Glenn's Show Prep

Conservative Darryl Glenn Relentlessly Pursues US Senate Seat in Colorado

November 04, 2016
Lori Hanes

Writer

Darryl Glenn, a promising new face on the national political scene, is putting non-stop pressure on his Democratic opponent in Colorado. The 21-year veteran of the U.S military, with an MBA and law degree, joined The Glenn Beck Program on Friday to discuss his current bid for the U.S. Senate in Colorado. Glenn has the support of current U.S. Senators like Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX). Visit ElectDarrylGlenn.com for more information.

Watch Darryl Glenn's latest campaign ad below.

Listen to this segment from The Glenn Beck Program:

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors:

GLENN: A candidate for the US Senate in Colorado, Darryl Glenn, how are you, sir?

DARRYL: Oh, I'm doing great. Thank you for having me on again.

GLENN: You bet. Tell me what the situation is in Colorado. First of all, can you tell me anything on the ground, what your gut says about Hillary Clinton versus Donald Trump? Do you have any sense that those polls are real, are still shifting, what are your thoughts on that?

DARRYL: Well, I see a lot of momentum on the Republican side. I think that with all of the news that has been coming out with regard to everything with the investigation starting up again, it's really energized the base. I think if you're looking at our ballot return, you've definitely seen an up in Republicans turning in their ballot.

And when I'm out there personally walking precincts, you do still have a lot of people hanging on to their ballots that are personally planning on delivering them. Because there is some concerns about whether or not that their vote will be counted appropriately.

So we know that -- I think that things are going to be very surprising in Colorado. I can guarantee you, we're going to win this race.

GLENN: So, Darryl, let me ask you this, you're in Colorado, which I know places like Boulder, Colorado, are, you know, very, very lefty. And -- but there's also parts of Colorado that are very western in their -- in their approach, which leans constitutional and Libertarian. Not necessarily Republican.

When it comes to things like, you know, pot in Colorado -- and I know you're running for the US Senate. But when it comes to that, constitutionalists generally speaking, are like, "Well, I may not want it in my state, but if that's what the state of Colorado decides to do, constitutionally, they can do that."

Are you seeing that -- because as a constitutionalist, are you seeing that you can pick up any of these Libertarian kind of people that might be in Colorado?

DARRYL: Absolutely. And we are specifically targeting them. Because there are some disenfranchised Bernie Sanders voters. Young millennials. And we are specifically out there talking to them because they bring a lot of value. And they need to understand that the other side of the ticket, as far as the Democrats, are going to continue to infringe upon their freedoms and liberty. And that if you you truly want to have somebody to stand up there and fight, you need to go to ElectDarrylGlenn.com and back my candidacy. Because I do not -- I take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, not to a party or not to a person. It's to understand that we are separate but equal branches of government. And that's what's been lacking, and that's what people are frustrating.

GLENN: It shows that Michael Bennet is still in the lead, but you're closing the gap quickly. He's the current senator. He is a far left Democrat. Big supporter of Hillary Clinton. Thinks that Obamacare is a good thing.

What are the premiums up in Colorado?

DARRYL: Well, you're looking at people, especially in -- I'll just kind of give you a sense in our western slope, there are 14 counties that are down to one insurance provider. You're looking at premium increases that are ranging between 20 to 40 percent.

I know of one individual business owner where their premiums have gone from 60,000, and it's projected to go to 50,000. But yet Michael Bennet is still out there supporting the Affordable Care Act. And this is why we are highlighting that fact, that, that, on top of his support for the Iran nuclear deal, are reasons why he should lose his job. That's why people are flocking to ElectDarrylGlenn.com.

GLENN: They're flocking to -- what was the name of that website again?

(chuckling)

DARRYL: ElectDarrylGlenn.com.

GLENN: Okay. I didn't know if I heard you right. ElectDarrylGlenn.com.

PAT: ElectDarrylGlenn.com.

GLENN: Michael Bennet was in a debate with you. And I find this astounding. He's made it all the way to the US Senate without knowing a couple of terms, one of them is open borders, the other is open trade. I want to play this.

VOICE: Open borders.

MICHAEL: Huh? I don't know what -- I don't know what that means in -- if you can define it for me, I would be happy to answer it --

PAT: What?

VOICE: It was her -- quote, that her dream is in the hemisphere open borders and open trade.

MICHAEL: I don't know what that means, but as part of the Gang of Eight --

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: What's going on, Darryl?

PAT: Wow.

DARRYL: Well, you have to remember that Michael Bennet graduated from Yale Law School. And that just shows you that -- you know, if I was Yale, I would say, "Look, you're not representing the institution very well."

PAT: That's for sure.

DARRYL: And what he's doing is what he traditionally does, is he hides. He doesn't want to take a position. And I tell people, "We need to just talk straight." The average person knows what the definition of what open borders is. And you should be able to talk about that. But what he doesn't want to acknowledge is the fact that he supports the Barack Obama administration. And if Hillary Clinton is in office, he's going to do the exact same thing.

PAT: Wow.

Now, what are the odds that people will be too stoned to get to the polls on Tuesday? Is that possible? You know, they got such a case of the munchies that they're too busy buying Doritos and Cheez-Its. Is that possible?

DARRYL: No, I don't think that's possible.

PAT: No?

GLENN: All right.

PAT: Good.

GLENN: That was, Pat, by the way, Darryl. I just want to make sure you understand. That was Pat.

DARRYL: Yeah. I understand that.

PAT: Well, it is legal.

And what is your stand on the marijuana situation in -- in Colorado? Is that going well, or would you repeal that if you could?

DARRYL: Well, it has some unintended consequences. And what I'm saying is the current position that we're in doesn't represent either side very well. You know, you need to stand up for state's rights. But right now, the federal government can pick and choose when they want to enforce the standard.

And when you're dealing with, like with Colorado, we have a lot of military installations and you have to follow federal law there, it becomes problematic.

And I can tell you specifically as the county commissioner responsible for funding, you know, organizations like our sheriff's department, we're having some unintended consequences because what you're seeing is a rise in property crime. A rise in heroin usage. So there's still a lot of work that needs to be done. But the current position right now of doing nothing is hurting people. Go in there and investigate whether or not it should be reclassified, as it should.

Then you can then put it into the pharmacy. Then that clears some of the public safety concerns. But the bottom line is you got to stand up for state's rights. And that's what we're going to do.

GLENN: Darryl Glenn, running for Senate in Colorado. Mike Lee is a huge supporter of Darryl. Ted Cruz is also a big supporter of Darryl.

Darryl Glenn. ElectDarrylGlenn.com. Elect Darryl Glenn. That's with two N's.com. In Colorado. And he needs your help, to -- I would imagine some extra funding would be helpful or even people willing to go out and knock on doors this weekend. And help put another constitutionalist in the Senate of the United States.

Darryl, I appreciate it. Thank you so much.

PAT: Good luck.

DARRYL: Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

GLENN: You bet.

Critical theory destroys truth and justice

Editor's note: This article was originally published on TheBlaze.com.

Critical theory once stood out as the absurd progressive notion that it is. Now, its maxims are becoming an integral part of ordinary political discourse. The more you repeat a lie, the more you will believe it, and this is the very dangerous place in which we find ourselves today.

Take this critical theory maxim as an example: If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice. It's a necessary evil, if you will, the necessity of “controlled injustice.”

By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we’ll save the republic. We’ll be acting in a noble way.

This definition of justice is defined by the “oppressed,” not the “oppressor.” It is the greatest happiness for the greatest number. To achieve this justice, however, we need to endorse acts on occasion that, while seemingly unjust, serve a higher purpose. It will ensure the stability and the unity of our republic, and this may manifest in ways that seem contradictory to our values. But these are the necessary shadows to cast light on “true justice.”

And isn’t that what we are all after, anyway?

Here’s another critical theory maxim: Sometimes we find the truth through fabrication. Our pursuit of truth sometimes requires a strategic use of falsehoods. The truth is a construct that has been shaped and tailored to promote the well-being of the collective.

We sometimes need to accept and propagate lies designed by "the system” — not the old system, but the system that we’re now using to replace the old to get more justice through injustice and more truth through fabrication.

We’re engaging in a higher form of honesty. When we fabricate, it’s for the right reason. We are reaching up to the heavens fighting for a higher sort of honesty. To fortify the truth, we occasionally must weave a tapestry of lies. Each thread, essential for the greater picture, will ultimately define our understanding and ensure our unity under this infallible wisdom.

The election is coming up. Does this maxim sound familiar? Many think it is imperative that we secure our republic through election control to maintain our republic. Sometimes, we might need to take actions that by traditional standards might be questionable.

The act of securing elections requires cheating. It's not mere deception. It is a noble act of safeguarding our way of life. We're on the verge of losing this democracy, and without deception, we will lose it.

To ensure it doesn't fall into the hands of those we know will destroy it, we may have to make a few fabrications. We're fabricating stories to be able to control or secure the republic through our elections. By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we'll save the republic. Therefore, we'll be acting in a noble way. Stealing an election from those who wish to harm our society is truly an act of valor and an essential measure to protect our values and ensure the continuation of our just society.

If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice.

I know it's a paradox of honor through dishonor. But in this context, by embracing the dishonor, we achieve the highest form of honor, ensuring the stability and the continuation of our great republic.

Let this be heard, far and wide, as a great call to patriotic action. As we advance, let each of us, citizens of this great and honorable republic, consider these principles. Not as abstract or paradoxical but as practical guides to daily life. Embrace the necessity of controlled injustice, the utility of lies, the duty to secure our electoral process, and the honor and apparent dishonor. These are not merely strategies for survival. They are prerequisites for our prosperity.

We all have to remember that justice is what our leaders define, that truth is what our party tells us. Our republic stands strong on the values of injustice for justice, honor through dishonor, and the fabrication of truths. To deviate from this path is to jeopardize the very fabric of our society. Strength through unity; unity through strength.

We've heard this nonsense for so long. But now, this nonsense is becoming an instituted reality, and we are entering perilous times. Don't be fooled by the narratives you will hear during the march to November. Never let someone convince you that the ends justify the means, that a little bit of injustice is needed to achieve a broader, collective vision of justice, that truth sometimes requires fabricated lies and narratives. If we do, justice will cease to be justice, truth will cease to be truth, and our republic will be lost.

Top 5 MOST EVIL taxes the government extorts from you

"In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." -Ben Franklin

The injustice of taxation has been a core issue for Americans since the very beginning of our country, and it's a problem we have yet to resolve. This belief was recently reignited in many Americans earlier this month on tax day when the numbers were crunched and it was discovered that the government was somehow owed even more hard-earned money. As Glenn recently discussed on his show, it's getting to be impossible for most Americans to afford to live comfortably, inflation is rising, and our politicians keep getting richer.

The taxpayer's burden is heavier than ever.

The government is not above some real low blows either. While taxes are a necessary evil, some taxes stretch the definition of "necessary" and emphasize the "evil." Here are the top five most despicable taxes that are designed to line the IRS coffers at your expense:

Income Tax

"It would be a hard government that should tax its people one-tenth part of their income." -Ben Franklin

On February 24th, 2024 we hit a very unfortunate milestone, the 101st anniversary of the 16th Amendment, which authorized federal income tax. Where does the government get the right to steal directly out of your paycheck?

Death Taxes

"Now my advice for those who die, Declare the pennies on your eyes" -George Harrison

Not even in death can you escape the cold pursuit of the tax collector. It's not good enough that you have to pay taxes on everything you buy and every penny you make your entire life. Now the feds want a nice slice, based on the entire value of your estate, that can be as much as 40 percent. Then the state government gets to stick their slimy fingers all over whatever remains before your family is left with the crumbs. It's practically grave-robbery.

Payroll

"The power to tax is the power to destroy." -John Marshall

What's that? The nice chunk of your paycheck the government nabs before you can even get it to the bank wasn't enough? What if the government taxed your employer just for paying you? In essence, you make less than what your agreed pay rate is and it costs your employer more! Absolutely abominable.

Social Security

VALERIE MACON / Contributor | Getty Images

"We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much." -Ronald Reagan

Everyone knows the collapse of Social Security is imminent. It has limped along for years, only sustained by a torrent of tax dollars and the desperate actions of politicians. For decades, people have unwillingly forked over money into the system they will never see again.

FICA

Kevin Dietsch / Staff | Getty Images

"What at first was plunder assumed the softer name of revenue." -Thomas Paine

FICA is the payroll equivalent of Social Security. Your employer has to match however much you pay. It means it costs your employer even more to pay you—again, you'll NEVER see that money. At this point, are you even working for yourself, or are you just here to generate money for the government to frivolously throw away?

5 DISTURBING ways World War III will be different from previous wars

Oleg Nikishin / Stringer | Getty Images

Has World War III begun?

Over the weekend, Iran launched an unprecedented attack against Israel involving over 300 missiles and drones. This marked the first direct attack on Israel originating from Iranian territory. Fortunately, according to an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, 99 percent of missiles and drones were successfully neutralized by Israeli defense systems. Iran claimed that the operation against Israel had concluded and that no further offensive was planned, although the possibility of another attack is still present.

This has left many people, including Glenn, wondering the same thing: did we just witness the start of World War III?

Glenn recently had a World War II Air Force Veteran as a guest on his TV special, who told stories of the horrors he and his brothers-in-arms faced in the skies over war-torn Europe. This was a timely reminder of the terrors of war and a warning that our future, if it leads to another world war, is a dark one.

But, if Glenn's coverage of the Iranian attack revealed one thing, it's that World War III will look nothing like the world wars of the twentieth century. Long gone are the days of John "Lucky" Luckadoo and his "Bloody Hundredth" bravely flying their B-17s into battle. Over the weekend, we saw hundreds of autonomous drones and missiles clashing with extreme speed and precision over several different fronts (including space) simultaneously. This ain't your grandfather's war.

From EMP strikes to cyber attacks, here are FIVE ways the face of war has changed:

EMP attacks

New York Daily News Archive / Contributor | Getty Images

The entire modern world, on every level, is completely dependent on electricity. From your home refrigerator to international trade, the world would come to a grinding halt without power. And as Glenn has pointed out, it wouldn't even be that hard to pull off. All it would take is 3 strategically placed, high-altitude nuclear detonations and the entire continental U.S. would be without power for months if not years. This would cause mass panic across the country, which would be devastating enough on its own, but the chaos could be a perfect opportunity for a U.S. land invasion.

Nuclear strikes

Nuclear war is nothing new. Many of us grew up during the Cold War, built fallout shelters, and learned to duck and cover. But times have changed. The Berlin Wall fell and so did the preparedness of the average American to weather a nuclear attack. As technology has advanced, more of our adversaries than ever have U.S. cities within their crosshairs, and as Glenn has pointed out, these adversaries are not exactly shy about that fact. Unfortunately, the possibility of an atomic apocalypse is as real as ever.

Immigration warfare

The strategy of strangling an opposing nation's economy to gain the upper hand is a wartime tactic as old as time. That's why the Border Crisis is so alarming. What better way to damage an opponent's economy than by overburdening it with millions of undocumented immigrants? As Glenn has covered, these immigrants are not making the trek unaided. There is a wide selection of organizations that facilitate this growing disaster. These organizations are receiving backing from around the globe, such as the WEF, the UN, and U.S. Democrats! Americans are already feeling the effects of the border crisis. Imagine how this tactic could be exploited in war.

Cyber shutdowns

Bill Hinton / Contributor | Getty Images

Cyber attacks will be a major tactic in future wars. We've already experienced relatively minor cyber strikes from Russia, China, and North Korea, and it is a very real possibility that one of our adversaries inflicts a larger attack with devastating consequences on the United States. In fact, the WEF has already predicted a "catastrophic" cyber attack is imminent, and Glenn suggests that it is time to start preparing ourselves. A cyber attack could be every bit as devastating as an EMP, and in a world run by computers, nothing is safe.

Biological assault

Don't trust the "experts." That was the takeaway many of us had from the pandemic, but something less talked about is the revelation that China has manufactured viruses that are capable of spreading across the globe. We now know that the lab leak hypothesis is true and that the Wuhan lab manufactured the virus that infected the entire world. That was only ONE virus from ONE lab. Imagine what else the enemies of America might be cooking up.

The government is WAGING WAR against these 3 basic needs

NICHOLAS KAMM / Contributor | Getty Images

The government has launched a full-on assault against our basic needs, and people are starting to take notice.

As long-time followers of Glenn are probably aware, our right to food, water, and power is under siege. The government no longer cares about our general welfare. Instead, our money lines the pockets of our politicians, funds overseas wars, or goes towards some woke-ESG-climate-Great Reset bullcrap. And when they do care, it's not in a way that benefits the American people.

From cracking down on meat production to blocking affordable power, this is how the government is attacking your basic needs:

Food

Fiona Goodall / Stringer | Getty Images

Glenn had Rep. Thomas Massie on his show where he sounded the alarm about the attack on our food. The government has been waging war against our food since the thirties when Congress passed the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938. They started by setting strict limits on how many crops a farmer could grow in a season and punishing anyone who grew more—even if it was intended for personal use, not for sale on the market. This sort of autocratic behavior has continued into the modern day and has only gotten more draconian. Today, not only are you forced to buy meat that a USDA-approved facility has processed, but the elites want meat in general off the menu. Cow farts are too dangerous to the environment, so the WEF wants you to eat climate-friendly alternatives—like bugs.

Water

ALESSANDRO RAMPAZZO / Contributor | Getty Images

As Glenn discussed during a recent Glenn TV special, the government has been encroaching on our water for years. It all started when Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, which gave the government the ability to regulate large bodies of water. As the name suggests, the act was primarily intended to keep large waterways clear of pollution, but over time it has allowed the feds to assume more and more control over the country's water supply. Most recently, the Biden administration attempted to expand the reach of the Clean Water Act to include even more water and was only stopped by the Supreme Court.

Electricity

David McNew / Staff | Getty Images

Dependable, affordable electricity has been a staple of American life for decades, but that might all be coming to an end. Glenn has discussed recent actions taken by Biden, like orders to halt new oil and gas production and efforts to switch to less efficient sources of power, like wind or solar, the price of electricity is only going to go up. This, alongside his efforts to limit air conditioning and ban gas stoves, it almost seems Biden is attempting to send us back to the Stone Age.
