Pentagon to deploy 20,000 troops inside the U.S. for domestic security
Glenn Beck: 20,000 troops to deploy…in America?
GLENN: You know, I was going to talk a little bit about India and Pakistan but I want to change because there’s a breaking headline now on Drudge. While the rest of the world is going to pay attention today to Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton and they are going to make this the big story, the big story today, at least for those people that are following the world, should be Pentagon to deploy 20,000 troops inside the U.S. for domestic security. I told you this story two months ago? Was it two months ago, Joe, when I first found this story. And I said on the air this cannot be true. It can’t be true. The only source I could find on that day was in Stars and Stripes and I knew that Stars and Stripes wasn’t going to print something about the troops that wasn’t true, and I brought that story to you. Now, these guys are being deployed for security for chemical, biological, terrorist activity, natural disaster. But this is what the National Guard is for. The reason why our founding fathers said there would be no standing army is because the federal government has no place in your town. The power to order troops, the power to be able to have people with weapons in your neighborhood must not ever be in the hands of the President or the congress. It must be in the hand of the individual governors. Our founders knew this. 20,000—this is a battalion. This is something entirely new.
Now let me ask you this question: Why? They are going to give you all kinds of stories. If anybody really rises up and says anything, if anybody in the media is anything but mindless sheep, they will see exactly what this is but they’ll—I’m sure. I mean, they will go after, you know, they will go after the most ridiculous stories on the planet but when it really comes down to it, they seem to not understand. They seem just to buy the government’s excuses on so many things.
