GLENN BECK, HOST: I'm not sure if you've seen the news yet today. But I want to verify something that is true. I am going to leave this program later this year, but I'm not leaving Fox. And I will explain at the end of the program. There is time for that.
But tonight and tomorrow, I want to ask you to DVR this program. There is much more important news than what's the big fat chunky guy on TV going to do in his future?
This show has always been about our country's future. That's why you and I meet her every day at 5:00.
For several years, I talked about the perfect storm. And I have been saying for all those years to look for certain things to happen. I have in my research, in my reading of crazy, evil books like this one, "The Coming Insurrection," I could pinpoint the signs and look -- because I take these people at their words -- I can see the road signs. They are happening and they are stories that if taken by themselves aren't the most incredibly earth-shattering news and things that may even have happened before.
But when you put them in context of everything going on around it, then it can be the Archduke Ferdinand moment. It's why when I said about Tunisia, what, January 31st, when I saw Tunisia fall, I said I think this is the Archduke Ferdinand moment -- a moment that goes unnoticed and triggers something huge. Archduke Ferdinand, the guy who was shot and ended up being World War I.
There are a lot of things going on that have happened before -- energy prices going up, food inflation, spontaneous riots, troubles with the unions, violence, political unrest -- all of these things have happened before. And all of these things have been happening for a while. But now, they're starting to snowball, cascade. I'll explain in a minute.
This morning, I got up and reading through. I have a bunch of amazing -- we call them -- virtual researchers. They're all around the country. Most of them are college students. And they finish their college work and they work looking things up things for me and trying to follow stories that I just can't follow, because I'm not available 24 hours a day.
Last night, I went to bed and I started reading what the virtual researchers gave to me to read last night. I saw something that I think is a signal of something very, very ugly. And a few pieces are beginning to come together.
This is -- these are isolated stories here. These are all stories that this was a shooting of a son of a poet in Mexico that just happened. This was just a gathering of the unions at the Peace Arch. This is George Soros meeting about Bretton Woods 3, a story that's barely even covered. Most people don't even know.
Ivory Coast is having trouble. We have Hamas down here. We have something spreading all across Africa. And something very important happened in France that you need to know about. Of course, the crisis in Japan and the earthquake down here.
It's -- this is a global time we live in. And if you -- if you look at the story just as one isolated incident, you will, o course, say it's nuts. Why are you making such a big deal out of it? But if you learn to look at the world like this, what you will see coming is going to sweep the world here and here and here. And it's going to get faster and faster.
I told you about this book, I think it was two summers ago, "The Coming Insurrection." I told you, what was it, I know it was July. What year, Tiffany?
TIFFANY, 'BECK' PRODUCER: 2009.
BECK: 2009, almost two years ago. Over the next couple of days, you will understand that this book which I told you to read because it was coming, what is described in here, maybe by September you will say this is a history book. It is happening. We may have to rename this summer, "the summer of insurrection," or "the summer of rage."
If you brush off the possibility, that's cool. It's -- turn the channel. I don't really care.
But let me remind you -- let me remind you of the normalcy bias. I talked to you about it last night. The normalcy bias is when people are faced with radical change or a traumatic event, they'll just continue on as if things are just normal.
On 9/11, when the buildings were on fire, planes were on the floor below them or a couple of floors above them and people are like, "I got to turn off my computer so when I come back" -- when? You're coming back into the building? There's a 727 in your building. You're not coming back.
But they did it. They were looking for anything normal.
In 2005, the bombings in the London subway -- the fire was still burning. And people are walking down into the subway. The smoke is billowing out and the subways are on fire, and people are just walking down into the subway as if the trains are still running. They weren't.
It's normal. It's the normalcy bias. And that's why you have a hard time breaking through to your friends because they don't want to think of these things.
I told my daughter -- I told my daughter the other day, I said, "What do you think about these things?" And she said, "Dad, I try not to think of these things because I have my life and I want my life and I get it."
But you have to stop convincing yourself or your friends, too, that "Oh, it can't happen."
