Glenn Beck addressed the incomprehensibly tragic mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, on the radio program Wednesday, saying it’s time to stop with the politics, from both sides, and focus on healing a nation that is tearing itself apart.
“It pains me to think about the political garbage that has happened in the last 12 hours,” Glenn began. “I believe that we are on the verge of losing our nation, and the reason why we’re about to lose our nation is the same reason some kid walked into an elementary school and shot and killed people. It’s not the guns … it’s our society.”
Glenn called the tragedies plaguing our nation’ —kids shooting kids, committing suicide, dying from fentanyl, joining gangs, and suffering from depression and loneliness — are symptoms of a greater sickness.
“Where’s the value of human life? The hatred that is being poured down our throats, the class division, the racism — make no mistake, it is intentional,” he stated. “The best way to destroy a nation is to cut it apart. … In our society, where are the ethics? What are ethics? It’s your truth versus my truth. There is no absolute truth. And in a world where there is no truth, who gets to be God? Well, it depends on which group you’re in I guess.”
Glenn said America’s underlying problem is “a rotting in our soul” and until we “live in a nation that is willing to even recognize that there is something bigger than the self, and it has nothing to do with government, we’ll never fix this problem.”
“Let’s not make this about Democrats and Republicans. Let’s just make this about what the hell is going on because everything in our society is falling apart,” he said. “And until you’re willing to have that conversation, the rest of it is bullcrap.”
