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.

What's in the House and Senate health care bills that is not in the Constitution? The redistribution of wealth.
Democrats in the U.S. Senate geared up for a fierce battle over a new healthcare reform plan on Thursday as Republicans condemned the bill's price tag and tax hikes before the first crucial test vote on Saturday.
Nationally syndicated cartoonist Rob Smith Jr. chimes with his latest Glenn Beck exclusive.
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?

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.

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.
Nov. 11, 2009
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.
Nov. 10, 2009
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.
Nov. 6, 2009
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!
Oct. 22, 2009
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.

Watch Glenn Beck weekdays at 5p and 2a ET on the Fox New Channel...
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.

Baby Falls Under Train And Survives
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
Oct. 15, 2009
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...

Dog Scared by Cat in Laptop
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?

A very special show this Friday. A live studio audience of all doctors and medical students. Why our doctors are worried about Obamacare passing.
Since the administration is watching and we want to have a dialog, Glenn has installed a direct line for the White House to call the studio. If you believe this country is great but your freedom is at stake, watch these videos...
Oct. 13, 2009
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?

Oct. 9, 2009
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! All you have to do is make a video about Glenn's new #1 New York Times bestseller 'Arguing with Idiots' and you'll have a chance to win.

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...

The Obamas are doing all they can to bring the Olympics their beloved Chicago. But would Justice Sotomayor award the Olympics to Chicago?
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.
Arguing with Idiots is now available in book stores everywhere...

Well, the second chapter of Arguing With Idiots is the Second Amendment, and a guy who was instrumental, I mean, came to the table with more facts ask the best arguments you could possibly imagine is Alan Gura.

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.

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.

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...

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?

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.

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.

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 . . .

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?

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?

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...

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.

Why the government should ban knives
Aug. 21, 2009
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.

Hello... or should I say goodbye? We're holding a funeral of sorts for the small businesses in America that are dying - and the gov has their blood on its hands.

I'm really going to have to change my thinking around on this health care bill. Now, all of a sudden, reputable doctors are showing up at town halls and, like, totally showing their support for Obama-care!

A popular liberal website has gone on a quest to find juicy information on the 912 Project -- and what did they actually find out? That you all are actually grassroots...
Aug. 14, 2009
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.

Random video - a cute kitten gets crushed by a pillow...
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.

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!

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.

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.

While the government warns that right-wing extremists could be domestic terrorists, and The New York Times, says I could incite those crazy conservatives to violence, the extreme left is actively calling for violence!
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.

Household Cap-and-Trade Burden Calculator
219-212: See how your representative voted. 44 Democrats broke with Obama, 8 Republicans went against their party...
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.

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.

Here's the one thing: When the media completely ignores the biggest fraud in history, conspiracy theories are born.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Did Glenn fall off the wagon?
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?
May. 31, 2009
Glenn is expecting liberals to hate the upcoming Glenn Beck Common Sense Comedy Tour and write scathing reviews of it. So in an effort to be helpful Glenn has invited his listeners to do their job for them, by writing their own version of a liberal's review of the show before it even hits the stage.

Glenn Beck's Common Sense Tour
May. 29, 2009
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?

Army Starts Testing 'Judge Dredd' Weapon
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!

Our glorious revolution is taking hold. The American pigs are bowing to our every whim without even knowing it. In their puny capital in Washington, they're making sure all Americans will drive a car they don't want — just like Russia's Lada!
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.

The new influenza strain circulating around most of the United States is putting a worrying number of young adults and children into the hospital and hitting more schools than usual, U.S. health officials said on Monday.
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.
This time it may cost him his own skin -- Biden amazingly gave away the secret hiding location for the Vice President of the United States.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There are libertarians out there, and you watch them...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
Watch this clip and judge for yourself if Chris Matthews called the Navy Seal snipers who took out the Somali terrorists 'lucky'.

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.

President Obama, apparently feeling like there's not very much on the country's "to-do list," is reportedly going to work on immigration reform later this year and hopes to create a path for the estimated 12 million illegal aliens in America to become legal.
Glenn talked today about why he chose the San Antonio Tea Party and what he's planning on doing at the event.

Giant 'Hand' Reaches Across Space
I don't mean that in a literal sense; I know the Navy had a ship on the way to the area. I mean it in the sense that we've become so politically correct that no one would even dare think about sending Marines to fight pirates...
Jim Meigs, Editor-In-Chief of Popular Mechanics took a camera and set out to prove or disprove the FEMA camps claim once and for all. He joined Glenn on TV and showed the clips side by side--the conspiracy clips and the new clips...

It's time for America to experience some tough love, but instead we're being coddled. Think about it like parenting, but your kids in this case are our politicians.
GM, Segway team up on 200-mpg 2-seater
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. Pray for Marcus---this guy put it on the line for all of us and keeps getting one bad break after another.
Critics slam Microsoft bridge as waste of stimulus money...
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.

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'
Glenn Beck: The government is full of vampires who are trying to suck the life-blood out of the economy...
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?
John Ondrasik, the voice behind Five for Fighting, is a long time supporter of the troops and he has a new single out called 'Brothers in Arms'. It's a beautiful song that's featured in the movie 'Brothers at War', the story of two brothers who went to fight in Iraq and their other brother who went to find out why. It's only fitting that Glenn talked with John shortly after asking 'where are the people who live with principle' --- if there is anyone in our country who lives with principle, it's the men and women who serve in our armed forces.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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.

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?

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?

Israel will not allow arch-foe Iran to develop nuclear weapons, no matter what the political make-up of the Israeli government, outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday ahead of a national election.
Mexican drug gangs near the U.S. border are breaking into police radio frequencies to issue chilling death threats to cops which they then carry out, demoralizing security forces in a worsening drug war.

Obama has turned message of hope into one of doom and gloom...
Feb. 6, 2009
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.

The former VP of the US — and a Nobel Prize winner — is looking your kids in the eye and telling them they know things that you don't...
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?

Amazing audio that a listener, Andy, sent to us of Al Gore giving a speech to 3,000 young school kids--one of which was Andy's 12 year old daughter who was record She recorded it...
Pelosi says that every month the stimulus package is not passed, we lose 500 million jobs here in America. Wow, Nancy, that's pretty scary stuff! 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.
If you pay close attention to the global warming stories of the day---you'll notice that they rarely say global warming. Instead, they like to say global 'climate change'.

What better way to give our students a unfiltered, non-biased education on the environment? Bring in a representative from a company that makes solar panels, that outta be pretty fair and balanced, right? Your kids are being indoctrinated by eco-freaks--read about it here...
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.
Feb. 2, 2009
Here's the one thing: President Obama said we we're entering a new era of responsibility. And he's right, if he means that you don't have to be responsible for anything you do.

Charlie Rangel, Timothy Geithner, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and most recently Tom Daschle are just a few in a long line of politicians who can't seem to figure out how to pay taxes...
Some states are 'concerned' about the drop in gas tax revenue due to high mileage vehicles and people driving less. 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. Yup, they want to put a GPS device in your car to monitor how many miles you drive (that's all they want it for---riiiiight).
John Rich, country music star who's just fed up with government---Glenn thinks this is right on the money with how people are feeling. The name of the song is 'Shutting Detroit Down' ---Glenn played it on today's program and talked to John Rich.
$3 billion of your money is being designated (through the stimulus package) to the National Science Foundation---a federal agency---so you have the right to know what it is the scientists there actually do. Unfortunately, we get the answer: search for porn, as much as 20% of their workday. Find out more about this new brand form of government 'research'...

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.

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.
