For more than 1,500 people who crammed into the Books-a-Million store in Jupiter late Friday afternoon, it was the arrival of the “king” — the King of Conservatism.
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.
It's time for the truth – straight up, whether you like it or not. Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck are teaming up and going on tour. Your town may never be the same.

What's in the House and Senate health care bills that is not in the Constitution? The redistribution of wealth.
Dates announced for Glenn Beck's NY Times best seller Arguing with Idiots book tour, coming November 19-21.
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.
A complete list of all the hidden taxes in the new Senate health bill
Just like the original 2,032-page, government-run health care plan from Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) massive, 2,074-page bill would levy a new “abortion premium” fee on Americans in the government-run plan.
What does it take to get a wavering senator to vote for health care reform?
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?

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.

Really? Newsmax asked the question...
News wire assigns 11 reporters to fact-check Palin's autobiography, but didn't fact-check Obama's books
About 5 percent of spending in federal programs in fiscal year 2009 was improper, according to new details of a government financial report that were released Tuesday.
It's no secret to students that coed dorms are more fun than same-sex dorms. But they can also fuel very unhealthy behavior that might otherwise be moderated.
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.
Nov. 16, 2009
Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

Sarah Palin instills the kind of excitement the Republican Party needs, says former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who added that the party should be thankful for her appeal to its conservative base.
New York Governor Says Trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 4 Others In New York 'A Decision I Would Not Have Made'
A small-time actor and former children's entertainer who was known for playing Santa Claus was sentenced Monday to nearly 20 years in prison for his role in an international sex tourism ring that preyed on young children.
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.

The federal stimulus funding that has reached Michigan so far has created few private-sector jobs and some recipients of the cash have overstated the number of jobs created or protected, an analysis by the Detroit Free Press shows.
The Obama administration, mindful of public anxiety over the government's mushrooming debt, is shifting emphasis from big-spending policies to deficit reduction. Domestic agencies have been told to brace for a spending freeze or cuts of up to 5 percent as part of a midterm election-year push to rein in record budget shortfalls.
A British woman who trapped her pedophile husband by posing as a teenage girl on the internet has been praised by a children's charity, Sky News reported.
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?
President won't accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead to clarify when responsibility would be turned over to the Afghan government.
A group of doctors overseeing Nidal Malik Hasan's medical training discussed concerns about his overly zealous religious views and strange behavior months before the Army major was accused of a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, that left 13 dead and 29 wounded.
Global gold production is in terminal decline despite record prices and Herculean efforts by mining companies to discover fresh sources of ore in remote spots, according to the world's top producer Barrick Gold.
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
Finger-pointing erupted between federal agencies Tuesday over Fort Hood shooting suspect Nidal Hasan.
The Army psychiatrist believed to have killed 13 people in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood had "more unexplained connections to people being tracked by the FBI" than radical imam Anwar al Awlaki, investigators have found, a senior U.S. official reportedly said Tuesday.
A real estate group says home prices fell in eight out of every 10 U.S. cities in the third quarter of this year as heavily discounted distressed sales made up 30 percent of all deals.
Herodotus wrote of a 50,000-man strong army that set out on foot into the Egyptian desert in 525 B.C. and was never heard from again ... until today.
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.
Glenn Beck will now have five consecutive New York Times Bestsellers with the release of his new book, The Christmas Sweater: A Picture Book.
The House healthcare bill could take America a step closer to bankruptcy, according to the editorial page editor of The Washington Post.
President Barack Obama is nearing a decision to add tens of thousands more forces to Afghanistan, though likely not quite the 40,000 sought by his top general there, as Pentagon planners work to ready bases and provide equipment the troops would need in a country with scant resources.
Robotic toy hamsters, the latest Barbie dolls and stylish boots are disappearing from store shelves as holiday shoppers start to get serious. But don't confuse this with the days of Tickle Me Elmo.
Those photos you post on Facebook could paint an accurate picture of your personality, new research on first impressions suggests.

The picture book edition of The Christmas Sweater is a beautiful holiday treat from Glenn Beck that you’ll share with your family again and again.
Yet another #1 for Glenn...
Don't look for the Senate to quickly follow the House on health care overhaul.
The glow from a health care triumph faded quickly for President Barack Obama on Sunday as Democrats realized the bill they fought so hard to pass in the House has nowhere to go in the Senate.
The Independent Democrat, who chairs the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, said there were 'strong warning signs' that the alleged gunman, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, was an 'Islamist extremist.'
A New York City bicycle cabbie who mocked the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl and posted a prayer on the Web calling for the murder of Jews is now sending a "Get Well Soon" message to the suspected Fort Hood gunman, the New York Post reported.
We want to hear from you. Vote now!

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.
Glenn re-introduces The Christmas Sweater by picking up where the story left off by chronicling the life-changing impact The Christmas Sweater’s message has had on people all over the country.
Army psychiatrist remains on ventilator after rampage that killed 13 people and wounded 28
A bad week for Democrats compounded by an awful moment for Barack Obama.
Republicans host a rally against Democrats' health care reform, calling on those who attend to track down their elected representatives in Congress and put pressure on them to think twice about voting for the more than $1 trillion health care overhaul.
Buoyed by two major endorsements, House Democratic leaders on Thursday predicted swift passage of President Barack Obama's historic health overhaul initiative. The president himself declared, "We are closer to passing this reform than ever before."
The unemployment rate has hit double digits for the first time since 1983 -- and is likely to go higher.
The ombudsman for PBS apologized Thursday for a “Sesame Street” skit in which the world-famous muppets mocked “Pox News” – a clear attack on the Fox News Network.
Space explorers have yet to get their hands on the replicator of "Star Trek" to create anything they might require. But NASA has developed a technology that could enable lunar colonists to carry out on-site manufacturing on the moon, or allow future astronauts to create critical spare parts during the long trip to Mars

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.
Glenn has long talked about the progressives and their goal of transforming the country -- transforming it into something reminiscent of a Karl Marx daydream. There is a new TV show on called 'V' on ABC that debuted last night which seems to be based exactly on what Glenn has been saying about progressives for the last couple of years. Watch and decide for yourself...but the similarities are eerie.
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.

Independents who swept Barack Obama to a historic 2008 victory broke big for Republicans on Tuesday as the GOP wrested political control from Democrats in Virginia and New Jersey, a troubling sign for the president and his party heading into an important midterm election year.
After months spent criticizing Democrats' health overhaul plans, House Republicans have produced a draft proposal of their own. It's much shorter and focuses on bringing down costs rather than extending coverage to nearly all Americans.
Political soap opera captivated nation in final days
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.
Democrats added billions in higher spending for public health, a reinsurance program to hold down retiree health costs, payments for preventive services and more
Fearing a potentially devastating Democratic loss, the highly controversial Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) group and its affiliated organizations are gearing up to tip the scales and re-elect embattled incumbent in the hard-fought New Jersey gubernatorial race, sources tell Newsmax.
Capitalism and democracy have lost popularity in the former Soviet republics of Eastern and Central Europe, where many people felt better off economically under communism, a poll showed Monday.
Nearly half of all U.S. children and 90 percent of black youngsters will be on food stamps at some point during childhood, and fallout from the current recession could push those numbers even higher, researchers say.

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?

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?

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.
It runs more pages than War and Peace, has nearly five times as many words as the Torah, and its tables of contents alone run far longer than this story.
Millions of consumers will suffer skyrocketing insurance premiums next year due to "indirect taxes" contained in both the House and Senate versions of healthcare reform, according to various medical and insurance industry experts.
House Democrats blocked the public from attending the unveiling ceremony of their health care bill Thursday morning, allowing only pre-approved visitors whose names appeared on lists to enter the event at the West Front of the Capitol.
The provision allows Medicare to pay for voluntary counseling to help beneficiaries deal with the complex and painful decisions families face when a loved one is approaching death.
An early progress report on President Barack Obama's economic recovery plan overstates by thousands the number of jobs created or saved through the stimulus program, a mistake that White House officials promise will be corrected in future reports.
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
House Democrats reached agreement Wednesday on key elements of a health care bill that would vastly alter America's medical landscape, requiring virtually universal sign-ups and establishing a new government-run insurance option for millions.
Federal authorities on Wednesday arrested several members of a radical Sunni Islam group in the U.S., killing one of its leaders at a shootout in a Michigan warehouse, the U.S. attorney's office said.
Trumpeting a victory against careless spending, President Barack Obama on Wednesday signed a defense bill that kills some costly weapons projects and expands war efforts. In a major civil rights change, the law also makes it a federal hate crime to assault people based on sexual orientation.
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...
The announcement is a blow to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and signals that he does not yet have the votes to advance the health care bill.
During his first nine months in office, President Obama has quietly rewarded scores of top Democratic donors with VIP access to the White House, private briefings with administration advisers and invitations to important speeches and town-hall meetings.
Glenn Beck's The Christmas Sweater: A Picture Book is now available.
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?
Glenn is very excited to release the children's version of The Christmas Sweater -- the touching story of a boy who discovers what it means to get the perfect gift. A wonderful read -- and as an added bonus...no liberal indoctrination! Only the good kind of indoctrination in this one.
Oct. 26, 2009
In the health care debate, Democrats and their allies have gone after insurance companies as rapacious profiteers making "immoral" and "obscene" returns while "the bodies pile up."
Health care legislation heading for the Senate floor will give millions of Americans the option of purchasing government-run insurance coverage, Majority Leader Harry Reid announced Monday, although he stopped short of claiming the 60 votes needed to pass a plan steeped in controversy.

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?
Apparently they think you are a slut. Or at least that you want to be a slut. Guys have some sane options -- women? All choices lead down the road to sluttyness. The slutty prison guard, the slutty firefighter, the slutty Wonder Woman, slutty nurse...etc etc. Glenn talks about the upcoming holiday, fall, and why Halloween stores think all women want to be whore's on parade this October 31st.

Has anyone noticed the amount of beatdowns going on lately?
Bob Bauer, the top lawyer for the Democratic National Committee and husband of White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, is under serious consideration to replace Greg Craig.
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!
Throwing rotten eggs at "them lyin' newspapers" has always been great sport in America, and sometimes even effective politics. But it has to be done with wit and humor, which may be above Barack Obama's pay grade.
The decline in Barack Obama's popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years.

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...

President speaks for the first time about advisers bashing Fox News, but says he's 'not losing sleep' over it
The U.S. pay czar will cut in half the average compensation for 175 employees at firms receiving large sums of government aid, with the vast majority of salaries coming in under $500,000, according to people familiar with the government's plans.
“The 9-point drop in the most recent quarter is the largest Gallup has ever measured for an elected president between the second and third quarters of his term, dating back to 1953.
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.
For the first time since he took over in the White House, Americans don't see eye to eye with President Barack Obama on the important issues, according to a new national poll. But the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey does indicate that a majority approve of how Obama's handling his duties as president.
The leader who prods his critics to put politics aside is doing anything but these days: President Barack Obama is campaigning for his party's future.
The Obama administration is working hard to curb nuclear threats but failing to address the more urgent and immediate threat of biological terrorism, a bipartisan commission created by Congress is reporting today.
A popular haunted house in Simi Valley that attracts thousands of children each Halloween has been shut down because the city deemed it an unsafe structure.
For 15 years, the Deck family has been scaring neighbors and trick-or-treaters at their annual haunted house. But this year, the boogey man turned out to be code enforcement. "When I came home from work, they posted a No Entry sign over my sign, that no one's allowed to use it," said homeowner Paul Deck.

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.

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.

Group asks police and military to lay down arms in response to orders deemed unlawful

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

On September 10th of this year the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) posted a press release informing the world that “from October 19-25, more than 60 network TV shows [will] spotlight the power and personal benefits of service,” and that this “unprecedented block of TV programming is the first wave of a multi-year ‘I Participate’ campaign.”

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

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

The largest U.S. analysis of adult hospitalized swine flu patients has found that 46 percent did not have asthma or any other underlying condition.
Could this have been something from Glenn's childhood?
Rush was on the Today Show, and it was interesting to watch (yet again) the media try to get a handle on a conservative. Rush has, as always, fantastic answers and when asked about Glenn says 'he's right on' while adding that he started the conservative talker movement.
A perfect example of a good government idea that just doesn't work: forcing restaurants to put calories on menus. Governments idea is you will see the numbers on the menu and resist turning yourself into a fat fat fatty -- reality is you don't give a crap about the number on the menu. If you want the Big Mac, you are going to eat it. They tested the calories on the menu mandate - how has it worked out?
Al Gore was giving a speech recently and doing something he rarely does -- take questions. When one of the questioners asked him about the 9 factual errors in Gore's film, Gore laughed him off and gave a weak answer to the charge. A few moments later, the questioner had his microphone shut off. Apparently he didn't know he was talking to Mr. 'the debate is settled' himself, Al Gore.
Vince Flynn, best selling author with the new book 'Pursuit of Honor' joined Glenn to talk about where this country has been and where it is going. Vince is always extremely interesting to listen to -- and Glenn describes one of the chapters in the new book as 'conservative porn'. Where does Vince see the nation in the next few years?

President Obama woke up with a pleasant surprise -- the news that he'd won the Nobel Peace Prize. Even those who want him to succeed in implementing his progressive policies and have complained he hasn't accomplished any of them.
Our government wants to spend money -- perhaps adding a 2nd stimulus package -- at the same time the World Economic Forum comes out with a report on different currencies and their stability. Where does the United States Dollar rank out of the top 50 currencies? If you saw Glenn's recent TV program on the demise of the dollar you know this poll doesn't end well.But how bad is it?

The White House is stepping up its attacks against the Fox News Channel, labeling it a bastion of stilted and opinionated journalism.
So, you know, it is what it is, but Americans are totally annoyed by the use of "whatever" in conversations.
Glenn reports that Costco is now selling food for survivalists to the tune of a years supply for $799. This isn't some fringe end of the world group doing this -- it's Costco. Why now?
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!).

As the first wave of swine flu vaccine crosses the country, more than a third of parents don't want their kids vaccinated, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll.
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...

Democrats in a handful of states are facing pressure from Republicans to distance themselves from the Service Employees International Union as a result of its ties to ACORN
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.
The Christmas List, by Richard Paul Evans, the #1 bestselling author of The Christmas Box is not only a page-turner (you'll be dying to know how it ends) but it will also make you cry, think and want to be a better person. It's exactly the kind of message that America needs right now.

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?

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...

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.

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.

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

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck said Thursday the ethics investigation into the community activist group ACORN will yield no meaningful findings unless it reaches into the top levels of the organization or the White House gets involved.
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.

The left says Glenn Beck must be stopped. Beck, a media giant who commanders not just the radio but television, books and even comedy halls nationwide, is starting to collect liberal scalps. And the left, along with their chums in the mainstream media, won’t stand for it.
A Boston attorney hired by ACORN to conduct an independent, internal review of its practices vowed a "no hold's barred" investigation on Wednesday into the grassroots organization.
Much of America discovered James O'Keefe III and Hannah Giles through their hidden-camera, make-believe pimp and prostitute videos of ACORN employees giving advice about establishing a brothel with underage hookers.
Bullet-makers are working around the clock, seven days a week, and still can't keep up with the nation's demand for ammunition.
Ringing two abandoned pyramids are nine palaces "frozen in time" that may help unravel the mystery of the ancient Maya, reports an archaeological team.
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...

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.
Pared-down summit will force heads of rich states to listen to those of third world in hope of kickstarting radical action
The recession is profoundly disrupting American life: More people are delaying marriage and home-buying, turning to carpools yet getting stuck in ever-worse traffic, staying put rather than moving to new cities.
With his healthcare plan on life support, President Obama hit the cable circuit to promote his plan to America. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Univision and the Late Show with David Letterman all got interviews – the one major network overlooked? Fox News.
What are the irrefutable stats? Glenn argues with the idiot on poverty and minimum wage
During his media blitz Barack Obama said the media is ‘rude’ and he didn’t want to provide any ‘catnip’ by commenting on issues like ACORN, which isn’t a big issue according to the President. A group eligible for over $8 billion in taxpayer money giving advice on tax evasion, prostitution, and running a brothel for underage illegal immigrants from El Salvador isn’t an important story? Glenn talks with David Horowitz about Obama’s tactics and how to combat them…
The American people wanted to know how close candidate Obama was to William Ayers to see if he had any influence on policy. Yet the fringe media doesn't even bother to look into it...

President Obama announced that he is abandoning the missile defense shield in Europe. Glenn talks about Obama's foreign policy and wonders whose best interest does he really have at heart---America, or GE? Glenn explains...
Surely you've come across this idiot in your day to day life -- the one who loves the Prius more than anything and hypes how well they are selling. Next time you encounter this eco-idiot, make sure and bring these stats about how unpopular hybrid cars actually are. Where could you get these wonderful stats?
Is it racism or an honest disagreement? In recent days, some — including former President Jimmy Carter — have suggested there is a racial element behind opposition to President Obama and his policies.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw … I saw this myself in the late '70s in San Francisco,” Pelosi said, choking up and with tears forming in her eyes.
The House Republicans' top campaign chief strongly denounced Speaker Nancy Pelosi's comments that appeared to question whether today's angry conservative protests were similar to anti-gay rallies in the late 1970s that preceded the assassination of two San Francisco political leaders.
The House has voted to deny all federal funding for ACORN, the community organizing group that has been caught up in several scandals.

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.

On the same day that the anti-poverty group ACORN announced the launch of an "internal review" after four undercover videos exposed its workers offering advice on how to skirt federal laws, a fifth video surfaced that purports to show a worker offering to help bring underage girls into the U.S. for the purposes of prostitution.
Now that ACORN has lost its Census Bureau contract and Senate funding, grassroots conservatives are trying to decide what's more outrageous – the organization's wrongdoing, or the media's blatant reluctance to cover it?

Governor Asks California Attorney General To Look Into Activities
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
House Minority Leader John Boehner introduced legislation Tuesday that would break all federal government ties with ACORN, and Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., wrote Attorney General Eric Holder requesting an investigation by the Justice Department
Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst to President Barack Obama during a speech to Congress last week was an act "based on racism" and rooted in fears of a black president.
In an obvious reference to the Ku Klux Klan, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., says that people will put on "white hoods and ride through the countryside" if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Rep. Joe Wilson, are not rebuked.
The White House is collecting and storing comments and videos placed on its social-networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube without notifying or asking the consent of the site users, a failure that appears to run counter to President Obama's promise of a transparent government and his pledge to protect privacy on the Internet.
The Orange police officer who was arrested last month for allegedly pretending to be his twin brother to dupe a woman into sex has resigned from the department, police said in a statement Tuesday.
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.

The 83-7 vote would deny housing and community grant funding to the organization
Days after the release of hidden-camera videos led to the firing of four ACORN workers in Baltimore and Washington who assisted an independent filmmaker posing as a pimp to apply for an illegal housing loan for a brothel, a third video has surfaced showing ACORN workers offering the same kind of assistance at the organization's office in Brooklyn, N.Y.
In the wake of President Barack Obama's recent address to Congress on healthcare, a new poll reveals he may not have the support of most Americans on his reform plans.
Increased awareness of the details of a possible compromise health care bill is boosting the comfort level of both Democrats and Republicans, a key Democratic senator said Monday.
Politico: In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview.
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.
What is with this guy and awards shows? This complete idiot either has to say something outrageous (GWB hates black people) or be an incredibly rude, egomaniac every time he's at one. Here he shows what a loser he really is, doing something so rude pretty much no human being would ever consider doing. But hey, who are we to question the intelligence behind the genius who penned 'pre-nup is something that you need to have, because when she leave yo butt she gonna leave with half' . AFter watching this clip, it's hard to imagine why any woman would ever want to 'leave' Kanye's butt.
As many as one million people flooded into Washington for a massive rally organised by conservatives claiming that President Obama is driving America towards socialism.

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...

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...

Public disapproval of President Barack Obama's handling of health care has leaped to 52 percent, according to Associated Press-GfK poll that underscores the country's glowering mood as the White House made a renewed pitch for an overhaul.
Rep. Patrick McHenry on Wednesday called for President Obama's "czars," or appointed high-level advisers, to testify before Congress about their "authority and responsibilities" in the executive branch.
Actor Charlie Sheen is demanding a meeting with President Obama to discuss his belief that the September 11 terror attacks were perpetrated by the federal government.
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...

While White House spokesman Robert Gibbs today refrained from telling reporters whether President Obama in his speech Wednesday night will set a deadline for passing health care reform, sources tell ABC News that in his private meeting with Democratic congressional leaders this afternoon the key word was urgency.
Americans would be fined up to $3,800 for failing to buy health insurance under a plan that circulated in Congress on Tuesday as divisions among Democrats undercut President Barack Obama's effort to regain traction on his health care overhaul.
Congressional Oversight Panel report says most of the $23 billion initially provided to General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC late last year is unlikely to be repaid.
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!

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.

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!

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.
In a chilling forecast, the White House is predicting a 10-year federal deficit of $9 trillion — more than the sum of all previous deficits since America's founding. And it says by the next decade's end the national debt will equal three-quarters of the entire U.S. economy.
Faced with a souring public mood on health care reform, Democrats and their supporters are launching a national grassroots push Wednesday to show lawmakers that the majority of Americans still support overhauling the system.
The economy could spiral into hyperinflation not seen since the early 1980s if the Federal Reserve does not tighten its monetary policy soon, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) warned Tuesday.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney says the CIA's interrogations of terror suspects "saved lives and prevented terrorist attacks."
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?

The slow-moving investigation of Michael Jackson's death inched forward Monday with word that the pop superstar died from an injection of a powerful anesthetic, possibly compounded by the administration of at least two sedatives.
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.

Here is the list of all the current known Czars. Keep a close eye on em -- and report any 'fishy' activity.

President Barack Obama's push for a national health care overhaul is providing a financial windfall in the election offseason to Democratic consulting firms that are closely connected to the president and two top advisers.
The Obama administration said it still hopes for a bipartisan breakthrough on its goals of expanding health coverage. But in private, top Democrats said a bipartisan accord seems less likely than ever when Congress reconvenes next month.

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?
News outlets that are focusing on the incendiary rhetoric of conservatives outside President Obama's town hall meeting Tuesday ignored the incendiary rhetoric -- and even violence -- of liberals outside an appearance by former President George W. Bush in 2002.
Public support for the Democrats' healthcare reform plans has fallen to a new low — just 42 percent of voters now favor the reforms, down five percentage points from two weeks ago, a new Rasmussen Reports poll reveals.

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.

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.

It's hardly the first time House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who earlier this year accused the CIA of lying to Congress and repeatedly has called Republicans unpatriotic, has employed some serious name-calling to characterize her opponents' views.

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."

List of health care town hall events across the country and members of Congress scheduled to attend
Top White House aides gave Senate Democrats a recess battle plan on Thursday, arming the lawmakers with tips for avoiding disastrous town hall meetings while showing them polling on popular aspects of the reform effort.
"Tyranny! Tyranny! Tyranny!" dozens of people shouted as U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Tampa, struggled to talk about health insurance reforms under consideration in Washington, D.C.
Democratic allies in the labor community are rallying their troops to reject the ways of the rowdy town hall participants we’ve seen on our television and computer screens for the last week.
It's official. The U.S. is no longer engaged in a "war on terrorism." Neither is it fighting "jihadists" or in a "global war."
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.

President Barack Obama said Wednesday he's determined to get an overhaul of the health care system before the end of the year and, if necessary, without bipartisan support.
An unruly Little Rock crowd heckled and shouted at two Arkansas Democratic congressmen Wednesday, accusing them of supporting a government-backed health plan that would take away Americans' personal choice and freedom.
A serious credibility gap has emerged between President Obama and voters over healthcare, with 72 percent saying his promise to enact a deficit-neutral overhaul of healthcare is a whopper.

The percentage of U.S. homeowners who owe more than their house is worth will nearly double to 48 percent in 2011 from 26 percent at the end of March, portending another blow to the housing market, Deutsche Bank said on Wednesday.
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.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs on Wednesday said he had misspoken in calling Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Iran's elected leader and that Washington will let the Iranian people decide whether Iran's election was fair.
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!

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.

They also talk about Russia, as Reich has done so much research on the country, are they still the evil empire or not?

The Obama administration’s oversubscribed “cash for clunkers” scheme looks likely to founder in the Senate this week as bipartisan opposition mounted on Monday to the $2bn extension passed last week in the House of Representatives.
A Massachusetts mother was horrified when she found her 7-month-old child’s photo on popular promotions site, Craigslist, advertising his own adoption.
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?

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!

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?

President Barack Obama said Wednesday there will be no vote on his proposed reforms of the US healthcare system before autumn, a setback that is costing him more political capital with each passing day.
House Republicans on Wednesday unveiled a $700 billion health care plan that would offer tax credits to help people buy insurance, yet unlike Democratic proposals, wouldn't require either individuals or employers to get coverage.
The so-called "Cadillac" health insurance plans come with hefty price tags and generally provide the insured with free rein to skip co-pays and see just about any doctor they like.
Geologist Ian Plimer takes a contrary view, arguing that man-made climate change is a con trick perpetuated by environmentalists
A South Carolina man was charged with having sex with a horse after the animal's owner caught the act on videotape, then staked out the stable and caught him at shotgun point, authorities said Wednesday.

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'

Robot attacked Swedish factory worker
Cable news' #1 show for 104 consecutive months, "The O'Reilly Factor", is up 37% over July '08. "Glenn Beck Program" is up the most, up 120% over last year's 5pmET show. "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" is up 60% and "Hannity" is up 41%.

A quarter of all Medicare spending is made in a patients final year of life, and that's when the biggest potential savings could be made.
The recent bruising Jupiter received from a cosmic impact is a violent reminder that our solar system is a shooting gallery that sometimes blasts Earth.
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?

Israel hardened its insistence Monday that it would do anything it felt necessary to stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb, just the ultimatum the United States hoped not to hear as it tried to nudge Iran to the bargaining table.
A concerted effort to start unprecedented talks between Taliban and British and American envoys was outlined yesterday in a significant change in tactics designed to bring about a breakthrough in the attritional, eight-year conflict in Afghanistan.
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...
The health care reform plan proposed by House Democrats would create at least a dozen new federal programs, boards and task forces, contributing to the proposal's hefty price tag that has drawn criticism from Congress' official scorekeeper.
For the second time this month, congressional budget analysts have dealt a blow to the Democrat's health reform efforts, this time by saying a plan touted by the White House as crucial to paying for the bill would actually save almost no money over 10 years.
The proposed health-insurance bill from the House of Representatives refers to mentally disabled people as "retarded" -- a term advocates, relatives and physicians find outdated and offensive.
A new Rasmussen Reports poll shows that President Barack Obama's rating in Rasmussen's Presidential Approval Index has hit negative double digits for the first time.

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. 24, 2009
The leader of a group of Democratic fiscal conservatives in the House of Representatives said talks on a U.S. healthcare overhaul bill fell apart on Friday and that he saw no possibility of a deal now.
For the first time since President Obama entered the Oval Office, a majority of voters disapprove of the president's job performance in a Rasmussen tracking poll - a downturn that has the potential to sap the White House's clout as it begins the heavy lifting required for health care reform.
President Obama called the Cambridge police officer who arrested his friend, prominent Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., but did not go so far as to say he apologized to the sergeant for saying the police acted "stupidly" during the incident.
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.
President Obama says he will not sign a health care reform bill that adds to the deficit but GOP number-crunchers accused House Democrats on Wednesday of budget sleight-of-hand that will add hundreds of billions to the deficit.

Washington’s got another bright idea that most Americans don’t like.
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.
Jul. 22, 2009
President Obama tries to rally support for health care reform at his fourth prime-time press conference. But with momentum slowing considerably in the effort to reach a deal by the August recess, the president concedes that he wants to "do this right" and says he wouldn't sign a bill that doesn't achieve key objectives like reducing costs.
President Barack Obama said on Wednesday he realized Americans were skeptical about his healthcare overhaul, but that the country's economic recovery depended on implementing the $1 trillion plan.
From the 1961 Operation Coffee Cup Campaign against Socialized Medicine as proposed by the Democrats, then a private citizen 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
House Democrats put their divisions on display over the details and timing of health care legislation Tuesday despite fresh attempts by President Barack Obama to hasten a compromise on the issue that looms increasingly as a major test of his clout.

Last week, when President Obama threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the All-Star Game in St. Louis, he was probably more concerned with getting the ball over the plate than with his choice of attire. Call it a rookie mistake. The president's baggy pants were mocked as being... brace yourselves... "mom jeans." Now, the leader of the free world has responded to his fashion critics.
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?

A series of bailouts, bank rescues and other economic lifelines could end up costing the federal government as much as $23 trillion, the U.S. government’s watchdog over the effort says – a staggering amount that is nearly double the nation’s entire economic output for a year.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and California legislators announced a tentative deal to eliminate a $26 billion deficit Monday evening, with state agencies looking at billions of dollars in cuts as part of the plan.

Southwest Airlines says an Arizona man was stung by a scorpion that hitched a ride in his carry-on luggage and delivered its sting just before his flight landed.
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?
The bill would provide 700 million dollars for the "Restore Our American Mustangs Act" for a horse census every two years and "enhanced contraception" or birth control for horses.

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!

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
Saying it was "time to get this done," President Barack Obama pressed on Wednesday for swift congressional action on healthcare after a Senate panel approved a bill to overhaul the $2.5 trillion industry.
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.

Never-before-seen video of when Michael Jackson's hair caught fire during the taping of a Pepsi ad.
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?
House Democratic leaders offer a $1.5 trillion health care plan, which would seek a 5.4 percent tax increase on individuals making more than $1 million a year.
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.

The stimulus isn't working, and Americans don't want another – that’s the finding of a new IBD/TIPP Poll. So why is Congress mulling a second stimulus when the first has so obviously failed?

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.

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.

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?

On February 12, 2008, the night Barack Obama won the Maryland, D.C. and Virginia Democratic primaries, he held a massive rally (does he hold any other kind) at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. “Where better,” Obama asked, “to affirm our ideals than here in Wisconsin, where a century ago the Progressive movement was born?”

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.
Saving Freedom is Senator Jim DeMint’s firsthand account of the unsettling socialist shift—behind-the-scenes actions in Congress that are changing the character of our nation. He illuminates key principles of freedom and how they are being compromised by big government.

Glenn Beck's Common Sense has hit the #1 spot on the USA Today Best-Selling list and will hit #1 on the July 5th New York Times Best Sellers list, making Beck one of just a few authors in history to hit #1 on the New York Times fiction, non-fiction and paperback original bestseller lists.
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.
The media has been covering the death of Michael Jackson non stop all weekend long - we got it already, he's dead - if the media did 12 seconds of work they could find ways to relate the story to actual news. Glenn finds one of these stories -- the much talked about fact that Jackson owns the rights to the Beatles catalog. The real story is, why would they sell those rights? Glenn explains the answer.

A tragic life comes to a tragic end -- but at least the King of Pop is no longer in pain. What an absolutely tragic life this guy led - the best selling artist of all time and he ends up mangling his face and living, literally, in circus. From giving the children Jesus Juice to dangling his newborn baby over a balcony, Jacko was never far from a controversy and the media loved to follow him because he was just a weird dude. But a really, really talented weird dude. Glenn reacts to the news of his passing.
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?

"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...
Last month, when Republicans tried to stall energy legislation with hundreds of amendments, Democrats hired a speed reader to get through them all. Now, with Democratic leadership barreling through its hefty agenda this summer, it looks as if the speed reader's services may be needed once more.
Music icon Michael Jackson, whose fame spanned from his childhood with the legendary Jackson 5 to a superstar solo career that earned him the nickname 'King of Pop,' died Thursday afternoon at a Los Angeles hospital. He was 50.

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.

President says he won't 'prejudge' Congress' work on health care overhaul, even if it means new taxes
After going AWOL for seven days, Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday that he had secretly flown to Argentina to visit a woman with whom he was having an affair. Wiping away tears, he apologized to his family and gave up a national Republican Party post, but was silent on whether he would resign.

A fair and completely unbiased look at Glenn Beck's Common Sense
Follow Glenn Beck's executive producer Stu Burguiere on Twitter...
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.

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.

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.
As heard on the June 23 radio program.

North Korea has accused US President Barack Obama of plotting a nuclear war on the communist nation by reaffirming a US assurance of security for South Korea, the North's state media said.
The commander of U.S. forces in South Korea says North Korea is believed to be boosting its capabilities to stage guerrilla warfare.
President Nicolas Sarkozy declared Monday that the Islamic burqa is not welcome in France, branding the face-covering, body-length gown as a symbol of subservience that suppresses women's identities and turns them into "prisoners behind a screen."
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.

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!

Billy Joel and his young wife are separating. Glenn's producer Dan has been predicting the demise of this marriage since it began. The news prompted another debate which made this argument older than the marriage.
A caller from West Virginia (insert joke in a moment) called in an attempt to defend marriages with wide age gaps. This turned out to be extremely counterproductive, as with each fact he revealed about his relationship -- things got more and more disturbing.
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.

In a determined step to roll back the Reagan Revolution of less regulation, more freedom, President Barack Obama is imposing sweeping new measures on the nation’s financial system. But Obama’s plan doesn’t streamline the alphabet soup of federal agencies that already exist, and it establishes broad federal control over the U.S. banking industry in a manner not seen in decades.

Not many details of President Obama's health care overhaul are being released, and given how bleak it looks that's probably by design.

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.

The Senate Finance Committee, looking for ways to pay for health reforms, has been considering the possibility of attaching a federal excise tax for the first time to soda and other drinks sweetened with sugar, high-fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners. Increasing the taxes on alcoholic beverages has also been on the congressional table.

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.
Just like Vanity Fair came to Glenn's Common Sense Comedy show with an open mind -- Glenn decides to review the review of his show in Vanity Fair. And of course, he does so in the same 'open minded' fashion that Vanity Fair uses -- which is to say he didn't open his mind at all.

Glenn Beck featured on ABC's 20/20...Friday Night, June 12th- 10pm ET
Did Glenn ruin his career by letting cameras follow him around for seemingly hundreds of hours? Probably. Check out this sneak preview of John Stossel's profile piece on Glenn that airs tonight at 10PM ET on ABC.
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.
Just like Vanity Fair came to Glenn's Common Sense Comedy show with an open mind -- Glenn decides to review the review of his show in Vanity Fair. And of course, he does so in the same 'open minded' fashion that Vanity Fair uses -- which is to say he didn't open his mind at all.

Tonight is your last chance to see Glenn’s Common Sense Comedy Tour. Don’t miss it on the big screen. Click here to find a theater near you...
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?
Controversial Fox Host Talks About Kicking Bottle, Turning Mormon and Common Sense
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.
On Call previously reported that FNC's Glenn Beck repeatedly referred to a New York Times review of his "Common Sense Comedy Tour" during his final stop in Richmond on 6/6.
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.

Would it be shocking at all to learn that the guy from the New York Times reviewing Glenn's Common Sense Comedy Tour didn't like the show? Crazy, right?
Conservatives scored victories in some of Europe's largest economies Sunday as voters punished left-leaning parties in European parliament elections in France, Germany and other nations.
President Barack Obama wants Congress to consider taxing the wealthy instead of workers to pay for a health-care overhaul, as House Democrats discuss a plan to require health insurance for most Americans.
The family was barely getting by selling scrap metal - and they're reportedly behind nearly $4,000 in property taxes.

Beck takes nation's temperature from the road
Beck is a fantastic showman, using his whole body and a legion of goofy voices, plus an abundance of natural charisma, to keep an audience engaged. He’s easy to listen to, and comes off as an ordinary, decent, smart guy who’s simply frustrated by the seemingly willful insanity native to politics.

Glenn invited his listeners to write their own version of a liberal's review of the show before it even hits the stage.
The Obama administration plans to appoint a "Special Master for Compensation" to ensure that companies receiving federal bailout funds are abiding by executive-pay guidelines, according to people familiar with the matter.
In a speech introducing Michael Reagan — the son of former President Ronald Reagan — to an audience in Anchorage, Palin warned that the government is planning to "bail out debt ridden states" so it can "get in there and control the people."
Benefits, such as Social Security, food stamps, unemployment insurance and health care, accounted for 16.2% of personal income in the first quarter of 2009, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reports. That's the highest percentage since the government began compiling records in 1929.
Remember the "shovel-ready" projects lined up for all that stimulus money? It turns out social spending, more than construction, is hitting pay dirt in the huge federal effort to turn the economy around.
Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Steven Ballmer said the world’s largest software company would move some employees offshore if Congress enacts President Barack Obama’s plans to impose higher taxes on U.S. companies’ foreign profits.
Did Glenn fall off the wagon?

"Obama is just a prettier face. I'm sure his intentions are in the right place but I don't expect much from the man," a Cairo electrician said on Wednesday as US President Barack Obama began his much-anticipated Middle East trip.
Over 2,800 people who were already dead may have "voted" in last November's election in Minnesota -- an indication either of voter fraud, or of record-keeping so flawed that it leaves the state vulnerable to fraudulent ballots being cast according to a government watchdog group.
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.
In a video post dated June 2, 2009, Breitbart TV reporter Scott Baker reveals that – shocker – Whoopi Goldberg was wrong about Glenn Beck’s lying.
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.
Take a look behind the scenes of Glenn Beck's Common Sense Comedy Tour...
Jun. 2, 2009
ABC News' Jake Tapper and Sunlen Miller report: The other day we heard a comment from a White House aide that never would have been uttered during the primaries or general election campaign.
President Barack Obama is leaving the door open to taxing health care benefits, something he campaigned hard against while running for president, according to senators who met with him Tuesday.
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.
Glenn Beck kicked off his “Common Sense Comedy Tour” here in Denver, Colorado on the 1st of June. It was everything one would expect, and then some.

US President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States cannot impose its values on other countries, but argued that principles such as democracy and the rule of law were universal.
Republican Mitt Romney scolded President Obama on Monday for apologizing to America's critics in the global arena.
Just two weeks before his arrest on corruption charges, then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich floated a plan to nominate to the U.S. Senate the daughter of his biggest political rival in return for concessions on his pet projects, people familiar with the plan told The Associated Press.
Here's the one thing: Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
GM filed for bankruptcy and will be split over time into “new” and “old” companies with billions of new dollars in support from the U.S. government as well as the governments of Canada and Ontario.
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. Here's a sampling of what we've received so far....
Here's the one thing: The government's irresponsible spending is already turning us into slaves, so you might as well literally lock us all in chains.
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner arrived in Beijing with a pledge that the Obama administration will control its borrowing as he sought to reassure China its holdings of U.S. government debt are safe.
"Britain's Got Talent" sensation Susan Boyle was in the Priory clinic Sunday night suffering from exhaustion.

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?
As you may have heard me mention, I’m a flag collector. Not just any old flags, but American flags — as in Old Glory. As a result, I know a thing or two about flag etiquette–the things you can and can’t do with a flag…like step on it.

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

Dr. Yuri Labvin, president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon Foundation, insists that an alien spacecraft sacrificed itself to prevent a gigantic meteor from slamming into the planet above Siberia on June 30, 1908.
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!

Lately, the problem on the Left Coast goes way beyond one city or citizen—the whole state’s a big, steaming mess, and the regular, hard-working men and women of the state being asked to foot the bill.
Barbara repeatedly chided Glenn for 'not checking facts' before he goes on the air. If Barbara would have spent a couple of minutes investigating the matter, she would have realized that Glenn had already covered 'who said hi to who first-gate' scandal and settled it. Apparently, Barbara doesn't hold herself to her own journalistic standards. See the results of Stu's investigation...
So did Glenn make up the entire story about seats being reserved only after Barbara and Whoopie got on board the train? The email transcript proves otherwise. Notice that the first message was sent BEFORE the View hosts got on the train...
Glenn knew this wasn't going to be pretty -- but Glenn's interview on The View was even worse than anticipated, mostly because of the accusations that Glenn 'lied' about his encounter with Barbara and Whoopi on an Amtrak train down to the Correspondents dinner in DC.

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

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

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's extraordinary accusation that the Bush administration lied to Congress about the use of harsh interrogation techniques dramatically raised the stakes in the growing debate over the Bush administration's anti-terrorism policies even as it raised some questions about the speaker's credibility.
President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.
This week, thousands of people are getting stimulus checks in the mail. The problem is that a lot of them are dead.
No Country for Old People
There is so much is going on right now that I'm not even sure what to focus on anymore. Do you feel that way?
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.

The Obama administration is expected to expand its mortgage aid program on Thursday, announcing new measures that would help homeowners avoid a blemished credit record even if they don't qualify for other assistance.

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

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

'Simpsons' Cast Unveils Postal Stamps
Intelligence officials released documents this evening saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was briefed in September 2002 about the use of harsh interrogation tactics against al-Qaeda prisoners, seemingly contradicting her repeated statements over the past 18 months that she was never told that these techniques were actually being used.

You are not going to believe the latest in the green movement! Putting science in her rightful place may be a little more exciting than I thought. This is good stuff. When it makes -- when being green makes me talk about sugar, sugary treats like cake and icing, cake with icing, icing with icing, icing with M&Ms and icing, I'm in. But, of course, this is today about a greener sugar. Let me say it again. This is about a greener sugar, not even that green sprinkly sugar that they put on those huge clover cookies at St. Paddy's Day. Oh, cookies! This is about environmentalist sugar. These guys are now treading into Glenn Beck territory. I warn you, it could get ugly. Domino's sugar is now offering certified carbon-free sugar.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

Five members of the Chicago Climate Exchange advisory board are present or former top-ranking U.N. officials -- including one who received $1 million from a convicted South Korean lobbyist in the Oil for Food scandal.
The rising number of fat people was yesterday blamed for global warming.
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.

Al Gore's Current TV gives its take on Glenn Beck...
Damn the tea bags. A top adviser to President Barack Obama takes a dim view of last week's anti-tax "tea parties," promoted by organizers in the spirit of the Boston Tea Party.
Planned economy or planned destruction?
Obama got a smile, handshakes and even a gift from incendiary leftist leader Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and embraced overtures of new relations from isolated Cuban President Raul Castro.
Strong banks will be allowed to repay bail-out funds they received from the US government but only if such a move passes a test to determine whether it is in the national economic interest, a senior administration official has told the Financial Times.
A top National Rifle Association official said the Obama administration is using the increasingly violent drug cartels in Mexico as an excuse to push for reinstating the ban on assault weapons.
John McCain's top adviser from the presidential campaign urged fellow Republicans on Friday to warm up to gay rights and warned that the GOP risks becoming the "religious party" with its opposition to same-sex marriage.

Take a look behind the scenes of Glenn Beck's visit to the San Antonio Tea Party...
Tea Parties Across America
Glenn Beck: Don’t look at me... I didn’t do it! No way — I’m responsible for plenty, but not this. Now hold on-there’s no way you’re going to pin this on me. It wasn’t me that did it... It was you!
The audience were on their feet and cheering by the time 47 year-old Susan Boyle had finished singing.
Glenn and Stu go over some polling numbers as Glenn discusses his theory that this could be the beginning of the end for the 2 party political system in America. How did he get there?
A truly amazing piece of audio-- a CNN reporter (using that phrase very, very loosely) interviewing a man with his child, and seemingly personally offended that someone could actually criticize the government spending that's going on. She demonstrates her complete lack of understanding of history and instead reveals her in the tank for Obama views as she calls the protests 'anti-government', 'anti-CNN' and the best for last... 'it's not family viewing'. Huh?
Glenn is currently engrossed in a book by R.J. Pestritto that's titled 'American Progressivism' and co-edited with American historian William Atto. It takes a look a progressive ideas and then at several actual writings of notorious progressives like Wilson, TR, Dewey, and more. Want to get a better idea about what modern day progressives like Hillary Clinton believe? In a special series to Glenn's email newsletter, R.J. Pestritto (Shipley Professor of the American Constitution at Hillsdale College) explains this and more.

What the tea parties are REALLY about? It's about spending — too much spending, to be specific. The idea that a business is too big to fail is anti-American; we've always been for the underdog. More...
Whipped up by conservative commentators and bloggers, tens of thousands of protesters staged "tea parties" around the country Wednesday to tap into the collective angst stirred up by a bad economy, government spending and bailouts.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax "tea party" with his stance against the federal government and for states' rights.
Think the government is getting too big? Think that the federal government should be an agent for the states, not the other way around? Pro-life? Against illegal immigration? Good news for you, the black helicopters should be flying overhead very soon! This is an actual report from the Department of Homeland Security warning of 'rightwing extremist activity' on the rise. So what does the DHS consider to be extreme? Get the duct tape out, because your head will explode when reading this.
Governor Rick Perry of Texas drew praise from conservatives by doing something view politicians on either side of the aisle seem willing to do these days -- stand up for states rights and the Constitution. Governor Perry joined on the radio program this morning and talked 10th Amendment, Tea Parties and more.
Outside of my obvious pro-Fox News bias, ABC’s Jake Tapper seems to be doing most of the heavy lifting for the entire profession of journalism these days (along with a couple of others).
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?)
The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," saying the economic recession, the election of America's first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.
Tea Party organizers are poised for a possible backlash during their nationwide demonstrations on Tax Day, April 15.
More than a week after President Barack Obama's cold-blooded killing of a local couple, members of the American news media admitted Tuesday that they were still trying to find the best angle for covering the gruesome crime.
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.
Thousands of dolphins blocked the suspected Somali pirate ships when they were trying to attack Chinese merchant ships passing the Gulf of Aden, the China Radio International reported on Monday.
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.
Join Glenn Beck for a special luncheon during his visit to San Antonio for the Tea Party activities. Ticket proceeds from this luncheon will be used to cover the expenses of this effort — including the public rally at 6:00pm in the Alamo Plaza.
Apr. 13, 2009
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.
North Korea vowed Tuesday to bolster its nuclear deterrent and boycott six-party talks aimed at its denuclearization in protest of a U.N. Security Council statement condemning the country's recent rocket launch.

The police booking photo of alleged child killer Nour Hadid released Tuesday is an "insult against our religion," says Hadid's husband, Alaeddin.
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.

Glenn Beck's global warming PSA...
What do you think of first when you hear 'Exxon' or 'Wal-Mart' or 'CEO'? Probably not many positive phrases came to mind. Why is that? Why have we demonized the rich? Glenn answers in today’s Beck Talks.
States are raising taxes despite the 'stimulus'; New York is No. 1.
A Saudi judge has refused for a second time to annul a marriage between an 8-year-old girl and a 47-year-old man, a relative of the girl told CNN.

At the height of the U.S. housing boom, when building materials were in short supply, American construction companies used millions of pounds of Chinese-made drywall because it was abundant and cheap.
I watched Glenn Beck unveil his grass-roots organization, The 9.12 Project, on Fox News recently because Beck -- a talk radio host in the conservative independent camp -- has championed nine principles and 12 values he contends are the bedrock of American character and our democratic way of life.

FOX News’ Glenn Beck is putting himself right in the crosshairs of the big liberal media by doing something relatively unique – teaching history to his viewers.

Hillary Clinton said there would be days — and nights — like this. For the second time in four days and with less than three months in office, President Barack Obama has received the "3 a.m. phone call" that Clinton warned about.
As she walked from a post office, Talon Curtis thought she'd found one of those gimmicky sweepstakes offers on the ground that scream something like "$357,959.55" in big bold letters and "This is not a real check" in much smaller type. But just as she was about to do her part for a cleaner planet and deliver the paper from the parking lot to a trash can, she noticed it was a real cashier's check with a real signature.
A skeleton of a German man who shot and killed himself in a tree has been found by a hiker – nearly 30 years later.
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...

The judge is still deciding whether to find government lawyers in contempt of court, where they can each face a fine or imprisonment.
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.
A woman called 911 to report she didn't get as much shrimp as she wanted in her fried rice at a Texas restaurant.
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.
The nation should stop pouring billions into futuristic, super-expensive F-22 jet fighters, pull the plug on new presidential helicopters and put the money into systems U.S. soldiers can use against actual foes, Defense Secretary Robert Gates declared Monday.
Sheriff's deputies said a Texas woman started a brawl at a wake in Arkansas when she arrived with a beer can in her hand. The woman, 52, faces a third-degree domestic battery charges, as does another woman, 46, over the March 29 fight.

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.

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..

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?

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 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.

Remember the way this country was founded: Your rights come from God and you lend them to the government. If you can't do something, neither can they. So, why are they doing it anyway?
A UN panel of expert economists pressed Thursday for a new global currency reserve scheme to replace the volatile, dollar-based system and for coordinated steps by rich countries to stimulate their economies.
Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Thursday blamed the global economic crisis on “white people with blue eyes” and said it was wrong that black and indigenous people should pay for white people’s mistakes.
"If you just repeat something again and again that requires your young child to prepare for something in advance, that is not likely to be effective," Munakata said. "What would be more effective would be to somehow try to trigger this reactive function."
All natural 'green' baby swing!
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.

The Obama administration is proposing an extensive overhaul of financial regulations to increase oversight of such exotic instruments as credit default swaps that have been blamed for contributing to the worst financial crisis to hit the country in seven decades.
U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg told CNN’s Lou Dobbs Wednesday night that the United States would be turned into a “banana republic” by the Obama administration’s budget plan.
The parents of a British teen, who died suddenly two months ago, received a disturbing letter from the girl's high school saying she needs to improve her attendance or can't go to the prom, the Manchester Evening News reported.

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?
Mar. 24, 2009
Pointing with dismay to the AIG debacle, the nation's top economic officials argued Tuesday for unprecedented powers to regulate and even take over financial goliaths whose collapse could imperil the entire economy. President Barack Obama agreed and said he hoped "it doesn't take too long to convince Congress."
President takes no chances in his second prime-time news conference, reading a prepared statement from a massive TV screen, but it was no help during the question-and-answer session.
President, Dodd each collected more than $100,000...
With Mexico gripped by rampant drug violence, the United States on Tuesday announced steps to crack down on smuggling of narcotics, guns and money by gangs that threaten security on both sides of the border.

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!

If you didn't know where to look, you'd probably never find Islamberg, a private Muslim community in the woods of the western Catskills, 150 miles northwest of New York City.
Schenectady Police Chief Mark Chaires said, "This is unprecedented - all these officers getting in trouble at the same time for all these different reasons.
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.

The Obama administration's latest attempt to tackle the banking crisis and get loans flowing to families and businesses will create a new government entity, the Public-Private Investment Program, to help purchase as much as $1 trillion in toxic assets on banks' books.
Several speakers addressed the crowd, estimated by Orlando police and event organizers at 4,200, on a variety of topics, including gun rights, freedom of speech, the dangers of communism and, most prevalently, the economy, especially the Obama administration's bailout plan.
A group of Saudi clerics urged the kingdom's new information minister on Sunday to ban women from appearing on TV or in newspapers and magazines, making clear that the country's hardline religious establishment is skeptical of a new push toward moderation.

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.

Denouncing a "squandering of the people's money," lawmakers voted decisively Thursday to impose a 90 percent tax on millions of dollars in employee bonuses paid by troubled insurance giant AIG and other bailed-out companies. The House vote was 328-93. Similar legislation has been introduced in the Senate and President Barack Obama quickly signaled general support for the concept.
Investments of $750 billion could create a "Green New Deal" to revive the world economy and protect the environment, perhaps aided by a tax on oil, the head of the U.N. environment agency said on Thursday.

The Federal Reserve sharply stepped up its efforts to bolster the economy on Wednesday, announcing that it would pump an extra $1 trillion into the financial system by purchasing Treasury bonds and mortgage securities.
The U.S. teen birth rate rose for a second straight year in 2007 after a long decline and more babies were born to all mothers than even at the peak of the baby boom after World War Two, officials said on Wednesday.
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!

The Kremlin published its priorities Monday for an upcoming meeting of the G20, calling for the creation of a supranational reserve currency to be issued by international institutions as part of a reform of the global financial system.
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.
Former President George W. Bush says he won't criticize President Barack Obama because Obama "deserves my silence," and says he plans to write a book about the 12 toughest decisions he made in office. Bush's speech Tuesday at a luncheon in Calgary, Alberta was his first since leaving office.
The Obama administration will endorse a U.N. declaration calling for the worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality that then-President George W. Bush had refused to sign, The Associated Press has learned.
The outspoken U.N. General Assembly president on Tuesday accused the United States of demonizing Iran's president and criticized the International Criminal Court for issuing an arrest warrant for Sudan's leader on war crimes charges in Darfur.
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!
Here's the one thing: Apparently the person to usher in the change we were hoping for was actually John McCain.
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...

Glenn Beck's "We Surround Them, You Are Not Alone" 5pmET special, featuring a studio audience and viewing parties around the nation, was the top-rated show on cable news in the A25-54 demo last Friday, with 993,000 viewers. In fact it was the #1 show in that demo for the month of March.
The mosaic shows the faces of just some of the thousands of people who understand that our power may be limited as individuals but it’s limitless when we bond together. After all, one picture is just a picture, but thousands of them put together can make a powerful statement.
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.

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?
Glenn takes you behind-the-scenes of his “We Surround Them: You Are Not Alone” special, airing Friday at 5p ET.

President mounts defense of his economic blueprint, declaring national crisis is 'not as bad as we think'
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.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday rejected $555 million in federal stimulus money that would expand state unemployment benefits, saying the money would have required the state to keep funding the expanded benefits after the stimulus money ran out.
A San Francisco police union has accused former domestic terrorist William Ayers, co-founder of the Weather Underground, and his wife in a 1970 bombing that killed one sergeant, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

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.

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.

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.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is supporting legislation that will force the Federal Communications Commission to “promote diversity” on the airwaves – a move many see as a stealth effort to regulate conservative-dominated talk radio without bringing back the controversial Fairness Doctrine.

What is the recession survivor personality?
Mar. 6, 2009
I have a “great depression calculator” to see how far along we are to greatly being depressed which I had to update this morning because of the awful new job numbers. At some point I’ll do another post explaining it, but my fancy excel sheet says we’re 27.4% of the way to the depression. That’s of course, if everything starts turning around today. Fun times.
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.

Family and friends refused to give up the search for two NFL players and a third man missing four days in the Gulf of Mexico, enlisting private boats and planes to comb the waters off the Florida coast after the Coast Guard stopped its official search Tuesday.
If you're inclined to believe Igor Panarin, and the Kremlin wouldn't mind if you did, then President Barack Obama will order martial law this year, the U.S. will split into six rump-states before 2011, and Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order.
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'.

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

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?

Top budget chief says president will approve $410B spending bill full of pork, despite pledge to reject earmarks

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...
Looking to fund an ambitious healthcare program and put more money in the hands of the poor and the non-working, President Barack Obama wants wealthier Americans and businesses to pay nearly $1 trillion in higher taxes over the next decade.
Embattled bank giant and federal government reach an agreement in which the government will substantially increase its stake in the bank and in return will demand a boardroom shakeup.

A good Samaritan who helped push three people out of the path of a pickup truck before being struck and injured has gotten a strange reward for his good deed: A jaywalking ticket.
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.

President Barack Obama's first budget is seeking $634 billion over 10 years to radically change America’s healthcare system. But that’s likely to double to more than $1 trillion, administration officials concede, as Democrats seek to create a massive socialized medical bureaucracy.
The Democratic-controlled House pushed through a $410 billion measure Wednesday that boosted domestic programs, bristled with earmarks and chipped away at policies left behind by the Bush administration.
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.
Sen. Barbara Boxer is pushing the Obama administration to move forward with ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, a controversial treaty that has never gained much support in the U.S.

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.
Republican leaders continued their attacks on President Barack Obama's handling of the economy Tuesday, calling it irresponsible and certain to increase taxes and federal debt.
For the first time since Gallup began tracking Barack Obama's presidential job approval rating on Jan. 21, fewer than 60% of Americans approve of the job he is doing as president. In Feb. 21-23 polling, 59% of Americans give Obama a positive review, while 25% say they disapprove, and 16% have no opinion.
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...
President Barack Obama's ambitious goal of cutting the federal deficit in half relies on a perfect - some might say improbable - convergence of factors: a recovered economy, a tax boost for the rich and success in easing foreign entanglements.
House Democrats unveiled a $410 billion spending bill on Monday to keep the government running through the end of the fiscal year, setting up the second political struggle over federal funds in less than a month with Republicans.
The leader of the U.S. House of Representatives said on Monday lawmakers expect to begin debating legislation this week that would let judges erase some mortgage debt for borrowers who file for bankruptcy.
The world needs a "global New Deal" to haul it out of the economic crisis it faces, Prime Minister Gordon Brown of the United Kingdom said Sunday.
Police in Baltimore today made what is believed to be the first arrest in a civil disobedience program aimed at supporting homeowners who refuse to vacate their foreclosed homes.
