Intentional, Provoked Violence Is Coming — Don't Give in to It

March 21, 2016
 Lori Hanes

Writer

Violence erupted again at a Donald Trump rally over the weekend, and Trump supporters need to know one thing: They're being used as pawns by George Soros and those wanting to destabilize the West.

Chaos is their goal, and it was on full display in Arizona. The highway leading into a Trump rally was shut down by Soros-funded Black Lives Matter protestors. Inside another venue, a Trump protestor wore a KKK hood, deliberately trying to agitate the crowd.

"So these people came in, and of course, they're going to be pigs — not the Trump people, the Black Lives Matter, Soros people," Glenn said Monday on The Glenn Beck Program. "They are trying to get you to strike back."

Restraint is key — be angry, be vocal, but don't react with violence.

Glenn commented on one Trump supporter who reacted in horrific violence, punching and kicking a protestor who was being escorted out of a rally.

"This is the French Revolution, not the American Revolution. And it doesn't end well," Glenn said. "You want the French Revolution or the American Revolution? One ends horribly. The other ends in a rebirth of freedom."

Enjoy this complimentary clip from The Glenn Beck Program:

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

GLENN: Also, in Arizona, there was a --it's getting ugly. It is really getting ugly. Soros is funding the Black Lives Matter riots. There is a whole system now that they have set up to prepare us -- to prepare them, the Occupy Wall Street and the Black Lives Matter people, including the Muslim Brotherhood, Soros is funding this -- really, this training camp over the summer, where you can learn how to protest and how to break things up and be violent. I'm sorry. He's suggesting that they're not violent at all.

And you know the Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, and Muslim Brotherhood people are never violent. So he's funding, for instance, in -- in Phoenix, this shutdown of the freeway. Did you see that -- follow that over the weekend?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And these people just shut the freeway down. And they were all Black Lives Matter, Soros people.

(BREAK)

GLENN: Soros like the imams over in Iran, like the -- the people over in Europe that are -- what is it, The Coming Insurrection people, like Occupy Wall Street, like Black Lives Matter, they all want one thing, and that is chaos.

So Soros could be explained as easily as he wants chaos. He wants it to go to a brokered convention because he knows that will cause all kinds of problems. He wants to shut down the streets and have riots in the streets. It doesn't matter. Just shut them down. He is looking for chaos. And who is the father of chaos? I would just like to remind you.

Chaos is what people are shooting for right now that want to collapse the West.

So two stories out of Arizona, besides the roads being shut down by the Black Lives Matter people. When you see Black Lives Matter, I want you to understand, we've already been through this. This is Occupy Wall Street. Black Lives Matter. The Muslim Brotherhood. This is the Occupy Wall Street movement, version two.

And remember what all -- Occupy Wall Street and the press wanted to happen. They wanted us to strike back. When we didn't strike back, they disappeared. They had no power. But the minute they found, "Oh, we can get somebody to strike back at us, it's going to cause riots in the street." This is George Soros, remember. Top-down, bottom-up, inside-out. That's George Soros because he saw it work in Hungary when the communists took over.

You get enough of your people in the government, you get riots on the street, the people -- the regular people scream out and say, "Somebody has got to make this stop." The top comes down, turns the country inside out, and it's over. So the worst thing you can do is respond in anger or violence. But try that at a Trump rally.

So these people came in. And, of course, they're going to be pigs. Not the Trump people. The Black Lives Matter, Soros people. Of course. They are trying to get you to strike back.

So somebody goes into this Trump rally. I think it was a woman. And this person -- I don't know if it was a woman or a man. This person puts on a Klan hood in the middle of Donald Trump's rally. Now, how do you think that's going to go over?

STU: Had his back patted by the people near him.

GLENN: What?

STU: People started patting their back.

GLENN: Yes. You could do that in any really. You could do that at a Cruz rally, and it's not going to go over. You do that in a Trump rally, and you have a very good chance of getting coldcocked in the face.

Well, what a surprise. Trump says, "Get that person out of here. That's disgusting." Well, of course, his crowd will get that person out of there. This person was vile, despicable, you name it. I am not siding with this person with the Klan hood.

But as they're being escorted upstairs, a black guy coldcocks this person, which is bad enough. Then this person is laying down on the ground of the steps, and he body-blow kicks her repeatedly. It is something like I've never seen before. It was despicable. Absolutely despicable.

Violence is coming. And I'm going to leave it at that. Violence is coming 1968-style. And it's coming to our conventions, unless we get a hold of ourselves.

And when I say that, I want the Trump people to hear me clearly: You're being set up. Do you understand that? Look at the history. Look at what Occupy Wall Street did. They want you to strike back. And your fearless leader is too arrogant to figure out what's going on. And your fearless leader is not leading you to a place of peace. He is telling you that he will pay for your legal fees.

You will be responsible for the end of the republic if you don't wise up and figure this out: restraint. You can be as angry as you want. Restraint. "Well, they deserved it." Restraint. The republic is at stake. And you're being set up.

Does that make sense to anybody? If you know people are trying to get you to do something, you're an idiot if you go and do it. What do you think they want?

Now, let me tell you another story: In that blockade, there was -- of the freeway, which was despicable again. George Soros money. The blockade happens. This guy who is driving his construction truck, he's sitting there. He's stuck in traffic. He's a youth pastor. And he's just trying to get to his church.

Everybody is in line trying to get to this Trump rally. He's just trying to get to his church for service. The blockade happens. CNN covers it. His truck is up front with the name of his construction company. The Trump supporters are now calling in death threats to his construction company. He was a youth pastor. He has nothing to do with it. He was stuck in traffic, just like everyone else. But you went and jumped to the conclusion that he was involved. This is the French Revolution, not the American Revolution. And it doesn't end well.

But it seems like all we're doing right now is just jockeying for who will be the next dictator. Could it be Barack Obama? Could it be Bernie Sanders? Could it be Clinton? Could it be -- why not? Donald Trump? They're all jockeying for power. None of them for the principles of the Constitution. You want the French Revolution or the American Revolution?

One ends horribly. The other ends in a rebirth of freedom.

(OUT AT 8:25AM)

GLENN: So what did -- I read a quote. I thought this was an old quote. Is, do we know yet about what Donald Trump has said or not?

STU: We're looking at it. I heard it this morning on the radio.

GLENN: Is he paying the guy's legal fees. Do we know that yet? Is he --

STU: Because there's multiple -- you talked about someone in a hood who got kicked. The one I saw was in an American flag shirt that got kicked on the ground.

GLENN: Okay. That's why I said I wasn't sure. Because I think the woman in the hat -- in the hood, I think that was a woman.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: And I think she was leaving, and maybe somebody else was kicked down to the ground or something. I don't know. I saw the video on the plane. But I know that, if it wasn't the woman in the hood, then it was somebody else that was being escorted. And she was -- and he was punched in the face, down to the ground, and then kicked. Repeated body blows. That guy should be in jail. I don't know if he --

PAT: He was arrested. I mean, it looks like they were taking him.

GLENN: And what is the story of Trump's campaign manager roughing somebody else out and getting him out?

STU: So there's a protester that they were -- the campaign manager and another guy were standing next to. He started walking away. The same guy who grabbed the girl and called all the controversy last week. He grabbed this guy by the collar. Pulled him back.

The guy to his left, at the same time, also pulled him back and pulled him back harder. The Trump campaign was, well, this -- it wasn't Corey Lewandowski, our campaign manager. You can see him clearly grab his collar and pull him back.

But he said, really, he was reacting to the other guy who pulled much harder, and they tried to blow it off on that. Took about 24 hours for it to be revealed that the other guy was also a Trump campaign worker that the campaign just forgot to mention that in their denial.

PAT: And it shows.

STU: They blamed it on the other guy, and it was their guy too.

PAT: And it shows that's what he does. So it kind of reinforces the proof of the other one.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: It does. They're all New York, Mafioso-style thugs. That's all they are.

PAT: Yeah, they're thugs. Yeah.

GLENN: And I can't believe -- I mean, there's got to be some Trump supporters -- because Trump supporters, there's a lot of people, I've met people who are --

PAT: Reasonable.

GLENN: Don't like me because of what I'm saying. And I'm not saying they're necessarily open-minded on things, but they are not thugs. They're not thugs. They're not somebody that is going to kick somebody when they're down.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And I think the vast majority of Trump supporters are like that, they won't kick somebody when they go down. It's probably 10 percent of Trump supporters that are bad, really bottom-of-the-barrel, Occupy Wall Street, except -- I hate to say on the conservative side. They think they're on the right. They're just, they're progressive Republicans. They have to be.

You know, I saw a study this weekend: What do Trump supporters have in common? Did you guys see this? We have to look for this. They did a test, and I got to read the test to you. They did a test. They put questions out on the field and said, "Are you a Trump supporter?" If you said yes, they asked you all of these questions: Pick this or this. Which is better? This or this? And they found the thread through all of them. And you have -- if you're a Trump supporter, you have one thing in common for sure, and that is authoritarianism.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: We've seen that. We've seen a test like that. But have you actually read the questions?

STU: I think I did read some of the --

GLENN: Yeah, they were very interesting. Very interesting questions. We'll give those questions to you here in a minute and see if you -- see how you answer them. Because that's what they have in -- I like the power of the government to take care of things and take care of business.

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS: We ARE NOT the people to give in to violence

PxHere

I want to talk to you about something that probably didn't make a lot of sense a long time ago. In fact, I can't tell you how many program directors and how many stations threatened to cancel. Or how many calls I got from the average listener saying; What the hell are you even talking about when I talked about, the leadership of Martin Luther King.

I have done everything I can — as much as I possibly can — to teach you about Martin Luther King and nonviolent protests. And I don't think there's anybody in the media who has talked about nonviolence longer and more in-depth on commercial airwaves than me. Preachers, certainly. But commercial airwaves — I don't think anybody has.

Now I think many are beginning to understand why I tried to lay that foundation. I have told you since September 11th that I have this feeling you are going to be the group of people that will, in the end, save the republic.

I've always believed that. I don't know how it's saved. It might just be preserved in our hearts, I don't know. But I believe it now.

I never wanted us to get to this point — everything I've done is to prevent us from getting here. But everybody is so politically tied to their side that no one will let their shields down and actually listen to one another.

And we're at that desperate point now.

You are equipped to save the republic because you at least hopefully have a fundamental understanding of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And you have at least a basic understanding of American history. More importantly, what makes this audience so phenomenal is that it is the most generous and service-minded audience of any show in America and perhaps the world.

That's part of what continues to be so frustrating about the Capitol invasion last week. Because you're being maligned.

You.

I know who you are. This is the most peaceful, generous, loving, God-fearing, authentic and patriotic audience in America. And you are frustrated and you are tired of being hit in the face and being called bigot and everything else no matter what you do.

I've been called an anti-Semite just in the last 24 hours by everybody, unjustly.

I get it.

You are now being tainted by the actions of complete imbeciles who do not represent you and me. It's not fair. But that's the hand that we're being dealt and God is in charge and He is not surprised.

We know the left's current tactics fail in the long run. Silencing. Canceling. Taking away rights.

We know the left's current tactics fail in the long run. Silencing. Canceling. Taking away rights. These are the hallmarks of regime, after regime, after Marxist regime on the ash heaps of history. Now China is still there because they've taken the so-called free market and took the capitalist system and they combined it with their Marxist utopia.

I don't know what's going to happen to the people over there. Especially seeing that our high-tech has joined them to weed out the dissidents. But it's not inevitable that we join them.

And it is going to require us to take a stand. Just not in the way that most people — especially if they're angry — think is most effective. Look at the ratings of BLM. 78 percent of Americans, at the beginning of the summer, thought that they were swell.

That number is in the low 20s now. Why? Because violence doesn't work.

I don't know if you saw the fellowship of the ring, but if you did, do you remember when Frodo said: "I don't want to do this!"

He's lamenting having to face down the evil and he's just one guy. I'll never forget it because it was right after 9/11, that the movie came out. I'll never forget Gandalf's reply. He said: "So do we all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what we're going to do with the time that is given us."

We can't decide what others are going to do. We can't control the dangerous Orwellian darkness that seems to be descending on America. All we can control is our response and strive to lead by example. If you know anyone in your sphere of influence who might be planning to attend one of these armed rallies in the coming days, beg them not to go. Do everything you can to stop them.

That's not a way to take a stand and it will not protect anything you hold dear and it will endanger the republic. It is what the other side wants.

So how do we take a stand?

The first thing I need you to do today is to help lower the temperature. It has been so hard for me not to respond to people on Twitter who have called me every name under the sun because I quoted the leading Holocaust historian last night on Tucker Carlson.

But see, that wasn't an attack on me, that was an attack on Tucker. If you can scare the guests from coming on to Tucker, you destroy Tucker. That's what they're doing.

Do not vent your anger on social media. At this point, it is probably just going to get your account shut down.

I want you to write this down and I want you to keep this in front of you.

Blessed are the peacemakers. For they will be called the children of God.

That means something today, much more than it did six months ago.

Blessed be the peacemakers.

Be a peacemaker.

And this is the hard part, you can't disconnect. Because things are moving too rapidly. You must stay plugged in.

But I want you to reach out to someone in kindness on social media. Encourage someone. Do not engage with the darkness. Be the light in the corner of your world.

You need to be a leader for what is to come.

And I know I'm asking you almost the impossible. I know you're angry and frustrated and it is gut-wrenching to feel that you're powerless to stop your nation from what you believe is sliding into the abyss.

You are not powerless. You are not voiceless.

I believe it too, with everything in me. I wish I was wrong. I hope that I am. I pray that I am. But know this: You are not powerless. You are not voiceless. You may be the only voice that anyone hears. Voices like mine will go away. I am trying to think of what I need to share with you before, God forbid, that ever happens. Because I cannot live with myself if I talked about something stupid politically and I find my voice silenced and then saying, I wish I would have said this or I wish I would have told them that.

You wield more power than you know. Not because of your voice or being able to call your congressman. You're more powerful than you know because you understand the real problem in America. The real problem in America is not political.

It is spiritual.

If you're like me when you get angry, you think that you are going to take on this challenge on your own — you are not being humble. You think you'll fix it. Everything that is happening to us is because we are an arrogant, out of control people.

We must humble ourselves. Please, you have the skill and the strength to endure the fiery darts that are going to come your way or already are. But this is a problem with our hearts.

You cannot reach someone's head without capturing their heart and no one is going to capture anyone's heart through violence.

Start in your own home and then reach out and if you're able, serve your neighbor. If you can, serve your local community. You must be a beacon of light in a very dark place. I'm going to ask you to do something you're really not going to like. And that's how I know things are from God. When I hear something or I think something and I'm like — oh crap, I don't want to do that — and you just know it it's right. You just know it's what God wants. And you're hoping that maybe you didn't hear it.

And it's so horrible. Because it's the last thing you want to do. But God is unlike many of our churches and preachers, He doesn't tell us what we want to hear. He doesn't have to pay for the church or get collection. Or be judged by how many people go.

Rise above the fray, with service and love, with malice toward none and charity toward all.

He'll say the same thing and he'll lose whole flocks. And they'll eventually start to go — oh wait, where is the Shepherd again?

But I have to tell you now some things that I want you to do. And they're not new. But I need you to hear me. I am asking you if you want to stand for the republic, I need you first to pray.

Pray like you've never prayed before. Pray for humility. Pray for guidance. Pray for peace. Pray for those people who you think you hate. Because you don't. Because hatred does not come from any good place.

Then I want you go out and serve someone in any way possible. On inauguration day especially, get your family and your children involved. Volunteer somewhere, take someone a meal. Do something to lift the spirits of hospital workers or your local police department.

Help a stranger mow a lawn, fix someone's car, pick up trash on the side of the highway. Do what you can do. But the most important thing is to do it with a sincere heart. And if someone asks you, why are you doing this? Just say, because I love my country.

Rise above the fray with service and love, with malice toward none and charity toward all.

'I will NEVER stop standing for freedom of speech': Glenn Beck reacts to Parler shutdown by Big Tech

Early Monday morning, Amazon Web Services removed social networking platform Parler from its cloud servers. This comes just after Apple and Google removed the Parler app from their app stores over the weekend.

"You can't find them on the internet anymore. They're gone," Glenn Beck said on his radio program Monday.

"This is something I warned you of four years ago ... because a profound technological change is coming," he continued. "I told you, at the time, high tech will need the government, and the government will need high tech. And they will work together to preserve their power and their position. This is what's happening, today."

Glenn said he believes the "far left" has been talking about breaking up companies like Parler for years, and that the Capitol riots provided the opportunity they needed.

"This is not the end of this. This is where the Left is starting," he warned. "Those who persist in standing for freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom to assemble, freedom to keep and bear arms, those people will be targeted for deletion. You will be hounded, boycotted, fired, ostracized, and de-platformed. And the louder and the more significant and effective your voice is, the bigger the target is on your back.

"But, let me say this: I will never stop standing for freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom to assemble, freedom to keep and bear arms, and all of the rest of the Bill of Rights. That is the American thing to do."

Glenn Beck: This is the REAL Raphael Warnock and our new 'national religion'

Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

Multiple news outlets have called one of Georgia's Senate runoff elections for the Rev. Raphael Warnock, the Democrat who defeated Republican incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler.

So, on the radio show Wednesday, Glenn Beck looked into what this "radical preacher" has been saying in the past — and what he'll likely bring to the U.S. Senate in the future.

"Warnock is in one of the most influential and powerful stages of the country. And I use the word 'stage' intentionally," Glenn said. "It's the pulpit. He's the guy who says, if you voted for Donald Trump, well, you're a sinner."

Glenn introduced a video clip in which Warnock asserts:

If it is true that a man who has dominated the news and poisoned the discussion for months needs to repent, then it is doubly true that a nation that can produce such a man and make his vitriol go viral, needs to repent. I know, no matter what happens next month, more than a third of the nation that would go along with this, has reason to be afraid. America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness!

"So, (according to Warnock) you should be afraid," Glenn said. "Oh, and whiteness is evil. And, somehow or another, America has been worshiping whiteness ... see, critical race theory is now our new national religion."

Pelosi's overhaul of House rules institutionalizes wokeness, targets conservatives & Trump admin

Wikimedia Commons

Nancy Pelosi and her growing ensemble of radical leftists are making sure that 2021 will be just as terrible as 2020 — terrible, and forcefully gender-neutral. The 117th Congress convened on Sunday, and on Monday, they shifted the goalposts by approving a 45-pages rules package, "H. Res 7," in a 217 to 206 vote. The Rules Package is the brainchild of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-MA).

Yesterday, in a speech to the House, Republican Rep. Tom Cole described the proposals as "some of the harshest and most cynical that I've experienced during my time in Congress." Congressman Steve Scalise accurately called it a "Soviet-Style rules package. ... designed to take away the voice of 48% of this chamber."

Some of the many wild rule changes include a continuation of proxy voting during the coronavirus pandemic, a ban on lawmakers convicted of certain crimes from visiting the House floor, and of course what would Democrats be without their hatred for Donald Trump? With the rule changes, they've found a way to attack Trump even after he's left office. They've added provisions that allow them to send subpoenas to former Presidents, former VPs, and former White House staff long after their administration has left the White House.

They've added provisions that allow them to send subpoenas to former Presidents, former VPs, and former White House...

Pelosi called the plan a "visionary rules package" which "reflects the values of her diverse Democratic majority," framing the proposal as a departure from ignorance, with that elitist under-handed way of condescending to non-woke Americans. She called them "future-focused proposals," as if conservatives and Republicans aren't worried about the future. Democrats honestly believe this. Believe that we pray to God for the destruction of the future, whatever it means. Although, Democrats are certainly not the authority on prayer: They can't even say one without jamming it full of woke inanity. And "inanity" is the word for it. Because the Democrats have devolved into utter nonsense.

In the news cycle, stories get buried. It feels like we're all constantly putting out fires. Politicians love this: Just about every controversy vanishes quickly. Shady legislation goes unnoticed. The mainstream media isn't going to report on this, not with any semblance of honesty or critical thought. As always, they're more interested in attacking Donald Trump. So it's up to us to ask, "Wait a minute, you're doing what now?"

You may be thinking, "How do the rules for the House of Representatives affect me?" Because you can tell a lot about a person by the way they run their house, or in this case their workplace. If this is how they want to conduct their workplace, I'm terrified to see how they'll run the country. Because, even though it will require ethical breaches and severe overreach, that's exactly what they're about to do, including a rule that keeps the House Minority from amending legislation on the floor.

In true leftist fashion, Democrats have projected their own injustices on Republicans. Like how the bill refers to the new rules as "sweeping ethics reforms," the implication being that there were ethical violations that demanded reforming.

Yesterday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said it best, delivered a scathing rebuke of House Democrats. I recommend watching the whole thing. In particular, he took umbrage with the way the rules violate our freedom of speech, the most important right that we have as Americans.

He's right: This hatred for free speech began in academia. Specifically, from the Marxist radicals who promote and adhere to Critical Theory. We conservatives have spent so much time on Critical Race Theory, but we're missing the bigger picture. Critical Race Theory is just a wart on the looming monster known as Critical Theory. If you think the riots were bad, if you thought sports had become overrun by woke politics, if you thought colleges were bad already — you better get ready for the ideological tidal wave, because it's so about to be much worse. The whole thing is Critical Theory gone wild. I'll tell you why in a moment. First, let's look through the details.

Gender

The resolution aims to "make this House of Representatives the most inclusive in history," and opens by formally establishing the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. An entire department within the lower house of Congress devoted to bringing Critical Theory to life."Inclusion and diversity," two concepts entrenched in Critical Theory inanity. The left would call them "dog whistles," seemingly innocuous words that signal something evil. Apparently, inclusion and diversity are the reason House Democrats felt the need to change the name of the Office of the Whistleblower Ombudsman, "to the gender-neutral Office of the Whistleblower Ombuds."

Then they really lose it in subsection e: "Gender-Inclusive Language." This section "modernizes the use of pronouns, familial relationship terminology, and other references to gender in order to be inclusive of all members, delegates, resident commissioners, employees of the House, and their families."

In other words, the standing rules will now be gender-inclusive. ''Seamen'' will now be ''seafarers." ''Chairman'' is ''Chair." And one clause of House rules removed the terms father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother" — you get the idea.

The new rules also require "standing committees to include in their oversight plans a discussion of how committee work over the forthcoming Congress will address issues of inequities on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or national origin; honor all gender identities by changing pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender-neutral."

Free Speech

One of the most egregious parts of the rules changes is the way they'll compromise free speech. Democrats want to protect free speech only if it's something they agree with. They've taken this to villainous extremes.

Deep Fake Media

●The Democrat rules package also made it an ethics violation for members to knowingly distribute "deep fake" media.

●The wording is vague, and could easily encompass conservative media. What do they mean by fake media? Memes? Articles? Jokes? Op-eds? "regulations addressing the dissemination by electronic means of any image, video, or audio file that has been distorted or manipulated with the intent to mislead the public.

●It applies not only to Representatives' official accounts but also to their personal accounts, a clear violation of free speech. "They would penalize any member who shares news or views that liberals and their allies in the media deem 'fake.' They actually make it an ethics violation, which is usually reserved for such unbecoming conduct as bribery and corruption."

Pay As You Go (PayGo) Exemptions

●The new rules also weaken PayGo, a budgetary-control measure that limits "Tax and Spend" policies and requires Congress to offset spending on bills that would increase the deficit.

●They are the payment rules on legislation related to the virus and climate change that previously required lawmakers to identify new revenue sources or spending cuts to fund their priorities.

●Democrats will now be able to force through any legislation regardless of the cost, and for legislation like the Green New Deal. Yet AOC actually had a problem with this caveat, but of course, her reason for opposing it is as asinine as you'd expect.

The Motion to Recommit (MTR)

Congress is a majoritarian institution. They govern themselves, as long as it doesn't violate the Constitution. Since Democrats regained the majority two years ago, they have treaded that line and I would say that they've been downright unconstitutional. For those entire two years, they boasted that in 2020 they'd sweep Congress, all of it, but especially The House of Representatives. They were wrong, and now they have the slimmest majority in years. And I'm positive that their hubris is largely responsible.

They were wrong, and now they have the slimmest majority in years.

Since the creation of the modern party system shortly before the Civil War, there have been 18 House majority changes, with Democrats in power the most.

●The motion to recommit provides one final opportunity for the House to debate and amend a measure, typically after the engrossment and third reading of the bill, before the Speaker orders the vote on final passage. ... The motion does not delay or kill the bill. MTR gives the Minority, and by extension their constituents, a voice by denying them the chance to debate a bill on the floor.

●It's been around since the House was founded, and in its present form since 1909. In 1919, Rep. Abraham Garrett said that "The Motion to Recommit is regarded as so sacred, it's one of the few rules protected against the Committee on Rules by the General Rules of the House."

●When Pelosi was in the Minority, she described the MTR as grounded in the Free Speech guaranteed by our constitution. Anytime the Republicans had the majority, they never even considered cutting off MTR.

Democrats shifted the goalposts by redefining words, by degrading the current meanings, and by trying to convince us that we are fundamentally immoral. It's textbook Critical Theory: attack our sense of reality, our understanding of knowledge, our guiding beliefs, and, now, our most fundamental rights.

We've entered the era of Critical Theory. Wokeness is the new law.

Literally.

The time for metaphors is over; the House of Representatives just instituted wokeness into policy. They're still not saying the quiet part aloud. Critical Theory allows for this. Saddle up to the new normal. The new authoritarianism. Just like how nobody took 20 seconds to hop on Wikipedia and check the etymology of "amen", none of the Democrats have really thought out their plan.

Article I, Section 8 of The Constitution delineates the powers granted to the Congress, one of which is "to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel Invasions."

Well, lately, America has been overrun by insurrections and invasions and Congress can't do much about it because they're in on the insurrection. Significant factions within the legislative branch have encouraged these insurrections, they have validated the invasive radicals who threaten to destroy our country. And they've done it under the auspices of furtherance. Of being progressive. Of not being racist, or transphobic, or whatever insult is trendy on woke Twitter.

The time for metaphors is over; the House of Representatives just instituted wokeness into policy.

They're saying, "surrender some of your rights, some of your luxuries, some of your privileges — you have so many, you don't deserve them — and you'll make the world a smidge better." It's the kind of ideology that shreds through people like they're nothing and it is swallowing America whole. Once they change the rules and they change the words, you're living a real-life version of Orwell's 1984. What we need in a moment like this are strong people willing to face the wrath of a Leftist establishment that is all too happy to watch the world burn.

McCarthy talked about how people were feeling this indignation. Well, Kevin, I want you to know, it's not just you. I feel it. I think more than 70 million Americans feel it.

It's not going away any time soon.

And today, I ask that you just prepare mentally, for a rough road ahead. But one that we win in, in the end. And I can say it with confidence because I know the truth, will always set people free.

The truth will always prevail.
