one suspect to accidentally shoot a getaway driver in the neck. Police say the three suspects were checking for unlocked vehicles parked on Wildrose Avenue in Alamo Heights on Sunday when they were spotted by a homeowner in the area. The 16-year-old was driving a stolen getaway car. 'Probation was revoked and he was placed in juvenile detention.' The homeowner and his son confronted the suspects, who tried to drive away. Two of the suspects were armed and tried to fire warning shots to scare them away, but police said that one gunshot struck a 16-year-old getaway driver in the neck. Police said the teenager who was shot was already on probation for vehicle burglary and vehicle theft committed earlier in the month. That probation was revoked, and he was placed in juvenile detention. The injured teenager's condition was not released to the public. Officials also said that the car driven in the alleged burglary scheme had been stolen because the owners had left the doors unlocked and the keys inside. They are cautioning members of the public against leaving valuables in their vehicles and asked that they make sure to lock their cars. A KENS-TV news report about the incident can be viewed on YouTube. Alamo Heights is a suburb of San Antonio with a population of about 7,400 residents. Like Blaze News?

Donald Trump has survived his second assassination attempt in as many months. The first attempt, in Butler, Pennsylvania, left Trump bloodied in front of a large crowd. Cameras captured the real estate tycoon’s defiant reaction.For years, Democratic politicians and the media had escalated their rhetoric against the presidential candidate, frequently comparing him to Hitler and labeling him an existential threat to democracy. The chattering class continued to express their hatred, but for at least a few weeks, they seemed to recognize the need to tone things down.The media has been grooming radicals for years, hoping someone would eventually kill Donald Trump.With a second gunman attempting to take Trump’s life, the left has dropped any pretense of moderation. Progressives have embraced the idea that Trump is responsible for the attacks on his own life, further escalating their rhetorical justifications. They’ve decided that political violence should become a regular feature of American life — and that only one side should wield it.The shooting in Pennsylvania this past July occurred at a public rally, making the events well-documented. However, the shooter remained intentionally shrouded in mystery. Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old involved, had a suspiciously thin social media presence, and officials seemed determined to obscure his motives. The FBI even lied under oath about his internet postings.Trump’s most recent assailant, 58-year-old Ryan Routh, has a more visible public profile filled with political opinions. Routh’s politics are clear: He displayed a Biden-Harris bumper sticker and made 19 donations to Democratic causes. A strong supporter of the war in Ukraine, he even spoke to the New York Times and appeared in an Azov Brigade propaganda video, where he expressed his willingness to recruit and fight for the foreign nation.Despite a checkered legal history, including a standoff with police involving a fully automatic weapon, Routh was somehow permitted to travel to Ukraine in 2022. He intended to serve in the foreign legion but was rejected because of his age.Both Facebook and Twitter took down the shooter’s social media accounts, but before they were scrubbed, users captured several posts. In these posts, Routh echoed the rhetoric of both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, claiming that “DEMOCRACY is on the ballot, and we cannot lose.”While more information will likely emerge, it’s already clear that Routh was a regular consumer and firm believer in the radicalizing propaganda frequently pushed by MSNBC and the White House. When liberal influencers compared Trump to Hitler, Routh took them seriously. When they said Trump was an existential threat to the country who couldn’t be allowed to return to office, Routh took action.The media has been grooming radicals for years, hoping someone would eventually kill Donald Trump. In my piece written after the first Trump assassination attempt, I detailed this process and predicted that the left would continue this pattern until another shooter succeeded in murdering the former president.The fact that the left no longer feels the need to tap the brakes after a second assassination attempt is a terrible sign. After Democrats failed to remove Trump from the ballot or jail him on fabricated charges, Joe Biden lost the first presidential debate. Despite this defeat, Biden ignored calls from his own party to step aside and vowed to continue his run.It wasn’t until the first assassin failed to kill Trump that Biden finally relinquished his candidacy. He did so through a random post on Twitter, with no personal verification, which I’m sure was totally voluntary.Trump managed to defeat Kamala Harris in the second presidential debate, despite facing not only his Democratic opponent but also the two ABC moderators. Another devastating debate loss, and yet another assassination attempt followed. Progressives, unable to compete in traditional electoral politics, are creating a climate of political terror. They jail their opponents when possible and resort to assassination when that fails.Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time left-wing political terror has dominated the American landscape. In 1901, an anarchist assassinated President William McKinley. The 1970s saw a wave of left-wing terror, with over 2,000 bombs planted in 1972 alone by radical progressives. This normalization of political violence from the left has been largely erased from public memory, while many of the perpetrators have been elevated to prestigious positions within the ruling elite. Bill Ayers, a leader of the radical Weather Underground, became a professor at the University of Chicago and a mentor to Barack Obama.The left has always celebrated and elevated its radicals, including terrorists, and it is now seeking a return to a climate dominated by political violence.In the 1930s, Spain was engulfed in political turmoil. Various factions, from communists to liberals, monarchists to fascists, co-existed. These groups eventually formed two distinct coalitions representing the broader left and right. The deep cultural divide was fueled by incendiary political rhetoric, and assassination attempts became common. The Spanish prime minister and several party leaders were killed, leading to the formation of partisan militias and the eventual declaration of formal hostilities.When one political faction decides violence is an acceptable tactic, their opponents' options quickly narrow. The left uses its media dominance and institutional power to portray Trump as an agent of division and hate. But when bullets are flying in only one direction, it becomes obvious which side is responsible for the political violence that has become routine. If progressives continue feeding their supporters a steady diet of apocalyptic rhetoric designed to provoke extreme reactions, a portion of that audience will take it seriously. The left is so self-righteous in its beliefs and so confident in its power that leftists genuinely think they can encourage multiple assassination attempts on the opposition candidate without facing any consequences.Democratic politicians and their media allies are treading on extremely dangerous ground. This kind of escalation is a disastrous game with no winners. If any cooler heads remain on the political left, they must stop their party’s embrace of political violence. The path they’re speeding down leads only to a terrible outcome, one that no true patriot would want for this country.

Democratic President Joe Biden finally convened a cabinet meeting after nearly a year, but he allowed first lady Jill Biden to speak for most of the bizarre event. Biden said that he brought the first lady in order to speak about women's health issues and then handed off the meeting to her. 'An unelected person married to the mostly incapacitated elected president is overseeing the first Cabinet meeting in forever.' Critics pounced on the president for yet more evidence that he was not in full control of his faculties while also reserving some anger at the media for not asking enough questions. "If Joe Biden was mentally competent, there would be no reason for Jill Biden to run this Cabinet meeting," replied Pradheep Shanker of the National Review. "This is tacit admission that Biden isn't running the White House. Shameful behavior by anyone on the inside that knows the truth." "Jill Biden just chaired a cabinet meeting and the 'democracy is on the ballot' people are saying nothing," responded John Podhoretz of Commentary magazine. "Oh neat, an unelected person married to the mostly incapacitated elected president is overseeing the first Cabinet meeting in forever. Does anyone have any questions about this?" asked CNN commentator Mary Katharine Ham. "It’s all extremely normal.""Who is running our country!!?!!? Where is Joe!!? Americans deserve to know how decisions are being made at the White House and who is making them," read another popular tweet. Others pointed out that the presidential seal had the president's signature underneath and then Jill Biden's signature added to it. The media was hammered by many on the right for providing cover for Biden's diminishing mental capabilities before he stepped down from his re-election campaign and endorsed his vice president. Among the revelations released after Biden stepped down was that he had not had a cabinet meeting in months. Like Blaze News?
