The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Last week we told you all about this woman in Canada, Canada named Jolene. She has been suffering, suffering from an illness that should have been taken care of years ago. For eight years she has been suffering. She's had three surgeries. None of them have worked because of the bureaucracy up in Canada. She can't get any more surgeries. She can't get help. And we got involved last week and I am happy to tell you that her medicine is, you know, whatever the medical. I'm not involved in it. And I, we don't. Because hip, I don't want to get involved, involved in this any deeper than this and can't. So all I can tell you is she's with the best doctors in America. They're making decisions with her together. It's all covered. And she doesn't have to choose maid, which is medical assistance in dying. This thing that came out around 2017 up in Canada. 2016, 2017 up in Canada. It is now responsible for one out of every 20 deaths. I think it is, it's, it's the top five killer in Canada. Made doctors prescribing drugs and helping people kill themselves. Top five killer in Canada. And it was always started with compassion. Well, it's made it here to the United States. On Friday, while we were trying to save this life of this woman up in Canada, J.B. pritzker in Illinois signed into law, a bill that now will allow doctors in Illinois to do exactly the same thing. But they're safeguards. Exactly what was said in Canada. Well, maybe we're different. Are we? And what's happened since 2016 in Canada. Let me compare and contrast and show you what our future is. If we don't pay attention right now, we'll do that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about the burner launcher. One of the most meaningful gifts you can ever give the people you love is a way, way to feel safer in the world, you know, especially the world that doesn't always feel really steady. Well, the burner launcher does exactly that. It's a non lethal self defense tool that gives you real protection without requiring a permit in any of the 50 states. And this year they've made it even easier by offering both the standard Berna launcher and the Burner Compact, which is smaller, lighter and incredibly easy to carry. But it just packs a punch. Still, the technology is simple and effective. It uses a CO2 cartridge. Now usually once you put a CO2 cartridge in, you have to use it within a certain amount of time otherwise all the air is gone or the CO2 is gone and you know it's, you're not going to be able to reload like that. That is different. This is a unique design with a burner launcher with as much as going on right now. This can give you confidence with security, peace of mind. It is a gift that lasts far below beyond the holiday season. It is something somebody starts coming towards you, somebody starts coming towards a group and people that you love. You can fire the burner launcher with within 60ft and you hit them five, eight feet away and you've got tear gas on the ground. They're not going anywhere. In fact, they're going down on the ground for about 45 minutes. Go to burnapyrna.com Glenn to learn more about it. Try before you buy at a Sportsman's Warehouse location near you. It's Byrna B Y R N A dot com GLENN all right, so JB Pritzker in Illinois signed into law a bill that fled on Friday that will allow doctors in Illinois to prescribe the deaths of their own patients. First do no harm. I'm having a hard time with that. Doctors, maybe you can tell me how you get around this. First do no harm. That is a very important concept that our doctors are to buy into and that we all believe. First do no harm. If you don't have that, all kinds of things can follow, especially when they're Couched with compassion. And that is exactly what this is, always couched in compassion. Okay, so this new law goes into effect in September of next year. Terminally ill patients over the age of 18 are going to be able to get a suicide drug from their doctor. This is the 12th state in the country that is allowing assisted suicide, and There are about 25 others that are standing in line for it. What a surprise. Illinois is the. Is the one. The first of this. This batch of them coming in to say, I want to kill people. It is a culture of death. And we are. That's what we are battling. No matter what anybody tells you. We're not battling. The Republicans are the Democrats. It's not politics. It's not Marxism. It's not. It is a culture of death that we are battling. It is evil. It is evil. A culture of death. When you look at. When you look at what people are saying about global warming, what is the solution? Fewer people. How do you do that? Well, culture of death takes care of that, right? When you look at. When you look at, you know, just about anything now. Healthcare, abortion, culture of death, Islam, culture of death, Marxism, honestly, it is a culture of death. Why would I say that? Because, well, it eliminates those who disagree with it. And first it just pushes them off the sidelines, but eventually it ends in camps. But. But also look at what's being taught to our kids. They're killing themselves because they're so depressed, because it has no meaning. It completely rejects the human aspect of humanity. Culture of death. That's really what we're fighting. Make no mistake. Now, Illinois and Pritzker, they're. They're saying, well, no, no, no. This is going to be very care. We're going to be very, very careful. You got to have two doctors. Well, okay, that's. That's good. I mean, Germany had three doctors. Had to give you permission. So you're not even up the line of Nazi Germany. But congratulations on that. Um, and they have to be diagnosed as having six months or less. Less to live. Okay. Okay. Want you to know, Illinois, America, Western world, you're being played. This is not compassion. I'm going to be real clear with you. This is preparation for when the system can no longer afford to fulfill its promises. That's what this is. They are preparing the system to be able to have the way out, and they're preparing you. So you look at this as compassion. And so when it gets worse and worse, up until the very end, you don't recognize it. They're beginning to a little bit in Canada to see what's coming their way. And why is it happening? Because they can no longer afford socialized medicine. They can't afford to fulfill the promises. Can, let me just add, can America afford to fulfill its promises that it's made for generations on all of this socialized everything? No. In fact, there are people now trying to double down. We can't afford anything. They're trying to double down and expand those programs which will only collapse us faster. And so when they, when they collapse, you know, nobody likes the, you know, nobody likes it. Well, rich people can get surgery. And as I've said to you before, I don't like that either. I really don't like that. But how else do you do it? How else do you do it? Well, we have a committee and we, we ration things. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Here's where you're not going to like that. You're not going to like that because that's not the way humans work when they're ration things. Either the people with money or the people with power always find a way to short circuit so they can get to the top. So the one that you're saying now is just the poor helpless waif that's not getting anything because of the rich people. When this system changes, that poor, you know, lonely waif is still not going to get any help because the powerful, the ones that are connected, they'll get the medical care and the waif won't get any medical care. People will find a way to short circuit the system because people generally suck. And when you give all the power to people, it's not good. It's usually not good. So you may not like the, you know, pay for it kind of system, but it is the best one out there. And you really don't want to give a bureaucracy the, the ability to kill you if you become expensive or inconvenient. Now I know that's not what they're saying now. That's not what we're doing. We're giving people out of compassion, we're helping them end their lives. Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh. That is exactly what happened in Canada. Let me just, let me just tell you. It was called C14. Let me just look up the facts here. C14 in Canada. It happened in 2016. And what it meant was you could get compassionate care if you had doctors, three doctors approved, you had a terminal, I don't remember what they call it, but basically that you could see the end in sight. Okay. There was no way for us to repair your body and heal you. So we could see that basically, you know, you were terminal. We could see that in the future, near future. And three doctors agreed. And then you had a waiting period after you requested it. The doctors would approve. And then there was 10 days before it could be administered. 10 days for you to back out. Okay. That's what it started as. All right. Yeah, that's, that's not what it's become. 2016, the, that's what it was. And you had to be 18 years or older and you had to have full capacity. So you couldn't listen to, you know, friends or family. You had to make the decision and you needed full capacity. Okay. Then things started to fall apart. Then we had Covid, then we had all these expenses. Then we started having people move into the country. This is Canada. Same same thing happened here, Covid. Hospitals are overwhelmed, Medical care goes to hell. Uh, and then you start bringing in people from all over the world. And now you don't have hospital care. You know, everybody is crowded, the doctors are overwhelmed. And so in 2021, they decided. The Quebec court decided, well, you know, death in the foreseeable future, is that really necessary? Excuse me? I mean, I mean, the reasonable foreseeable natural death requirement, do we really need that? The court said no, we really don't. There's two tracks. Those who have natural death in the foreseeable future, we're going to make it a little easier for them. So beyond the request, the three doctors and the 10 day waiting period, we're going to get rid of some of that because it's not necessary. I mean, if we're, if you're in the reasonably foreseeable future, you don't need all those safeguards. And then people whose natural death is not reasonably foreseeable, well, we're going to make them do all of those things. Okay. Oh, and by the way, we're removing the 10 day waiting period too. Once the doctor says you're good, you're good. Okay. All right. That wasn't far enough. Now they have a new bill. C7. Canada. Bill 7. When they, when that removed the foreseeable requirement, they added a temporary exclusion for people whose sole medical condition was a mental disorder. Oh, wow. So now we're into mental illness. So your death isn't in the foreseeable future, but you really want to die. So does this apply to mental people with mental problems? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're not going to ban it. We're just going to put A temporary ban on that one. Why would you put a temporary ban on that? Why would you put a temporary ban on something like that? Let me give you the answer and tell you what else it's done and then bring it home for you here in just a second. First, let me tell you about choosing life around the holidays. We talk a lot about hope, about new beginnings, about the value of every single life. I don't know. Christ child comes to mind. Preborn puts those beliefs into every action, into action every single day by providing free ultrasounds to expectant moms who are facing fear and pressure and uncertainty in life. When a mom sees that baby on the screen, she hears the heartbeat. Everything changes for her. It's a moment of clarity and connection and a moment of courage. But she still feels alone. That's why preborn doesn't stop there. They also provide counseling and baby supplies and long term support so the women don't feel like they're walking this journey alone because usually they are completely alone. It's practical care that meets people in their most vulnerable moments and offers them something they may not have felt in a long hope. That's what we should be offering. Every mom preborn serves faces a moment of decision. When she sees her baby in an ultrasound, in that sacred moment, she has the opportunity to say yes. And usually she does. The odds go way up. This Christmas, for $28, you can support a woman like this and save a life, her life and the baby's life. A life that might just change the world. Donate by dialing £250. Say the keyword baby.

Okay, so why would you, why would you remove the restriction on the mentally ill? Remember, the first thing was, the first thing was you got to be, you got to be fully there. You have to be competent and aware of what you're doing. Then they said, well, the foreseeable future thing, you know, your death is, you know, inevitable. We're going to take that away, but we're going to put a temporary restriction on mental illness. The only reason why you would make that a temporary restriction is because you're just trying to get the rest of the society to catch up with what you're going to do. That's the only reason. And that's why it has been extended. Okay, it was supposed to end in 2023, then it was extended to March 2024 and now it has been pushed to 2027. Okay? So you're not eligible for MAID until March 2027 if you have a mental illness. Hmm? Huh? Now, they may push it forward again to give them more time to convince everybody that that's what they have to do. And how do you convince people? Well, you convince people because there's shortages and that person doesn't have the capability to even think they're mentally ill. They might even want to die. They're very, very depressed. They're very depressed, and so they want to die anyway. Let them die. I need the doctor. Okay, that's what's going to happen. That's what's going to happen. Unless we remember who we are. Unless all of a sudden we're like, you know what? That's not who we are. That's not the West. The west is not defined by its technology, even by its freedom or its wealth. Everybody thinks, oh, the west is going to get wealthy. No, that's not it. What makes us unique in the West? The entire West. Canada, including all of Europe. This radical idea that the individual has inherent value, that nobody is expendable. And not because they're useful, not because they're productive, not because they're convenient. They have an inherent right to exist, to live. If you look at the past, you look at Athens and Rome. I mean, they just put you. They put babies that were not boys, they were girls or they were deformed anyway. They just throw them on a garbage barge and they would. These barges would go down the rivers with screaming babies on them. They just let them die. Okay? That's the way it was. But the west, through Judeo Christian ethics, taught us that's not right. We build hospitals before skyscrapers. We put limits on force. We teach doctors to heal, not to calculate. When a society like ours stops choosing life, it does not become more compassionate, it becomes more efficient. Not compassionate, efficient. And efficiency has never given birth to moral virtue. Efficiency kills it. If that's your goal, it kills it. Fighting this culture of death, it is the most important thing we can focus on. A lot of people will focus on politics and everything else. And what J.B. pritzker is doing here, there and everywhere else. I don't even care about the politics. We have to convince one another. We have to start standing up for the principles that made the west the West. Because without the choice to protect life at its most fragile, we are no longer a civilization worth saving. We are just another system deciding, I don't know, is that worth the trouble? And History is very clear where that society ends. That is why last week, to me, it was so personal and so important to help this woman. Not just because it's the right thing to do and because every life matters. And this happened to be a life that came across my path. And I'm like, we got to stop that. But because this goes to something bigger and it is infecting us right now. And if we buy the lies that this is for compassion. Look, I understand. I understand pain. I understand end of life. I don't want to be in that situation. I know you don't want to be. And I know, I mean, I know what it feels like with my dog. Putting my dog down. It kills me. Kills me put my dog down. So I get it on the dog level, let alone, you know, a parent level or a spouse level. I get it. But you cannot, as a society go down this road because once you open this door, all the other doors just start to swing open. When there's trouble, the first sign of shortage, all those doors open up. And guess what? We're headed for shortages. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
