SNL fails to see Greece/'Occupy' parallels in a pretty funny sketch

November 07, 2011

The Greek economy is so bad (How bad is it?) The Greek economy is so bad that even the usually left leaning Saturday Night Live is calling out the people of Greece for being lazy but at the same time demanding vacations, pensions and more! But did they miss some parallels between what is happening in Greece and what is happening just a few miles away from 30 Rock in NYC?

Watch the video below:

In the clip, Jason Sudeikis, playing Zeus, said, “I, Zeus, king of the gods have summoned you all to Mount Olympus because somehow the Greek economy has collapsed. I know. No, I know. I was as surprised as you are. I mean, after all, the Greeks are widely known as a hardworking, industrious people. You know, people willing to labor week in and week out, three days a week, one hour a day until the age of 45. But today we gods must come to their aid.”

“They are joking about it a little bit, but that really kind of sums up the problem, doesn't it?” Pat said.

“But that's Greece. That has nothing to do with here,” Glenn said.

“All we're asking for is free education here. All we're asking for is free healthcare here. All we're asking for is equalizing everybody. So, you know, even though that guy might work 80 hours a week, I get the same thing if I'm not working at all. That's not Greece. They're making fun of Greece, sure, but I don't see where you're tying it in to America. I mean, they don't even see it,” Glenn joked.

DEBUNKED: Eight times the MSM got the facts about Trump COMPLETELY WRONG

How many times must the corporate media get something completely wrong — and attack anyone who dares to disagree — before we realize who they have become?

On the radio program Friday, Glenn Beck shared an article from the Daily Caller titled, "Eight Anti-Trump Narratives the Media Finally Had to Admit Were False All Along." From the Lafayette Square controversy to the denial that COVID-19 could have anything to do with a lab in China to the "Russian bounties" story, the list of mainstream media conspiracy theories goes on and on. If it were anyone but the liberal media who got the facts this embarrassingly wrong, they would have been out of a job long ago.

Watch the video clip below to hear eight of the most anti-Trump the narratives shamelessly pushed by the media — that were completely wrong.

Glenn Beck rips into Obama: YOU planted America's Marxist seeds

Former President Barack Obama sat down with CNN's Anderson Cooper recently for an interview scheduled to air in full on Friday. During the interview, Obama scoffed at the idea that critical race theory could be a "threat to our Republic," while claiming that "right-wing media venues" are "stoking the fear and resentment of a white population."

On the radio program Wednesday, Glenn Beck set the record straight: the right-wing media's efforts to call out the far-left have nothing to do with race in America, but rather everything to do with protecting our way of life that is being threatened more and more each day by the radical, Marxist ideology seeping into government.

"Mr. Obama, you lied," Glenn asserted. "You used the IRS to hunt down your enemy. You spied on the media. And your health care package, which was supposed to save every American $3,000 per year, has helped some, perhaps, while raising the cost of everyone's health care in double and triple percentages. But the worst thing that you did, is you planted, you watered, and you protected the Marxist seeds, by crying race."

Biden's Hostile Takeover: The Great Reset of America

Our sacred republic has never been in more danger than it is today. Little by little, industry by industry, the far Left is fundamentally transforming the country we love. And it's an aggressive, hostile kind of takeover we've only seen in some of the world's darkest societies.

On Glenn TV this week, Glenn Beck exposes how the Biden administration and Democrats are aggressively scrambling to reset everything: our free and fair voting system, our kids' education, our policing, immigration and border security, our economy, our military, and our energy supply.

Finally, Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) joins to discuss how Biden's "woke" policies are threatening America's national security and our way of life.

Oil & Gas firm CEO behind EPIC North Face troll: In a 'woke' world, TRUTH about fossil fuels is 'controversial'

Apparel company The North Face recently stated that it would no longer make jackets for oil and gas companies because it doesn't want to be associated with the fossil fuel industry. In response, Colorado-based oil and gas company Liberty Oilfield Services rented full billboard ads to remind The North Face of the truth: "Globally, 60% of all clothing fibers are made out of oil and gas. For North Face, it is likely 90% or more."

Liberty CEO Chris Wright joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday to discuss just how much of our economy — beyond outdoor apparel and energy — wouldn't exist in a world without fossil fuels. And he warns that many companies are now deeming this truth to be "controversial."

"I have been for years, trying to get a real, honest dialogue about energy going," Chris told Glenn. "So we took this opportunity to point out that North Face jackets are ... almost completely made out of oil and gas. How can you choose not to associate with the essential material your equipment [is] made out of? So we put a billboard up ... the billboard says, 'That North Face puffer looks good on you. And it was made from fossil fuels.'"

"Most billboard companies did not want to run that billboard. They thought it was controversial," he added. "And Facebook put a hold on our brief video just saying the jacket looks good, this is what it's made out of. In today's world, that is controversial."
