‘Ancient, primal, vicious’ — Glenn Beck's fiery reaction to heinous Boulder terror attack

On June 1, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, a man named Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, who Department of Homeland Security officials claim was in the country illegally, attacked a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration with a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, injuring eight people. According to reports, Soliman yelled, "Free Palestine!" during the attack, which the FBI is investigating as a targeted act of terrorism.

“Evil struck,” says Glenn Beck. “Not with a drone, not with a bomb, not with a cyber attack, or a coordinated cell, but with fire — ancient, primal, vicious.”

Glenn describes Soliman as “an illegal immigrant whose Visa had expired not once but two times.”

The flames from Soliman’s Molotov cocktails “quickly licked up the curtains, the memories, the photographs, and the people,” he laments.

One of the people injured was an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor — “a woman who escaped Hitler’s oven only to be set ablaze here in the nation that was supposed to be the world’s safe harbor,” says Glenn. “She survived last century’s greatest evil only to be hunted in this century in this country.”

The attack makes him wonder “how many more like [Soliman] are here hiding in plain sight, walking amongst us.”

“Why, two decades after 9/11, have we learned nothing?” he asks, noting that “people overstaying their visas” was a major reason 9/11 happened.

The Patriot Act — a law that expanded government surveillance and law enforcement powers to combat terrorism following the 9/11 attacks — “has done an awful lot of things but apparently not what stopped what caused 9/11,” Glenn condemns. “Do you remember the commissions? Do you remember the hearings? Do you remember all of the promises? They meant nothing.”

As long as we continue “trading security for ideology, borders for feelings, sovereignty for slogans,” these attacks won’t stop, he warns.

“When will you say you’ve had enough?”
