Glenn and TheBlaze have been covering the growing crisis at the southern border for a number of weeks now. With the situation further deteriorating, Glenn came before his audience on Monday morning with an interesting ask. In fact, Glenn described what he was about to say as “the hardest thing” he has ever asked for. But as he shared troubling new information about the humanitarian crisis at the border, Glenn asked his listeners to consider donating to Mercury One.
I’m not going to tell you who is giving me this information because things down at the border are extraordinarily difficult and not what you are being told it is. The Administration – and I believe this also includes the progressives Republicans – are trying to keep the lid on the media right now. And the churches are the ones who are pulling people’s feet out of the fire. Our state reps now have gone and toured the facilities that are happening in Laredo, Brownsville, Van Horn, McAllen, and all across the border. This one particular facility that I want to talk to you about holds 400 people but currently it has 1,200 kids in it. Some of them are toddlers. 1,200. 400 is what the max capacity is.
Let me ask you: How fast would the federal government or the state shut you down if you had anything that said maximum capacity 400, and you had 1,200 people if there? Three times the amount. Is anybody seeing a problem with this? The federal government is breaking their own laws and they are keeping this information from us.
I am told by people who have toured and work at this facility that when they open the doors to go in, the stench is so bad the politicians that were to go in gagged and backed out. One of the churches is planning on converting their entire church, the largest in the area, to become a holding facility because of how bad things are. Things are so desperate right now, hygiene and food are the number one problem. Clothes are further down the list. They need portable showers and Port-A-Johns. They have no way to wash their clothes. They need food and hygiene care right now. Many of them have not eaten in days. FEMA is supposed to be down there. They are not down there.
Today, I want to appeal to you. I want you to just think about this, please. The two citizenships that we hold. We will destroy our country if we only recognize the citizenship that we have in our country. If the Constitution of the United States of America is our god, then we are lost already. Our God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Our God demands certain things from us. He demands us to see each other. He demands that we help each other. He demands that we help the child. We help the suffering. We are the Good Samaritan.
There are some who are going to say, ‘I’m not going to help the people. They came across the border.’ Well, okay, but they’re here now. They’re on our border. Yes, some of them may be MS-13. That’s a different argument. We can sort out who’s who after we take care of people. That’s for the government to do. I’m not talking about we’re going to send them into our cities.
That does it. I’m finished with Beck. Idiot.
I went into the bedroom a moment ago and, out of curiosity, turned on the radio to see what Beck was saying. He’s bawling because people are cancelling their memberships.
Good grief....what does he expect? First, the Bundy faux pas and now, this.
I unsubscribed from EVERYTHING Beck, after the Bundy *violence* blame game.
Why doesn’t Glenn just put his $$ - and the 3M Mercury One $$ - into getting these *chidren* showered, clothed, fed and SENT BACK to their homelands?
THAT would be the compassionate thing to do....for all.
EXACTLY. He brought this on himself.
As he was going to commercial, he said he would come back and talk about the need for compassion & and the rule of law.
Rule of law? Really, LOL?
The problem is the government is incapable of handling this crisis-even if they caused it.
This has to be dealt with for our own protection too.
We can't just leave people/children in overcrowded conditions, suffering from unknown diseases, with not enough toilets/showers/supplies exc..that's a recipe for a health disaster.
IMO Glenn Beck has done a tremendous amount of good for our country, especially with the efforts he has made to inform people of stories the MSM refuses to cover i.e. Marine imprisoned in Mexico, Justina Pelletiere, numerous candidates he has helped get elected by giving them coverage-Dave Brat and Ted Cruz come to mind.
He also was the first one to cover the M. E. Caliphate, which is happening now.
He does say and do some things that are controversial, (and sometimes I think he panics-Bundy ranch) but overall, he does a good job.
We need all the help we can get when it comes to media coverage.
Pajamajan, these people are about to be spread out among the states, and doctors are saying the diseases they carry will create a public health crisis. That’s in addition to the crushing burden they will place on the government benefits system.
People are fed up. Beck picked exactly the wrong time to go preachy and self-righteous.
Look, I don’t want anything bad to happen to the children, but they are not our responsibility. Their parents willingly gave them up in order to get a foot in the door here. Give the kids and everyone else bread and water and send them right back where they came from.
I’ll admit Beck has done some useful things, but he’s made an ass of himself just as many times, if not more. A lot of folks got turned off by his breathless, dramatic announcements of world-changing, earth-shattering revelations coming up IN JUST A FEW DAYS, never to materialize. They were sickened when he said he would side with GLAAD. It could be that he’s overstepped it this time.
He is perfectly free to liquidate his fortune, use it to buy food, water, clothes, etc., and give everything away to those invaders if it makes him feel better. But trying to tell us we all need to take care of them(which is what they COUNT ON and the reason they know they can get away with coming here) is just not going to go over well.
I read your recommendation of taking them to the consulate and I called my US rep. There is a guy in his smaller office that will actually talk to me for 15 minutes and when I gave him the idea of taking them to the embassies he LOVED it. he said that he would hang up from me and call the Washington office I said let’s hang up.
The way he put it was fly them to DC and take them to the embassies there. It would stop real quickly.
Please call your US rep with this and see if we can get this ball rolling. :)
And if you make them citizens, another 6 million illegals will come into the country
