I was contacted by a fellow researcher asking if I had seen the video recently put out by Glenn Beck. I had briefly looked at it, but admittedly dismissed it, because it appeared to be repeating information I had already reported on. I did take the time to listen to it in its entirety and discovered it went into great detail about things I did not discuss in my previous article on FORTRESS. So THANK YOU, Laurie Murphy, for bringing this to my attention. I will also add information I taught in 2014 to this article. Let me say, I wholeheartedly encourage information referral, as it is easy to miss or overlook something, in this fast-moving world we live in.
Now, on to the video:
Glenn Beck said, “I want to tell you to prepare for impact. And this is something that I don’t say lightly.” He added that you can dismiss it and might be right, but he wants to show a trend. “Last time I said something like this was 2007… And you know what happened in 2008. I want you to prepare for impact.”
Prepare for impact. Do not panic. Do not change your life. Make plans for Christmas. … When a pilot says brace for impact, he’s not screaming. He’s calm because he knows what’s going to happen next. … Start with simple things. If they say three days, do two weeks. Just brace for impact.
— Glenn Beck
On October 28, 2026, Glenn Beck posted a video titled “I Haven’t Given a Warning Like This Since 2007.” You can watch it here:
The same warning appeared on his radio program that day.
He said the UK government launched a national campaign called
Be Ready.
I also reported on this (see link at bottom) however he went into much more detail.
He said Households should have water and food that does not need to be cooked, medicines, a flashlight, a handheld radio, and enough cash for three days.
Officials said 72 hours is usually how long it takes for government help to arrive. After that, things start to fall apart.
Look at Hurricane Katrina. Things held up fairly well for 72 hours. Once help doesn’t arrive, the bad guys start to think they can take control.
Germany advises provisions for 10 days. France, Ireland, and the Netherlands are pushing 72-hour emergency kits. The Dutch specify cash in a drawer. Sweden has updated a Cold War-era handbook that reminds citizens of their duty to help in war and to be self-sufficient. Switzerland has resumed serious preparedness after decades.
The European Union is telling its 450 million people to prepare. Its crisis commissioner called “Being Ready for Anything” the new European way of life. Cash is stressed because digital payments and banking can fail.
He then turned to the United States.
As I reported in my previous article (link below), Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced the Fortress program on September 30, 2026.
Fox News reported on October 25 that every major military base in the continental United States is to be ready to run for at least 90 days without any outside help.
Glenn Beck said bases must be able to close those gates and run for 90 days with their own energy, water, fuel, food, and private communications. Some bases are going to get their own small nuclear reactors.
He said that means no help is coming. The Pentagon has said that in the next major war global supply chains will be broken. COVID-19 was a preview. Glenn’s reading is that ordinary people should not count on quick outside help either.
He also described Iranian-linked activity.
In Britain two 24-year-old men were arrested and charged under the National Security Act with assisting a foreign intelligence service identified as Iran and directed by the Revolutionary Guard.
More than 50 people have been arrested in recent Iran-linked plots there. White vans and masked men were seen near RAF Fairford, a base used by U.S. bombers that can target Iran.
That led to arrests and the bombers being pulled out. In the United States the Director of National Intelligence has warned of Iran’s increased efforts to target Americans, including advanced plots.
The Army placed an Avenger air-defense system near Mar-a-Lago at the request of the Secret Service, with NORAD involvement.
He said these are not random. People are probing. He said the radicals are already inside our house. “Please don’t. I beg you, please don’t write this off.”
His practical advice is clear. “Prepare for impact. Do not panic.
Do not change your life.
Make plans for Christmas. Go visit your relatives on Christmas and Thanksgiving.” When a pilot says brace for impact, he is calm because he knows what comes next and wants you to know it too so you are not freaking out.
Start with simple things. If they say three days, do two weeks. Keep water, food that stores well and needs no cooking, medicine, cash, and a way to hear news without the internet.
He reminded listeners that when someone says they intend to kill you, take your family, or destroy your culture, believe them.
I reported on events of this nature in my August 2014 class.
Islamic State message to America: ‘We will drown all of you in blood’
‘We Will Raise the Flag of Allah at the White House’
“One thing the brutal, cruel and utterly inhumane march of ISIS through Iraq has made clear is that Islam is at war with the West. The equation is now plain: It’s America vs. Islam, God vs. Satan, good vs. evil. This will be a war to the death.”
Jihadists’ Plans for America: ‘See You in New York’
Before Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi became what many consider the world’s most powerful terrorist, he was in U.S. custody. U.S. forces released Baghdadi from an Iraqi prison in 2009 after four years in captivity. His reported parting words to American troops? I’ll see you guys in New York.
Reminder, under President Donald Trumps orders, U.S. Special Operations forces executed the October 26, 2019 nighttime raid in northwestern Syria that led to the ISIS leader’s death
“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines ,and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
Matthew 24:7-8
Continuing with the video:
In 1999 he warned on the radio that there would be blood, bodies, and buildings in the streets of New York with Osama bin Laden’s name on it. Two years later it happened.
He has also warned about things that did not happen. He hopes this warning is one of those.
He said God is active and that people should stay open to opportunities even in disruption. He also noted that votes can slow the decline but will not stop radicals who have said they want to abolish borders and institutions.
“Our vote will not prevent this… but it may slow it down…
Don’t expect a gentle correction.”
This lines up with what I wrote earlier. Governments are telling civilians to prepare for days. The military is preparing for months. The message is the same: do not count on quick outside help if something large hits. As I reported in my previous article, the gap between household advice and military planning is the point to notice.
From a biblical view, this is wisdom, not fear.
Joseph stored grain in the seven years of plenty so Egypt could survive the seven years of famine. Genesis 41 records that. The prudent person sees danger and takes refuge.
Proverbs 22:3. Psalm 46:10 says be still and know that I am God.
2Timothy 1:7 says God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.
Preparation is part of a sound mind.
Trust in the Lord. Also store what you can. We do not know the exact day or hour. We do know the patterns.
When many governments give the same advice at the same time, pay attention.
When the military hardens its own bases for 90 days, pay attention.
Then act in faith, not in panic.
In the end, if you have prepared and nothing happens, which I highly doubt that, then you have needed supplies in case of any emergency. We can pray that the Lord intervenes, and He will, but maybe not in the way you want, considering the reprobate world in which we live.
Stay in the Word and Keep The Faith
The Lord Jesus Christ is your safe haven.
