Glenn’s POWERFUL Memorial Day message: ‘The BEST OF US ALL’



While many use Memorial Day weekend to hit the beach, throw parties, and enjoy the warming weather, Glenn Beck is here to remind us all that Memorial Day means something a lot different for families all over the country.

“I hope that you’ve never experienced the story I’m about to tell you,” Glenn says, “but I also know there are thousands that have.”

He asks that his audience imagine the story from a first-person point of view.

“Your son has been in the United States Marine Corps for what seems like forever now. Only you and those that have their children deployed into a war zone know just why it seems like forever,” Glenn continues.

“What you don’t know yet is the most precious thing you hold dear — your son — just fell in combat 60 seconds ago. Military protocol is exact, and as you’re busy carrying out your day, this is what’s happening behind the scenes.”

First, Glenn explains, there will be a death notification that has to be executed within eight hours.

Officers will then deliver the notification to the next of kin. Three individuals will typically be chosen to arrive at your home. One will be an officer at least one rank higher than the deceased, one will be a chaplain, and one will be someone capable of delivering medical help should the next of kin pass out.

“This is Memorial Day weekend,” Glenn says.

“Two years after 9/11, 312 parents experienced what I just described in 2003 alone. In 2007, 847 military men and women died in combat. In 2008; 352. In 2009; 346. And the list and the numbers go on and on. And our Gold Star families have suffered every single tragedy.”

Glenn admits that he’s not trying to be a downer, but it’s important to remember what Memorial Day stands for.

“There is a sacredness to Memorial Day that most of us just cannot understand,” Glenn continues, “Memorial Day is for reverence and honoring those who sacrificed everything to ensure the American way of life endures forever.”

Tucker Carlson’s POWERFUL message after leaving Fox News



Tucker Carlson has broken his silence.

Earlier this week, it was announced that the host of the most popular show on cable news was leaving Fox News.

Carlson posted a video to his Twitter account and left fans with an inspiring and honest message.

He explains that many of the debates we watch on television are about trivial matters, while the ones we don’t see are not.

“The undeniably big topics — the ones that will define our future — get virtually no discussion at all. War, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources. When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues?”

“Debates like that are not permitted in American media,” Carlson says.

He says that because of this, America “looks like a one-party state.”

While Carlson admits this is a “depressing realization,” he does not think all hope is lost. He says, “It’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain-dead. Nobody actually believes them. Hardly anyone’s life is improved by them. This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t.”

Those who are leading America down this dark path are realizing Americans are waking up to what the real issues are, which is why they’ve become “hysterical and aggressive,” Carlson says.

But he believes it won’t work in their favor.

“When honest people say what’s true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe. True things prevail.”

While many wonder what’s next for Tucker, Glenn Beck has his own theory.

“You see what he’s setting up here. He’s setting up a different kind of show. A show where he takes big issues and debates them. That’s where he’s headed.”
