Glenn Beck Video: 'This Is For America' Russian Bombs Dropped on Georgia

August 14, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program



BECK: I'M BACK WITH THE PRESIDENT OF GEORGIA MIKHEIL SAAKASHVILI. MR PRESIDENT, AS I SAID TO YOU BEFORE WE WENT TO THE BREAK MOST AMERICANS, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT GEORGIA IS, THE COULDN'T FIND IT ON A MAP AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY WE SHOULD BE INVOLVED HERE. MAKE YOUR CASE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NOW AND TELL PEOPLE WHY AND WHAT'S THIS STORY REALLY ALL ABOUT AND WHY WE SHOULD BE INVOLVED

PRESIDENT SAAKASHVILI: WELL YOU KNOW IF YOU, THAT DEPENDS ON THE ANGLE FROM WHICH YOU LOOK AT. WHEN GERMANY WAS GOING TO ATTACK CZECHOSLOVAKIA IN 1938 NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN THEN THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE UK SAID "WHY WE SHOULD CARE AB CZECHOSLOVAKIA, IT'S A FAR AWAY COUNTRY OF WHICH WE KNOW VERY LITTLE." I DON'T WANT THESE WORLDS TO APPLY TO GEORGIA NOW. BECAUSE CZECHOSLOVAKIA IN 1938 WAS A STRUGGLING DEMOCRACY, GEORGIA IS STRUGGLING DEMOCRACY AS WELL. GEORGIA WAS PART OF SOVIET UNION WE WERE OCCUPIED BY BOLSHEVIK RUSSIA ALMOST 100 YEARS AGO EXACTLY IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THEY CLAIMED TO PROTECT MINORITY HERE, THEY CAME IN AND WE WENT THROUGH 70 YEARS OF COMMUNIST SLAVERY AND BASICALLY THE MUD OF THE COMMUNIST SOCIETY. WE IMMERGED FROM THAT TO BUILD A NEW COUNTRY, A COUNTRY THAT WAS-YOU ARE A RIGHT-A COUNTRY THAT WAS INITIALLY VERY CORRUPT VERY INEFFICIENT. NOW WE ARE, UNTIL NOW ONE OF THE FAST GROWING ECONOMY IN THE REGION. WE ARE GETTING THE HIGHEST CAPITA RATE OF FOREIGN INVESTMENT, WHY? BECAUSE WE BECAME ONE OF THE MOST UNCORRUPT COUNTRIES IN EUROPE ACCORDING TO THE EUROPEAN BANK. WE BECAUSE ONE OF THE TOP GOVERNANCE PLACES ACCORDING TO THE WORLD BANK, WE BECAME ONE OF THE TOP BUSINESS CLIMATE DESTINATIONS AHEAD OF MANY OF THE MUCH WELL KNOWN BIG ECONOMIES. SO GEORGIA HAS REALLY DONE THIS POLITICAL TRANSFORMATION, WE MOVED FORM SOCIETY WITH LAWLESSNESS AND CORRUPTION TO A SOCIETY WITH RULE OF LAW AND A SOCIETY WHERE THERE IS FREEDOM BUT THERE IS ALSO RESPONSIBILITY. SO THE POINT HERE IS RUSSIA IS CONTROLLED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING FROM KGB BACKGROUND. ONE THING THEY HATE MOST OF ALL IN THE WORLD IS FREEDOM AND OF COURSE THEY HATE MOST OF ALL NATIONS THAT WANT TO BE FREE. GEORGIA WAS THE JEWEL OF THE EMPIRE IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AMONG THE FORMER SOVIET STATES AND THEY THINK THAT GEORGIA SHOULD BELONG TO THEM, AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS GEORGIA THAT HAS NO OIL AND GAS LIKE THEY HAVE, SUDDENLY DEFIED THEIR RULE AND SAID "LOOK WE DON'T HAVE OIL AND GAS, BUT WE HAVE FREEDOM AND WE HAVE RULE OF LAW", AND YOU KNOW WHAT RUSSIAN TANKS WERE ROLLING INTO GEORGIA YESTERDAY, AND WHAT WE DID, WE STAGED HUGE RALLY IN DOWNTOWN TBILISI.


PEOPLE CAME OUT, WE HAD BIGGEST EVER NUMBER OF PEOPLE WAVING GEORGIA FLAGS AND SINGING GEORGIA ANTHEM. DEMOCRACY-THEY FIGHT AMONG EACH OTHER, THE POLITICIANS, BUT WHEN THE REAL STRUGGLE COMES PEOPLE DON'T DO CONSTANTLY HATE, UNLIKE RUSSIA WHERE THERE IS MORE PROPAGANDA BASICALLY IN THE MEDIA. WE HAVE FREE MEDIA WE HAVE FREE SOCIETY. WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE? YOU KNOW WE ARE NOT A PRO-AMERICAN COUNTRY. LAST TIME WE DISCUSSED I READ FROM TIME TO TIME THE FEDERALIST PAPERS, OF COURSE I AM BIG ADMIRER OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS, I MYSELF TO COLUMBIA LAW SCHOOL AND GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, I PRACTICED LAW IN NEW YORK. ONE THING I LEARNED FROM AMERICA-NOT TO BE PRO-AMERICAN, WE ARE NOT PRO AMERICAN-BUT SOME JOURNALISTS SAID HERE WE ARE BUILDING AMERICA, WE ARE BUILDING A SOCIETY BASED ON THE SAME VALUES AS AMERICA. AND WHAT WE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THOSE VALUES ARE WORTHLESS UNLESS THE FREE WORLD CAN STAND UP FOR THAT. IF A SMALL COUNTRY IS BEING BUTCHERED JUST FOR THE DESIRE OF BEING FREE, IF WE ARE BEING BUTCHERED FOR THE FACT THAT WE WANT TO BE CLOSE TO THE UNITED STATES. YOU KNOW THE BOMBS THEY'VE BEEN THROWING ON OUR PEOPLE KILLING HUNDRED OF CIVILIANS FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS-I'M AFRAID TO SAY THOUSANDS, BUT HUNDREDS AT LEAST, I HOPE IT WILL NOT BE THOUSANDS-YOU KNOW THEY HAD AN INSCRIPTION ON THEM "THIS IS FOR AMERICA," "THIS IS FOR NATO," "THIS IS FOR BUSH." I TOLD PRESIDENT BUSH ABOUT IT TODAY BY THE WAY. SO RUSSIANS ARE FIGHTING WAR NOT WITH US AT THIS STAGE, BUT THEY ARE FIGHTING WAR WITH THE IDEA. THEY WANT TO KILL THE IDEA OF FREEDOM, AND BY PROXY THEY IMAGINE THEY FIGHT WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES.

Marxist Methods: Debunking the Left's LIES About Critical Race Theory

We've heard a lot about critical race theory lately, and for good reason: It's a racist ideology designed to corrupt our children and undermine our American values. But most of what we see are the results of a process that has been underway for decades. And that's not something the mainstream media, the Democrat Party, and even teachers unions want you to know. They're doing everything in their power to try and convince you that it's no big deal. They want to sweep everything under the rug and keep you in the dark. To fight it, we need to understand what fuels it.

On his Wednesday night special this week, Glenn Beck exposes the deep-seated Marxist origins of CRT and debunks the claims that it's just a harmless term for a school of legal scholarship. Newsweek opinion editor Josh Hammer joins to argue why we must ban critical race theory from our schools if we want to save a very divided nation.

Glenn Beck: I'd give up my American citizenship ‘in a heartbeat’ if THIS happens

On the radio program Monday, Glenn Beck blasted the Democrats — and anyone else on the left — who have been so eager to open our southern U.S. border for the past several months, but also willing to turn a blind eye to the Cuban people in need of help today.

"While we are welcoming people from any country, all over the world, without any kind of information, and setting them into our country, putting them on American planes paid for by American taxpayers," Glenn began. "And our Coast Guard Cutters are turning these [Cuban] people away. Shame on you! Shame on you!"

Glenn said that he's "sick and tired" of hearing about "brave" leftist activists like Colin Kaepernick, who protest the America flag while wearing Che Guevara and Fidel Castro t-shirts. Meanwhile, the Cuban people are risking their lives by taking to the sea to escape their oppressive regime and come to America.

"Anybody who glorifies Che doesn't know their ass from their elbow. You can't call them a human rights activist. You're protesting the American flag, because you so deeply believe in the right to be free? And yet, you wear a Che T-shirt?" Glenn said.

Glenn went on to argue that, even though the left has "bastardized" the meaning of our country, he still believes America is the best nation on Earth. In fact, he'd give up his citizenship "in a heartbeat" if another country could prove to be better, more noble, and more free. But no other nation exists like ours, he said, which is why it's so imperative we fight for freedom here, in Cuba, and around the world.

'They believe their job is to REMAKE your child': WSJ writer warns public schools may be LOST to woke trans activism

There's a new "reality" spreading, and the mere act of questioning it has become incredibly dangerous, Wall Street Journal investigative journalist Abigail Shrier told Glenn on the most recent episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast."

Shrier's book, "Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters," exposes the radical gender activism that — like critical race theory — has overtaken our children's schools and culture. But even worse, she warned, it could end your parental rights for good.

Shrier made it clear she is by no means "anti-trans," but simply speaking up against the extremes of this new "reality" has made her enemy No. 1 to many activists. Her book has been bashed so hard by the Left that Target has stopped selling it twice, Amazon once banned ads for it, and the American Booksellers Association even called sending it to others "a serious, violent incident."

In the clip below, Shrier explained why she believes "there may be no hope for the public school system."

"You have teachers behaving like activists across the country who have no interest in actually teaching. They believe their job is to remake your child," she asserted. "We're seeing so much evidence of that, I think it's fair to say that it may be too deeply rooted in the ideology being taught in public school. I'm not sure that the public school system is redeemable at this point."

Gov. Abbott: Yes, Texas really can ARREST House Democrats when they return. Here's how.

What is actually in Texas' new GOP-led voting bill? Nearly every Texas House Democrat fled the state to block its passage, calling it racist and oppressive, and President Joe Biden backed them as well.

But Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Friday to set the record straight and call out the lies: All of these claims are "completely false." He also explained his promise to "arrest" the Texas House Democrats when they return to the Lone Star State.

"What is in the bill is completely different than what they're saying, what Kamala Harris is saying, what President Biden is saying. What's in the bill actually increases the number of hours that people have to vote in the state of Texas. In the state of Texas, we have at least 12 days of early voting, and we are adding hours to those days. And on top of that, we are giving people time off from work to be able to vote. Bottom line, we're making it easier to vote in the state of Texas," Gov Abbott explained.

"In comparison, Delaware — the state that President Biden votes in — has exactly zero hours of early voting," he added. "That said, there is one thing that we're doing in the state of Texas, and that is we're making sure we tighten the reins on mail-in ballots that can lead to voter fraud. And it's not me saying that. It's a federal judge, appointed by Barack Obama, in Corpus Christi, Texas, who wrote in a legal opinion that voter fraud occurs, quote, in abundance as it concerns mail-in ballots. We know. Texans know. There is fraud in mail-in ballots in the state of Texas. It must be fixed. That's one thing we're trying to do. That being said, all these claims that we're denying people the right to vote and yada, yada, yada, are completely false."

Abbott went on to discuss the much-debated voter ID laws in Texas and to explain why Democrats insist on calling basic voter ID requirements "racist."

"When Democrats do not have truth on their side, they resort to one single word and that is 'racism' ... Texas implemented voter ID almost a decade ago, and when we went through that fight, what word did they use? Racism," he said. "Guess what? After Texas imposed voter ID requirements in the state of Texas, there have been more people voting and more people of color who went to vote. Voting didn't get harder. It got easier and more abundant in the state of Texas. And so, once again, Democrats have absolutely no legal standing, other than to say, 'racism.'"

Glenn asked Gov. Abbott to explain his pledge to "arrest" the Democratic lawmakers that fled once they return to Texas.

"Let me explain how this works. So, whenever there is a break of quorum, which is what is happening now — meaning there is not a sufficient number of people who are showing up to the Texas House of Representatives for the Texas House to engage in business. Whenever there's a quorum break like that, the House issues what's called a 'call on the House.' And when that happens, the sergeant-at-arms is authorized to work with the Texas Department of Public Safety, to — you can call it arrest, apprehend, whatever you want to call it — any of the members who are not in the Texas House of Representatives and bring them to the Texas House where they will be 'cabined' with no ability to leave the Texas House chamber, without a permission slip from the speaker."
