The identity politics of Jeb Bush

June 16, 2015
 Wilson

Writer

Did you know that Jeb Bush didn’t officially announce his campaign until this week? Yeah, we were surprised too. It seems like he’s been running for months, but he OFFICIALLY made the announcement on Monday afternoon, and what an announcement it was. If you want to get a sense of the kind of things that matter to Jeb, look no further than the supporters in the audience.

"I'm so tired of the identity politics. And what does Jeb Bush do yesterday? He announces through identity politics," Glenn said.

Glenn then played audio from Jeb's announcement, including supporters who had some unusual words of praise for the candidate.

"I like Jeb because I consider him an honest person. An honest man. A family man. Even though he's American, he's married to a Latina," said one.

"He has been governor of Florida. I am pro immigration reform. I'm very socially liberal. I think that Jeb is closest to that, you know, from what I can see," said another.

"I normally vote for Barack Obama, but I'm going to vote for Jeb because I think he's as socially liberal as I am," Glenn joked after hearing a few more.

Sen. Ted Cruz: NOBODY should be afraid of Trump's Supreme Court justice pick

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Wednesday to weigh in on President Donald Trump's potential Supreme Court nominees and talk about his timely new book, "One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History."

Sen. Cruz argued that, while Congressional Democrats are outraged over President Trump's chance at a third court appointment, no one on either side should be afraid of a Supreme Court justice being appointed if it's done according to the founding documents. That's why it's crucial that the GOP fills the vacant seat with a true constitutionalist.

WATCH: Sen. Mike Lee reveals his preference for Supreme Court nominee

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Wednesday to talk about why he believes President Donald Trump will nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death.

Lee, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that will consider and vote on the nominee, also weighed in on another Supreme Court contender: Judge Barbara Lagoa. Lee said he would not be comfortable confirming Lagoa without learning more about her history as it pertains to upholding the U.S. Constitution.

Vox co-founder Matthew Yglesias: America doesn't do GREAT things by fighting amongst ourselves

This week on the Glenn Beck Podcast, Glenn spoke with Vox co-founder Matthew Yglesias about his new book, "One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger."

Matthew and Glenn agree that, while conservatives and liberals may disagree on a lot, we're not as far apart as some make it seem. If we truly want America to continue doing great things, we must spend less time fighting amongst ourselves.

Watch a clip from the full interview with Matthew Yglesias below:

'A convenient boogeyman for misinformation artists': Why is the New York Times defending George Soros?

On the "Glenn Beck Radio Program" Tuesday, Glenn discussed the details of a recent New York Times article that claims left-wing billionaire financier George Soros "has become a convenient boogeyman for misinformation artists who have falsely claimed that he funds spontaneous Black Lives Matter protests as well as antifa, the decentralized and largely online, far-left activist network that opposes President Trump."

The Times article followed last week's bizarre Fox News segment in which former House Speaker Newt Gingrich appeared to be censored for criticizing Soros (read more here). The article also labeled Glenn a "conspiracy theorist" for his tweet supporting Gingrich.
