He's more than just a billionaire--he's a real American hero. John Huntsman started the Huntsman Cancer Institute after going through cancer treatment himself and thinking 'I can do this better'. The result of his vision was a truly out of the ordinary place for those suffering with cancer. In one of the most inspiring interviews you will ever hear, Glenn's conversation with Huntsman provided a window into a truly pure soul. Although he has tons of money---Huntsman is not giving out of abundance, he's giving because that's who he is. He once gave a family $50 a month to help make ends meet---while he was making just over $300 a month. After seeing a very wealthy colleague who didn't donate much money die, Huntsman had another thought occur to him: There wasn't a dollar in the casket this guy could take with him. From that moment on, he has vowed to die broke and give away every penny of his fortune before he passes on. Huntsman's kindness and overwhelming charitable giving has inspired Glenn so much that he wants to emulate Mr. Huntsman in every way. After listening to this interview, you will want to do the same.

Juan McCain debates!
Senator Juan McCain got into a series of heated clashes with Governor Mitt Romney last night at the CNN debate held at the Reagan Library. Pat Gray was filling in for Glenn (who was at home recovering) and highlighted how Romney just completely owned McCain in all of the exchanges between the two. McCain at one point said he wouldn't vote for 'McCain/Kennedy', an immigration bill that he created. Yet, for some reason, everyone is backing Mr. 'Mexico first' Juan McCain. This McCain surge is so disturbing that Glenn couldn't resist calling in to vent his frustrations with the whole situation to his friend and fill in host Pat Gray. Insiders listen here.
