Glenn Beck opened his television program last night by warning his audience that yesterday’s significant stock market decline was simply a foretaste of what we can expect to see when the massive global “correction” that he has been predicting for years finally hits.

“If we continue to follow progressive principles and, quite honestly, Common Core math,” Beck warned, “we will repeat the same mistakes we made in the 1930s and the 1940s and the world will follow with fascism, communism, war, and hunger. It’s going to happen, gang.”

“You and I have been made fun of relentlessly for advising our friends to prepare,” he continued. “Believe me, no one will be laughing when the chickens come home to roost … It is not a matter of if; it is truly a matter of when. Are you prepared? Do you have food on hand? Do you have cash on hand? Do you have ammunition and guns and God, most importantly?”
