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

March 23, 2011

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.

Elon Musk easily TRIGGERS Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales with 5-word tweet amid recession definition feud

After the U.S. posted two straight quarters of negative GDP growth, the Biden administration conveniently decided to change the conventional (though not "technical," according to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen) definition of "recession." Recent changes to the “recession” page on Wikipedia now have people wondering if the online encyclopedia has conveniently changed the conventional definition of "objective."

After a revision war erupted on Wikipedia's “recession” page, administrators locked the page from any further edits. Some people on Twitter seemed to find the newly un-editable version suspiciously favorable to Democrats.

That's when Elon Musk jumped into the fray. "Wikipedia is losing its objectivity," Musk tweeted and tagged Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales.

Wales responded by inviting Musk to call him for a "real discussion," but only after saying "Reading too much Twitter nonsense is making you stupid."

On "The Glenn Beck Program," Glenn said he thinks the left would do anything to win an argument or to justify its radical policy positions, including alter our language. In the video clip below, Glenn details how those on the left have recently manipulated the meanings of at least seven words just to rationalize their out-of-touch political ideas.

Pro-Palestine LGBTQ+ Americans SHOCKED to hear what Palestinians think about THEM

It's amazing to see just how strongly many LGBT+ Americans are allied with Palestine in the Israel-Palestine conflict because the Palestinians aren't exactly pro-LGBTQ.

Documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz decided to go into the West Bank to ask people on the streets of the Palestinian territories to explain their views firsthand. What he discovered was a shocking and even violent intolerance for the LGBT+ community.

Ami joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to share a sample of his eye-opening footage and the stunning reactions he received from pro-Palestinian (and vehemently anti-Isreal) LGBT+ Americans.

Media suddenly remembers how WALLS work after Biden agrees to complete part of Trump’s border wall

On direct orders from President Joe Biden, the Department of Homeland Security has released 79,652 migrants into the United States in just the last month after they were detained for illegally crossing the southern border. This brings the total number of illegals that have been caught and released into the United States on Biden's watch to 1.335 million people.

"At this pace, the ones that we catch and release — not the ones that we didn't catch — [will total] 3.5 million illegal immigrants in the United States in [Biden's] first term," said Glenn Beck on the radio program.


Biden’s border crisis is getting EVEN WORSE | #shortsyoutu.be

Perhaps these shocking statistics had something to do with the Biden administration's quiet approval of a plan to complete a portion of former President Donald Trump's border wall in southern Arizona.

On Thursday, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas authorized the completion of the U.S.- Mexico border wall in Arizona’s "Yuma Sector," despite Biden's oft-repeated promise that "not another foot" of Trump's wall would be constructed while he is president.

A Department of Homeland Security announcement cited "immediate life and safety risks" for migrants attempting to cross into the United States illegally as well as the first responders and agents working in the area "where there is a risk of drownings and injuries from falls."

Interestingly, mainstream media outlets seem to have suddenly seen the light when it comes to the actual function of a wall. Yes, walls provide security and help keep people safe. Biden's border walls "will better protect migrants who can get hurt slipping down a slope or drown walking through a low section of the Colorado River," according to NBC News.

But people on social media noticed more than a slight discrepancy in the way news about the border wall was framed under President Trump.

In 2020, NBC News said "President Trump's border wall endangered ecosystems and sacred sites." But on Friday, they said closing the gaps in the wall "won’t be much of a deterrent," according to Arizona environmentalist Myles Traphagen who has been "mapping ecological damage left by border wall construction" under former President Trump.

"Biden had pledged during his campaign to cease all future wall construction, but the administration later agreed to some barriers, citing safety," AP News reported.

"In addition to posing 'safety and life hazard risks for migrants,' the [D]epartment [of Homeland Security] said the gaps in the wall presented 'life and safety' risks to first responders in the area," reported CNN.

"Completion of the wall was at the top of former President Donald Trump’s agenda, and border security remains a potent issue for candidates of both parties going into this year’s primary elections. President Joe Biden halted new wall construction after he took office, but he has since made closing the gaps just south of Yuma a priority," said NBC News.

Glenn Beck debunks CNN’s trash piece on 'White Christian nationalists' — and he brings RECEIPTS

Earlier this week, CNN wrote an ugly, baseless trash piece titled “An 'imposter Christianity' is threatening American democracy” that argued American Christianity is being overrun by radical "white Christian nationalists" and supported that premise with far-left thinkers and biased New York Times best-sellers.

BlazeTV's Glenn Beck said the article was so bad, it made his "eyes bleed." So, on the radio program Thursday, Glenn debunked it all in an epic takedown of CNN's lies — and he brought all the facts from history that prove "everything CNN is contending here is wrong."
