Drone Strikes on U.S. Soil? Glenn Beck Weighs In

While it may seem a work of fiction, or the plot of a conspiracy-theory-centered movie, Tuesday morning, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) revealed on Glenn Beck’s radio program that he had troubling information about the U.S. drone program and whether or not the president could order a strike against an American on U.S. soil.

TheBlaze obtained letters that were sent to the senator by Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama’s chief counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan, with several paragraphs raising an alarm.

“Were such an emergency to arise, I would examine the particular facts and circumstances before advising the President on the scope of his authority,” he added.

Needless, to say Holder's response is unsettling to many Americans to say the least and Glenn Beck is no exception. He took time out on Tuesday evening to discuss this breaking news:
