Glenn Beck: Libs hiding the homeless

July 17, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program


Dressing them in boxes; idea #423 on how to hide the homeless...

GLENN: By the way, Bush's approval rating has sunk to 28%, but it's tied with another low that he had back in April. So -- the real children in the race to the bottom is congress. 13% now approval rating for congress. Fantastic. 13%. How do these people get away with it? How does anybody think in congress that they can get away with it? How are they getting -- that's actually -- Stu, can you help me here? I mean, I'm not a political strategist. I'm just a thinker. I can't -- I mean, they are getting away with it.

STU: Yeah, the reason they think they can get away with it is because they think they can continue to get away with it.

GLENN: How, though?

STU: I mean, you know, I think you have a large amount of people that don't pay attention and they are targeted by, I don't want to say one of the parties, but one of the parties.

GLENN: This doesn't sound like a bipartisan --

STU: It's definitely not a bipartisan answer that I'm giving. This does come back to, you know, we can complain about drilling all I want but, I don't know. I do remember from 2000 to 2006 having a Republican President -- and again --

GLENN: And congress that didn't drill. They just spent money.

STU: Again you're right. There were forces that were stopping them. Not like they didn't want to, though.

GLENN: Now, come on, man, let's not -- Stu.

STU: Well, it's true.

GLENN: There were special interest forces that stopped them. They didn't do anything. They were spending money when they were running congress like Paris Hilton in a little dog store just going crazy all the time just spending every dime that we have. Now congress -- now, the Republicans had a spine and a backbone and they stepped to the plate and said enough. When are the Democrats going to do that? Is it going to take the Democratic President? Is that what it's going to do? I don't know if these people see who have taken over their party. I plead with American Democrats to get yourself out of the room with these extremists that your party said, no, no, no, we're using them. It's the other way around. They control you. They've been using you. And now they're in control. And you want proof? Look at Media Matters. Look at the Daily Kos. These people are not Democrats. They're socialists. They're Marxists. When people like Chris Matthews and Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton aren't liberal enough for you, you're in real trouble. They are taking and they're cannibalizing their own party because it's not their party. They are extreme left. And the good Democrats in America need to wake up. We've never been this country before, and it is really I think spooky. I think it's really spooky. And, you know, the Democrats are taking, here they are -- they are doing their big convention in Denver and they're again focusing on the green movement. Are you crazy? How are they getting away with it? They're focusing on the green movement? They are going to make this a green convention. You're out of your mind. At the same time -- I love this story -- Denver has given homeless movie tickets and zoo asses for use during the Democratic National Convention. Why? When the DNC is in town next month, Colorado coalition for homeless plans to give away 500 movie tickets, zoo passes and museum tickets along with bus tickets for the use during the convention. Why? Is there a big homeless problem where they can't go see the zoo? Is there -- I mean, I've never met a homeless person where they had a cup out and they said, I just really want to go to the zoo. Zoo tickets? Zoo tickets? Just enough for a zoo ticket? I've never seen a homeless person out begging for money. I just really want to see Mamma Mia. Mamma Mia, enough for Mamma Mia, please? Please, please, I haven't seen it -- I'm homeless. I haven't seen a good movie in I don't know how long! The only reason to do this is to get these people off the streets. These are the compassionate green people that say that we're so awful as conservatives, they don't want to see them. They don't want to look at them. They don't want to be around them. Send them to a zoo. Send them to a museum. Only the elitist Democrats would say, "You know what we could do to help. If we could just take a homeless person and get them a free pass to the art museum, wouldn't he just love that, lovie?

Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz: Dems have nothing impeachable or 'they would have done it already'

On the "Glenn Beck Radio Program" Monday, Harvard Law professor and lawyer on President Donald Trump's impeachment defense team Alan Dershowitz explains the history of impeachment and its process, why the framers did not include abuse of power as criteria for a Constitutional impeachment, why the Democrats are framing their case the way they are, and what to look for in the upcoming Senate trial.

Dershowitz argued that "abuse of power" -- one of two articles of impeachment against Trump approved by House Democrats last month -- is not an impeachable act.

"There are two articles of impeachment. The second is 'obstruction of Congress.' That's just a false accusation," said Dershowitz. "But they also charge him, in the Ukraine matter, with abuse of power. But abuse of power was discussed by the framers (of the U.S. Constitution) ... the framers refused to include abuse of power because it was too broad, too open-ended.

"In the words of James Madison, the father of our Constitution, it would lead presidents to serve at the will of Congress. And that's exactly what the framers didn't want, which is why they were very specific and said a president can be impeached only for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors," he added.

"What's alleged against President Trump is not criminal," added Dershowitz. "If they had criminal issues to allege, you can be sure they would have done it. If they could establish bribery or treason, they would have done it already. But they didn't do it. They instead used this concept of abuse of power, which is so broad and general ... any president could be charged with it."

Bill O'Reilly: Here's why Michael Bloomberg is likely betting on a brokered Democrat convention

On Friday's radio program, Bill O'Reilly joins Glenn Beck discuss the possible outcomes for the Democrats in 2020.

Why are former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama working overtime to convince Americans they're more moderate than most of the far-left Democratic presidential candidates? Is there a chance of a Michelle Obama vs. Donald Trump race this fall?

O'Reilly surmised that a post-primary nomination would probably be more of a "Bloomberg play." He said Michael Bloomberg might actually stand a chance at the Democratic nomination if there is a brokered convention, as many Democratic leaders are fearfully anticipating.

"Bloomberg knows he doesn't really have a chance to get enough delegates to win," O'Reilly said. "He's doing two things: If there's a brokered convention, there he is. And even if there is a nominee, it will probably be Biden, and Biden will give [him] Secretary of State or Secretary of Treasury. That's what Bloomberg wants."

BREAKING: John Solomon files lawsuit seeking records to expose Ukraine corruption and impeachment fraud

On the "Glenn Beck Radio Program" Friday, award-winning investigative reporter John Solomon, a central figure in the impeachment proceedings, explained his newly filed lawsuit, which seeks the records of contact between Ukraine prosecutors and the U.S. Embassy officials in Kiev during the 2016 election.

The records would provide valuable information on what really happened in Ukraine, including what then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter were doing with Ukrainian energy company, Burisma Holdings, Solomon explained.

The documents, which the State Department has withheld thus far despite repeated requests for release by Solomon, would likely shed light on the alleged corruption that President Donald Trump requested to be investigated during his phone call with the president of Ukraine last year.

With the help of Southeastern Legal Foundation, Solomon's lawsuit seeks to compel the State Department to release the critical records. Once released, the records are expected to reveal, once and for all, exactly why President Trump wanted to investigate the dealings in Ukraine, and finally expose the side of the story that Democrats are trying to hide in their push for impeachment.

"It's been a one-sided story so far, just like the beginning of the Russia collusion story, right? Everybody was certain on Jan. 9 of 2017 that the Christopher Steele dossier was gospel. And our president was an agent of Russia. Three years later, we learned that all of that turned out to be bunk, " Solomon said.

"The most important thing about politics, and about investigations, is that there are two sides to a story. There are two pieces of evidence. And right now, we've only seen one side of it," he continued. "I think we'll learn a lot about what the intelligence community, what the economic and Treasury Department community was telling the president. And I bet the story was way more complicated than the narrative that [House Intelligence Committee Chairman] Adam Schiff [D-Calif.] has woven so far."

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with Carter Page: Smeared by the Russia hoax, betrayed by his country

Carter Page, a former advisor to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, found himself at the center of the Russia probe and had his reputation and career destroyed by what we now know were lies from our own intelligence system and the media.

On the TV show Thursday, Page joined Glenn Beck to speak out about how he became the subject of illegal electronic surveillance by the FBI for more than two years, and revealed the extent of the corruption that has infiltrated our legal systems and our country as a whole.

"To me, the bigger issue is how much damage this has done to our country," Page told Glenn. "I've been very patient in trying to ... find help with finding solutions and correcting this terrible thing which has happened to our country, our judicial system, DOJ, FBI -- these once-great institutions. And my bigger concern is the fact that, although we keep taking these steps forward in terms of these important findings, it really remains the tip of the iceberg."

Page was referencing the report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, which revealed that the FBI made "at least 17 significant errors or omissions" in its Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications for warrants to spy on Page, a U.S. citizen.

"I think this needs to be attacked from all angles," Glenn said. "The one angle I'm interested in from you is, please tell me you have the biggest badass attorneys that are hungry, starving, maybe are a little low to pay their Mercedes payments right now, and are just gearing up to come after the government and the media. Are they?"

I can confirm that that is the case," Page replied.

The full interview will air on January 30th for Blaze TV subscribers, and February 1st on YouTube and wherever you get your podcast.
