Glenn Beck Reveals a Story He Hasn’t Been Able to Share for
Over a Year

Glenn
Beck shared a story with viewers on Wednesday that he’s been keeping close to the
vest since before the 2012 election, explaining that he’s been waiting for the
right time to say what exactly happened, and what it means for the country.
It
all began, Beck said, in what he believes was late August when he was getting
ready to do a number of events with FreedomWorks.
“It’s
about 4:00 in the afternoon and I get a call from the president of
FreedomWorks, Matt Kibbe, and I can hear the distress in his voice,” Beck said.
“[Kibbe said], ‘Glenn, I’ve just been escorted out of my office by armed guards
and told not to come back.’”
Kibbe
added that he wasn’t the only one forcefully escorted out, and that they had
been hijacked, so to speak, by the “old guard” GOP establishment.
“There
was a coup during the election, and it was powerful,”
Beck said. “They were trying to get rid of the libertarian, Tea Party-minded
power players, and first and foremost on that hit list was Matt Kibbe and his
allies. They didn’t like the fact that FreedomWorks was cleaning house in the
GOP…that they were targeting people like Orrin Hatch. It didn’t sit well with
the Karl Roves of the GOP world…”

Beck
said that shortly thereafter he got a call from the man inside FreedomWorks who
had “ordered the hit,” who explained how the whole situation was “really good”
because now he was the face of FreedomWorks and people trust him.
“His
face never saw the light of day on my program,” Beck said. “I hung up the phone
with him, the next day I called board members of FreedomWorks…and we said we
support the libertarian voice, and if you allow this coup to sit, we’re done
and we’ll expose it.”
“It
wasn’t even a week later the board took a vote and decided to reinstate Matt
Kibbe as president,” Beck said. “Put in the half of the staff – all the
libertarians that had been escorted out – reinstated all of them, and then
escorted the leader of this coup and his cronies out the door for good.”
Beck
spoke about the ramifications of the move for the 2012 election, and said now
is the right time to share the story because “the exact same thing, the same people really, are doing
this now in the GOP.”
“Anyone
in Congress or the Senate who associates with FreedomWorks, the Senate
Conservatives Fund, the Tea Party, anybody,
anybody is being targeted by the same class of establishment
Republican progressives,” Beck said. “They do not like it when you organize.
They do not like it when you choose the candidates that you actually want.”
Beck
said it’s the same reason why lawmakers are not truly pursuing the persecution
by the IRS, because progressives on both sides “want that tool in place…to come
after people like you.”
“This
has never been about left and right,” Beck said. “This is about freedom, freedom, and tyranny.”
Beck
has said multiple times that he has no desire to see a third party, and
reminded how the Republican Party began.
“Before
the GOP was in existence, it was a two party system – the Democrats and the
Whigs,” Beck said, noting that many Whigs and a fair number of Democrats were
frustrated that both parties were offering much of the same.
“Charles
Sumner was one of the most hated people by the Whigs and the Democrats…so much
that he was literally beaten within an inch of his life on the House floor
because no one stepped in to stop it,” Beck continued. “Within four years,
Sumner wasn’t the most hated anymore — he was the most beloved man in the Republican Party, and the
Whigs were extinct. I’m telling you that’s what’s coming if we stand.”

Beck said
men like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul may be the “Charles Sumner” of today,
and he has no doubt that someday soon they will be “the most beloved members of
the new Republican Party…”
