Who is the ally working with socialists? So many socialists aligned with Obama to choose from, and so little time - but Richard Trumka is the latest in a seemingly endless line of socialist radicals working for and with this President. Trumka is the President of the AFL-CIO and he's also an advocate for a global tax. Lovely.
It's interesting to see those caught up in the left vs. right game completely miss when it's about right and wrong. People are actually lining up to bash Albert Pujols for accepting an award earned for putting God, family and charity at the center of his life. Controversial, right? Glenn talks about those who are now getting heat for appearing on stage last weekend, and the courage they have shown.
Once again, the left has caught Glenn in a lie! This is the sort of desperation now spewing out from the left -- during the 8/28 event, Glenn mentioned that he had held some original documents from our Founding Fathers while visiting the National Archive. The left threw a fit saying that Glenn was lying because holding the documents is not allowed. Another distraction from the message, nevertheless Glenn responds on radio today.
Out of all the media attempts to peg what the 8/28 event was all about, virtually none got it right. An unknown blogger wrote a short post that put the entire MSM to shame. And the message of 8/28 was not exactly rocket science, so how the MSM missed it is anyone's guess. Glenn read the blog that hit the nail on the head on radio today.

Glenn has a to-do list for each and every person to take on leading up to the August 28th Restoring Honor Rally in Washington DC.
This time the radical is in the Department of Labor and her name is Dolores Huerta. She is a legend in the labor movement, has praised Hugo Chavez and Cuba - and has even said Republicans "hate latinos" to an audience of school children. She has also denounced capitalism and says the suitable alternative is, of course - socialism! Your taxpayer dollars are paying her salary. Glenn has more on radio today.
As the President hands security over to the Iraqi people, he just cannot bring himself to say anything nice about President Bush. Something like 'the surge that I opposed actually worked' would be nice, but it's not happening. Glenn plays the audio of Obama then and Obama now on the surge.
Glenn talks with a gentleman whose eyes were opened to the lies he was telling himself. One thing in particualr, leading up to the 8/28 Restoring Honor Event, jumped out at the caller -find out what it was by listening to the conversation from radio today.
Ed Schultz apparently has some serious audience envy, because he's now puffing his chest and saying he could also draw half a million people to the mall in DC. Perhaps Ed should try getting that many people to turn on the TV in their homes, on their couch -- before he attempts to make them get up off the couch and hear him speak about how people can't make it without government help.
8/28 Photos and the 9.12 montage
Thank you to the thousands of people who attended the Restoring Honor event that took place on August 28 in Washington DC. We have selected about 100 photos from the thousands that were sent in by fans, take a look...

Glenn reads part of the amazing (and true) Wall Street Journal article that proclaims the man with the microphone may have been the craziest person out of the 500,000 in attendance. Quite an impressive feat to have that many people in one place and have zero incidents. Glenn has the story on radio today.
As if Glenn doesn't have enough on his plate, he thought it'd be a good idea to pick up the slack for the mainstream media and start a brand new media platform. The latest is The Blaze (theblaze.com), a site for news and opinion that's dedicated to covering the all the big stories, and the stories the MSM are neglecting, spinning or not understanding.
The Reverend Al Sharpton. Al has been spending a lot of time in recent days saying that Glenn is distorting Martin Luther King's dream. That's interesting, because 10 years ago on the anniversary of the 'I have a dream' speech, Sharpton made an appearance. At the Lincoln Memorial. With the black panthers. What was his dream? Hint: it involves caskets and cops. Glenn has more on radio today.

Nationally syndicated cartoonist Rob Smith Jr. chimes with his latest Glenn Beck exclusive.
Where I saw hope, the media saw a 'pit of hatred'
As if Glenn doesn't have enough on his plate, he thought it'd be a good idea to pick up the slack for the mainstream media and start a brand new media platform. The latest is The Blaze...
The media seems to be having a hard time understanding that the Restoring Honor event was actually about Restoring Honor and not a GOP election booster. Since the media completely missed the mark on the meaning of the event, Glenn recaps what it is each and every individual should be doing in their own lives to help start turning the country around.
Glenn reads the review from the New York Times, and surprisingly it's not half bad. While much of the media miss the mark completely, the Times hit at least a few nails on the head in regards to Saturdays Restoring Honor event. How does America's 'paper of record' view Saturday in DC? Find out on radio today.
From 'tens of thousands' to CBS and their '87,000' number, the media bent over backwards to describe Saturday's sea of humanity on the mall in an unflattering manner.
Since they cannot win the debate, progressives are desperate to get Glenn off the air any way they can think of. They are getting so desperate, in fact, that a former Air America editor (and blogger in the Presidents news source of choice: The Huffington Post) has resorted to offering $100,000 for a Glenn Beck sex tape, or 'anything' that will get him off the air. Glenn responds to this insidious attack on radio today.

Join Glenn Beck for an inspiring look at the role faith played in the founding of America and the role it will play again in its destiny.
There is a lot going on this week, so to help you out we've created a list of links so you can more easily keep track of what is happening on GlennBeck.com as we lead up to 8/28...
Glenn walked the memorial site last night and was amazed at how many people were down there already. How many people actually show up for the event is anyone's guess, but people are making predictions. Glenn talks about he possible crowds and the past largest crowds at the Lincoln Memorial on radio today.
If you want to see a prime example of how the news networks operate, look no further than ABC and the 'journalism' of Claire Shipman. This week she demonstrated why no one trusts the media by filing another report on the 8/28 Restoring Honor event that is nothing more than propaganda.
Glenn talks a little about the meaning of tomorrow's event at the Lincoln Memorial. Some people (mostly the media) are a little confused and think it's a Tea Party rally or election rally. What is happening tomorrow is much bigger than any one single person, and certainly bigger than one event. Glenn has more on radio today.
On radio today Glenn interviewed the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Alveda King. She will be speaking at the 8/28 event and incredibly has been taking all kinds of heat for participating. Glenn and Alveda talk about why it is important for her to be there, what she has faced in the past and what she is facing today.

Welcome to the Glennbeck.com Producers’ blog. For the entire week leading up to the Restoring Honor rally on 8-28, Glenn's producers will be 3 steps behind him bringing you all the latest behind the scenes action from Washington, D.C.
Early riser? Join Glenn every morning at 7:05 am ET. Flip on the computer and allow Glenn to join your early morning routine with the new daily spiritual thought featuring rotating guests. Available live and on-demand...
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Kennedy Center. It’s incredible to see. At this point, there are already enough people in line that tickets for the 8/27 event are no longer available
Be sure to log on to Insider Extreme tonight - and every night this week - at 8pm EST for Glenn's Primetime Special segments from DC.
What does the media organ funded by your tax dollars have to say about the 8/28 Restoring Honor Rally on Saturday? They set the bar high - they think there is a chance it won't turn into a 'pit of hatred' like during the healthcare debates. Good to see NPR back in good form.
It must be more Christian than science, because they have an article this week attacking Glenn because he 'stuck' Obama with the liberation theology label. Ummm, no, that was Obama's church website that 'stuck' the label to him, because that's what they believe in. Barack Obama himself has said collective salvation is what he believes, and that's not Christian. Standing by for the first issue of the 'Science' monitor... Glenn has more on radio today
Senator Max Baucus was asked this week if he himself had read the entire healthcare bill, to which he responded flatly 'no' while adding that they hire experts for that sort of thing. So it should come as no surprise that we are now seeing surprises popping up from the healthcare bill. Glenn has more on radio today.
Host Ed Schultz, who constantly calls Glenn a hateful person and rips people on the right in general for being evil and mean, reportedly went on an office tirade recently...
We live in a world filled with differing and often very divergent opinions. This is as they say “what makes the world go round”. When taken as a whole, these varied views of life can offer us a buffet of choices, a myriad of options and even a plethora of vistas from which to view and experience life.

Does the vice president really think we're heading in the 'right direction'?
He must be, because yesterday he said the economy is on the right track. The economic news of the day (week and year for that matter) seem to strongly suggest otherwise. Glenn goes through the news that Biden apparently didn't read on radio today.
Leading up to the Martin Luther King 'I have a dream' speech, what were the media saying about the event? Interesting to see the predictions, especially considering the desparaging remarks coming from the media about the 8/28 event this Saturday.
Glenn will be speaking at the foot of the Lincoln memorial, and today he pulled out some of the words from the famed President to read on radio. What does Glenn draw from the man who wrote perhaps the most famous speech in the history of America? Glenn has his thoughts on Lincoln's words today.
Despite America's great diversity, nothing unifies Americans more than their support for public acknowledgments of God.
Aug. 24, 2010
It's all coming together, will you be there?
What's Glenn thinking about in the days leading up to the 8/28 Restoring Honor event?
All Glenn is asking before the Ground Zero mosque is built is that we look a little further into the people who are building it. What do they believe? Why Ground Zero? We learned a little more about the GZ imam from comments he made in a 2005 speech where he stated that America is worse than Al Qaeda.
Just when you thought Americans all across the country have woken up to the real problems we are facing - San Francisco reminds us there is much work to do. The citizens there have galvanized support for a topless equality rally. Glenn has more on radio today.

China's nine-day traffic jam stretches 62miles
Is the Obama administration fundamentally transforming our relationship with Israel?
As the Restoring Honor event closes in, Glenn arrives in Washington D.C. to broadcast for the entire week. As the buzz for the event increases, so do the ridiculous claims coming from opponents. Glenn addresses some of the worst - including that he is hijacking Martin Luther King's message.
Trying to claim that Glenn had previously endorsed the Imam who is heading up the Ground Zero Mosque -- the Huffington post used one of the most pathetic arguments of all time. Check out what the Presidents favorite 'news' source has to say...
This time he talks about the health of the Democratic party. Glenn has the audio on radio today.

LA Unveils $578M School, Costliest in the Nation

There is a new Gallup poll out that shows 24% of people believe Barack Obama is a Muslim. Much of this stems from the fact that his faith background is confusing and he hasn't said a whole lot other than he went to Jeremiah Wright's crazy church. Check out this revealing interview from 2004 - then State Senator Barack Obama talked about his faith. Is this Christianity? Glenn reports, you decide.
A memo was released that shows the game plan for Democrats on how they will defend the passage of Obama's massive healthcare plan. It's a telling look at how even the left realizes this bill is a heaping mess -- check out the entire plan HERE and listen to Glenn's reaction to it on radio today.
Glenn and 'workout' are kind of like oil and water - they do not mix. But something (mirror) has convinced Glenn that it was time to break his non-workout streak (which has stood since 1991). How does Glenn and the years of flab he's built up in the last 19 years withstand a workout instructed by a former Marine?
An article caught Glenn's eye this week, it mentioned that much of what Glenn has done leading up to the 8/28 Restoring Honor event was inspired by Al Sharpton. Part of that is true - what part? Glenn explains that and more on radio today.

How did slavery in America start?
Just in case you thought that 'Anchorman' was strictly a fictitious tale - try watching Rick Sanchez on CNN a couple of times a week if you can stomach it. Rick thinks Hawaii is a 'long word' and volcanoes can't erupt in cold places. Now you can add Ali Velshi to the 'Anchorman' list. Why?...
Obama's poll numbers have been hitting new lows (41%), but what the mainstream media is failing to report is that there is one area where the President is falling that he just can't afford to: Hispanics. Oh, and 24% believe that the President is really a Muslim and not Christian. Glenn has the rest of the numbers.
In a bizarre story, Maureen Dowd, who trashed President Bush for 8 years as being the dumbest man on the planet - is suddenly pining for a return of George W. Bush. She wants him to speak up about the Ground Zero Mosque, which is bizarre considering she just called him a racist for the better part of a decade. Glenn has the story on radio today.
Harry Reid has now come out and said that the GOP has lost sanity by calling for a hearing on birthright citizenship. Ummm, pot meet kettle, kettle - pot. Harry's sanity to a long walk off a short pier quite some time ago, but that hasn't stopped him from talking. Glenn has more on the story on radio today.

Has America strayed from our Founders' vision?
Al Gore is upset - and not just because his 'inner chakra' pick up line has been outed - but because Congress hasn't passed anything on Climate Change! He wants people to take to the streets. Apparently old Al isn't satisfied with the hundreds of millions of dollars he's making of the climate hoax - he wants government to pass Cap and Trade legislation, which would net him billions. Glenn has more on radio today.
Nancy Pelosi just cannot understand how people would question the wisdom in building a mosque next door to the Ground Zero site. In fact, she's taking it a step further by demanding an investigation into those who oppose the mosque. So, she won't investigate the possible radical who would run Cordoba, but she's willing to go after YOU?
Glenn was just a tad disturbed at the story he read about the Google CEO who said that there is so much information on people on the internet, especially our youth, that they will have to change their names as adults to avoid past mistakes in life. First of all - how about trying to NOT make mistakes? And if we do, live with the consequences. The answer is to change identity?

Russia claims that America is using some sort of a climate change weapon, that we apparently have hidden deep in the wilderness of Alaska. If we had a climate change weapon based in Alaska, wouldn't they turn up the heat a little bit? Glenn has more on radio today about Russia's paranoia.
Keith Olbermann turned on his manufactured outrage this week and put on a community-theater-worthy performance on the topic of the Ground Zero mosque...
The latest attack on Glenn coming from the left is that he's crazy because he talks to God. This is an interesting line of attack to take, because basically they are calling any person of faith who prays CRAZY. Glenn explains what the (apparently) Godless critics are missing.

Are storm clouds gathering for stock market crash?
Donations of all shapes and sizes have flooded in to help the SOWF and it's been incredible to see. But one donation in particular showed what this rally is all about. Glenn received an envelope with a mere 8 pennies in it. How could this donation mean more than any other?
The President took an unnecessary plunge in to the Ground Zero mosque debate, stating that he was all for the controversial placement of the Mosque. The President, who once bemoaned the Constitution as a charter of negative liberties, suddenly is clinging to the Constitution and it's freedom of religion principle. BUT, he wouldn't get into the 'wisdom' of the decision. Gee, Barry, thanks for nothing. Glenn has more on radio today.
Rumors are flying as to why the West Wing at the White House has a giant tarp hanging over it. As of yet, no one has explained what is going on behind the scenes, but Glenn maintains that there is someone who does know: The Bees. Glenn speculates on the possible reasons for the West Wing tarp on radio today.

Mr President, Glenn Beck awaits your call...
Aug. 13, 2010
We want to make it as easy as possible for anyone coming to the rally to find a bus, so we're organizing a list of AVAILABLE buses by state and zip code.
The left constantly calls Glenn a conspiracy theorist but now the President has turned around and questioned the group Americans for Prosperity because you just don't know who that really is...
President Obama said he's not that far removed from what the average American is going through today. How true it is - most Americans are taking so many vacations that it's hard to keep track. They are so tired of vacation that they are taking vacation from the vacations. Glenn talks about the latest vacation on radio today.
Since unemployment is still 9.6%, $165 billion was added to the deficit in one month, and President Obama is still celebrating a 'recovery summer' - Glenn figured it was time for a few laughs. Glenn talks with impressionist extraordinaire Frank Caliendo on radio today.

Video: Obama's claim that the worst is over flies in the face of economic reality.
Glenn and Bill had an interesting exchange on their weekly TV segment last night, which may surprise the left that Bill does more than just lob cupcake questions to those generally on the same side of the political aisle...
You aren't getting the truth from the media or those in and around the President - and even the President in some cases. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, for example, went on TV and tried to push the notion that their is no deficit problem, even though we just added $165 billion to the deficit last month alone. Glenn has that and comments from Valerie Jarrett and Alan Grayson.
The Drudge Report is a must read for any person serious about finding out what is going on in the world. Finger is always right on the pulse of what Americans care about - so it was particularly shocking to Glenn as he browsed through the Drudge front page today and saw stories that were all disturbing in their own respect. But when they are tied together it's much, much worse.
The Center for American Progress is a progressive organization that loves big government, so it was a surprise to see that they actually had a section devoted to finding areas in education that could actually be cut. But, their motive becomes apparent when the list of cuts are revealed. 'Niche' programs on outdated topics like 'The United States Constitution' and 'American History' are on the chopping block. Gee, why wouldn't progressives be in favor of those?
Glenn Beck enters the No Spin Zone and explains why he doesn’t focus on topics like gay marriage and abortion, plus Calvin Coolidge talk...

As seen on TV: Real Time US Debt Clock
Government has completely lost touch with common sense.
$26.1 billion dollars this time to (allegedly) save teachers jobs all across America - a bill that came at the expense of cutting food stamps. Glenn wonders what the political strategy is on this bill, considering Gibbs came out yesterday and took a jab at the far left - the same day they cut food stamps.
Redeye host Greg Gutfeld has come up with a brilliant plan to help illustrate the ridiculousness of the Ground Zero mosque that's in the works: a gay Muslim bar next to the new mosque. You know, to help build tolerance for the gay community amongst anti-gay Muslims. Glenn's fave finalist for the name of Gutfelds gay bar: You Mecca me Hot.
Once thought a quality source of news is now seemingly dumpster diving for stories, as evidenced by headlines like 'Primary night yields good news for Obama, Dems' making the cut. Of course it was a good night for democrats - in the democratic primaries. Politico has not reported it, but rumor has it that republicans had a decent night as well. Glenn has the latest in the political news of the day.
Move over, Joe Dimaggio, there's a new streak in town - Harry Reid's consecutive idiocy streak is still going strong. Night in and night out, Reid consistently says stupid things, leaving no doubt he is the idiot of idiots. The latest: Reid says "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, okay. Do I need to say more?" No Harry, you don't. The defense rests.

What did our Founders truly intend for our system of government?
The media love citing a poll that says 41% of Republicans are birthers. The Washington Post even (baselessly) smeared Glenn by calling him a birther even though he's repeatedly denounced birthers. What happens when the media does their job and reports the truth?
Christina Romer was one of the geniuses behind the stimulus, and the one responsible for the projections that said if the stimulus passed we'd never go over 8% unemployment. She's stepped down. Heads are starting to roll, but does that mean this administration finally owns this miserable economy?
The White House tweeted yesterday boasting about how much of the oil has been cleaned up. And they are right - a lot of the oil has been skimmed and a lot of the oil is naturally degrading in various ways. That’s so weird - Mother Nature is 'doing her job' as Carol Browner said. Is it possible Mother Nature could also fix the CO2 'problem'?

Glenn's take on Obamacare website and to Stephan King calling him a 'nut'
Teachers of America, worry no more. Nancy Pelosi is galloping back into Washington on her white horse to save the day!
The famous manifesto that gave the weathermen their name
Glenn dives deep into Barack Obama's sordid childhood. Since the media won't bother to look into what his parents did and what they believed, Glenn has been reading Dreams from My Father and learning even more stunning things about why Obama believes as he does.
The man is becoming a living legend, and if you haven't heard of him yet it's time you became acquainted with the candid for a 'more freer' country, Basil Marceaux.

The people spoke in Missouri on Tuesday, voting overwhelmingly to reject Obama's mandate that forces people to buy health insurance. It's going to be fun to watch the White House explain this one.
Read the article as heard on TV...
Battleground state Missouri held a vote yesterday on Obama's health insurance mandate, and the results were stunning. Obamacare went down in a blaze of glory, by the slim margin of 71% - 29%. Plus, 59% of Americans want a complete repeal of Obama's healthcare plan. Will that stop Washington? Glenn has more on radio today.
84% of Americans don't like the way things are looking - but what's even more disturbing is the fact that 67% of the political class - that's your politicians - think everything is going just fine. How can the politicians be THIS clueless? Glenn has more on radio today.
Remember a few weeks ago when Nancy Pelosi suddenly sounded like a televangelist as she talked about 'the Word became flesh' and we should turn to God on our public policies? A reporter asked her a little bit about her faith, and what came out of Pelosi's mouth next was incomprehensible on several levels. Glenn has the audio on radio today.
President Obama had to know this was going to come out sooner or later. How are your tax dollars 'saving' the American economy? Oh, let us count the ways. How about $90,000 for a new sidewalk to replace a five year old sidewalk, that leads to a ditch? Or $50 million for WNBA practice facilities? It gets worse. Glenn has more on radio today...

The Huffington Post finally decided it's high time to figure out why it is that people actually like Sarah Palin. Could it be her solid conservative views? Her charming style? Her common man status? Nope. Huffpo really digs deep to get the answer - Glenn has the answer on radio today.
It's been well documented that this President seems to have a special ability to attract flies, rodents and bees. We've all seen the creepy footage of the President not even flinching as a fly lands on his face. Glenn talked about it at the last Bold Fresh tour stop...

Monster hailstone is the biggest on record in U.S.

Rangel, Waters, and ethics violations are piling up despite Nancy Pelosi's promise to drain the swamp.

The media doesn't seem interested in telling the complete truth - these protesters have an agenda and are being bussed in from all around the country. A solid majority of Americans back the Arizona Immigration law, but the MSM just can't seem to put two and two together on that one.
John Kerry did his best to get people to stop talking about his boating tax dodge from last week, and did it the way Dems know best: blaming Bush. Mr. 'stuck in 2004' Kerry explained that people are being unfair by not implicating Bush in excessive spending, which is ridiculous because most prominent conservatives railed against Bush when he 'abandoned free market principles' in order to save the free market. Glenn corrects Kerry and explains what is heading our way economically.
Beware of what your kids are reading - even a seemingly harmless kids book is riddled with progressive propaganda. This one, titled 'Who is Barack Obama?' will make your eyes bleed it's so ridiculous. Also found in the youth section?

Despite this alarming statistic, this administration is still grabbing power whenever it can. Nearly three quarters of Americans now say that the government has too much power. It's an alarming trend, especially considering most of the power is in the hands of a couple people - one of those being 'the most dangerous man in America' Cass Sunstein. Glenn has details on the power surge on radio today.
The media bashed George W. Bush for a relatively extravagant wedding for his daughter Jenna, but they seem to be quite excited for the wedding of Chelsea Clinton. This time they don't seem to mind that the Clintons are spending $500,000 on flowers and $3.2 million overall. Sounds like someone has 'windfall profits' that should be confiscated, to use the words of Hillary Clinton.
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs tried to attack Rush Limbaugh yesterday saying that he wanted to abandon GM, while the government saved the day. That's an interesting case to make considering Obama was the one who shut down profitable GM dealers for no reason. Gibbs tried to slam Rush and in the process made a ridiculous gaffe, adding to his long list of classics. Glenn has the audio on radio today.
NJ Governor Chris Christie is speaking the truth and punching the left (and the right) with inescapable logic. The Governor went on Morning Joe and the hosts thought they had a nice trap for him, but Christie bluntly shut down the attack. Glenn plays the audio of Christie that quite frankly is nothing less than conservative porn.

Update Insider Extreme FAQ
Glenn and O'Reilly bring the Bold & Fresh Tour to Westbury, NY on Saturday, July 31st.
Are all of the decisions by this administration merely a series of wild, unlucky mistakes or is it a power struggle? Is the president trying to stabilize or fundamentally transform America?
Before it was even put in place, the Arizona immigration law was already working because illegal immigrants were self deporting themselves to avoid prosecution. It does seem strange that a court would be so afraid of a law that specifically forbids law enforcement from racially profiling - but that wasn't enough for the courts (and a Clinton appointed Judge) to jump to the rescue of the paranoid left - who worry about kids being scooped up while they enjoy an ice cream cone.
It's interesting that the left is largely silent on the blatant power grabs by this administration - such as the latest with the SEC, who are now exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests. Everyone should be up in arms, because no matter who is in control, government and power has proven to be a horrible combination.
It's just one month away from the Restoring Honor Rally in Washington DC - proceeds from the event go to the Special Operation Warrior Fund. Glenn looks forward to seeing you in one month - and you can donate by bidding on any one of a number of great auction items...

Who says the government can't run an auto company? Look at this genius: the all new Chevy Volt. Travels 40 miles on electricity. It can be yours for the low low price of just $41,000 dollars. Oh, and there's a tax rebate if you buy it. Why not just make a car that people will buy at the asking price? They'll figure it out someday. Maybe.Glenn has more on Government Motors today.
Barack Obama promised transparency, but he hasn't done a bang up job sticking to that promise. The latest blow came from FrakenDodd's Financial (disaster) Reform bill - the SEC now does not have to comply to Freedom of Information Act requests. But don't worry - the SEC came out today and announced (seriously) that you can email them with any concerns. Wow. Glenn has more on radio today.

Director wants to puts Hitler, Stalin and the Holocaust in 'context'
I believe there's one document that explains the reason for many of the actions we're seeing from this administration. It's the June 18th, 1969 manifesto from The Weathermen.
Glenn talked about this on TV last night and on radio today - it's the 'how to' from a career leftist activist.
This is normally a non issue - people can spend what they want to spend. BUT, when you are Hillary Clinton, who constantly bashes the greedy rich and wants to confiscate profits and spread the wealth around - UMMM Hillary, how about not spending half a million dollars on flowers? Whaddya say? Glenn has more on radio today.
Yet another do as I say not as I do politician - Senator Kerry is a progressive who tries to soak the rich in taxes, but will find any way he (as a rich person) can to avoid paying them. Why would he bother trying to avoid them, since it's his patriotic duty to pay them? Hypocrisy from another lefty buffoon.
It's time for another episode of 'imagine if Glenn or Rush said it' show! On today's episode, media mogul Oliver Stone said Adolf Hitler was misunderstood, and the media isn't saying squat...

Regal ruins: Palatial mansion near Philly crumbles
Netroots held a big progressive conference in Las Vegas over the weekend and you were a major topic. Again, when they mention me, they're really talking about you. Without you, I wouldn't merit a single thought from these people.
You may be tired, but you have to remain involved
This weekend the President recorded a message for a progressive who's who conference, and had to apologize because he hasn't done enough. What did they expect was going to happen in the first 2 years - America to be full blown communists? Apparently, because they seemed frustrated. Who do they think is standing in their way? YOU. What are they planning to do about you?
Incredibly, many on the left are trying to spin the Shirley Sherrod story and say that Fox News is the reason that Sherrod was fired - when the TRUTH is that the White House fired Sherrod before Fox News ever played the clip...
Take it from a leftist and lifelong activist who has actually studied 'movements' carefully - the Tea Party is at a critical stage. This 'Movement Action Plan' put together by Bill Moyer in 1987 demonstrates that the Tea Party may be in stage 5 of this plan - the toughest part to get through before any movement succeeds. Glenn has details on radio today.

It really says something about a news network when a Congressman is appalled that he'd get a probing question from MSNBC. Usually they ask about the weather or ice cream and call it a day. This time it's the late Tim Russert's son, Luke Russert, asking Charlie Rangel about the possibility he might lose his gig - the response speaks volumes.
During a commercial break, the Red Phone rang - it does get tested from time to time to make sure it's still working - BUT this time it was no one from the control room. Turns out as Glenn picked up the Red Phone on TV - the number on the bottom of the phone was visible and a fan called in as a good Samaritan. Mediaite reported on the story and Glenn tells what happened on radio today.

Happy anniversary everyone! Yes, it's been exactly one year since the president announced that the police "acted stupidly" despite the fact that he didn't have all the facts on the arrest of his buddy in Cambridge.
A great picture of Glenn with military attorneys and members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir while in Salt Lake City last weekend.
The Shirley Sherrod debacle is getting more bizarre by the minute. The White House and Sherrod are now blaming Fox News and others for causing the firing to happen. The only problem with that is she was fired before any of the shows played the tape. Glenn has more on the fallout of Sherrod on radio today.
Keith Olbermann weighed in on the Shirley Sherrod story in the way only Keith Olbermann can: with a French history lesson. It only gets worse from there as Glenn plays the tragic and unintentionally hilarious audio from the scantly watched Keith Olbermann program.
Obama's old friend Rashid Khalidi is back in the news - he's lending support to a new flotilla similar to the last one that ended in disaster. The name of the flotilla? Audacity of Hope. Wow. Glenn has more on radio today.

If blogs and media outlets paid as much attention to the administration and government as they have been in trying to attack me and "Faux News," the republic would probably be much safer.
Lessons from Shirley Sherrod saga
To understand which way the wind blows. Glenn reads through some of Bill Ayers crazy domestic terror group The Weatherman - and you can read the entire, agonizing manifesto yourself. But Glenn feels it's the playbook currently being used by the President - because many of the radicals in and around his administration are children of this hate-America manifesto. He reads some of it on air today.
After a tape was released where Sherrod made seemingly racist statements - the administration immediately terminated her (according to Sherrod) because she would 'be on Glenn Beck tonight' (gee, think you are in Obama's head?). Glenn wouldn't even have covered the story because Sherrod's defense holds up - the full context of the speech was how she learned a lesson about NOT basing things purely on race. Now the story is - why in the world did Obama fire her?

The media is completely ignoring the escalation of violence on our southern border. It's wildly out of control and the violence is worse than ever. There are new pictures coming out now so gruesome that we couldn't even show them to you on TV. They are BELOW, but I warn you they are extremely graphic.
At the very minimum this is one of the worst PR moves of all time. A Six Flags amusement park is having a 'Muslim Family Day' which, if that's what they want to do, great. BUT they've decided to have the festivities on September 12th - of ALL days, THIS is the one they pick? What in the world were they thinking?
It's fairly common knowledge that the media is wildly liberal, but according to a new report from The Daily Caller it looks like things are much, much worse than even previously thought. So called journalists going the extra mile to cover up scandals damaging to Barack Obama and the democrats. Glenn has the story on radio today.
President Obama suddenly has a problem with procedural maneuvering, now that he's on the other end of it. He's trying to extend unemployment benefits and complaining that Republicans have a 'lack of faith' in the American people. That's quite an amazing statement coming from Mr. 'only government' can save us - Glenn has the incredible audio on radio today.

A story came out a little while ago that, quite honestly, I can't believe I missed, but someone sent it to me. It's about the "presidential assassination program," where "American citizens are targeted for killings far away from any battlefield, based exclusively on unchecked accusations by the executive branch that they're involved in terrorism."
If we're going to restore the country — to "fix" the problems we have — first and foremost we must be grounded in truth. The lies this administration are putting forth are piling up — almost as much as the flies.
Glenn has a to-do list for each and every person to take on leading up to the August 28th Restoring Honor Rally in Washington DC. Pray on your knees once a day. Covenant with God that you are going to stop telling lies - ANY lie. Do not tell an untruth - even to yourself! Think you can do these and more like it? Glenn has more 'to do's' on radio today.
In the Constitution, it's the Freedom of Religion. The President has quietly changed the wording of this phrase to 'Freedom of worship' which to some may seem like a matter of semantics, but Glenn says there is much more than just a word game. What difference can one word make?
A story that somehow slipped Glenn's radar screen, the President (according to the oh-so conservative Salon.com) has a "presidential assassination program," where "American citizens are targeted for killings far away from any battlefield, based exclusively on unchecked accusations by the Executive Branch that they're involved in Terrorism". This is particularly baffling coming from Obama, who complained about listening in to phone calls to terrorists. Now he wants to shoot Americans suspected of terrorism?
One of Glenn's favorite speeches he's ever given happened in Salt Lake City over the weekend at the final American Revival event. Of course the media only picked up on Glenn talking about the problems with his eyes.

Glenn has the audio today of Obama talking about how his individual salvation will 'not come about' without collective salvation. This idea is straight from the belly of the beast, it nullifies Jesus's gift on the cross and puts salvation in the hands of deeds, not grace. Even the Pope has called the idea 'demonic'.
Another 'faith' group is attacking Glenn - and in an odd coincidence this faith group has a mission statement that talks more about Obama's goals than the gospel. And in another strange coincidence, the first link on the recommended reading page is Obama advisor and Glenn Beck boycotter Jim Wallis's site. Hmmm, who's dealing in truth?
The entire reason Obamacare passed was because he promised that abortions would not be federally funded. The ink has barely dried on the executive order Obama signed before federal dollars are heading towards the destruction of life. Obama even scolded people who warned of this for 'bearing false witness' - and he made the accusation in front of religious leaders. Does it get any lower?
Glenn makes an offer to match a large donation on radio today IF the audience matches the large donation. The donations are going to support the Restoring Honor Rally on 8/28 and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Realizing that Glenn would potentially have to write a very, very large check - Stu jumps into action and mobilizes the community to help break Glenn's bank. How much could Glenn be out? And who is the mystery donor?

Glenn Beck explains why he's worried about the controversial movement
I want you to imagine two different kinds of worlds. First, imagine one where a man's word actually is his bond and if that bond is broken there is shame associated with it.
Restoring Honor: Abraham Lincoln
President Obama's financial regulation bill goes before Congress today and it's expected to pass, thanks to three Republicans breaking ranks. Not shockingly, 'Republicans' Scott Brown, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins have aligned themselves with Democrats and with this disastrous bill that leaves unelected bureaucrats with untold amounts of power.
For more on the financial reform bill - check out Glenn’s interview with Senator Orrin Hatch from radio today.
Nancy Pelosi has her sights set on defeating Michele Bachmann and despite the national effort by Democrats, Bachmann is still up by 9 points. The Congresswoman talks about the financial reform bill, and the coming Restoring Honor Rally on 8/28 in Washington DC. Bachmann is part of a wonderful item up for bid at the Charity Auction - it's a tour of the U.S. Capitol with she and David Barton.

NAACP takes issue with Tea Party's 'continued tolerance for bigotry and bigoted statements'
Despite being one of, if not the most peaceful movements in history, the NAACP is lashing out at the Tea Parties and calling them racists and bigots. Glenn plays the audio and responds one by one to each of the points made by the NAACP speaker. The Black Panthers, who claim to be part of the same movement, have demonstrated clear racism yet no one has condemned them. Why?
Another day, another Democrat loses control of their faculties and lashes out. This time it was Democrat Rep. Ciro Rodriguez, who goes ballistic when confronted with the inconvenient facts. Watch the full video and get Glenn's reaction from radio today.
Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman was asked about the DOJ Black Panther case, and responded that he wasn't aware of it. The best part about the clip is that, judging by their reaction, the people in attendance clearly knew about the case, providing yet another example of how out of touch Congress really is.

Are news media being kept from reporting on Gulf oil spill?
The president can say whatever he wants, but the actions of this administration — especially when it comes to radicals — speak volumes.
A story that was scantily reported this weekend was a letter bomb attack in Houston. Nancy Pelosi cried about all the scary rhetoric coming from the right and the tea parties - but she doesn't seem too affected by the actual violence from the left. Here's more of being ignored by the mainstream media.
This is the ideology of Barack Obama's church for 20 years, and the theology of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. The Black Panthers believe in Black Liberation Theology. Glenn plays some of the audio from the man who started the Black Liberation Theology movement and explains how it pertains to today.
A new poll out suggests that 55% of Americans would describe Barack Obama as a socialist. It's a high number, although the mountain of evidence to suggest he is at the very least a socialist should make it even higher.

Radical party challenges Glenn Beck over 8/28 Rally
Jul. 9, 2010
The response is not positive. Out of all the frightening 'kill crackers' and kill cracker babies comments, the main problem Panthers leadership had is that a black man was publicly berated in the process. As for the killing of white babies, they are willing to stipulate that 'in this context' they disagree with the killing of babies. Well, what context is killing babies ok? They answer that question and Glenn plays the audio on radio today.
It's a phrase he's mentioned a few times, but could explain much of why the President is jamming a marxist agenda down the throats of Americans - he believes in collective salvation, and that's an idea straight out of the Jeremiah Wright playbook. Remember, Obama credits Jeremiah Wright with bringing him to faith. Glenn explains more about this ideology that is directly at odds with traditional Christianity.
As the date for the historic Restoring Honor Rally rapidly approaches, the opposition intensifies. Opponents are promising counter rallies and even the Black Panthers say they may make an appearance. Glenn talks about the latest developments leading up to the 8/28 rally on radio today.

Does Obama's new Medicare administrator care more about America's health or redistributing America's wealth?
The question comes up over and over again: How does 20 percent of this nation control the other 80 percent? Ignore it. Deflect it. Redirect it — don't address it...
The President has just decided to skip the pesky Senate confirmation process and simply appoint socialist Don Berwick to head up the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services...
Joey Vento, founder of Geno's Steaks, has been speaking out against an increasingly nanny state style government who doesn't seem to believe the American dream can still be achieved. Vento strongly disagrees, and he should know - he started his business against all odds: with $6 bucks and a family name that wasn't exactly the best. How'd he do it?
There's a key piece missing - Glenn has the ironic exclusion. Plus, another telling moment from this weeks White House Press briefing as a reporter asked what Glenn calls the best question ever asked by a White House Press. The question was so good it actually left Robert Gibbs speechless - ok, that happens a lot, but it's still a really good question. What'd they ask that stumped Gibbs?
A reporter from Mediaite.com asked Press Secretary Robert Gibbs if the President had any reaction to the upcoming Restoring Honor Rally on August 28th and he claims the President hasn't heard about it. Wait, weren't those tea party people dangerous? Shouldn't the President know about millions of dangerous Americans descending on the national mall next month?

Iran offers new haircut guidelines for men
Here we are, picking up the slack for the rest of the media again; they seem fairly disinterested in the New Black Panther case that was dropped by the Justice Department and Eric Holder.
The Department of Justice apparently doesn't think the voter intimidation at the polls in Philadelphia by the Black Panthers merits any further attention. Perhaps they haven't seen the video of the same Black Panther who was at the polls also calling for white people (crackers, as he so eloquently put it) and their babies to be killed. The DOJ had actually already won the case and was preparing for sentencing when suddenly the case was dropped. Huh? Glenn has the disturbing audio on radio today.
Glenn is starting a new venture for all the geniuses in the media who think that Beck University is literally a University: Beck Hospital. Will the left and the media be able to figure out that it's not an actual hospital? Unlikely. Glenn goes over the latest ridiculous attacks from the left on radio today.
Even though most Americans are not aware of it, there is a battle for the soul of the country going on. If you choose to sit on the sidelines, that's your call but rest assured the fight will continue. Will we move closer towards being Europe lite? Or will we restore America to the principles that made us great? It all starts with you. Glenn wants you get off the sidelines and get down to Washington, D.C. on August 28th. Glenn talks about the upcoming event on radio today.

If you donate $100 to the 8/28 Project you will receive this George Washington print created by the late Arnold Friberg.
Congress couldn't agree on a budget, but don't worry about that. House Democrats have "deemed" the new $1.1 trillion budget as passed. "Deem and pass" allows Democrats to start spending money in 2011 without having to follow any real budget.
President Obama, Bill Clinton excuse Byrd's KKK past
He's not, really - but he thinks he is. Last week Glenn played the audio of Stark belittling Minutemen as they talked about the border, and completely disrespecting them in the process. It didn't seem as though this elected official could have any more disdain for the America citizen - and then another video of Congressman Stark was unearthed. This time he's taking his better-than-you attitude to someone asking him about economics.
Why is the left so afraid of Glenn? Could it be because he's shining a light where they don't want it to be shined? Glenn is zeroing in on the history progressives don't want you to know about...
Not the moon, not Mars, not space or the space station. Nope - NASA is now being charged with making Muslim countries feel good about themselves and their contributions to science. Oh, how times have changed. Glenn reacts to the latest ridiculous (and condescending) move by the President on radio today, and even talks to the latest Glenn Beck employee - an associate director of Glenn Beck/Obama supporter outreach, Darryl Klegworth, who sounded suspiciously like Stu.
The media did everything the could to ignore it, but Bill Clinton still felt the need to go out there and defend Byrd, saying that his KKK affiliation was 'fleeting' (it wasn't) and that he only did it because he was trying to get elected. That story should be everywhere - instead, it gets brushed under the rug and excused. Meanwhile, conservatives are called racist for wanting to limit the size of government and disagreeing with Barack Obama.

From health care to the economy, Beck's panel investigates the role of faith
Glenn plays the amazing audio of Chris Matthews telling his puny audience that in order to save the economy we have to stop listening ton Europe (who are slowing government spending) and start production on 'rapid rail' like France. Too many problems with Matthews idiotic statement of the day to count - Glenn tries to help Matthews out on radio today.
President Obama is actually traveling all across America talking about how great the stimulus package is doing - but it's kind of a tough sell because most people in America know that the economy still really blows. Obama's excuse? Hey, it could be worse! Glenn has the amazing audio on radio today.
A caller from South Carolina, Gary, is in the center of controversy after putting trash in a trash can. The caller was cited and told to immediately rectify the situation. Is this a precursor to the trash police? Glenn talks with Gary on radio today.
Former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell joined the program, and judging by the title of his new book he's not exactly thrilled with the direction the President is leading the country. One of the hardest hit states in the country is Blackwell's home state of Ohio, and he talks with Glenn about the book and devastating effects Obamanomics are having on the country.
The media think that the Tea Party movement is simply anti-Obama. What they fail to understand is that Obama has merely stepped on the accelerator and hurried a public opposition to government that was inevitable. People have known for a long time that something is missing from our leadership today, and now there's urgency to find that missing ingredient. Danny Tobey, author of The Faculty Club, explores the answer in a special to the Glenn Beck email newsletter.

Stu and Glenn had a behind the scenes debate on the election victory of Mike Lee, the tea party candidate who was trailing huge in the polls until he appeared on radio with Glenn. Stu thinks it was the interview that put him over the edge, Glenn thinks it's the movement on the ground. Glenn turns to the President of Freedom Works, Matt Kibbe, to talk about what is happening in the latest elections and why.

Glenn recommends you check out the blog
NewZeal Blog, who has some amazing video clips posted up on the site today. One is of Dr. Richard L. Rubinstein, Yale fellow "Distinguished Professor of the Year", and Harvard Phd, who states that president Obama wants to "correct the historical mistake of the creation of the state of Israel" and goes on to call him the most radical president ever. Will the left listen to THIS intellectual?

Kids playing 'Glenn Beck'...
Glenn is under attack (gee, real shocker) for the upcoming 'Restoring Honor' rally on August 28th in Washington D.C. that will, among other things, honor our men and women in uniform. Apparently trying to get Americans to reconnect with the values of the Founding Fathers and the men and women of our armed forces is 'controversial' and offensive to some. People like Bill Press lashed out at Glenn - and he plays the hate spewing from the left on radio today.
President Obama has come out this weekend and warned his opposition that he's 'calling their bluff' and they better stand up when he starts making 'very difficult choices' next year. This is particularly hilarious coming from the guy who just took a nation that couldn't afford to spend a dime more - and committed us to spending trillions of dollars on entitlement programs.
Glenn is under attack (gee, real shocker) for the upcoming 'Restoring Honor' rally on August 28th in Washington D.C. that will, among other things, honor our men and women in uniform.
Last week Glenn played the amazing audio of J.D. Hayworth in which he's doing some sort of a crappy infomercial where he's trying to convince people that they can get free money from the government. It's very Nigerian prince email scam-esque, and once this video came out Glenn predicted Hayworth would tank. What do the latest polling numbers show in McCain vs. Hayworth?

When George W. Bush stepped up efforts to secure the border he was called a racist - so what is the left called when they start implementing the same tactics? Smart! It's amazing the difference one letter can make - have a D after your name and you are a brilliant, compassionate person. An R? Hatemonger! Glenn has the story and audio from 'big sis' on radio today.
It's very tough to beat his previous comment that with overpopulation and too many U.S. Marines there the island might capsize. But you don't deliver a gem like that and have nothing else to follow it up - here's the latest brilliant observation and analysis from Congressman Hank Johnson.
Governor Chris Christie makes so much sense and explains his conservative ideas in such a clear, concise way it can only be described as conservative porn.
Glenn talked to Liberty University's Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. on radio today about the importance of putting aside differences and uniting in these important times. Liberty University has also made an amazing contribution to the 8/28 charity auction - a full scholarship to attend the university. Bid on that HERE and check out the conversation from radio today.
There are things happening in this country and around the world that you need to know about, but I’m going to bet you haven’t heard a single one mentioned by the mainstream media.
I want to talk to you about communism, but I have to tell you, that sounds like a joke. Three years ago I didn't even think it was around; I would have mocked someone like me. But...

Apparently Barney Frank needs a little history refresher - Stalin, Hitler, Mao all killed millions of people through an out of control government...
Really this shouldn't come as a shocker, given the media's complete and total disdain for Israel and it's right to exist - but the media has completely ignored the fact that 87 Senators have come together in unified support for Israel and urging Barack Obama to follow suit. Glenn has the story on radio today.
Thanks to you, Glenn's fiction thriller The Overton Window will debut at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list dated (fittingly enough) July 4th. And The Times is forced, for the 6th time in a row, to put Glenn's name in the #1 position. Not everyone fared so well in books this week - and Glenn highlights one such case from another cable news host who entered the book race.
Tipper sounds suspiciously like Stu doing his best version of Tipper Gore, but Glenn goes ahead with the interview anyway. After news of his separation from long time wife Tipper, Al Gore is in the news again this time over allegations he sexually assaulted a female masseuse in Oregon back in 2006. Can Al ever win back Tipper's affection? He tries to mend the fences on radio today.

Townhall names the country's most effective conservatives...
Let me start things off by reminding you of what the president said at the beginning of his term: "Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.”
What's up with President Obama and his bizarre ability to attract insects like flies, bees and rodents? The latest was his press conference yesterday, when a fly landed just above his mouth. Previously, the president had to swat a fly away during an interview, and a similar instance occurred during a planned photo op in Iowa. Then he was swarmed by bees, and even had a rodent come running towards him during a presser in the Rose Garden. Glenn addresses the President's strange insect and rodent magnetism on radio today.
But the fight isn't over, as the administration quickly announced plans to appeal a judge's decision to overturn Obama's 6 month moratorium on offshore drilling. The administration has also put a halt to the building of protective sand berms, begging the obvious question: why?
When Glenn first saw this video, he thought it was a spoof made to mock the system of government we currently have set up. Oh no, it's 100% serious, and 100% Matthew Lesko approved. Glenn plays the audio that's so incredibly bad it's difficult to believe it's from 2007. But it is...

What causes Glenn to vomit live on air today? Was it something Nancy Pelosi said? Yes, actually it was. She and Barack Obama and others- what was said that literally pushed an ill feeling Glenn Beck over the edge?
The top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has been summoned to the White House to explain harsh comments he made about the President and his administration in a Rolling Stone interview. Did he step out of line? Glenn's answer may surprise you, plus he explains why someone as smart as Chrystal would speak to Rolling Stone - listen to the response on the radio program today.
Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis has come out in favor of making sure that undocumented workers are given fair wages, and encouraged those paid less than minimum wage to contact the government. A brilliant ruse to lure illegals from the shadows? Doubtful - if they were serious about solving the illegal immigration problem, they'd close the border instead of saying 'call me!". Glenn has the audio from Solis and the answer on radio today.

While the right is always ridiculously accused of being “anti-immigrant”, it’s impossible not to appreciate those legal immigrants of all colors and nations that refresh the American spirit.
Don’t worry, they’ve only been missing for two years. I’m sure they’re just innocent immigrants doing jobs Americans just won’t do. According to the Fox News exclusive story, officials say that “an unspecified number of the 17 have been caught.” Oh, well, then I’m feeling an unspecified amount of better about the situation.

Radicals pounce on BP Gulf oil spill
Glenn plays the audio of the left stepping up calls for Obama to assert more power - one host went as far to say that Obama should be, like, a dictator. And, like any good dictator, you've got to have the kids.
It all started with Pat Gray signing his kid up for little league baseball. Pat was horrified to learn that even though his kid was in the 11-12 year old age range, the league was not going to keep standings because the goal was for every team to have the same number of wins and losses at the end of the season. So, Glenn has decided to start his own league - one that won't produce a generation of sissies.
Glenn and Bill debate how far Obama should go in his response to BP.
You should be. Plus the most clever review of The Overton Window yet!
Glenn Beck hosted a special SIRIUS XM "Author Confidential" featuring Nelson DeMille and Vince Flynn.
Jun. 16, 2010
Stu & Pat sat in for Glenn today. Why was he out and what did he think of Obama's speech? Glenn calls in from home during the last hour of the program to explain how the left is begging for a more dictatorial Obama.
Pat & Stu play the audio from Obama's big speech last night on the increasingly disastrous BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The next George Washington? Sure seems like it - try and watch this speech and disagree.

Show me your friends... and I'll show you your future.
Today, I'm asking you to really change the way you think. You are going to want to take your time with this one; it's going to require some imagination. Let's start by taking a look at these things...
No one can really understand how Alvin Green won the Democratic Primary in South Carolina, considering he doesn't campaign, go out, or even speak much. There are all kinds of theories being tossed around - including that the Republicans planted him in there. Did the republicans force Democrats to vote for the guy, too? Glenn has his theory and it is based on a voter who said Alvin Green's name reminded her of Al Green. That's what this race was about - not politics, but music.

Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-NC) was caught on tape physically assaulting some students who asked him if he agreed with Obama's policies. A commenter had this great campaign ad suggestion for Etheridge's next opponent: “Any citizen can ask me my position at any time, and I will answer directly and honestly rather than committing assault and battery. If Rep. Ethridge wants to know who I am, I am Renee Ellmers, and I approve this message.” Glenn reacts to the apology on radio today.
Glenn Beck talks about his new political thriller, 'The Overton Window'
Jun. 14, 2010
President Obama doesn't view the BP oil spill as an equal tragedy to Sept. 11. That's what everyone is all up in arms about, but there's something else.
Glenn found it interesting that the President wouldn't meet with the CEO of BP just a few days ago because 'those people' are all the same and say what you want to hear. How are they all the same? Glenn plays the Obama interview where he says white CEO's don't like taxes because it goes to help inner city kids. Now, all of a sudden, he's willing to meet with the BP CEO. What's changed?
It doesn't help that our President said no thanks to the Sir Winston Churchill bust, or that he's giving the Royal Family random DVD movies that don't even work as gifts - but to make matters worse we're now trying to destroy a company that holds the future of many Brits in their hands. British Petroleum is under the gun - albeit mostly of their own doing - but do we have to push them off the cliff? Glenn has the op-ed from the London Times today that says our special relationship is over.
Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-NC) was approached by a student group trying to do a project, when things got physical.

Remember when Barack Obama talked about how his grandmother was a 'typical white person' who has certain reactions 'bred' into them? Here's another group of people he's lumped into one category: capitalists.
The President and all of the people who shrug off claims that radicals and revolutionaries are in and around this White House probably haven't heard this audio from 1982. It's from an FBI agent who had been undercover working to get info on Bill Ayers domestic terrorist group The Weather Underground. The FBI agent talks about what the group said after he asked what they do if they achieve their takeover of the United States government. The answer explains why the mainstream media never bothered to show it. Glenn plays it on radio today.
When will the blame Bush parade end? Nancy Pelosi says when all the problems go away. That could be the most honest Pelosi moment ever because she's admitting they will continue to blame Bush until we live in a perfect world. Watch the video of that and get Glenn's comments from radio today.
Just when you thought the left had completely lost touch, they go and say something like THIS.
The radicals have infected the Democratic party.

After seeing the promo trailer for Glenn's new book The Overton Window (Time.com called it "one of the most epic book trailers of all time"), the Huffington Post quickly mocked it, and the hilarious Glenn jokes from progressives began to fly. We found that weird because progressives and liberals are supposed to be so intellectual and such big fans of art. Apparently when it comes from Glenn Beck, it's not art - it's crazy. BUT - if the Huffington Post made the oh-so difficult effort to 'Google' the poem, they may have been able to avoid making complete fools of themselves. Fortunately for us, they didn't, so Glenn happily took the opportunity to mock the hapless Huffpo writer and commenters.
Glenn warns Bill he may have to steal his Talking Points for his program every once in a while! And they chat about their upcoming tour dates, Bold and Fresh!

Look at the fundamental transformation that has happened so far since Obama took office — the most since FDR's New Deal: health care; government takeovers of car companies, banks and insurance companies.
And why we are on the fast track to suckdom. Check out this story Glenn had on radio today about a Canadian youth soccer league and the new rule they introduced. Any team that wins a game by more than 5 points will lose by default. Yes, you read that correctly, and yes, Canada sucks and because of stuff like this will continue to suck for a very long time. But we're not far behind! Glenn has more on radio today.
Today on radio Glenn talks to Joseph Lehman from Mackinac Center, the group that originally conceptualized the Overton Window theory. It's truly amazing, when just looking back a few decades, how far that window has moved.
Another brilliant idea from a Hollywood celebrity re: the BP oil spill situation: seize them! Yes, this is the kind of advanced thinking that conservatives could only dream of coming up with. Nothing bad could come of the government taking over our energy sector, because government always runs things more smoothly and more efficiently than the private sector could ever dream of. Or something. Rosie takes a break from her donut to needlessly give her opinion, and Glenn shares her unmeasurable idiocy on radio today.
Glenn was thrilled to talk to legendary author Nelson Demille on radio today, but was not so thrilled to find out that his latest book, The Lion, is coming out around the same time as Glenn's The Overton Window. Glenn has always been fascinated by fiction writers and in the interview today talks about the war gaming and planning that goes into making a fiction book entertaining and informative.

I want to start in 1945. The guns had finally drawn silent in Western Europe. The bombs had stopped falling. The skies above were no longer filled with the scream of fighter planes. The invasions and battles were no more.
President Obama goes on with Matt Lauer and says some pretty amazing things about the oil spill - including that he was 'down there' working on the problem a month ago while the 'talking heads' weren't paying attention and that he's ready to kick some ass now. Aside from being oh-so presidential, what else is wrong with this picture?
Back in 2004, when Michael Moore was hanging out with Jimmy Carter at the Democratic National Convention, Glenn said the Democratic party had been hijacked by the far left. Nancy Pelosi was recently heckled by Progressives at a conference on progressivism and other progressive related activities. Is Nancy Pelosi not far left enough? Why are they upset?
Glenn talks on radio today with Janine Turner, who has started a group that believes "America will not and cannot survive unless her citizens, her children, and her students, are educated about the validity, necessity and Providential Divinity of the Constitution." Glenn gets the details about this great project.
As each day goes by, it becomes more and more clear that this 'freedom' flotilla was on a mission that had nothing to do with peace. Glenn goes over the latest connections today that lead all the way back to the ground-zero mosque.
When the founders started the country, they wanted to limit the powers of government as much as possible without having total anarchy. Glenn takes to the chalkboard to explain where we are on the scale now...

I know progressives have tried to tell you otherwise, but you don't need to be a rocket scientist to lead America. A degree from Harvard or Yale is not a pre-requisite for president...
After the pathetic jobs report from last week that clearly showed the game government is playing to manipulate the jobs numbers - hiring temporary census workers accounted for 95% of the job 'growth' - Obama isn't hiding, instead he's touting an economy that's getting 'stronger' day by day. Glenn has that audio and the reality of what's actually in store for the future of world economies from an interesting source: socialists.
Helen Thomas showed her true colors when asked about the Israel situation - and it's pretty clear she's not a fan of Jews. She's been forced into an early retirement over the statements...
Brian, who did his college thesis on the greatness of Woodrow Wilson, has finally come full circle to realize the error of his ways.

Government takes over GM, government takes over banks, government hiring all the workers --- notice a trend here? Obama is already running around the country touting the slight dip in the unemployment rate (9.9% down to 9.7%) and all the mindless Obama followers dutifully cheer, apparently not realizing that they are the ones paying for the 'recovery'.
Actually, don't worry about the singing either. There's probably some Lady Gaga on somewhere, so shutting up will suffice. McCartney was at the White House for some reason or another, when he just couldn't help himself and had to bash George W. Bush. He made the hilarious 'it's good to have a president who knows what a library is' joke. Oh, man! What a riot! Did he stay up all night writing that one? All week maybe? Hopefully it didn't take eat up too much of his leisure time, that'd be a real drag.

California, Ohio and others are boycotting Arizona in one form or another over it's immigration law.

Israel is an amazing place. It's very similar to us. It's different, sure, but different like how we're different from, say, Canada — rather than how we're different from Egypt or Iran. Those are worlds apart.

The Wasilla Stalker is attempting to spin his move next door to the Palin's in order to write a book, and he says it's Palin who's the trouble maker here.

Nancy Pelosi was recently asked 'what's your favorite word?' and her response should have set fire to the separation of church and state freaks. Pelosi says her favorite word is 'The Word' and that she governs with values of the Word made Flesh, Jesus Christ. Uh, someone should probably tell Nance that Jesus isn't down with abortion.
The world is always looking for an excuse to turn up the heat on Israel. After the flotilla incident over the weekend nations are jumping at the chance to condemn Israel, despite video-evidence of the so called 'peace activists' brutally attacking the IDF as they boarded the flotilla.

May. 28, 2010
Glenn plays the amazing audio from Counter Terrorism Czar John Brennan, who by definition is supposed to be combating terrorism but says our enemy is not terror. He goes on to say that our enemies are not the jihadists either, because that's a legitimate process of religious purification.
President Obama has finally come out talking tough on the oil spill, as he presented his big solution to the ongoing problem: quit oil. That's right, the president announced a series of steps he'd take to solve the problem and most were cancellations of future oil drilling projects. If a doctor botches a surgery would he ban all surgeries? Glenn plays the audio and responds on radio today.

O'Reilly and Beck debate presidential bashing and its effect on America
I'm going to show you the propaganda machines of the Woodrow Wilson and FDR administrations and, more importantly, I'm going to show you the similar machine being built today, with Cass Sunstein leading the charge.
Glenn thanks the President for recommending all Americans read The Huffington Post. As they try to destroy Glenn's honorary doctorate title, they unwittingly prove that Glenn is right.
It's been well over a month now since the BP oil rig explosion in the gulf - and President Obama's somehow managed to avoid any scrutiny whatsoever from the press. President Bush didn't fare so well when the Exxon Valdez spill happened - the press went for blood within 2 weeks. Glenn compares the press reaction side by side on radio today.
Glenn was the only one who covered the news on the progressives in Puerto Rico who were manipulating the system to push Puerto Rico into statehood, despite the will of the people. President Obama has now come out and said he's cool with the idea of Puerto Rico being a state, so long as it's determined by the 'people' of Puerto Rico.
Bruce Feiler (America's Prophet, Council of Dad's) writes part 3 in our series on the Founders and their Faith this week in the email newsletter.

Bruce Feiler explains in "How the Story of Moses Inspired the Founding Fathers".

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin makes a major announcement on the radio program today: she'll be attending the 8/28 Restoring Honor Rally in Washington D.C. along with Glenn, Jo Dee Messina, Gary Sinise, Ted Nugent, Marcus Luttrell and many more at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
Glenn talks this morning about the local NYC board that gave the OK for a mosque to be built across the street from ground zero. Should they be allowed to build it? Should they be able to open the mosque on 9/11? Should the government find a way to stop it? Glenn's stance may surprise you - check out the spirited debate from radio today.

Attacking Glenn in an wedding invitation?
I've been telling you lately to stand in the truth. Because if you don't, it's only a matter of time before the truth finds you. Truth is a fire that eventually will consume everything else, so get yourself right and stand in the truth; then demand it from others and hold them accountable.
I want to have a conversation with you on something that I've been thinking about recently a lot. People say to me, where is George Washington, Glenn? Where is the next leader?
Congressman Weiner is either the dumbest human being alive, or the biggest liar on the planet because the pathetic excuse for an 'investigation' he started is getting worse by the minute. Weiner did battle with Bill O'Reilly last night, adding to the growing list of humiliation.
Once again the truth does not matter as another 'journalist' ignores the actual facts on the ground while bashing the Arizona immigration law. Despite over two thirds of America being FOR the law, he says that 'most' people are against this law. Thank God for Jake Tapper, who called out Donaldson in the way a good journalist should: with the FACTS!
The latest plunge in popularity could be because of the economy, OR it could be because he and his administration apologize and bash America whenever they get the chance. Any time an official goes to another country, it seems America gets stabbed in the back. Glenn says he's riled up today after the latest insult on foreign soil.
Whether it's the decades long stint without girlfriends, the endless hours playing Warcraft 17, or just the general lackluster existence of a liberal blogger - lefties in the blog-o-sphere seem to have a general hatred for God. They are on a mission to erase God from the history books, and the revisionist history has even stretched to the Founders, who are often described today as atheists and deists. What's the truth? What were the Founders views on Faith? Author of Sacred Fire Dr. Peter A. Lillback makes the case in an exclusive for the Glenn Beck email newsletter. READ IT, and pass the truth on to a friend!

Where's the SEIU protest of ShoreBank?
Continuing his trend of things that most presidents never do, President Obama spoke at West Point and told the cadets there of the need for a new international order. Given the recent apology tours, it seems the logical 'new' order would have America falling down a few spots in the countdown. Glenn has the story on radio today.
Perhaps Congressman Weiner should consider investigating the President as to what happened with Joe Sestak the other day. Glenn has the audio from Sestak and the weiner-like response from Press Secretary Gibbs.
First Van Jones group tried to boycott Glenn, then Obama advisor Jim Wallis, then SEIU and now Congressman Anthony Weiner has launched a Weiner attack on Glenn. Bill O'Reilly joined Glenn on radio today and astutely informed him that the only reason Glenn has a job is because O'Reilly gave the hire a green light so Glenn could be Bill's meat shield. What's that? Find out on radio today.
Comedian, impressionist, and the always entertaining Frank Caliendo joined the program and gave a glimpse of how his 'Glenn' impersonation is coming along. The man of many voices doesn't disappoint in another quality segment that includes plenty of Glenn bashing.

Apparently Democrats think Mexico is the land of milk and honey, because they gave Mexico's President Felipe Calderon a standing ovation (on the House floor, no less) when he bashed Arizona's immigration 'lo' as he called it. Wolf Blitzer recently interviewed Calderon, and grilled him on what he does with illegal immigrations. The answers sound eerily similar to that of --- Arizona's laws! Does Felipe Calderon 'strongly disagree' with himself? Does he think Arizona should be tougher? Or is he just a complete and total moron?
Congressman Anthony Weiner attacked Glenn and Goldline - but the attack is causing severe Weiner backlash. The impotence of Weiner's argument is being put on full display at WeinerFacts.com...
Stock markets took a dive yesterday, and the President blamed greedy Wall Street execs for causing the problems with the economy. Obama's solution? More regulation and more spending! He's pushing Chris Dodd's Financial bill through Congress, and he's trying to jam through a $200 billion 'jobs' (read: stimulus) bill through as well. This is about as crazy as a doctor telling a lung cancer patient to start smoking 4 packs of cigarettes a day. Get the full story from radio today.

Do you ever get the feeling you're in some sort of a parallel universe or on the set of a Hollywood movie? I have no logical explanation to explain the things going on in America today.

The objective journalists of NBC News examine immigration...
Standing with the President of Mexico, Obama teed off on America and the Arizona immigration law. It's bad enough that our own President feels the need to apologize time and time again for America's so-called bad behavior, what's worse is he does so without even giving an explanation of why the law is bad.
The king of cable news joined Glenn on radio today to talk about the news of the day - but more importantly Glenn and Bill talk about if they'd ever hang out away from work. Get that answer and salient commentary on the days events. And don't forget to find out where you can attend a Bold & Fresh tour stop!
Many are wondering if this debacle of a scene with the first lady the other day was a setup. She was talking to some young school children when a child starts saying that her mom tells her Barack Obama is sending everyone without papers back to their own country. She then proceeds to explain that her mom does not have her papers. Oops. Glenn has the story today on radio.

I want to talk about preserving our nation and our nation's ideals. And part of that has to be preserving our wealth. And by wealth, I don't mean only the rich people in the audience. I am talking about whatever you have.
Watch Glenn Beck weeknights on the Fox News Channel at 5p & 2a ET.
The current Top 25 Amazon.com movers and shakers right now looks more like a list of books for history buffs than the regular schmo. Almost every single one of the top 25 are about the Constitution, the Founders, and faith. Glenn explains why this is happening and what it means for the future of our country.
Just when you thought Richard Blumenthal couldn't get any dumber, he goes and does something like this. He goes around telling everyone he served in Vietnam - just one problem, he didn't actually serve in Vietnam. His excuse? The super super classic 'I misspoke'. What a Weiner!

Founding father billboards are popping up all over America.
If I had told you five years ago that this government would bypass the Congress — and thus you — and go through the EPA to get climate change done, by having them declare that when you exhale you poison the air, you wouldn't have believed it.
Here is the latest attempt from the left: the appropriately named Congressman Weiner is trying to take Glenn down through Goldline. Find out how from radio today.
How does Goldline feel about Congressman Weiner's attack? Glenn interviews Goldline President & CEO Mark Albarian.
Dale Peterson. Don't know anything about the guy other than he's from Alabama and he's managed to make perhaps the best campaign commercial of all time. Glenn talks with him on radio today to find out more about him.
America, let's be honest: Isn't there a part of you that would much rather be talking about "American Idol," "24," baseball or cheesecake — anything else besides this what we talk about every night?

It's "We the people", not me the President...
Crime, Inc is a story Glenn's been telling you about involving a group of government insiders who stand to make money off cap and trade legislation if it passes. Once of the hose players is Franklin Raines, the former CEO of Fannie Mae.
Glenn delivered the keynote speech at the NRA convention over the weekend, and Newt Gingrich also spoke to the crowd full of people who actually think the 2nd Amendment isn't a bad thing. Gingrich released the book he never thought he'd write, called To Save America: Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine and it's out today.
Glenn talks about an amazing book he was reading over the weekend called Sacred Fire. It's aimed at the critics of George Washington who claimed he wasn't religious, and the author takes each critical claim and meticulously picks them apart, one by one.

The world trade center towers have not yet been re-built, but there is one building right across from ground zero that's on schedule to open soon: it's a mosque. Hey if you want to build a mosque there, whatevs, go for it - but what has people really upset is that the dedication date is set for (you guess it) 9/11/11. We have American kids getting tossed out of school for wearing American flag shirts on Cinco de mayo (a Mexican beer holiday) because they were being insensitive. But it's totally cool to open a mosque right across the street from ground zero on 9/11? Glenn has this story and Eric Holder audio, as he continues his streak of idiotic comments.
Glenn played the amazing audio of David Horowitz, who was taking questions from an audience when a radical tried to engage him in debate. It took Horowitz all of about 2 minutes before he gets the young lady to admit that she wants to exterminate Jews. Incredible audio that shows real hatred is out there - but the media ignores it. Check out the full exchange, which Glenn plays on radio today.
On radio today, Glenn interviewed Senior Editor of First Things Magazine, David Goldman, who took part in a convention in Israel last week and heard some eye opening things from Jewish leaders there in regards to Barack Obama. Is there a Jewish backlash against Obama, in light of his, as David says, 'profound personal sympathy' for Islam and Islamic culture.

The earth has a temperature, a boo-boo. But we can sing the praises of the Lord Almighty God because he has sent us his prophets, Brother Kerry and Brother Lieberman, to heal the planet. They introduced a new climate bill today. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The bill has a new name. It's cap-and-trade. No, no, wait, wait. It's not cap-and-trade...
Who is Maurice Strong? Glenn explains in this video. Watch Glenn Beck on Fox News every weekday at 5p and 2a ET...
Van Jones was giving a speech this week and landed on the subject of Glenn. His comments were interesting. Glenn plays the audio clip where Jones gushes about Glenn's genius, but why is he really being nice? Check out the debate on radio today.
There's the obligatory 'imagine if George W. Bush were in office' hypothetical slug line of the day. News came out that the deficit is getting bigger - even during tax time when normally there is a bit of a reduction. But don't worry! The new Cap and Tax bill will solve everything. Or make it 100 times worse. One of the two. Glenn talks about the deficit and coming regulation on the radio show today.
It's going to take a politician with a spine of steel to stand up to this one - because it's all done in the name of keeping kids healthy. You could put almost anything in front or behind those three words and people would be for it - 'The Keeping Kids Healthy & Strip Mine Yellowstone Act of 2010' would breeze through the House and Senate.
Lone Survivor Marcus Luttrell was on the phone today to talk about a couple of things, including the new item up for auction for 8/28 - bidding for a chance to hang with Marcus. Glenn also got his opinion on Obama's comments indicating interest in creating a new bravery award soldiers could win for showing 'restraint'. Marcus' reaction says it all.

An 'All Occasion' Bacon Tuxedo...
The Times today draws parallels between Greece and their disastrous economy problems - with ours. After cheering on the most liberal Senator for President in 2008, then cheering for all of his financially crippling policies - the Times is now writing about how Greece is really not that different than America and we're making all the same mistakes they are. Thanks for the update, guys! Glenn reacts on radio this morning.
Glenn was pleasantly surprised when he heard the clip of NBC anchorman Brian Williams during an appearance on the David Letterman show. It was like someone 10 times as concerned as Glenn on where things are headed. Glenn plays the audio on radio today.
A group of 9-12ers (the 9-12 Delaware Patriots) brave a speech by the mad bomber, Bill Ayers, and even got him to sign Glenn's book when it was all said and done. Ironically, this idiot who was running around blowing stuff up during the domestic terrorism portion of his life, had the stones to write something about peace and love on the book. Glenn interviews the 9-12ers who talked to Ayers.

How America has transformed in one year
One of the most ridiculous political ads you will ever see and it's from Senator McCain. Forgetting all about his history of calling the border fence the 'G-D' fence, and despite working with Ted Kennedy to grant amnesty to illegals -- McCain produces THIS ad...
Obama's administration have some people scratching their heads this week, as the script has seemed to be completely flipped around. Suddenly, the party of 'overseas contingency' and give terrorists trials in New York City - those guys are now saying take the rights away from those suspected of terrorism. Really? And Obama's supreme court nominee takes it even a step further.

The government is stifling free speech from the inside out
Obama repeatedly said during the campaign that he was against the Fairness Doctrine. It's becoming clear he can go a different way to achieve similar ends. Longtime Obama friend and now regulatory czar Cass Sunstein explained his 5 step plan to stifle free speech, and Obama eagerly echoed the message this weekend in a speech. Glenn plays the audio and reacts.
Many people still feel helpless to stop the onslaught to the Constitution. Obama and his leftists radicals all feel the Constitution is a living, changing document and they are doing their best to change it and/or work around it. What can you do? Glenn explains what your calling could be...
President Obama nominated Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court today, a move questioned by some for the mere fact that this is another one of Obama's favorites from academialand who seem to advocate (wait for it) socialism. Kagan has zero experience as an actual judge, and minimal experience working in the legal field - but she's got the most important quality in the eyes of Obama: a love for the redistribution of wealth.
George Washington was called the indispensable man. I didn't even know why until — until — I mean, I've read a lot of books on George Washington.

The President who promised he'd stop the oceans from rising hasn't been able to stop unemployment from doing the same. Despite the bad news, that's not stopping the President from turning that frown upside down! Glenn has the latest on the crappy numbers that the president thinks rock.
In Alexandria Virginia they are planning to monitor the recycling bins so they can (no joke) 'target' those who do not recycle. Somewhere, Arianna Huffington screamed at the violent rhetoric used by the local Alexandria government officials. Or she completely ignored it, one of the two. Glenn reacts to the latest government intrusion on radio today.
When the media thought the Times Square bomber was one of those white, angry Tea Party goers - the tone was that of how you'd expect to treat a dirtbag bomber. But, not long after learning this guy was a transplant Muslim from Pakistan, CNN and others suddenly found a soft spot in their heart for this poor man who was losing his house. Because that's what most people do after they lose their house - go to Times Square and blow up innocent civilians. Glenn has the story on radio today.

Super creepy Canadian Game Show Host...
I want to tell you about a headline the other day on another news network that caught my eye. The banner on the bottom of the screen said: "Papers, please: Law makes it crime to be illegal immigrant."
The FCC is planning on making the internet a public utility, so it can be regulated much in the same way that phone companies are. They government will argue that they are doing this to boost your internet speeds, or something. When has the government ever been good at making something more efficient? Clearly never - so what's the real reason behind the move? Glenn explains on radio today.
Students at a California high school were actually punished yesterday for wearing American flag shirts. But it gets even worse - the reason they were punished was because school officials told them it was insensitive to Mexican students to wear the American flag on Cinco de Mayo. Why would that be insensitive? Glenn has the story on radio today.
May. 5, 2010
A completely random picture of the day...
It's a safe bet that most Americans' first exposure to the concept of carbon trading or cap-and-trade legislation came during the most recent presidential campaign when both candidates advocated the need to make protecting the environment a government mandate instead of the moral obligation it's always been.
Glenn attended the Time 100 fancy dinner event, usually reserved for famous liberals to congratulate themselves on their self-perceived influence on the world. As if Lady Gaga ever influenced you to do anything in your life. It was a night of awkward conversation and overall uncomfortableness, Glenn talked about it on radio today.
Glenn is getting heat from all sides for his take that the Times Square bomber deserves the rights every other citizen gets -- because he's a citizen. Joe Lieberman even has a bill that would cause those accused of committing a terrorist act to lose their citizenship. Huh? Glenn addresses the 'controversy' on radio today.
Article by Darrell Ankarlo - Arizona is all over the news because finally our state says “enough is enough” and has stopped waiting for the federal government to do something we all know it won’t do. I mean, come on, those supposed “representatives of the people” knew about and allowed Wall Street to come within inches of bankrupting America. Can we really expect them to address their open door policy to modern day slavery?
May. 4, 2010
Those racist cops were at it again. In New York, after the failed car bombing they were just randomly frisking people down with no rhyme or reason, patrolling for "different looking" people when — miraculously — they were able to apprehend the bomber, 30-year-old Faisal Shahzad, just before he left for Dubai.
It appears that the government may not have followed their own plans and regulations put in place back in 1994 to help prevent oil spills from reaching shore. The 'In-Situ Burn' plan was designed to burn surface oil on the water before it made its way to the shore, damaging sensitive environmental areas.
The President spoke today about the failed bomb attempt in Times Square, and he gave a very special shout out to the police who did such a fine job. The compliment comes with a grain of salt, of course, because it seems that most of the time the President feels the police are acting stupidly, racist or both. Glenn listens to the President and reacts on radio today.
The president made a funny the other night at the White House Correspondents' Dinner about how anyone, like the Jonas Brothers, who gets near his daughters, he'll send the drones. Plus, the state of Pennsylvania released this creepy commercial that seemed to insinuate the state would bomb your house if you didn't pay taxes. Glenn gets attacked for such lines - is the press outraged?
Al Gore once promised to dump all the climate related money he made back into the climate. Technically he's keeping the promise, as he just bought another mansion. This $9 million monster probably does put a lot back into the climate. Don't worry, Al probably planted a lot of trees to off-set the house. Or something like that.

We are not France. What makes us different? Our people. We have always been a people of faith — restore that. It is what gives us hope, we all understand that we all will fail at some point. But we can all get up again...
The man behind the curtain could very well be Joel Rogers. A powerful progressive who's been behind the scenes pushing the big government agenda for decades, he's on Glenn's radar screen after tips from Watchdogs led to some amazing audio clips from Rogers.
The recent failed bomb attempt in Times Square is only an indication of the coming Perfect Storm Glenn has been talking about forever. But whats even scarier than the bomb attempt is how the media reports and fails to report on issues like these. What's really going on behind stories like this and more? Glenn explains on radio today.
Stu continues his award winning live breaking news coverage to bring the latest news from the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf. This time he breaks news that goes far beyond the spill itself, and explores the real cause behind the horrible explosion and spill. What did Obama know and when did he know it? Stu reports on radio today.
What's Glenn's take on the Obama administrations reaction to the oil spill?

He's Barack Obama -- from JibJab.
Apr. 30, 2010
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin dropped by the radio program to chat about the Time list -- and more importantly, how uncomfortable the upcoming dinner of all the 100 will be. Picture Glenn at a table with Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Lady Gaga - Glenn and Lady would be the only two sane ones at the table. Listen to the interview from radio today.
Glenn played the audio of the President, who thought it'd be a good idea to wander off prompter for a few moments. They should know it's a bad idea because every time this President wanders off prompter, he can't go more than 10 seconds without saying something overtly Marxist. This time, he wandered off mere seconds before saying 'at some point, you've made enough money'. Salary caps! That sounds American.
We already know that Obama doesn't think the police in Cambridge, MA are capable of following the law -- now he thinks the police in Arizona are ready to run wild. In this amazing audio clip, he tells the story of what this law means to regular citizens out for an ice cream...and it's scary! Glenn plays the audio and reacts on radio today.

On Monday, we gave you a story and explained that you can't have financial regulation done by the crooks and thieves we currently have in Washington, D.C. The best way I can explain it is with George Clooney.
The Time 100 World's most influential people list is out, among the luminaries to make the list are Ashton Kutcher, Ron Bloom, Bill Clinton, Phil Mickelson, and Glenn Beck. As if being on the list wasn't cool enough, Sarah Palin (also on the list) did the write up.
Founder's Fridays begins this week on TV! Glenn gives a preview of the treasure trove of information this show will include with an interview of author and minister David Barton. David brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, especially with the Founding Fathers. Check out the fascinating interview on radio today.
Glenn talked more about the bill that could put Puerto Rico on the fast track to becoming the 51st state in America. Progressive groups are pulling out every trick in the book to make sure the next vote goes in favor of statehood. Even some Republicans are throwing their support behind this bill. Find out why.

I want to talk to you about the fundamental transformation of America. It could happen tomorrow.
Pat Toomey is on the phone from Pennsylvania. Hello, Pat...
It seems as though it was only yesterday when Democrats and leftists were all together and all aghast at the horrifying use of the term "Nazi." It seems like it was just yesterday when it may have been last week, when they were all together standing hand in hand singing Kumbayah, aghast at the use of swastikas by people. "That is not political debate," they cried. Nancy Pelosi could not believe what she was seeing.
Now, there are those in Washington that are fighting for a reduction of that power, but there are very few of them.

Because Arizona has taken the audacious step to make illegal immigration illegal, some lawmakers are calling for companies to boycott the state. The opposition to this law is quite confusing - what is it they are upset about exactly? Some politicians are now saying this law is reminiscent of Nazi Germany. Wait, didn't the left say it's out of bounds to make Nazi comparisons?
Mike Lee is one of the leading candidates taking on the constitutionally challenged Bob Bennett from Utah. Glenn talked to the challenger on radio today and examined his views, understanding of the constitution, and his outlook. Listen to the interview to find out if it ends well, or not so well.
Faith, hope and charity: We used to seek God's blessings on the country, we used to pursue maximum freedom to solve problems and we'd rely on one another in times of need.

It's campaign time again! Miss it? Obama released this short web video where he tries to rally support for Democrats in the 2010 election similar to the turnout in the 2008 election. Who does Obama think is the most important?
Apparently not ashamed they are breaking the law, 'illegal' immigrants and proponents of illegal immigration took to the streets over the weekend to protest having the follow laws in the state of Arizona. The protests, quite unlike the tea parties, turned violent - which seems to be a pattern from the left that the media continues to ignore. Glenn talks about what should be done with illegal immigration on radio today.
What's the difference? Equal justice is what we used to have in America, social justice is what progressives want in the new America. Equal justice means if Charlie Rangel doesn't pay his taxes, then pays the fine with campaign money - he goes to jail. But that's not what happens under social justice - how does it work? Glenn has the answer on radio today.
Is it a stretch to say that freedom of speech is under attack in the United States of America?

The left is begging - BEGGING for Tea Parties to lash out in violence. They've been constantly warning people about it, but also constantly humiliated by the footage they are forced to show. It's completely peaceful. Peaceful, polite - but not silent has always been at the heart of the tea party movement, and it must stay that way. First of all, it's clearly the right thing to do, second of all it's a winning strategy. MLK knew this, and he had people who marched with him sign this pledge. Will you sign it now? Glenn reads it on radio today.
As if helping the finest men and women in our country isn't enough of a reward - this charity auction to benefit the Special Ops Warrior Foundation provides unique once in a lifetime opportunities.

Undisputed cable news king Bill O'Reilly was a special guest on radio today to talk about the news of the day, but more importantly to announce that the Bold & Fresh tour is back!
That's the kind of classy organization the United States Government likes to do business with these days, an organization with a CEO that characterizes a peaceful, legitimate movement as a 'bowel movement' just because they disagree politically. As an added bonus, Bertha Lewis of ACORN is a lover of socialism, and some may recall the groups affinity for pimps seeking tax evasion advice. Glenn plays the audio of Bertha and reacts on radio today.
That's what an activist with ALIPAC, a group that says it supports legal immigration, claims is causing Senator Graham to support the democrats in their quest for amnesty. They believe Senator Lindsey Graham has a secret and his hand is forced because he doesn't want the secret to get out. Glenn plays the audio from ALIPAC and reacts on radio.

Most people know about the many speeches Martin Luther King gave and about the peaceful nature of his marches. But what most people don't know is that the media portrayed the movement as dangerous and violent, much in the same way as they are doing with the tea parties of today.
Out of all the things the Founders could have tackled first, they chose freedom of speech.

Glenn was reading the platform of the Constitution of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA (really, who hasn't?) and noticed some striking similarities between their platform and the todays mainstream political discourse. Glenn reads some of the sections on radio today and reacts
The EPA is building an environmental justice team and are seeking the help of the youth in America. Nothing like a little indoctrination courtesy of $10 billion in taxpayer cash. Glenn plays the brazen ad from the EPA chief on radio today.
It's April 20th, which has a certain meaning in the youth culture today. If you don't know, just Google 420 to find out. Larry King interviewed Willie Nelson (yes, it was an ELECTRIC interview) and this, kids, should serve as a lesson to all of America on the damaging effects of smoking pot. Glenn plays the audio and reacts on radio today. (Transcript, Insider Audio) Listening not enough?
Thankfully, America does not have to worry about Glenn becoming the marshmallow in chief anytime soon - even though his past is out in the open, there's just too much baggage for him to make it through the process. Plus, Glenn would add to the deficit solely from the use of the White House pastry chef. But, that doesn't stop Linda from giving her 10 reasons why Glenn should run.

If you've been a long time viewer of this show and listener of my radio show, then you remember a time when the show was based in comedy. We looked at the news of the day and tried to get a point across in the funniest way possible. Today is a different story.
This Is Apple's Next iPhone
Obama's regulatory Czar, Cass Sunstein, wrote a paper in 2008 proposing that the government, when faced with an opposition movement, should employ a team to infiltrate the movement and discredit it. Huh, it's almost like that's exactly what's happening now...
Joe Klein from TIME magazine has apparently figured out that the only way someone will ever read his material is if he writes something mean about Glenn, so he had to look up the word sedition (not kidding) and write it on a napkin and tell Chris Matthews about it. Ironically, the amount of evidence against Glenn would have fit on the same napkin -- he had ZERO examples. Glenn reacts to this charge from this liberal hack.
Let's be honest with ourselves: We have a problem, America. We wanted to believe the lie. But now we have to sober up.

Jim Wallis is a liberal political hack masquerading as a pastor, even though the media presents him as a poor little innocent kitten, being attacked by savage wolf Glenn Beck. What's the real story? Stu sets the record straight in this thrashing of Obama's spiritual advisor/delusional radical Jim Wallis in this editorial for the Washington Post.
Last year Obama mocked the Tea Party protests, and he once again did it this year. He actually had the nerve to say that they should be 'thanking' him...
The comedian and impressionist extraordinaire has a successful show in Vegas, and when Glenn was told he was one of Frank's newest targets - he had to take a listen. Frank says he's still doesn't have Glenn down just yet - but he's certainly getting closer. Check out Glenn's hilarious interview with Frank Caliendo on radio today.
This week has kind of been a primer to get your brain in a different mode of thinking. Because "old think" isn't cutting it anymore. We've been talking about something the people at Cato have put together — drastic budget cut proposals.
Sarah Palin was in Boston yesterday as the featured speaker during a massive Tea Party rally. Of course, CBS and others try and focus on things like 'hey, there were mostly white people there' as if that's really shocking, considering Obama's approval among African Americans is over 90%.

Volcanic ash cloud grounds all flights in the UK and throughout Europe... disruptions could last up to SIX MONTHS
Pat Gray had grown accustomed to life as a normal human being after living in Texas for 9 years - but was abruptly reminded recently that he is far, far from the land of sanity. He attended his first little league meeting here in the northeast, and was stunned to learn that apparently 12 year olds are not mature enough to keep score. Glenn reacts to yet another example of PC parents on radio today.
This week we're making the changes I believe need to happen in order to save America from going broke and if you think America can't go broke, this isn't the show for you. You're in denial.
Apr. 14, 2010
Oh, the hatred! How dare they make something that is illegal - illegal! Already opposition groups are up in arms as Arizona lawmakers passed tough immigration enforcement legislation...
Author of Lone Survivor, Marcus Luttrell, stopped by to speak with Glenn about the increasingly dangerous situation on the border. The drug cartels are becoming more and more brazen with their attacks and are threatening ranchers on the border to cooperate. What does Texan Marcus Luttrell think should be done? Check out the conversation about that and more from radio today.
Steny Hoyer is comparing a tea party alleged incident at the 'kill bill' rally in Washington, DC to holocaust deniers. Even though there is literally not one shred of proof (even a $100,000 reward for evidence has yielded nothing) they claim that the 'n-word' was shouted 15 times during the rally. Glenn has the story on radio today.
Welcome to day two of the beginning of The Plan. What is The Plan? It's all the changes that need to happen to keep America from going broke. These are tough changes. But they must be made...

Science Czar John Holdren was speaking to students about the future of the United States. This is amazing audio - another advisor talking America down and saying we can't be on top forever. Nothing like lowering expectations! But what else would we expect from an advisor to the President who bows at everything that moves (The One just bowed AGAIN). Glenn plays the audio and reacts on radio today.
There are a lot of pull at your heart strings stories to choose from out there - children with terminal illness, children who have lost parents, abused children, hungry children, etc etc. Now, in our nanny state society - what constitutes sympathy is ever changing. This mom apparently thinks it's tragic that her children have had to suffer with dial up speed internet, as opposed to cable internet or DSL.
Glenn talks with Sheriff Arvin West from Hudspeth County in Texas. The violence is increasing and now it's not just on their side of the border. There are dead Americans, which prompted Sheriff West to tell the ranchers in his county 'arm yourselves. As they say, the old story is it's better to be tried by twelve than carried by six, and I don't want to see six people carrying you'.
Hey, if you listen to the White House, there's nothing else to worry about — the worst is behind us!

Glenn has finally arrived!
Remember the good old days of Chairman Mao, when the children's books were littered with propaganda like 'we love labor' because the government was attempting to brainwash them? If you missed those days then you are in luck! The unions are doing their best to bring them back. Glenn plays the latest piece of big government propaganda on radio today.
Every now and then a politician actually understands that progressivism is the real cancer that's destroying America. Glenn had heard some good things about Congressman Paul Ryan and decided to have him on after reading this piece from the Heritage Foundation. Glenn talked to the Congressman on radio today - has he found his new soulmate?

Before the voters did the inevitable and removed him, Bart Stupak has decided to retire. Aren't you crushed? The man who sold his values for Obamacare has decided to leave office voluntarily instead of dealing with the embarrassment of the consequences of his actions...forced unemployment.
Unlike Bart Stupak, voters won't have a chance to decide who replaces Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. That one comes down to President Obama and the left controlled Senate. What could possibly go wrong? Who are the leading contenders? What's Obama's strategy?
Yes, you are correct - there are many more problems than just one with the so called green collar jobs economy. For starters, there are very few self-sustaining green industries that can support an influx of new jobs. It all ends up being subsidized by the government. This month’s Fusion Magazine adds another nail in the green jobs pipe dream: even if there were green jobs - they'd go to China. Why?
Most of America realized Obama's healthcare plan had many defects - first and foremost being the cost. Claiming this bill is deficit neutral is about as laughable as Obama's first pitch the other night. But the defects go far beyond just impracticality - this bill is very arguably unconstitutional. Judge Andrew Napolitano strongly believes this is the case, and makes a persuasive argument exclusively for the Glenn Beck newsletter.

Glenn on the cover of Forbes
I want to talk to you a little bit about restoring America, because that is the question.
Can faith restore America?
First the NYT admitted that Obama's healthcare plan was more about the redistribution of wealth than anything else. Now, the Times is admitting that a key component to the success or failure of Obamacare is denying patient care. After all, too many visits will be costly. Stay home, don't go to the doctor! Yet another from the 'we told you they would do this and they called us ridiculous' file. Glenn breaks it down on radio today.
Obama's numbers are tanking, but at this point he's always matched up against the unnamed candidate. Unnamed candidate always performs well because they have no flaws. Which GOP star can step in and actually win in 2012?
The claim: No proof Barack Obama is a socialist...

The Glenn Beck boycotts are gathering steam
Parents Clamor For Bacon Baby Formula
It stands as one of America’s greatest economic achievements. Reams have been written about The Great Depression but you’ll be hard pressed to find even a mention in most history books of this amazing turnaround.
Perhaps you have heard mention of the boycott Glenn attempts. Supposedly genuine outrage expressed by the American public is popping up everywhere! That is, if by 'everywhere' you mean Obama's circle of friends. Each so called 'boycott' is a direct result of groups created or led by Obama advisor Jim Wallis, Van Jones, and Andy Stern. Proving this is not grassroots - the latest protest includes using the powerful Haiku. Really? Yup. Glenn reads some on radio today.
One of the supposed great hopes of the conservative movement is Tom Coburn - and he may still be one of the guys we need. But he's not exactly helping to rally support when he bashes Fox News and lavishes praise on Nancy Pelosi because she's a nice person. Who cares if she's nice? She's attempting to destroy the country! Glenn talks about the comments on radio today.

Our country needs to be restored; much of it is broken. When you have something of real value, you need to be careful about who you're hiring: Are they going to remodel, restore or tear down?
The United States should consider raising taxes to help bring deficits under control and may need to consider a European-style value-added tax, White House adviser Paul Volcker said on Tuesday.
Let me get right to some audio and video that is being spread around the Internet that I believe needs to be commented on. Here is Michelle Obama. Do we know where she was speaking?
I want to ‑‑ we have to talk about the nuclear ‑‑ no use of nukes, whether they ‑‑ chemical, biological weapons, whatever, they start it, they do ‑‑ whatever. We're never going to use nuclear weapons. That's the most, that's the most dangerous thing I think I've ever heard a president say. Stu is yelling at me. Go ahead, Stu. Come on.

The media is so eager to label Sarah Palin an idiot, they often report on things she's never said. For example, 'I can see Russia from my house' . Never said it. Tina Fey did, however, and that was good enough for the media. Will the media bother to have a little fun with a Democrat who said one of the dumbest things of all time?
Another Democrat who has a proclivity for saying pretty stupid things is Alan Grayson. His recent hits include saying all republicans want sick people to die and that Doctors who oppose Obamacare are racist. His latest idiotic commentary comes as he was talking about the tea party movement.

The 2008 election was supposed to be about change: Yet another politician promising to change the tone in Washington.
No wonder Castro loves this bill so much - one of the healthcare bill's big supporters, Max Baucus, has admitted that the bill really didn't have that much to do with health or care. Here he is speaking about how the bill is really about the redistribution of wealth. Hey, wasn't Glenn called nuts for suggesting this president is all about spreading the wealth?
Failed talk show and television host Ed Schultz was heard today than by more listeners in the history or future of his existence, after Glenn played a clip from the Ed Schultz radio extravaganza. The clip of him begging for the Fairness Doctrine (the only way to save his 'career') not only demonstrates why no one listens to him, it also reveals that he's a liar. Noel Sheppard from Newsbusters has the unfortunate job of listening to Ed everday, and explains to Glenn how Ed was even more pathetic than usual on this day.

The opposition to the health care bill leading up to the vote was well documented. Almost three quarters of Americans opposed the bill in its final form. America got it anyway. We were spanked for opposing it. But how about since it's passed?

Congressman Alan Grayson ran into someone in the other day who apparently knew a bit more about the healthcare bill than he did. When asked about why he would vote for a bill that supported giving taxpayer dollars for treatment of convicted sex offenders, Grayson seemed appalled and had no idea he voted for exactly that.
For years Democrats complained Republicans were using the politics of fear. Now, despite a complete and total lack of actual evidence - Democrats are acting like Tea Party members are going to start committing acts of violence. Citing zero examples, Rep.

Mad Magazine Cover: I 'Loved' Obama
FREE AUDIO: The President spent nearly every ounce of political capital he had to jam this healthcare bill down America's throat. He said himself this bill would make or break his presidency. Now that it's through, one would think he has it made. But, apparently the President isn't satisfied with spanking middle America once. Nope, he's countering immediately with an immigration sucker punch. Glenn explains why the President is giving America the 1-2 combo on radio today.
The 'we hate Glenn' fan club has two new members: James Cameron and Cookie Roberts. James Cameron is apparently still upset over a passing mention Glenn made about the movie director 3 years ago on another network. Cookie Roberts was trying to put together sentences during some scantly watched segment, and she called Glenn a terrorist. Glenn responds to the comments.
Glenn has always been a fiction book junkie, and one of his favorites is best selling author Harlan Coban. He's got another classic out now called 'Caught' and he stopped by the radio program today to talk about what's in his latest can't put down novel.

Carter: They Can’t Call Me The Worst President Anymore!
Everything we see pushed down the throats of the American people right now — TARP, the stimulus, health care, immigration reform, bailouts, cap-and-trade — they all have one thing in common: Their PR campaigns contain two words: "social justice."
Michael Graham joined Glenn to talk about how Obama, his team, and cheerleaders in the media have done everything they can to marginalize, discredit and mock those who attend Tea Party rallies.
Obama has demonstrated that he is really good at pushing back the tea party goers - but despite claims to the contrary, he's not so great at pushing back special interests. In another arrogant speech, bragging about all his accomplishments - Obama celebrates himself while America still suffers.
For the first time in our nation's history a game-changing bill was passed without bipartisan support. Take a look at all the Republicans the Democrats were able to peel away.
Mar. 22, 2010
Barack Obama was so blinded in his pursuit of government healthcare, he apparently forgot about his own advice: you can't govern by jamming something through. So, by his own admission, Barack Obama will no longer be able to effectively govern. Considering the White House is filled with 60's radical type thinkers - things should get very very interesting.
Obama was right - this is change. But do we really want to be Europe? Glenn thanks progressives for finally coming out of hiding - and proving that everything he was saying about them is true...
This a big, big weekend. The health care vote is happening on Sunday and the process (that President Obama doesn't care about) has been so abused that the average person in America has no idea what is even happening.

We're supposedly in the final push for this health care bill; they are going to try and jam it through this weekend...
This special event will feature a spectacular multi-media look at American and New York history.
Nancy Pelosi apparently doesn't have the votes, but it may not matter. Using a maneuver called 'self executing rule' the bill will just be 'deemed' passed by lawmakers. Democrats, are using the appropriately named 'Slaughter' rule -- it's the name of the Democrat who's proposing the idea (Congressman Louise Slaughter) and it just happens to be slaughtering the Constitution. The defense? Republicans have done it too! True - but never on anything near as important as the biggest social bill in the past 50 years.
Tom Hanks shocked many Americans when he said recently that, basically, World War II happened because America was racist and the Japanese were different looking. Hanks may have forgotten about a little event called Pearl Harbor. Yes, Tom - those were Japanese planes.
Glenn talks with Scott Baker about the Insider Extreme exclusive event, The Future of History
With the heat on passing the healthcare bill cranking up, Glenn talks about how the future of America is being decided right now. If you don't want a fundamental transformation of this country, it's essential your patriotism run a little deeper than attending fourth of July parades and setting off some fireworks. If this bill passes, we will never get rid of it.
Changing how Washington works, for the worse.
As this administration inexplicably saddles the country with more debt, more entitlement programs and even more spending, it's clear: What we are becoming is not who we are.

Ordinary Americans changing course of the nation
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs came out over the weekend and guaranteed healthcare reform will pass. That's great news - if you are a radical Marxist who wants to destroy the country from the inside out. They are pulling out all the stops to get this thing passed - including a spike in sad kids health stories. Surely, these wouldn't exist if we just had Obamacare. It's doubtful 22 year olds would be dying of thirst while in the hospitals. Right?
That was the headline in Time over the weekend, as they pondered Glenn's social justice commentary progressives are trying to twist in order to smear him. Now, suddenly, Time seems like they are religious zealots who suddenly care about defending God's good name. Today, Glenn talks with Scott Baker from Breitbart.tv, and they take a closer look at man behind the attacks. Would anyone be shocked if the man leading the charge is a close Obama advisor? Of course not!

Patrick Kennedy went nuts on the floor this week, yelling at the media for not reporting on the war. In a Howard Dean-esque moment, he charged the press has been negligent reporting on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He wants an immediate end to the wars, but his point is correct... where IS this media? The same media that couldn't stop reporting on the war while Bush was in office?
Glenn mentioned the Woodie Guthrie classic American hit song on TV last night, and so many people were shocked to learn that this song is actually communist propaganda. Glenn goes over the words to the song, and once your brain stops mindlessly singing and actually processing the lyrics, it's quite shocking. For good measure, Glenn also reads the 'American' classic 'Born in the U.S.A' by Springsteen. What do the songs actually mean? Glenn explains on radio today...

Red Eye's Robots Rip Bill Maher for Wishing Glenn Beck Dead
Glenn spoke with Michelle Malkin on radio today to talk about the interview and Massa's (lack of a) future.
Nancy Pelosi must be getting desperate - she trotted out the rarely used, and even more rarely successful, sales tactic of 'hey, vote for healthcare and THEN we'll tell you what's in it!'. Generally people like to know what's in the box before opening it - but that's not swaying Pelosi. Glenn reacts to Pelosi's crazy new approach.

Video from Glenn's interview with former New York congressman Eric Massa
Democratic Congressman Eric Massa from New York resigned on Monday. He says Democrats ran him out because he was against health care. Let me make this clear: My interview with Massa is not because he's on my side on health care; he wants single payer health care. We don't agree. In fact, we don't agree on pretty much anything.
Government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to promote efforts to count all Americans, but does the government want more than just a head count?

Check out the segment from hour 2 of the program today.

Congressman Eric Massa, a Democrat from New York, finds himself directly under the bus. He was kicked to the curb by democrats because he didn't support the healthcare bill or cap and trade. Democrats are using an ethics violation to toss him under the bus. Is this guy a dirtbag? Probably - it's not exactly uncommon in Washington DC. But do his transgressions make what he's saying about Washington untrue? Glenn reacts to the Massa controversy today and why this is the conversation America needs to have.
Tomorrow at 5p ET: Congressman Massa for the full hour. I just spoke with him off air. All Americans need To hear him. Exclusive tomorrow on Fox News.
The RNC did a powerpoint presentation that just hacked Glenn off because the big strategy they came up with was to play on people's fears. Does that mean the RNC doesn't really think our country is sliding into socialism? Or going broke? Glenn talks with Marco Rubio from Florida, who is doing well in the polls precisely because he doesn't listen to the RNC, about the latest nonsense from Republicans.
There's a battle for the hearts and minds of your children. While you're busy trying to make a living and navigate through the daily madness piling up all around you, progressives are working on indoctrinating America's youth, your kids.

Obama's healthcare reform will cause trouble no matter if it's passed or not. Glenn warns that if it is passed - that puts the structure in place for progressives to control every aspect of your life. They'll regulate guns, carbon and anything else in the name of healthcare. But, if it doesn't pass - the radical leftists will be angry and, if the education protests of today are any indication, there could be violent outbursts.
What a shocker, government officials put their minds together and decided a new tax was the way to go. Glenn reacts
A series of nationwide rallies to billed to 'save' education took place across the country, with protesters flashing catchy slogans like 'education is a right''. But is it really a 'right' to have education from kindergarten through post grad? Glenn, Pat and Stu all talk about their college experience and who is really behind these protests.
Glenn speaks with former Marxist revolutionary David Horowitz on the mentality of the far left groups behind these protests. Horowitz also touches on what could really happen if these far left groups, who have been promised healthcare and just about everything else, don't get what they want. How bad could it get? Check out todays radio interview.

Glenn plays some amazing audio from SEIU President Andy Stern, who was talking about the way politics works in America today. He summed up everything wrong with our politicians and inadvertently revealed the answer as to why healthcare is being forced through...
On radio today, Glenn talked with one of the extreme minorities in Washington D.C. - a good guy. Senator Jim Demint, who amazingly is from the same state that thought it was a good idea to elect Senator Lindsey Graham, wrote an op-ed today for the Washington Times on how the White House just made a massive land grab.

Something happened during Monday's show. I heard a line from one of the communists that we played on the air that makes the point clearly about what we've been talking about here.
I'm busy working and here's my staff just goofing off!!
SEIU President Andy Stern has appeared on camera several times to explain his vision for America. The man who leads the league in White House visits has a lot of ideas - unfortunately most of those ideas sound like a Karl Marx daydream.
It seems incomprehensible that the same state to bring America solid conservative Jim Demint would be the same state to bring us Lindsey Graham. He's one of those progressive republicans that Glenn loves so much - and Graham didn't help himself by making a John Kerry esque statement on Cap and Trade this week.

Van Jones finally came out of hiding and is now on a nationwide image repair tour -- and while speaking at the NAACP Image Awards Jones had a few things to say to Glenn. There is a lot of audio of Jones - because the media is happy to give this communist a microphone - and that's great, because in America free speech is allowed. Can't say the same for those wonderful communist countries. Check out Glenn's reaction to Jones "I see you and I love you" declaration.

The ever eloquent Hannan talks with Glenn about the event and about history on today's radio program.

So the healthcare debates have finally come to C-SPAN ... but, Glenn was correct in predicting it would essentially be a bunch of political grandstanding.

Progressives don't want you to read real history. But in order to get out of the mess we are currently in, it's imperative to understand how we got here.
It seems like it was not long ago that Van Jones was shamed into resigning his gig from the White House because it was revealed he was a 9/11 truther...
The top brass at Toyota were dragged with their tails between their legs into Washington D.C. to be part of a dog and pony show on their embarrassing recall. The real problem here is conflict of interest - because the government owns GM. This is akin to Shell calling Exxon before America and telling them how naughty they've been.

Not everyone loved Glenn's CPAC speech
Anyone watching 24 this season? It's tremendous as usual - but Glenn and Pat found an analogy with the most agonizing story line of the season. One of the special agents is being blackmailed by an ex-boyfriend, and she decides to go along with a crazy scheme instead of just turning herself in. How does this relate to the current healthcare debate (Obama today kept the healthcare bill alive)?

On Saturday, I've been honored to give the keynote at CPAC. It's this big yearly event for conservatives. Previous speakers include Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney — Ronald Reagan spoke at it like a billion times.
Glenn is making his speaking debut at the biggest venue for conservatives - the CPAC convention in Washington DC. Rush spoke there last year, Reagan spoke there several times - and Glenn is both honored and excited to be there this year.
Bill Maher was up to his old tricks again, calling the American people stupid and saying the just don't understand the issues. Perhaps Maher doesn't realize that he is also (allegedly) an American - which would mean he just called himself stupid - but the point is this is what progressives believe. You are incapable of making decisions on your own.
Tiger Woods gave his highly anticipated first public statement since the November 27th car crash outside his home in Florida and the subsequent details of multiple affairs.

I have told you before: When something bad happens — when someone grabs a gun or like today does something crazy — it does not help the republic, they hurt the republic.
Is there ever a time when it's 'as expected' from the experts on the economy? Given the way our government continues to spend and grow and ignore the will of the people, it shouldn't exactly be a shocker that unemployment climbs. Glenn has more on the economy from radio today...
An independent study out today confirms many of Glenn's worst suspicions -- that no matter what Joe Biden says about the 20th Century we are in for some bumpy times ahead - EVEN IF we come out of the recession. How could that be?
Glenn gives you his must read list...

Let's rewind the clocks to one year ago. America needed the stimulus package. We couldn't live without it. That's what our leaders were telling us...
Presidential dog "Bo" learns his first trick...
It's been a great year, hasn't it? Filled with jobs and a booming economy, and it's all thanks to the stimulus. Well, no, but that sure is the way the administration made it sound today...
Why not? It's all the rage with progressives. Everyone laughs off the slippery slope argument, but when tied to government healthcare and suddenly having bureaucrats decide who gets care and who doesn't, it suddenly isn't so funny. Glenn talks about the issue on radio this morning.
It's a common trend for Progressives - pretend to be inclusive, big tent, and loving of all diverse opinion and thought. They just want diversity. However, there is one small catch to that. Diversity apparently does not include the 'diseased' minds of conservatives. Glenn has more from radio this morning.
Glenn responded on radio and in this latest video blog to being called a liar by Rachel Maddow. Instead of being ashamed of her intellectual dishonesty, she went full steam ahead and actually played the entire video blog on her show, claiming Glenn is hiding the 'evidence' he thinks one snowstorm disproves global warming. One problem: Glenn clearly addressed her so called 'evidence' (a joke Glenn made) on the radio program, which has 8 million listeners. Not exactly how most would define hiding something.

If you think I'm a gloom and doom kind of guy, then the conversation we had last night made me look like the poster child for Pollyanna syndrome.
Sadie the Scottie Wins Best in Show
The New York Times has come out today with a 12 page - yes, 12 page article on the tea party movement. Sounds promising at first - hey, the media actually noticed the tea parties! It takes all but a sentence before realize this article doesn't exactly capture the true image of the what the tea parties are all about. What does the Times really think? Glenn reads some of the article on radio today.
When everything else fails, go back to your bread and butter. That's what the Obama team is doing, and they've laid out their 3 step plan to making people not despise this administration anymore...
Feb. 15, 2010
Barack Obama statue removed from Jakarta park
Global warming dominated the headlines this weekend - and that's not a good thing for the alarmists. Some of the prominent scientists in the warming community are saying, among other things, that there is actually no consensus. Kind of an important detail there, don't ya think? It's all falling apart for the alarmists, but that's not stopping the Cap and Tax bill from moving forward.
Apparently Al is snowbound, trapped inside one of his mansions with nothing better to do, because he's writing poems again. Because what better to move Global Warming from dead last in issue concern than to write poems. Glenn checks out the new science poem and, not to spoil the fun, but the words 'Neptune's bones dissolve' may or may not appear in the poem.
Another appearance, another meltdown for Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC. He went crazy back in 04 during the election, and once again was up to his old tricks. The ironic part is he was trying to bash Bush's foreign policy - perhaps he hasn't noticed that the Obama defense to war hawks has been 'we're doing everything like Bush did' on fighting terror. What happened to change?
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California has now identified with certainty the heaviest element known to science.

I feel like I'm becoming my grandfather: You kids today! You just don't get it. We used to sleep on razor-wire beds and eat nails for breakfast. And we liked it!
Glenn sparked a political firestorm in Texas when candidate Debra Medina came on the program and didn't handle the oh-so tough 'surprise' question of who attacked us on 9/11...
Considering nearly all of America is seeing snow, with some parts getting absolutely pounded with snow, the global warming alarmists are in full spin mode. Howard Dean, among others, are attacking 'skeptics' by saying one bout of snow doesn't disprove global warming. Why doesn't that 'science' hold up? Glenn plays the audio of what alarmists have cited as proof of global warming.
What's the real science behind Global Warming? Glenn turns to one of brilliant minds that created SuperFreakonomics - Stephen Dubner. What does one of the must trusted names in truth say about the global warming debate?
Feb. 11, 2010
Glenn focused in on state politics for a segment to interview the so called Tea Party candidate from Texas. But, the interview took a turn for the worse when Debra Medina dropped the instant-loss of endorsement bomb that she was a 9/11 truther. Not good.
Audi raised eyebrows during the Super Bowl when they ran a commercial mocking the Green community. The ad featured the Green Police, who were running around busting people for having the wrong light bulbs, bottles and so on. Great ad -- and it was actually a lot closer to reality than many first realized.
In the perfect snapshot of the trophy for all mentality our country has evolved into, a school district is giving away Ipods to parents who fill out a form. Glenn talks about the something for nothing culture on radio this morning.
Feb. 10, 2010
Chilling aerial photos of 9/11 attack released
To progressives, the agenda is more important than the truth. Americans are starting to see through the lies and question every claim made by the media and our government.
Glenn is very concerned, because Al Gore has suddenly vanished from the public scene. It's almost like he's trying to lay low as the country is pounded with massive snowstorms...

Mystery swirls around George W. Bush 'Miss me yet?' billboard
The New York Times is doing their best to cover the spending tracks left by President Obama. The op-ed, titled "The Truth About the Deficit" could win gold in mental gymnastics. They bend, twist and contort the facts into a pretty little ball of "blame Bush."
Glenn played some of the most amazing words from Barack Obama to date on radio this morning. He was talking about someone who worked on his campaign and, sadly, suffered with cancer. She lost the battle. With a straight face, the President of the United States actually said THIS: "And she insisted she's going to be buried in an Obama T‑shirt." Watch the stunning video here and check out Glenn's reaction on radio today.
When a valley girl stumbles into politics, it's never pretty. Meghan McCain took to 'The View' recently, trying to show that like, shopaholics can so totally be involved in politics. The problem with this, is like, she so totally is filled with arrogance and displays an astonishing lack of respect for the elderly. Glenn plays the audio. America weeps. Glenn responds.
Feb. 8, 2010
There was another Super Bowl ad that ran; perhaps you caught it. It was for the census. Yes, our government spent 2.5 million taxpayer dollars on a commercial during the Super Bowl. Hey, I don't know about you, but I really am excited to participate in the census now. How about you?
What will it take to get America back to what our Founders intended? The problems are clear: big government, progressive agendas weighing down the system and bankrupting it. Clearly the politicians aren't doing anything about it - so it's up to you. Get informed. Get involved. Do what the progressives have done for the last 100 years (to ruin it) -- and get started fixing things one baby step at a time. Glenn announces the event he hopes will give Americans the information they need to return this country to it's founding principles.

I want to focus on what puts states with progressive policies at greater risk than states with more conservative ideals — and who is in deeper trouble.

First Lady Michelle Obama has picked childhood obesity as her issue to battle for. A noble cause, for sure - but no one expected she'd single out her kids as being obese, especially considering they don't exactly look very big. Glenn plays the audio and reacts - then dives into a discussion on BMI. How healthy is Glenn? He goes over the disturbing numbers on radio this morning.
Nancy Pelosi had some harsh words for the President on the lack of jobs - even as the unemployment numbers dipped slightly. Pelosi told the President he was the worst since Herbert Hoover on jobs, adding "Job losses are taking a real toll on the financial security of American families" while noting that "while the national unemployment rate dropped slightly, it still stands at a near record high." Only one problem: these were Pelosi's words to President Bush in 2003. Ooops.
On 'The View' Whoopi Goldberg was wondering why anyone cared that the Tim Tebow pro-life commercial was airing during the Super Bowl -- a very good observation. That's when mental giant Joy Behar chimed in to educate the American people on why it's offensive. She argued that "he could just as easily have become some kind of a rapist pedophile. I mean, you don't know what someone's going to be." There's some grade A logic right there. Glenn does his best to try to keep up with the intellectually gifted Behar on radio this morning.

Sculpture sells for record $104.3 million
What did Iran do this week? President Ahmadinejad announced Iran will deliver a "telling blow" to global powers on Feb 11 (the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution). Yes, he did do that. But that's not the latest.
If you know the mind of a progressive, the shocking audio clip Glenn played this morning on radio wouldn't be that shocking. They employ a' who cares how you play the game, just win' mentality to everything. Even kids. Glenn plays the clips of OFA commercials where children are talking about how they need to educate their uninformed parents and get them to vote Obama.
Normally when a President decorates the Oval Office and the White House - it's filled with pictures that tell the story of the building of America. President's like to be reminded of where we came from and who we are. That trend appears to have come to an abrupt halt. President Obama must like to be reminded of himself, because apparently that's about the only pictures you can find in the White House today.
The President hasn't been exactly the model church attender lately. According the ABC News he's been 3 times in a year. But he did attend a prayer breakfast -- which ended up turning into some sort of bizarre political speech. Glenn plays the audio and reacts to the Presidents prayer breakfast commentary.

America repeating same mistakes that led to fall of previous world superpower
Right-wing Dutch MP Geert Wilders said on Wednesday that freedom of speech in his country was threatened, as he went on trial in Amsterdam charged with inciting hatred and discrimination against Muslims.
Hubble telescope captures image of mysterious x-shaped object in space
During this healthcare debate, there's one little fact that is quietly left out of the argument. America has the best healthcare system in the world. Problems? Yes. But it's still the best. The evidence of this becomes clearer each time the leader of a country with socialized medicine (like Italy) has to fly to America for their healthcare. The latest example of this comes from Canada.
Harry Reid is not a happy camper today, after President Obama once again took a jab at the city of Las Vegas, lecturing the American public not to waste their money there during tough economic times.
Author Ben Sherwood was on radio this morning, as his great book 'Survivors Club' is out in paperback today. The book covers survivor stories of every kind, draws insight from the survivors themselves, and shows the attributes common to all of them. Want to know if you would be the person who walks away from a deadly event? Find out on radio this morning.

What happens when you morph Lindsey Graham and Nancy Pelosi? The results are not pretty...
We need to stop living in a fantasy. America has fundamentally changed: We're not going back to where it was unless we admit we have a problem. And it's all based on one word: debt.
Just like the last time Glenn said it, this slaughter wasn't a literal one. This time it was referring to the war of words - and Glenn's words absolutely slaughtered Arianna's words (not literally, Arianna). In perhaps one of the worst points brought up the history of punditry, Huffington tried to accuse Glenn of inciting violence because he said the word 'slaughter' in a monologue on the economy. Glenn tears apart (not literally, Arianna) the argument on radio this morning.
Just so Media Matters isn't confused, Joe Klein was not actually 'destroyed' by Bill O'Reilly. The two had a conversation and Klein did his best to humiliate himself. He tried to bash Glenn but tossed out accusations so ridiculous it clearly, CLEARLY proved Klein has no brain (yes, literally Joe).
Feb. 1, 2010
Does anyone have a Zoloft? President Obama's budget for Fiscal Year 2011 was unveiled on Monday. It's $3.8 trillion and the deficit is projected to shoot up to a record $1.6 trillion this year.
A few weeks ago, we covered the latest scandal with the IPCC, the climate arm of the UN. It seems they were sourcing the imminent melting of glaciers to an off handed comment in a phone conversation, NOT peer reviewed science.
President Obama bows to Tampa Mayor
Glenn was a topic of discussion on one of the Sunday talk shows this week when Arianna Huffington said Glenn was 'inciting violence' on the airwaves. Besides the obvious evidence to refute this point (ZERO violent acts), there's a little hypocrisy in play here as well...
Progressives believe in the ends justifies the means - in other words, they don't care what they do to reach the goal, so long as they reach the goal. Re-writing history is something progressives have no problem with, but they usually wait a little longer than this to start re-writing. Now they are actually trying to co-opt the tea party movement and say that the recent protests are part of their 'populist' movement. Glenn explains the nonsense on radio today.
America was once the undisputed leader in the world. People around the globe would look to us for guidance in the face of crisis and help in a time of need. Glenn plays the words of a leader who spoke on America's declining role in the world, and how it may not be long before we are not only 'going it alone' but we may also be swimming upstream.

The White House will predict a record budget deficit in the current fiscal year and more big shortfalls for the next decade in its upcoming budget proposal, a congressional source told Reuters on Sunday.
Beck vs. Blitzer vs. Matthews Cable News Ratings
All week we've been wondering which president would show up at the State of the Union Address. Would it be the, "Hey, people aren't digging my agenda; triangulate and move to the center" Obama? Or would it be the arrogant, "Do it my way" progressive Obama?
Jan. 30, 2010
John Huntsman is one of Glenn's favorite people. He founded the Huntsman Cancer Institute, which has been doing amazing work fighting one of the worst diseases.
Jan. 29, 2010
Glenn would like to announce that tonights shows in Tampa, Florida caused the President to look for another venue to announce his wasting $1.3 billion on a high speed rail connecting Tampa and Orlando. He feels really, really, really, really badly about that. Sort of.
This caller took Glenn up on his advice: start learning (or re-learning) history. Most people are so comfortable with the freedoms we currently enjoy that we forget how it is we got here. Steve in Arizona went back and started with the Constitution and came to the conclusion that Glenn is not radical enough. Find out why and listen to the call from radio this morning.
Perhaps someone with the intellect of Barack Obama should have known that moving a 9/11 terror trial to New York City wasn't the best idea in the world. Finally, the President has caved in and it has been reported that he ordered the Justice Department to find new places to hold the trial. Glenn has a suggestion for the President as to where the trial should be held. Find out where, listen to Glenn talk about it on radio this morning.
Jan. 28, 2010
Glenn could only come to one conclusion after the arrogant display President Obama put on last night -- he must think you are stupid. He pitched a spending freeze while also advocating for cap and trade, high speed rails, government healthcare and more programs we just cannot afford. Glenn goes over some of the audio from last night and reacts on radio this morning.
Chris Matthews gave America (at least tens of tens of people in America who watch his show) a window into his hateful soul last night, when he proclaimed that he 'forgot' for an hour that the President was black. That means the rest of the time Chris Matthews only thinks about Barack Obama based on his color. Surely liberal and progressive bloggers will act immediately to get this hatemonger off the air! Glenn plays the audio of Matthews hate speech on radio today.

Watch Glenn Beck weekday's at 5p and 2a ET on the Fox News Channel...
Nothing quite exemplifies government waste quite like the State of the Union address. It's three minutes of actual information surrounded by about 45 minutes of clapping...
Last night on TV Glenn highlighted the stupidity of an article by Joe Klein of Time - where he said conservatives were stupid for not supporting the stimulus because they didn't even know about that 'magical' $60-$80' arriving in your paycheck courtesy of Uncle Sam. How could you ever miss $60 in your paycheck? And how could you miss all the liberals dancing in the streets over their new found fortune? Klein inflicted his stupidity on more Americans yesterday as he appeared on The View.
Glenn talks about how, despite the amazing history of this country, intellectuals STILL try and sway this country towards a European model. How and why do allegedly smart people NOT see the very system they promote doesn't work anywhere - and the greatest country in the world became the greatest by fleeing the Europe mentality.
Indonesia mulls tearing down Obama statue
Jan. 26, 2010
A posting by Time Magazine's Joe Klein caught my eye yesterday. Essentially, he said you're stupid.
The politicians flocked to Copenhagen last month in a doomed effort at making climate change legislation - thank God they completely failed. But, the failure comes at a cost -- taxpayer money wasted on all the politicians who just had to make the trip to Denmark. We all know just how bad government is at keeping costs to a minimum -- but just how bad was it in Copenhagen?
Progressives, ever since their coming out party in the early 20th century and subsequent failed policies, have quietly crept back into power over the last 100 years. Now, they are threatening to purge the regular democrats out of the party, because they see the finish line - a chance to enact all the progressive policies their collective little hearts desire.

I'm going to get to all the news of the day — and there's a ton of it — but this year, this show is going to be different again.
'Diff'rent Strokes' fan bails Coleman out of jail
Glenn talked late last year that the program would be taking on a new direction, and after making the final arguments on what we are facing as a nation - it's time to focus in on the solutions. Today, Glenn talked about that solution and what it's going to take to keep America and it's founding principles safe from those who seek to fundamentally transform to United States of America. Restoring honor will be the focus of 2010, and Glenn hopes you will join him on August 28th, 2010 to be part of history at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for the Restoring Honor Rally.
When polls show nearly 1 out of ever 2 voters in Massachusetts said their main concern was healthcare, and nothing else was even close, the White House would have been best advised to let that embarrassing loss fade into the night. They've taken the opposite tactic, and are trying to spin something that cannot possibly be spun. Glenn highlights the ridiculous attempts to save face by Democrats.
Glenn talks with Congressman Ron Paul on radio this morning on a few key economic issues and on his comments in the press that there has been a coup at the CIA and they basically run the military. He doesn't always get a fair shake in the press, so Glenn gives Congressman Paul a chance to explains his comments in a little more detail, before discussing the economy.

Of course, there is no outcry when the left displays their sexism for all to see. In a joint interview on the Dom Giordano program (1210 WPHT Philadelphia) Senator Specter asked Bachmann what solutions she had. When she said lower taxes to stimulate the economy rather than government spending, Specter called her answer 'simplistic' (translation: stupid). She tried to respond and that's when Specter's idiocy spilled out. Glenn plays the audio and responds on radio this morning.
It's a sad, sad day for the fives and tens of Americans that listened to the progressive radio network Air America. They declared bankruptcy in a press release that also explained why they folded. It was simple: 'our company cannot escape the laws of economics". That was a more diplomatic way of saying 'Our programming was complete crap, plus the DNC was done using us'. Glenn delivers a moving eulogy for the now (and always) lifeless network.
Michelle Bachmann called in to react to the altercation with Specter Wednesday night.

Here's how President Obama summed up Tuesday's massive political earthquake in Massachusetts...
As if there needed to be proof that tabloids are ridiculous, the latest evidence comes from a report that claimed Glenn is 'furious' that Sarah Palin is trying to take his 5pm slot on Fox.
The chairman of the NAAPC, Julian Bond, came out and said that Martin Luther King was a socialist. Glenn finds the timing of this interesting - is it the nuclear option for the uber left? Glenn explains how imaging MLK as a socialist is a desperate attempt at saving Obama's disastrous first term.

New Nuclear Power Plants coming to Kentucky?
A huge victory in Massachusetts and Americans all across the country who were uncomfortable with either party having a supermajority. Glenn is believed to be the first conservative commentator to officially rain on the Scott Brown parade, after taking issue with some comments Brown made during his victory speech. What did he say that caused Glenn to play conservative buzz kill today?
Glenn talks with radio host Jay Severin, who was in the room with Scott Brown when he received word of victory and when he got the call from Barack Obama. Kudos to Brown who asked Obama if it was ok to bring the pickup truck to D.C. - and obvious slam on Obama's failed elitist attempts to make fun of people with pickup trucks. Glenn gets more insight from Jay on radio this morning.
Those two words don't exactly go together, and believe it or not America actually has a Government Accountability Office. It's believed they play ping pong most of the day but that's just a rumor - Glenn talks with the former head of the GAO, David Walker, who always brings great insights to the true financial stability of our country.

Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of this program and Wednesday marks the one-year anniversary of President Obama's first year in office. I think we've had the exact opposite experiences: Obama's lost 15 pounds. Me? I look like a polar bear/human hybrid.
Many thought they'd never live to see the day where a Republican would hold a Senate seat in Massachusetts. Live till tomorrow and you may actually see it -- because Scott Brown is on the verge of rocking politics as we know it in the United States.
Host of Mad Money Jim Cramer joined the program today to talk about the topic of his new book - Getting Back to Even. Many people are used to earning big profits on investments and are disappointed when yields aren't high. But, getting back to even isn't always a bad thing. Cramer talks with Glenn on radio this morning about that and other topics, such as the Massachusetts election.
Glenn talks about the coming documentary special this week titled 'The Revolutionary Holocaust'

Glenn Beck on The O'Reilly Factor, Jan 15, 2010
Jan. 15, 2010
It was so predictable yet still so breathtaking at the same time.
Jon Stewart reverted back to his old bread and butter last night: making fun of cable news hosts. He had a little fun with Glenn's interview of Sarah Palin, which is a totally understandable move for Stewart to make considering the intellectual beating he took from former Deputy Attorney General JohnYoo. Yoo is the guy liberals love to blame for expanding torture laws -- and since they believe it's horrible to keep a terrorist up past night night time they do not like Yoo much. Watch Stewart get schooled, and then go back to his old tricks. Glenn comments on this and his placement on the 'most influential' list of conservatives.
Now that there is an actual race happening in the state Glenn cannot pronounce correctly, Massachusetts, Democrats have suddenly lost the sense of urgency to refill Kennedy's seat. Glenn talks about the efforts being made to stall finding a replacement for Kennedy and how this fits in with the 'ends justify the means' mentality of our Constitution hating, modern day Progressives.
Glenn Beck continues his discussion on race with an examination of Sen. Reid's comments about Barack Obama
Jan. 14, 2010
Glenn met Sarah Palin face to face for the first time yesterday, and then interviewed her for a full hour on Fox News.
Oh, what's the big deal - so the White House official who is overseeing the weatherizing aspects funded by the stimulus chose the little known window company her husband just happens to work at. Conflict of interest? Noooooooo way. Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along. Unfortunately for the White House, John Stossel did NOT move along and he uncovered the shameless connection. Stossel and Glenn talked about it on radio this morning.
In what is shaping up to be a battle between a tea party type conservative against a progressive type republican, Marco Rubio is setting his sights on the United States Senate against Charlie Crist. Glenn talks with Rubio on radio this morning to get an idea on where he stands on the issues and if he's the kind of candidate who won't sell his soul as soon as he gets to Washington.
Norah O'Donnell is under fire for tweeting about trivial and indulgent luxuries like pedicures, while the people of Haiti suffer and die. Why does she hate Haiti so much? Ok, she's not really under fire -that would be the dumbest charge a human being could ever make. Which is why Norah O'Donnell is in the running for the dumbest human being award, because it's the exact charge she made on Glenn and Sarah Palin. What'd she tweet?
Jan. 13, 2010
Glenn Beck sits down for the first time ever with Sarah Palin on Fox News...
Glenn has interviewed Governor Palin many times, but he's never met her face to face. Tonight that all changes...
The green movement pulled the final straw on Glenn when their cheap, crappy products trickled down to Poland Springs water bottles. The new bottles don't even stand up, which of course causes problems. The rush to go green is having an unfortunate side effect - nearly every single new green product sucks. If they were good, the need for mandates to get new light bulbs wouldn't exist. Glenn rants on green products and more on radio this morning.
Glenn will be giving the keynote speech on February 20th at the annual CPAC Convention in Washington, DC.
Jan. 12, 2010
Barack Obama is talking about taxing those big, bad evil bankers to make up for losses on the bailouts and he's reviewing end of the year bonuses; can't have those greedy bankers making any profits — oh no.
President Obama sure sounded like he was for the everyman on the campaign trail when he pledged 'no taxes' on 95% of working Americans. Of course, he doesn't seem to count indirect taxation as a tax. For example, when he breaks his promise and decides to go through with a tax on so called Cadillac insurance plans, that is a tax on millions of Americans. And contrary to popular believe, subscribing to a Cadillac plan doesn't necessarily mean you are a fat cat millionaire. Many people sacrifice elsewhere in order to have a great health plan for their families. This will break their backs.
It's what progressives do best - take away your individual liberties and choices so they can choose for you. After all, the greedy self centered individual may mean well, but they will always choose what's better for them rather than society. That's what progressives believe. Which is why it should come as no shock that government now wants to monitory and control how much salt we put on our foods. Glenn reacts to yet another governmental intrusion.
The current decade long cooling trend has thrown a wrench into the alarmists trying to sell America the 'we are burning up' tale. It's a little tough to buy the globe is warming when there is snow in Florida.
Remember how politicians reacted when gas prices skyrocketed? They called out the greedy fat cats from 'big oil' and threatened to confiscate their 'windfall' profits. President Obama is again threatening the banks with a massive tax to penalize those evil bankers for any profits they make. But what happens when news breaks that The Fed had a record breaking year and made more in windfall profits than Exxon Mobil? You guessed it. Silence. Glenn, Pat and Stu talk about that on today's radio program.
Jan. 11, 2010
Talk about a poor name for your product...
Is it me or has anyone else noticed that Marxism has suddenly become "cool" in America?
News broke this weekend that Senator Harry Reid, during the election, described Senator Obama as 'light skinned' and commented that he had no 'negro' qualities. Is this 1810 or 2010? Take a wild guess as to what the reaction from the left has been. Is it A) Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, President Obama and other democrats calling for Reid to step down, or B) Harry Reid gets a pass. If you said 'B', you are correct! Another shining example of liberal hypocrisy.
A caller hit the nail right on the head as far as what direction Glenn is taking the program in 2010. Linda in Arizona called the program today and talked about the issue most concerning to her and something she's passionately trying to educate others on. What did she talk about that Glenn said was close to the direction this show is taking in 2010? Check out Linda's call from today's radio program.
I don't know if I've ever told you how I began my journey to believe the things I do. It's funny to be called a conspiracy theorist because I've always made fun of conspiracy people. But there's a point when conspiracy is not a conspiracy; it's just true.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid apologized to President Barack Obama on Saturday for comments he made during the 2008 presidential campaign that critics find racially offensive.

President Obama delayed his speech yesterday on the recent security failures in the war on terror to an interesting time: 5pm eastern. It's a very rare time to speak, and probably just a coincidence that he started at the same time Glenn's show begins. Pat Gray filled in for Glenn on radio and talked about the odd timing plus John McCain's sudden awareness that Obama is leading America towards bankruptcy. Where was this, say, two years ago John?
It's unclear if Al Gore still thinks the science on global warming is settled, considering the long term cooling trends and our current frigid temperatures around the country and the globe. But America is losing her patience with the environmentalists - first they are caught in emails lying about and exaggerating global warming. Then the products they tout are turning out to to be really, really crappy - like the LED street lights that can't melt snow, thus causing accidents because no one can see them. Pat talks about the latest in the rush to turn America green.
Jan. 7, 2010
While we were on vacation, the president of the United States signed an executive order about the International Criminal Police Organization, also called Interpol.
Instances where reporters actually attempt to report are quite rare these days, but one popped up at the White House when Robert Gibbs was asked about Obama's broken promise on transparency with the healthcare debate. Obama had promised every negotiation would be on C-SPAN. That hasn't happened.
When in New York, anytime someone is carrying a gun - legal or not - the mentality is 'look, a killer!' and it's especially bad when the incident happens at an airport.
On radio today Glenn shared the story of being at Fox News one morning when a man introduced himself. It was a high level census worker. He informed Glenn that he'd be getting a census and he had to fill it out.
Liberal bloggers. It's the lifestyle even rap stars are envious of.

If our politicians are good at one thing, it's addictions. They've got a lot of them: Hookers; mistresses; interns, congressional pages and more...
'Frozen Gore' Sculpture Fuels Debate in Alaska
Wow, things must not be going well in Democrat land for one of the iconic Democratic Senators, Chris Dodd from Connecticut, to up and quit.
C-SPAN is not known for generating excitement, but they did this week when they challenged Democrats to keep their promise and have the healthcare debates open and on C-SPAN. The President spoke yesterday and addressed the concern many citizens have that this bill is being crammed down Americas throat after being worked on in secret.
With the obvious canning of Chris Dodd, the low approval numbers of the President, and the inability to argue the facts on nearly every argument - it's becoming clear that Democrats are in full fledged panic mode. They are desperate, and desperate people act out in often inexplicable ways. Glenn talks about what he thinks is heading our way as a result of the Democrats in panic mode.
Glenn set out intending to compliment Al Franken on his lack of being like Alan Grayson, who is a loud mouthed idiot. But as the compliment was discussed things didn't quite end how Glenn probably thought they would. What's Glenn think of Al's performance so far?
Jan. 5, 2010
I'm going to give you a hard concept to get your arms around: It's the concept that there are people in this country who want to intentionally collapse our economic system.
Do you have your carbon offset?
Glenn came across some shocking polling today that shows Americans have no clue when it comes to America.
Glenn talked with Kurt Haskell today, a lawyer who was on Flight 253, the same flight a terrorist tried to blow up mid flight. As Kurt was waiting in the seating aread to board the plane, something caught his attention. What happened next will boggle your mind as to how in the world this terrorist was ever able to board this plane.
NYT columnist David Brooks kicked off the new year the only way he knew how - by not being conservative. Brooks is the guy who claims to be conservative, then disagrees with everything conservative, causing all non conservatives to say 'even conservatives disagree with conservatives'. Today he was talking about the sour mood of the country kicking off 2010. Does Glenn agree?
It would be shocking for New York Times resident idiot Paul Krugman to be half right on something because he's usually 0% correct. This week Krugman warned Obama on making the same mistakes made during the Great Depression, specifically the great mistake of 1937. Krugman believes government stopped spending too soon - what was the half that Krugman got right? Glenn reads some of the article and reacts on radio today.

All this week on television, we're going to close the case on the all the facts we laid out last year.
Who did Glenn run into while vacationing? Let's just say it's always a surprise, even for Glenn, when a major network news broadcaster is calling out your name on the beach. Who was it and how was the Christmas eve party? Glenn explains in his first comments back from vacation.
Just like the notorious 'seminar callers' Rush talks about, there is a new type of seminar caller out there trying to get on talk radio: the birther.
That's what our Secretary of Homeland security said after a terrorist was caught trying to make and detonate a bomb aboard a plane over the holiday. Napolitano is catching some heat for saying 'the system worked' when in reality it didn't work, and passengers had to stop the threat.
It hasn't ever been a right in the Constitution, but that's not stopping our fearless senator from declaring it one. According to Senator Tom Harkin, this healthcare bill will go against the will of the founders: "What this bill does is we finally take that step. As our leader said earlier, we take that step from healthcare as a privilege to healthcare as an inalienable right of every single American citizen" - Tom Harkin. Charming, Tom. Unconstitutional, but charming. Glenn reacts to the 'step' this healthcare bill is taking.

Don't miss Glenn make his debut on the Jay Leno Show tonight at 10pm eastern! They'll talk news of the day plus Glenn hits the kitchen to bake an old family favorite recipe - Grandma's sugar cookies.
Dec. 17, 2009
During this health care reform debate, how many times have you heard that health care is a right? That's been one of the main selling points — that we're the greatest country in the world, and the only one where every citizen isn't entitled to health care?
You know things are bad in Washington D.C. when a party that does not exist is leading the way in the polls. That's exactly the case today as the Tea Party is beating out both the Republicans and the Democrats.
When Glenn meets people in New York who suddenly recognize him - it can go either way as to if it's a hater or a fan. This 'fan' Glenn chatted with on the elevator actually had his wife trying to stop her husband from saying anything. When you see his comment you'll understand why the wife attempted to intervene.
Person of the Year: Ben Bernanke? He's the Saddam Hussein of economics. He's one of the "fat cats" that the president says causes the problem...
Dec. 16, 2009
Time picked it's person of the year and the winner is (drumroll) none other than Ben Bernanke. He's been running the Fed since before the economic crisis began. Is he on the list to be scolded?
The Wall Street Journal included Glenn in an online poll that Glenn is not sure he's excited to be on, especially considering Bernie Madoff is one of the other choices. How does Glenn feel about being talked about in all of these end of year polls? Here's his reaction from radio this morning.
When you think Christmas and Christmas music, one of the first things that instantly comes to mind is Andy Williams. This guy has inspired so many people - including Michael Buble - which was breaking news to Andy. A great interview that starts off with Andy questioning Glenn's 'he's still going' comment in the introduction.
Clip from Glenn classic Christmas Tour.

You don't vote on something and then say we'll have the constitutional lawyers work it out later. You determine whether it's constitutional before you vote on it...
Towards the end of the show news broke that Lieberman decided he would support the bill after all. The speculation begins - what was the price to win Lieberman?
Al Gore has been telling tall tales about the Earth for quite some time. If you think Miami will be underwater in a couple of decades then you've been listening to Al Gore speak. Finally, his lies caught up with him...
It pays to be on the fence when it comes to the Healthcare bill. Pelosi, Reid and the President desperately want to heap this control America bill before they lose their majorities - and if you need to be convinced, well, it's anything goes in Washington D.C. to get it passed. Senator Mary Landrieu claimed to be on the fence -- it was worth $300 million dollars to Obama to get her support. Now, Joe Lieberman is claiming not to support this bill in it's current form. What are they throwing his way to change his mind and how are they trying to bully him?
Is government-run health care a right?

As the private jet-flying, limousine-riding hypocrites address the world's catastrophic warming in Copenhagen, let me share with you what The Financial Post had to say about it...
The U.S. government must craft a plan next year to get its ballooning debt under control or face possible panic in financial markets, a bipartisan panel of budget experts said in a report on Monday.
Liberal bloggers have been doing their level best to defend the good name of convicted felon Robert Creamer. He's the progressive who wrote what Obama's top advisor David Axelrod calls the 'blueprint' for progressive victories.

When there is a financial crisis in my family, we have a budget meeting, we look things over. Maybe this is the same with you — I bet it is.
Dec. 11, 2009
Not shockingly, the media did not bother to look any further on the sudden 'compromise' by Democrats to drop the public option...
The 2500 page Omnibus bill is expected to pass this week, and it's nothing more than yet another spending fiesta. Things like $17 million for Ireland and $1,948,000 to the Fish Lake Trail completion in the State of Washington. All worthy causes -- that someone else besides taxpayers should spend money on. Glenn talks with Congressman Jason Chaffetz from Utah about his battle against wasteful spending.
There was a bizarre light in the sky over Norway and video of it is making the rounds on the internet. What was it? Experts say it was a missile. Get Glenn's reaction...

Progressives would rather just say the debate is settled and march forward; destroying anything that gets in the way using whatever kinds of "means we can to shut the opposition down."
Ok, that's probably a headline that could be written every single day of the year, but it's especially true today. Keith decided to report on how many people came out to see Glenn's updated version of the Christmas Sweater in theaters last week -- and the event was a huge success. But, one little known liberal blogger posted some unverified attendance numbers in a few isolated theaters. Olbermann, like any good reporter - took those numbers straight on to the air, throwing in some made up ratings numbers as well.
Al Gore does not seem phased in the least that many of the top Global Warming scientists were caught emailing about 'hiding' evidence and using 'tricks' to manipulate the science to exaggerate rising temperatures. Instead, he just shrugs off the 'deniers' as he calls them, and prattles on and on about how the planet has a temperature, in this agonizing interview with Andrea Mitchell.
Hey, why not? We've come this far! $12 trillion and counting is our national debt - but when you factor in unfunded liabilities the number skyrockets to over $100 trillion dollars. They keep trying to raise taxes on the wealthy - but that is futile. If government took 100% of every single Fortune 500 companies profits each year, it would take 145 years to pay off our debt. That's without interest! Glenn explains the dire situation on radio this morning.
Dec. 9, 2009
On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said her agency will seek to enact an array of 90 rules and regulations next year aimed at giving more power to workers and unions.
Mystery as spiral blue light display hovers above Norway
Tonight Glenn sits down with the one, the only Barbara Walters as she named Glenn one of her most fascinating people of 2009. The interview has the gambling world buzzing with excitement, all trying to determine if Glenn will or will not cry during the interview.
A convicted felon attended the White House state dinner recently, raising questions on why he was allowed to attend. Robert Creamer, who was convicted of stealing $2.3 million from banks. And yes, liberal bloggers, taking money from a bank that isn't yours, no matter how noble the intention, IS stealing. Glenn talks about how the book Creamer penned while in the slammer is being used to help pass the current healthcare plan. Obama's top advisor, David Axelrod, calls the book a 'blueprint' for progressive victories.

Positive proof of global warming...
The "Prison Plan" marches on! That's what I'm calling President Obama's health care plan because apparently, that's where it was born: in prison.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday that emails leaked from a British university have done nothing to undermine the United Nations' view that climate change is accelerating due to humans.
In a bizarre move that didn't need to be done with any sort of urgency, the EPA declared that air is a danger to society. Coincidence that this comes in the lead up to the big Climate Change conference in Copenhagen? Doubtful...
One half of the brilliant minds behind SuperFreakonomics joined the radio program today to talk about a new book which goes over many issues - including Global Warming. Stephen Dubner, journalist, talked about the subtitle that jumped out at Glenn: 'Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and why suicide bombers should buy life insurance', and what to do about solving global warming.
Or created, one of the two. Since it's a made up number, the administration is apparently having a little fun with it. First it was 600,000 jobs saved or created, then it was 1 million jobs saved or created -- and it's just grown. These guys have quite the nerve to be touting jobs saved in the face of double digit unemployment.
Dec. 7, 2009
I bet you can even tell me what color dress the female White House "crasher" was wearing. Everyone focused on them, but there was another guest there that no one noticed — well, almost no one.
Obama bows to royalty again!
The big climate change conference is coming up, and it's already been conceded that nothing groundbreaking will happen as a result of the meetings. Considering the carbon footprint of this event is larger than 60 countries produce in an entire year...combined...maybe they should get something done when hurting the environment so much?
Obama is lobbying for votes among weary Senators who fear that supporting this trillion dollar debacle of a healthcare bill (a bill which amounts to nothing more than a progressive wish list of favors, pork and entitlements) as a vote draws closer. The bill was written by Senator Max Baucus, who was in the news this weekend for a different reason. Baucus could be the most thankful person alive that Tiger cheated on his wife with like 6 women 'of the night' - because his alleged affair suddenly doesn't seem so steamy. Should we give the guy who is drafting massive healthcare legislation the same scrutiny as a guy who plays golf? Glenn explains.
The latest with the four Navy Seals being tried because they slapped around a terrorist. A terrorist who murdered American contractors in Iraq and dragged their dead bodies through the streets. Glenn talks with retired Seal Marcus Luttrell, who says he'd rather be 'killed over there' than be in the courts over here. What punishment should the Seals get, if any?
Dec. 6, 2009
Good news: The president has saved the economy! Happy days are here again! Yes, the unemployment rate dropped to 10 percent — that's a 0.2 percent drop. And Pres Obama is giddy about the news.
A 'green' Rudolph greeting card?

Glenn was on stage live last night in NYC, and simulcast around the country. The message was one of finding forgiveness and redemption and hope. Not in a million years would anyone expect someone to protest that message - but there were actually some that did.
Dec. 3, 2009
Is it just Glenn, or has there been a sudden increase in random name pronunciation changes in the media yet again? During the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars during the Bush administration Osama suddenly started being called Usama, now it's Pakistan that is changing. Tucker Carlson took it to a whole new level when he decided to change the name of yet another country. Glenn thought Carlson was too smart to call in and explain himself -- but he thought wrong. Check out the interview from radio this morning.
Pat has the report on a rare instance of actual journalism - one of those moments when a journalist does not get a chill up their leg when the mighty Obama speaks.
Glenn came up with a list of things that if he told you a year ago, you would never believe they'd ever come to fruition. The list is staggering, but it's only a partial list because it's what Glenn, Stu and Pat came up with just chatting in the office this morning.
Dec. 2, 2009
Cadet reading 'Kill Bin Laden' book during President Obama speech...
The president was in the enemy camp Tuesday night — at least that's what those on the left are saying about Obama's speech at West Point. Enemy camp?
There's a headline you probably never imagined reading. Unfortunately the news is true: Tiger Woods has been bedding women who are not his wife. A voicemail was released by one of the alleged mistresses and on it Tiger can be heard saying his wife went through his phone and might be calling. Delete your voicemail. And with that, one of the few remaining 'good guys' in sports goes down.
That's according to Chris Matthews of MSNBC. Most people think of West Point as a friendly, unless you are a terrorist and now apparently TV hosts on MSNBC.
If you are not familiar with that slogan, it's the old rally cry of Communists around the globe. Of course, it's the current rallying cry of the SEIU president Andy Stern who said it and didn't shy away from it. To make matters worse, this is a union that the President is closely associated with as Stern has visited the White House the most of anyone else on record. Glenn talks with Scott Baker about the latest with the commie union.
Dec. 1, 2009
Glenn Beck backstage in the green room before the hour long Christmas special with Michael Buble.
Today is a big day. President Obama is announcing his plans for Afghanistan. No matter what he says, he's guaranteed to hack off a ton of people within the first five seconds of the speech.
What a shocker, politicians trying to find new revenue sources - come up with the ever so unique solution of...taxing the rich! Yup, that's what Congressman David Obey is proposing. Tax the rich, because they don't know what 'shared sacrifice' means. Really? if anyone doesn't know what shared sacrifice means, it's the poor - because they are never asked to pay for anything.
Debbie, a 'Reagan conservative' called into the radio program today and told Glenn about the hard times she has fallen on. The hardest part for her is that she is collecting a welfare check and is ashamed of the 'handout'. Glenn explains the difference between a handout and a hand up and encourages her to keep up the fight.
By now you have seen the couple that allegedly crashed the White House for an invite only event. Details are still sketchy but the couple now claim they were invited and they have proof.

Christmas lights made easy.
While most of us were arguing with relatives or loosening our belts this Thanksgiving weekend, there was a story that popped up that most of us didn't pay attention to.
Which means the media will probably never tell them. But, let's just say someone lost that chill up the leg, or didn't think the President and the first lady just didn't look so gosh darned stunning.
It's not often you see Tiger Woods in the news for something other than having a really good round of golf. That all changed this weekend when he hopped into his car at 2:45am and proceeded to drive over a fire hydrant and into a tree. Speculation swirls as to what in the world happened to cause Tiger to be heading out in the wee hours of the night, and then to crash. What did Tiger say after the accident that has Glenn leaning toward scandal?
Marcus Luttrell, the Lone Survivor, spoke with Glenn on radio today to talk about the Navy Seals who were court martial'd for giving a high level terrorist a fat lip. You don't have to be a scholar to figure out that Marcus isn't too sympathetic to the plight of the terrorist, but there was one thing that Marcus and Glenn disagreed on. What was it?

Katie Couric had classic journalism on display as she read a beautiful poem about the wonders of government run healthcare. You read that correctly. Katie Couric is doing poems about healthcare. And they wonder why people think there is a media bias? Glenn, Pat and Stu react to the Couric healthcare gush.
For roughing up a terrorist? And not just any terrorist - the one who masterminded killing civilian contractors and dragging their bodies through the streets of Iraq.

Have you ever been asked this by some random panhandler? A good response is 'sorry, I only carry hundreds', it gets em every time.
Few books come across Glenn's desk that are so powerful, they stay with him for a long time. Glenn says only three have made that kind of an impact. One of the three is America's Prophet. Glenn describes it as 'the most powerfully written history book' he's read in a long, long time. He spoke with the author of the book is Bruce Feiler and he joined Glenn on radio this morning.
Steve Forbes joined Glenn today to talk about the future of Capitalism, and about the image the Democrats have with much of America, that they are the party for the little guy. In reality, they are the party for the little guy - for keeping them poor and dependent on the government. How do you convince people that Democrats are also in bed with special interests?
Nov. 23, 2009
Horrible never seen before Thanksgiving day footage from backstage at Sesame Street...
We can no longer count on the people in Washington to wake up. It's really going to fall on your shoulders.
Glenn gives a recap of the message he delivered at the Villages over the weekend, the plan for 2010 and beyond for America. The number one question Glenn gets on the road from fans 'what can we do?', since calling representatives has clearly fallen on deaf ears. Glenn illustrates his vision with the story of the worlds first unsinkable ship. How are we doing the same things the crew on the ship did?
Glenn has been pounding away on TV and radio about the unsustainable path our government has been on for decades. Critics will say Glenn is just a partisan Obama hater, but Glenn has been consistently hammering both sides on the issue of spending for years. Both spend too much, Obama just spends waaaaaay too much. So much so that even the New York Times sees trouble coming. These numbers are indisputable - so if politicians know this, why would they jam through healthcare?
What happens when you are a Democrat on the fence about Obamacare? You become the brand new recipient of $300 million dollars! That is the sad state of affairs of politics today. They are not voting on the merits of the bill, only on 'what's in it for me?'. Glenn talks about how Senator Mary Landrieu sold out her country and proved that while she may be easy, she's certainly not cheap.
You've heard the phrase 'the debate is over' before, right? Well the people who are pushing so hard for Cap & Trade, progressives, had their email accounts hacked into. The content was quite revealing - several emails, for example, discuss 'how to hide' the declining global temperatures. Glenn, Pat and Stu talk about the emails and the story that Climate Change leads to prostitution.
Nov. 20, 2009
This Saturday Glenn will give an exclusive sneak preview of THE PLAN at The Villages in Florida. The free event starts at 3pm and will be followed by a book signing.
When does Congress work on the weekend? When they don't want the public to see what they are doing. This Saturday night at 8pm the Senate will vote to cut off debate on a motion to proceed to the healthcare reform bill. If 60 senators support the motion, the chamber would automatically adopt the motion to proceed to the bill and then depart. Some Senators are still on the fence. Who is being offered a $100 million bribe for their vote?
Congressman Murtha (D-PA) is consistently ranked as one of the most corrupt members of Congress. He avoided prosecution in 1980 in the ABCSAM scandal because he testified against others. Since then he's done nothing but waste hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money on things like the John Murtha airport, which has 3 planes leave everyday. Pat talks about his latest affront to the Constitution.
Nov. 19, 2009
What's in the House and Senate health care bills that is not in the Constitution? The redistribution of wealth.
When polling Americans about healthcare, there are ways to get two very different answers to the same question. Like healthcare, for example. If you ask people 'should everyone be required to have healthcare'' the answer comes back 67% yes, 27% no. But, when the question is rephrased to 'should we require everybody to carry insurance, or face a federal penalty' it flips and 64% say no, and 28% yes. Perhaps if the media would bother reporting on all of the new taxes this plan carries with it, support would dip even lower? Here are the new taxes in the healthcare bill.
The healthcare bill is heading towards a vote, a vote Glenn believes could be a turning point in American history. Will our politicians finally push us off the cliff? Senator Jim Demint is opposing the plan, will he get enough support to stop it?
Nov. 18, 2009
Evil Conservative Industries solution for affordable healthcare...
Economic guru warns global currency and one-world government could be in our future
Glenn gives a preview to the big plan he will be laying out at the Villages this coming weekend. What direction is Glenn planning on going? Where does he think the country is headed?
Ann Coulter stopped by to chat with Glenn about the issues of the day. What does Ann think about all the madness going on with the spending in Washington? And how does she feel about the Republicans in power now? The woman the left loves to hate, interviewed by the host the left loves to hate. It's hate radio at its best.
That is a very interesting number, considering there is no real way to measure a 'saved' job. And even if he did save a million jobs, the important number, the 'net' jobs, would be well over 2 million. ABC News has the report on Recovery.Gov, the website Obama set up specifically to track the stimulus, and how the site is littered with errors and jobs from 'districts that don't exist'.
The dollar continues to drop, meanwhile Gold has reached another record. Glenn doesn't want to be the Debbie downer in the room, but if you watched last nights TV show you saw how scary our debt situation is. Our debt has passed $12 trillion - which even caused President Obama to comment publicly on the need to decrease the deficit. Which is weird, considering every solution this guy has comes with 12 zero's after it.
Nov. 17, 2009
Besides all the horrible policies that make no sense, there seems to be something else amiss about the President. On prompter he is a genius, smooth and steady. As soon as that prompter fails he's like a deer in headlights, painfully searching for each thought as if he's considering 15 opinions before speaking. What's the deal? Glenn talks with Keith Ablow about it...
Sarah Palin has officially hit the airwaves to promote her new book 'Going Rogue' and her first stop was the Oprah show. Oprah did not dive deep into policy issues, instead she talked about...
Glenn saw a clip on CNBC last week where the guest started talking about the possibility of the dollar collapsing, a global currency and a global government being established to 'save' us from the crisis. The host must have been distracted because he expressed no shock, and his follow up was essentially 'so how is the weather?'. The guest was Damon Vickers who joined Glenn on radio, mainly so Glenn could give him a proper follow up question.

Want a Moist, Flavorful Turkey? Wrap It in Bacon
The American public doesn't want government-run health care and, for the first time in history, we don't think it's the government's place to give it to us.
The king of cable news dropped in on the radio program today for a very special announcement - Glenn and Bill are doing a series of special appearances together. The two talk about the tour and also about the important issues of the day, like, what should the name of the tour be?
Only 34% of people actually want government running their healthcare, but special interests are keeping the bill alive. Special interest groups like the AARP who stand to make huge profits on gap insurance if the bill passes. And what about attorneys? Haven't heard any of them speak out against the bill. Glenn talks to our resident shady attorney, Joe explains why his ilk love Obama's healthcare plan.

O'Reilly / Beck: Bold & Fresh Tour 2010
Nov. 13, 2009
Liberals have an interesting pattern they follow. First, they vote in other liberals to office. Those elected liberals proceed to jack up taxes and try and control as much as possible. Everyone (including the liberals who voted for the liberals) get annoyed at all the taxes and leave for somewhere with less tax and less control. Then they repeat the process. It's exactly what the New York Times, who has championed progressives seemingly forever, has decided the only way to save jobs -- move them to states with low (or no) taxes. Unbelievable.
Who has visited the White House the most, according to the records they have so far released? Andy Stern, head of the SEIU. He says his first priority is helping to get the healthcare bill passed. Could it be because this healthcare bill promised to take the burden of the massive benefits unions promised workers, and dump it on the federal government? Glenn plays Andy's interview on CNBC talking about the wonders of government healthcare.
This caller basically confirmed everything we suspect about our crappy politicians. Ask them a few tough questions and they immediately make you the enemy. Beth in Florida told her story of how she actually sat down to talk to Congressman Alan Grayson (remember him? He's the 'Republicans want people to die' guy) and was asked to leave after she asked some questions. What did she ask that was so controversial?

Man distracted by bird drives Bugatti into marsh
Right now, I'd settle for someone who knows how to operate a calculator. And I'd like some honesty: If you really believe some Marxist utopian system is the way to go, then make the case for that "redistributive change"; don't hide it.
It's true, Glenn is actually on the cover of Playboy Magazine. Mercifully it's just his name and the article about him...
People just can't seem to get enough Glenn lately. Stewart, Colbert, SNL, Playboy and now South Park has spent time making fun of Glenn. In this episode of South Park, Eric Cartman takes on the role of Glenn Beck. Glenn plays a little of the clip and reacts.
Glenn, Pat and Stu debate the bizarre incident on Larry King with Carrie Prejean this week. Glenn contends there is 'something wrong' with Prejean on this one while Stu sides with Prejean. What could Larry do to get her all bent out of shape?
Mark Albarain from Goldline talks about the news that is out today suggesting we could be nearing what amounts to 'peak gold' as more and more people are buying it to protect themselves.

I've been down for a couple of days but has anybody over at the White House labeled Nidal Malik Hasan — the terrorist who killed 13 and wounded 30 more at Fort Hood — an extremist?
Forklift smashes massive vodka stock
Glenn returned to the airwaves today with plenty to say, starting with the bizarre reaction speech President Obama gave after the troop shooting...
As Glenn recovered from surgery, he noticed another disturbing trend in the aftermath of the Ft. Hood shooting - no one seems willing to label this guy an extremist. Obama, Pelosi and Reid don't hesitate to call tea party goers extremists yet they put the brakes on calling the guy who killed 13 people and wounded 30 'extremist'?
Today is Veteran's Day. If you see a vet, thank them. And do it not only today but every day. The men and women of our Armed Forces willingly put it on the line for us, risking everything without the lure of riches and fame. They do it so you can remain free and live life how you want to. They deserve our gratitude. Glenn gave his thoughts on our troops this morning on radio.

Pat took a call from Kevin in Columbus, who claimed neither Pat or Glenn are giving Barack Obama a fair chance. Pat asks Kevin to make the case in defense of the Obama presidency so far and his response should lay to rest any doubt that these first 10 months have been a disaster for the President. Everything he's passed hasn't worked, unemployment is skyrocketing, Democrats are losing elections, and he's proposing massive entitlement programs that will pile on to the deficit. But that doesn't stop our idiot of the day, caller Kevin from Columbus, from trying to defend it.
In news that seems to explain a lot of the governing going on by politicians these days, Barney Frank was allegedly at the home of his partner in 2007 when the cops busted (his partner) for growing pot plants. 'I'm not an outdoorsman' was Frank's lame response. Anyone think the media would ignore it if Glenn did the same thing? Pat Gray (in for Glenn) plays the audio and reacts.

After being in pain most of the night, Glenn ended up leaving the radio program early Wednesday to see a doctor. Turned out the pain was appendicitis and Glenn underwent surgery.

Pennsylvania thieves dealt public punishment
It was a big night for conservatives in New Jersey and Virginia. After 400 years of corruption New Jersey finally decided to try something different.
Michele Bachmann joined the program today, and she is fired up to stop this healthcare bill from passing. The mother of all government programs is being shoved on Americans, despite their disapproval, and she is encouraging people to head to Washington and be heard. Will they listen? Tough to say -- but one thing is for sure, if you don't show up they 100% will not listen to you.
A rare sighting of journalism occurred with David Gregory this weekend as he questioned Timothy Geithner on Meet the Press. Geithner must have assumed he was in comfortable territory, because he went into his usual spin mode, trying to make the economy look great even though unemployment continues to rise towards double digits. Geithner continued his long history of fuzzy math (he couldn't figure out his turbo tax) and tried to tell America the stimulus is working.

Giant Crack in Africa Will Become New Ocean
I want to be wrong. And I'm going to take the president at his word; that his plans have stopped the decline.
This morning on Good Morning America host Diane Sawyer became the first person (at least that we know of) who has challenged Al Gore on his love for meat. His precious IPCC report says not eating meat is one of the top ways to curb global warming. Gore's response was less than convincing, apparently old Al isn't used to being questioned. When he does, he usually just has the questioner shut off the mic. What was his answer?
Some big elections are happening today in New York, Virginia, and New Jersey. Will the people show the country they are fed up with the status quo?
Glenn has been saying for quite some time now that the goal of this adminsitration is not to merely 'fix' healthcare and climate change and whatever else is going 'wrong' -- the goal is to destroy it. Why? So they can start over from scratch with a brand new system! That's the Cloward and Piven strategy, and it's exactly what George Soros and Andy Stern talk (two of Obama's buddies) about.
America is changing. We're not letting you get away with it anymore. Look, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Shame on me.

Space hotel says it's on schedule to open in 2012
Just when you thought Jeremiah Wright couldn't get any crazier -- he goes and does it. This time we had to dig up the audio from the time machine -- way way way back in last month. He's back to his old tricks -- firing off more America loving poetry, calling America 'land of the greed and home of the slave'. The real interesting part, considering our current President sat in this guys church for 20 years, is who he was giving the speech to and what he had to say on Marxism.
Will the current 1900+ page healthcare bill make it all the way to the Presidents desk? Michelle Bachmann is one of those fighting against that happening and it's a fight Glenn hopes she wins. What will this bill do for the future of America if it's passed? How much control with this give government?
Is the NY-23 special election a sign of things to come in America? Will it be a the spark that ignites the conservative backlash across the country?
Nov. 1, 2009
We are at a crossroads, America. We have to choose: Do we want to turn back toward the Founders or continue down this reckless path?
Oct. 30, 2009
Last night on TV Glenn played one of the more powerful pieces of video he's done so far -- a look at the radicals fighting the free market system and how they are doing it. Glenn pays particular interest to one, Robert McChesney from Free Press. This socialist organization meets regularly with the White House, and also professes to dismantle the free market system 'brick by brick.'
That's the story according to a 40 year old mother of three in England. After trying to enroll her kids in the neighborhood school, the local education department began spying on her because they suspected she was lying about her address. Everyone always says 'what's the big deal? Camera's solve crimes!' without really considering what could happen. What could happen?They're finding out in England.
The president who is sitting in the Oval Office right now promised to bring us "hope" and "change." Obama is keeping at least one of those promises: change.
Glenn Beck’s retelling of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart.” This 15 minute classic is fully produced with music and sound effects, perfect for Halloween.
Oct. 29, 2009
Just like the special election in New York -- NY-23---is a prefect example of everything wrong in politics today...Senator Arlen Specter is an example of everything wrong with politicians.
Yes, that's the car searching site -- a great site for that -- but Glenn talked with the founder of it because he crunched some numbers and found out the true cost of the cash for clunkers program. How much was did this government 'success' cost taxpayers per clunker?
Oct. 28, 2009
I've told you a lot of spooky things on this show and I'm hoping a lot of those things are wrong. The other day I asked you the question: Does it matter if these people are Marxists?
Who are the scariest people you could dress up as for Halloween this year?
What happens when someone on the left -- the party that supposedly includes all voices, all ideas, all viewpoints -- becomes friends with or does business with someone on the right? They take aim and question the character of -- the person on the left. They can't even imagine talking to someone on the other side of the political aisle...what happened to 'the uniter'?
Glenn talks with Stephen Moore about the war on capitalism and free market ideas. It's a war that has been raging in colleges and universities for quite some time, but apparently George Soros isn't happy with the results. What's he spending $200 million on to help fight against the free market?
Glenn Beck talks about what's behind the new book, The Christmas Sweater: A Picture Book.
Oct. 27, 2009
Thanks to stimulus money Joe Biden announced a re-opening of a GM plant. The people of Detroit are so excited; they'll be put to work once again! Of course, they'll have to commute...
There is a battle brewing in the New York special election featuring conservative Doug Hoffman -- who didn't get the support of the GOP. They supported a 'republican' who is in favor of the stimulus package, abortion, etc -- instead of the conservative candidate. Glenn has said all along to vote on principle not party -- and this race is a classic example of republicans just trying to win with whoever rather than have actual ideals. Many claim it's 'throwing your vote away' to vote for Hoffman -- what's Glenn think?

Random road sign in Naugatuck, CT.
How many more failures do you need to be convinced? This can't last. What is our exit strategy? I fear our exit strategy is to fundamentally transform this country and redistribute wealth.
Glenn looks at all the issues of the day, and all the mounting evidence that leaves one clear impression: our leaders want to transform America into something else. Something our founders wouldn't have necessarily wanted. Glenn runs down the hit list - Anita Dunn's love for Mao, Van Jones love for spreading the wealth, Obama's desire for redistributive change, and on and on and on. Radicals who disagree with the founding principles of America are making their move. Will they succeed?
Oct. 23, 2009
Has anyone noticed the amount of beatdowns going on lately?
This President is universally heralded as the great communicator, a man with a gift for oration, the undisputed top campaigner. Of course, take his prompter away and it's a different story...
Anita Dunn, chief White House Fox News attacker, has reason to celebrate. Her hubby has a new gig! Only a few people know -- well, now the secret is out -- that there is now a lover of a Mao lover working for the White House...What's the gig?
Glenn Beck in Harlem. Not exactly the place Glenn would go and find a lot of 'fans' but that wasn't the reason for the stop in Harlem. Glenn went to Harlem with Fox News contributor Charles Payne, and the two went back to the exact spot of an incident that helped shape Charles life. He was one of the only kids growing up who had a briefcase -- what happened to it?
I don't know about you, but I'm still geeked about the health care bill coming in at just under $900 billion!

A motorized La-Z-Boy chair driven by Dennis Anderson of Proctor was operating when he hit a parked vehicle in August of 2008. Anderson pleaded guilty to a DWI charge on Oct. 20, 2009.
Barack Obama campaigned on a promise of unity, bi-partisanship and the whole we'll all be holding hands utopian dream. That clearly hasn't happened so far...
Arguing the poor argument can be difficult. Poorly chosen words, while well intentioned, can cause you to sound like you hate poor people. While this isn't the case, it does explain how liberals exist and how they win office. Ironically, the poor never seem to become un-poor under democrat control..that's just one point for the next time you encounter an idiot like THIS...
Oct. 21, 2009
The three things they continually use in disparaging any dissent are that those involved are: "wrong thinking"; the ideas presented are a "danger"; or that those opposed are simply in it for "profit."
With the battle for ObamaCare raging, who better to have on to document massive government waste than the man who practically discovered the notion: John Stossel. Nancy Pelosi is giddy over the latest CBO review of the new healthcare plan, but is that any reason to believe the government will be able to stay under budget?
Is The One actually starting to lose some credibility? He's annoying people on both sides of the aisle. A new CNN poll shows that for the first time people mostly disagree with Obama on the issues.
THIS really is the perfect example of everything wrong with politics in America today. People like to call Glenn an 'arm of the GOP' when the exact opposite is true. Glenn is harder on the GOP because they are the one selling us out! This race in New York is the perfect example of the GOP backing the progressive candidate while abandoning support for the conservative candidate. Glenn talks with that conservative candidate Doug Hoffman.
Orrin Hatch was arguing with Andrea Mitchell this week and he called George Soros about as left as they come. Mitchell took exception to that, saying she didn't believe it was fair to label Soros a leftist because he supports many different things. What's the example of something non-leftist Soros supports? The Clinton Global Initiative.
Our most precious right — the one that leads directly to freedom of religion and our freedom of the press, the supposed watchdogs of our Republic — is being brutally and viciously assaulted.
House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday new estimates showed a healthcare overhaul drafted by Democrats would reduce the U.S. budget deficit over 10 years and cost less than $900 billion.

Glenn Beck should shop here
Manufacturing Czar Ron Bloom is the latest in a long line of White House officials who seem to just love Chairman Mao. Mao, of course, is the loving former Chinese dictator who killed 70 million people during peacetime, so what's not to love? Bloom also mocked capitalism"We know that the free market is nonsense" which is of course the sentiment you want from the guy trying to create jobs in the manufacturing sector.
What was Anita's excuse when asked about her love affair with Chairman Mao? She claims she was joking -- and that it was a reference to an old Lee Atwater quote. Who can't go a day without quoting Lee Atwater? Certainly not Anita! That lame excuse is actually being defended by idiots everywhere -- if you find yourself in this dilemma (faced with an Anita idiot) here's the argument.

The price U.S. drivers paid to fill up at the gasoline pump soared to the highest level in five weeks thanks to rising crude oil costs, the Energy Department said Monday.
Terminator meets Back to the Future...
Anytime you get someone on the program with the title of 'Lord' you know you've got a great guest. Monckton has long been a global warming skeptic, and it would seem he's on the right track given the Earth hasn't warmed since that famed hottest year on record. Monckton stopped Al Gore's movie from being played in UK schools, and now is on a mission to stop the agreements in Copenhagen, which appears to be the basis for establishing global governments.

Oct. 17, 2009
Anita Dunn, the White House spokesperson put in charge of watching Fox News all day long, had a bad day yesterday. A watchdog found out that Anita happens to be a fan of Chairman Mao. Glenn plays the audio of Anita as she talks to a class of students about her 'favorite political philosopher' and the life lessons they can take from him.
Doctors and medical students debate future of health care in America
Oct. 16, 2009
If you were around a TV yesterday during the early afternoon you probably noticed something that looked like, as Glenn described it, a 'flying muffin' getting wall to wall news coverage. Reports were that a boy was trapped inside it, causing panic. Turns out the six year old boy was not in the balloon. It also turns out that the boys family had previously appeared on 2 reality TV programs. It also turns out that when interviewed by Wolf Blitzer, the boy said we did it for a TV show'. Was it a hoax for TV? Glenn talks about the balloon saga

Random video: Drunk man attempts to buy beer and fails...
Glenn Beck has exclusive video showing White House Communications Director Anita Dunn praising Chairman Mao...
How did Glenn land on the Art Review Magazines 'Power 100' list? First of all, the art community isn't exactly the crowd that loves Glenn. And his best 'work' was when he spilled some grape juice in his journal and tore out the page. So what was it that landed him on this list?
If you end up in an argument with someone who supports the Baucus healthcare plan -- you are truly in the presence of an idiot. But, in the odd event that you encounter someone chanting 'healthcare for all' and urging passage of this plan -- prepare yourself with this hypothetical argument with the idiot.
Washington Post came out today and did a fluffy profile piece on Anita Dunn -- the White House communications director in charge of watching the network and exposing what they call lies. The thing that stuck out to Glenn? The fact they mention it will be so sad to see her go...and exit the White Hose by end of year. Huh? How do they know that?
Finally, a politician willing to say what the actual truth is on Obama's policies. Remember how Sarah Palin was ridiculed for that 'death panel' comment? Well, Robert Reich came out and said what will actually happen...

Video: Glenn Beck takes a look at all the promises made by this administration that have not been fulfilled...
Why is the media so surprised at the 'anger' directed towards Lindsey Graham? After all, this is the guy who has a resume that looks more like a George Soros underling than a Republican United States Senator. Glenn plays the audio of angry town hall goers and talks about why they are upset with Graham and others like him.
Glenn talks with Bachmann on the latest with what's going on in Washington, including her work uncovering yet another ACORN scandal...Bachmann is one of the few people in Congress right now who seem to be on the right side of things -- aware of what's coming. She's a favorite target of the left and is facing an upcoming election - check out her site and the conversation she had with Glenn today on radio.
Quite possibly one of the most frustrating arguments trotted out by the left, is the '3/5 human' argument. Basically, it points to the constitution and claims that the founders thought slaves were less than a full human being. Even Condi Rice cited progress in America by saying she was once considered 3/5 a human. When you read what the 3/5 human issue is all about, it takes all of about 5 seconds to understand the founders did not hate slaves, in fact they were advocating on their behalf.
Glenn noticed on Twitter the other day that Scott Baio was taking some heat for defending Glenn on a couple of things. After a few back and forth tweets, Scott ended up on the program to talk with Glenn about being a conservative in Hollywood -- and what life has been like since admitting he was a fan of Glenn. That usually doesn't go over well in many places -- least of which California.
Glenn saw a fantastic review of his new book, Arguing with Idiots on Frontpagemag.com that reviews the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's an honest assessment from someone who was, frankly, not very excited to read the book. What'd he think about it?

Could this have been something from Glenn's childhood?
Rush was on the Today Show, and it was interesting to watch (yet again) the media try to get a handle on a conservative. Rush has, as always, fantastic answers and when asked about Glenn says 'he's right on' while adding that he started the conservative talker movement.
A perfect example of a good government idea that just doesn't work: forcing restaurants to put calories on menus. Governments idea is you will see the numbers on the menu and resist turning yourself into a fat fat fatty -- reality is you don't give a crap about the number on the menu. If you want the Big Mac, you are going to eat it. They tested the calories on the menu mandate - how has it worked out?
Al Gore was giving a speech recently and doing something he rarely does -- take questions. When one of the questioners asked him about the 9 factual errors in Gore's film, Gore laughed him off and gave a weak answer to the charge. A few moments later, the questioner had his microphone shut off. Apparently he didn't know he was talking to Mr. 'the debate is settled' himself, Al Gore.
Vince Flynn, best selling author with the new book 'Pursuit of Honor' joined Glenn to talk about where this country has been and where it is going. Vince is always extremely interesting to listen to -- and Glenn describes one of the chapters in the new book as 'conservative porn'. Where does Vince see the nation in the next few years?

President Obama woke up with a pleasant surprise -- the news that he'd won the Nobel Peace Prize. Even those who want him to succeed in implementing his progressive policies and have complained he hasn't accomplished any of them.
Our government wants to spend money -- perhaps adding a 2nd stimulus package -- at the same time the World Economic Forum comes out with a report on different currencies and their stability. Where does the United States Dollar rank out of the top 50 currencies? If you saw Glenn's recent TV program on the demise of the dollar you know this poll doesn't end well.But how bad is it?
Doctors debate whether or not you should get H1N1 vaccine
Oct. 8, 2009
Glenn looked up at the TV just as the hour started and was jarred out of his seat when he saw Madeleine Albright...not for the usual reason that it was Madeleine Albright -- no, this time it was because of something bizarre she was wearing. It all led to an incredibly A.D.D. laced conversation in hour 2...what was she wearing? Glenn reacts....
It's come to this -- professors are so incensed that there are conservative voices out there students actually listen too, they've resorted to making it an actual assignment to find errors in Glenn's new book - Arguing with Idiots. A student from John Tyler Community College called in - and told Glenn about the extra credit for their final. Apparently the liberal blogs are having trouble finding 'mistakes', so it's up to the professors.
We have to. They won't read (or even write) the bills they vote on. They don't even pretend they read them. As a result, we cannot trust anyone or any bill in Washington -- and we are forced to do their job and 'break it apart' for people. Here's a site created by a regular Joe and it does just that (and it's free!).

Wednesday was the 8th anniversary of the war in Afghanistan. But there is another war taking place and these same politicians have, in this instance, applied their full force...
FCC Diversity Czar Mark Lloyd is Obama's media guru and the guy who says the Fairness Doctrine doesn't go far enough. He's actually advocated forcing people to step down from their media posts so they can be replaced with minorities. Seton Motley of the Media Research Center joined Glenn to talk more on Lloyd, but also about a new group whose influence is growing in Washington: Free Press. Sounds peachy, but two of the founders of this group are Marxists and want to 'overthrow the capitalist system' itself. Charming, no? Seton and Glenn talk about just how much influence Free Press has with the Obama administration.
Have you ever wished you were born into money? Well, our government is doing their best to make sure that every baby in America is born into money ---- $500 worth to be exact. It's called ASPIRE (America Saving for Personal Investment, Retirement, and Education Act) and yes, it's another incredibly stupid acronym, and policy. About the only thing dumber than the acronym is the actual policy itself. Glenn breaks it down here...
We've been in Afghanistan for 8 years now, and recently things there have taken a turn for the worse. The President has some tough choices to make since he ran as basically the anti-war candidate. Will he try to appease his base of war opponents or will he try and avoid making the same mistake Bush did before the surge of not fighting to win? It's a big moment for the President, and the fate of many soldiers hang in the balance. Glenn gives his thoughts on what should happen...
It's not often you get a chance to meet a tubby, pasty white, rodeo clown alcoholic former DJ in person...but now is your chance!

Did you wake up and read about what's going on with the dollar? Probably not, especially if you still get your news from the paper. And if you get your news from American newspapers, then you definitely didn't read about what's going on with the dollar.
It was quite a lame attempt to convince America that doctors are indeed behind Obama's healthcare plan. That's the only possible explanation for 150 random doctors, in a grassroots fashion, showing up at the White House, dressed in their white doctors coats...the other explanation is this was a completely staged photo op that was a complete insult to intelligence of the average American.
Glenn has been called a lot of things in his day, but usually Mr. Jingoistic is not called unpatriotic. That's exactly what James Carville said about Glenn in response to his 'cheering' on Rio getting the billion dollar money pit that is the Olympics.
'Conservative' Lindsay Graham came out and attacked Glenn for not being the voice of conservatism -- which Glenn wears as a badge of honor. These so called 'conservatives' attacking Glenn are the same ones who think Teddy Roosevelt was a conservative. What did the 'conservative' TR believe in?
The Independent (UK) is reporting that Arab states are in talks to work towards the end of using US currency for oil trading. Especially troubling when this movement is coupled with the Obama global apology tour and the UN's call for a new global reserve currency. The rest of the globe is making a power play, and they are trying to knock us down a peg or two...or ten. Glenn talks about what the this attack on the dollar means for you.

Lately, things haven't made sense to me. Now, I don't have all the answers, but millions of Americans come to my show each night because I'm asking different questions.
Pictures from the tours here...
It wasn't too long ago when comedians said they couldn't make fun of Obama because there wasn't anything to make fun of. Apparently that ship has sailed, because SNL this weekend took direct aim at Obama and his lack of accomplishments so far. The two big Obama successes SNL points out are 'jack' and 'squat' while mocking his failure to make good on campaign promises. Does this bit mean the left is turning on Obama or are they just trying to mock him into shoving his agenda into place?
Not on purpose, of course -- Graham said Glenn 'does not represent the Republican party' which is of course is 100% true and a comment Glenn wears with a badge of honor. Graham claims Glenn is not the voice of the conservatism, which is ironic coming from the guy nicknamed 'Grahamnesty' by conservatives annoyed with his progressive views. Glenn plays the audio and reacts to yet another politician who just doesn't get it.
Glenn talks with country music star Trace Adkins about everything from Obama's Olympics failure to bug zappers to the 'comforting' smell of Central park in summer. Particularly amusing is Trace's A.D.D. moment where he mocks Stu for taking children's Flinstone vitamins, saying 'does your mommy still give them to you?'...ouch. What does Trace about where our country is headed?

Glenn Beck's Arguing with Idiots on Oprah's Book Club?
Oct. 2, 2009
I've been thinking about the show with some of America's great moms we did last week and the response we've been getting has been overwhelming.
Wow, this one is hard to explain. The President jetted off to Copenhagen to make his case for Chicago and the 2016 Olympics in a move that the President shouldn't have been dumb enough to do if he wasn't fairly sure of the outcome.
Glenn has long been coming under attack from the left -- being called in the bag for the GOP and so forth. But now, some in the GOP realize that he's not necessarily their guy either...
Remember her? She's the one who sparred with Arlen Specter at the town hall debate and drew national attention. Glenn spoke with her today because after she taped the Chris Matthews show the other day, and MSNBC arranged a car for her to do the interview- but now they won't pay for it. Is MSNBC really that hard up for cash? Glenn talks with Katy about it...
We present a few photos from the first night of Glenn Beck's book tour

Debut Builds Upon the Success of Glenn Beck’s Common Sense which is #1 on the NYT Non-Fiction Paperback List, Selling Over 1 Million Copies to Date
Last night Bill Maher predicted that Glenn is so crazy, it won't be long before he is on air 'playing with his feces'. That's the kind of high brow comedy the left can expect from Maher.
The White House attacked Glenn over a comment he made about the Vancouver Olympics, pointing out Glenn misspoke when referring to the Vancouver Olympics in the past tense. That's the kind of big mistakes the White House is concerned about -- backing that Vancuver Olympic effort. Glad they wanted to highlight how great of a job the government is doing in the build up to the Vancouver games...Glenn goes over the wonderful job the government is doing sticking to the budget...
Glenn has a conversation with pollster extraordinaire Frank Luntz to talk about what it is Americans really want. You have seen Frank on TV during the elections with his instant reaction poll -- and now he's written a book which details the results of unbelievable amounts of polling data and research he's done over the years.

The New York Times has just assigned somebody to watch FOX News because they're missing stories and can't find them on their own.
There is some really disturbing video taken just a few blocks away from a Chicago school as a fight broke out between rival gangs. There are no guns or knives -- only fists, kicks, and a few wooden rail ties. Seemingly no one in the crowd tries to break things up, and most join in the scuffle. One child, 16 year old honors student Derrion Albert, was not part of either gang but got caught up in the middle of the fight. Glenn wonders what has happened to us that THIS can happen...anywhere..with our youth, as someone is lying on the ground, covering their head in obvious pain. Glenn explains what he believes the root cause is...
Michael Moore just launched his new anti-capitalist film (which he charges admission fees to watch) in which he laments the system that has made him millions. Hey, Mike, if you hate the system so much, why don't you go somewhere else to produce your movies? And why don't you donate all of your revenues to charity? Don't you have enough money? Here's the Idiots section to read if you have a Michael Moore lover in your life.
Last week we had the kiddo's singing Barack Hussein Obama to the tune of 'Jesus loves me' and the lyrics had the kids praising Obama for all being 'equal in his sight'. Well, now there is yet another indoctrination tape out...
Glenn spoke at Safeco Field in Seattle this weekend AND in his hometown of Mt. Vernon -- and if all you read were the reports from the fringe media, you'd think everyone hates Glenn.
Is this group saying a prayer to Barack Obama? Glenn is skeptical. Are they saying “Obama” or “Oh God?” Are they praising the president or just mocking religion? Turn up the volume and see what you hear.

Secret footage specifies chaos minutes after the Oklahoma City bombing

Why is it that no one in the fringe media can get the tea parties right? Is it really that tough to figure out why so many people are willing to take precious time out of their busy lives to make their voices heard? Is it really that complex?
Glenn plays the amazing audio of the Fox reporter who caught up with Hugo Chavez at the UN and asked him a few questions, which Chavez promptly avoids while calling Fox viewers deranged. Glenn also plays audio of an outraged Benjamin Netanyahu, who was outraged at the fact that legitimacy is given to the President of Iran, a guy who denies the Holocaust and who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map.
The Communications Director of the NEA resigned, and the fringe media is referring to this as another Glenn Beck scalp. Glenn has no interest in 'scalps' -- and only in the truth. The fact of the matter is the NEA debacle goes far higher than the Comm Director who quit -- and Glenn won't quit until he gets actual answers on what the real agenda is.
Glenn plays a series of audio clips -- starting with the Chavez clip where he makes fun of Fox News and ending with the clip of him being incessantly referred to by Dick Durbin on the floor of the United States Senate. All of these clips demonstrate one thing -- the left can't with the argument, so they are being forced to refer to the strategy championed by Saul Alinsky -- identify the target, then mock and ridicule. Chavez couldn't answer the question Fox asks, so he mocked. Durbin can't answer the charge - so he redirects the attention towards the 'guru' Glenn Beck.
Last night's Saturday Night Live episode had a segment featuring Glenn. Watch it here.
I haven't said anything the last couple of days about what is going on in Afghanistan. I've been waiting to see what the president was going to do about the recommendations he's received from his commanding General...

Who is reading Glenn's new book? It might not be who you think...
Did Glenn really boil a frog alive?... No.
After watching Hollywood and the fringe media bow down and worship The One, is it any wonder that THIS happens at our schools? A teacher is practicing a song with kids in the school and it's all about singing praise to Obama...
Oh, you'll feel at ease when you see the distinguished advisory board at ACORN who will sink their claws into the corrupted organization and clean it up. People like Andy Stern from the SEIU -- they'll fix it! Glenn runs down the list of board members and in the process gives hope to the next aspiring journalist looking to uncover corruption at ACORN...maybe the next video can feature an Escort instead of a hooker?
Glenn sat down with Katie Couric earlier this week and one of the comments drawing the ire of Republican commentators and bloggers was when Glenn said McCain may have been a worse President for the country than Barack Obama. Republicans were horrified! How could this be? Glenn explains it for those whose partisan blinders have hindered their ability to think...
Gee, what a surprise -- yet another thing Michael Moore doesn't like about America. Hey, Mike, little tip for you -- if you hate it here so much...why do you stay? Oh, and one other question which the media won't ever think to ask you: If you hate capitalism so much, why do you charge money for people to see your movie? Isn't that....capitalism? Glenn and the guest idiot discuss Michael Moore and his idiotic movie...
Christian Science Monitor was appalled at Glenn's segment last night on TV explaining his comments on John McCain. The initially came out swinging, saying 'did we witness the murder of an innocent frog?' Maybe if they cared a little more about journalism, and a little less about the human treatment of rubber frogs - the Christian Science monitor wouldn't have provided a shining example of why the fringe media is mightily struggling right now.
President Obama was billed as "the uniter". Now, we know how that has worked out, but I'm not sure why we turned to him for unity, when really there are only a couple of things that Democrats and Republicans can agree on.

School kids taught to praise Obama?
Erick Erickson from Red State managed to obtain the names of those in contact with ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis. How many politicians are shaking in their boots? Glenn talks with Erick about the names.
You've had this conversation many times. It all starts with you complaining about your taxes, and your idiot liberal friends says 'well how else are you going to get roads and fire departments?'and 'it's about time the rich start paying their fair share!' ... What is 'fair' exactly?
Another popular argument that would be difficult to argue without the facts is the counter to the 'exxon and their evil profits!' argument. How could a company that makes billions and billions of dollars a year possibly justify all those obscene profits while regular ordinary Americans struggle to afford gas? There is one key measure -- a fair measure -- to look at besides the one weasel politicians do to find the answer. What can you look at besides just the raw profit number?
You've known, as have I, for quite some time that something just isn't right and it's not simply "Obama is really liberal" and the same old stupid political games...

Katie Couric speaks with the controversial Glenn Beck, who has gained a strong following from both his Fox News TV show and nationally-syndicated radio program.
U.S. scientists in the Gulf of Mexico unexpectedly netted a 19.5-foot (5.9-meter) giant squid off the coast of Louisiana, the Interior Department said on Monday, showing how little is known about life in the deep waters of the Gulf.
The progressives are starting much younger these days...there is a video being played in schools all across America -- that lays out the 'story of stuff' a loving, anti-capitalist tale that unfortunately has virtually no facts correct. Watch the video (if you can stomach the entire thing) -- when you are done, check out this thorough debunking of the video, in which the commentator investigates the footnotes used in the 'story of stuff' video.
Finally, the day you've been waiting for is here! Glenn's latest book: Arguing with Idiots: How to stop small minds and big government is in bookstores everywhere! And in honor of the new book, Glenn once again argues with the idiot on 'indoctrination' ... The idiot will argue about the President's speech to school children, but is that where it all ends?
Actually, the progressives are starting much younger these days...there is a video being played in schools all across America -- that lays out the 'story of stuff' a loving, anti-capitalist tale that unfortunately has virtually no facts correct.

It is our exclusive hour with the president of the United States, Barack Obama.
With his healthcare plan on life support, President Obama hit the cable circuit to promote his plan to America. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Univision and the Late Show with David Letterman all got interviews – the one major network overlooked? Fox News.
What are the irrefutable stats? Glenn argues with the idiot on poverty and minimum wage
During his media blitz Barack Obama said the media is ‘rude’ and he didn’t want to provide any ‘catnip’ by commenting on issues like ACORN, which isn’t a big issue according to the President. A group eligible for over $8 billion in taxpayer money giving advice on tax evasion, prostitution, and running a brothel for underage illegal immigrants from El Salvador isn’t an important story? Glenn talks with David Horowitz about Obama’s tactics and how to combat them…
The American people wanted to know how close candidate Obama was to William Ayers to see if he had any influence on policy. Yet the fringe media doesn't even bother to look into it...

President Obama announced that he is abandoning the missile defense shield in Europe. Glenn talks about Obama's foreign policy and wonders whose best interest does he really have at heart---America, or GE? Glenn explains...
Surely you've come across this idiot in your day to day life -- the one who loves the Prius more than anything and hypes how well they are selling. Next time you encounter this eco-idiot, make sure and bring these stats about how unpopular hybrid cars actually are. Where could you get these wonderful stats?
Sep. 17, 2009
The paradigm is changing. Just a few short months ago you felt alone. You felt your voice didn't matter. The frustration led you to act, to demand (many for the first time) that your voice be heard.
Whoa, the end must truly be near -- Glenn Beck is on the cover of Time Magazine.
A new Investors Business Daily Poll revealed that if the healthcare bill passes, 45% of doctors will quit. Wow, what overwhelming support from the medical community. It's probably just because those greedy, evil doctors know the gig is up on their amputations for cash scheme...
If you have a friend who doesn't have a problem with government spending, they are either the dumbest person alive or a Communist (or more likely, both). It also means you will have your work cut out for you in turning them around. That's where we come in -- Glenn's new book, Arguing with Idiots, has all the facts that will help you turn that idiot communist friend of yours into a rational human being.

A congressman I knew almost nothing about just a few days ago is the focus of a firestorm. Why? Because during President Obama's speech Rep. Joe Wilson said two words: "You lie."
No, not THAT Dave Thomas but the Dave Thomas who is running against Bob Inglis. Do you remember Representative Bob Inglis? He's the dolt who told people to 'turn off Glenn Beck' and got booed.
With the release of his latest book 'Arguing with Idiots: How to stop small minds and big government" imminent, it's time to argue with the idiot. Pat Gray plays the guest idiot as he and Glenn play out how the argument should go, if you have all the facts. Today's topic: hybrids. Your liberal friend can't understand why everyone doesn't have one. What do you say?
They say that with age comes wisdom -- Jimmy Carter is doing his level best to disprove that theory. Speaking to NBC's Brian Williams in an interview, Carter deftly pointed out that the only reason people are opposed to Barack Obama's healthcare plan is because they hate black people. Carter's 'evidence' ? That he lived in the South.
We have some absolutely stunning video, but here's what I hope you'll keep in mind on this story: Everybody has this story wrong. While it obviously involves ACORN, it's not about, ACORN.
Sep. 15, 2009
If you didn't think ACORN could get any worse after several of their employees (in multiple locations) tried to help a prostitute buy a house, lie to the IRS and run a brothel with underage hookers from El Salvador...you were wrong.
Andrew Breitbart from Breitbart.com joined Glenn to talk more about the media negligence on this ACORN story. How is it possible the media can largely ignore a story that has sex, scandal AND the video? Glenn showed the scoreboard on TV this week showing the coverage where Fox News is hitting the story and pretty much no one else is bothering to cover it. Not only that, it took a 20 year old girl and a 25 year old guy to uncover this scandal -- where is the mainstream media?
Scott Baker, co-host of the B-cast on Breitbart TV, joined Glenn and the two take a closer look at the 'family' history of his radical relationships. Is it just bad luck that Barack Obama keeps having shady, Communist and radical friends popping up everywhere? Scott has done the legwork and paints the picture...(
2 Acorn employees were fired - but will anyone investigate the incident? The answer is yes -- but sadly, the only thing the attorneys in Maryland see wrong is how the video was illegally recorded.
The 9/12 rally happened this weekend and if there was any question on where America stands right now, I think images from Washington, D.C., on Saturday should help answer them.
Astonishing twisters captured by storm-chasing photographer
Sep. 14, 2009
Sure, you helped get one of the Czars canned -- but don't gloat, because that wasn't the goal in the first place. The goal was to find out what in the world the communist was doing there in the first place. That question was not answered, which is a problem because dozens more Czars still remain. Do you know the name John Holdren? If you do great -- then pass it on to one of your friends who doesn't. If you don't...WARNING: This guys views are so nuts, you may become more crazy just by viewing them.
What an amazing turn out in Washington DC -- hundreds of thousands of regular schlub's like let it be known that you are not happy with the out of control government.

We changed for a brief time and then slipped right back into bickering, partisan, factions. What happened? How did we lose that 9/12 feeling so quickly?

In my lifetime, there has never been a bigger story than the events that took place on September 11, 2001. When 19 Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial planes and carried out their suicide attacks, murdering 3,000 people — it changed us.
The Glenn Beck Insider Video Archive
Here we are, eight years removed from the biggest terrorist attack on American soil and we once again remember the events of that day. One thing that bothers Glenn on this day -- is the fact we still have a big, giant hole in the ground where the trade centers once stood. Why? Is 8 years too little time for America to construct a high rise tower? Have we lost our ingenuity? Glenn talks about the real reason we are not rebuilding.
Tomorrow is the big day as 9/12ers and Americans everywhere are heading to Washington, DC to stand and let the government know they are not happy with everything that is going on. It's not about left vs. right, it's about responsibility.
Probably not the best timing in the world, but the Coast Guard apparently conducted a training exercise...today...near the presidential motorcade...CNN is getting hammered because they went with wall to wall coverage on the exercise, but can you blame them? Glenn, Stu and Pat talk about it and in the process note that Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says 'I try not to question law enforcement' ... really? What about 'the police acted stupidly'?
If your company had one person trying to help prostitutes bring 14 year old girls into the country for the sex trade, commit tax fraud, among other violations -- that would be really bad. But just imagine if it happened twice. That's exactly what happened with ACORN -- and once again there's damming video proof...
Glenn is holding a special after show show for Insiders only -- he'll be talking to 9/12ers and find out how real, actual grassroots organizations are coming together to be heard in Washington DC.
Glenn will broadcast 9-12 coverage LIVE on the Fox News Channel on Saturday, September 12th from 1pm-3pm ET. Spread the word...

Don't get bogged down in the nonsense; the day-to-day political garbage. It's about more than just what's on page 100 of the health care bill. It's about an entire system of corruption.
Going undercover and posing as a couple who are a pimp and a prostitute, the helpful ACORN advisor gives them tips on tax fraud, how to keep those underage sex slaves under the radar of the government, all with a smile.
Glenn talks with the woman who went undercover to expose ACORN, and talks with her to see if she has any understanding just how ruthless ACORN is. This amazing 20 year old cares enough about her country to risk her own well being to bring the truth. How many politicians can you say that about? And she's 20. Check out the interview...
Sep. 9, 2009
While everyone else is talking about the health care bill and the games of health care reform, let me sum up the speech this way: It doesn't matter.
Unfortunately for Van Jones, there is one less Czar to deal with. Unfortunately for the rest of us there are still over 30 Czars left to worry about...

My phone, e-mail and Twitter were hammered all weekend with people offering congratulations. First, let me say I'm not the one to congratulate...
For a limited time only Insiders have exclusive access to streaming video of Glenn Beck's Common Sense Comedy Tour. Learn more...
All weekend long Glenn's Twitter and email was exploding with 'congrats' emails. Glenn's reaction today is 'congrats for what?' as the questions he's been asking still remain unanswered.
Controversy erupted over Obama's big address to America's youth today -- with many parents pulling their kids out of the speech. While the speech itself is fairly tame, it was the State Department proposed lesson plan for students that raised eyebrows. Calling for students to, among other things, write letters to themselves asking how they could help the President achieve his goals. Previous presidents have given similar speeches, but those Presidents didn't then try and turn students into a bunch of little community organizers.
Congressman Paul Broun joined Glenn today to talk about what the mood is inside Washington DC. Are Republicans still playing the same old game of politics? Or are they waking up to the fact that there is something much, much bigger going on? While Glenn has said, and stands by, that both sides have sold us out for power, there are still a few on the inside who get it. Michele Bachmann is one who is willing to step out and walk into the buzzsaw. How many others are there?
The American people stood up and demanded answers . . .

Capitalism is evil. That is the conclusion U.S. documentary maker Michael Moore comes to in his latest movie "Capitalism: A Love Story," which premieres at the Venice film festival Sunday.

Glenn Beck investigates President Obama's growing team of 'czars,' special advisers
Sep. 3, 2009
If your politician doesn't believe, support or reflect these beliefs in their actions then they aren't supporting you. More importantly, they aren't supporting, protecting or defending the Constitution
The bloggers and detractors can say I'm targeting Van Jones, but too many things have been happening in this country that just don't make sense.
Van Jones, the Green Czar who seems to take the title of 'Czar' very seriously, gave an interview to 'Uprising Radio' way back in 2008. He reveals a lot about how he thinks in the interview, including his philosophy on planting a seed and letting it grow. That's neat and everything, except for one little problem. He wants 'radical kernels' to be planted in order to lead to a revolution, all through the vehicle of the Green movement. Useful idiots, ever hear of them? If you are a green freak --- guess what, that's what you are!

Your food is going to cost more, some products will be much harder to get and I'll tell you why: California's farmers are suffering through an environmental crisis and the government is only making it worse.
All week on radio and TV Glenn asked the tough questions -- because our republic is being transformed before our very eyes. The time for silent dissent has long passed, and now the hard questions need to be asked.
This guy is a machine, and more importantly he's advising the President. Yesterday we showed you some of Jones anti-capitalist rantings from waaay back in 2009, and here are some more from that distant time, February 2009.
When you express your concerns over the growing size of government and power grabs by politicians, does your liberal friend shrug it off and call you a fear mongerer?

We're going to take another look at our new green jobs czar or whatever they want to call him. But what I want to do is to really take a good, hard look at who Van Jones is.
Free audio: After weeks of asking the White House to answer questions on the radical background and beliefs of Obama's Green Jobs Czar they STILL have not responded. Probably with good reason...
Glenn gives the very latest on what is happening in the build up to the big '9/12' event. If you haven't made plans to head down to DC and let your politicians know you WILL vote them out if they don't stop the nonsense, get involved!
Which one of our mighty Czars recently said this: "And our Native American sisters and brothers who were pushed and bullied and mistreated and shoved into all the land we didn't want, where it was all hot and windy, well, guess what. Renewable energy. Guess what, solar industry. Guess what, wind industry. They now own and control 80% of the renewable energy resources. No more broken treaties. No more broken treaties. Give them the wealth. Give them the wealth. Give them the dignity. Give them the respect that they deserve. No justice on stolen land. We owe them a debt." It's so wonderfully, Communist, isn't it? Find out which wacky Czar is all for spreading the wealth!
It's a Czar Tuesday! Glenn's new book 'Arguing with Idiots' comes out later this month (you can pre-order your copy today) and todays argument centers around the Czar of the Day: Van Jones. The self avowed Communist has a lot to say -- which is a good thing, because we know exactly where he stands. Next time your 'in the tank' friend who blindly supports Obama complains, get the facts on his radical Czars. If they STILL aren't turned around, then congratulations, you are friends with a Commie!

Behind the scene's of Glenn Beck on Fox News
Aug. 28, 2009
The president said he was going to fundamentally transform America. Since January 20, he's been racing full steam ahead toward doing just that.
Glenn has some reasonable questions for unreasonable times...
Oh, lets hope our new FCC diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd gets his way and takes conservatives off the air in favor of the fine folks at NPR radio! It's exciting stuff -- perfect for the insomniac in desperate need of sleep. And not only is it amazingly boring, it's biased too! Check out this wonderful, taxpayer funded coverage of the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy.
All week we've been asking tough questions — here's one more, Mr. President: Why do we need a civilian national security force that is "just as strong, just as powerful" as the military?
Looking for Glenn? You may not be able to find him on your radio dial, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss your Glenn fix in the morning.

Do you want this poster on the walls in your child's classroom?
The White House is upset with Glenn -- they want him to stop calling the czars, czars. No mention on the militant Marxist and Communist commentaries -- that's not offensive. Nope -- just don't you dare call them czars!
Diversity -- it's the perfect word for liberals. It sounds so warm and fuzzy, but really it's just another socialist philosophy.
Glenn Beck commenting on radio today about 9/12: "There is a march on Washington that is happening on the 12th of September. I will be covering that and also other 9/12 rallies that are asking honest questions of our government. It's not only our God‑given right to ask questions of our government; it is our required duty." How can you get involved?
Aug. 26, 2009
Rush Limbaugh on Glenn Beck
I've also showed you the framework that — to quote Barack Obama — is "fundamentally transforming America." But this is much bigger than Barack Obama. Powerful special interest groups began to lay this framework over the last few years.
On Conan last night, Bill Maher said a lot of ridiculous things including that President Obama should just ram healthcare down America's throat because people are 'too stupid' to get it.
This Czar is doing a fantastic job right now, only making miscalculations to the tune of about $2 trillion or so. Hey, whats a few trillion between friends, right? The new hit game sweeping the country is none other than Glenn Beck's 'Know! Your! Czars!'
Todays arguing with idiots segment is devoted to the moron in your life who thinks Obama is doing a great job with the economy AND think taxing the rich is a good idea. Your loving liberal friend can't understand why the rich shouldn't support everyone else -- after all, they have like 99% of the wealth, right? Glenn gives the idiot the facts to help you win this argument next time it rears its ugly head.
Keith Olbermann has an interesting way of interpreting ratings. He must be an optimist because as he views his ratings (he gets clobbered every night by O'reilly, Glenn and most other Fox shows) he 'intruded' his own conversations with 'the facts' about his ratings. He claimed to be the highest rated show out there in the cable news world. That's not even close to true, but when you hear his logic on HOW he justifies it, well, you'll get a good laugh. God help you, Keith!

If you truly ask what Jefferson called honest questions, with a sincere heart, the answers may take you to very uncomfortable places.
The 9-12 Project. Congress, please don't underestimate the American people.
Does HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius have any clue? Apparently not, because as she's trying to describe the benefits of government run healthcare, she's actually describing the pitfall of it.
Glenn's newest game show segment is 'Know! Your! Czars!' and is sure to be a super super classic. Todays featured Czar says 'individual rights must be balanced against the power of the government to control human reproduction' and 'some people, respected legislators, judges and lawyers included, have viewed the right to have children as a fundamental and inalienable right, yet neither the Declaration of Independence, nor the Constitution mentions a right to reproduce'. How convenient! The founders obviously wanted government to control the population. Do you know which Czar said it?
This dog is either a genius, or the owners have waaaay too much free time on their hands...
Aug. 24, 2009
It isn't Nancy Pelsoi or Barney Frank or Harry Reid. It goes much deeper than that, and causes Glenn to caution against prematurely celebrating a 'win' on healthcare because they (allegedly) backed off the public option. Don't believe it for a second -- all they want is a foot in the door, and eventually they'll get what they want. How? Glenn explains and reveals who is behind actually writing these massive bills that no one in Congress bothers to read before they vote on.
Jon Stewart mocked Glenn for saying America's healthcare system is the best in the world, while also making a video complaining about his butt surgery. How could Glenn possibly reconcile this? He explains...
Apparently even the left is admitting that Obama is a liar -- but, to them he is a 'charming' liar. Wow.

Glenn wants to make sure you keep up on your Czars -- watchdogs, keep a close eye on these nutjobs. Communist Van Jones (Green Czar), 'Cost Benefit' geek and Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein, Science Czar John Holdren (forced abortions) are just a few of the wacko's we've found so far. Here is the list of all the current known Czars. Keep a close eye on em -- and report any 'fishy' activity.

We’re living in a different world. Long gone are the years of our grandparents, when times were simple and if you worked hard life would reward you. If you remember what the world was like before nanny state laws and gun control, before stimulus packages and bailouts please share your story with us. We want to hear from you!
If disagreeing with creepy wording in the "cash for clunkers" is crazy, then apparently the government is crazy too — because they agreed with me.
Joseph Finder, author of the new book Vanished which will be released on Tuesday, joined Glenn on the program today. Finder is an expert on Russia and talks about his previous investigative journalism in Moscow. They discuss why Obama met with Putin when he went to Moscow for the Summit? Get Finder’s take on what really happened. Glenn asks why our government is working to cozy up to Russia and our supposed enemies in the Middle East?
Aug. 13, 2009
The radicals of the left, many of whom now work or meet at the White House, have co-opted the media and they want you to shut up; and they'll do anything to make it happen.
Katy Abram talked with Glenn today on the radio program. She is the mom who laid in to Arlen Specter (in a firm, but respectful way) and gave him an earful on what she thought about Government run healthcare.
Wonder what the UN is up to these days, the the hundreds of millions in taxpayer money we give them every year? Don't worry, it's money well spent. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has been busy figuring out when Global warming will destroy the earth -- and he's decided that it's in about 120 days or so. Yeah, Ban Ki is really on top of things -- some long hard days at the office figuring that one out.

Where Are the Tough Questions About Health Care Reform? I'd even settle for the simple questions, like: Mr. President, can you name a doctor that has ripped kids' tonsils or lopped-off feet for cash?
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee talks on the phone as a woman asks a question at a town hall event
The horror of eugenics happened; what can we learn from that mistake? Take a look in this video from the Tuesday, Aug 11 airing of Glenn Beck on Fox News...
The left finds themselves in unfamiliar territory -- battling popular unrest with their president and a Congress run by their party. How are they handling the dissent? As any slimy politician would: by demeaning, discrediting and intimidating those who disagree.
Ooops, he did it again -- President Obama attacked those greedy, evil doctors. First they wanted to rip the tonsils out of little children, now they want to amputate your limbs...for cash! It's amazing -- this guy can cut deals with people behind closed doors -- and then openly scold them in public. Well, which is it Barack? Are they your partners or your enemies?
Just yesterday, Barack Obama tried to ease public fears that under his healthcare plan, the value of life will be diminished. For example, the elderly fear that under a government run system, when the inevitable shortage comes, government officials will be deciding who lives and who dies. Drudge unearthed this interview from back in April, when Barack Obama said something seemingly the exact opposite of yesterday. He contemplated the 'morality' of giving an elderly person 'towards the end of their life' medical care.

Bank of America Corp will likely face more embarrassing disclosures about bonuses paid at Merrill Lynch & Co after a federal judge refused to rubber-stamp a settlement over the $3.6 billion of payouts.
Glenn reacts to Arlen's latest craptastic event, and others around the country. Plus, an in-depth report on the members of the 'mob'.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton apparently doesn't like when people ask her what her husband thinks about something -- she got very snippy when a student asked her what her husband thought about a particular issue. Hillary angrily responded with 'I'm the Secretary of State' nonsense, as if she was in the third grade. The best part is that's not even what the student asked -- through a translator the student was asking what Obama thought.
Apparently, Keith Olbermann has put aside his entire business model (bashing the highest rated shows in hopes of free publicity) and has started a new one -- building bridges. He started by complimenting Glenn on his efforts to heal America's political divide, and gave a ringing endorsement of the '912 Project'. Thanks, Keith, for your kind words. If you ever come up with an idea that's doesn't use the word 'doth' or 'hath' we will be sure to compliment you on that.

Community organizing is all fun and games until someone starts organizing the community against the community-organized, government-run health care. Then it's time to start breaking some legs!
PETA's Bloody 'Unhappy Meals' Making Parents Angry
Add Congressman Bob Inglis to the long list of morons in politics. He told constituents at a Healthcare Town Hall meeting to 'turn off Glenn Beck' when he comes on. He was booed loudly.

Bladder Buddy - American Inventor
Aug. 7, 2009
All across the country Americans are coming out and demanding their voices be heard, but are the politicians listening? We present video of just some of the protests happening in city after city...
Did you catch the first 20 minutes of TV last night? If not, Glenn urges you to view it - it's vitally important that you understand the minds behind the scenes who have the Presidents this ear. Not only are their viewpoints out of the mainstream --they are completely insane. The White House Chief of Staff's brother is one of the guys who doesn't seem old people are worth much -- while Science and Technology Czar believes babies need to be 'given the essential early socializing experiences and sufficient nourishing food during the crucial early years after birth' before they "will ultimately develop into a human being." More from Glenn...(
The closer we get to Universal Healthcare down my throat, the more frustrated people are getting. Glenn reminds people to be heard---but most of all be peaceful, no matter what the union thugs sent to these events do to provoke you. Glenn reacts to all the attention coming out of the healthcare town hall events...
Demolition in Turkey Goes Wrong
Aug. 6, 2009
Here's The One Thing: This isn't a GOP mob or "manufactured anger." America — Democrat, Republican and independent — senses in her gut something isn't right.
She's getting some tough, tough questioning in this confirmation hearing. In depth, probing legal questions like 'your eyes twinkle'. Ok, not exactly that but pretty close. Close enough to have Glenn play 'Hot for Teacher' under the ridiculous questioning -- and it actually fits. Looks like the wise Latina Sotomayor will breeze on in to the highest court in the land.
Dr. Rand Paul, son of Congressman Ron Paul, announced his run for Senator (KY) yesterday. Paul, the first to sign the 912 candidate contract, talked with Glenn in hour 3 of the program today in sort of a getting to know you interview. What does the younger Paul believe and where does he stand on the issues?
Steny Hoyer gets confronted with a man claiming to be a registered democrat on the healthcare issue at a town hall event on healthcare.
Aug. 5, 2009
Glenn is painting again! He gave a preview of the painting he's currently working on -- here's some pictures of genius in progress....
Are you one of the tens of thousands of people who don't want government-run health care and showed up at a town hall or a rally to let it be known?
Video: Barack Obama ads a Dis-information Czar to his list. So we’ve added a dis-dis-information Czar to our staff, in the form of Stu.
Sometimes the truth hurts, so the White House reaction to the GOP misinformation on President Obama's view on Healthcare is understandable. They were upset and needed to take it out on someone. Unfortunately, the defense is kinda silly considering there is video and audio of Barack Obama saying exactly what was claimed. He wants a single payer system. Clear as day. Yet, the White House claims the words were cherry picked and taken out of context. That's a funny complaint coming from someone on the left, who only seem to get their news from left wing bloggers who do just that for a living.
Remember the outrage when the auto CEO's flew into Washington, DC -- because they took private jets? They were scolded by Congress in a dog and pony show on TV 'how dare you!'. Once again the do as I say not as I do mentality prevails in DC -- as Congress has just purchased 3 private planes at the super low cost of $200 million dollars. Apparently Congress is completely oblivious to the hypocrisy -- or they think they are so important that it's justified.
Don't bother looking for the California Assembly's roll-call record on the plan to open new offshore oil drilling off the Santa Barbara coast for the first time in 40 years. It's not there.

The World Health Organization stuck on Tuesday to its statement that about two billion people could catch H1N1 influenza by the time the flu pandemic ends.
Pat Gray apparently brought his TX sized appetite with him to NY...Welcome aboard Pat!
It's a very special day: It's President Obama's birthday. It's been an amazing life for the 44th president. I, like the rest of America, am inspired by his story, so I'd like to share it with you.
Glenn talks with our favorite British politician, Daniel Hannan. While not sure if it's solely because of the accent -- Glenn would vote for him in a heartbeat if he ever ran for office in America.
Glenn interviews best selling author Chris Reich about his latest thriller, Rules of Vengeance. Glenn's about halfway through it and couldn't recommend it more. An absolute page turner -- it has Glenn completely guessing at every twist and turn. They also talk about Russia, as Reich has done so much research on the country, are they still the evil empire or not?
Aug. 3, 2009
Apparently I committed the ultimate sin in the liberal blogging world: I questioned a government program. "Cash for clunkers" had some Orwellian wording in it that was pretty creepy and just by bringing that up, the liberal blogs went nuts.
Not since the glory days of the hammer and sickle has a country been so proud to have 'czars'. Glenn talks to Michelle Malkin about her latest book, Culture of Corruption, that talks about the 'czar' uprising.
Late Friday Glenn brought you the news that dealerships participating in the Cash for Clunkers program received a suspicious warning from the government website when they logged in. No person in their right mind would hit 'agree' to this warning --- except of course dealers who just sold a bunch of cars at a severely discounted rate. What does the warning say?
"I don't think we're going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There's going to be potentially some transition process..."

Obama's revealing body language
Jul. 31, 2009
We need you to keep watch over the most perfect political document ever given to mankind. Heaven knows our politicians aren't doing it.
There is a twitter list being passed around about the healthcare bill. Are you wondering if these tweets are true or not? Check out this analysis of the tweets from the Fox News Brain Room.
Leave it to Glenn to find a way to tie the Cash for Clunkers government program to one of the nightmare progressive presidents of the past -- but it really didn't take much effort.
The big beer summit, the one the media was all a tingle about, finally happened yesterday and shocker --- nothing came out of it. Well, almost nothing: Obama came off looking like the good guy. Even though it was his idiotic comments that started the whole mess. The parties agreed to disagree -- which is amazing considering this officer clearly deserved an apology.
Glenn talked today with a 30 year old listener who wrote a really cool song about the things going on today. Glenn saw the song after someone had 'tweeted' it to him, and now the musician may get a chance to fully produce the song. Finally, a common sense kid with some talent! Usually the left has the market cornered on that front -- check out the song and stay tuned for the final version!
Wouldn't it be great if there were 10 million Constitutional Watchdogs? You know, a group large enough to protect it from being destroyed and banished to irrelevance by people like, say, the President?
Jul. 30, 2009
The media is all a-tingle over President Obama's meeting with Sergeant James Crowley and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. at the White House...
Glenn lays out the history of how we got here, where we currently sit in the grand plan and most importantly answers the question fans ask most: what can we do about it?
Glenn takes a caller who reminds him of the amazing bill that's out there now -- introduced yesterday, H.R. 3247, that would establish a social and behavioral science research program.
It all seemed like the perfect scheme -- the government will pay you $4500 for your 'clunker' -- all you have to do is get a newer car that has better gas mileage. And voila! You just helped the environment AND got a new car. A win win for sure! Well -- sort of. There are a few 'kinks' in the government plan. What are they?

I've always wanted to be a Community Organizer, because I love communities and I love being organized! Here's The One Thing: The community organizer in chief is transforming us, but why isn't anyone noticing?
Print out the sign above and let people know you've had enough. Listen to the show for more details...
Yup, Rep. John Conyers of Michigan actually said that -- with a straight face. Hmm, don't know John -- why would you read a 1,000 page bill? The saints in politics would never try to slip something in the bill that didn't really belong, was a favor to some constituent, or unconstitutional. Right? Riiiiight.
The loving liberals in New York City are doing what they can to help the homeless, because they care. They care so much, in fact, that they are buying them airplane tickets and telling them to get the hell outta there. Glenn thinks he could improve the plan -- as he's found some opportunities that the government missed out on. What are they?
Glenn details how you can "Look at what’s going on today, with “better eyes” than you’ve ever used before"... Because it is more important now than ever before.
Here is the surprise of the century -- Glenn gave an opinion that liberal bloggers disagree with! Stop the presses everybody, Glenn Beck and liberal bloggers disagree on something!
Obama administration linking social justice to 'green job'
Jul. 28, 2009
Robot attacked Swedish factory worker
At the end of the sixth month, President Obama looked over all he had created and said that it was very good. So he declared the seventh month a month of rest. "The messiah" is going on vacation.
The second installment of the series focuses on the history behind how we got here.
Glenn goes through audio of 'The One' basically telling us what he had in store for us. Unfortunately, too many people got caught up in creating funny 'Obama' euphemisms while he was describing his plans to destroy America.
Glenn took another misguided liberal caller -- who was off on so many things.
Glenn's Interview with Michelle Malkin about her new book 'Culture of Corruption' in hour 3 of the program today.
The longer this story goes on, the worse and worse it gets for President Obama. He defended his Harvard friend (Henry Gates) and now he's paying the price. After saying the police acted 'stupidly', the facts are starting to come out and (gasp!) the only stupid person in this situation is Henry Gates. Listen to the 9-1-1 call of the woman who saw the possible B & E in progress -- she doesn't even say anything about race until she's asked -- and after that she only commits to 'maybe Hispanic'. Good job bashing police with no facts, Barack. Glenn goes over the details and audio of the 9-1-1 call AND the audio of the officer calling in.
Governments waste money, this we all know. But usually they at least attempt to cloak the fact they are wasting money. The Obama administration is finding it's pretty difficult to cloak $787 billion in wasteful spending. Spending on things (not making this up) as toilet restoration. Tens of millions of dollars in fixing crappers. Amazingly, it gets worse---where is $2.8 million of the crapper fund going?
Jul. 27, 2009
If you want to understand Barack Obama, you've got to think like a community organizer — one that is transforming America into some sort of a thugocracy, and in the process trampling on and erasing our individual rights.
What Russian pilots will do for a buck
Yes, Mr. Doomsday himself actually believes America has a future! In a special series to the email newsletter all week - Glenn lays out the history of how we got here, where we currently sit in the grand plan and most importantly answers the question fans ask most: what can we do about it?
Remember when Arlen Specter said that despite changing parties, he was going to be the same old Arlen? Well, that's pretty much held true - he's voted 97% of the time with Democrats since the switch.
Liberal bloggers went ballistic over Glenn's passing comment on TV last week, when he mentioned he brought his gun with him to the movies and didn't shoot anyone. Yet another example of the disconnect Washington DC, New York and other liberal haven's have with reality---they just cannot understand the need for guns and think anyone who has one will end up killing someone. Glenn reacts to the liberal reaction
Jul. 26, 2009
Iran wants nukes. Taxes are going up. Obama's numbers are going down. American is firmly on a path to socialism. But you knew all that already so here's a video of a dog biting it's own leg...
Hey, if you are making minimum wage, I've got some good news: Your life is about to change. Yes, it's time to celebrate; you just got a raise — from $6.55/hr to $7.25/hr.
One of President Obama's Harvard professor friends had a bit of a run-in with the police after returning from a trip to China. Controversy erupted when Gates immediately cried racism, and the officer is not backing down saying he did nothing wrong. President Obama made matters worse by saying, at his news conference on Health Care, that the police 'acted stupidly'. Was the Gates story brought up on purpose by Obama?
Jul. 23, 2009
If we look at everything happening in Washington and it doesn't make sense, it's because we're applying the same logic we've always used. Today, we're going to talk about green energy, health care and all of these bills in a new context.
What did Robert get for his birthday?
Obama was asked if he'd like to live under the Health Care plan that he is proposing, his answer was 'It's not about me' because he has a doctor following him at all times. Hey, it's great to be implementing massive socialist programs when you don't have to live by them!
President Obama has long said he's not for reparations. Of course, the media leaves it at that -- because that's the mainstream view so they want him to look good. But, the real reason Obama is not for reparations is because he feels the don't go far enough. He actually 'fears' them because he thinks the public would assume the score is settled. He's for reparations all right -- he's just going about getting them in a much scarier way.
How many nutty friends does Obama need to have come out of the woodwork in order to convince the American people that yes, his relationships ARE an issue. He's not just playing cards with these guys on a Saturday night -- no, he is making them Czars and appointing them to high level positions. One of the latest freaks is the Commie Science Czar -- Glenn exposes yet another crazy Obama friend.

Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine
Zdorovo comrades! Normally I'd say "Hello America," but here's The One Thing: This can't be the same country I grew up in...
In the UK a 22 year old man was denied liver treatment and died soon after. The reason he was denied? Because he couldn't prove he could stay sober. Despite having checked into AA and wanted to get better he was left to die.
Another little nugget of information for you: SUV's (allegedly) did not exist 55 million years ago -- BUT, according to scientists, they've found that there was indeed massive global warming 55 million years ago here on Earth. This little revelation prompted one scientist to wonder if all the current climate models are completely wrong. Time for Al Gore to fire up the propaganda machine and discredit another scientist!
The really American tradition of 'czars' is taking off under the Obama administration. He's got a whole slew of them at his side now -- and they are just great, Glenn loves them. And who said we didn't have to pay attention to Obama's associations -- they were so right! It's not like President Obama is appointing Czars at will who believe in things like forced abortions, putting sterilants in the drinking water, giving livestock and other animals the right to sue, determining the value of each human using some formula. Ignore all that, and come Dancing with the Czars!
Jul. 21, 2009
With President Obama's massive $1.5 trillion health care plan hogging up the news cycle, the Republicans and everyone else are asking: "Is this a socialist bill?" The answer to that one is easy: Yes, it is.
With all the crazy things occurring in America, Glenn is now asking the question: It looks like we are past the point of wondering if we are socialist, the more prevalent question now is do we want to be socialist?
Best selling author of the new thriller, The Defector, joined Glenn to talk more about our political ideology of America. Are we becoming more like Russia?

Google Trends for "Economic Depression"
Let's cut the president some slack on his broken campaign promises. Yes, he's not allowing five days public comment before signing bills; there are new taxes on people making under $250,000 a year; lobbyists still rule Washington D.C.; the planet is not yet healed. But...
Larry Summers, Obama's top economic advisor, sees some strong evidence that the economy is out of free fall. Summers says the recent decrease in Google searches for 'economic depression' are down to normal levels. Yes, that is correct -- Summers is a 'top' economic advisor.
Politicians think a progressive tax is the way to go -- and Obama wants to increase the top end of that tax another 5% or so. If you are not sure if you are for or against a progressive tax -- read Glenn's breakdown of what society would be like with progressive pricing. How do you think this would go over today?

Oscar Mayer Wienermobile crashes into Wis. home
Jul. 17, 2009
Almost anything, that is. Paul calls up and tries to help clear up any misconceptions about the environmental movement, and the only problem with his call is it made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Apparently old Joe doesn't mind the economy shedding hundreds of thousands of jobs every month, because he keeps telling people that the stimulus is working.
Remember when Senator Boxer humiliated a military officer for calling her ma'am instead of Senator? Apparently she didn't mind it so much coming from the head of the Black Chamber of Commerce, as he called her ma'am several times. The best part about this clip is when the gentleman calls out the Senator for being condescending -- Democrat on Democrat crime...love it!
Jul. 16, 2009
Forget about 'saving or creating' jobs, President Obama's policies are causing businesses to 'not hire or fire' people instead. We asked for your personal stories regarding this new health care plan and present some of our responses below...
NASA lost moon footage, but Hollywood restores it
Newly re-elected President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday his next government "would bring down the global arrogance," signaling a tougher approach by Tehran toward the West after last month's disputed election.
Which is better: private school or public school? Private bathrooms or public bathrooms? Private health care or public health care?
Forget about 'saving or creating'jobs, President Obama's policies are causing businesses to 'not hire or fire' people instead.
Glenn is always talking about Progressives and how they are making a move for control -- with bills like the massive health care plan that would make health care a 'right' for all Americans. Who was the first prominent American to call for, essentially, Universal Health? One of the poster child Presidents of the Progressive movement: FDR. President Obama is finishing off the job FDR started all those decades ago.
When in charge of a failing government program -- it's always a good idea to use taxpayer money ($700,00 of it) to send your 675 managers on....a resort getaway! Casino nights, seminars, dancers and more! A calculator would have probably sufficed, but what do you expect from the government? The Social Security getway is todays March to Socialism, check it out!
As if the title 'Czar' doesn't conjure up enough scary images, the ideas of Obama's new Science Czar only add fuel to the flame. What does the new top science guy think about population control? Well, he doesn't think it's a bad idea to entertain putting a sterilant in drinking water, or implanting contraception capsules in all women, or making pregnant single women get married or have forced abortions. No seriously, sounds American. Oh, have we mentioned this is a man who taught at Harvard?
Jul. 15, 2009
America has the best health care system in the world. Is it perfect? No. But it's still the best. Yet we're about to throw it all away in favor of... government-run health care.
If you're worried about how complicated a government run healthcare system will be -- don't worry, this handy flow chart should help.
President Obama likes to say that he is 'creating or saving' jobs. With this new government healthcare proposal and the taxes that come along with it -- it would make it difficult to create jobs.
Sure, the government will tell us they need to push this healthcare plan right on through because it's what we need. We can't have little kids without armpits running around uninsured now, can we? Poor little Sally Muckenfuch has no eyelids AND no insurance. It's horrifying. So quick! Pass this 1,000 page legislation before anyone can think about it! In the off chance you do want to think about it and find out what this plan really means --- and what it's really about -- see Glenn's review of the plan.
Glenn took a caller from Massachusetts named Kathy who seemed to love the idea of government run health care. After making the most idiotic statement (perhaps anyone has ever made to Glenn) "you don't care about the trillions of dollars to bail out the banks and all the credit card companies" but he complains about the trillions for health care -- Glenn explains the situation in the state that is currently suffering from Romney Care.
The global warming activists have us all a twitter over the rapidly rising temperatures -- you know the number, 0.8 degrees F. So, you can imagine Glenn's surprise when he learned that the Earth, some 55 million years ago, there was a spurt of warming that jacked the Earth's temps up between 9 and 16 degrees. Either they had some serious SUV's back then, or perhaps (and this is probably crazy talk), the Earth can warm and cool on it's own?
A sweeping overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system to be announced on Tuesday in the U.S. House of Representatives will include a surtax on millionaires of 5.4 percent, congressional sources said.

Some common sense solutions to stories where the mainstream media is not doing their job
The deficit just topped $1 trillion, which, according to Karl Rove, is a scary number. Rove says he doesn't fear just the stimulus as most of that hasn't even kicked in yet, so how did the deficit shoot up if the stimulus isn't the main cause?
It's a sad day in America - we've lost a Czar. The car Czar, Steve Rattner, has stepped down from his unelected post overseeing the auto industry. This is a shocker, no one could have seen the former New York Times reporter turned Media Consultant who was being investigated by the SEC and the state of New York leaving early. Looking on the bright side, the new Car Czar has an equally rich resume filled with experience in the automotive industry.
Glenn walks through the twisted web of lies with Goldman Sachs - a company that has it's slimy tentacles in more important places than you can possibly imagine. Ever wonder why AIG got bailed out and Lehman didn't? Wonder why no one is protesting Goldman's record bonuses while AIG executives had to endure ACORN members on their lawn? Special interest and Agenda -- Glenn walks you through the tangled web that is Goldman Sachs.
Glenn talks with 920 WHJJ's Helen Glover about the July 4th parades in Rhode Island, where a local group was banned for...wait for it...handing out the U.S. Constitution from their float. You can't make this stuff up!

Saying the new H1N1 virus is "unstoppable", the World Health Organization gave drug makers a full go-ahead to manufacture vaccines against the pandemic influenza strain on Monday and said healthcare workers should be the first to get one.
While the media fawns at another "barrier" being broken, more important stories are being missed. And yes, the media stinks on ice, but this time it's not necessarily all their fault.
Many are bashing the move by Sarah Palin to resign, saying she's left the state high and dry. But, there are lots of questions raised from the move. Is she focusing on 2012? Is she bailing on politics? Glenn gives his thoughts on the resignation...
Normally this would be a number no company would ever, EVER, shell out for a website. Unless of course, the company is the federal government! The $18 million, mind you, is not for the creation of a web site -- it's for the redesign of the site. The site, recovery.gov (which Joe Biden couldn't remember the 'number' of) is supposed to track where stimulus money is going. For $18 million the site itself should be creating jobs -- but let us not be completely negative. Glenn tries to find the positive in the situation.
Al Gore, apparently feeling free to speak about radical left ideas while overseas, said that the US Climate Bill will help bring about 'global governance'. Ummm, Al, even leftists know not to label bills they want passed with terms like 'it will help global governance'. This bill is a disaster on so many levels, it's no wonder it was so long that no one could read it before they voted on it.
What did Stu do on his summer vacation? He watched a documentary on the radical group the Weather Underground... Sounds like a great vacation.

President Barack Obama promised to fix healthcare and trim the federal budget deficit, all without raising taxes on anyone but the wealthiest Americans. It's a promise he's already broken and probably will have to break again.

One of the problems with Mitt Romney was the health care plan he implemented in MA. The complaint was that once he was gone the door was open to try and make it universal health. That's what happened - how did it turn out?
With our country in deep deep trouble - states like California are looking over the budgets and trying to find anything they can to cut. In California, the Governator started looking at shutting down the state park system indefinitely in order to help the state survive. Soon after that, California gets a letter from the Department of the Interior saying, basically, don't do that. Glenn does not react positively to the land grab by the Fed and talks about National Parks. Why do we have em anyway?

When I look at the news everyday, I wonder if it's even possible for us to unplug from common sense any more than we already have.
Nazi Stealth Jet Could Have Won War for Hitler
In the liberal bastion of New Jersey they have started hanging little 'Project Porchlight' boxes on doorknobs all across the state - inside is a note that reads "Change a bulb and save. A CFL bulb uses up to 75 less energy old-fashioned bulbs. Save up to $30 in energy costs. Every light bulb change means less pollution, lower cost and reduced demand for electricity which means healthier, cleaner air, environmental and public health benefits. Be the light in your community. This lamp contains Mercury." This is paid for with tax dollars. Hence, the noose.
Glenn talks with Senator Jim Demint who has a new book out which gives an inside look into why we are slipping into socialism and what we can do about it.
Glenn is outraged over the latest tax hike in New York - this one was slipped in the middle of a mammoth health care bill of all things. Not only does it raise taxes - it makes the tax retroactive and they are reaching back to take money earned previous to the passing of the bill. If they can do that, Glenn wonders, does he qualify for state benefits for the times in his life he was broke and didn't receive any?
Glenn talks with best selling author Brad Thor about his latest book and about everything going on in the country today. Brad says that while we are getting an onlsaught of liberal policies jammed down our throat, he'd actually prefer that to what John McCain would have offered which was still bad, just a slower bleed. Brad prefers the slaughter because that, in his view, will open peoples eyes to the massive government expansion we are residing over. Hopefully he's right -- there's a lot on the line.

While most of the media was watching more coverage of Michael Jackson, the cap-and-trade bill passed in the House late Friday night 219-212 — proving once again that the one thing we should all be paying attention to is whatever the mainstream media is ignoring...
America's most beloved TV pitchman, Billy Mays, died this weekend at the age of 50. Autopsy is not complete and the only signs of any trouble was the flight Mays took the day before - it had a rough landing and baggage hit him in the head. He was dead the next morning. Glenn talks about the spokesman for miracle products like OxyClean, Kaboom, Orange Glow, Jupiter Jack and more -- and shows that this guy is even more credible than the clowns who passed the Cap & Tax bill on Friday.
Seems that people may be taking Glenn's advice -- to save, store and prepare as personal savings is up 4% in America. It doesn't take a genius to see the government is destroying our wealth. But, when you are attempting to put money into savings make sure you avoid what this guy did and do NOT deposit $200 along with some cocaine and pot, it may cost you $3000 in bail money.

World's Ugliest Dog Winners Unveiled
Jun. 26, 2009
It's Friday! What are your plans? Dinner? Blockbuster movie? Hey, you could always read the 1,500-page cap-and-trade bill — that's 1,200 plus 300 in amendments.
What better time to jam the Cap n Trade bill down our throat than on a Friday afternoon when Americans are not paying attention! Why would they want to do that, instead of bask in the glow of America's approval?
Glenn talked about his 4th of July party coming up -- and how it will be particularly enjoyable because of what the granola liberal neighbors will have to endure. Glenn explains all the activities he has planned - plus what did his neighbor call the cops on him for?

"Make Mine Freedom!" 1948 cartoon about saving the American dream!
There are a lot more important things going on in the world than the mating habits of Governor Sanford, but we've got to start with him because here's the one thing tonight: Character does matter.
House set to vote on Friday for a huge new tax...
Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina admitted to having cheated on his wife. The affair was with a woman from Argentina, which doomed this relationship from the start. Really, how stupid do you have to be not only to cheat on your wife -- but to pick someone from Argentina?
Glenn's theory is that the ABC infomercial on Obama's health care is just misdirection -- the administration doesn't want you to focus on whats really happening. While everyone is focused on the propaganda charges with ABC -- they won't notice that Cap & Trade has been jammed down our throats. Now, with Governor Sanford's debacle, you can bet the White House is cheering on yet another distraction taking eyes away from Cap & Tax.
Proof positive that our politicians are not only arrogant and corrupt, they are total morons. Governor Sanford should have taken the advice of Michael Chertoff and John Ashcroft -- never use email. Not only has the Governor admitted to a humiliating affair --- we get to read all of his pathetic attempts at romance. He even quotes the Bible during one of his love letters...to his mistress.
Glenn received a letter from a woman in Arizona. It is an open letter to our nation's leadership -- and apparently he isn't the only one feeling this way because we are getting tons of requests for copies of the letter. Here is the transcript of Glenn reading it on radio today.

A fair and completely unbiased look at Glenn Beck's Common Sense
President Obama had a weird moment in the press conference -- when he called on a liberal blogger (2nd - in between the AP and Reuters) and the transaction seemed as if it were rehearsed. The White House later admitted that they called the blogger and said they had been 'following' what they were reporting on and might ask a question. Seems like a little more than that if you actually see the exchange.
Freshman Congressman Jason Chaffetz from Utah is one of the few common sense people in the halls of Congress right now. One of the bills he's proposing would save taxpayers millions, and it's a great idea. Instead of hiring thousands of people to conduct the census, why not use another program that already has employees visiting houses each and every day -- the United States Postal Service. A common sense idea that makes so much sense it will certainly be shot down by Congress.
One way or another he's lying to you. In Tues press conference he said no one predicted the economy would tank. That's his excuse for the lack of results on the stimulus - that it just wasn't big enough.
A straight shooter who is well respected in the biz, Major Garrett from Fox News was called on during yesterday's press conference. His question, 'what took you so long' to comment on the protesters in Iran, drew annoyance from The One. Garrett talks about the exchange and offers an inside view to life in the White House press corps.
Jun. 23, 2009
Despite our economy's so-called "green shoots" — a phrase that's been used in a staggering 1,017 articles since the inauguration — some economists are calling for a third stimulus.
Glenn analyzes Obama's news conference on Iran and ACORN
Hospital-Themed Restaurant Serves 'Patients' Quadruple Bypass Burgers, Flatliner Fries
Once he became President, Barack Obama sneakily changed his wording on the giant job promises he made during the campaign. Instead of just 'creating' jobs, he added the words 'or save' to the phrase, leaving people to wonder exactly how he would calculate that number.
Obama is one of the most liberal politicians - especially when it comes to abortion. He's the only Illinois Senator who voiced opposition in 2001 to a bill that tried to protect babies who survived botched abortions. He will always side with the woman citing her right to choose. To have this position, one must not believe life begins at conception or even in the womb -- otherwise you would be admittedly advocating murder. So it's odd that Obama said, this Fathers Day in Parade Magazine, "That is why we need fathers to step up, to realize that their job does not end at conception". Wait, how can they be fathers at conception if the baby is not a baby at conception?
You remember Governor Sanford - he was the first governor to come out and turn down the stimulus money - of course he was later forced to take it by the courts, but the move made him the ire of the left. So when the Governor announced he was taking a few days away from the office, the media blows it up into a scandal. Glenn reacts to the media nonsense...
"Widespread support for Universal Health Care" is what the headline read, too bad the actual story said nothing of the sort. If you actually read the story, many of the poll questions show a completely different view: Americans do not feel that government will be able to provide better health care than we currently have.
Jun. 22, 2009
While the rest of the media is focused on the protests as a sign of a possible revolution in Iran, the one thing they're missing is that if Iran is truly looking for revolutionary change, they need support.
Ambassador John Bolton talks about the latest with Iran and what will happen next. Plus, he and Glenn talk about President Obama's foreign policy and the reason he believes so strongly in diplomacy - Obama is so arrogant that he believes his mere presence alone will cause world leaders to follow him. Maybe some will - but not the guy who thinks America is 'the Great Satan'.
A real shocker coming from DC -- a Senator announcing an extramarital affair. The real shocker is that Senator Ensign, who cheated on his wife, still has a higher approval rating than Senator Reid.
How many times can scientists be completely wrong about things they are completely certain about. The surprising part of this story is how they figured it out -- was it a huge study? Did the UN create some panel that looked it over for years? Nope. A couple guys got together and compared notes. If it's that easy to overturn a consensus, Glenn should just invite Al Gore to dinner and see what happens!
It's a story that's perplexed Glenn - why is no one covering it? It's by far the biggest financial scandal in history (if the bonds are real), and no one is confirming they are fake. A story that's raising more questions than answers, Glenn talks with journalist Deroy Murdock from Scripps-Howard to go over everything we know and don't know -- and all the possible explanations in the story.
Jun. 21, 2009
Here's the one thing: When the media completely ignores the biggest fraud in history, conspiracy theories are born.
Jun. 19, 2009
Ann Coulter on Sen. Boxer's decision to dress down Brig. Gen Michael Walsh.
Imagine the nerve of this woman -- this 'servant' of the people -- interrupting a Brigadier General to make sure that he stops referring to her as ma'am and starts calling her by the title she 'worked so hard for'...
He can't believe that the CBO would give his health care plan an actual price tag. Of course, the price tag is atrocious, so Dodd resorts to smearing the CBO and the 'since when does a bill be acceptable to some faceless bureaucrat?' card. That would be a legit complaint -- IF that's what was happening. Of course, that's not at all what's happening -- in reality, the CBO is just doing their job and telling the politicians how much their stupid ideas will cost. Faced with that fact, Dodd immediately resorts to some big conspiracy taking place.
Here is your taxpayer money hard at work - 19 emails exchanged and untold hours at your expense so that it was clear Liz (Elizabeth Becton), office manager/scheduler to Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash), NOT be called Liz, instead be called her full name. This 'alleged' exchange was reported on The Politico website, who also say that McDermott's office explained that an apology was soon coming. Of course, if you are too impatient for that you could always call McDermott's office and ask 'Liz' herself!

The American Federation of Police & Concerned Citizens, an organization that assists families of police officers killed or injured in the line of duty, recently honored Glenn with two awards.
We've been telling you about the firing of Inspector General Gerald Walpin, who the White House claims is, "confused, disoriented and unable to answer questions."
What can you do to speak up against the now accelerating growth of big government? It can be as simple as writing a letter, like Janet from Arizona did.
What does $6 million of your taxpayer money, via the stimulus, buy you? Congratulations America, you are the proud new owners of...a turtle tunnel! That's right, in Florida there is a roadkill problem on one particular stretch of road -- mostly turtles are getting hit. So in order to save them, we need a tunnel! Skeptics of course will question 'how do you know this is going to work?' to which the answer will be a referral to the toad tunnel California built in the 90's. How'd that work out for the toads? Not good. How will it work out for the turtles?
Two Japanese nationals were caught with $134.5 billion dollars of bonds -- which they were either smuggling or counterfeiting. There are huge fines in Italy for smuggling bonds that the government could get up to 40% of the value. They had $500 million bonds on them -- who in the world would be able to take $500 million bonds? Glenn breaks down the situation and goes over the possible scenario's.

Clones of 9/11 hero dog unveiled in Los Angeles
Not many details of President Obama's health care overhaul are being released, and given how bleak it looks that's probably by design. President Obama is 'losing sleep' over deficit concerns -- yet doesn't have a problem pushing a health care overhaul that will add, by the CBO's estimates, over a trillion dollars to the deficit.
Glenn talks with Brian Wilson from affiliate WSPD in Toledo, Ohio about the latest madness going on in a city being destroyed by liberal politicians -- parking tickets for parking in your own driveway.
Glenn talks with NYT Bestselling author and expert on all things Islamic Extremism about his latest book -- The Apostle, a thriller which he did research for in Afghanistan. Glenn talked with Brad about his apparent death wish (taking on Islamic extremists) and the current situation in Iran. What should America be doing?
In a special to Glenn Beck Insiders, NY Times Bestselling author Brad Thor will be doing an after show-show immediately following today's radio program.
Jun. 16, 2009
Where's the media on President Obama's firing of AmeriCorps Inspector General, Gerald Walpin?
The Vice President was tapped by the President to be the guy that watched every penny of the Stimulus -- make sure things are happening. That could be one of the reasons behind Amtrak --- in Wilmington, Delaware -- getting $22 million to upgrade some train cars. What, the $1.5 billion in taxpayer money Amtrak gets isn't good enough?
This video should make people think twice about listening to anything that Chairmen of the Fed Ben Bernanke says. It's a compellation of statements he's made from 2005-2007 that will have you 100% certain America is doomed if we continue to value what this moron says.
Jun. 15, 2009
Technical analyst Robert Prechter on Monday said he sees the United States losing its top AAA credit rating by the end of 2010, as he stuck by a deeply bearish outlook on the U.S. economy and stock market.
First 'anti-stab' knife to go on sale in Britain
Obama is pitching government-run health care to cover 46 million uninsured Americans, despite opposition from the AMA, Republicans and even some members of his own party.
More typical political behavior coming from Mr. Change himself President Barack Obama. He does something the President cannot do -- fire an Inspector General of Americorps without giving 30 days notice or giving Congress the details as to why. To make matters worse, it appears as if President Obama fired the IG because he was probing some possible fraud---with one of Obama's close friends, Kevin Johnson. Glenn goes through the information he has on this ongoing investigation.
Glenn is keeping a close on the Stimulus -- and the latest fraudulent claim coming from the government is that $109.5 million went to the refurbishing of a single VA Hospital in New York. In actuality it was $3 million -- only $106.5 million off, which is not bad by the federal governments standards. Glenn goes over the amazing details of what the government is doing that will save our country -- get the duct tape out because unless you think changing light bulbs will rescue America, your head will explode.

Michael Jackson: A Prophet? Remember about a decade ago when "The King of Insanity ... uh, I mean Pop" began to appear in public wearing that surgical mask and we all, for good reason, called him a lunatic, a nut and a mental patient?

In the NY Times economist Paul Krugman took some nasty shots at me, O'Reilly and other commentators, saying: "For the most part, the likes of FOX News and the RNC haven't directly incited violence," which suggests in a small part we have.
Paul Krugman of The New York Times thinks he knows why nut jobs decide to shoot people -- and of course it's because of the hosts on Fox News. In perhaps the most ridiculous (and dishonest) opinion piece of all time, Krugman uses complete and total lies to arrive at the bizarre theory that Glenn and others are responsible for wack jobs who decide to shoot people. Glenn goes over the dribble on radio today...
Glenn's big debut on 20/20 is tonight as the hours and hours of footage ABC and John Stossel shot will finally air tonight at 10pm eastern. Glenn has high hopes for the segment, considering Stossel's track record for being tough AND fair.
Jun. 11, 2009
Glenn Beck featured on ABC's 20/20...Friday Night, June 12th- 10pm ET
Here's the one thing: The news is history. It's not what's happening, but what's happened and neither are important.
Another from the shocking shocker file: liberal bloggers and media members alike are out there blaming the Holocaust Museum shooting on (wait for it) conservatives! Nowhere is the nonsense spewed worse than on the blogs, and Michelle Malkin is up on who is saying what about conservatives. Michelle joined Glenn and they talk about the sorry state of affairs that has people on the right afraid to speak up for fear of being labeled an extremist.
It's the largest construction project in the country right now -- it's the trans Hudson river tunnel project and it's only costing taxpayers $8.7 billion and over 8 years to build this monstrosity. The benefit? 'Some' commuters will shave 15 minutes off their commuting times. That sounds worth it.
Jun. 10, 2009
Everybody's going to tell you about the shooting at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, in which an old man apparently opened fire with a rifle, critically wounding a security guard before two other officers shot back.
Glenn talked with Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson and her parents -- they own a GM dealership in Minnesota and are being forced to cut ties with the company they've been doing business with for 90 years. The bizarre part is that they have been profitable for decades (only had a couple down years -- during the Carter days...shocker) and assume all the risk. Why would they be shut down? Glenn discusses what seems like a senseless job cutting move.
This guy is fed up and speaking out against government and Obama himself calling him a 'false prophet'. He's doing this even though as a Hollywood actor it probably won't help his career very much -- the loving liberals in Hollywood tend to love everyone, except of course conservatives. Listen to Glenn's interview with Jon Voight -- whose latest brilliant work came in '24' as Jonas Hodges.
You are going to be so shocked to learn this -- but the government is wasting your taxpayer money! Who would have seen this coming?
When the Founders established this great nation, America was in the business of freedom, liberty and justice. Today, we are in the business of banking, automobiles, energy and healthcare. For over 100 years, Progressivism has been incredulously woven into American culture. The government is getting bigger and our rights are getting smaller.
Jun. 9, 2009
Here's the one thing: A shadow government is giving the Obama administration unprecedented power with virtually no oversight.
As if you needed further proof of liberal media bias, Glenn played the audio today from the editor of Newsweek who said Obama was like 'a God' and above America...
In our obligatory 'imagine if George W. Bush did this' segment, Glenn looks at the absolutely ridiculous claims by President Obama that the stimulus has 'saved or created' 150,000 jobs. Actually, since the stimulus has passed 1.6 million jobs have been lost. Maybe President Obama needs a calculator, because 1.6 million jobs lost minus 150,000 jobs created or saved equals 1.45 million jobs lost. Remember when Bush was called the 'worst president since Herbert Hoover'? Glenn compares Bush and Obama job loss numbers along with the media reaction to both -- and gets another example of media bias in action.
Matthew Spalding joins Glenn today for a preview of his article that talks about how Progressivism has dug its roots deep into American structure---from where it started to where it's going.

Ultra Cool Metal Detector Sandals Are the Perfect Fit For the Super Lazy
Here's the one thing: When the government doesn't like how the game is going, they simply change the rules.
In New York City they are paying students for attending school and making good grades--initially kind of sounds like nonsense but Stu argues that it's kind of like capitalism--being rewarded for doing well. So is this a capitalist or socialist idea? Stu and Glenn debate NYC's scheme to keep kids in school...
Of course, moving to the right in the EU is about the same as Fidel Castro moving in line with Michael Moore. British MP Daniel Hannan explains exactly what this trend means -- are the Europeans finally seeing that the socialist policies are not working? Or are they just voting for change because things aren't going well economically at the moment. Glenn talks with our favorite conservative from the UK on today's program...
Remember when President Obama told us we had to pass the stimulus or America wouldn't make it? Remember when President Obama said Americans would start being helped by the stimulus on April 1st? Remember when our unemployment wasn't out of control? Glenn looks at the latest unemployment numbers and the promises dished out at the start of the stimulus...
Since Al Gore's hockey stick charts, you've been told that you are an evil person unless you carpool to work, drive a hybrid, take mass transit and so on. Well, scientists are now saying that (wait for it) taking mass transit may not be so hot for the environment after scientists realized they left out some factors in the calculations.

Jun. 3, 2009
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday that he and Cuban ally Fidel Castro risk being more conservative than U.S. President Barack Obama as Washington prepares to take control of General Motors Corp.
The story that just won't go away -- Amtrak-gate. Glenn's appearance on The View turned into a debacle when Whoopi and Barbara called Glenn a liar and repeatedly scolded him to 'check his facts'. Perhaps Barbara should take a bit of her own advice, because thanks to some investigative journalism by Scott Baker (Breitbart TV and The B-Cast) it looks like Glenn was (gasp) telling the truth!
Steve Milloy, author of Green Hell and founder of junkscience.com, joined Glenn to talk about how Al Gore really does care about everything green -- not the environment kind of green, but the money kind of green. Al Gore has already made a fortune off the green movement and now he stands to make billions of dollars if Cap and Trade is passed. It's almost like he has another motive to go green other than saving the Earth. How will he make billions?
Government is stepping in to solve a problem that came from a government solution to a problem that the government created. Yes, that's what happens when you go socialist and have government's sticky fingers on everything -- even more problems than you started with. Glenn reviews the story that the FBI is 'bracing' for the inevitable massive fraud heading our way with TARP and stimulus money.
Our greenest president ever, Barack Obama, stormed the White House with dreams of turning America into the eco-friendly capital of the world. So when the green leader takes over GM with hopes of making it the greenest automaker ever, naturally the first step is to get rid of the evil SUV poster child 'Hummer' division. By the way -- 'getting rid' of does not actually mean discontinuing -- it just means selling it off to the eco-friendly land that is China. Will it make any difference to 'global warming' if Hummers are polluting in China as opposed to here in the U.S.? Don't answer that, just drink some more cool-aid.

Total Eclipse of the Heart: Literal Video Version
Here's the one thing and there's absolutely nothing funny about it: the wunderkind in charge of saving our auto industry is a 31-year-old with about as much experience as a summer intern.
President Obama's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is a complete moron. How did he ever get this job and how does he still have it? Glenn plays this response he gave to the simple question 'how much did the date night cost?'that he completely mangles. Say or do anything, ANYTHING, besides pause forever and say 'is that the air conditioner?' you are the press secretary for the love of Pete! Glenn reacts to Obama's date night.
In today's March to Socialism Glenn examines the debt per household to cover federal spending. You'll be surprised to know that it's just a tad higher than the $10 bucks or whatever it was the average taxpayer is getting in 'tax cuts'. Glenn reveals the stunning debt you already owe to support the federal governments out of control spending habits.
Ever wonder who are these 'uniquely' qualified geniuses who advise President Obama? You'll be happy to know that it's a 31 year old with no business experience, no business education, who hasn't even really given much thought to the automotive industry! Future is looking bright -- and bright meaning 3000 degree temperature increases bright. We are doomed. Glenn reads the story verbatim because it's that shocking.
Scientists are never wrong, but in the rare event that they are wrong they should never, ever do what the scientist in this story did: admit it. No! Science is so complicated, it's much easier to just revise the old prediction and make a new one! Check out today's Science! about a possible sun 'cycle' is coming.

Here's the one thing: Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Ouch -- this one hurts. From Pravda, a Russian publication that understands a thing or two about Marxism, comes the article titled 'American capitalism gone with a whimper'...
The Fed says they are puzzled by steepening yield curve and are wondering if it's a good sign or a bad one. Glenn is not a Treasury Secretary, but he is a thinker --- but it doesn't sound like a good thing that the Fed is puzzled. Aren't they the uniquely qualified geniuses who know everything and will fix the economy?
Liberal Fascism, the book that opened Glenn's eyes to the progressive movement, is out in paperback and author Jonah Goldberg joins Glenn to discuss. The paperback version of the book has Jonah's outline of what Obama's presidency would look like and shockingly it's very accurate. What's the cure to the disease that is progressivism?

Glenn is expecting liberals to hate the upcoming Glenn Beck Common Sense Comedy Tour and write scathing reviews of it.

Here's a sampling of what we've received so far....

Author Brad Meltzer (Book of Lies) joined Glenn on the radio, and they talked comic books, Presidents and how Brad was working to save Superman's house in Cleveland. It's a historic site that was basically in ruins, but thanks to generous donations is now in the process of being restored. Also, find out what Brad said in this interview that made Glenn want to "clobber" him.
Thanks to Jason for calling in with a great analogy for the show. He related Glenn to the Verizon commercial where everyone is standing behind him. Glenn does 3 hours of radio and an hour of TV everyday. Point is, he could do all this talking, but if you aren't there behind him, listening and making it work -- it doesn't mean anything. And what does this all have to do with a ladder and the Constitution?

You've probably heard the saying, "Show me your friends and I will show you your future." If that's true, here's the one thing: What can we learn about where we're going from President Obama's and ACORN's friends?
Glenn is expecting liberals to hate the show and write scathing reviews of it. So in an effort to be helpful Glenn has invited you to do their job for them, by writing your own version of a liberal's review of Glenn's Common Sense Comedy Tour...
It's so easy being green --- you already know about the simple steps including replacing all of your appliances, buying solar panels, a hybrid, new shingles, putting air in your tires, eating less meat, monitoring light bulb usage, etc etc. Well, now Steven Chu, the US Secretary of Energy and a Nobel prize winning scientist, has a new solution to help stop global climate change..or warming...or whatever it is now. The solution? Simple. Paint your car and the roof of your house white. Yeah, we are doomed.
Back in March, President Obama traveled around the country telling Americans the benefits they were and would reap from signing the $787 billion Stimulus bill. He evenwarned that America might not survive if the bill was not passed. One of the success stories the President highlighted was in Columbus, Ohio -- where 25 new police officers jobs were saved. How is that working out for them just a few short months later? Glenn has the update in todays episode of America's March to Socialism

Driving on air (and a prayer)
You've probably heard the phrase: "As goes GM, so goes America." Here is the one thing: If that phrase is still true, brace yourself for mediocrity!
Is it any wonder our Congress has an approval rating in the teens, when bills are proposed that the 'authors' of the bill haven't even read? Buried deep inside the Climate Bill is a provision that would give unemployment benefits (for up to 3 years!) to anyone who lost their job as a result of this bill. How many people will be on Climate Change welfare and what will it cost us? Glenn explains in this edition of Spotlight on Science!
When President Obama was asked 'when do we run out of money?' he responded with a chuckle 'we are already out of money'. That's why socialism is so neat - you can be completely broke but still spend trillions of dollars!

What better way to help the ailing auto industry than to increase the CAFE standards that are already crippling automakers everywhere? Obama wants CAFE standard to be 42 miles per gallon by the year 2016 -- translation: tinfoil cars that run on hamster power! If Obama keeps tightening the leash, it won't be long before all of the big auto companies go under and are eaten up by the government -- oh, wait -- that's probably the plan.

Here's the one thing: California is having a going-out-of-business sale and all common sense must go! Am I the only one who is surprised it lasted this long?
California is in big trouble and are on the verge of collapse. And the only way to stave off collapse in these tough times is to raise taxes. Liberals in places like California, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey - they all jack up taxes and increase size of government. When it doesn't work they say they didn't raise taxes enough. Perhaps they should emulate the hatemongers in Texas, after all, they have zero state income tax and they are one of the states doing well. Glenn's prescription for California? Let them fail.

In Sweden they now say it's okay to have an abortion if you don't get the gender baby you desire. Glenn solicits calls from only those pro-choice members of the audience and gets several amazing people who say they think abortion is murder, but still remain pro-choice...
President Obama has mentioned Spain's model for fast tracking green jobs into the marketplace -- but how is that working out for Spain? For every one permanent job created, Spain is losing 2.2 jobs elsewhere in the marketplace. So when Obama says he's creating 5 million new green jobs, he's going to lose 11 million jobs as well -- meaning a net loss of 6 million jobs. Sounds like something we need right about now, huh?
File this under the 'imagine if they were white' category - a story about a black couple who have decided to buy everything at black owned businesses only. Glenn says it's their money and they can be stupid with it if they want to---then he reads the story replacing 'black' with 'caucasion'. As you read or listen to the story, imagine how the AP's tone would have been if the story were actually about caucasion people only spending money in caucasion owned stores. Why the bias? Isn't racism racism? There is zero chance it would have been this kind.

New 'Montauk Monster' Washes Up on Long Island Beach?
For over a week now we've been trying to unravel the ACORN string. We're getting closer, but the one thing is that ACORN is so complex, so intentionally complicated, that we don't even know what we don't know.
If Obama gets his 'cost benefit' healthcare plan in place -- will there be a place for old people?
This morning on the way into work, Glenn was thinking about what he would do with the economy if he were China (really, who doesn't ponder that at 6am?). After Glenn hashed out his theory he saw a news story that the Pentagon had done an economic war game test between us and China. The good guys didn't win -- find out why.
Chris Garnder of 'Pursuit of Happyness' fame and author of 'Start Where You Are' joined Glenn today to talk about the shift in mentality our nation is seeing and why it's detrimental to actual growth. Our government is getting bigger and bigger as it tries to teach people that they cannot do it without the governments help. Gardner is absolute proof that government is absolutely NOT necessary for one to succeed -- and absolute proof that hope need not come from Washington D.C.
Stu likened the call to a person crossing the street, oblivious to the oncoming traffic. Dan said it was like picking a bar fight with Marcus Luttrell. A caller named Raj decided to challenge Glenn on the topic of Progressivism -- despite being admittedly unfamiliar with the topic. Apparently he missed all the 'Glenn reads boring books about the Founders and Progressivism' jokes, becase he still called up and humiliated himself, although it's not clear if Raj understood that he was thoroughly trounced on the air.

Glenn decided to attend the White House Correspondents dinner this weekend and called the atmosphere 'slimy', said Obama did a good job with his delivery but was robotic, and took issue with comedian Wanda Sykes routine. Typically this event serves as somewhat of a roast of the President (Imus bashing Clinton, Colbert bashing Bush) but apparently no entertainers these days know how to make fun of the Messiah, so instead Sykes made fun of Rush Limbaugh. Included in her hilarious (translate=crappy) routine were jokes about how she wished Rush's kidneys would fail. Glenn imagines the things he can say with the new 'kidney failure' comedy bar set so low.
Another year, another stamp price increase by the Postal Service. Facing another $1.5 billion deficit, the geniuses in the government agency that inspired the pop-culture phrase 'going postal' think that raising stamp prices will solve all of their problems. In case you need to add to the mountain of evidence showing government can't run businesses -- chalk this one up as exhibit A.
How would you feel if police can put a GPS device on your car and track you anywhere you go -- legally -- even if you are not suspected of anything? No warrant, they just feel like tracking you and they can. They are trying it in (no way!) Madison, Wisconsin. Read the story here, check out Glenn and Stu's debate on the issue here.

Glenn gets lots of hate mail. PLEASE, keep it coming. Especially if you’re the licensed therapist with over 30 years of practice who wrote about Glenn “I have never before encountered a more dangerous or disturbed person in public position.”
Remember The Matrix? Could now be the time to take the red pill? Glenn talks about Montana’s new gun law that could lead to an incredibly important Supreme Court battle, and ties it in with late 90’s action movie references. What else would you do with a Friday show?
Well…sorta. Find out all about it here...

'Simpsons' Cast Unveils Postal Stamps
The much anticipated results from the bank stress tests have just been released, but the one thing they're not telling you is that this whole thing is a big game and the stress tests were the government's latest move...
You can't just walk higgledy-piggledy into a socialist state or a fascist state where the government is -- and I know fascism is crazy. I know, I know. You know, that would imply that, you know, our president would be firing people, you know, CEOs. It would be taking over companies. It would be giving -- a fascist state, what would they do? They would give giant corporations over to the people, to the workers. I know that's crazy 55% of Chrysler went to the UAW. I know, it's nuts. But let's just say that that kind of activity were going on but in a friendly way.

If the tax day tea party protests accomplished nothing else, they did this: they tore the mask off the mainstream news media and revealed the media’s naked hostility to the ideals of our founding fathers.
President Obama's new health care plan rolled out on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Government health care: great, they are coming to save you.
You know, I have to tell you, the answer is to get away from the two-party system because they are both progressives. Just progressive and progressive light. But they're both progressives and they have been taking us down this road for over 100 years. And everyone says there's no libertarians out there. There are libertarians out there, and you watch them...

The law of consecration, which means you take all of your money and you give it to Moses. You give all of your money to your church, 100% and then you take only that that you need, okay? Moses couldn't make that work and so the law of consecration was too difficult for the people with the guy who parted the
Red Sea and so they went down to a 10% tithing rule: Give 10%, okay?
Well, socialism isn't the easiest thing to sell in this country, believe it or not. It's important that you have a strategy, and Barack Obama has a strategy. His apparent strategy is called a straight face, which I don't know how he does it but I mean, you do something that drastically moves us toward socialism and then you make a speech in which you act like you did the exact opposite. That's a fantastic strategy. It seems to be working...

In today’s March to Socialism, Glenn looks back at the history of Social Security Insurance. It was created as an insurance plan that most people would pay into, but never use. But with medical advances that have extended life expectancy, and people retiring earlier---it’s turned into government funded retirement.
Barack Obama says we’ll reap great rewards from dumping money into scientific research. Arlen Specter even said Jack Kemp would still be alive today if it wasn’t for republicans being too stingy with their research dollars. But one expert says that the government throwing money at scientists isn’t an efficient way to spend tax dollars. Who is this expert? One of Barack Obama’s economic advisers.

Glenn takes on a critic who blasted Glenn, saying "Beck and Fox pretend to fight for the little guy but do nothing to promote equality". Glenn responds...
Pat Toomey, the man who gave Specter a run for his money the last election and now made him tuck tail and run to the Democratic party, joined Glenn on radio today. This is the first interview Glenn has done with Toomey, so he spent some time getting a feel for the candidate on where he stands and what he believes. It could be the ultimate payback if he ends up running against Specter and knocks him out of the way for good.
Obama says he doesn't want to run the Auto industries (Watch). He sure has a funny way of showing it...perhaps he should stop gobbling up these companies if they don't want to run them.

Wednesday of course is Obama's 100th day as president. He is celebrating in Missouri with a "town hall" and his third prime-time address — something that I'm sure pleases the broadcast networks, who have to once again pre-empt hit shows in favor of Obama highlighting his accomplishments.

Massive carbon emitting monsters -- aka large cities -- like to make their green loving citizens feel like they are not dumping gargantuan amounts of carbon into the air by sending around recycling trucks to pick up different things. Residents of different cities are buying into this and even brag about how green they are. Oakland makes New Yorkers jealous because they compost used up coffee grounds, and Toronto wows them all with how they are helping to grow crops with the help of used diapers. Anyone for some bacon?
Senator Arlen Specter has bolted the GOP in favor of the Democrat Party -- a move completely done out of self preservation. He was heading for a massive defeat in the GOP primary against challenger Pat Toomey. Hey, forget about all that 'balance of power is important' talk a couple of weeks ago from Specter---we've got an election to win here! Glenn uses the ever popular 'Popeye's Chicken vs. KFC' analogy to explain the Specter switch.

Harry Reid has a book coming out -- which should be eco-friendly because no one will be buying it -- and in it he describes an interaction with Barack Obama from 2004. Even Reid's own wife advised on not bringing it up in the book because it 'might' be taken the wrong way.
Author of 'The Great Influenza: The Epic story of the Deadliest Plague in History' joins Glenn to discuss the seriousness of the swine flu and his op-ed in the New York Times 'Where will the Swine Flu go next?'
Former Human Health Services Secretary Mike Leavitt joined Glenn today to talk about the building concern of a pandemic caused by reports of a swine flu breaking out in different parts of the world. Sec. Leavitt has been in the war rooms discussing how to prepare and fight things like this swine flu, and gives valuable insight on what the government should and shouldn't be pursuing at this moment.
Author of 'In the Event of my Untimely Demise' joins Glenn to shamelessly promote the paperback version of his book AND to give parents tips on how to hide their kids swine flu so they can still go to birthday parties and such.
When Hugo Chavez or Saddam Hussein would get 96% of votes in an election, people here laughed and assumed something funny was going on behind the scenes. In a new CBS poll 96% of those surveyed said they approved of Barack Obama, 4% didn't respond and 0% disagreed with Obama. Zero percent.
President Reagan actually decreased the number of government programs during his presidency -- an amazing feat when looking at what the rest of the presidents have done since then. Who loves government programs the most? Get the stats from todays March to Socialism.

News broke late last week of a 'swine flu' that claimed the lives of 81 people in Mexico and signs of it are starting to pop up around the U.S. and other locations. Glenn started the show off with a comedy bit surrounding the scare, which of course prompted the complaint call that Glenn wasn't taking the swine flu seriously enough. Fearmonger one day, clown the next. Glenn just can't win!
The prophet Al Gore stopped by Congress to try and scare everyone into passing Cap n Trade -- which is nothing more than a giant tax scheme that will do nothing to solve global warming. Even Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) says that Cap n Trade is nothing but a huge tax, which certainly couldn't have pleased Gore. The left knows that if the public understands that this is just another tax that will make energy prices skyrocket the plan is 'toast' --- which is exactly why there is a mad scramble to pass it.

One of Obama's top economic advisors, Larry Summers, fell asleep during meeting on credit card companies. Must be tough to stay awake when all the meetings are the same -- new day, new industry to socialize. Not sure how Larry could be tired -- it's not like he's up all night thinking of new economic genius strategies. All they ever do is 'how much that cost? Ok sure, spend it. Don't have it? Ok sure, print it then spend it.' Glenn surprisingly defends the sleeping episode by Summers, saying it's happened to him, and Glenn accuses Stu of not working hard enough because he is able to stay awake at work.
Apparently Glenn was sleeping through the meeting in which someone proposed the 'raise money for cancer, pay for a day with Glenn' fundraiser. Cancer is probably shaking in it's boots now -- imagine the research money that will be raised using the prospect of seeing a pasty white, doughy skunk haired man sweat through four outfits in three hours while he unloads a three hour insanity laced verbal therapy session. That's why Glenn immediately decided to sweeting the pot and convince Tania to make some of her fantastic lasagna for the high bidder.
Speaker Pelosi and the left have been having a field day trying to drum up support to try former Bush administration officials on allegations they advocated the torture of terrorists and terror suspects. Pelosi claims she didn't know about any of the torturing -- only one little problem: that's not true.
Apr. 23, 2009
President Obama is meeting with the leaders of the credit card industry to talk about fees and interest charges that critics call abusive. Both houses of Congress are trying to figure out how to limit those kinds of practices and require greater disclosure.
Sort of -- Glenn was out a business dinner when the waiter alerted him to the fact that George Soros was seated at the table right next to him. Glenn Beck eating dinner with George Soros on Earth Day---wow, doesn't get more awkward than that.
The GOP took some heat when they called out the $3100 extra tax dollars per year American households would have to pay when Cap & Trade is implemented. The MIT professor who worked on the study said the GOP was lying -- predictably liberal bloggers and left media like Keith Olberman picked up on this and made fun of the GOP by mocking them as mathematicians. Turns out it was the MIT prof who was the idiot, after admitting to a 'boneheaded excel spreadsheet' mistake, and wouldn't you know it---the actual number is even higher than the GOP's estimate.
Stone cold fusion -- 20 years ago two credible scientists said they achieved a feat no other scientist ever had: create something that could output more energy than you put into it. Except there was one little problem--no other scientist could replicate these clowns results, and neither could they. Scientists discredited them, made fun of them, and basically shunned them (they went to the only place shunned losers go---France), then completely gave up on the cold fusion idea. Turns out now that DARPA and others think once again that cold fusion and 'free energy' is possible. Why bother with that -- we've got Cap & Trade coming!

National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair says tough interrogation tactics yielded "high value information." Critics of the Bush-approved methods have called them "torture" and President Obama says that those tactics won't be used on his watch.
Laffer was on President Reagan's economic advisory board and helped shape the economic policies that saved us from the horrifying Carter policies that brought inflation and economic malaise. He's just written special introduction for the release of President Ronald Reagan's Initial Action Report -- an amazing look into the ideas that Reagan utilized in restoring America's economy to the top. Glenn Beck Insiders get a free copy of this ebook, find out how to become one here. Listen to Glenn's interview with Laffer here.
If you are old enough to remember liking disco music, you may also remember the environmental issues of the day such as air pollution. Scientists were telling us in 1970 that by the 80's life expectancy would be 42 and that hundreds of thousands would die from air pollution. Democrats are holding full three day summit on Cap & Trade -- a giant taxation scheme that does nothing to stop global warming. Maybe Democrats should look at what happened to air pollution --- which has decreased dramatically since the 80's, despite huge increases in population --- before they levy yet another giant tax on Americans.

Janeane Garofalo made an appearance on Countdown with Keith Olbermann recently in which she claimed that the only reason hundreds of thousands of people attended Tea Parties was racism. Yup, you attended a protest because you can't stand the fact that there is a black man in office. 'They don't know history' she said of Tea Party goers, adding 'it's straight up racism'. Janeane had a different take on protests in 2003 on Countdown, specifically complaining about how protestors were attacked with 'unfair' and 'anti-intellectual' comments. Hmmm, you mean like saying all Tea Party protestors are racist? Thanks for doing your best to ruin '24', Janeane.
Oregon thought it would be a good idea to tie minimum wage with inflation -- the result has not been so hot for the state. As the job situation worsens, employers are being forced to pay higher and higher minimum wages. It just went up again by 45 cents to $8.40 per hour and has many business owners complaining it's causing the 12.1% unemployment rate in Oregon.
The administration is trying to make it sound like a huge budget cut, while you don't have to be a mathematician to see this is chump change. If a family that made $100,000 were faced with a budget gap of $34,000 -- the family would have to cut $3 a year to equal the Obama cuts. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs tried to build up how big of a cut this was with the standard '$100 million is a lot where I come from' line, until Jake Tapper interjected by pointing out Gibbs himself just a couple of weeks ago said that $8 billion in earmarks is a miniscule amount. How do government officials get away with such blatant spin, and how do they know they will get away with it?
Apr. 20, 2009
President Obama has reportedly asked his Cabinet to share in the sacrifice that all Americans are making by slashing a painful $100 million from his budget.
It was embarrassing enough when Fidel Castro expressed his love for President Obama, but Hugo Chavez took the humiliation to a whole new level with the naive President of the barely free world.
That John Murtha must have something going for him -- because no matter how often he calls his own constituents racist hicks, he keeps getting re-elected. Yeah, yeah---it's all that federal money he gets pouring into the area. The people just love the things that the money he brings in gets spent on---if by 'the people' it means 'Murtha's friends who like getting tens of millions of dollars' then that would be a more accurate statement.
Speaking of money, how does a Senator get elected time and time again when he has only five---yes, five---donors in his entire home state? Good question---but the mystery is somewhat revealed with the fact that he's raised a ton of money outside the state of Connecticut, which prompts a debate between Stu and Glenn on campaign funding. Should we promote a McCain/Feingold part II or should we let people continue to vote for a guy who no one in the state likes enough to give money to?
You've heard the reports a zillion times -- 'the ice caps are melting! The polar bears won't have anything to float on! Cities will be flooded!' -- all because of our addiction to oil, SUV's, blah blah blah. The next scientist who apparently wants to be ridiculed by the left is from Australia --- and he has the nerve to report that the Antarctic ice is (gasp) expanding, not shrinking. How could this be?
Glenn is a big fan of fiction and the book he is currently reading is First Family by David Baldacci. Glenn interviewed the author, who has 76 million copies of his books in print, and they talked about everything from why reviewers blow him off to how we get ourselves out of the current mess our country is in.

Tea Parties Across America
Glenn and Stu go over some polling numbers as Glenn discusses his theory that this could be the beginning of the end for the 2 party political system in America. How did he get there?
A truly amazing piece of audio-- a CNN reporter (using that phrase very, very loosely) interviewing a man with his child, and seemingly personally offended that someone could actually criticize the government spending that's going on. She demonstrates her complete lack of understanding of history and instead reveals her in the tank for Obama views as she calls the protests 'anti-government', 'anti-CNN' and the best for last... 'it's not family viewing'. Huh?
Glenn is currently engrossed in a book by R.J. Pestritto that's titled 'American Progressivism' and co-edited with American historian William Atto. It takes a look a progressive ideas and then at several actual writings of notorious progressives like Wilson, TR, Dewey, and more. Want to get a better idea about what modern day progressives like Hillary Clinton believe? In a special series to Glenn's email newsletter, R.J. Pestritto (Shipley Professor of the American Constitution at Hillsdale College) explains this and more.

What the tea parties are REALLY about? It's about spending — too much spending, to be specific. The idea that a business is too big to fail is anti-American; we've always been for the underdog. More...
Think the government is getting too big? Think that the federal government should be an agent for the states, not the other way around? Pro-life? Against illegal immigration? Good news for you, the black helicopters should be flying overhead very soon! This is an actual report from the Department of Homeland Security warning of 'rightwing extremist activity' on the rise. So what does the DHS consider to be extreme? Get the duct tape out, because your head will explode when reading this.
Governor Rick Perry of Texas drew praise from conservatives by doing something view politicians on either side of the aisle seem willing to do these days -- stand up for states rights and the Constitution. Governor Perry joined on the radio program this morning and talked 10th Amendment, Tea Parties and more.

There's been a threefold increase in people who have had tax problems who never had trouble before. But don't worry: The IRS has vowed to treat struggling taxpayers fairly and compassionately (I know when I think of the IRS, I think "fair and compassionate," don't you?)
Gov. Rick Perry today joined state Rep. Brandon Creighton and sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 in support of states rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Maybe Glenn's friend and TV guest David Buckner was thinking about all the trillions Obama is spending because in the middle of a segment last night on Glenn's TV show he passed out and hit the deck. Thankfully he's doing just fine, but the moment spooked Glenn because David did not look well after the fall. While most normal human beings are expressing concern over David's condition, the rest soul-less portion of America are spending their time commenting online, saying that this is just another stupid ratings trick by Glenn Beck.
San Antonio is gearing up for the big Tea Party, and among those in attending in the crowd along with Glenn is Ted Nugent. The tireless Nugent is never short on passion and he's certainly never short on words. What's he saying about the Tea Party protests and the great comments from Governor Rick Perry (TX) today?
Glenn has good news if you are one of the 48% who said, in a new poll, that they don't mind paying the current tax rate: The government is looking for even more ways to tax you! States are cracking down on those who make money in their state but don't live there.

Today is Tax Freedom Day, which means that the country as a whole has now theoretically earned enough money to pay off our annual tax burden. This is happening two weeks earlier than the recent record of April 30, set in 2007. Great news, right?
Guest Passes Out Live During Glenn Beck
As a deep recession strips Americans of their jobs, homes and investments, the 2009 U.S. tax season promises to see a large uptick in first-time delinquent income taxpayers.
Stu looks into the lefty blog allegations that people at tea parties are calling for the burning of books. It took Stu all of 2 minutes to find strong evidence this particular lady was obviously just a liberal trying to be funny - yet somehow the lib bloggers thought it was real. This is the game plan of the left, with one prominent liberal blog even encouraging people to go to tea parties, to bring their cameras and even 'call us' before they go for 'further instruction' on what do to. Are the citizen journalists on the left so inept that they need instructions on how to turn on their own cameras? Stu highlights one early example of liberal infiltration at a tea party that the media presented as real.
In an apparent attempt to demonstrate just how out of touch politicians are with the American people, during an interview Senator Chuck Schumer declared that the days of those pesky 'traditional values' are finally over. This from the same guy who declared that the American people 'don't care' about wasteful pork spending, so obviously old Chuck has his GPS dialed right in to the heartbeat of average everyday Americans. Glenn reacts and finds he actually agrees with Chuckie on a couple of things...sort of.

According to Lt. Bryant Wells with the Texas Rangers, Michael Edmonds turned himself in to authorities. He was booked and was released on bond.
Marcus Luttrell talked with Glenn on TV last night about the tragic loss of his dog, Dasy. He lost her when some dirt bag punk kids were out joy riding and shooting animals and murdered her.
I think this quote from her blog sums it up well: "Be aware of how the cable channels are sending a despicable racist and anti-worker message into your living rooms. turn off cable news! turn off your televisions if you want to resist being programmed by satan worshippers. But, my dear mr. pro-slavery teenage girl marrying anti gay marriage anti women's rights anti-worker anti constitution america hating traitor polygymist, you will not have the last word. the truth will have the last word, and we the minions of freedom fighters who, hear these words and agree that the balance has already tipped against slavery." It's sad, very sad -- but amazingly it actually gets worse. Glenn and Stu go over the entire, maniacal blog entry.
When President Obama decided to do yet another stimulus package, most of America thought that the money would go to people who need it. So, it's very difficult to believe (and to stomach) that millions of stimulus dollars are being used for building a bridge that will join two Microsoft buildings that have a highway separating them. Really? Bill Gates needs stimulus cash? Apparently Apple is winning the 'Mac vs. PC' ad campaign.
Apr. 6, 2009
Apparently a group of scum bag teens were big fans of Michael Vick, because 'for fun' they have been driving around Texas shooting dogs. As if shooting dogs wasn't horrible enough, one of the dogs they executed belonged to an American hero -- Marcus Luttrell. The dog, named Dasy (each letter represents one of his fallen team members), had been given to Luttrell to help him with the healing process after going through absolute hell in Afghanistan (see 'Lone Survivor') and meant absolutely everything to him. Marcus heard the gunshot, saw the punks and chased them until he finally caught them. Needless to say, these wastes of skin are only alive because Marcus let them live.

The product Glenn has been working on for months is finally here! It's the all new, all powerful Dashboard Obama! He'll solve your problems, pay your mortgage save the world and more---all from the dashboard of your car! It's the all new Dashboard Obama and it's available now at GlennBeck.com!
Government out of my bedroom! Unless it's green related, that is. Apparently the same idiots who don't want the government meddling in their personal bedroom affairs want the government in their bedroom if it's concerning the hot tub or the lighting. The 648 page climate bill has a lot of eyebrow raising material in there like this --- but the dolts we elected most likely will not read it, so don't anticipate hearing about any of this in the news.
Jim Meigs, Editor-In-Chief of Popular Mechanics and the 9-11 truthers worst nightmare, joined Glenn today to preview the debunking of online conspiracy rumors that FEMA is starting up concentration type camps. Like any good conspiracy theory, there are little bits and grains of truths to be found---and they take those bits of truth and let their imaginations run wild. Their wild imaginations combined with the power of the internet are now actually forcing us to go out and put time and resources into debunking the 'government concentration camp' rumors. Should be interesting to see what the conspiracy freaks think of this.

Virtually every problem we have can be fixed locally. Your neighbor lost their job? Help & support them. Yet, instead of looking to the local community for help, we're being forced to rely on the international one.

Remember when presidential candidate Senator Obama said 'if you make under $250,000 a year you will not see a tax increase of any kind' and his running mate, Joe Biden, said the same? That's the latest campaign promise to go up in smoke, as the unprecedented tax hike on cigarettes went into effect yesterday. The hike is six times bigger than any other cigarette tax hike in history---and since people making less than $250,000 a year are more likely to smoke it's a disproportionate tax on the poor. Not only that, the tax will likely discourage low income people from smoking---thus hurting the original reason given for the tax---funding S-CHIP, the health care program for kids. Glenn comments on the broken promise here.
All of the eco-freaks around the country are standing in awe of Barack Obama, waiting to see what he will do to the White House to set the example for the rest of the world on how to live a green life. What amazing steps has Obama taken to green the White House---solar panels? Windmills? The underwhelming answer is in todays 'Spotlight on Science'!
President Obama's charity tax will make foundations lose about $4 billion this year, a 'marginal' amount in Barack Obama's world. He says charities will only suffer because the economy is slowing down and his tax won't hurt giving to charitable organizations. The evidence says quite the opposite---in fact, his charity tax will hurt foundations ten times more than the economic downturn.

Although the U.S. economy is expected return to growth later this year, there is a danger of a second recession if monetary easing and a weak dollar leads to increased inflation expectations, a report said on Wednesday.
Glenn Beck: Last November we were told that America needs to break through the "politics of fear."
The cable news king, Bill O'Reilly, made an appearance on Letterman last night to promote his 100th consecutive month as the #1 cable news show and Bill gave a spirited defense of Glenn and Rush that, at times left Letterman speechless. When Letterman asked about a line in the Times article, O'Reilly hit it spot on----solid stuff from 'The Factor' host.
Colbert is at it again - having a laugh at Glenn's expense is something the self-deprecating, pasty white, chubby, girlie man is quite used to at this point in life. Glenn's own staff has been poking fun at his penchant for crying for years and years, so this is not groundbreaking material but overall a funny segment from the mock conservative..

If you are going to appear with Glenn on TV or radio, and you are currently engaged in something that seems unconstitutional---a good rule of thumb is to have answers for the questions you might be asked...
Glenn is often shot down by the left and others who mock his 'march to socialism' bit----completely unrelated story...President Obama had the CEO of a company fired and is now currently restructuring it on his own. Anyway, even though Glenn will be called completely crazy for this suggestion, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out where this global warming mess is all headed. Cap and Trade is on the way -- but will there eventually be a ban on meat?
#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben has a new book out called 'Long Lost' that deals with the issue of torture. Coben talks with Glenn about torture, 24, the book and more on todays radio program.

Hey, did you know that people turned their lights off, or something like that, for an hour over the weekend in a 'mass' demonstration for the climate crisis? You may have missed it -- because even supposed participants like New York City, Las Vegas and even Al Gore himself weren't very successful in making things dark. See the pictures and check out Glenn's reaction to the massive failure that was 'Earth Hour'

Mexico will cooperate with the United States in sharing intelligence to fight drug trafficking but does not plan joint patrols with U.S. forces, President Felipe Calderon said Monday.
When you fail as a forklift driver... you really, really fail.
Bernard Goldberg - After Barack Obama won the election he realized that the economy was worse than he thought…so he had to lay off seventeen journalists.
Obama apologists scoff at any mention of the resemblance his policies have to socialism and globalism - despite the fact that every person he appoints or nominates seems to have far left viewpoints. Take Harold Koh, who is about to become one of the US Governments most powerful attorneys. Some may say it's a problem that Koh believes Judges should interpret the Constitution according to other nations' legal "norms", Sharia law could apply to disputes in US courts, the United States constitutes an "axis of disobedience" along with North Korea and Saddam-era Iraq. Apparently these are resume positives for President Barack Obama.
Cap and Trade is coming--and what the proponents of the system don't want you to see are the other places who are currently trying it. Europe, for example, is seeing the Cap and Trade 'market' collapse as demand plummets, and the mini Cap and Trade system in Chicago is having its problems of its own. Farmers are actually getting paid money to NOT grow food. Who wants that pesky food anyway?

Bachmann is leading the charge to put a ban on a global currency. Tim Geithner caused the markets to nose dive when he indicated he was open to considering a global currency---which would obviously be devastating to our economy. No, seriously, wouldn't it be great to have our economy partially dependent on places like Zimbabwe? Glenn talks with the Congresswoman about that and the state of our country.
Another one of the people in power that Glenn thinks 'gets it' and has America's best interest at heart. Glenn may not always agree with everything Senator Demint ever does, but overall he seems to realize that we are in a fight for the soul of America. It's Friday and after a full week of mind numbing news and Glenn is wondering if America has gone past the point of no return. Can we survive this onslaught of non-American ideals being accelerated through?

Daniel Hannan, MEP for South East England, joined the radio program today---he's gained some notoriety this week as he absolutely crushed Gordon Brown in a speech during Brown's visit to the European Parliament earlier this week. In Britain, they also tried spending their way out of the financial crisis, their approach has not worked and they are completely out of cash. His speech was fantastic and precisely what millions of people would like to express to their government here at home. In England they are preparing for a possible 'summer of rage' -- is that on the way for us as well?
How many times, during the course of the Presidential campaign, did you hear Barack Obama say '95% of all Americans will get a tax cut under my plan' ? If you said about ten times a day then congrats, you are correct. So, in Barack Obama's gigantic budget he recently proposed, Obama said that things looked great---they have worked in 98% of agenda. Only a few small things are missing---like the 95% of all Americans tax cut thing.
Now over a quarter million members strong, the 9/12 Project is on it's way to creating something hoped we'd never need - a special interest group of our own. Glenn urges people to sign up at the912project.com because while writing and calling your congressman is a good thing to do---until you have a group that's big enough to command their respect, they will not listen. Glenn reports the latest on what's happening.

Here's the One Thing: Washington fundamentally doesn't understand how the real world works anymore.
One of those 'evil' CEO's being absolutely trashed by politicians, the press and the public -- wrote a letter of resignation that will likely change the way many people think about these CEO's. While they provide a very convenient scapegoat and distraction from other problems going on, not all the CEO's at AIG are evil. If the media put any effort into finding about about the men behind the scenes maybe---just maybe---we wouldn't have to see Barney Frank's face all over TV. Just sayin'. Glenn reads the letter and reacts.
For the guy who was billed as the smartest human being ever to run for president -- Barack Obama sure depends on that TelePrompter an awful lot. While Glenn, especially as a TV host, understands the value of using the teleprompter to ensure accuracy---there are times when not to use it. Apparently, President Obama has not found one of those 'don't use it here' times yet. Will he ever ditch the prompter?
We are in the express lane to socialism---which is weird because it hasn't really worked, ever, in the history of the world. One specific example is a heads up comparison between Finland (who wen the non-socialist route) and Estonia (occupied by the Soviet Union) to see which one fared better. They started off basically exactly the same in nearly every category -- so how did it turn out for each?
It's and exciting time to be alive---Al Gore has a sequel to An Inconvenient Truth coming out! It's all about the solutions to 'climate change' and the 'climate crisis' (hmm, not 'global warming'?) so it should be fantastic. Al Gore's right hand man on the climate 'crisis' is NASA 'climate modeller' James Hansen, who is now saying that the 'democratic process' has failed and it's time for 'direct action' on the issue. What does that mean?

A listeners contribution to the912project.com...
Why is no one in the media or gov speaking out when huge U.N. countries publicly attack the U.S. dollar and support dropping it as the world's currency?
U.S. senator from Maryland Benjamin Cardin introduced legislation today that would allow newspapers to become nonprofit organizations in an effort to help the faltering industry survive. It's called the Newspaper Revitalization Act -- Glenn thinks it should be called The Steam Engine Revitalization Act because this is very much akin to hanging on to the technologies of the past. Welcome to 1886!
The left has cozied up to the environmentalist movement in the last few years -- which is a shift as the enviro kooks have usually been off in their own world. This story illustrates exactly why it's a mistake to get in bed with the environmentalists -- because even when projects to start 'bold' renewable energy initiatives are proposed, the environmentalists get in the way. What is more important to the environmentalists than using renewable energy?
Now that it's a Democrat in office, apparently our education system is in ruins. George W. Bush, on his way out, touted certain gains on the education front. Obama, on his way in, is saying our educational system is in horrible shape. So, which is it? That's the focus on todays March to Socialism update!

India's Tata rolls out world's cheapest car...
People are telling you to not trust me because I'm crazy or I'm just a Republican hack in disguise. But what they've missed is I am not asking you to trust me. I am asking you to trust yourself...
Bill Maher, host of the really crappy 'Real Time' talk show, made the claim that Glenn is increasing the odds that someone attacks President Obama because, after all, it was hate speech like his that 'made' Timothy McVeigh blow up the federal building in Oklahoma City. This is especially ironic commentary coming from the guy who himself recently said 'if Dick Cheney were dead, more people would live'. Glenn plays the audio from Maher and his diverse panel that consisted of Keith Olbermann, a New York Times writer, the card carrying socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, and a Hollywood activist/actress.
Glenn talked today with the apparent leader of the militia, Congressman Ron Paul. According to a state police report in Missouri, if you have a Ron Paul bumper sticker on your car---you could be in one of them crazy militia's! Congressman Paul admitted today to Glenn that he does, in fact, have a Ron Paul bumper sticker on his car. Ron Paul with a Ron Paul bumper sticker? That's heavy, doc---the space/time continuum could be in jeopardy.
Remember when the Obama administration kind of stuck that 'down payment' on Universal Healthcare in the stimulus package? You know, that $634 billion of your money? Forget about debating Universal Healthcare -- we are way past that -- isn't funny that no one really knows how we plan on paying for that? But, don't be concerned, because socialism is here to save the day (from socialism)!
The spotlight on science today features an article that covered the brave scientists who are 'risking their lives' in the freezing arctic chill---in order to try and save the ice caps from melting. Hmm, so braving the deadly Arctic chill....to save the ice from melting, that can't be right. Let's say it again a little differently and maybe it will make sense: Braving temperatures 40 degrees below zero---to stop the hunks of ice melting away, destroying the Earth. Nope, still sounds like a complete waste of time.

Exclusive - Glenn talks with freed border agents Ramos and Compean in their first minutes of freedom...
The 9/12 project is growing at an amazingly rapid pace--now well over 100,000 members on the site. It's growing, according to Glenn, because it's an outlet for those who feel like they don't have a voice---to have a voice. Find out what's going on that will finally make the politicians listen to you.
An illegal immigration activist shot this video of Nancy Pelosi at a church---calling for an end to FBI raids on suspected illegal aliens, and calling illegal immigrants 'very patriotic'. Glenn interviews the man who shot the video, Rick Oltman, and they talk about what was covered in this meeting with Speaker Pelosi and the illegals.
Is the fed's 'bet the house' strategy going to be effective? If not, what happens? Glenn talked about this on TV last night and because it's such a confusing issue, he wanted to present the best arguments on both sides of the issue.
President Obama found time, as the economy and America is collapsing around him, to appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

It's time that somebody paid attention to games these Washington clowns are playing...
Here is a great video put together and posted on YouTube called the 'We the People stimulus package' and it is a commentary on the issues of today. However, it's written and delivered as if it were founding father Thomas Paine reacting to the events of today. WATCH this video and see if you have the same reaction that Glenn had to it.
Glenn wonders what Barney Frank has ever done to be in the position he is in? What qualifications does he have?
Glenn was in rare form this morning, extra fired up because of the hypocrisy from Christopher Dodd---who doesn't seem to notice his own culpability in this AIG mess. It seems like no one will shoot straight with the American people---they just keep feeding the citizens cake and hope they'll remain good, silent little sheep. It's hard to keep track of the hypocrisy in Congress these days, but here's the latest example.
Do you remember when Barack Obama stood up in front of the employees at Caterpillar and told them that if this stimulus bill was passed -- they'd be able to re-hire many of those who were about to be laid off. The President added that he was confident that this 're-hiring' trend would catch on around the nation--turns out he was a little ahead of himself because Caterpillar not only didn't re-hire but they had to lay off even more employees. Good thing we got that stimulus passed though!

Following these steps will allow you to record the live episode of Glenn Beck each day while ignoring the reruns...
Here's the one thing: You're being lied to. No, no, actually, you're being bought off. You'll see exactly what I mean in a minute. But first I want to talk about something my critics have said about me: that I’m an angry populist. Really? I love this.
AIG has benefited from about $180 billion in government aid---so where is all of that money going? It should be going to American banks and American interests, right? Unfortunately, that's not what is happening. Glenn explains the real story behind AIG.
Comrades! It's our daily look at our rapid march to socialism and today we find out that the federal government is actually encouraging states to not be responsible with the stimulus money they are getting. Huh?
Glenn interviewed the New York doctor who took matters into his own hands in trying to reduce the cost of health care for his consumers. He came up with the idea of a $79 flat monthly fee that allowed patients to visit as many times as they'd like. Guess who didn't like that idea---the government! Why would the government want to allow an idea that actually helps people!
Glenn talks about the 9/12 project he launched on Fridays TV show, how he got there and where he hopes it's going. Glenn has launched the idea and the website -- the rest is up to you. Are you sick and tired of partisan politics, and do you care about the constitution more than who has more power in Washington? The www.the912project.com is the place for you to start on the path to giving this country back to the people. Glenn explains...
Mar. 16, 2009
Forget the idiots who say Sarah Palin blew the election for McCain and the GOP - arguably the most hurtful thing (besides McCain's liberal tendencies) was his 'the fundamentals of the economy are strong' comment in the midst of economic crisis. Now that he has successfully injected enough fear in the American people to get all of his campaign agenda crammed down our throats -- Obama says the fundamentals of the economy are strong. Huh, funny how that works.
In our spotlight on science today, we see that Barack Obama's climate czar (who is a socialist) blurted out in an interview that she wanted to eventually have a system that can 'hold back' power to certain houses at certain times of the day. The government deciding who gets heat or AC on extreme temperature days -- yeah that sounds like it will end well.

Excerpt from Glenn Beck's We Surround Them television special as aired on March, Friday 13, 2009.
Mar. 13, 2009
Here is a list of radio stations participating in the We Surround Them gathering party. Check back often for updates...
What happened to 'we may not recover from this crisis' talk? The President has been in office for not even two months and already he's changed his tune from 'act now or the United States might not make it' to 'hey, things aren't that bad---buy stocks!'. An absolutely amazing transformation that has left Glenn and many others scratching their heads.
Sergent Greg Stube stopped by the program today -- and Glenn talked about why he is so in awe of our troops, especially people who are like Stube, Luttrell. Besides the obvious sacrifice that our men and women give for this country, what is it that Glenn finds particularly admirable?
Mar. 12, 2009
Bernie Madoff is now in jail and we can all celebrate because he's a dirtbag. But some people are also celebrating the misfortune of billionaires who aren't dirtbags.
Citigroup Inc Chairman Richard Parsons said on Thursday that the bank does not need any more capital injections from the government and expressed confidence that Citi would remain in private hands.
Dr. Keith Ablow explains why it's important that we get involved and do some of the heavy lifting in getting this country back on the right track. Why do we need the struggle and go through the pain of it all in order to get there? Ablow explains...
Card check is coming our way and people are starting to stand up against it -- even some big name companies not named Wal-Mart are getting in line to oppose it. One of the big names is Burger King - home of the Whopper and the creepy plastic king. How exactly will BK be affected by card check?
Glenn and Stu react to a Drudge headline about how President Obama is considering moving troops to the U.S. border, and they come down on the exact opposite side of the argument. Stu is not opposed to sending troops to the front lines on the border---but Glenn is vehemently against the President sending troops on the streets---find out why in this heated exchange.

Museum finds "secret" message in Lincoln's watch...
Cops in Houston, Texas went to serve a narcotics warrant on a guy that they know has multiple arrests and they believe to be very dangerous---he lives in a $40,000 home and has a $50,000 security system. He watches the cops come in and shoots the first one through in cold blood. The guy turns out to be an illegal immigrant---what happened to 'they just want to live peacefully here!' Glenn talks with Michael Berry from KTRH in Houston...
Comrades! A tough break on the news from the Western front -- the attempts to have the government regulate the Catholic Church in CT have failed in light of the fact that the proposed law was 'unconstitutional'. It's only a minor setback, however, as the assault on religion will continue until it succeeds, comrades!
Amazingly, despite President Tom's (as Glenn calls Iran's president) call for the elimination of Israel and basically war on the United States, many of todays experts on TV and even in our government are saying that we should just let Iran go nuclear. Author of the new book 'Inside the Revolution' Joel Rosenberg joined Glenn to talk about this and the latest atrocity in the radical Islam world -- the dirtbags who protested UK troops and called them baby killers.
Glenn got a call from a so called conservative who doesn't believe in God and she takes issue with Glenn's focus on God in relation to America---and she cannot understand why Glenn focuses so much on the things that people said 200 years ago. We are 'progressive' now, she argued, while quoting Glenn's favorite President to hate...Woodrow Wilson.
Incredibly, a growing chorus of “experts” says yes.

With tax after tax after tax after tax being proposed it's tough not to feel like the government has us by the throat...
President Obama announced this week that he is reversing the Bush policies on no federal funding for stem cell research, citing he doesn't want 'ideology' to get in the way of 'fact'. Professor George takes issue with this line of thinking and comments on the outrageous case in Connecticut that George calls a clear attack on the 1st Amendment. Glenn says 'every person who believes in God must forget their theology for a little while and stand together...because God is under attack'.
Once again, in the middle of another brilliant episode, Fox killed the buzz with a ridiculous message about why we need to race against the clock on climate change. Why not just throw a little Helen Thomas into that Marissa Miller daydream, why don't you. Pathetic.
Dr. Bob Carter is in New York this week for the Global Warming conference - where it's weird -- scientists are showing up that actually disagree with the Al Gore theory on what is causing global warming? Shhh, don't tell Al!

Glenn interviewed one of the most successful comedians of all time, Jeff Foxworthy. He's one of the most successful comedians and also one of the most successful people at home--despite the busy schedule. We are all super busy---so how does one of the busiest manage to keep family first, and why does he think it's so important? Check out the revealing interview.
Apparently we are not much better than Thailand -- because there is a raging problem with the kid sex trafficking business here in America. Thankfully, the government is here to save the day---with---a 'Pole tax'. Yup, $5 to enter a strip club goes towards a fund that helps kids forced into the sex trade. Only in America would we need a thriving sex industry to support stopping sex trafficking of minors.

Glenn took a call today from perhaps the rarest form of human life ever to walk the Earth---a gay conservative. She came out of the closet---and then later in life had to come out of the closet again for going against the 'gay handbook' rule that caused her 'friends' to dump her almost instantly. This caller truly displayed what living with principles is all about -- instead of conforming to what the world wants her to act like, she decide to be sincere to her beliefs and live according to her principles.
Chrissy in Cleveland called expressing a little concern about inviting people over for a viewing party at her house for Glenn's 'We Surround Them' broadcast that is coming up March 13th.
Glenn goes over some amazing new polling data that shows American's are diametrically opposed to themselves. The polls asked questions ranging from 'are you for smaller or bigger government?', 'Should government raise taxes on the wealthy?', 'how would you define wealthy'? The answers will confuse and shock you.

Glenn Beck Video: Ignore advice from anyone who's offering it for free...
Ben Sherwood, author of the Survivor's Club is back and this time he has another survivor test to take---the economic survivor test. Is it just coincidence that sales of vegetable seeds are double while flower seeds are down? No, because people are starting to make choices and you know the old saying 'you can't eat flowers'. Glenn and Ben discuss how to survive the worsening economic storm.
Ben also talked about the importance of living with certain values and principles because, as he has found in his research, those without hope can suffer devastating consequences when crisis hits. Take the incredibly sad story of the NFL players and friends whose boat capsized. Only one survived -- and what happened to the other three is unbelievable.
Noted psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow talks today about dealing with adversity and how to help kids get through the difficult times. Sometimes we forget that kids notice more than we give them credit---they notice when there are more dads at the bus stop. What do you say when they start asking about it?
90% of economists think that the recession will be over by the end of the year. Exactly 0% on these same economists say the recession will last longer than the end of next year. So if you believe the polls, it's a good time to be a Democrat because Obama will get the credit no matter what. But the question is, if the economy (and Glenn doesn't buy this) is going to recover no matter what, why then the need for all of these massive bills?
On todays 'Spotlight on Science', Glenn discovers something amazing -- apparently scientists don't really know what's going on with climate change. Now they think Global Warming has 'hit a speed bump' and 'may go into hiding for decades'. Don't worry though, scientists are on the case and they have it all figured out.
Watch Glenn Beck weeknights at 5p ET on the Fox News Channel...
Mar. 4, 2009
Comrades, good news from the Western Front! Our glorious revolution is starting to take hold on a global scale...
The most honest political campaign website ever
Glenn dives into the geeky world of the blogoshpere and finds an absolutely astonishing conversation between a scientist, and a climate research scientist at a Texas university. The pro-global warming scientist actually says that to criticize Al gore is the moral equivalent to killing 1,000 people....
Glenn reads off commentary that sounds like something any mainstream Democrat would say. But it wasn't a Democrat, it wasn't a Republican -- so who was it?
The elite and the politicians of the world live by one simple rule: they don't have to live by the rules. Who is practicing what they preach on conserving energy and trying to reduce their carbon footprint? We have a lot of data to get this answer from, because as the leaders of the globe fly around the earth as they make plans for a one world government -- they are pumping tons and tons of carbon into the air. Who's the worst?

Emblems to Stamp Projects Funded by the Stimulus Package
As you can tell by the socialist policies being shoved down our throats right now, capitalism is under attack. That crappy system that has produced so much innovation we get annoyed when we can't access that server in China within 10 seconds---yeah, that one is dead. In completely unrelated news, Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" sold more copies in 2008 than any other year since its release in 1957. How could that be?
Sorry to bring this up again, because the debate has been over for quite some time now. BUT, there is a nasty rumor going around that yet more credible scientists don't exactly agree with Father Gore on the coming climate catastrophe. Have they not seen the hockey stick slide??
The debate is settled on '24' -- it's an amazing show that should be required viewing, and anyone who opposes this view should be put on a government watch list. Glenn was watching the show last night, a gripping, special 2 hour episode--when all of a sudden Keifer Sutherland broke in with a PSA that was a complete buzzkill.
People are getting together all over the country to view Glenn's 'We Surround Them' special that's coming up -- even Walker, Texas Ranger is hosting a viewing party, so you can to! Glenn talked to the one and only Chuck Norris about the viewing party, values and more. Value # 12 is Friendship - and that's exactly what value these viewing parties are supposed to cultivate. We need to realize we are not alone---and when these viewing parties pop up all over the country and you are meeting strangers who share the same beliefs that you do---it will become that much easier to live by and share. Glenn talks with Chuck Norris about this and more.
More details announced on today's program--click here to find out who is performing
Andrew Gross, author of 'The Dark Tide' is back---and his next book 'Don't Look Twice' picks up right were Dark Tide left off. Glenn loves to read fiction and one of his favorite authors is Andrew Gross - if you enjoyed the adventures of Ty Hauck then you cannot miss the latest page turner that Glenn calls a 'terrific thriller' that will leave you 'breathless or angry--depending on how you voted'.

On Monday, the Dow dropped below 7,000 for the first time since 1997 and finished the day down almost 300 points. Here's the one thing no one seems to understand right now: Economists and the government are destroyers of wealth.

Sleeping dog runs into the wall...
The hometown of President Barack Obama is finding new and innovative ways to suck every last drop of tax dollars it can sap from it's citizens. After watching Obama's first few weeks in office it's not a surprise that Chicago is the place where the President learned the ropes.
The violence on the border has heated up to the point where the State Department has issued travel advisories warning vacationers that Mexico has erupted into violence---including kidnappings, gunfights and worse. KTAR radio host and author of the book 'Another Man's Sombrero' Darrell Ankarlo has been on the front lines of the border issue and gives Glenn the latest.
OUT of CAPTIVITY is the book - it's the absolutely amazing story of 3 Americans who were held hostage by FARC terrorists after their plane crashed deep in the jungles of Columbia while scouting out drug traffic activity. They spent over 5 years in the jungle and did everything they could to remain sane while being held in cages and tied together with chains and then almost accidentally blew the cover on the top secret and very bold rescue attempt put on by brave members of the Columbian army.
Bernie Goldberg has an article appearing in Fusion Magazine and a new book about the media and their 'slobbering love affair' with Barack Obama. Goldberg talks about the media's undying love for the One and also how he's been told Wal Mart will not carry his book because it's 'anti-Obama'. Bernie points out that his book is anti-media, not anti Obama---so if this is true, why would Wal Mart refuse to sell the book?

No. Not when it comes to that annoying lady on the Manhattan street corner always saying 'doesn't anybody have it in their hearts to help the homeless!' because Glenn actually witnessed one of these 'volunteers' taking money out of the jar to buy cigarettes. That and the government is already forcing us to be loving and caring towards the homeless - why bother asking us? Glenn tells of what it's like for him to walk the streets of New York City -- as a prominent conservative television host.
Glenn was in a horrible mood after watching and reading the news of the day because it's becoming dizzying to keep track of President Obama's spending. $800 billion stimulus here, $400 billion omnibus bill there, $3.6 trillion dollar budget over there and don't forget about the hundreds of billions going towards nationalizing banks too. Steve Moore tries to talk Glenn off the ledge, a near impossible task given the truth of the situation: we're screwed.
Mike called into the program and like many Americans he is frustrated at the outrageous spending and blatant distribution of wealth that President Obama is ramming down our throats.

Glenn Beck video: I'm sick of the government saying one thing and doing the exact opposite...
President Obama sent his budget proposal to Congress this week and it includes a huge reserve fund of $634 billion---or universal health care! We don't even have it yet! We haven't even had the debate! How is the President planning on paying for this and everything else in this massive mess of a budget? By taxing the wealthiest 2%. Even if you taxed 100% of the wealthiest 2% in this country, would it pay for Obama's plan?
Slowly but surely we have gone from a nation of savers to a nation of spenders - it's a behavior that's not solely promoted by marketers but by our government as well. Shortly after 9/11 President Bush told people to get out to malls and fly on planes. Part of that was meant to say 'just live life like usual' but a bigger part was he thought that would help the economy. Same thing with President Obama - he's banking on you spending stimulus money -- that's the whole idea behind a stimulus.
Cap N Trade is coming our way - the greenies have promised this system will save the Earth and promote green technologies. Europe has been using this system for the last year--so how is it working for them? The system is in total collapse.

I'm going to give President Obama the same advice that I gave President Bush, and if he ignores it like Bush did, he can say goodbye to those great approval ratings, too.
Something socialists haven't considered with their massive spending bill is will the organizations getting these massive amounts of cash -- for example the HUD department will be managing $1.5 billion to prevent homelessness. They have never been charged with 'preventing homelessness' before. Sounds like that will turn out well. But that's not the only department that is suddenly going to be managing more money than they've ever fathomed having their hands on.
In our spotlight on science - the greenies got enough cash to the government for them to send a $278 million satellite up into space in order to 'learn more' about CO2 and other items. Wait, wasn't the science settled on that one? Why the need to spend $278 million to learn more about something that science has already settled. How did things turn out?
Remember the story from Connecticut about the chimpanzee who ripped the face off of a woman last week? Well, Congress is hard at work making sure THAT never happens again. There's only one little problem -- Congress is not hard at work for YOU. Sort of-- HR 80, the Captive Primate Safety Act, was actually a bill introduced in congress by the humane society to make sure the chimps, like the one that ripped the face off of a human being, would never be held captive in a cage at a home because that's cruel and unusual punishment. They weren't doing your bidding. These spineless weasels were doing the bidding of the chimpanzees! The fact of the matter is that no one in Congress wanted to be seen as an animal hatemonger -- so they all wimped out on this bill. If someone could summon just a shred of courage maybe we'd get more done for we the people and focus less on the rights of chimpanzees.
Here’s a few examples of the thousands of ‘pork’ (or non pork) items…before you go bashing the coral reef research---just remember how many times you’ve been helped...

Glenn's thoughts on everything from why he is 'gloom and doom' much of the time to the status of the perfect storm and even Glenn's plea to politicians...
President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that more money may be required to repair debt-laden U.S. banks and revive the economy.
Ron Paul on Glenn Beck - Financial Fix?
Everyone is talking about trying to save the banks but we must first rescue something else from the brink of collapse: our values.
Glenn opened the line today for those struggling because they listen to and watch The Glenn Beck Program. Yes, Glenn has been trying to warn you about the tough times ahead...yes Glenn makes a lot of sense when he explains things. But has it been going well for the listeners who then take that message and try to explain it to their spouse? Callers who have been deemed 'crazy' because of their association with Glenn call in to vent.
John Ziegler, producer of the documentary 'Media Malpractice' joined Glenn today to talk about the release of film, that shows the unfair treatment the media gave to Sarah Palin. As he makes the media rounds, the left leaning 'news' folks aren't buying his theory. But it's not that difficult a theory to prove because there is video evidence everywhere you turn.
Al Gore has been using a stat to make his case for more government funding for green jobs. He is out there claiming that there are more jobs (currently) in the renewable energy sector than there are in the gas and coal industries. That's quite a claim and the explanation for all the money he wants dumped into the green job sector. There's just one little problem with his stat: it's not true. The factor in everything imaginable to count as a 'wind energy' job, yet only count miners as all coal related jobs.
It was not a good week for Al Gore. First he gets busted making up jobs numbers, then his latest slide show hits some turbulent weather. Turns out, one of the slides he has been using to tell people that the Earth coming to an end isn't really accurate at all. That's so weird because the science was settled on all of this at one time---and now it's not, so it's almost like they were wrong or something.
Feb. 23, 2009
The problem with the media is that they cover important stories individually but they haven't put the pieces together...
Obese man had to take U-Haul to get to court appearance
Glenn really got the blogs and the pundits buzzing with Friday's TV show that focused on worst case scenarios...
Massachusetts is using the environment to implement its latest attempt at another socialist tax scheme - it's called the 'Hummer tax'. They want to charge more for registration on large SUV's and give discounts on registration for hybrids and fuel efficient cars. Does anyone think that SUV sales will slow down because of a registration fee? Not likely. Tax the rich, give to the poor--SUV's still polluting the earth.
Glenn had dinner last night with good friend of the program Navy Seal and author of 'Lone Survivor' Marcus Luttrell. He's an amazing man and just one example of how many brave American men and women we have fighting for us in our special forces. Another friend of the program, Michael Kobold, also understands just how amazing people like Marcus are and he stopped by to tell of his quest to climb Mt. Everest that will benefit the Navy Seal Warrior Fund.

The government is ready for worst-case scenarios. Are you?
That's the depressing part of the story--the perplexing part is that although most support universal food, health care etc---they also say that too many people look to the government for help. How is it that people have no problem with all of the big government programs yet complain that too many people are begging the government for help?
CNBC video from yesterday where reporter Rick Santelli gives a spirited commentary expressing his frustration at President Obama's mortgage speech--you know, the one where he basically said 'it's ok if you can't pay the mortgage, I have a bandaid for that boo-boo.' You can see the resentment growing -- is this a turning point?

NY Post apologizes — to some — over monkey cartoon
Nobody is getting the truth, because the media always misses the point. Take the mortgage bailout...
President Obama spoke yesterday and once again it sounded like a 'Price is Right' showcase showdown. Tell em what they've won, Rod! Glenn listen to the agonizing audio and responds.
President Obama said he will 'put back in it's rightful place' because scientists know everything! Well, almost everything. It seems that scientists don't know how to keep mice with the bubonic plague from getting lost or stolen. But seriously, what could possibly go wrong with plague mice on the loose? Glenn responds and shows why this program has won so many (0) science awards.
From the New York Times - an article about the sense of entitlement that's on the rise with students. They feel that all they need to do to get a 'B' is attend class. For an 'A' they have much tougher standards: they have to show up and listen to the lectures. That sounds like a great idea -- we wouldn't want you to earn it or anything. We wouldn't want you to be oppressed under the tyranny of a competitive, capitalist atmosphere. Ah, kids. Where do they get such crazy socialists ideas, anyway. It's not like there is someone in authority promoting socialism---oops, never mind.
California is not going through a pleasant economic time right now, and those who put their faith in the government to bail them out are paying the price. What happens when someone puts family first--puts the responsibility of their success or failure squarely on their own shoulders instead of waiting for someone else to take care of you?

President Obama said he's going to fix the mortgage industry today. But everything the government said would fix things hasn't worked so far, because they don't realize bad companies need to fail for capitalism to work.
Glenn Beck video -- What would a socialist America look like? A socialist's perspective...
Actually, the caller did most of the work. After a few minutes this caller had completely destroyed his whole argument -- and the best part is he didn't even realize he just humiliated himself on national radio.
The amazing budget saga is still unfolding in California, where they've laid off 20,000 state workers (a mere drop in the bucket out of the 2.5 million state workers in CA) and proposed massive tax hikes to cover the deficit. What got them into this situation and how outrageous is it that the state is refusing to give out tax refunds owed to its residents? Glenn talks with CATO analyst Tad DeHaven who explains the California mess and how the stimulus is only going to make it worse.
Media ignores Alaska's fiscal success during economic crisis: While California is running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to figure out what to do about their budget crisis, the media is ignoring the fact that Alaska is in solid financial shape to weather the economic crisis storm. While California is handing out IOU's instead of earned tax refunds, Alaska is able to assure it's people that they have billions tucked away for a rainy day to help Alaska survive for at least 2 years if the economy collapsed.
In Australia they've got a little drought going on, so the government has stepped in with the solution: pay per flush taxes. That'll solve the water shortage! Or, will poor people be forced to sit there in their own squalor while middle-upper class folks continue flushing at will? Don't look too deeply into that---you may notice a flaw in socialism.

'I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday' - Sounds easy enough, but do we follow this principle each day? Do we give in when the outside pressure gets tough? For example, would someone who believed in the dangers Al Gore speaks of with Global Warming - would that person fly a giant private jet around when not absolutely necessary? Today President Obama is flying out to Denver to sign the stimulus package in Air Force One - normally Glenn wouldn't have a problem with this, but when you are telling everyone to radically change the way they live and use energy...couldn't he sign the bill at the White House? Glenn explains this and more about what living with principle looks like.
The founder of a TV network aimed at improving the image of Muslims in the United States didn't help his cause after chopping his wifes head off. Bridges TV (get it, building bridges), the station with the goal of improving the image of Muslims in the United States, is probably covering this event in a fair and balanced way. These were the guys on the front lines of shutting people down who said anything negative towards Muslims---do they do more damage by ignoring the heads rolling on the floor than those who point it the bad ones?
Remember the French bicycle program? Launched about a year and a half ago with the promise of saving taxpayers millions, while helping the Earth--it's (no way!) about to crumble. The 'higher than expected' thefts and vandalism (nearly 100% of the bikes) has left the company who provided the bikes reeling from the repair costs...costs which the government has had to give bailout money towards. Socialism is neat!

There's not much else you can say to describe the agonizing events surrounding this craptastic spending bill other than Nancy Pelosi sucks. This time it's because she rushed vote on the nearly 1,071 page stimulus so she can jet off to Europe. Not only have Democrats already broken their promise to give 48 hours consideration to any major bill - they are about to pass the biggest spending bill in the history of the planet...without even reading it. Glenn crunches the numbers on how fast those voting would have to read the bill in order to finish before the vote and even has his voice digitally sped up to see if it's possible to finish the bill on time--the results aren't pretty.
Not in the category they want to be, instead ABC news is reporting that Phoenix is the #2 ranked city in the world for kidnappings. They averaged just over 1 per day in 2008. How could that possibly be happening without the media catching wind of it? Darrell Ankarlo from KTAR in Phoenix has been covering this story for a long time, has authored a book about it and joined Glenn today to talk about the madness that is daily kidnappings in Phoenix.

Remember that big tax break Obama talked about on the campaign trail---the one for 95% of all Americans? You remember, the one that would save us from this tough economic time? Well, the details are finally released and now it's pretty clear why they didn't release the details before the election. $13 per week is what people who qualify are getting. That is $676 bucks for the year! Don't get too excited though, because next year it drops to $8 per week.
Reed Hastings, the CEO of Netflix has reached out to President Obama and asked him to raise the taxes of anyone that makes over million dollars to 50% per year! But what Hastings may not know is that he can already pay more taxes.

Is it just us or does Geithner look like the character Carl Bruner from the movie Ghost...
Here's the one thing: I've been watching the things that President Obama has done in three weeks and I've come to the conclusion that the man is either a moron or a genius.
Today William called up, angry about how Glenn cast shadows and doubt over McCain--and he never should have done that because now we have Obama. William is just perpetuating the problem---making it about a political game and us vs. them rather than principles. Reagan's 11th commandment, concocted during the 1966 campaign that said "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican"----was wrong. John McCain deserved those shadows because he was taking us to the same place--only a little slower. If a so called conservative republican---like McCain---is promoting socialist ideas, then call him out on it!
Glenn has watched the events of the last few weeks unfold and some of the moves Obama has been making---like stuffing the spending bill with pork---just looked so insanely stupid. But, is it possible that all of the silly pet pork projects were part of the plan all along? Glenn gives his take on the remaining question: Is Barack Obama an out of control idiot, or a complete genius?
Watching Obama's town hall meetings is like watching an episode of the price is right---get called on and maybe you'll win a new car! So many of the questioners were more like beggars---emploring the President to give them more unemployment, more benefits and more.
Congressman Paul Kanjorski, the guy who called for the 'reasonable profits board', was on C-SPAN last month talking about the day the economy almost died. There was an electronic run on the banks happening back one day in mid-September---to the tune of $550 billion dollars. Kanjorski claims that if they didn't act like they did---the U.S. economy would have collapsed in hours and in one day the world economy would have collapsed. Was the 'electronic run' on the banks orchestrated?

There's the start of universal healthcare in this spending bill, and President Obama didn't even mention it in his speech last night. I'll explain in just a minute why if you're old you should get used to a little pain.
U.S. lawmakers worked late into the night on Tuesday haggling over a final package of tax cuts and spending initiatives, as talks centered on an $800 billion package to fight the deepening recession.
The Six Million Dollar Man is to be featured in upcoming commercials for the environment.
The Obama stimulus bill is frightening because as it gets rushed to passage, more and more items buried deep within are being discovered. Items like the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. They're going to monitor the treatments and make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost-effective. Yup---they used 'government' and 'cost-effective' in the same sentence.
Glenn's conversation with 'New Deal or Raw Deal' author Burton Folsom -- an up close look at the misconceptions of FDR's alleged successes.
Thomas Woods, author of 'Meltdown', joined Glenn today to take a closer look at The New Deal---FDR's 'stimulus' attempt to rescue the nation during the great depression. Growing up in school we all learned how great FDR was and how he saved America--in actuality the New Deal only prolonged the depression.
The doctor who claimed he found a link between measles vaccinations for children and autism back in 1998---a study that cause a panic and subsequently people to stop vaccinating their kids---misreported the findings. So, not only did cases of measles rise---but so did this research groups notoriety, which helped them stay around long enough to produce another erroneous statistic that was used as anti-American war propaganda.
Most of us have probably heard just about all the arguments we can take in favor of the so-called stimulus package Barack Obama urges upon us. They boil down to this: if the government seizes resources from individuals (whether by direct taxation, borrowing, or inflation) and devotes them to arbitrary projects, we will prosper.
Feb. 9, 2009
So I'm going to just ask you right now just to think of these things and just answer out loud.
Meltdown by Thomas Woods --- it's a great primer on what happened, where are we going from here and it's filled with great stats.
FDR once capped salaries at $25,000 -- and anything made over that was, he felt, excessive, therefore he decreed the government would take it off your hands at a nifty tax rate of 100%. Sounds crazy, right? Barney Frank is supporting the idea of spreading the $500,000 salary cap for CEO's who take federal assistance money---to ALL U.S. companies. Yes, this is the hope and change we signed up for---trillion dollar spending bills and salary caps---depressing, no?
Remember when you thought $700 billion was a lot of money? Those were the good old days, weren't they? That's chump change now---remember last year they just raised the debt ceiling to 10 trillion and Democrats were saying "We have got to stop this outrageous spending!"---well, how much have we (they) spent since October? $9.7 trillion. Even though that's only enough money to pay off 90% of all the mortgages in America and we've had a 'mortgage crisis' we are going to stimulate the economy in other areas, like green technologies. Wouldn't it just be easier to pay off almost everyone's mortgages? Don't answer that.
Just a few short months ago, as gas prices were soaring, politicians and scientists alike were sounding the alarm 'we have to start finding alternative fuel sources---ethanol is great and it's right here at home!'. We were assured that it would be wonderful for the environment---which was a good thing since we were planning on burning our food in order to get it---but scientists have re-opened the debate on ethanol. Is it as good as they said it was?

Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) has no shame. She's openly lobbying for the 'fairness standard', a tricky new name for the 'fairness doctrine'. She's upset because (not kidding) 'Obama 1260' radio went out of business, like many other liberal talk stations. So, libs like her want to mandate stations put libs on the air.
Glenn's gut occasionally takes a break from telling him to eat and gives him that 'something's not right' sense. For months, the moves by GE have been bothering him but he wasn't quite sure why. The picture became a whole lot clearer with the announcement today that President Obama named GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt to his economic advisory team. So, the company that has been pushing green technologies and turning MSNBC into a far left joke will be advising on United States domestic policy? What could possibly go wrong!
The giant spending bill is rapidly losing support - mostly because people are starting to see what their hard earned money is going towards.

This is what hope looks like? Obama said today that we may not survive if we don't pass the stimulus package. Sounds more like fear mongering to Glenn, but hey, who are we to question 'the one'? President Obama says it's absolutely necessary to our nations survival, so Glenn re-looks at what's in the stimulus package to see what we 'have to pass' in order to survive.
If you are getting rid of your refrigerator for the planet you are dumb as a box of rocks and you are probably an environmentalist. Rachel Muston, a 32-year-old information-technology worker for the Canadian government in Ottawa took the plunge and is currently refrigerator-less and she is encouraging others to do the same in order to 'go big' for the environment.
Even after winning the election, progressive liberals wouldn't choose now to force a Cap & Trade (aka 'spread the wealth') system that taxes companies on the invisible gases they use, would they? That would cause businesses to go under and the economy to fall off even further than it has already---so of course liberals want to jam Cap & Trade down our throats! Isn't socialism neat?
TARP recipients as of January 31, 2009...
In todays spotlight on science Glenn takes a closer look at a recent discovery---by scientists--of a ridiculously large snake that ruled the ancient Amazonian rainforest for 2 million years before slithering into nonexistence. The discovery of this snake, that scientists say was the size of a school bus (about 43 ft) and heavier than a Volkswagen Beetle, shed 'new light' on snake evolution, but also provides 'telling insights' into climate. Wait, wasn't the science already settled on that?

She probably just misspoke---but we will report on this like a liberal would on George W. Bush. Nancy Pelosi is an idiot! Watch the video on the idiot Nancy Pelosi here. Glenn also projects these dire numbers Pelosi reports.

Smart Grid technology that monitors everything in your house that uses energy. You turn on the TV and the 'computer' knows that you have your tv on. A chip goes in every appliance that communicates with the smart grid. Sounds awesome---until the government decides we are in an energy crisis situation and suddenly your thermostat doesn't go above 60 degrees. Is Glenn just paranoid?
She went to the turkey baster people---she had 8 put into her and decided not to 'selectively abort' any of them once she found out all 8 planted. One little problem---this woman is poor, single and already had 6 kids, bringing her total to 14 kids. Glenn is somewhat torn on this one because hey, you should be able to have the kids you want---BUT---don't do it on my dime. What's Glenn's solution?
Google has teamed with NASA to get working on creating the next generation of computers that are 'smarter than humans' and will solve problems like energy, hunger and disease. If they can solve those problems, couldn't they create them as well? Glenn clings to his guns and his Bible and dares to ask questions to the almighty scientists.

Would you be shocked to learn that the solution presented by the government is----another tax? This time, the tax will be on every single mile you drive.

Ben Sherwood joined Glenn for an extremely interesting hour devoted to analyzing survivors and the lessons that can be learned from them. Have you ever been in a crisis situation---how would you react in a life or death scenario? In his new book, 'The Survivors Club' Sherwood uncovers some amazing trends from survivors of all different circumstances---the book is also a treasure trove of useful information that will help you be prepared for anything. What's it take to be a survivor?
Yeah, yeah---you know the story of the Alamo. So why does Glenn think everyone should re-think what happened back at the Alamo? Well, Mexico is on the verge of collapse---that has Glenn's spider senses tingling about the role Texas may play in the near future. Glenn tells the story of the Alamo and explains why he thinks it's relevant today...
The super collider, remember that wonderful science project? The scientists had it all figured out---it was perfectly safe and wouldn't destroy the earth, until oops, scientists redo the math and find it could destroy the earth after all. But probably not, so don't worry.
Do you think the media should have pointed out this was not a bi-partisan bill? They didn't because they don't want to put the pressure squarely on the Dems shoulder? If this stimulus doesn't work---it's on the Dems. If the economy does turn around, then the GOP gamble lose and you can bet that the media will not hesitate to point out that the GOP was not on board with it.

Video: Watch both parts of Glenn Beck's one-on-one with the Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich...
Yesterday Glenn took a caller who said he had basically unplugged from the political madness because he felt alone in that he couldn't do anything to stop whatever the politicians are doing. Glenn is making it his mission to ensure the audience that they are NOT alone.
President Obama has said that he will put a focus on science during his time as President -- and that is good news for America's #1 award winning science radio program (The Glenn Beck Program). Glenn is putting the spotlight on the great work scientists everywhere are doing---like this story about controlling geese populations. The simple scientist solution? Geese abortions.
Notice how the number of jobs the Obama administration keeps saying will be created by this 'stimulus' (Glenn is now calling it the 'spending') package keeps mysteriously doubling? First it was a few hundred thousand jobs. Then it was a million. Now it's 2 million new jobs from this spending bill. Let's just wait to pass the bill, because in anther couple of weeks there will probably be 10 million new jobs on our march to socialism!
Question: Should you save money if you still have debt?
Jan. 27, 2009
The politicians favorite tactic of pitting Americans against each other has got to come to an end...
Glenn talked to one of those callers who have totally unplugged from the political games and tried to talk him into plugging back in---because when we unplug, the politicians win. That's what they want---if we unplug, then they have all the power. If we make ourselves heard---then they have someone to answer to. If they don't listen to you---then vote em out.
It's no longer a question of if we move to socialism--it's when we get to socialism. We are on an unstoppable march to socialism that seems to be unstoppable. The socialists and progressives are selling their ideas and the public are buying it---do you recognize socialism when you see it? Glenn highlights the socialist story of the day...
A baker is getting some heat over his Barack Obama inspired inauguration cookies called 'drunken negro face cookies'. Perhaps the only good part of this story is that the baker of the cookies is selling the loving liberals in New York City. The baker defends his blatant racist cookies with the old 'it's just for fun' defense.
All week, Richard Paul Evans is contributing to the email newsletter on the lessons he has been taught that have helped him become financially secure. He has written personal finance books in honor of the person who helped him along the way---and he doesn't get any royalties from the books---it's just a 'thank you' and pay it forward kind of deal.
First, there are few things in America as common as debt. A lot of people have different philosophies about debt and there are questionable books out there telling you to just blow off your debts. Most of it is trash and what they conveniently leave out is how much you, and others, will suffer for following their advice.

Is President Obama's stimulus package socialism in disguise?
What would you ask Rod Blagojevich if you had the chance? Well—you do. Today, Rod Blagojevich comes on Glenn’s Fox News program to Meet The People...
Glenn breaks down the stimulus package proposed by President Obama and explains that while he's not for printing all this money--if they are going to do it, why not send it to the average taxpayer?
There is a lot of the government pie about to go around---but who is getting what exactly?
President Obama says that 'government is the only way' to fix the current economic mess we are in---so it's reasonable to assume he feels the same way about other issues, like eminent domain. Jeff Benedict has the amazing story of a woman who battled the Connecticut state government over her house---a story that shows you not to listen when you are told 'all hope is lost' in a fight against the government---because you do have a chance.
Last week we talked to Daniel Suarez (computer programmer and author of the book 'Daemon') about the the threat cyber threats our nation faces in this high tech day and age. Not long after the interview there was a big news story about a computer worm that experts believe is just the first stage of a huge cyber attack on the way. Author of 'Spies Among Us' Ira Winkler joined Glenn to talk about the threat...

It's Friday and for most people that means they are getting ready for the weekend---but for Glenn it's another day dominated by worry---worry about the state of our republic. He's got plenty of reason to be concerned---because the government is taking it from us right before our very eyes...
Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) noticed something disturbing in the 'stimulus' package--A little section that read 'and $600 million to prepare America for Universal Health Care'. Wow, $600 million just to prepare for it? Sounds like it's going to be cheap. No seriously, socialism is going to be so much fun when it's fully in place in America. Glenn talks with the Congressman about how the powers that be are shoving socialism down our throats---slowly but surely and in the dark of night.
Yesterday Glenn talked with Daniel Suarez, author of Daemon -- the thriller that sets out to entertain and inform on the implications of living in a technologically advanced world. Think your computer is safe? Think again---Daniel is back today in a special exclusively for the Glenn Beck email newsletter that talks about the zombie on your desk---and if you have never heard the term 'botnet' you should probably read this piece because your computer may have joined a 'botnet' without you knowing it.

Dec. 13, 2007
Whoopi Goldberg was talking on The View about the death tax and how she thought it just wasn't right that someone should be taxed more than once on the same money, a view which she was then trashed by liberal bloggers for having. Welcome to life on the conservative side of things, Whoopi -- hold a common sense viewpoint and get turned into the hate monger.
For some bizarre reason Alan Keyes was allowed to participate in the latest GOP debate---despite the fact that Gravel and Kucinich won't be allowed to participate on the Democrat side.

A female contractor working with Halliburton was raped within a couple of days of landing in the green zone. . It clearly wasn't safe for her, and now she and others are demanding answers to why this case has been shoved under the rug.
MSNBC has found decent ratings success by having Keith Olbermann read the Media Matters blog site word-for-word, so they figured why not sell out to that formula?
Glenn Beck (and fans) finally got to hear first hand from Senator Fred Thompson, who made his first appearance on the program.
Dec. 10, 2007
Perhaps the most annoying thing about the meteoric rise in the Mike Huckabee campaign is the crappy slogan TV news came up with -- 'Huckaboom' -- that seems to be everywhere.
Steve Moore from the Wall Street Journal talked to Glenn about an interesting article out today on how people are fleeing blue states in favor of red states -- to the tune of 5 million people over the past decade. Could it be that, despite what Democrats tell you, people actually don't like higher taxes?
After Joe Horn shot and killed two thugs who were robbing a neighbor's home, he has found himself smack in the middle of a nationwide media storm. It looks as though according to Texas law he is going to get off without any charges---but should he?

Glenn talked about his appearance on GMA yesterday in which the other guest involved in the segment said he did not believe Mormons were Christian. Fortunately, Glenn was too tired to bother getting overly upset about that claim, but it was still extremely frustrating. It got worse, though, because Glenn was asked to basically explain all of the beliefs of the Mormon Church---in about 40 seconds.
Dec. 5, 2007
It's one of the
most amazingly sad stories you will ever read. An 'eco freak' from the U.K. talks about how and why she places more value in Earth than people.
Mitt Romney is set to give his big 'Faith in America' speech tomorrow, and Glenn will be a special guest. Glenn and Stu discuss the upsides and possible downsides of Romney's decision to give the big speech.
And Glenn's pick for Time Person of the Year is......Al Gore. Of course, that's not Glenn's pick, that's just who he thinks Time will pick. Other good guesses that came up were 'The Undocumented Worker' and 'Mother Earth'.

When the United Nations touts your city as the 'third most livable city' you shouldn't be celebrating that fact. Glenn has been broadcasting from Toledo the last 2 days, and made the off-hand comment that because of government corruption the city has gone to crap.
Dec. 3, 2007
At age 69, we've lost one of the most bizarre and great American icons -- Evel Knievel. Somehow he managed to give Americans that sense of pride in their country by simply jumping his motorcycle over lots and lots of cars. Glenn talks about how the phenomenon worked.
Just had to give you this story -- simply because of the 'defense' that the girlfriend provided for her boyfriend who had just been busted for running a wide ranging car theft scheme.
Horn was the guy from that amazing 911 tape where you hear him cocking his shotgun and telling the operator 'I'm gonna kill em' referring to a couple of thug illegal immigrants robbing his neighbor's house.

Glenn's celebrity voice guy (and longtime friend) Brian Whitman came on the show today and sparred with Glenn on 08 candidates (Brian is a liberal) and made such proclamations as 'Rudy is a liberal'.
Nov. 29, 2007
Last night's debates were supposed to be a chance for Republicans and conservatives to ask questions of their possible candidates, but what actually happened at the CNN YouTube GOP debate was very interesting.
Nov. 28, 2007
It's debate #851 of the 2008 presidential election season, and this time it's the GOP candidates who get to field those oh so fun YouTube questions tonight on CNN.
Scientists are always right, as you know, and they prove it with things like the global warming 'consensus' of today and of course the global cooling they predicted back in 1975.
It's the holiday season and as you know Glenn is a very generous individual who thinks of others often. A prime example of this is Glenn's recent pledge to donate many of his books to people in need.
Nov. 27, 2007
Pat Buchanan claims in his new book that the 'End of America' is near because of the 'perfect storm' that's happening around the globe right now (Glenn should have copyrighted that!).
Glenn, like every other human being out there, is for curing all forms of cancer. What Glenn isn't for is the airline stewardess asking not once...not twice...but three times for donations to a breast cancer fund mid flight.
Yesterday Glenn brought you the story from Washington Times reporter Sara Carter about how terrorists were plotting to attack an Army base in Arizona.
Nov. 26, 2007
The seeds of discontent are growing here in America, as evidenced by a freaky dude in Dylan Klebold type attire who told Glenn 'we will kill all the traitors' during one of his book signings.
During his 'Inconvenient Book Tour' this weekend, Glenn shook hands with about 7,000 people, and said that these people 'get it' when it comes to the Perfect Storm.
It sounds like a plot line from a bad 1990's Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, but unfortunately it's true. Glenn talks with Sara Carter from the Washington Times.
Nov. 21, 2007
Glenn gives a flash of his old days as a disc jockey and spins a couple of Christmas tunes, just like those all Christmas music stations do around this time of year -- when he gets interrupted by his way too politically correct program director.
Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Christmas season on the isle of New York: Barney's in Manhattan has managed to make Christmas completely irrelevant with their new window displays this year.
Nov. 20, 2007
In one of the most amazing 911 tapes Glenn has ever heard, this Texas man is witnessing a robbery taking place in broad daylight at his neighbor's house.
Nov. 19, 2007
More developments are happening in the Compean and Ramos case after the drug thug that the two agents shot was finally caught. Presidential hopeful Duncan Hunter joined Glenn to give the latest developments plus talk about this
letter he wrote to President Bush arguing the case to send agents Compean and Ramos home for good.
An article out today explains that the U.N. feels action needs to be taken immediately to stop global warming.
Nov. 16, 2007
Johnny Sutton has finally arrested the drug smuggler that was the key to putting Ramos and Compean behind bars. We find out today that there were two loads of drugs and the federal government knew who this guy was for quite some time.
Nov. 15, 2007
Warren Buffett was on Capitol Hill this week making the oh so brave pitch to politicians of 'please, tax me more' as if they needed the encouragement.
What started out as Glenn just trying to get to the bottom of people being kidnapped at an alarming rate in Laredo, Texas (by thugs from Mexico) has ended up in an all out political battle. Both the Mayor of Laredo and the Congressman from the district that represents Laredo have decided to attack Glenn instead of attack the border problem.
Nov. 14, 2007
It's been a rough go of it for Hillary lately, the first gaff was her two minute flip-flop on driver's licenses for illegals and the latest mistake was getting snagged planting questioners in the audience at her speeches.
He's not exactly 'Hollywood', but actor/writer Ben Stein is a conservative. You probably know him as the boring teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off and host of Win Ben Stein's Money, but he's also the author of 16 books and many fantastic columns.
Glenn knows he is right in an argument when the person on the other side starts crying racism--if there was a legitimate point to make besides 'Glenn's a racist!' they probably would have brought it up.
Nov. 13, 2007
Glenn was interviewing David on TV last night when he stumbled across an amazing fact that he never knew before. Glenn was aware that David was a Marxist back in the days of his youth, but so were many people during that hippie time period. What Glenn did not know was the reason he was a Marxist----his parents.
The Mayor of Laredo, Texas (Raul G. Salinas) called on Glenn to apologize for his 'negative comments about Laredo' made on the TV program last week. Glenn's point is simply to try and keep the bad guys (from Mexico) out of Laredo.
Nov. 12, 2007
Most American's were surprised to learn this weekend that the not-getting-any-younger Senator McCain's mom is still around, which is always good news to hear.
This Robert Redford movie is apparently more boring than the Horse Whisperer (a three plus hour snore fest in which Redford talks to a horse), because absolutely no one went to see it.
John Coleman is a meteorologist and weatherman from San Diego who has been in the field for 55 years -- and he is also the founder of The Weather Channel.
Nov. 9, 2007
So much for the whole scientific consensus thing that Al Gore is always citing. The founder of the Weather Channel, Meteorologist John Coleman, has written a piece calling the global warming movement 'the greatest scam in history.'
Glenn hit a boiling point on the border crisis today, and it was all sparked by a segment he did on TV last night. What got him so outraged was the arrogance that Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar displayed towards Sheriff Rick Flores from Cuellar's own county, Webb County, in Texas.
Nov. 8, 2007
After getting the endorsement of Pat Robertson, Rudy Giuliani stopped by for another interview with Glenn to talk about what that means to him and how the endorsement came about.
Green week on NBC has blood shooting out of Glenn's eyes and the blood started gushing when he learned about the questionable business ties NBC has to the green movement.
Nov. 7, 2007
After talking about how these logo changes are just so annoying because they mean nothing and are just marketing ploys, Glenn remembered a statistic that showed the different reasons why people by hybrid cars.
Lots of political news today after Glenn returned from taking a sick day (thanks to Kevin Wall for filling in). First up, Dennis 'ET' Kucinich is wasting everyone's time by trying to have Dick Cheney impeached.
It's always interesting when callers who hate Glenn make it on the air, and Phil certainly hated Glenn. He tried to bash Glenn as being some partisan Bush apologist.
Nov. 6, 2007
Yesterday, Glenn discussed the current political crisis in Pakistan and promised to send out a complete briefing on the situation based on the following principles.
Nov. 5, 2007
Thank goodness for YouTube, because words alone cannot express the complete lunacy of NBC's green halftime show Sunday night during the Eagles/Cowboys football game.
Glenn's radio contract negotiation with Premiere has finally been settled, leaving you with at least five more years of everyone's favorite evil conservative hatemonger.
Nov. 2, 2007
The Daily Telegraph, a major paper in the UK, came out with its list of the 100 most influential U.S. conservatives and liberals this week.
Many people are telling Glenn about the real conservative people should be considering for President in 2008: Duncan Hunter.
Nov. 1, 2007
The U.N. must not be satisfied with the worldwide UNICEF carton collections, because they just keep on pushing ways to implement a global tax. The door may be starting to creep open on that front, with the Law of the Sea Treaty, which Glenn believes will lead to a U.N. global tax.
Oct. 31, 2007
It's G.I. Joe gate for toy company Hasbro and movie giant Paramount as they move to change the 'Real American Hero' to an international entity. People have not reacted kindly to the blatant disregard for a WWII Medal of Honor recipient, so Hasbro went on damage control.
Here is their lame explanation that has Glenn still saying he won't buy toys from Hasbro.
Rudy Giuliani was a hot topic at the debate last night with Joe Biden at one point claiming that Rudy was not qualified to run for President. Let's take a brief look at what Rudy has done: went after the mob as a United States attorney in Manhattan, turned around the biggest city in the country as Mayor of New York City, and inspired and led a country during the worst attack on U.S. soil ever.
Oct. 30, 2007
The old saying 'Yo Joe' is on its way to being a thing of the past. Attempting to make a new movie about the action figure, Paramount is changing G.I. Joe's name to an acronym standing for (not kidding) 'Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity' and making him part of an international force because 'it's a tough sell---American heroes'. Everyone loves an entity, right?
Oct. 29, 2007
On both the genocide and Iraq issues, the US can take steps to repair ties with this key NATO ally. Two hot-button issues have set off Turkish ire and severely strained US ties: Turkey's history with war and increased dangers to its present-day ...
By JOSEPH KAHN BEIJING, Oct. 16 - Chinese officials warned the United States not to honor the Dalai Lama, saying a planned award ceremony for the Tibetan spiritual leader would have “an extremely serious impact” on relations between the countries.
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) Senator Larry Craig GLENN BECK: Now, for a guy who`s not gay, Idaho`s Republican senator went way out of his way yesterday to repeatedly tell us how gay he is not.
Senator Hutchinson visited Glenn in studio to talk about her book Leading Ladies: American Trailblazers along with the ongoing immigration crisis.
Students at our nation's universities these days must be focusing on the 'high' part of 'higher education', because much of what they do doesn't make sense. Several weeks ago, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was applauded during his speech at Columbia University because 'all views should be heard'.
John Edwards is running for President, although judging by his platform it seems like he is running for President of France (he'd probably lose there, too). He is calling on Americans to make sacrifices, like pay more taxes, to help fight poverty.
Oct. 26, 2007
Glenn created a brand new segment that features 'good news from the Western front!' It's a segment where Glenn updates the news going on here in America that would be pleasing to our socialist comrades back east.
Oct. 25, 2007
Arnold Schwarzenegger got fed up with the annoying line of questioning that ABC's Claire Shipman gave him and scolded Shipman for 'looking for a mistake' when 'it's all good news'.
Should blind people be able to carry concealed guns? The logical answer that comes to mind is 'no'. But, as Glenn and Stu talked more about it, the answer was not so easy.
Oct. 16, 2007
It's one of those stories that just has no good people in it. None of them are particularly evil, just a bit greedy and vengeful.
Sep. 26, 2007
While Stu (and the rest of the media) were on protest watch at Columbia University, there were 25,000 people at the UN protesting Ahmadinejad's appearance. Glenn and Stu wonder if this fortunate timing was planned by President Tom?
Aug. 30, 2007
A Colorado elementary school has decided to ban the popular playground game 'tag' because kids were being 'chased'. Isn't that the whole point of the game? Glenn is worried about the generation of kids we are raising if they are being taught that they cannot play tag because it causes to much 'conflict'. Will we have anyone capable of defending our country in 20 years?
Aug. 24, 2007
Perhaps one of the reasons the citizens in Iraq are beginning to like Americans is because they are getting a first hand glimpse of the American spirit, like we are seeing right now in Ohio.
Aug. 15, 2007
The ACLU claims with enthusiasm that they are committed to protecting our right to worship. How, when and anything we choose. Unfortunately they aren't practicing what they preach.
