Glenn Beck (50:24)
We're supposed to just take their word for it. I'm going to get into this a little later about the refusal to give them a trial. Uh, there's a lot of things in this country that this country does that we don't insist on a trial for American citizens. So we'll get into that a little later. But. But just comparing this lawful and constitutional act. He says that it's the Gestapo and we're sending them off to foreign torture chambers. That's a new one. I didn't. I didn't hear that one, did you? Are you aware of the foreign torture chambers we were sending them to? Stu. I. That's news to me. Then yesterday you have a U.S. attorney saying, quote, Today my office has charged Congresswoman McIver with violence of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111A1, for assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement. And what is Swalwell's reaction? A red line has been crossed. Trump is prosecuting his political enemies in Congress. This is just the beginning. We must take whatever we've done before to show dissent and go one rung higher. And to save your BS Documents on this, you'll need them when you testify. Okay, let's take that statement. This is a representative of the United States of America. A red line has been crossed. Yeah, but I think we see a different red line. We see a line where people do not pay for their actions anymore. And they get away with anything. And especially if they're privileged, they don't ever pay a price. So a red line has been crossed. Um, nobody seems to pay for their actions, even though there are laws. We're a nation not of laws, but of men. Here's a woman decides she's gonna do what she wants. It's clear. It's on videotape. She now is being prosecuted by the doj as everyone who Breaks the law. Should be. And he says Trump is prosecuting his political enemies in Congress. Let me ask you something. Congresswoman McIver. I've never even heard of her. I've heard of the TV show, but I never even heard her. He is not worried about Congresswoman McIver. She is not an enemy of Donald Trump. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. She's a nobody. Then he says, this is just the beginning. We must take whatever we've done before to show dissent. Okay, well, that has been shooting at the President of the United States. That has been stirring things up against SCOTUS and actually having one of your supporters go and try to kill two of the Supreme Court justices. We've seen you burn down Minneapolis. We've seen you burn down city after city. We've seen you rape and pillage cities. We. We've seen Portland. What you're doing in Portland. What is the next rung on that ladder? Successful revolution. We must take whatever we've done before to show dissent and go one rung higher. There is a storm coming, and you have to decide what side you're on right now. And it's not about politics. It's not. It's about what kind of country do you want to live in. One side, Donald Trump's side is talking about when America was great, but America wasn't great for everybody. We all know that. He knows that. But I think there's a better way to define that, and I think we should start defining it differently because we need something aspirational. And aspiration doesn't come just from success. It doesn't come from money or any of that stuff. Where does inspiration come from? Higher ideals. One side is saying we're going to get more violent. One side is saying we're going to take what we've done before to show dissent, which is not Martin Luther King. They don't believe in Martin Luther King anymore. I wish they did, but they don't. One says, we're going to do that. And the other says, well, here's what we're going to do. We're going to. We're going to make America profitable again. We're going to set things right. We're going to start charging people with crimes. That's all good. All of that stuff is good. But let me. Let me lay out a. Another vision. What do you want your country to be like? I want a country where we all know that there is no ruler over the other. I don't care your education. I don't care your class. I don't care where you were born, how you were born. I don't care if you're from a foreign country or your people have been here since the Pilgrims or before. I don't care. I want a country where we're all looking at each other and going, man, you got a shot just as much as I do. Now, that doesn't mean that everybody is guaranteed a success. It just means that we all start as an individual. Not in our stations, but as an individual. Equal. And we should be judged on the character, the content of our character, who we are and what we produce. I want to live in a country where we don't bust down doors in the middle of the night, where we don't scoop people up in the middle of the night unless they're here illegally or unless they've broken the law. Now, I don't want them just disappeared if they're an American citizen. But here's what I would like. I would like to know that as an American citizen, I could be driving around with cash in my car. And I'm not a drug dealer. And if the police stop me, they can't just take that cash and then just say it's ours. No, I want a hearing. I want a hearing on that. I want a jury of my peers. I, I, I want a chance to defend myself. No, you don't have that as an American citizen. But they now want to give people who came here illegally, and especially the most violent people, they want them to have a trial. But not you. You don't get that. I want everyone to have the same opportunity. I want everyone treated with respect. I want everyone to be free of fear as much as possible. No government can, can make people, can make a society that doesn't have fear in it. Fear is part of life. But I don't want fear of the government. I don't want fear that somebody could just snuff my life out. And I want to be left alone. I mean, I want to work together as a team, but I don't want the government telling me everything I have to do. I want to live in a place where we each of us come together and understand that if we were all on an island someplace, we'd have the right to choose our own way of dealing. We're shipwrecked and there's 50 of us. What would we do? We would eventually, if there's no rescue, we'd eventually set up a little society with 50 of us. And we would trade with each other and we would just take care of things, all of us together. It would be a direct democracy because it'd be small enough and we just talk it out and we'd punish the people that needed to be punished, et cetera, et cetera. And if some guy came in a boat and said, you know what? I'm going to rule over you. I'm king, we would all say, no, you don't have the right to be king. What are you talking about? We know common sense tells us that if we were on that island, we would all know we have a right to put our own rulers, if you will, our own government in place. And that government, its first job should be to protect me as a citizen and you as a citizen, and just make sure we're playing fair with one another. Do you know what I just described? Are you with that? Is that the kind of America you want to live in? Because it is the one I want to live in. I just described a country that has never, ever graced the presence of the earth because people are involved. But that's what we should be striving for, that kind of situation. Let me express it this way. I'm going to live in a country where all men are created equal, and they're endowed by their creator with certain unalienable, unchangeable rights. That among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nobody can come in the middle of the night and just take your life. Nobody can take your liberty and throw you in prison without a trial. And the pursuit of happiness, you just want to be left alone to do what you want to do as long as you're not breaking the law. And to secure these rights, governments are instituted by men among men. Men make it. We as individuals, like we're on that island, we vote for it. We put it together. And what we put together, that government derives their just powers from the consent of the governed, so we have to consent to it. And they don't have just powers. They have just powers. And that if a. If a government becomes destructive, it's the right of the people to alter or abolish it. Well, why do we keep saying, oh, you want to go back to the old timey days? No, I, I don't. I, I don't. I don't want to have to leave my house in the middle of night and poop, you know, in a big hole behind my house. Don't want to do that. I don't want to go back to a time where people lived in fear because somebody was going to knock on their door or throw a rock or a brick through their window like they did with Martin Luther King and set a cross on fire. I want to live in a neighborhood where we all look alike, we all don't look alike. Nobody cares, because we, in many ways, in the most fundamental ways, we think alike. We're all trying to protect our society, which is just and governed by people we all selected. And those people, because we selected them. We select people that have the same idea of what this government and what this country should be and this country and this government should be. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that all men are created equal. That's what it should be. Heaven knows how to put a proper price on something so celestial as freedom and liberty. We have to pay a price for this liberty. And that price right now just means to be engaged, to be good, to. To take a stand on good and evil. There is good and evil, period. More in a second, let me tell you. Israel right now is facing one of the most complex and dangerous moments in modern history. On the southern front, the war with Hamas continues to escalate. Israeli forces have launched a major ground offensive in Gaza targeting the Hamas control. Why? Because they haven't released the hostages. They're still held in tunnels and they want their hostages released now. France has come in and said, well, we can't support you. Oh, my gosh, what will Israel do without the support of the French? Look, I want you to go to IFCJ. SupportIFCJ.org do that now. SupportIFCJ.org this is an organization, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews that have gotten together. We don't. We don't agree on religion and the ins and outs of it, but we do agree that Jews have a right to exist forever for all time. They keep telling the Jews to go home. They went home, and now they're telling them, get out. They have a right to exist, and I think we should support them. I don't want to fight their wars for them, but I do want to be there and let them know I support them. I love them, I pray for them. 8884-8843-2588-8488. IFCJ or online. One word supportifcj.org 10seconds. Station ID I have a very bad feeling that we are entering a new era. And this era that we are entering is an era of rage and hatred. And really, honestly, the. The Democrats. The Democrats can change this. They can change this. The Democrats have to get past their disdain of Donald Trump enough to see that their own party, what it stands for, what it's doing, you're blind to what it's doing because you hate Donald Trump so much. At least many of us can admit when Donald Trump is wrong. We admitted when we were wrong about Donald Trump. I mean, there's no way you can't look at what Donald Trump is doing just in the Middle east with peace and say, probably, if it works, probably a Nobel Peace Prize. If it works in Russia, probably a Nobel Peace Prize. If you can't admit that if it works, it's going to be a tremendous thing for the world and stability, you're not being a fair broker, just like I wouldn't be a fair broker. And I've said this to the president. You know, I got to see the results. But I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. And if your tariffs work well, I'll be the first to say, you know what, I was wrong about tariffs. Why can I do that? Because we believe, all of us, if you're within the sound of my voice, I hope in that country built on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and that everybody is created equal. We're going to have our squabbles and our disagreements, strong disagreements all the way through. But there are those who are willing to tear us apart and kill in the name of whatever their agenda is. We have to stand up against that. Oh, my goodness. Well, welcome to the program. Let me tell you about our sponsor, this half hour. It's rough greens. Ever notice how many dogs these days are on medication? You know, in California, they're giving dogs Prozac. Oh, my gosh, I'm sorry, California. But you deserve everything that's coming your way. I mean, get out of California if you disagree with it, because, I mean, it's just headed for trouble. But anyway, and, you know, antidepressants for dogs? I don't think so. It's starting to sound an awful lot like human health care. Treat the symptoms, ignore the cause. Here's the truth. Most people never think about your dog's food. Even the premium stuff is not designed for their health health. It's designed for shelf life, bulk manufacturing and cost. The nutrients that keep your dog healthy, most of them are destroyed in the high heat cooking process. This is where rough greens comes in. It's a nutritional boost that you can add to your dog's existing meal. It's packed with vitamins, probiotics, digestive enzymes, omegas, antioxidants, the kind of stuff that is almost entirely missing from regular dog food. You'll see the difference.
