Senator Mike Lee Discusses Tyrants, Tattoos and the Feds Seizing Your Technology

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), author of Our Lost Constitution: The Willful Subversion of America's Founding Document, joined The Glenn Beck Program on Monday to discuss a new rule for search and seizure warrants that will go into effect soon --- unless Congress stops it.

"One warrant will allow you to open up millions of computers. Anyone who had that virus, you now are at stake. It's out of control," Glenn said Monday on his radio program.

Touted as a simple procedural change, this new ability would allow the government to access millions of computers across all kinds of jurisdictional lines with the approval of just one judge.

"This starts to look a little bit more like the general warrant that I discussed in my book. The general warrants were the ones used by King George III and his ministers that prompted us to adopt what is now the Fourth Amendment," Senator Lee said.

The new rule will go into effect December 1st unless Congress moves to block or change it.

Listen to this segment from The Glenn Beck Program:

HIGHLIGHTS OF GLENN’S CONVERSATION WITH MIKE LEE

The number of people the government would have access to with the new warrant: By the time they are just using my contact list and up to three levels past it, they have access to records of 2.8 million people. That is not the spirit of the Constitution at all. --- Glenn

What the nosy NSA used to know from your telephone usage: All kinds of private things about you --- the condition of your health, your age, your sex, your marital status, your employment status, what you do for a living, what your hobbies are, your political affiliation and so forth. --- Senator Lee

Why Senators Lee and Leahy stopped the NSA from gathering your personal data: That's wrong. It's none of their business. It's one of the reasons why we brought that to an end with the measure that Democratic Senator Pat Leahy and I introduced called the USA Freedom Act. --- Senator Lee

The chapter of Senator Lee's book that tells the story of why he voted against reauthorizing the Patriot Act: As I explained in chapter five of my book, Our Lost Constitution, which tells this whole story, the minute we start talking about Constitutional restrictions, about the letter and the spirit of the Fourth Amendment, which says that the government can't use general warrants against you. It can't go out and just say, "Bring me the information on the bad guys, bring it all to me." --- Senator Lee

On the new movie Snowden: I saw Snowden this weekend, and it's terrifying. It's honestly a movie that I think every American should see. --- Glenn

What the church committee, headed by Idaho Senator Frank Church, found back in the 1970's: In every presidential administration, from FDR all the way through Nixon, our country's intelligence gathering agencies had been used to engage in political espionage, meaning to collect information on political enemies and use it for the political benefit of whoever was in charge. --- Senator Lee

On permanent political ink: By the way, I wasn't born with an R or a D on my ankle. I haven't gotten it tattooed on since then. I don't intend to.

POLL: Should Universities allow pro-Hamas protests?

Just one day after Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel, which left over 1,400 people Israelis dead, 34 different student groups from Harvard University wrote a joint statement pinning the blame of Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel. In the following days after publishing this callous statement, these students staged a walkout and rallied in support of the Palestinians. As Glenn has discussed, this is not an isolated event, and campuses across the country have hosted similar rallies where antisemitic jargon like "we don't want no Jew state" and "globalize the intifada" is freely spewed.

Should Universities allow pro-Hamas protests?

While the Universities have not officially backed any of these rallies or student groups that organized them, they haven't stopped them either, which raises the question: should they? On one hand, these are American students in American Universities, who are protected by the First Amendment. On the other hand, history tells us how dangerous antisemitism is if left unchecked; and what of the rights of Jewish students to be safe on the campuses they pay to attend? Let us know what you think in the poll below:

Would you feel safe if your child attended a University that allowed pro-Hamas protests?

Is pro-Hamas rhetoric protected by the First Amendment?

POLL: What do YOU think Israel should do about Gaza?

Should Israel take over Gaza after defeating Hamas? This contentious historical question has resurfaced amid Israel's retaliatory airstrikes in Gaza following Hamas' terror attacks, which resulted in the greatest death of Jews since the Holocaust. Biden and the global elites have warned Israel against occupation of the Palestinian territory. When asked on 60 Minutes if he would support the Israeli occupation of Gaza, Biden said, “I think it would be a big mistake.” Today Glenn responded to Biden’s answer: “I don't think it's a mistake to occupy."

This has been a long-standing, polarizing issue that is now more relevant than ever, and we want to hear YOUR thoughts. Let us know in the poll below:

Would you support an Israeli occupation of Gaza?

Do you think the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza are justified?

Do you think a two-state solution is still possible?

Funding IRAN?! Here are the TOP 5 reasons Joe Biden should be IMPEACHED

On September 12th, the House announced an official impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden with allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption. Naturally, the media quickly jumped to the President’s aid claiming that “there is no evidence to support these claims” and that the whole affair is a witch hunt.

If you’ve been listening to Glenn, you know that this is simply not the case. Biden has been committing impeachment-worthy deeds before he even stepped foot into the Oval Office—there’s no shortage of evidence to justify this inquiry. Here are 5 scathing reasons why Biden should be impeached:

He was responsible for the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster.

The Biden administration began with the US's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Under his watch, Biden left thousands of US citizens and allies stranded in the Taliban's hostile regime. Countless Afghan allies have been murdered by the Taliban due to the Biden administration's negligence.

He was involved with Hunter Biden's illicit foreign business dealings.

There is clear evidence that Joe Biden was more than aware of his son Hunter's foreign business dealings. From suspicious money laundering through the Biden family's accounts to Joe's involvement with important business meetings within Hunter's company, there is mounting evidence to warrant an impeachment inquiry.

He lied about his involvement with Hunter's business dealings.

Not only did Biden involve himself with his son's less-than-legal foreign business ventures, but he lied to the American people about it too, claiming he had NO KNOWLEDGE of what was going on.

He failed to protect the Southern border, and actively made it worse.

Biden singlehandedly turned the Southern border into the worst illegal immigration crisis in US history. He reversed many policies set in place by the Trump administration, resulting in 2.3 million illegal immigrants flooding into the US under his watch, a historic high.

He sent IRAN AND HAMAS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Biden reversed the Trump-era policy that halted all funds going into Iran. The Wall Street Journal revealed the smoking-gun evidence proving that Iran trained AND funded Hamas before its gruesome terror attacks against Israel. Moreover, shortly before the attacks, the Biden administration unfroze $6 BILLION dollars of Iran's assets as a part of a prisoner swap. On top of this, Biden resumed $200 million worth of "humanitarian aid" to Gaza that Trump had ended—because the money was being used to buy weapons for Hamas.

From groceries to house prices, everything seems to get more expensive, and you can thank Biden for that. Glenn recently exposed the truth about 'Bidenomics' and the havoc it has wrought on the American economy. Here are five economic milestones during the Biden administration that expose the glaring track record of "Bidenomics:"

In July 2022, the inflation rate hit 9.1 percent, a 40-year record high.

In June 2022, gas hit an all time record high of $5 a gallon for the national average.

61 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck as of this September.

Interest rates reached a 15-year high at 5.25 percent and are still increasing.

Americans have $1 trillion in collective credit card debt, in part due to food/staple pieces being very high.
