The Most Dangerous Conservative in American Politics Rocks Red Shorts

July 20, 2017
 Staff

WRITER

Both Hillary Clinton's and Donald Trump's approval ratings are in the tank. Is there anyone on the horizon with true conservative principles that could win the presidency?

"I will tell you somebody who is playing it really, really brilliantly, who is acting like a president and who is not plastic . . . it's Ben Sasse," Glenn said Thursday on radio.

Sasse’s book The Vanishing American Adult is about family, not policy --- a refreshing change from a politician.

“That guy is positioning himself to be a guy that could be trusted for both sides,” Glenn said.

Sasse has an affable personality, a killer Twitter game and snazzy red shorts.

“He's young. He seems to gauge well on social media. He's funny. He's engaging. I mean, he's really smart,” Co-host Stu Burguiere said.

GLENN:  Hello, welcome to the program.

I want to talk a little about some poll numbers here.  I saw a poll that, you know, Barack -- I mean, sorry.  Donald Trump's, you know, positive rating is, what?  43 percent now.  And they're saying that's horrible and awful.  And it is.

PAT:  Well, the latest one was 36 percent.  But...

STU:  The average is around 39.

PAT:  Yeah, the average is 38 or 39.

GLENN:  Okay.  So I saw one that was Donald Trump, 43.  Hillary Clinton, 39.  So have you guys -- has anybody heard anybody mention that Hillary Clinton is polling around the same as Donald Trump?  And she hasn't done anything.

Remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

STU:  Yeah, Bush's approval rating, he left with around 30 percent, and it's up around 50 right now.  That's usually what happens.

GLENN:  And she was -- her whole campaign strategy was shut her up.  Don't let her talk.  And she won't hurt herself.

And her approval rating was supposed to go up, just by making her go away.  She's at 39 percent.

So for the high and mighty Democrats, we're both screwed, guys.  Both sides are screwed.

Who do you have -- who does America have that you can pull out and say, here's the next president?

I will tell you somebody who is playing it really, really brilliantly, who is acting like a president and who is not plastic -- in fact, I've read his book.  And it's the first book that I've read from a politician, where he actually wrote it.  And it's not about policy.  It's about family and everything else.  Ben Sasse.

STU:  Yeah.

GLENN:  I mean, that guy is positioning himself to be a guy that could be trusted for both sides.  Now, whether anybody wants a nice guy, I don't know.

STU:  And I think obviously Donald Trump is likely -- unless he decides to leave office himself, is going to be there for 2020.

GLENN:  Oh, yeah.  Yeah.  2024.

STU:  But Sasse is young.  Yeah.  I mean, he's young.  He seems to gauge well on social media.  He's funny.  He's engaging.  I mean, he's really smart.

GLENN:  Remember when he was on The Daily Show and he hit it out of the park?  And I believe when he left, they were talking, on The Daily Show going, "That is the most dangerous conservative out there."  Because he was so likable.

PAT:  Yeah.

Glenn Beck: Why MLK's pledge of NONVIOLENCE is the key to saving America

Listen to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s pledge of nonviolence and really let it sink in: "Remember always that the nonviolent movement seeks justice and reconciliation — not victory."

On the radio program, Glenn Beck shared King's "ten commandments" of nonviolence and the meaning behind the powerful words you may never have noticed before.

"People will say nonviolent resistance is a method of cowards. It is not. It takes more courage to stand there when people are threatening you," Glenn said. "You're not necessarily the one who is going to win. You may lose. But you are standing up with courage for the ideas that you espouse. And the minute you engage in the kind of activity that the other side is engaging in, you discredit the movement. You discredit everything we believe in."

Take MLK's words to heart, America. We must stand with courage, nonviolently, with love for all, and strive for peace and rule of law, not "winning."

Section 230 reform or antitrust laws  — how do we STOP Big Tech censorship?

Conservatives are between a rock and a hard place with Section 230 and Big Tech censorship. We don't want more government regulation, but have we moved beyond the ability of Section 230 reforms to rein in Big Tech's rising power?

Rachel Bovard, Conservative Partnership Institute's senior director of policy, joined the Glenn Beck radio program to give her thoughts and propose a possibly bipartisan alternative: enforcing our existing antitrust laws.

'You have no idea how bad this was': Dan Bongino details behind-the-scenes 'smear campaigns' against Parler

Dan Bongino, host of The Dan Bongino Show, is an investor in Parler — the social media platform that actually believes in free speech. Parler was attacked by Big Tech — namely Amazon, Apple, and Google — earlier this week, but Bongino says the company isn't giving up without a fight. In fact, he says, he's willing to go bankrupt over this one.

Dan joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to detail what he calls a "smear" campaign behind the scenes, and how he believes we can move forward from Big Tech's control.

"You have no idea how bad this was behind the scenes," Dan told Glenn. "I know you're probably thinking ... well, how much worse can the attack on Parler have gotten than three trillion-dollar companies — Amazon, Apple, and Google — all seemingly coordinated to remove your business from the face of the Earth? Well, behind the scenes, it's even worse. I mean, there are smear campaigns, pressure campaigns ... lawyers, bankers, everyone, to get this company ... wiped from the face of the earth. It's incredible."

Dan emphasized that he would not give up without a fight, because what's he's really fighting for is the right to free speech for all Americans, regardless of their political opinions, without fear of being banned, blacklisted, or losing jobs and businesses.

"I will go bankrupt. I will go absolutely destitute before I let this go," he said. "I have had some very scary moments in my life and they put horse blinders on me. I know what matters now. It's not money. It's not houses. It's none of that crap. It's this: the ability to exist in a free country, where you can express your ideas freely."

Biden's Cabinet Secrets: Marching Toward the Great Reset

Joe Biden's administration is getting ready for something historic, but we're all being distracted. And now that Biden has hired at least 14 former or current executives from Big Tech — experts at colluding to censor unflattering news about Biden — Americans must be laser-focused on what's coming.

On January 20, the most corrupt president in American history will be inaugurated, and it looks like some of his cabinet choices were picked specifically so everything just – poof – goes away. The administration nominees appear to be all about preserving corruption, crony capitalism, and executing a Great Reset. Those same people also have one more thing in common: Ukraine.

On his Wednesday night special this week, Glenn exposes their radical agenda in their own words and gives U.S. senators the questions they must ask before confirming corrupt nominees to some of the highest offices in the country.
