The Glenn Beck Program




Congressman Phil Hare doesn't care about Constitution

GLENN: We have to get to the audio where Barack Obama mentioned Voldemort's name for the very first time. Me, he mentioned my name with Rush Limbaugh. But in the part of the audio that everybody else is ignoring, he said, you know, the thing about these guys is they'll say, you know, "Oh, look at, you know, he's a Marxist" but then they don't you push them on it and they don't have anything.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Excuse me?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: What?

PAT: Not so much.

GLENN: So I take that as a challenge from the president of the United States to show you exactly where he's a Marxist. We'll do that coming up in just a little while. And, of course, I do want to get to Congressman Phil Hare? Where's Phil from?

PAT: Phil's from Illinois.

GLENN: I'm sorry. He's what?

PAT: He's from Illinois.

GLENN: He's from Illinois?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Isn't that where the president is from?

PAT: Sure is, uh huh.

GLENN: From Illinois.

PAT: Yeah, a lot of these guys are from Illinois.

GLENN: From Illinois.

PAT: Uh huh.

GLENN: And what did Congressman Phil Hare say?

PAT: Phil Hare is talking to some constituents. It looks like it's a town hall type of meeting. They are talking about the healthcare, and Phil's still trying to sell it even though it's already law, and they ask him about the Constitution.

CONGRESSMAN HARE: Well, look. We've got a

VOICE: Where in the Constitution?

CONGRESSMAN HARE: We are I don't worry about the Constitution on this to be honest.

VOICE: Jackpot, brother.

CONGRESSMAN HARE: I care more about, I care more about the people that are dying every day that don't have health insurance.

VOICE: You care more about that than the U.S. Constitution that you swore to uphold?

CONGRESSMAN HARE: I believe it says we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

VOICE: That's the Declaration of Independence.

PAT: Did you hear? That's he cares more about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Somebody in the crowd tells him, that's the Declaration of Independence. "I don't care" is his response. Unbelievable. That's unbelievable. He doesn't he cares more about people who are dying than the U.S. Constitution. So anybody who's sick and doesn't have healthcare is more important than the document that founded this country.

GLENN: No, no, no. No, no, no. Than the document that he swore to uphold.

PAT: And swore to uphold, yeah.

GLENN: And defend.

PAT: Yeah.

Alan Dershowitz: 'It's clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL' to impeach Trump after leaving office

As the Senate prepares for former President Trump's second impeachment trial, many are asking whether it's constitutional to try a president after leaving office. Alan Dershowitz, lawyer and host of the of "The Dershow," joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to talk about the legal battles Trump still faces.

Dershowitz said he believes the Senate doesn't have the authority to convict Trump, now that he's a private citizen again, and thus can't use impeachment to bar him from running for office again.

"The Constitution says the purpose of impeachment is to remove somebody. He [Trump] is out of office. There's nothing left to do.
It doesn't say you can impeach him to disqualify him for the future. It says, if you remove him you can then add disqualification, but you can't just impeach somebody to disqualify them," Dershowitz said.

"The Senate can't try ordinary citizens. So once you're an ordinary citizen, you get tried only in the courts, not in the Senate. So it's clearly unconstitutional," he added.

Dershowitz, who served on Trump's legal team during the first impeachment trial, also discussed whether he thinks Trump is legally (or even just ethically) responsible for the Capitol riot earlier this month, and whether those engaging in violence could be considered "domestic terrorists."

SHOCKING POLL: Majority of Americans think 'other Americans' are greatest risk to US

A new, shocking CBS News poll shows that the majority of Americans believe they're facing a new enemy: other Americans.

More than two-thirds of poll respondents said they believe democracy in the U.S. is "threatened," and 54% said "other people in America" are the "biggest threat to the American way of life," rather than economic factors, viruses, natural disasters, or foreign actors.

Will it be possible to unite our nation with statistics like that? On "The Glenn Beck Radio Program," Glenn and Stu discussed the poll numbers and what they mean for our future.

'The cult of Trump': As Biden era begins, calls grow louder to 'deprogram' Trump supporters

Countless leaders on the left are now arguing that removing President Donald Trump from office won't be enough — they're now calling for the president's "cult-like" supporters to be "deprogrammed." And it's not just fringe politicians.

During an appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week, former NBC anchor Katie Couric said, "The question is, how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump."

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi questioned whether the nation needs "a 9/11-type commission" to determine whether President Trump was colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin "the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol." Clinton also made sure to include her favorite "deplorables" in her unsubstantiated conspiracy theory:

"But we now know that not just [Trump] but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy," Clinton said to Pelosi.

Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and New York Times Magazine's Nikole Hannah-Jones agreed that there is a need for "millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republicans" to be deprogrammed and punished, during an MSNBC interview last week.

Now, a story from the Washington Post is also preaching that narrative and even added that we need more restrictions for conservatives on social media and in the broadcast industry.

"So now we have to be deprogrammed? We've heard this over and over and over and over again, for months," said Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday. He read through the shocking details of the Washington Post op-ed and discussed the extraordinary dangers of the latest anti-conservative movement in America.

'We are the Alamo, we will stand': As calls for censorship get louder, Glenn Beck urges Americans to stand together

As calls for censorship and restrictions against conservative voices get louder, Glenn Beck said he feels an "awesome responsibility" to speak, not the words he'd personally like to say, but those he believes the Lord would want him to share.

"It's an awesome responsibility, and one that I am not worthy of," Glenn said. "I want to say ... what He wants me to say. And I have to listen very carefully, because I feel the same way you do. But that will get us nowhere."

Glenn said it's time for Americans who are awake — not woke — to come together, no matter which side of the political aisle you're on, and stand with the truth.

"We are the Alamo, we will stand. But we desperately, desperately need you," Glenn said. "We need the people who are awake — not woke — awake. You may disagree with us. We are your allies, not your enemies. And if you will not stand with us in our hour of need, there will be no one left to stand with you in your hour of need. We must all come together, anyone who is awake."
