Glenn: America MUST DO THIS BEFORE calling a Convention of States

While Glenn is still fully in support of our constitutional ability to hold a Convention of States, he explains why that he no longer thinks we should, at least not until until a few things happen first. Glenn and Stu debate whether Americans are ready to open up the Constitution — and truly surrender to God to fix our nation — or if a Convention would only be ruled by partisan politics...

GLENN: Welcome back to Mr. Stu Burguiere.

GLENN: Yeah. I was on vacation last week. Trying to keep up with the news, as much as I could.

You know, there's a lot to miss. You know. Because before I went on vacation, the queen passed away. And then when I came back from vacation, she still -- she still is not in her casket, to be wheeled around the country. Which is a very strange, odd thing, that I don't think humans should do. That's a whole different story.

I also saw, apparently, you withdrew your support for the Convention of States?

GLENN: Yeah.

Do you realize -- well, because I didn't plan on saying it. I had been praying on it. And I wasn't planning on saying anything on that day. Just kind of -- I was prompted in the course of something else we were talking about.

STU: Because we've talked about this as a real solution, as one of the only ways to get the country back on track.

GLENN: I know. I know. I know.

STU: And now you're coming out.

Are you announcing you're a Russian asset, just like Donald Trump? After all this time? Is that what you're doing?

GLENN: Yes. Natasha, they've caught on to me. I've got to fly now.

STU: Yeah. No. I think this is -- as I said, I still fully support the Article V -- as -- as it is. I fully believe that that is something that we can do.

I do believe that's the last cord to rip. But I also am very, very concerned. This is not a -- a constitutional problem. This isn't a political problem.

This is a -- a soul problem.

Our country has gone off the rails.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And I happen to believe, that we are in the Third Great Awakening.

STU: The third grade awakening? Like we're all third graders now?

GLENN: No. Third Great Awakening.

STU: That's what it seems. Because I could go for either one of those versions.

GLENN: Yeah, third grade awakening. Where they wake you up. It's time for milk. That's good.

But, no. The third great awakening. I think we're in that. But, you know, the first and the second, both took about 50 years, to do. And the second one, ended in the Civil War.

So I -- you know, I think we are waking. We're at the beginning of that.

But this is something that people without humility, should not open up.

Now, this is -- what's weird is. And I have to make it clear.

The people who were doing the Convention of States, I love them. I think they're a great organization.

STU: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: I think they really have their heart in the right place, and I understand that they -- you know, what they're doing. I am a supporter of them.

But I can't personally endorse it now. Because I am worried, that we are not the people of character, to open that sacred document up.

STU: Oh, we're definitely not the people of character, to do anything.

GLENN: Yeah. Right.

STU: We are a trash heap right now.

GLENN: So we have --

STU: But I thought -- we talked to them before, and I thought a lot of this was addressed in the structure of the convention. You know, it's been a while since we talked about it in tail. You know, Mark Levin wrote a book about this. You know, he's -- and I remember this -- because of these concerns came up at the time. Who are we going to have making these decisions? This could go awry very easily. And it did seem like, I thought that was a pretty compelling argument, that the structure of the convention would prevent that.

GLENN: So it's not just the structure of it as well.

I mean, are we prayerfully approaching this?

I mean, I just didn't get up one morning and go.

I've been thinking about it. And I prayed about it. And I could be wrong. I could be wrong.

Because I know the people who are out there, swinging for this. Are good, decent people. They're really good people.

STU: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: And, you know, David Barton, Wall Builders, they're really behind it.
So who am I to say?

STU: Yeah. And honestly, even when we were talking about this previously, the people who had concerns about it, also were good, prayerful people. I think it's one of those things, that there's a lot of disagreement on what can happen.

I honestly -- we've seen a lot of topics like this recently. Where people who generally agree on most stuff, wind up coming to totally different conclusions. And feel passionate about it, on things like this.

I am, I mean, worth future investigation, I think.
I think that you're totally right in your -- in your -- I think analysis of where we are as a country.

You know, like I -- this is another example from this past week. And I was watching it, sort of from afar. The situation where -- with DeSantis sending the illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard. Now, of course, number one, I think it's funny. That's the most important part of the strategy.

But, like, I have absolutely no problem with the policy of what Abbott has done or what DeSantis has done. Or what -- I'm totally fine. All the arguments against it, are the same arguments we make in Texas every day.

GLENN: Yeah, and I'm tired. It's really driving me crazy. Going. We're not Texas. We're Washington, DC. We're not Texas. What does that even mean?

STU: Yeah. Right. Exactly. You're not a small border town that's overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of immigrants every few weeks. So I have no sympathy at all for the left on this. The one thing that I think, and this is essentially why you're hearing it.

What is somewhat effective, maybe as an argument. Is I don't want to be lying to people about it.

I don't want to tell them, like, hey. You're going somewhere. And it's not -- hold on. Let me -- let me qualify this. There's very little evidence, that anyone lied to anyone. There are a couple of claims from the immigration attorneys, in Martha's Vineyard. Take this with a grain of salt.

GLENN: Yeah. I take it with a whole salt mine.

STU: Yeah. I don't believe it. But it were true. I would have a problem lying to the illegal immigrants about this. Even though they're here illegally, and don't deserve any of the treatment that they --

GLENN: But it's not like we're sending them to Minnesota.

STU: Martha's Vineyard is awesome. It's a really great place to visit. But my point though was, I heard some people on the right saying, I don't care. Lie to them. Lie all you want.

STU: No, I don't want to be that person.

GLENN: And I think there is this disconnect certainly on the left, that have abandoned all -- all core principle at this point.

And I think there's a temptation on the right, to do similar things, because -- I'm not saying DeSantis even did this.

Again, to be clear. But because, look, they've gone so far, so we need to go so far. And whether we're going to stick with our principles or not.

Look, that's a relic of a past time.

And honestly, part of it, I understand.

Part of it, emotionally, I get. Right?

They're using these things. And we need to be able to fight fire with fire.

GLENN: There's nothing immoral about sending them to different places. You can send them any place in America. They're coming to America.
Why do they have to stop in Texas and Arizona and California?

STU: That's fighting fire with fire within the realm of principle. Right?

GLENN: Fine. Then spread the pain out.

STU: As DeSantis said, everybody should experience a piece of the burden here. Especially, if you're approving it.

GLENN: Especially if you're a sanctuary city. Yeah. When you're saying you're a sanctuary. That to me, is fighting fire with fire. Within the realms of principle, right?

Because I don't want to be the left. I don't want to be them. I don't want to be them. I would rather lose than become they believe.

GLENN: Yes. Well.

STU: If you about it beyond that, and you start breaking your principles in this battle. Then I think you've crossed a line I'm not comfortable with. Now, everybody else on earth, might be comfortable with it.

So it doesn't matter what I think. I will live on my lonesome probably under a bridge somewhere. I'm fine with it. That's my choice.

I think there is a line. And it's a line that this audience oar the years, has given healthy respect to. There have been plenty of times where we pushed back, and tried to do things. And not crossed lines of principle.

And I think that's important. And I honestly think both Abbott and DeSantis have done that here. Unless some of these wild claims are true, which we have no evidence of, at this point.

But, you know, I don't think there's any evidence they've done this. But I do think it is something that in a war, which is what it feels like on a day to take basis here. Not a literal war. But as close as you can get politically. It's tempting to go down these roads. We have to make sure that we don't. We have to make sure that we win. And we win in a way that holds up what we believe in. Because if you break that, you haven't won.

GLENN: Right. And when I see that as -- I mean, there's a couple of things, that I think, that I'm looking for.

Will the country humble itself, before it's forced to humble itself?

Because the humbling is coming. It's coming. You know. And if we humble ourselves before it's coming, maybe we turn the tide. You know, maybe -- maybe we are a little bit more kind, to each other, when it does hit.

We have to humble ourselves. And realize, you know, I was talking to Dennis Prager this weekend. He said, he was -- he's fascinated with my alcoholism. And I said, well, that's something weird to be fascinated by.

But he said, you know, how can alcoholics save the country? Because he was referring to me for years as saying, alcoholics will save the country.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: Just think of this as a 12 step program. First thing, the country has to do. Admit we have a problem. And not just the right or the left.

All of us. We have a problem.

This is not working. And we keep sending people in. And going, hey, you can be our savior. You're going to fix it all.

And they betray us for the most part. Exception, Donald Trump. He actually did do what he said he was going to do. But we are powerless over this. Okay?

We have a problem. And we're powerless over it. Now, you turn to a higher power.

And that doesn't mean somebody in Washington. That means somebody that is above all of it. All of it.

Well, that's a place for God. And you surrender to that. That -- that is the essential first step to healing and correcting any problem.

I got a problem. I've tried everything. Everything doesn't work. So I'm clearly not the guy to fix it. I'm pretty powerless on this. I'm taking my hands off the steering wheel. And I'm trusting a higher power. And I'm so broken and beaten down, that I'll do whatever you tell me to do. What do you want me to do, God? What do you want me to do? Because I'll do it.

We have to get there.

After that, it's, hey, make an inventory of all the people that you've hurt. You think we're willing to do that?

No. Because it would immediately go into, yeah. That's right. You are bad. See, I told you, you're bad. You're really wad. And you owe that person money.

No. No.

Can we just look at the things that we've done, and say, these were good? These were bad. These we should do more of, those we should do less of.

If we can get there, that would be even a bigger miracle. Because at the end of the 12, the 12th is, serve.

I'm going to serve my fellow man. I'll help people who have been struggling, just like me. And I'm doing it for politics or money or anything else.

I'm just going to do it, because I know I've been saved. So I want to help serve other people.

That's the -- that's the America that we should be striving towards. But who is talking about surrender?

And, by the way, surrender, another way to look at it again, for alcoholics. I didn't give in and go, you know what, I surrender. I'm powerless over alcohol. So I'm just going to drink some water.

That's not what it means. It means, surrender to a higher power. Because you keep trying to stop it. And you can't stop it.

STU: Yeah. It's not a surrender to a loss. It's a surrender so you can win.

GLENN: So you can win.

11 plans global elites have for YOUR FUTURE

Global elites and the media are hard at work to convince you that everything they are planning is a "conspiracy theory." But Glenn argues that they're really "conspiracy FACTS." Glenn reads an article titled "11 assumptions about the future" from Doug Casey's International Man that can be used to guide our actions moving forward, and it lines up with the warnings Glenn gave in his newest book, "Dark Future." Glenn reviews these 11 plans global elites have for your future: CBDCs, digital IDs, a "Greater Depression," a rise in crime and censorship, and even World War III are either already here or likely around the corner. So, here's how you should prepare ...

GLENN: I'm -- I'm -- I'm wondering, if I should share something with you, that I found very, very true.

Eleven assumptions about the future. And it's from Doug Casey. And, I mean, I don't want to bum you out, it's a Monday.

But I included it on today's show prep at GlennBeck.com.

Because I think it's really important. Because I think it is true.

And this -- the reason why I say these things.

Because there's a lot of people who listen to this program. And you're like, I know. I know. It's coming, right?

I know.

Yeah. If you ever hear me say, I'm going to the mountain, and I probably won't be back. Then you know. But it's coming.

And here's what's coming.

Change. That's it. Change.

Everything in life changes. We're under constant change. The America that was 100 years ago, has changed so many times, the people I think if we had a time machine. People from 100 years ago, would come here, and they would say, oh.

I don't want to live there. And we would go back to their time and go, I really don't want to live back there. We're all born for a specific time.

And now is our time. And change is coming.

Now, this is -- I would classify it as catastrophic change, not because it's all bad.

It could be really, really great. We're not headed towards the great basket right now.

We're headed towards the other basket. Catastrophic basket. Basket.

And that's a choice, that we all have to make.

But the biggest problem with this is, the politicos have done such a good job in dividing all of us. And I would put myself in this category too. I've had my share of dividing people.

And it has been --

STU: You? You've --

GLENN: Hmm?

STU: You -- you think you're decisive in some way? I've never heard such a claim.

GLENN: Well, not intentionally. In today's world. Just telling the truth.

STU: That's plenty.

GLENN: Just telling the truth is enough.

And we have to get past that.

Because when I'm looking at these things.

I think, if people could just wake up, we could fix this.

Now, Doug Casey has Doug Casey's take on podcasts. That I want you to listen to what he says, is coming.

Here are the 11 assumptions that I'm using today, to guide my actions.

One, less freedom of movement is coming.

There will be more effort, is to restrict and regulate our freedom of movement from vax passports, to increased visa requirements. And 15-minute city initiatives.

The grid is being constructed to regulate our freedom of movement. That is absolutely true.

And if you read Dark Future, you'll know it to be true because we outline it.

These are not conspiracy theories.

These are facts, that are also conspiracies.

Conspiracy just means, there are people plotting and trying to cover their tracks.

And trying to deny, to throw people off their trail.

Well, they're not even denying.

They're just using the media to say, conspiracy theory!

And then they do it anyway.

For instance, the gas stoves.

Do you know that every single appliance, and you can read about it in today's show prep. At GlennBeck.com.

Get my show prep. Because I can only get to maybe I don't even know.

10 percent of the stories. Get my show prep every day.

It's so critical, that you read that. It's free at GlennBeck.com.

But these are things that every time, they say, it's a conspiracy theory. They throw you off the trail.

They divide us even further.

And then what happens?

They just do it, because it's too late.

Second, CBDC is coming.

Cash will be eliminated. How restrictive it may end up being, I don't know.

But CBDC, is a foregone conclusion.

Timing, some say, by 2030, there are indications that major economies are working to be ready to deploy by 2025.

The digital ID is already here.

It's number three.

Biometrics are the future. If you have a government issued ID, associated with your photograph. You're in the system already.

How the ID is developed and deployed. And enforced is the question.

Number four. The greater depression. Timing is hard. But can any thinking person imagine how the outcome can be avoided altogether.

Suggest, a market pullback of up to 30 percent between now and early 2024.

Okay. This I've heard from several people, 30 percent pullback. That's the stock market falling 30 percent.

And everyone I've talked to. And I don't know about stock markets. And I -- I hate the stock market.

But everybody I talked to said, about 30 percent or more is coming. And we might already be in it.

It will be followed by a pump, and deflationary wipeout in 2025.

Most financial assets, number five, will disappear at some point.

Inflation, bank bail-in. Market wipeout.

I don't know the cause. But I assume -- I assume physical assets are where I need to be ultimately.

This is important for you to understand.

That land, your home, anything physical, any gold, silver, food, seeds. Anything physical, is important.

Anything that is money, it will -- you can bury it all you want. It will slip through your fingers.

Because that's all going to be taken. Debt is going to be a real problem. When the banks start to collapse, they'll just start seizing assets.

Six, increasing crime and disorder. You've seen the videos. Whether driven by economic desperation, mass migration. The inversion of law. Or in the name of social justice.

Crime and disorder will grow and lead to greater physical threats to our lives and property from our fellow man. This makes urban environments, especially but not exclusively a real risk, absolutely true.

How many times do I tell you, a week, Stu.

You really don't want to be near the city. You really --

STU: You do mention it to me, a lot.

GLENN: A lot.

You don't want to be near the cities. Number seven.

Supply constraints are increasing around all commodities.

From food, to energy.

Did you see the story in the show prep today, Stu. About what he's done. What Biden has just done with oil and gas.

He's passed the toughest standards on drilling and finding natural gas, in the history of America.

He is shutting it down from food to energy. Tight supplies are showing up everywhere.

Live cattle, long dormant, hit an all-time high recently. Oil prices are up 30 percent in the last three months.

Forty percent of Argentina's wheat crop is in poor to fair condition, and protectionist policies are on the rise globally.

Eight, World War III is coming.

A good case can be made. That it's already begun.

I don't know if you saw this, this is also in the show prep today.

The Army War College recently published a study suggesting that the all-volunteer force had reached the end of its useful life. With the military struggling with recruiting, conscription is likely at some point.

I don't know if you saw this, also in the show prep.

Russia is holding for the first time ever.

Let me see if I can find this.

Russia is set to hold a nationwide exercise, early next month.

According to new reports.

In preparation, for the danger of armed conflicts, involving nuclear weapons.

Russia authorities will hold a large-scale trillion across the country, on October 3rd. Is that tomorrow, or is that today?

That's tomorrow.

Because of the growing danger of armed conflicts, including with nuclear capable powers, near Russia's borders. The drill is the first time, that Moscow has held such a drill.

Which will imagine that Russia is at least partially under marshal law. And that up to 70 percent of the country's housing facilities, have been destroyed.

That's what they're preparing for.

Now, we're saying, well, I don't -- what are we -- are we?

Yeah. We should go to war. Because my party says, we should go to war.

You have noticed, by the way. That that is something that the parties are saying. But the American people are not?

If you look at the latest poll numbers. It is showing, that the American people are not in step with the parties.

It's the parties that are pushing for war. The average American is saying, I don't want to go to war. I've no desire to go to war. I don't think we should even be there.

STU: I mean, the parties are not outwardly saying that. But their actions are taking us down that road.

GLENN: Definitely.

STU: And the American people are now getting to the point to where they're opposing even the funding of the war effort in Ukraine. Republicans are already there. Independents are getting closer. Democrats still, very low level of opposition to it. But rising.

GLENN: And look at this, conscription is likely, at some point. That means, if they missed your child in school, they'll indoctrinate them in the military.

I mean, the military, even with everything that's coming up, the military is still saying, no. Abortion and DEI, much more important than -- you know, that's going to kill us. I'll tell you that. This stopping those programs.

STU: That's the kind of thing an election can solve. Right?

Having a Republican president that makes some sense, could put an end to that quickly.

GLENN: A change in our policies, less freedom of movement. Number one.

Goes away. CBDC. You already have DeSantis saying, day one. No CBDC.

The digital ID. That could be stopped with an election. The greater depression.

Maybe not. If we don't turn this around quickly.

Financial assets will disappear at some point.

Maybe -- maybe not.

Increasing crime and disorder. That could be changed. Supply restraints. Increasing around all commodities. Oil. That can change. Food? That can change.

World War III is coming. That can change. Censorship, and digital control, will enter a new phase.

Deplatforming. Debanking. Shadow banning. And social media account suspensions will increase.

Centralized digital services of all kind should be considered suspect.

And very likely dangerous to use. In the future.

Wow. By the way, I can't believe I'm saying this, but in today's newsletter. There's a story about Canada. Trudeau is now pushing to regulate all podcasts.

They have tight regulation for all broadcasts. There are things that you just can't and cannot do in Canada.

You notice, they don't have talk radio in Canada. Not like this.

It's not popular. Any time, they tried this, you would have to balance this. So it's all Milquetoast, awful.

And it's tightly regulated.

To the point to where the Blaze, which is here in America, our sister. I mean, we're not actually sisters.

But our sister, news outlet out there is Rebel News. And they have had trouble with the government over and over and over again.

And they won't shut up.

And they're not radical.

They just believe in freedom of speech.

Number ten, the US election. Regardless of the outcome, is an inflection point, and potentially a flash point.

GLENN: So number ten on this list, is the US election, regardless of the outcome, is an inflection point. And potentially a flash point.

If, the writer writes, if that happens, the outcome will not be accepted by half of the country.

We can be sure, that running up to and shortly after the election, things could get wild.

In advance of the 2020 election, we had COVID and BLM. Shortly after, January 6th and state overreach.

What will 2024 bring?

I think this is something that we need to begin to talk about. Because I think everybody knows it. We just don't talk about it.

I think everybody fears that if Donald Trump or whoever is the G.O.P. candidate, wins, the left will scream, that it was stolen.

And they'll be in the streets, for every cut. And everything that happens.

STU: Sure. Any doubt about that?

GLENN: None. None.

STU: I mean, the last two elections have been this scenario, where half of the country says, it's a fake. Last two. And I don't see -- there's any possibility of this one. Unless you had some Reagan-esque landslide. Maybe. Maybe you have a chance.

GLENN: Maybe. Maybe. If Donald Trump doesn't win, does anyone believe that there aren't a lot of people that -- and I would seriously question the election. Even -- I don't care who wins.

I haven't seen anyone do anything of significance, in the states that are the swing states.

All of the states that Donald Trump lost last time, because they stopped -- they stopped counting.

Okay.

I don't know what that was.

I haven't seen anybody actually really look into it. With any credibility.

So I don't feel confident.

Now, those states, they have either enhanced those laws. Or strengthened those laws. To give us the same kind of election, we had last time.

STU: Some -- you could argue with some of those states. I think, for example, Georgia has improved their laws. There have been some that have done it.

Again, here's the thing, Glenn. I don't think anyone actually is looking -- going to be looking at. Well, let me -- bring the evidence to me. Place it in front of me.

Let's have a real discussion of what happened.

People just feel. They feel it. And it doesn't matter if it's honestly issued or not.

The problem with the system is that everyone feels like we're in this state of constant chaos.

And nothing is real.

GLENN: Correct. Correct.

STU: And I guarantee you, if Donald Trump wins the election. The other side will claim fraud. And if Joe Biden wins, then the Republican side will claim fraud.

It will just happen. It's just part of our landscape right now.

GLENN: And then final point from Doug Casey's 11. There's a war happening today. It's a war on us. For most of this cycle, they will rely on the same approach, if and when we see a move toward a kinetic force.

We should be alarmed. Because we've entered a new phase. And a more dangerous phase.

It's out of your control. But your life is not. Fix your life.

Get that at GlennBeck.com. We'll send you the link to today's show prep.

Is there ANY way Democrat Jamaal Bowman 'ACCIDENTALLY' pulled a fire alarm?

Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulled a fire alarm right before an important vote on funding the government. Many accused him of trying to delay the vote. But he claimed he was just trying to open a door and had no idea it would actually trigger the fire alarm. Is that excuse believable at all? Glenn, who has been known to accidentally pull fire alarms all the time, reviews the evidence and reveals the only somewhat plausible way Bowman could have possibly thought pulling the alarm would open the door ... maybe. Plus, he and Stu review Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's "delightfully stupid" defense of her progressive colleague.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So I -- let me just -- oh, jeez.

Oh. I am sorry. I -- I was trying to open my desk drawer to get another pain. And I didn't know how to open it.

And I just pulled the -- I thought that would open the desk -- it's a false alarm, you can shut it off now. Oh, boy.

Wow.

It's going to be one of those days.

STU: They need to label it better. You can't tell.

GLENN: Right. It says right here, pull in case of fire. Oh, no.

STU: No.

GLENN: My finger slipped. I didn't mean. It was a false alarm.

False alarm. We can -- thank you. Oh, my.

You know, this -- this happens more than you think. You know, I feel pretty stupid right now right now. Because everybody says, it's a fire alarm, it's clearly marked.

When was the last time you pulled the fire alarm by mistake? When was the last time you met somebody who pulled it by mistake?

And I would say, never. Okay?

I mean, yes, I knew somebody in grade school who pulled it intentionally.

But that's the only time, I've ever seen anyone involved in pulling a firearm.

Because they're clearly marked. Now, that's what you might think. However, there are a lot of people, a lot -- well, there's one person, who thought it would open a door. This is what happened, this weekend.

STU: In the building, he works in every day --

GLENN: Well, it's probably a door he's never been to.

STU: Does he think the doors work differently in different parts of the building? Like they just operate.

GLENN: I don't know what you mean.

STU: There's just a handle separate from the door?

GLENN: Well, no. He couldn't -- I mean, the door was marked.

STU: Right. Okay. Okay.
GLENN: Push the lever, and door will open and sound the alarm.

And said, it will sound -- push the lever, and alarm will sound for 15 seconds. Door will open.
And that was clearly marked on the door on the lever.

But he said, he needed to get out. Because, well, he had to get to a vote. Now, a lot of people will say that Jamal bowman, was pulling the fire alarm, to make sure everyone in the Capitol, got out of the Capitol.

So he would disrupt. What do they call it? Oh, an official proceeding.

STU: Hmm. Hmm. Sounds odd.

GLENN: But he was --

STU: Because you're not supposed to disrupt official proceedings. We've learned that quite a bit.

GLENN: Gosh, Stu, I'm sorry. I couldn't get this jar of pickles open. I was just going to have a pickle while I was listening to you.

And I couldn't get it open, and I pulled the fire alarm. I thought maybe that would -- it says twist to open right here on the --

STU: Well, they should be clearer on that.

GLENN: It was another false alarm! Thank you. Oh, man.

STU: Close call.

GLENN: It happens all the time, doesn't it?

GLENN: Now we have to delay the show?

We what?

STU: We have to delay the show.

GLENN: I just pulled the fire alarm because you said it would delay the show.

STU: Now, we can't do a show while the fire alarm is sounding.

GLENN: Sorry, guys. We all have to go away. Good night, everybody.

STU: Well, now it's off. So we can do the show again. I mean, this is unbelievable.

The idea that we're supposed to believe this.

GLENN: Well, AOC, she believes it.

Now, she was the one. She was the one who had never seen a disposal before.

Remember, she did an Instagram thing. She flipped a switch. And said, I don't know what this switch does by my sink. And she turns it. And it's the disposal.

And she goes, oh, my gosh. What is that?

I've never seen one of those. I don't know what that disposal is.

I've never seen heard of it.

Maybe if I do this, I can close it. Will it close the disposal?

I'm just trying to close the disposal!

STU: It really should have sent AOC to do this job.

Because people would have legitimately believed that she would have pulled the fire alarm and the door opened. She's the only person I know, that would actually believe it. I would totally buy it from her.

GLENN: Yeah. Now, first of all, let me give you AOC.

Here she is.

VOICE: I will be honest a bit. It doesn't really make sense to me, his explanation.

Did you talk to him? What's going on?

VOICE: Yeah. I think if you do see some photos of the sign. I think there's something to be said, about the government is about to shut down. There's a clock that's going down. The exits that were normally opened have been suddenly closed.

STU: Suddenly.

VOICE: So I -- what I'm here to say is that --

STU: What I'm here to say is...

GLENN: Capitol Police and Jamaal Bowman are active, and he's fully participating. And saying, there was a misunderstanding.

STU: Hold on.

He's active and fully participating in saying that there was a misunderstanding?

GLENN: Yes. He was actively --

STU: That is not our language.

GLENN: No. He was active --

STU: What language is that? What combination of words?

GLENN: That's American, okay?

You're American in you, speak American.

STU: She is delightfully stupid.
(laughter)
I know -- I know people don't like her.

I understand that. But I just find her just wonderful. She's so dumb. And so public about it.

GLENN: Hang. Hang on.

STU: What happened?

GLENN: There was apparently, one of our listeners was opening their mind.

STU: Okay. Oh, no.

GLENN: And they thought that's how they did it. Apparently not.

So false alarm!

STU: I mean, she is -- it's not like this is the first time she's ever been on television.

If that were the case. You might say, wow. She's really struggling in this moment.

GLENN: I want to ask you.

I want to ask you. Now, I have a method to the madness. Just to go with me.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: What does a fire alarm look like?

STU: It's a little handle. Usually says fire.

GLENN: Red and white, yeah? Where is it usually?

STU: On the wall.

GLENN: On the wall, okay.

Where did you learn about fire alarms?

STU: I don't know that I can trace that back.

It seems so blatantly obvious. I can't point to where I learned about it.

But it was certainly when I was very young.

GLENN: Probably in school.

Because you had, what?

Fire drills.

STU: That's right.

GLENN: And do you know anybody who accidentally has pulled a fire drill.

STU: Not until this week.

GLENN: Not until this weekend. Okay.

Number one, I learned about them in school, I'm sure. I didn't see them anywhere else, I'm sure. So I learned about it in school.

Guess what Jamaal Bowman did, before he was a member of Congress?

STU: I mean, gee. What could it be?

GLENN: Well, he was the principal of a school.

STU: School. Hmm.

GLENN: So I'm sure, he didn't have any run-ins with firearms, at a school.

STU: No. And surely, he wasn't taught, that people sometimes, pull firearms to delay things. By students.

GLENN: Oh, he never gave that message. Never gave that message.

Do not pull a fire alarm. It's not a joke. Not a joke.

Now, it's an offense for a couple of reasons this time. Pulling a fire alarm is illegal if there is no fire.

STU: It's like, yelling fire in a crowded theater.

Similar to that.

GLENN: Exactly right. Exactly right. And there's another reason you don't do it in the Capitol.

And that would be because you were trying to obstruct official proceedings.

So, in other words, if January 6th, just one guy, one guy would have walked in.

And pulled the fire alarm. He would have been given the 22 years. Just because he was obstructing an official proceeding.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Now, if that guy happened to be -- and this is very common.

If that guy happened to say, I'm sorry. I was just trying to open the door.

I thought this would open the door. It would have been gone. I mean, they would have even questioned it.

STU: Yeah. I think they would just let them go immediately. He just made a mistake. That was a door handle that was labeled fire.

That was not -- to the side of the door.

GLENN: Sure. And it doesn't say door. It says fire.

STU: No, it says fire.

GLENN: It says fire. So the best I can do on this, is he was trying to open the door, and he thought those were fire doors.

Now, seeing that they were glass doors, seeing that they were glass doors, you -- I have to grade him down on intelligence yet again.

STU: Wait. You are trying to give him this benefit of the doubt. Saying, okay. It's a fire door.

So, therefore --

GLENN: And it would open up.

But that's the exact opposite of what a fire door would do.

STU: Right. It would be the opposite. It would be close. You would want it to be closed, the fire.

GLENN: Yes. Yes.

Why, Stu?

STU: Because you want the fire to come through.

GLENN: Well, yes.

But if it's to the outside, it would also feed a fire. Because you don't want more oxygen coming in.

STU: Right. There you go.

GLENN: So I can't make this work.

I can't make this work at all.

STU: I mean, it's impossible.

It's impossible for anybody to believe this.

And it's one of those things, that let's just take him at his word, for a second. Let's just entertain this for a second. He walked in, he saw fire. He pulled the thing. He was going door to door. He should be immediately removed from Congress.

GLENN: Why is that, Stu?

STU: But you're obviously too stupid to be in Congress.

So either --

GLENN: I agree with this.

STU: You should be out of Congress, because you're too dumb.

GLENN: I agree with this.

Look, if he is this stupid, we don't have to impeach him. We don't have to do anything. He won't find his way to work, sometime this week.

STU: Right.

GLENN: Okay?

He won't find his pants or his underpants, sometime this week. And he will just walk out in his wing tipped shoes. And his tie and his shirt. And, you know, everything swinging in the breeze. And he will be like, what are you talking about?

Oh, my pants? I didn't know I was -- how do I put my pants on?

Just -- just have to -- get that. Would that help put my pants?

Hello. I need to put my pants. Somebody with pants. Come quick!

Oh. False alarm. I don't need pants.

I don't wear pants.

STU: But you're already wearing them.

Why would Biden try to DEPORT persecuted Christian family while leaving border WIDE OPEN?

The Romeike family has spent the last 15 years living in America, seeking asylum after facing persecution in Germany for homeschooling their children. But recently, immigration officials ordered them to self-deport back to Germany by October 11, despite having followed the law. But why is the Biden administration going after this Christian family while keeping our border wide open to illegal immigrants? The father, Uwe Romeike, and his attorney, Kevin Boden of the Home School Legal Defense Association, join Glenn to detail this latest chapter of their story and explain what they plan to do next.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: We told you a story, maybe it was 2010 or '11. I don't remember when it was. This story has been going on forever.

There is a German family, they were living in Germany. They were homeschooling their kids.

That's illegal in Germany. They pulled their kids out.

Because look at the crap we're now teaching our kids.

You want your kids in that in homeschooling is illegal. They faced fines, adding up over $10,000.

They were threatened with the loss of the custody of their children.

And their children were taken, brought to school. By the police.

All right? That's how bad it got. In 2010, they came to the United States, and asked for asylum. Because of their religious point of view. They were -- they were threatened with all kinds of stuff.

So they granted -- they were granted asylum in the US.

But the government appealed. Two years later, the Sixth Circuit court finally revoked the asylum status. Supreme Court with not hear the case.

At that time, the attorney was told by the Department of Homeland Security. They would grant them indefinite deferred action, and not deport the family.

They went to the ICE office, once a year, as directed. They did everything that they were supposed to do.

They were just getting a document signed based on, so they could get employment authorizations in America.

They have lived within the law the whole time. They came here, the right way. Thee weeks ago, they were told to come back in a month with all of their documents. Because they were going to be deported.

That includes the five children that came with them in 2008. As well as, the two that were born here now, in America.

The oldest children that got married to an American citizen, last year. The first grandchild was born here, two weeks ago.

And they're supposed to leave America.

If they go back, they will face the same persecution, high fines.

It will financially ruin their -- their family.

They'll have jail time. And lose the custody of their kids. And the older kids, that were homeschooled, here in America, it will not be counted in Germany.

So they will not be able to go for higher education, or get good jobs.

Because it won't count.

With the hundreds of thousands, that are coming across our border, every month, illegally. And the left says, it's all about asylum.

And persecution.

This case is. We're going to talk to them in 60 seconds.

So let me tell you about Real Estate Agents I Trust. According to a recent article in the Washington Examiner, new home sales fell last month because of the disastrous effects of Bidenomics, catching up in the housing market.

All right. Uwe Romeike is the dad. He is also with Kevin Boden.

He is a Homeschool Legal Defense Association attorney.

Did I get any of the -- of the story wrong, Uwe?

UWE: No, it was all right. Thank you for having me on. The only thing that was different, was wrong, was the initial day or year when we came was 2008.

GLENN: 2008.

UWE: We have been hear for 15 years now. Yes.

GLENN: Okay. And I remember we talked to you earlier, because your case was pending, I think at the time. And you have lived now here for 15 years.

You have been good, solid citizens. You -- you have jobs. You're not depending on the government. Correct

UWE: Correct. Yes.

GLENN: And what happens if you go back to Germany? What happens to you and your family?

UWE: Yes. Since we were born here in the United States. They would come with us, of course. They are now ten and 12 years old. And six and seventh grade.

And we were homeschooled. 80 percent. That's the earlier situation with custody. Earlier custody.

And fines. And prosecutions. And all these things.

That would be the same as before we left. So there wouldn't be any way to homeschool in Germany.

GLENN: And why are you homeschooling in Germany? What is this really all about?

UWE: Well, you know, we have several reasons. But initially, we started homeschooling, because our two oldest children who at that time, were in school for two or three years, their -- their personality changed. They became with withdrawn. They developed headaches, stomachaches.

Doctor couldn't say there was any physical reason. It was all in terms of bullying, and having a fear to go to school.

And then later on, we found out, that also, what they were taught at school was diametrically against what we as Christians believe.

So there were so many reasons we didn't want them to go there again. And once we started actually homeschooling, they relaxed. They became their old selves again.

And they have children now, and they're all grown up. They have good jobs here.

And so everything turned our world. So we wanted to do the best for our children. We wanted to do that.

GLENN: And so you have two older children, that married Americans.

UWE: Yes.

GLENN: And they have -- they're being deported as well?

UWE: Yes. Because -- citizenship, of the paperwork, hadn't gone through yet.

So it's the process. So they're now all in tutoring.

GLENN: Okay. So let me talk to your attorney, Kevin.

Kevin works for HSLDA. It is a nonprofit organization. Making homeschooling possible, and making sure they're defending the homeschoolers. Kevin, what is -- what is happening here?

KEVIN: Well, Glenn, thanks for having us on. I know you've been supporting the family, for many, many years. Going all the way back to 2014. And we appreciate that.

We don't know what was going on. We do know, they were told to go back in four weeks. And bring their passports, to self-deportation. We also know that ICE, you know, has the ability to execute prosecutorial discretion. And to not deport the family.

And so we know what they've been told to do. And we know what's in the authority to do.

And for some reason, we don't have yet. They have been told to get ready to go.

GLENN: Huh. Paragraph all I can think of is -- I mean, what would happen if they went on vacation?

And, you know, in Texas.

And were staying at a friend's house.

I mean, what would happen?

KEVIN: Well, we don't know. They are under an order of supervision that they had been under for the last 10 years. Which does require they show up to these ICE meetings.

So they've been directed to come back. And they have an obligation per this order of supervision to show up.

And, you know -- as you you know, Uwe and Hannelore have been law-abiding individuals in this country, since the day they set foot on American soil. If you notice like I do, they will do nothing but comply with the law because that's the type of character that this family has.

GLENN: I have to tell you, I am so disgusted by this. This is truly a family that needs asylum. They don't have the First Amendment in Germany. We have it here to protect people. This is what it means to bring in those who are persecuted.

Not the hundreds of thousands of -- of young men, without families, coming across our border, in the middle of the night.

They did it the right way.

And this -- I tell you, Kevin, this bothers me so deeply.

When I first heard this story, a couple of weeks ago.

I think I said this on the air. It was a very dark day for me.

I had a really -- Stu will tell you, you had a really hard time going on.

Because I thought, if this government, with everything that is out of control, has the time to take this family down.

They have such malice, that it -- that it -- they're doing things that we can't even imagine. If they're coming after this family, that's malice.

And it is -- and it is not good for any American.

KEVIN: Well, and, Glenn, it's inconsistent with the Department of Homeland Security's own policies. I mean, there's a guidance memorandum from 2021, Secretary Mayorkas.

And the three priorities are a threat to national security, threat to public safety, and threat to border security.

So, I mean, you tell me, where does the Romeike family fall into these three priorities?

I mean, they are the lowest of the low, in terms of being here in the United States.

So, you know, my thought is, just follow your own priorities. They're good priorities.

But why are we not putting resources in the US government to actually enforce the priorities, that they have identified?

GLENN: So what's the plan?

KEVIN: Well, we have a petition we're circulating. We're hoping to present that to President Joe Biden.

GLENN: We're there!

KEVIN: Well, it's to demonstrate broad support.

Of course, we want to just demonstrate that the country is behind this family.

Representative Harshbarger has filed a private bill in the House of Representatives. Many before the House Judiciary Committee.

We would like members of Congress to support that private bill. They can't cosponsor. They can support it.

Then Jim Jordan in that committee or subcommittee, can request a report from ICE, with this bill, that would effectively be a stay on any removal proceedings. So we're asking the judiciary committee. The House Judiciary Committee, to request that report.

To tell -- ICE is telling them, what's going on? Why are you deporting this family? What's going on? Give us the actual -- give us the reason. And that would provide temporary reprieve to Romeike and family, and then long-term, we would love a private bill in the Senate as well.

And, you know, those are a couple of the angles, that we're looking at right now. Which would allow them to stay and to continue their life hear.

As we pursue some longer term strategies.

GLENN: Okay. So here's. If you're listening now. If you're not listening, then how you are hearing me?

But if you are listening, I want you to go to HSLDA. HSLDA.org/Romeike, which is R-O-M-E-I-K-E. Rome Ike is how you spell that. HSLDA.org/Romeike.

And sign this. I am on the website right now. And I am going to sign my name to it. I never sign petitions. But I will sign a petition for this family.

This is totally outrageous. What else can we do to help this family?

KEVIN: Well, Uwe can speak as well. What he would say also is pray. This is a faith-filled family. And they love the Lord. And as he's told me many, many times, we appeal to the most high. And the most high can take action and supernaturally intervene.

And I know for their hearts, that's something that everyone, regardless of whether they sign, donate, whatever, that's something they can do.

GLENN: Can I invite the -- I'm saying this without any knowing of my schedule at all here. So I apologize to my production staff. But I would like to invite the family especially the kids that were born here and the older kids.

I would like to interview them. And make sure that people see this family. And what you're really all about.

Can we get you guys to come in for that?

UWE: We would love to, yes. Thank you.

GLENN: I am -- I have done more apologizing to foreigners for my country in the last five to eight years, that I thought I would never have to do this. We have done so many immoral things. We have done so many things against God. We have so lost our way, we don't even know who we are anymore.

And my apologies for what our country is doing to you and your family. This is absolutely immoral.

And I thank you for being people that still love our country. Despite what we've done.

UWE: Yes. And we love the American people. And it's really my knowledge, that it is the best.

I think most Americans are good people. And believe in people. Question people. And we are very thankful for all the support, prayer, and people who loved on us, when we first came hear.

So we feel very blessed to be here. Thank you for all your support.

GLENN: You bet. Thank you. We'll be in touch.

Guys, thank you so much.

It's HSLDA.org/Romeike, which is Romeike. R-O-M-E-I-K-E.

I have to tell you, this is one that I will go camp outside of their house and I will surround their house with like-minded, loving Christian people who will just not break arms on our knees. We just go and kneel around their house, in droves, and we lock arms and we just pray for this family.

And if they have to haul -- if they have to haul me to jail so they can get to that family, so be it. I have had enough. I have had enough. And I don't want to be a part of -- of anything that is violent, is trying to overthrow anything.

But there comes a time where we have got to stand or kneel!

Begging and -- and relying on the protection of Divine Providence.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Why Conservatives Need 'Indoctrination Centers' | Liz Wheeler | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 196

Liz Wheeler, host of “The Liz Wheeler Show,” wants everyone to know that our children are being attacked by “forces of Marxism.” It’s NOT an exaggeration, and her new book, “Hide Your Children: Exposing the Marxists Behind the Attack on America’s Kids,” shows exactly how the far Left has the nation’s youngest citizens in its crosshairs — especially within America’s public schools. In this episode of “The Glenn Beck Podcast,” Wheeler joins Glenn to outline exactly where these attacks are taking place. Plus, they discuss why Planned Parenthood recently has become a major force in the trans rights movement, the woke villainization of white, Christian men, and the biggest misconceptions regarding AI (artificial intelligence).
