Glenn responds to Hank Williams, Jr. "controversy" by calling out media hypocrisy

October 04, 2011

Writer

Glenn opened the show this morning with a new theme, claiming that the composer had made some kind of Mussolini reference. And after a mellow little diddy (editor's note: yes, I just wrote diddy), Glenn blared the Monday Night Football theme which was banned last night following Hank Williams, Jr.'s Hitler analogy - not comparison.

During an interview on Fox and Friends, Williams said that the Obama/Boehner golf game was a clear political game because it would be like "Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu."

"Hitler would not golf with Netanyahu and Netanyahu wouldn't have golfed with Hitler because they're polar opposites. What he's saying here is Boehner was supposed to be a polar opposite to Barack Obama but they get together and play golf," Glenn explained.

Hank Williams, Jr. did not equate Obama and Hitler.

Glenn then went after the hypocrisy of the media, sarcastically asking where the outrage was for The Producers musical number "Springtime for Hitler". He then got serious when talking about the Wall Street protestors, some of which have signs calling bankers "Hitler".

Stu also got angry, saying that every adult knows that the media is unfairly attacking Williams to generate headlines. Stu read off a list of analogies, Black is to White as up is to down, quiet is to sound as darkness is to sunlight, to prove that calling it a comparison is inaccurate. "Does that mean you're comparing down to white?" Stu asked.

"I'm giving up Monday night football," Glenn declared.

"Because I know you didn't watch it before. But you're so committed," Pat joked.

"I'm going to continue not to watch Monday Night Football," Glenn finished.

Glenn Beck: Did you hear Biden's Great Reset WARNING SHOT to Banks?

It should come as no surprise that a newsworthy story receives more media coverage when released on a Monday than a Friday. The reason is in part due to a large number of news-consuming Americans checking out for the week to focus on their weekend plans rather than the news.

On Monday's radio program, Glenn Beck shared information that President Joe Biden decided to release on Friday — when fewer people would notice — regarding the Climate Finance report. This report is marketed to Americans as "A Roadmap To Build a Climate-Resilient Economy." But Glenn believes the report to be Biden's Great Reset warning shot to banks.

In this clip, Glenn warned that if Americans don't stand together, in eight years we all indeed will own nothing. Watch the clip for the full story. Can't watch? Download the podcast here.

Bill O'Reilly: Mark Zuckerberg spent $419.5 million to influence the 2020 election

On today's radio program, Glenn Beck was joined by Bill O'Reilly to discuss the top stories of the week.

For O'Reilly, the biggest story this week centered around someone mysteriously missing from mainstream media news reports today: Mark Zuckerberg. Specifically, O'Reilly said it's the 'scandalous' way the Facebook CEO spent nearly $420 million to influence the 2020 election — and did so successfully.

INSANITY: High schooler ARRESTED after not wearing mask at school tells her story

On Thursday's radio program, Grace Smith and her father, Andy, joined Glenn Beck on the phone and provided a first-hand account of Grace's refusal to wear a mask at school.

Smith, 16, began a maskless protest after her school district in Laramie, Wyoming, decided to implement a mask mandate. As a result, Grace received three suspensions, was issued two $500-citations, and was eventually arrested.

"How long were you in jail?" Glenn asked.

Grace said was taken to jail but was never booked nor was she was placed in a jail cell.

Glenn commended Grace's father, Andy, for raising such a "great citizen" and asked if it was Grace's idea to protest. Andy said it was Grace's idea, explaining that they took the position of arguing on the grounds of civil rights rather than the efficacy of wearing a mask.

Grace has since withdrawn from public school and started a home school program. She also told Glenn that she will continue to fight the school district, legally.

WATCH: The DIVIDED States of America: Is It Time for a National Divorce?

It seems the Left wants a civil war and some on the Right want a national divorce. The country is split right now unlike anything Glenn Beck has ever witnessed. There are two sides: Those who want to fundamentally change this country and those who believe in KEEPING the experiment of liberty that the Founding Founders intended.

The ideological gap seems impossible to cross, but Glenn explains why he won't secede. David Reaboi, Claremont Institute senior fellow and author of "National Divorce Is Expensive, but It's Worth Every Penny," tells Glenn why a national breakup is not an impossibility just because it will be difficult.

What can we do to fight back … peacefully? How can the states that still believe in the Constitution create pockets of freedom in the shadow of tyranny? On his Wednesday night special this week, Glenn answers that and provides a road map to preserving what the Left is trying to destroy.

Finally, James Simpson, author of "Who Was Karl Marx? The Men, the Motives and the Menace Behind Today's Rampaging American Left," provides solutions on the issues the "red states" must unite around before Left and Right America officially call it quits.
