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.

'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."

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:

Biden's Big Speech: The Glenn Beck & Mark Levin Rebuttal

After months of delays and COVID-19 excuses, President Biden finally delivers his address to the joint session of Congress. It is a truly historic moment, as only a few hundred members of Congress received an invite. While some have compared this speech to JFK's moon landing challenge, it will likely be more like FDR's New Deal nightmare. Will Speaker Pelosi continue her tradition of ripping up the president's speech? Will VP Harris cackle to a quiet audience?

Glenn Beck teams up with fellow BlazeTV host Mark Levin, author of the new book "American Marxism," to take on the progressive plans that could completely transform our economy and our way of life. Steve Deace, BlazeTV host and author of "Faucian Bargain," joins to discuss why it's not enough for conservatives to just lament the dangerous Democrat agenda; we must activate against the woke infection of our institutions. Plus, a power panel to rival CNN talking heads: Stu Burguiere, BlazeTV host of "Stu Does America," and Jason Buttrill, head researcher and writer for Glenn Beck.

Leftists MELT DOWN over Caitlyn Jenner’s GOP candidacy: 'Running as a Trump Republican & entering a world that hates you'

Image source: Video screenshot

The less-than-favorable reaction to Caitlyn Jenner's bid for governor of California as a Republican has shown that leftists and so-called "transgender rights activist" care more about political party than actual transgender rights. Despite the fact that if she wins, Jenner would be the first trans governor in our nation's history — and prove that Republicans aren't 'transphobic' — Leftist activists would rather back Gavin Newsom — a cisgender, white male.

"Make no mistake: we can't wait to elect a #trans governor of California. But @Caitlyn_Jenner spent years telling the #LGBTQ+ community to trust Donald Trump. We saw how that turned out. Now she wants us to trust her? Hard pass," tweeted Equality California, one of the state's largest LGBTQ-rights groups.

"With all due respect, @Caitlyn_Jenner, you are running as a Republican?! Republicans deny your existence and are trying to erase trans youth. HELL NO," tweeted leftist activist and actress Alyssa Milano.

"Well done Caitlyn Jenner, running for governor wins you the one medal you never got: stupidest mother***ker on earth. Running as a Trump Republican & entering a world that hates you," tweeted "Sons of Anarchy" star Ron Perlman.

In this clip from the "Glenn Beck Radio Program," Glenn and producer Stu Burguiere discussed the Left's hostile reaction to Jenner's candidacy for California governor and agreed that leftist trans activists are showing themselves to be more "leftists" than "trans activists."

"If Caitlyn Jenner did, let's say, run for governor and win as a Republican, wouldn't that go a long way to advance what [trans rights activists'] goal supposedly is? Like, if you really believe Republicans hate trans people and what you want is for society to have trans people accepted more broadly, what better way to accomplish that than having a Republican trans candidate?" Stu asked.

"Yeah, see, but you just said the key words: 'If you really believe.' They don't really believe anything. I don't think they even really believe that Republicans hate gay people. I don't think they actually believe that. That's just a slogan that's been drilled in their head," Glenn said. "It doesn't have anything to do with race or gender, or really anything else. It has everything to do with politics. That's it."
