GLENN BECK PROGRAM
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
BECK:
I said a year ago, Pat, and I don't know if you've
noticed it in the last four weeks, I said a year ago birth
pains. Condoleezza Rice said, I believe on this program, we
are seeing birth pains in the Middle East and I said at that
time, that word is, A, biblical in nature. It has a lot of
stuff on prophecy involved with it. But beyond that. It
implies we're giving birth -- there's an event at the end
and it also implies that things happen and start to happen
more and more rapidly and they get stronger. Have you
noticed, Pat, in the last four weeks how much some of the
stuff that was just theory, that you and I talked about a
year ago, two years ago, three years ago is now starting to
unfold and come out and it's all, boom, boom, boom, boom,
boom, one right after another?
GRAY: Uh-huh, yeah. I never would have believed that
President Bush would get behind the Law of the Sea Treaty. I
never would have believed in a million years that President
Bush would circumvent U.S. sovereignty by taking Texas to
court in this, you know, Jose Medellin case, this vicious
brutal rapist and killer that he's fighting the State of
Texas in international courts over it.
GLENN: Well, it's a lose-lose situation. If the President
loses, then -- I mean, it's a lose-lose situation if you're
a federalist. Then what it means is you've got a weak
federal government. You've got a government probably more in
line with what the founding fathers wanted that Texas and
all of the states have a right to say no to the federal
government. You go ahead and sign that little global warming
treaty; not for us.
GRAY: Right. Well, that's the way it should be.
GLENN: Yeah, I know it should be, but that's not -- if you
are somebody who believes in a strong federal government,
that is -- and he does, that's why he's fighting it as well.
If he loses, the federal government loses a lot of its power
in an unbelievable framework. If he wins, the Constitution
loses because now courts, out-of-country courts are above
our Supreme Court.
But let's talk about the Law of the Sea Treaty, which is so
frightening, it makes the Medellin case look like, you know,
nursery school.
GRAY: Yeah.
GLENN: This is -- and fill in any places here, Pat, where
I've got it wrong. This passed yesterday in committee in the
Senate and it's going to the full Senate for a vote, and
Bush will sign it. Unless Americans stand up and call their
senators right now, this thing is going to go -- this is
going to pass.
GRAY: It will become law. It will become part of the
Constitution.
GLENN: Constitution. It's not part of the law. It's
Constitution.
GRAY: Yes.
GLENN: If they sign this thing and ratify it. And what it is
is it gives power to the UN to control outline mineral
rights, all oceans, all air above the oceans. It creates
something called the Enterprise that if -- let's say Exxon
says I want to go drill for -- well, what's happening now?
China is going to drill in between Florida and Cuba. So
let's say we said we wanted to -- I know it's crazy. We
would never do this. We want to actually go look for oil
under the water and we would have to go to the UN and Exxon
would have to say to the Enterprise, we have two sites they
want to drill; we believe there's this amount of oil and
here's all of the research on it. The Enterprise says, okay,
let us look into it. They come back, come back, Exxon. They
come back to the Enterprise which is a UN organization and
the Enterprise says, great, you know what? You can have Site
A, we're going to take Site B and here's the added extra
bonus for you, Exxon. "You have to drill our site for us
using your money, your equipment and everything else and we
get everything that you take out."
GRAY: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And any dispute involving, let's
say the United States and Cuba or the United States and
China go to this new court system they are setting up for
the Law of the Sea Treaty and there's going to be, I think
22, 22 magistrates on it. We have no guarantee that we'll
even get one of those magistrates.
Now, in a dispute between the United States and Cuba or the
U.S. and China, who do you think the guys from Uganda and
Yemen are going to side with?
GLENN: Yeah.
GRAY: Certainly not us.
GLENN: This is the way they take our wealth from us.
GRAY: Yeah.
GLENN: Any ships that go across, they can levy fines, fees,
taxes. If you want to go ahead and fly in the air above
water, they can assign taxes, fees, and fines. This is the
first ever door that opens our Constitution up for the UN to
walk right in and tax the American people.
GRAY: You bet. Well, and this was written with keeping
nuclear submarines out of the water in mind. This was
written with the intent that the oceans would only be used
for peaceful purposes.
GLENN: Yeah.
GRAY: You could never use these for war. So, you know, being
a war machine, a nuclear sub can be kept out of the water
and the military says, oh, they won't enforce that. Uh-huh,
we're talking about the UN.
GLENN: Of course they will. Of course they will.
GRAY: Of course they will. Of course they will.
GLENN: You don't think Russia and China -- listen, I'm
telling you. Teach your kids how to speak Chinese because
they are going to rule the world within 50 years.
GRAY: Sooner than that.
GLENN: Well, if we don't wake up, it will be in the next
five years, for the love of Pete. It is amazing to me how
few people -- you know, I think one of the problems is --
and help me out on this, Pat. Maybe I'm giving them too much
of a bone. I've talked to senators and they are like, yeah,
well, I'm not really sure because the language has really
kind of changed. This is something that a lot of senators
are just kind of like going, well, I think it's okay, and
I've got the word from so-and-so and I'm -- in fact, let me
give you this. This came in from a listener. They sent it to
me. They wrote to Bob Casey, their senator, and they said,
do not sign the Law of the Sea Treaty. He said, thanks for
taking the time to contact me regarding the United Nations
convention on the Law of the Sea. I appreciate hearing from
all Pennsylvanians about matters of interest to them. He
goes into how it started an everything else. Some of my
constituents have reservations about the United States
ratifying the Law of the Sea Treaty and I take those
concerns seriously. As a member of the Senate foreign
relations committee, I pledge to study this issue carefully
and listen to my colleagues and legal experts before voting
to send the treaty to the full Senate for consideration.
Excuse me? How about listening to your constituents,
Senator?
GRAY: Yeah. Yeah. Do all U.S. senators have the same person
writing their responses to their constituents? Because that
sounds a lot like Kay Bailey Hutchison's responses to hers.
It's ridiculous! When in doubt, vote it out, especially
where the UN is concerned.
GLENN: When in doubt, how can you possibly be in doubt? How
can you be in doubt?
GRAY: But if you think the language has changed or if you've
heard maybe it's changed, vote against it! If there's any
doubt where the UN is concerned -- and there isn't, you're
right. But if you think there is, you vote against it.
GLENN: Yeah. I mean --
GREY: That's just good, decent American constitutional
thinking right there.
GLENN: Especially when it's a treaty.
GRAY: Yeah.
GLENN: It becomes the -- most people don't understand that.
It is -- it fuses with the Constitution.
GRAY: That's right.
GLENN: I mean, you don't go backwards. You know,
prohibition, it's a good idea. Oh, wow, that was a bad idea;
we should get out of it. Once a treaty is ratified and
signed, it fuses with the Constitution. It's really --
GRAY: People might think, we're the UN already, what's the
big deal. In this Law of the Sea Treaty, we're only one of
140 countries and unlike other UN issues, there's no
security council here. We don't have any permanent status,
any veto power at all. It's us against 140. How many of
those 140 are our friends? Maybe Britain? Maybe Israel? The
rest are going to be against us?
GLENN: Let me just leave it with what Ronald Reagan
believed, and he believed this is the first step into one
world government. This is it. This is it. And you know what?
They tried to get it through over and over and over again
and they keep trying to change the language to make it good.
It's not good. Get out. Do not sign the Law of the Sea
Treaty.
Pat, thanks, appreciate it.
