Unexpected warning: Glenn Beck's startling interview with Ken Paxton



Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is well aware of the challenges facing America, and after an unexpected exchange, he’s left Glenn Beck with some concerning insights to chew on.

“He didn’t give me calming advice,” Glenn tells Stu Burguiere, relaying that Paxton told him, “If you don’t have a rule of law, if you have a court system or a country that says you cannot protect your own people, then you don’t have a constitutional republic any more.”

“And we’re back to the Declaration of Independence and requiring people to stand up for it,” Glenn says.

“I walked away from that interview feeling as though that was a historic comment.”

That comment being that Texans are being told they’ll have to stand up for the Declaration of Independence.

“That shows we are way down the road, way down the road in unsafe territories,” Glenn says.

While both Glenn and Stu don’t believe that Paxton was forewarning of civil war, they are concerned by his comments.

“I don’t think Ken Paxton is calling for something like that,” Stu tells Glenn.

“He mentioned just standing up and fighting. Look, we all stand up, stand up every day to argue on behalf of the Declaration of Independence in the Constitution.”

However, Stu says, it’s “just a couple of people really standing in the way now of losing our republic.”

“The Constitution is hanging by a thread, and we’re in a scissors factory. And the guy rushing to save it is Edward Scissorhands,” Glenn says.

“We’re not really in a stable place.”

Legendary filmmaker Tim Burton: 'I think my days with Disney are done'



Legendary director Tim Burton, 64, may soon part ways with the film and entertainment company that made him a star.

Over the weekend, Burton was in France for the Lumière Film Festival in Lyon where he received a lifetime achievement award known as the Prix Lumière. Burton was selected to receive the award this year because of his storied career, which includes smash hits like "Beetlejuice," "Mars Attacks!", "Edward Scissorhands," "Big Fish," and his latest film, a live-action version of "Dumbo."

Upon receiving the award, Burton held a press conference where he discussed, among other topics, his strained relationship with Disney, which has recently focused almost exclusively on projects related to the Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar franchises.

"It’s gotten to be very homogenized, very consolidated," Burton claimed. "There’s less room for different types of things."

While Burton acknowledged that Disney gave him his first start in the film industry as an animation artist in the early 1980s, he said he is not sure that his current creative interests align with the general direction Disney has taken lately.

"My history is that I started out there. I was hired and fired like several times throughout my career there," Burton said.

But he said he would pass on the opportunity to direct a Marvel film.

"I can only deal with one universe," he added. "l can’t deal with a multi-universe."

Because he no longer feels like he fits in at Disney, Burton also admitted that his work on the live-action adaptation of "Dumbo" for Disney hit very close to home.

"The thing about ‘Dumbo’ is that’s why I think my days with Disney are done," he continued. "I realized that I was ‘Dumbo,’ that I was working in this horrible big circus and I needed to escape. That movie is quite autobiographical at a certain level."

In addition to his discussion of Disney, Burton also mentioned that he rarely watches his films.

"I don’t really watch my movies. It was strange seeing the clips [at the festival]," he said. "I got quite emotional. It feels like each film you do is part of your life and is very deep and meaningful so it’s like watching your life flashing before your eyes – that’s why I likened it to a funeral in a way, in a beautiful way, it captures moments of your life."

Right now, Burton is putting the finishing touches on a spinoff series of "The Addams Family" entitled "Wednesday," due out on Netflix in late November. Though born and raised in Burbank, California, Burton has lived in London for many years.
