Glenn: You cannot remain silent. One way or another, you will be counted.

June 24, 2015

WRITER

Remember when Glenn said that Valerie Jarrett's family had an FBI file? He was called a hate monger, a conspiracy theorist, and a racist. It turns out he was right, but the progressives don’t even care. The radical pasts are being whitewashed, the country fundamentally transformed. It may feel like it’s too late, but you must take a stand. Glenn believes this audience will play a role in saving the country, and the time to unite is now.

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it may contain errors.

GLENN: Years ago, we told you the story of Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett. We told you how they came together. We told you that Barack Obama, everybody in his family had an FBI file. And everybody in Valerie Jarrett's family had an FBI file. We were called hatemongers. We were called racists.

PAT: Conspiracy theorists.

GLENN: All these kinds of names. It has now been verified --

PAT: Yeah, but just by the FBI.

GLENN: Yeah, just by the FBI, that Valerie Jarrett's family -- her father, her grandfather, and father-in-law all had an active FBI file because they were hard-core communists.

PAT: Under investigation by the US government.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

PAT: Her dad, pathologist and geneticist, James Bowman, extensive ties to communist associations and individuals, according to his lengthy FBI file.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

PAT: In 1950, he was in communication with a paid Soviet agent named Alfred Stern, who fled to Prague after getting charged with espionage. Bowman Was also a member of a communist sympathizing group called the Association of Interns and Medical Students.

He moved to Iran to work, according to the FBI. And we all know that.

Also, her father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett, also another big-time Chicago communist, he's the one that had all the association with Frank Marshall Davis, right? Who was Obama's --

GLENN: Uh-huh. Communist friend and mentor.

PAT: -- community friend and mentor.

GLENN: Uh-huh. So we have -- we have all of this. Now it doesn't matter. We have been tainted as conspiracy theorists. They have been white-washed. They're communists.

And, you know, you cannot -- again, I'd like to hear the turnaround story of the president. Okay. So you have communists in your life. Okay, you grew up with a mom and dad that hated America. Grandparents that hated America. Frank Marshall Davis, who is -- is really one of the spookiest guys you'll ever meet.

And that's knowing that Jeremiah Wright is down the line. You have all these people. Tell me your turning point. Because you could have a turning point. You could have all these people in your life. You could grow up hating America and then you could go, you know what, I was wrong about all of that. He's never had a turning point. Nobody's ever asked him. Same thing with Valerie Jarrett.

So what does this mean? Nothing at this point. Nothing. Nothing. Except the people that are leading you in Washington do not view this country the same way. The fundamental transformation of America is something that has been planned for decades. Decades.

It started with Woodrow Wilson. It was -- it was picked up by radicals in the 1950s and 1960s. Communist radicals. Those communist radicals had children, and they are currently in power. This is why the government of the United States makes no sense to most Americans.

It's why we're violating our Constitution. Because they do not recognize that Constitution as something sacred as we do.

I want to talk to you here. And I want you to listen to me. And maybe only 10 percent of this audience will hear this.

But it's that 10 percent I'm counting on. I have told you from the very beginning that I've had a feeling, probably starting in 2005 or 2006, I've had a feeling, this audience is going to play a role in the saving of this republic. Now, I don't know how it's saved. I can't tell you how it's saved.

We passed all the exits. I begged America to get off all the exits. We passed them all. Next stop: Cliff.

The bottom of the canyon. I don't know how we save it. Maybe we save it in remnants in pieces. Maybe our children hold it in their hearts. I don't know. Maybe we turn things around so dramatically, that we do save it intact as it is.

But I felt that for a very long time. I have told you that I have had promptings. And if you don't believe in promptings, that's fine. Whatever. I believe that God speaks to all of us. All of us. He's speaking to you.

But it's all hands on deck. And I've said for a long time, I don't even know how to do any of that stuff, and it doesn't make any sense.

And I know that what we're supposed to do is things like we did last Friday. It's why we're kicking things off in Birmingham, Alabama. I think Birmingham, Alabama is going to be a place that restarts the country. It's known for all of the bad things that happened in the '50s. I think Birmingham, Alabama, is going to be known for all of the good things that happen here on out, just like Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston is forever going to be known for its good people, and I think Birmingham is going to be next on that list.

The South will rise again, and this time it will save the country, not divide the country.

But I've told you for a while, and many people have not understood. And I'm begging you now to try to understand. I'm begging you now to take your life and your time seriously now. Far more seriously than you've ever taken anything before. I am -- I am issuing a call. Please, please, I beg of you, this is far more serious now than anything when we started the Tea Parties or anything else. This is it.

The gay marriage ruling is about to happen. We told you last hour what that means. You could lose your job. The world will change. Now, the other one won't happen overnight. But your First Amendment right is going to go away. Possibly your job. My job.

And the world also will change overnight if we have a massive terror attack. If Greece collapses, I don't know how that happens, but that's the beginning domino of what sets the European theater on fire.

At some point, the last domino falls, and we've got nothing. We have to be men and women of character. We have to stand.

You know, there's a symbol now that is being spray-painted over in the Middle East, and it basically looks like a U with a dot over the center of the U. Do you know what that means?

They spray paint it -- they're now spray painting it on doorways. A U with a dot over it. That means Nazarene. That means somebody who worships the Nazarene is in this house. That means, if you're spray-painted, that means they're coming to kill you and your family and burn down that house.

That's what's happening in the world. These guys are so sick over in the Middle East, they have now built cages and put GoPro cameras on the cages. And they're putting them down and sinking them with people in it in the pools. They're drowning them and then watching them. And putting them online. They have now taken explosive cord and wrapped it around eight people's necks and blown their heads off.

Evil has been unleashed.

Last night, I posted on Facebook, I posted that I was going to be speaking at a church here locally. And it's a megachurch. This is a big church. It's a great church.

Ed Young is the pastor there. Good man. They do a lot of really great stuff. People started posting: Wait a minute. You're a Mormon. You can't talk there. I would never go to a church if a Mormon was talking. Then somebody else started posting: Well, that's a megachurch. Don't ever walk into megachurches, because those megachurches, they're in it only for the money.

Somebody else posted: Well, it's you Christians -- what are you? Crazy? Are we insane? Have we lost all perspective? Do we not know what time it is?

We better come together. We better come together for reconciliation and not winning. Just reconciliation. Put our differences aside. Love over revenge. Charity over restitution. Hope over fear. Courage over apathy and cowardice.

If I were to be hit by a bus today, I could at least go to my grave saying, I did my best to prepare this audience. I did my best. I didn't know how to do it any better.

There's a reason we're all together. There's a reason you're listening now.

I think we're still a little early. We still have time to prepare. But my gut says the world is going to catch up. It's going to catch up to us before we're ready and before we want it to. But I still tell you and I believe this, this is the audience that can and will change the course of history. We can bend the arc of history towards justice and reconciliation and love. Away from hate. Away from discord.

Charleston changed the course. There are many that want to bend the arc of history towards hate and violence and race wars and civil war and destruction.

Those who want to stoke the fires of hatred, they lost! Because people stood together. People of all different color. Of all different faith. From all over the world. They stood in Charleston.

And so what happened? The people who wanted to stoke hate, they didn't know what to do. They didn't know how to deal with you.

Darkness does not understand the light. And so they went for something else that could divide us: The Confederate flag. Let's go there. Well, Governor Haley disrupted their plan.

Because, really, is a flag -- even the American flag -- I'm sorry, even the American flag -- it's the principles. It's not the symbol. And there are far too many important things -- when you looked at that, I don't care what side of that argument you were on, when you looked at that, did you not say, really?

This is what's -- this is the problem? The flag, that's the problem? That's going to solve our issues?

No.

But this is what they do. They are not honest brokers, and they want to discourage you, and they want to break you. They need the bottom to rise up and cry out: Somebody do something! Because they are prepared to do something. They are prepared to squash the violence.

We must stand in the gap. That's our job. To stand in the gap where no one else will stand because they're too afraid. Courage is contagious.

It begins with raising your hand right now and saying, never again is right now. We said this insanity would not take place again. Not while I was on alive. Raise your hand and be counted because I warn you, you will be counted. Silence in the face of silence is itself evil. Silence in the face of evil is in itself evil.

You cannot remain silent. You will be counted.

Do something. Stand together.

I will be counted. I'm thinking about spray painting on my own house the symbol of the Nazarene. If that's what makes me a target, so be it. Target me first.

We must love all men. How Hillary Clinton can be getting the hate that she is getting online right now from the left because she said in a black church, all lives matter, and they are saying to her, no, they don't. It is black lives that matter!

You know what side is right. It is not black lives. It is not white lives. It is not blue lives. It is not unborn lives. It's not old lives. Young lives. Special lives. Rich lives. Poor lives. It's all lives matter!

Life is what sets us apart. We are a people of life! Other cultures are a culture of death. We are of life!

All lives matter.

Get your hotel room and join me 8/28 and 8/29 at Birmingham, Alabama. It's time we stand. Get your church to come. Get a bus organized and come. And it's time for all of us to stand together, and then leave that place with new friends and so when there is a -- when there is something that happens like it did in Charleston, we don't have to put out a call. We're already there. We're standing in the gap. When Ferguson happens, we're already there. When Baltimore happens, we're in the gap.

We stand. We say, enough! We say there are true eternal principles, and we will follow them, even to the jailhouses, even to the death, because I worship the Nazarene.

Never again is now. If you'd like to contribute, you can do it at mercuryone.org. If you'd like to join us, more details coming up. But get your hotel room, 8/28 and 8/29, in Birmingham, Alabama.

5 videos that reveal the WOKE GARBAGE being taught to our kids

School today is not like it used to be...

Glenn recently covered how our medical schools have been taken over by gender-affirming, anti-racist, woke garbage, and unfortunately, it doesn't stop there. Education at all levels has been compromised by progressive ideology. From high-level university academics to grade school, American children are constantly being bombarded by the latest backward propaganda from the left. Luckily, in the age of Zoom classes and smartphones, it's harder for teachers to get away their agenda in secret. Here are five videos that show just how corrupt schools really are:

Woke teacher vandalizes pro-life display

Professor Shellyne Rodriguez, an art professor at Hunter College in New York, was caught on camera having a violent argument with a group of pro-life students who were tabling on campus. Rodriguez was later fired from her position after threatening a reporter from the New York Post, who was looking into this incident, with a machete.

Woke professor argues with student after he called police heroes

An unnamed professor from Cypress College was captured having a heated discussion with a student over Zoom. The professor verbally attacked the student, who had given a presentation on "cancel culture" and his support of law enforcement. The university later confirmed that the professor was put on leave after the incident.

Professor goes on Anti-Trump rant

Professor Olga Perez Stable Cox was filmed by a student going on an anti-Trump rant during her human-sexuality class at Orange Coast College. This rant included Professor Cox describing Trump's election as "an act of terrorism”. The student who filmed this outburst was suspended for an entire semester along with several other punishments, including a three-page apology essay to Professor Cox explaining his actions. Orange Coast College continues to defend Professor Cox, citing the student code of conduct.

Unhinged teacher caught on video going on left-wing political rant

Lehi High School teacher Leah Kinyon was filmed amid a wild, left-wing rant during a chemistry class. Kinyon made several politically charged remarks, which included encouraging students to get vaccinated and calling President Trump a "literal moron." Despite her claims that the school admins "don't give a crap" about her delusional ramblings, a statement from Lehi High School reveals that she "is no longer an employee of Alpine School District."

Far-left Berkeley law professor melts down when a Senator asks her if men can get pregnant

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Berkeley Law Professor Khiara M. Bridges was asked by Missouri Senator Josh Hawley to clarify earlier statements involving "people with a capacity for pregnancy." The senator's line of questioning is met with a long-winded, frantic rant accusing the senator of being transphobic. When Sen. Hawley tries to clarify further, Professor Bridges makes the outrageous claim that such a line of questioning somehow leads to trans suicides.

Woke ideology trumps medicine in America's top 5 medical schools

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

Progressive ideology has infected our most prestigious medical schools and is seeping into our medical system.

As Glenn covered in his latest TV special, "diversity, equity and inclusion" (DEI), and leftist rhetoric have overtaken science and medicine as the focus of medical schools across the nation. The next generation of doctors and nurses is being force-fed DEI and "anti-racist" nonsense at the expense of slipping standards. This has led to a decline in people's trust in the medical industry and for good reason. Woke ideology has already been the driving force behind at least one medical malpractice case, and more are undoubtedly on the way.

All of this is being spearheaded by universities, which have integrated DEI practices into the fabric of their programs. Our top medical schools now require students and staff to participate in mandatory DEI and "anti-racist" classes and training and are adjusting the standards to reflect this new shift in focus. Here are 5 statements from the top American medical schools that show that medicine is no longer their primary focus:

Barriers to inclusion may include assumptions we make about others that guide our interactions. Recognizing our Unconscious Bias is a critical step in developing a culture of equity and inclusion within HMS and in our partnerships with other communities.”

"Courses are being revised to be more inclusive and informed by the key principle of race as a social construct and a social determinant of health. We are training faculty that Anti-Racism is not an add-on to a course. Anti-Racism is a pedagogy - a manner of teaching, designing courses, and measuring learning outcomes. We make sure that the classroom environment is inclusive by holding space for respectful conversation and ensuring that we address any “classroom ruptures”– a disorienting dilemma or situation when a bias or microaggression that may occur, providing real time opportunities for professional development, learning, and growth. Racist actions and remarks are never tolerated at Columbia University and will be dealt with following established protocols."

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

David McNew / Staff | Getty Images

"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

Joe Raedle / Staff | Getty Images

"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

Dan Mullan / Staff | Getty Images

"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

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

"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?
