March Madness: Glenn's insight into the 2011 NCAA Tournament

March 23, 2011
 Wilson

Writer

When you think excellence in sports commentary, you think Glenn Beck. Alongside such extraordinary sportscasters as Bob Costas, Bryant Gumbel, and Greg Gumbel, Beck is known for his ability to communicate the action on the court with a quick wit and a deep understanding of the fundamentals of the game. While Glenn doesn’t like to show off his sports commentary skills, he made an exception this morning on radio to talk about the BYU basketball team’s adherence to principles and values while maintaining success in the NCAA Tournament.

“If we want to talk about sports, may I just do one thing here and then we'll get into the real show.  BYU, if this isn't the blessings of living by higher standards, I mean, everybody thought they would be out including me, and I know nothing,” Glenn said of BYU’s success in the NCAA Tournament so far.

Pat made sure to interject, saying, “I'm helping with this story because it's a sports story.”

“ Brandon Davies who was kicked off because he was having sex with his girlfriend which is against the standards of the, obviously the church.  It's a church‑run school,” Glenn said.

“So they kicked him off and he was the star player and there's very few, maybe Liberty University would do the same thing.  Very few universities that would actually hold to those standards,” Glenn said.

“I'll bet you the alumni associations gave more money because of that decision,” Beck said, noting the importance of adhering to values to alumni of the school.

“It was amazing.  But I did see reports earlier on from media saying, why would you do that?” Glenn said.“Because there is something called standards.  It's not about the game.  It's how you play the game.”

“And he signed the standards.  He knew what he was getting into,” Stu said.

“All students.  Not just athletes but all students, you sign the honor code,” Pat added.

Despite his admiration for the team, Glenn admitted he wasn’t sure exactly where they were in the tournament. “I'm worried about the destruction of the planet.  I'm sorry I'm not up on the little basketball game,” he joked.

Rescue UPDATE: Stranded Afghan interpreter who once helped rescue Biden has finally escaped — but not with Biden's help

An Afghan interpreter who helped save then-Sen. Joe Biden's life in 2008 was among those stranded in Afghanistan after Biden's troop withdrawal. He has now escaped the country with his family, but not with President Biden's help.

Thanks to private organizations, including The Nazarene Fund, the interpreter and his family have now been rescued.

Congressman: We have EVIDENCE that White House initiated 'excuse' for FBI crackdown on anti-CRT parents

A shocking new report by The Daily Wire reveals that the furious father whose arrest at a school board meeting likely sparked the call for the FBI to investigate anti-CRT parents like domestic terrorists was furious for good reasons: The Loudoun County School Board allegedly tried to cover up his daughter's rape.

Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday to discuss the incident and explain why he joined 60 lawmakers in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding answers for why the FBI is targeting parents.

"We want to know ... what kind of coordination took place between the White House, activist groups and teachers unions, and the Department of Justice," Stewart told Glenn. "Because we have evidence that there was [coordination] and, in fact, that the White House are the ones who initiated this. They asked for these activist groups to write this inflammatory letter to the Department of Justice saying they were 'intimidated' and that they 'felt threatened', giving the Department of Justice Attorney General Garland, the excuse to say, 'Okay, well, we have to respond'."

Stewart went on to say he believes the federal government would only involve the FBI in such an issue if its purpose is to silence and intimidate parents concerned about the "poison" being taught to their kids in school. So, what can he and the other representatives who disagree with the Biden administration's overreach of power do to stop it?

Glenn Beck: Taiwan is preparing for potential WAR with China — but will Biden do ANYTHING?

Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu is now warning that his nation is preparing for war with China after Beijing flew a record number of warplanes over Taiwanese territory. Wu reached out to another country for help, but it wasn't the United States.

In a video, Wu urged Australia to help prepare for a possible invasion, but gave the U.S. no mention.

"The defense of Taiwan is in our own hands, and we are absolutely committed to that. And if China is going to launch a war against Taiwan, we will fight until the end. And that is our commitment. And, of course, during this period of time, we would like to exchange with other countries for security cooperation," Wu said on ABC News In-depth's China Tonight program. "We would like to engage in security or intelligence exchanges with other like-minded partners, Australia included, so that Taiwan is better prepared to deal with the war situation. And so far, our relations with Australia is very good. And that is what we appreciate it for."

On "The Glenn Beck Program," Glenn, Pat Gray, and Stu Burguiere discussed whether or not America would do anything during such a conflict — because it sure seems like President Joe Biden is more focused on working with China to fight climate change. Plus, why did China just cut off all cryptocurrency?

'HARMFUL CONTENT': How King Biden Is KILLING the Constitution

On "Glenn TV" tonight, Glenn Beck heads to the chalkboard to reveal how the fundamental transformation of America has already begun by turning the Declaration of Independence upside down.

If Donald Trump was a dictator, then what do we call President Biden? In Biden's first nine months in office, he has already issued 64 executive orders – that's more than Trump, Obama, W. Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan each issued in their entire first years in office.

You never hear the Left talk about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights any more, unless it's to "reimagine" the Constitution or slap a "harmful content" warning on our founding documents. Seriously. The National Archives said while its website label wasn't targeting the Constitution specifically, "some of the materials presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive, and possibly violent views and opinions." The Left finds basic, guaranteed rights so offensive they now spend all of their time on workarounds to deal with America's annoying founding documents.

Watch the full episode of "Glenn TV" below to see Glenn outline the aggressive unconstitutional abuses "King Biden" is jamming down our throats and teaches Americans how we can defend against presidential tyranny.
