Popular talk-show host Glenn Beck announced Thursday on his show that he no longer supports an Article V convention to amend the Constitution.
“I have been a supporter of the Article V Convention of States. I’ve been a pretty big supporter, vocal supporter. I’m reversing that today,” he said during the episode titled “Media Praises Biden for Solving a Problem He Created.” The segment starts at 1:37:00.
Convention of States, the leading organization to lobby for this dangerous ploy — a group members of The John Birch Society have encountered in state legislatures across the nation and have recently defeated in Ohio, Iowa, Utah, and South Dakota — has benefited from Beck’s prior support.
The JBS, the parent organization of The New American magazine, has not only long opposed calling a modern-day constitutional convention (Con-Con), but also has played a major role in preventing such a convention from coming about. In his remarks, Beck echoed as a reason for his reversal a major JBS talking point — that we are in no position as a populace to open up that brilliant governing document.
“We are not the people to open up this sacred document. We are not the people — that was a God-inspired document,” Beck said. “I withdraw my support. And I’m sorry to say that, but I withdraw my support.… This Constitution is wholly inadequate for anyone other than a religious and moral people. We are not those people.”
This comes on the heels of Dr. Robert Malone sharing with his large Substack audience an article by JBS Research Project Manager Christian Gomez on the dangers of a Con-Con. That got COS’s attention, as they quickly fired off two posts on their website to contain the damage.
Please listen to the 9/15 Glenn Beck episode; the Con-Con segment begins at 1:37:00.
Editor’s note: The New American will be publishing another, more detailed, article on this subject tomorrow.
