From the July 27 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' Glenn Beck Program:
BECK: And let me tell you something. This ties directly into--this is a) community organizing. These are thugs. We are creating a thugocracy. And mark my words, if you don't stand up now, you will run out of time. They will gather strength and you will not be able to stand against them.
There's a couple things that come to mind on this. One, they're gathering strength and they're going inside our government. Their chief organizer is the president of the United States. SEIU is part of ACORN. ACORN and SEIU -- stop separating them in your head. They are the same group of people. SEIU is the one that is pushing health care through. They're the ones that met with the drug companies. They're the ones -- these are the people that are strong-arming. When Wal-Mart decides to meet and decide on whether or not they're for health care, who meets with them? SEIU. These people are thugs.
Please don't let this message fall on deaf ears. Please. I fear that there will come a time when I cannot say things that I am currently saying. I fear that it will come to television and to radio, and I will stop saying these things. Understand me clearly. Hear me now. If I ever stop saying these things, you will know why. Because I will have made a choice that I can only say certain things, and I haven't lost all of the rights. But know that these things are true. And if you hear me stop saying these things, it's because I can no longer say them to you. But hear them between the sentences. Hear them, please. I will be screaming them to you.
