George Soros
Remember when Rosie O'Donnell kept shouting down Elisabeth with her annoyingly loud retorts of 'who are the real terrorists---we've killed 650,000 Iraqi civilians'. It's the number that most of the liberal media loved to quote, so they could illustrate just how bad and evil the United States is. Unfortunately for them, that report was completely inaccurate (less people died in the Civil War, America's bloodiest conflict). Now we know why it was inaccurate--the report's authors and its main source of funding were all anti-war Bush haters. The authors only did the report under the condition it would be released just before the 2006 mid term elections---and the main source of funding for the study? Liberal activist billionaire George Soros. Read more. (Insiders listen here).
Jeff from Philadelphia
Jeff made the cardinal sin for talk radio listeners by calling before having ever listened to the show. Glenn warned Jeff that he would sound stupid if he continued because he hadn't listened to the show before. Jeff chose to continue. Jeff proceeded to sound stupid. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).
Banks go Bust
Glenn doesn't enjoy the 'see, I told you so' role when it comes to the banking industry, but unfortunately Glenn's predictions of bad economic news are coming to fruition. Citigroup plans to announce a writedown of as much as $24 billion and layoffs that could total as much as 24,000 due to subprime and credit-related losses. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here to the doom and gloom).
