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.

'It's just unconscionable': Acclaimed environmentalist explains his STUNNING apology for 'climate scare'

Acclaimed environmentalist and author of "Apocalypse Never" Michael Shellenberger joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Wednesday to warn us about the true goals and effects of climate alarmism: It's become a "secular religion" that lowers standards of living in developed countries, holds developing countries back, and has environmental progress "exactly wrong."

Michael is a Time "Hero of the Environment," Green Book Award winner, and the founder and president of Environmental Progress. He has been called a "environmental guru," "climate guru," "North America's leading public intellectual on clean energy," and "high priest" of the environmental humanist movement for his writings and TED talks, which have been viewed more than 5 million times. But when Michael penned a stunning article in Forbes saying, "On Behalf of Environmentalists, I Apologize for the Climate Scare", the article was pulled just a few hours later. (Read more here.)

On the show, Micheal talked about how environmental alarmism has overtaken scientific fact, leading to a number of unfortunate consequences. He said one of the problems is that rich nations are blocking poor nations from being able to industrialize. Instead, they are seeking to make poverty sustainable, rather than to make poverty history.

"As a cultural anthropologist, I've been traveling to poorer countries and interviewing small farmers for over 30 years. And, obviously there are a lot of causes why countries are poor, but there's no reason we should be helping them to stay poor," Michael said. "A few years ago, there was a movement to make poverty history ... [but] it got taken over by the climate alarmist movement, which has been focused on depriving poor countries, not just of fossil fuels they need to develop, but also the large hydroelectric dams."

He offered the example of the Congo, one of the poorest countries in the world. The Congo has been denied the resources needed to build large hydroelectric dams, which are absolutely essential to pull people out of poverty. And one of the main groups preventing poor countries from the gaining financing they need to to build dams is based in Berkeley, California — a city that gets its electricity from hydroelectric dams.

"It's just unconscionable ... there are major groups, including the Sierra Club, that support efforts to deprive poor countries of energy. And, honestly, they've taken over the World Bank [which] used to fund the basics of development: roads, electricity, sewage systems, flood control, dams," Micheal said.

"Environmentalism, apocalyptic environmentalism in particular, has become the dominant religion of supposedly secular people in the West. So, you know, it's people at the United Nations. It's people that are in very powerful positions who are trying to impose 'nature's order' on societies," he continued. "And, of course, the problem is that nobody can figure out what nature is, and what it's not. That's not a particular good basis for organizing your economy."

Voddie Baucham warns: 'Black Lives Matter' is a trademark phrase designed to DEHUMANIZE and USE black people

Dr. Voddie Baucham, Dean of Theology at African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia, joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to explain why he agrees with Vice President Mike Pence's refusal to say the phrase "Black Lives Matter."

Baucham, who recently drew national attention when his sermon titled "Ethnic Gnosticism" resurfaced online, said the phrase has been trademarked by a dangerous, violent, Marxist movement that doesn't care about black lives except to use them as political pawns.

"We have to separate this movement from the issues," Baucham warned. "I know that [Black Lives Matter] is a phrase that is part of an organization. It is a trademark phrase. And it's a phrase designed to use black people.

"That phrase dehumanizes black people, because it makes them pawns in a game that has nothing whatsoever to do with black people and their dignity. And has everything to do with a divisive agenda that is bigger than black people. That's why I'm not going to use that phrase, because I love black people. I love being black."

Baucham warned that Black Lives Matter -- a radical Marxist movement -- is using black people and communities to push a dangerous and divisive narrative. He encouraged Americans to educate themselves on the organization's agenda and belief statement.

"This movement is dangerous. This movement is vicious. And this movement uses black people," he emphasized. "And so if I'm really concerned about issues in the black community -- and I am -- then I have to refuse, and I have to repudiate that organization. Because they stand against that for which I am advocating."

WATCH: BLM-linked organization removes webpage after Glenn Beck reveals VIOLENT terrorist origins

Image source: video screenshot

On last week's Wednesday night special, Glenn Beck revealed where the Black Lives Matter organization really gets its funding, and the dark money trail leading to a cast of familiar characters. Shortly after the program aired, one of BLM's fiscal sponsors, Thousand Currents, took down its board of directors page, which featured one of these shady characters:

Ex-Marxist professor and author of "Beyond Woke," Michael Rectenwald, joined Glenn Beck on the TV show to fill us in on the suspicious change he discovered on the Thousand Currents webpage and the Communist terrorists who is now helping run the organization. (Fortunately, the internet is forever, so it is still possible to view the board of directors page by looking at a web archive from the WayBack Machine.)

Rectenwald revealed the shocking life history of Thousand Currents' vice chair of the board, Susan Rosenberg, who spent 16 years in federal prison for her part in a series of increasingly violent acts of terrorism, including bombing the U.S. Capitol building, bombing an FBI building, and targeting police for assassination.

"Their whole campaign was one of unbelievably vicious, murderous cop killings, assassinations, and bombings," explained Rectenwald of Rosenberg's terror group known as the May 19th Communist Organization or M19.
