Glenn Beck (11:31)
It's interesting to me that you would say, because I think you're right, that he would say, hey, this would mainstream us a little bit more, make us look a little more acceptable for the party. Although I think Barack Obama's legacy is not as solid as it is would have been. I think he's going to age like Bill Clinton aged where Bill Clinton was popular for a while, and then as we got farther, farther away from it, you're just like, that guy was really corrupt and really bad. I mean, he was. He was really not good. I can't believe people still like him and not really in with the Democratic Party. And I think. I think Barack Obama, because the Democratic Party is becoming so radical, I think he's going to be even worse because he's going to look like a total sellout. A guy who at least his wife believed it. And he said he believed it, but he never really got down and did it. And they will not accept the, hey, he moved the ball as far as he could. They won't accept that. And I think they will look at him at least internally, just like we would look at George W. Bush coming in, you know, in late 2024, and saying, you know what? I'D love to be an advisor for Donald Trump. You would be like, I don't think so. I don't think so. And there might be some that would argue, hey, bring him in. Let's just bring him in. You know, let's go ahead. Cause it'll, it'll help, you know, bring the, you know, the rest of the party in and it will widen the tent. But don't listen to him, for the love of Pete, don't listen to him. And the hardcore Trump supporters. I would have been like, joe, don't, don't, don't, don't bring him in. And I just have that feeling that that's what's coming. But, but we'll see, we'll see how they, they do it. There's, there's also something really disturbing that is happening with the Democratic Party and the, the fundraisers that are going, going on, especially in Michigan. There is, you know, you've heard of aipac, but have you heard of AA pac? It's the Arab American Pacific. It's exactly like the American Israeli pack, except it's the America, it's the Arab first Arab American pack and that interesting American Israeli and Arab American pack. And this thing is wildly, wildly Islamist, in my opinion. And I want to explain what is happening in Michigan and show you the, show you the beginning of, of what is coming our way quickly coming our way here in America. Listen, when you're, you know, fine and healthy, it's easy to take medicine for granted. You know, you catch a cold, you call the doctor, you go pick up the prescription. It's simple. But what happens if the supply lines slow down for a while, your local pharmacy runs out of what you need, or a storm hits, the power goes out, you're stuck at home. You can't get to, you know, the doctor or to the pharmacy or, you know, Stu did. He has a Jace case and he. It wasn't thinking. I wouldn't have thought it either. Bring it on vacation with you. You just forget those things. Until he showed up in a strange city, kids got sick in the middle of the night, and he's driving around trying to find an open Pharmacy at 2:00 in the morning. Whether it's antibiotics for infection or daily medications you rely on, Jace gives you something most people don't have, and that's real peace of mind. Because health emergencies, when they happen, they happen. And Jace will make sure that you're ready when they do happen. So go to jace.comjace.com Enter the promo code.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Where do I even begin? Well, let's start with assisted suicide in Canada. It has been legal now in Canada for over a decade and they are now pushing to expand it into children maid in Canada. Medical assistance in dying maid started back in 2016 and when they started it, we said, slippery slope. You don't want to start this. They said, that's ridiculous. How dare you. It's only for the people who can reasonably foresee the end of their life and they have, you know, terminal illness and we're not going to kill anybody. And I reminded you at the time of the Complete Lives act that we have that once medical assistance becomes too difficult to procure, when it becomes too expensive for the government, well, then you have to start picking and choosing who lives and dies. And it's called the Complete Lives Act. It was part of the Obamacare. Look it up. Complete Lives Act. Look it up. It is terrifying. It's exactly what is happening in Canada now. They're calling it compassion. I don't think it's compassion at all. In 2016, anybody who could foresee the end of their life, it was imminent, it was terminal illness and they were in so much pain. You were eligible to go to the doctor. There had to be three doctors, which was big of them. That's exactly the number the Nazis used. Three doctors that would review your case and sign off. Okay. Now the group is calling for minors as young as 12 to be included in government funded suicide. Now, the group that is really pushing this is called Dying with Dignity Canada and it recommends that minors be included into the program. Go as far as to suggest that 16 and 17 year olds shouldn't even need parental consent to be killed by a doctor if they fit the criteria. Okay, so here's what this is what they're actually saying. This is part of their pamphlet. We agree that existing eligibility requirement that persons have a grievous and irredeemable medical condition should apply to mature minors. We acknowledge Canadian society will likely expect a minimum age for mature minors in the legislation, even though the emphasis at common law is that capacity and maturity is not a chronological age. For this reason, we ask Parliament to amend the existing age requirement of 18 to extend it to persons at least 12 years old of age and capable of making decisions with respect to their health as adults. There should be a presumption of capacity for these minors. So in other words, they're saying, yeah, but I mean, yeah, I mean, some people are stupid. I mean, this is exactly what Kamala Harris is saying. She said over the weekend that, you know, you're 16 years old, you should be able to vote. Even though she doesn't mean that. She, that's a political thing. She, she said back when she was the attorney general for California, she said 16 and 17 year olds are stupid. She said their brains aren't fully formed, et cetera, et cetera. And the last thing we can do is have people vote at that age. They're just, they're stupid. Those were her words. Kind of like this now. I mean, yeah, but you know at 12, what's best for you? Did you know at 12 what was best for you? Because I didn't. So now maturity is the thing that they're looking for. The MAID program, as I said, started in 2016. The people whose natural death was reasonably foreseeable were eligible in 99% of cases. A medical professional administers a substance that causes a person, person's death, technically euthanasia. In other cases, people are going to be provided a substance to self administer to cause their own death, which is defined as assisted suicide. Increasing number of people now in Canada are being euthanized every year. 2023 data, and it's growing every year. But let's go back to 2023. More than 15,000 people were killed via MAID. 15,000 people were euthanized by the government. Put that into perspective. That's almost 5% of everybody who died in Canada. One in 20 are now being euthanized in Canada. Does that sound like a society that's a culture of death or a culture of life? Advocates for including so called mature minors in the MAID program argue that children need more autonomy over their health care. Notes that minors can already consent or refuse certain medical treatments. Oh, oh, so you mean like abortion? Okay, so they can, they can, they can have sex chain surgery, which is very expensive. Or they could have, or they could have abortions. Why not give them the ability to commit suicide too? Okay, well, maybe we should reexamine the other two. You know, you know, 12 year olds can know when they're in pain and pain that they just can't take anymore. Who knows what their suffering is better than the sufferer. One of the people that was actually for MAID back in the day says, I have to tell you, I would a few years ago. I'm quoting a few years ago. I would have said no. I don't think Canadian regime is going to go that far to have mature minors and adolescents avail themselves to euthanasia. We would never go that far. Now, I'm sad to say. I wouldn't put it past them. This is already happening. Parents will leave the room. They're 16, 17 year old. They'll leave the hospital room, go. This is an exact, this is a real example. They left to go have lunch. The cafeteria doctor walked in, talked to the kid without the parents. When the parents got back, she had already signed the thing that said, kill me. Can you imagine that? Did you see up in Canada how they're just, they're just not providing health care anymore because they can't. This is what happened. This is the complete lives system. What the complete live system is. Imagine like a bell curve. And the bell curve, the top of it is at about 25 to 30 years old. Okay? That's the very height on one side is birth. And it's almost a flat line until it gets to about seven and then it starts to tick up slowly. And then about 16, it starts going up in this bell curve from 16, peaks at about 30, maybe 35, then starts to come down and is flatlined at about 55 or 60. Okay, what that is, is the flatline part is you get no medical care because we can't afford it. There's a crisis of some sort. We can't afford it anymore. But if you're in your prime earning years where you can put, when you can, you know, plant and harvest more potatoes than you're taking out, well, then we'll give you healthcare. But at 7, you're not really helping out society. You're just costing us money. If you're just born, you're costing us all kinds of money. You can't do anything for at least 10 years. At 16, you're starting to be there. We can, we can at least judge are you going to be a help or a hindrance to society. But by the time you have 55 or 60 years old, you're done. You're really done. Why should we keep you alive any longer? That is literally the complete life system and it is part of Obamacare. Nobody would listen when we said this in 2008. It's part of Obamacare. And they said, don't worry, it only kicks in if there's shortages. Well, what kind of shortages could there be? Well, a shortage of medication. That'll never happen. We're America. Oh, okay. All right. How about shortages of money? How about shortages of insurance? How about shortages of doctors? How about shortages of nurses? When I brought this up in 2008, 9. I mean, I was just lambasted for. This is all crazy, crazy talk. It'll never happen. I'm telling you right now, it is going to come. It's already in Canada. Don't believe this compassion bullcrap. It's not about compassion. It's about a socialist system of Medicare that cannot sustain itself. Their. Their compassionate socialized medicine is out of money. It can't sustain itself. And so they're cutting people off and they're, they're, they're putting this really happy face on with compassion. But I'm sorry, when you're killing 1/20 of the public, every 20 people, one of them kills themselves. There's a problem with that. There's a real problem. You really think that's the best solution? Okay. All right. Well, can I look at the rest of your society? Let me see the health of the rest of your society. Let me take you to the Supreme Court in Canada. What they just decided on a completely different topic. They just had in their Supreme Court, there was a guy who had child porn, and he got a year sentence. A year sentence. And he contested. He went to the Supreme Court because that was the. That was the minimum sentence he could get. Now, listen to the way this, Listen, the way this was written. This was. This is actually from the, the case. He pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography and one count of accessing child pornography. Okay, so he accessed child pornography and then he kept it in his possession. One count. He also admitted to that one count. He had 475 files, including 317 images of children in child porn. Of those images, 90% were of young girls between 3 and 6 years of age. Okay, I'm not going to tell you. It's in the court filing. I'm not going to tell you what those pictures, the vile, disgusting evil that those pictures were showing of those young girls there's no way to even describe is just absolutely evil. So he, he accessed these files for 13 months, okay? He. He possessed them for 18 months, okay? But he's a former soldier and he's 28 years old, and he had no criminal record at the time of the sentencing decision, and he cooperated with the authorities, you know, and he complied with their strict release conditions, you know, and so he had. Yeah, okay, he had one count, 531 images, 274 videos of child pornography. It is. The videos were the actual abuse of these children. Supreme Court said, you know what, it didn't take into consideration that meaning minimum sentence. It didn't take into consideration, you know, what a good guy he really is. And so they overturned it. 12 months. 12 months. I'm, I'm sorry, Canada. Have you lost your flipping mind? 12 months is too much for a guy who had all of that. I don't care if he was a soldier. I don't care if he was, you know, soldier of the war. I don't care what he did. You had that and you were cool with it. And they're, what they're saying is, you know, if somebody is sent something, you know, a picture of a 17 year old girl who's underage and she's naked and it's, you sent it, you didn't request it. You could be arrested and get, you know, 12 months for that. Well, no, wait a minute, wait a minute. That's not the same. I didn't request that. That was just sent to me. This wasn't just sent to the guy. It was all two, two, two counts. Two counts. One was possession and one was distribution. That's me then taking that picture of that naked girl and then saying, hey, you want to see this?
