What could Glenn never say on cable news? A takedown of the progressive wing of the GOP establishment

December 13, 2011

Writer

So it seems like Glenn has stirred up a little bit of a controversy among the GOP-leaning blogosphere because he is making conservatives question their excitement for Newt Gingrich. But rather than go on the air and apologize for asking tough questions, Glenn decided to do a monologue that he couldn't do on cable news that takes the GOP establishment head on. What'd he have to say?

First, watch Glenn lay out his confusion. He doesn't understand why such a large percentage of the Tea Party sees Newt Gingrich as an acceptable candidate, and he doesn't believe that "he's not Barack Obama" is an acceptable excuse. Since his speech at CPAC in 2010, he's been saying that progressives are in the GOP and that those that openly embrace Theodore Roosevelt (coughNewtcough) are ultimately as big of a threat to America as the current President.

Watch Part 1 of the segment below to see Glenn respond to recent attacks and lay out the origins of GOP progressivism:

Don't believe that progressives exist on both sides of the aisle? Glenn explains why we "need to get over" the belief that the GOP isn't full of progressives. Glenn dives into progressives on both sides and then begins to ask why the Tea Party is so eager to back Newt Gingrich now. Also, Glenn plays a video, put together by a leftist group, that shows how much Newt falls in line with the progressive and liberal agenda - guaranteeing that no matter how he does against the GOP candidates he'll have a hard time defeating Barack Obama and even if he did, it may not be a big change from the current big government policies in Washington, DC now.

Finally, Glenn takes on the myth that Gingrich is the only candidate running who can beat Obama. He encourages people not to sell out their values so early in the process as Obama is such a bad President that almost any candidate has a shot at winning - Glenn joked that his shoe would have a shot at beating Obama (and would probably do a better job). Newt isn't the only answer, and many candidates come with a lot less baggage and stronger conservative credentials.

So what are Tea Party voters need to do? Glenn lays out a solution in the clip below:

 

 

 

BOOK BURNING? WaPo op-ed targets 'problematic' books

On the radio program Monday, Glenn Beck, Pat Gray, and Stu Burguiere reacted to a recent Washington Post op-ed in which the author, Ron Charles, suggests that "as Confederate statues finally tumble across America, [and] television networks are marching through their catalogues looking to take down racially offensive content," perhaps the next items that should be up on the cancel-culture chopping block are "problematic books."

"Monuments celebrating racist traitors, which were erected to fabricate history and terrify black Americans, are not works of art that deserve our respect or preservation. Similarly, scenes of modern-day white comedians reenacting minstrel-show caricatures are not ironical interrogations of racism that we have to stomach any longer. But complex works of literature are large, they contain multitudes," Charles wrote.

He goes on to argue that "calibrating our Racism Detector to spot only a few obvious sins" is but an insidious source of self-satisfaction when compared to the process of critical debate on the values and intentions of history's literary legends.

"If cancel culture has a weakness, it's that it risks short-circuiting the process of critical engagement that leads to our enlightenment," Charles wrote. "Scanning videos for blackface or searching text files for the n-word is so much easier than contending with, say, the systemic tokenism of TV rom-coms or the unbearable whiteness of Jane Austen."

Could cancel culture really spiral all the way down to book burning? In the clip below, Glenn, Pat, and Stu agreed that this radical progressive movement is really about erasing America's history and overturning the foundation of our country. The fundamental transformation of America is happening now.

A BIG SHOW IN A SMALL TOWN: Local paper highlights 'RESTORING HOPE' event at 'Standing Rock Ranch'

"Restoring Hope" has been a labor of love for Glenn and his team and tonight is the night! "Restoring the Covenant" was supposed to take place in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Gettysburg and Washington D.C. but thanks to COVID-19, that plan had to be scrapped. "Restoring Hope" is what was left after having to scrap nearly two years of planning. The Herald Journal in Idaho detailed what the event was supposed to be and what it turned into. Check out the article below to get all the details.

Glenn Beck discusses patriotic, religious program filmed at Idaho ranch

On July 2, commentator Glenn Beck and his partners will issue a challenge from Beck's corner of Franklin County to anyone who will listen: "Learn the truth, commit to the truth, then act on the truth."

Over the last few weeks, he has brought about 1,000 people to his ranch to record different portions of the program that accompanies the challenge. On June 19, about 400 members of the Millennial Choir and Orchestra met at West Side High School before boarding WSSD buses to travel to a still spring-green section of Beck's ranch to record their portion of the program.

WATCH: '1619 Project' EXPOSED: The agenda to tear down America

The current riots and movement to erase America's history are exactly in line with the New York Times' "1619 Project," which argues that America was rotten at its beginning, and that slavery and systemic racism are the roots of everything from capitalism to our lack of universal health care.

On this week's Wednesday night special, Glenn Beck exposed the true intent of the "1619 Project" and its creator, who justifies remaking America into a Marxist society. This clever lie is disguised as history, and it has already infiltrated our schools.

"The '1619 Project' desperately wants to pass itself off as legitimate history, but it totally kneecaps itself by ignoring so much of the American story. There's no mention of any black Americans who succeeded in spite of slavery, due to the free market capitalist system. In the 1619 Project's effort to take down America, black success stories are not allowed. Because they don't fit with the narrative. The role of white Americans in abolishing slavery doesn't fit the narrative either," Glenn said.

"The agenda is not ultimately about history," he added. "It's just yet another vehicle in the fleet now driven by elites in America toward socialism."
