Despite Alexander Dugin’s push for a return to faith and traditional values, Glenn Beck believes the Russian political philosopher to be one of the most dangerous thinkers in the world.Even though Dugin is often seen as a conservative ally, Glenn warns that his “Fourth Political Theory,” Eurasianism, and mystical traditionalism represent a sinister threat to America, the West, and even the MAGA movement. Dugin’s “traditional values,” he argues, are a facade that will ultimately lead to chaos, apocalypse, and even Antichrist-like disruption.On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn puts Dugin under a microscope and warns that his appealing talk of faith and tradition is actually a dangerous deception that could lead millions into spiritual darkness. On March 30, Dugin posted a tweet that Glenn says exposes him for who he really is: Glenn’s head writer and researcher, Jason Buttrill, translates the tweet: “He’s asking both Sunni and Shia Muslims to come together for ultimate destruction basically — to join forces to fight against us.”“Final battle,” he explains, “can really only mean one thing, ... the legit final battle Armageddon that’s going to wash the world in blood.”According to Twelver Shi'ism (the largest branch of Shia Islam), there were 12 divinely chosen imams after the prophet Muhammad, with the 12th one — the Mahdi — currently hidden and expected to return at the end of times to bring justice.“This is like a Christian saying, ‘We got to unite right now and get into this war because there will be a massive slaughter; it’ll start the clock ticking, and we’ll have the seven years of tribulation and Jesus will come back,”’ Glenn says. “That’s exactly what this language means.”The “common enemy” Dugin speaks of, he insists, “is us.”The philosopher’s “mask has come off,” Glenn warns. Behind the traditional values that he uses to lure in the masses is “Antichrist thinking” that hungers for the “apocalypse.”Dugin’s tweet isn’t some one-off message either. “In 2024, he also said we should give nukes to the Palestinians and nukes to anyone who would fight against the real enemy — again, us,” Glenn recalls.Millions of Americans are falling prey to this messaging.“They are so deeply ... fogged that they would think that that’s a good idea,” Glenn says.But they will eventually wake up to find themselves caught in a dangerous trap — one that puts their very soul at stake, he warns. “My job and my faith requires me to be concerned about your soul. Over the Republic, your soul is at stake. People are going to end up on the wrong side.”“They’re just not even going to know it, and it will happen through people like [Dugin] that are telling you, ‘I understand how you feel. ... This country really has screwed you, hasn’t it? ... You know what the problem is? All this freedom.’”While it may sound nice initially, what this ideology ultimately leads to is pure dystopia.“You start rounding people up or you start shooting people,” Glenn says bluntly.We have but “two options,” he says: “We restore the Constitution and our principles” or “face a final battle.”To hear more of Glenn’s analysis, watch the video above.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.

Chick-fil-A employee Jaydon Cintron told WITN-TV he was taking his break on Good Friday morning when he found two white envelopes in the men's restroom at the restaurant in Kinston, North Carolina. Kinston is about 90 minutes southeast of Raleigh.“They were on the floor next to the toilet. My first thought was just like, ... OK, no, this isn’t happening,” Cintron told WITN. “Something is wrong.”'Money is useless without character.'But it was happening — and something most definitely was wrong for the person to whom the envelopes belonged.Return to senderYou see, one envelope was labeled First Citizens Bank, and it contained $5,000; the other envelope was labeled Truist Bank, and it contained $4,333, the station said.And how did Cintron react?He told the station he simply picked up the envelopes and brought them to human resources.A WITN reporter asked the 18-year-old why he didn't keep the cash for himself.Cintron replied to the station with the following: "That's not what Jesus would've done. That's not what God would've wanted."RELATED: The secret to Chick-fil-A's success has nothing to do with chicken 'True integrity'Cintron added to WITN that his faith guides his thought process: "Money is useless without character."Kinston Police Chief Keith Goyette told the station that "a lot of people will unfortunately take that money and run with it. But kudos to that employee at Chick-fil-A. [He] definitely deserves an award."John McPhaul, owner of the Kinston Chick-fil-A, noted to WITN that Cintron embodies the restaurant's principles: "True leadership, true integrity is doing the right thing when no one's watching. And Jay did that in this case, and he should be commended for it."The station said the restaurant tried to search security video in an attempt to identify the owner of the money but had no luck.However, Chief Goyette told WITN the owner of the money came forward Monday morning to claim the $9,333.It's own rewardCintron revealed to the station that the owner of the money approached him and offered him a $500 reward for his good deed, but Cintron initially declined and told the man he expected no reward for what his faith told him was the right thing to do."I don't want anything out of this," Cintron told the station, adding, "I did this because that's what Jesus would do."WITN noted that after declining the reward multiple times, the teenager finally accepted it — and numerous viewers agreed that Cintron deserves all the recognition he's receiving.Like Blaze News?

I’ve been fighting Duchenne muscular dystrophy for 40 years. My brothers Angelo and Antonio died from it at ages 20 and 22, respectively. Antonio died in 2015, when my son, Ryu, was barely a toddler and had already been diagnosed with the same terminal illness.My childhood memories are of praying for my brothers, caring for them with my mother, and Mom taking all five of her kids to church almost every day. I always asked God to heal my brothers, and — after Ryu was born — I added him to those prayers.I’ve been saying the same prayer for help and to be able to lend my voice for over 40 years. But I also went to God with another prayer — I asked that He would open the door that allowed me to share our family’s story. I didn’t know what that looked like, or when it would come, but I trusted in it. This year, that prayer was answered when I was asked to speak out not just on behalf of my brothers and son, but for every family that feels isolated because of a terminal rare disease. I visited Washington, D.C., to share my story with lawmakers from both parties as well as patient advocates and to ask them to push the Food and Drug Administration to stop standing in the way of drugs like Elevidys, the only gene therapy treatment for my son’s illness. The advocacy worked. I can’t say how much my own small voice, speaking up for the first time, helped, but so many people speaking out made a difference. The first indicator was when the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Director Dr. Vinay Prasad announced his resignation from the FDA just a week later — he leaves this month. Prasad blocked treatments, with the support of FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, that could have helped kids like Ryu all across the country to live.RELATED: Trump is keeping his word on health care costs Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesI’m just a mom. But we recently celebrated Easter, where a carpenter saved the world. He overcame the establishment of His time, which was willing to throw the vulnerable and sick to the side. He fell, but He didn’t falter — I hope to follow His example. As we were approaching Holy Thursday this year, Ryu was having a hard evening. He needed his Bipap machine to help his lungs function, as he so often does. But he looked at me — my 14-year-old wheelchair-bound boy who is the happiest kid I know — and said, “Mom, this sucks. But what you’re doing makes it a lot easier.”My story may not matter to FDA Commissioner Makary, who seems to have forgotten about Ryu and thousands of other kids like him. But God sees every hair on our heads. He named us before our parents knew us. And sometimes, like Gabriel told the prophet Daniel, prayers are answered long before we see their fruition.I’ve been saying the same prayer for help and to be able to lend my voice for over 40 years. To the world, Antonio and Angelo may be long deceased, but they are the foundation for how my husband and I have cared for Ryu. And God has allowed me to carry their stories from my home in El Paso to our nation’s capital.Commissioner Makary and Dr. Prasad may have forgotten that their job is to save lives, but God seems to have different plans. He’s just getting started with me in spreading His good news, and so far it has been amazing. But I’m also not surprised, because I knew God would take care of it all.Editor’s note: This article was originally published in the Christian Post.
