Glenn Beck (3:27)
If you've been listening the last half hour, I've been talking about how do we. How do we come back together? How do we fix the nation? And I feel like I know you and maybe it's because I know myself and, you know, likes attract, I guess so much of the audience were very much alike. And if I were listening to me in my car, I'd be like, yeah, dude, I got it. I got it. All these things are obvious, okay? But the other side doesn't want any of those things. And I know that's why I led with the Insurrection Act. I don't know how to solve those things yet, but it's. We're going to have to. But I do know this. If we continue to do the same thing, we're going to get the same result. And what I mean by that is we can't. We can't continue to phrase things the way we've been phrasing. Look, there's two groups on the left. I think there are the lefties that absolutely believe it, that are all in on destroying America. They hate America, all that. Okay, okay, that, that's one group. Never going to get those. But I still do not believe that's half the country. Maybe it is. Maybe I'm just an optimist. I do not believe that. I believe there's 30% in that. Let's say it's 50%. I believe there's 30% of that who are just buying into the lies of Orange Man Bad. They have, they're, they're completely, they're just completely convinced that Republicans or, you know, people who love the Constitution just want to starve people to death. And we hate all immigrants and all of that stuff. So there are things that can be done that we must do to demonstrate. Nobody believes words anymore. It takes actions. So there are things that we must do that we can get people to believe again. Because if you are, if Donald Trump comes out and, or anybody in the administration, and I believe they're doing the right thing in Minnesota, and I do not believe they're just rounding people up willy nilly. But it takes the President to come out and say, I hear the people of Minnesota, I hear the crazies and the people who are just bound and determined to do whatever, to win and to destroy America. And I hear those people and I. You're, you're not a, you're not, you're not a blessing to the republic, let's put it that way, to be very, very, very kind. But I also hear people who are concerned because they're hearing all of these things on television from, you know, their own party, and they're, they're hearing that we are rounding people up. I want you to know, any ICE agent that would do that, we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Instead of just saying, this is happening, show me the facts. Here's a special phone number. You can call the White House and present the facts. And if you have the facts, we will investigate. And if it's true, we are with you because we're not to have monsters pulling people, you know, out of, out of their house. As many on the left say, they're full citizens. They've never done anything wrong. That's not true. But if you can show me where it is true, I'm on your side. But you have to, you have to come along and realize what I'm telling you. What ice, what I have directed ICE to do is to go get those illegals first, the ones who are the worst criminals, that are raping our children, that have, that are stealing from us, that are destroying our country, our neighborhoods and your own livelihood, making your, your street less safe. Those are the people we're going after right now. If he can, if he can be surgical instead of a blanket, everybody over there, all the Democrats, they want, he's got to be more surgical. We have to be. I have to be more surgical because you can win by governing like an adult in a burning house. Don't panic, everybody. You know what to do. Come on, come on, follow me, follow me, follow me. But you have to tell the truth in full sentences and you have to apply the laws equally and even to your own allies. Do you imagine, you imagine what would happen if there was somebody that was in the, you know, the, the files, Epstein files, which is a bad example because I don't think anything true is in the Epstein files at any, any point. Well, okay, how about this? Anybody who is giving a subpoena has been subpoenaed and they're on the, on the right and they don't show up for their subpoena. Can you imagine what message the President would say would send to people if he sent out, if the DOJ sent out a warrant for Bill Clinton? And I know George W. Bush picking ridiculous guy, but at the same time, both left and right, that's how you convince people we're not what you, what you keep saying we are. You have to. Justice has to fall swiftly on both sides. You have to admit trade offs. You have to fix things that people feel in their daily lives. And he is lower bills, lower bills. Have you seen the price of eggs? They were $9. What are they now? What was the price of your gas? What is it now? Safer streets. Did you see the report that came out today? This is the safest our streets have been since 1900. The lowest murder rate in America since 1900. And the press is like, why is that happening? How is that happening? It must be magic. No, it's applying certain principles. More opportunity, less chaos. And when people feel their lives improving, unity stops being a fantasy. Because unity is not an agreement. Unity is a shared benefit. So here is the message that Republicans or anybody who wants to win and not leave half the country behind because there's no winning if half the country is behind. We don't have a country. You'll have a collection of states. We'll go into civil war and we'll split up and what happens then? So if you want to win as a country, if you want to be an actual steward of the republic, this is what we have to start saying. We're not here to punish half the country. We're not here to redistribute, decline either. We are here to make America affordable again, safe again, productive and free under the Constitution, under the rule of law, and for everyone who is willing to work and to build and live in peace. That's how Republicans will, that's how America will win. We just have to find enough people. Because I believe everything I've said In the last 25 minutes, 30 minutes, I believe everything I have laid out is common sense. I believe that if Al Gore were saying this in a room full of Democrats, everybody there would go, yep, yep, yep. Right? Yeah, yeah. But they would apply it differently in their head. But the message is universally true. What's happening is the facts around this thing. Those are the things that are being distorted. So we have to stop the distortion. And if we're going to be responsible for it, if we want to make a positive impact, we have to go further than anybody else. We have to set ourselves apart from what everyone else is doing. And I'm not talking to all of America and even half of America. I'm talking to people who want to actually be a steward of the republic. I'm talking to people who feel the torch of saving this nation and are willing to pick it up. You know, I talked to a liberal in California who actually sat and had lunch with me and said, I can't believe you guys are so against voter id. And I said, what? What? I mean, this is just an average guy. I can't believe you guys are constantly going after voter id. And I'm like, no, we're not. Yeah, you are. Yeah, you guys are always. I mean, how does that make sense at all? And I'm like, you are on the wrong side here, buddy. Actually, you're preaching. You're preaching to the choir. Hello, person, meet choir. I'm here. We're all here. You misunderstand. I had to actually bring it up. And when he saw it, I brought it up on, you know, online. And when he saw it, he was skeptical because what source is this? I'm like, dude, this is what it is. This is what it is. He couldn't believe that it was his side that was standing in the way. That's the average person. Now the Safe act is going through. Sorry, not safe Save act is. It's a Mikely. It's going to require citizenship to vote and to register to vote. Okay, how is this not common sense? It is. It is. But you just got two new Republicans to sign on. Katie Britt of Alabama, Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania, they're now co sponsoring this, the legislation. How? Who's not co sponsoring this? How is there a single Republican? Quite honestly, this is a between a 70 and 90% approval rating, however you phrase the question with all Americans. Yes, you should have to register to vote. So why isn't everybody signing up on this? Because they're weasels, that's why. But let me just show you how common sense this is. This is how common sense works. This is how you make the case, should you have to register to vote? Well, I don't think so because it's a, it's, it's offensive to black people because black people somehow or another can't find a way to find a way to a driver's license. Okay, really? Because these are the things that you have to have id. So are you saying that those voters have never opened a bank account, they've never cashed a check, they've never applied for a credit card, they've never applied for a loan or a mortgage, they've never withdrawn a large sum of cash from a bank, they've never wired money, they've never sent money internationally. They, they haven't applied for Social Security benefits, they haven't applied for Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment benefits, filing tax forms or resolving IRS issues in person. You need an ID for all of those things. To get a job, you need ID. Completing e verify, you need ID. Applying for a professional license, you need an ID. Joining a labor union, you need an ID. Going into a government building, you need an ID to board a commercial airplane, you need an ID enter a federal building, ID, renewing a driver's license or applying for one the first time, ID, registering a vehicle, renting a car, applying for a passport, crossing a border, entering many state capitals or any secure government facility, picking up prescription medications. Really have your constituents never picked up something at CVS because you need an id. Having access to certain medical records, registering at a hospital or emergency facility, enrolling in health insurance, getting a vaccine in many states, applying for medical assistance programs, renting an apartment, buying or selling a home, signing a lease, applying public housing for public housing, checking into a hotel, buying alcohol, buying tobacco, entering many age restricted venues, education, enrolling in public school, enrolling in a university or a college, applying for a student loan, taking a standardized test, going onto a campus facility, applying for financial aid, serving on a jury, registering for selective service, filing court documents, attaining a marriage license, adopting a child, purchasing a firearm, applying for a concealed carry permit, notarizing a single document, Welfare aid, public assistance, snap, food assistance, WIC benefits, disaster relief applications, FEMA aid. I mean, I could go on and on and on. You need ID for all of those things. So what voters are you appealing to here? What is it that you're really after? Because if you care about the poor, you're saying they're poor, they're on welfare, they, whatever, they must have ID to sign up for welfare. Who is it you're protecting? Your vote. That's who you're Protecting your ability to swing the vote illegally. That's the case. That's common sense. And every American should take the team jersey off and go, okay, wait. Well, that's. Those are the facts. Yep. Here's the right thing to do. That's how we save America. Which requires you to take the team jersey off. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Roger Love is a dear friend of mine. I've known him forever. He. Most people don't know this and probably doesn't want anybody to know, but he has helped me.
