Glenn and The Grammys: What did he think of Muse?

February 14, 2011
 Wilson

Writer

What has been the shocker of the morning? Glenn started off the show with coverage of the Grammys! One of Glenn’s favorite bands, Muse, performed and he talked about the performance and put it into the context of the current political atmosphere.

“I want to start some place unusual.  I want to start with the Grammys last night and the video and the audio of Muse.  Muse, I don't know, did they win anything last night?” Glenn asked, obviously carrying less about the bands awards than the messages of their music.

“ I didn't watch the Grammys.  Don't really care,” he added.

Muse won Best Rock Album.

“They are unbelievable, in the unbelievable group, and this is a song that we played on this program about a year ago and I said, listen to the lyrics of this.  Now, go ahead and roll the tape of Muse last night on the Grammys.  Now, it starts with the video screens in the back with the Gadsden flag, the snake saying don't tread on me,” Glenn said.

They then played Muse’s “Uprising”.

“The lyrics of this song are so unbelievably powerful and they are ‑‑ they are not going to degrade us anymore, they're not going to ‑‑ they're not going to shape us or anything else.  It's us,” Glenn said of the song’s lyrics.

“We have the power.  In the lyrics here, they're talking about how paranoia is everywhere, they are trying to push drugs and everything else to keep us all dumbed down”

“They will not force us.  They'll stop degrading us.  They will not control us.  We'll be victorious.”

Glenn explained that the song provided the inspiration for the 2010 theme of his radio show.

During Muse’s performance, the Gadsden flag was shown at the beginning. Why was this significant?

“The Gadsden flag at the beginning of this has been, you know, represents in many ways the Tea Party spirit,” he explained. “At the end of this it shows Camilla and Prince Charles in the back of their Rolls Royce where they are trying to beat them and kill them in the streets.  And it shows flames coming up in the video screens, et cetera, et cetera.  So you have basically a call for revolution by this group.”

“Now, you have to remember these are Europeans and they have been degraded for a very long time.  Really since the beginning of time.  They have had very few glimpses of real freedom.  Even when England won the second world war, they didn't go into freedom.  That's where the Road to Serfdom came from because Winston Churchill and many others all said, wait, what are you doing?  We're going the wrong direction.  And it didn't go to freedom.  It went to the Road to Serfdom.”

“There are those that are calling for revolution and they are everywhere, and they are the Muslim extremists, they are the communist revolutionaries, they are the anarchists, and then you have the Tea Party movement.  The Tea Party movement is not calling for revolution.  The Tea Party movement is calling for a restoration.”

“If the Tea Party movement has anarchists or revolutionaries in it, it is trouble because revolution doesn't help anyone, as I believe we will see in Egypt in the end.  Everyone is celebrating this Egyptian revolution.  I don't think it ends well.”

Alan Dershowitz: 'It's clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL' to impeach Trump after leaving office

As the Senate prepares for former President Trump's second impeachment trial, many are asking whether it's constitutional to try a president after leaving office. Alan Dershowitz, lawyer and host of the of "The Dershow," joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to talk about the legal battles Trump still faces.

Dershowitz said he believes the Senate doesn't have the authority to convict Trump, now that he's a private citizen again, and thus can't use impeachment to bar him from running for office again.

"The Constitution says the purpose of impeachment is to remove somebody. He [Trump] is out of office. There's nothing left to do.
It doesn't say you can impeach him to disqualify him for the future. It says, if you remove him you can then add disqualification, but you can't just impeach somebody to disqualify them," Dershowitz said.

"The Senate can't try ordinary citizens. So once you're an ordinary citizen, you get tried only in the courts, not in the Senate. So it's clearly unconstitutional," he added.

Dershowitz, who served on Trump's legal team during the first impeachment trial, also discussed whether he thinks Trump is legally (or even just ethically) responsible for the Capitol riot earlier this month, and whether those engaging in violence could be considered "domestic terrorists."

SHOCKING POLL: Majority of Americans think 'other Americans' are greatest risk to US

A new, shocking CBS News poll shows that the majority of Americans believe they're facing a new enemy: other Americans.

More than two-thirds of poll respondents said they believe democracy in the U.S. is "threatened," and 54% said "other people in America" are the "biggest threat to the American way of life," rather than economic factors, viruses, natural disasters, or foreign actors.

Will it be possible to unite our nation with statistics like that? On "The Glenn Beck Radio Program," Glenn and Stu discussed the poll numbers and what they mean for our future.

'The cult of Trump': As Biden era begins, calls grow louder to 'deprogram' Trump supporters

Countless leaders on the left are now arguing that removing President Donald Trump from office won't be enough — they're now calling for the president's "cult-like" supporters to be "deprogrammed." And it's not just fringe politicians.

During an appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week, former NBC anchor Katie Couric said, "The question is, how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump."

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi questioned whether the nation needs "a 9/11-type commission" to determine whether President Trump was colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin "the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol." Clinton also made sure to include her favorite "deplorables" in her unsubstantiated conspiracy theory:

"But we now know that not just [Trump] but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy," Clinton said to Pelosi.

Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and New York Times Magazine's Nikole Hannah-Jones agreed that there is a need for "millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republicans" to be deprogrammed and punished, during an MSNBC interview last week.

Now, a story from the Washington Post is also preaching that narrative and even added that we need more restrictions for conservatives on social media and in the broadcast industry.

"So now we have to be deprogrammed? We've heard this over and over and over and over again, for months," said Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday. He read through the shocking details of the Washington Post op-ed and discussed the extraordinary dangers of the latest anti-conservative movement in America.

'We are the Alamo, we will stand': As calls for censorship get louder, Glenn Beck urges Americans to stand together

As calls for censorship and restrictions against conservative voices get louder, Glenn Beck said he feels an "awesome responsibility" to speak, not the words he'd personally like to say, but those he believes the Lord would want him to share.

"It's an awesome responsibility, and one that I am not worthy of," Glenn said. "I want to say ... what He wants me to say. And I have to listen very carefully, because I feel the same way you do. But that will get us nowhere."

Glenn said it's time for Americans who are awake — not woke — to come together, no matter which side of the political aisle you're on, and stand with the truth.

"We are the Alamo, we will stand. But we desperately, desperately need you," Glenn said. "We need the people who are awake — not woke — awake. You may disagree with us. We are your allies, not your enemies. And if you will not stand with us in our hour of need, there will be no one left to stand with you in your hour of need. We must all come together, anyone who is awake."
