Glenn agrees with Obama...again!

June 16, 2011

Writer

The unlikeliest of all unlikelies happened as Glenn has agreed with President Obama yet again. This time, it was White House Press Secretary Jay Carney's response to questions about the hypocrisy over Mr. 'no lobbyist' Obama giving more than 200 donors cushy government gigs.

Jay Carney told reporters, "Now, the people we have appointed, the president has appointed to key positions all have sterling academic credentials, years of public service, in the private sector, and they are imminently qualified - to which they were appointed.  And I would make the point here that having enacted these ethical, high ethical standards, the highest in history and having pursued and delivered on a level of transparency that is unprecedented. It is important to note that being a supporter does not qualify you for a job or guarantee you a job, but it does not disqualify you obviously."

But one intrepid reporter asked, "And how does that square with what the president said in his announcement speech in 2007.  He said the Senate and the lobbyists and the special interests have turned our government into a game only they can afford to play.  They get the access while you get to write the letter.  He said the time for those politics is over."

"You were asking me about supporters of the president who may have been donors who have gotten positions, and I would point out to the fact that those, the people who got those positions got them because of their credentials.  They also happen to be donors and in some cases there are obviously numerous and far more ‑‑ far many more cases of people who weren't donors who were appointed to jobs," he responded.

"We learn that it's just an amazing coincidence that the most qualified people also happened to be the biggest donors," Pat joked.

But Glenn could see what Carney was saying. After all, the janitor at the White House probably wasn't a big donor.

And maybe Jay Carney wasn't a donor. In fact, maybe they could give Carney's job away to a donor! "I'd rather have the paper cartoon mouse than some of the people that are working at the White House," Glenn joked.

'It's a death by a thousand cuts': Jordan Peterson on why staying silent is WORSE than facing the woke mob

Canadian clinical psychologist, author, and cultural firebrand Jordan Peterson is no stranger to cancel culture. Ever since he was thrust into the culture war, he has faced one controversy after another, stirred up by the woke elites who hate him with a passion. But although they have tried to make him pay for speaking out so fearlessly against their message, he refuses to back down and he believes you should, too. He joined "The Glenn Beck Podcast" this week to explain why.

"There is a growth of the reluctant hero in all stories ... so many people think that they don't have what it takes, that they're not the hero," Glenn said to Peterson. "How do you get people to recognize and then have the courage to stand? You've taken a beating ... why is it worth it and how do you get there?"

"I think it's worth it because I believe the alternative is worse ... to stay silent when you have something to say," Peterson replied. "You don't know what it is within you that requires your voice, right, because you feel like 'I have something to say.' Where does that come from exactly, that feeling that you have something to say?

"Maybe you're disgruntled at work and you're choking on your own bile because the situation is not just in your estimation," he continued. "You're dying to say something, but you won't. Well, you'll die if you don't say it. Maybe it's a death by a thousand cuts. I don't like deferred punishment. I'd rather take it now and keep the future clean, which is why I encourage people to have the fights now, not to hide things in the fog for later. They grow and metastasize. It's better to confront what you need to confront when it's small and you have some possibility of victory."

Bank of America warns of HYPERINFLATION 'at the very LEAST'

Top officials at the Federal Reserve are doing what they can to sugar coat what's ahead for our economy, telling Americans we may hit a "transitory" period of inflation that will settle by 2022. But Bank of America is saying something different. The bank's latest earnings call commentary warned "at the very least" transitory hyperinflation is ahead.

Watch the video clip below to hear Glenn Beck explain what this means for prices and for our economy.

WATCH: Race-Baiters Be Damned: 3 Big Lies About Racism DEBUNKED

Straight from the Marxist con of critical race theory are three big lies about "systemic racism" in America that are debilitating to our nation: the lie that policing in the U.S. is thoroughly racist, the lie of voter suppression, and the lie of equity as the solution to solve "racism." Despite the evidence disproving these lies, they grow stronger, thanks to Democrats and activists with selfish interest in these narratives, who, along with their media partners, spread the sinister message that everything in America is racist by default and only massive government intervention can save us from ourselves. President Biden, Vice President Harris, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi – every Democrat on the national stage sees racism in literally everything at this point.

In this precarious time for America, Glenn Beck and North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson join together with data and the truth to fight back against the race-baiters ripping us apart.

WARNING from a survivor: Is China’s horrific past America’s terrifying future?

America has always been the land of the free. But as the line fades between the socialist, woke Left, and the Democratic Party that controls our government, are we diving headfirst into Marxism?

On his BlazeTV exclusive show, Glenn Beck spoke with Li Schoolland, who grew up under Mao's cultural revolution in China, and never did she think she would see the same warning signs in America. But now, she has a horrifying warning for us all.
