Sen. Mike Lee Believes These 3 Words Will Protect Americans From Martial Law

July 19, 2016

Writer

Glenn joined Meet the Press Sunday morning and once again declared his commitment to #NeverTrump as well as his #NeverHillary --- but it was his comment about Ted Cruz that really turned some heads.

"By the way, my apologies yesterday," Glenn said on his radio program Monday. "I said, 'If Ted Cruz endorses Donald Trump tomorrow in his speech, it will be official that I will have no one I can trust in Washington.' I said that on Meet the Press. And I was deluged with email --- 'Has Mike Lee done something wrong?' No! Mike Lee --- I wasn't thinking of Mike yesterday."

Lee didn't seem the least bit worried and laughed it off.

"I'm easy to forget," Lee quipped.

As it goes with friends at times, the conversation bounced around and hit on a lot of topics so here are a few of the highlights.

Republican National Convention

With the convention taking center stage, the conversation shifted to Lee's role in the Trump Show. Lee had been described as the most influential #NeverTrump person on the Rules Committee for the convention in several stories in the past week, and Glenn asked how things went at their meeting over the weekend.

"I've heard it from both sides that the GOP did what they did to the Ron Paul people last time and just squashed and actually were holding up signs --- 'Trump people, GOP people, vote no on this.' Is that true?" Glenn asked.

Lee replied in the affirmative, saying it was unlike anything he'd ever seen.

"In fact, the sign said, 'Trump/RNC, vote no.' So it was surreal," Lee said. "It was bizarro-world in which the Trump campaign had teamed up with the RNC establishment powers that be to completely shut out calls for reform from grassroots conservatives. I was stunned."

Civil Unrest and Martial Law

With many people at a loss for what to do in this election, mixed with the civil unrest and international terrorism, some are now calling for "temporary" suspensions of certain laws or constitutional rights. Lee wrote a book called Our Lost Constitution, and as a history buff and champion of the constitution, Glenn picked his brain about martial law.

"To answer your question, this is always a possibility," Lee said. "It is always a possibility here or anywhere in the world because of human nature. Look, human beings are fallible. They make mistakes. They're not inherently evil, but they make mistakes. And that's why we need constitutions."

Three Words to Save Liberty

"Everyone I talk to says --- that understands really where we are, 'It's too late. It's too late,'" Glenn said.

Lee was quick to jump in and disagree.

"But it's not too late," he said.

Glenn held his ground, vehemently.

"Mike, we have people --- we have people on both sides of the aisle --- and a lot of Americans are going along with it," Glenn said. "When that happened in Orlando, they were talking about curtailing the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment. We had people on both sides talking about doing that in Congress. How do you save it when people don't even know what their rights are and are so willing just to give them up?"

Lee said it will all come down to three words and people will realize what needs to be done.

"All they need is the ability to recognize deprivations of the Constitution when they arise, and just as importantly, to be able to trigger three words: THIS IS WHY," Lee said. "This is why we have the Fourth Amendment. This is why we have the Legislative Powers Clause. This is why we have the Origination Clause."

Lee left with some parting words of wisdom for Glenn and the listeners.

"We can still win this. But we've got to win the conversation. We have to have the conversation in the first place," Lee said. "That conversation hasn't been taking place because our schools don't teach civics anymore like they used to. They don't teach the stories behind our Constitution."

WARNING from a survivor: Is China’s horrific past America’s terrifying future?

America has always been the land of the free. But as the line fades between the socialist, woke Left, and the Democratic Party that controls our government, are we diving headfirst into Marxism?

On his BlazeTV exclusive show, Glenn Beck spoke with Li Schoolland, who grew up under Mao's cultural revolution in China, and never did she think she would see the same warning signs in America. But now, she has a horrifying warning for us all.

'YOUR voice makes a difference': Coca-Cola takes a 'pause' on woke initiatives after BIG boycott

Earlier this year, Coca-Cola became the poster child for how a corporation could shove leftist ideologies onto its consumers. The company suspended advertising on Facebook in a push to censor former President Donald Trump, published a manifesto about racial equity, and demanded all legal teams working for Coke meet certain diversity quotas.

But now, after Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and many other conservative voices called for a boycott of the company's products, Coca-Cola appears to be shifting directions.

The Washington Examiner reported that the company issued a conciliatory statement after conspicuously failing to appear on a published list of hundreds of corporations and individuals that signed a statement denouncing the Georgia voting bill.

"We believe the best way to make progress now is for everyone to come together and listen respectfully, share concerns, and collaborate on a path forward. We remained open and productive conversations with advocacy groups and lawmakers who may have differing views," the company said. "It's time to find common ground. In the end, we all want the same thing – free and fair elections, the cornerstone of our democracy."

Then last week, Coca-Cola Co.'s new general counsel, Monica Howard Douglas, told members of the company's global legal team that the diversity initiative announced by her predecessor, Bradley Gayton, is "taking a pause for now." Gayton resigned unexpectedly from the position on April 21, after only eight months on the job, to serve as a strategic consultant to Chairman and CEO James Quincey.

"Why is Coca-Cola 'taking a pause' on all of these? Because you have been standing up," Glenn Beck said on the radio program Monday. "You and others have been standing up. Your voice, it's the power of one. Your voice makes a difference."

'The problem is NOT racial': Bob Woodson, civil rights activist who survived segregation, counters 'race grievance' LIES

This week on "The Glenn Beck Podcast," civil rights activist and Woodson Center founder Bob Woodson joined Glenn to call out the leftists in the "race grievance industry," like the Rev. Al Sharpton and Black Lives Matter, Inc., who, he says, are "profiting off the misery of their people."

Woodson lived through the appalling segregation laws of the last century and has a much different message about what it means to be "oppressed" than the so-called "anti-racist" activists today.

Woodson said he believes the real struggle for impoverished minority communities "is not racial." He argued that leftists "at the top" derive "moral authority" by claiming to represent "so called marginalized groups," while they prosper at the expense of those "at the bottom."

"There's nothing worse than self-flagellating guilty white people and rich, angry black people who profit off the misery of their people," Woodson said.

"I call what Sharpton and some of those are doing is worse than bigotry. It's treason. It's moral treason against their own people," he added. "The only time you hear from them is when a white police officer kills a black person, which happens maybe 20 or 21 times a year, but 6,000 blacks are killed each year by other blacks. So, in other words, their message is black lives only matter when taken by someone white, which means you are betraying the black community when you turn your back on 20 children that are slaughtered and you don't march in that community and demand that those killers be turned over to the police."

'The problem is not racial," Woodson asserted. "The problem is the challenge of upward mobility. Any time you generalize about a group of people, blacks, whites, Native American, and then you try to apply remedies, it always benefits those at the top at the expense of those at the bottom. ... It's a bait and switch game where you're using the demographics of the worst of these, to get resources that helps the best of these, or those who are prospering at the top. So, if I was the president, I would say an end to the race grievance business, that America should concentrate on the moral and spiritual free fall that is consuming people at the bottom."

Mark Levin decodes Biden’s first address to Congress, EXPOSES radical plans for our country

Following President Joe Biden's first joint address to Congress, Glenn Beck joined fellow BlazeTV host and author of the new book, "American Marxism," Mark Levin to expose what they called the "Liar-In-Chief's" radical plans for our country and to explain why the far Left's proposals and programs are really a "frontal attack" on our Constitution, our country, and our way of life.

"Substantively, this is a frontal attack on our Constitutional system of limited government. It is a frontal attack on our capitalist system. He's basically throwing out all the bromides for the radical left groups that now form the base of the modern Democrat Party. And I make the case that ... this is Marxist bullcrap in its broadest sense," Levin stated.

"Here we are, a country now where one man can get up in the middle of the night and make a list of everything he wants to do to the country," he added, speaking figuratively. "It's like an unreality where we're living in separate worlds ... the whole thing is a fraud."

Watch the video clip below to hear Levin expose the lies and misinformation in Biden's speech and explain why he believes the true message is absolutely chilling for the future of our nation:
