VOICE: 9/12 march on Washington update.
GLENN: We have Yvonne Donnelly from the 9/12 Project. Hello, Yvonne, how are ya? Let me go to Line 12 here on this phone that I love so much. Hello, Yvonne.
YVONNE: Hi, Glenn Beck.
GLENN: How are ya?
YVONNE: I’m fabulous. How are you?
GLENN: Very good. How are things at the 9/12 Project?
YVONNE: They are so fantastic I can’t ‑‑ sometimes words don’t even come to me, it’s so great. This movement is just, really they’re just on fire.
GLENN: I got a letter from a 9/12 person, I think it was from you last night, up in Rochester and they said they were having 10 new members a day.
YVONNE: Yes. I was going to bring that up. The point is that after six months we are not even close to slowing down. In fact, we are getting a resurgence right now. I think people are so excited about going to the march. And just because we are getting a message, we’re hearing what you’re saying, we’re listening to what other people are saying in the news and it’s just inspiring us that much more to grow and get bigger and to do what we’re charged to do.
GLENN: Okay. So what is happening in Washington D.C. on 9/12? I’m covering it, and I know that ‑‑ I’ve seen the list of speakers. There’s a lot of speakers there. And they’re from ‑‑ they’re not GOP speakers. I mean, you’ve got the Ayn Rand Society also being a part of this.
YVONNE: Yep.
GLENN: What exactly is going to happen? Do you know, Yvonne?
YVONNE: Yeah. In fact, I did want to mention to the listeners today that we are asking anyone, any of the 9/12ers that want to march together to line up and meet at 8:30 at the north side of the Washington Monument. We can see the White House from there. We can say good morning to the White House staff.
GLENN: Have you heard, have you heard from 9/12 people all around the country? I mean, where are they coming from?
YVONNE: Oh, I have someone that I connected with, in fact she was the one that really pushed me into going to the march. She’s flying in from Seattle. And I mean, I’ve got tons of those e‑mails. But she in particular one day wrote me and said, you know, are you going? I just made my airline tickets. And I thought, if this woman can come all the way from Seattle, I’m going. So they are just coming from all over the place. And we have some really heavy states like Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, Ohio. And we have real ‑‑ you know, those states, you know, are just showing up in mass numbers. But they’re coming from all over.
GLENN: I was in on Saturday, I was in a small town in Pennsylvania and I was talking to some people afterwards. I saw them in the crowd and they had 9/12 T‑shirts on and they said, I think it was 500 or 700 people part of the 9/12 project just in that little small town.
YVONNE: Yes.
GLENN: It’s amazing.
YVONNE: Isn’t it? Isn’t it?
GLENN: And by the way, some good news. The Financial Times reported today that if Barack Obama wants to understand why healthcare was derailed, he need look no further than the Glenn Beck program radio and television audience. That’s according to the Financial Times today.
YVONNE: That’s fantastic. We ‑‑
GLENN: I mean, that’s the 9/12ers, man.
YVONNE: That’s fantastic. I mean, we’re powerful movement, you can’t ignore us anymore. And you and I talked about this recently. I liken it to, we’re an emergency situation here with our country, okay? And what happens and what has happened historically is that people, millions of people responded to emergencies such as Katrina, okay? We have the same thing going on today.
GLENN: How do people volunteer or get involved? Would you ‑‑ you know what, Yvonne, would you come back? Because I’m up against another network break. Would you come back another day? I’d like to actually have you and some of the 9/12ers do a special broadcast, an after‑show for Insider and I’d like to be involved and maybe take calls from 9/12 groups.
YVONNE: That would be great.
GLENN: And see how they’re organizing and questions from them. Would you be willing to do that?
YVONNE: Oh, that would be fantastic. I’d love to get those folks from Rochester on because they’re really doing the ‑‑ I mean, they’re amazing. That’s all I can say about them.
GLENN: America, 9/12. It is a Saturday. If you will be in Washington, I will be in Washington and I will make sure all those in Washington ‑‑ that are not in Washington see you and your face all around the country. 9/12.
