Glenn Beck: Battle of the Headlines

July 22, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program




Surprise; Obama wins yet another round to keep his record perfect...

GLENN: Well, here we go, the Battle of the Headlines. This is, every day we get together at this time, we just take the headlines out of the paper, just different stories about Obama and McCain and we see who's won every day. So far it's been very close, has it not, every --

STU: It's a tight battle, as you know. It's a divided country between two parties and both these parties are going back and forth.

GLENN: You can never ever, you know, decide something on just one day's headlines. You have to look at the trend. And so far the trend, if I may go to our color commentary, Steve Burguiere, Stu, what does it look like shaping up in the long run here?

STU: Well, as you know this is a marathon, not a sprint, and it's very important that people understand that it goes back and forth. That, you know, it goes one way one way, goes the other way another day.

GLENN: Right.

STU: As you know right now you've got John McCain in the middle -- he's got a very popular issue. The issue on everyone's mind is gas prices, drilling, he's on the right side for public opinion. So you'd think he would do very well.

GLENN: But I'm asking what, what does the trend look like so far?

STU: 100% Obama.

GLENN: Battle of the Headlines, the headline war every day. Now, what are we expecting today, Stu?

STU: Exactly what I said, Glenn. Energy is the focus of people. John McCain is on the right side of it and public opinion. He should be doing very well on the headlines.

GLENN: Here we go, Barack Obama, headline number one. For Obama, a first step is not a misstep. Headline number two, Obama gains support for pullout. Headline number three, Iraqis back Obama plan. And headline number four, diary, Barack Obama's world tour from the BBC.

Well, now we're at the half. That looks like a pretty strong showing here from Barack Obama.

STU: Yeah. Interesting, they really have reviewed his trip as a world tour very well, but I think that that's going to be balanced here by the fact that McCain has much more public policy and foreign policy experience.

GLENN: Headline number one, McCain blames Obama for higher gas prices. Headline number two, John McCain vies for extra press coverage. Headline number three, McCain, kneecapped by Maliki. And headline number four, never underestimate McCain, but...

VOICE: Once again Barack Obama comes out on top, glowing headline after glowing headline. Gee, what a freaking surprise. No, seriously, what's next? Glenn's got a hairpiece? Thanks for the update.

GLENN: Never underestimate McCain but... I don't think I've ever seen that as a headline. A but... it's like, never underestimate McCain, we can't run with that. "What do we do? But a but... after that.

STU: What would you say comes after the but...? You should this time?

GLENN: Never underestimate McCain but... this time he's out.

STU: But this time you're overestimating him?

GLENN: It's unbelievable.

'The cult of Trump': As Biden era begins, calls grow louder to 'deprogram' Trump supporters

Countless leaders on the left are now arguing that removing President Donald Trump from office won't be enough — they're now calling for the president's "cult-like" supporters to be "deprogrammed." And it's not just fringe politicians.

During an appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week, former NBC anchor Katie Couric said, "The question is, how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump."

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi questioned whether the nation needs "a 9/11-type commission" to determine whether President Trump was colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin "the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol." Clinton also made sure to include her favorite "deplorables" in her unsubstantiated conspiracy theory:

"But we now know that not just [Trump] but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy," Clinton said to Pelosi.

Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and New York Times Magazine's Nikole Hannah-Jones agreed that there is a need for "millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republicans" to be deprogrammed and punished, during an MSNBC interview last week.

Now, a story from the Washington Post is also preaching that narrative and even added that we need more restrictions for conservatives on social media and in the broadcast industry.

"So now we have to be deprogrammed? We've heard this over and over and over and over again, for months," said Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday. He read through the shocking details of the Washington Post op-ed and discussed the extraordinary dangers of the latest anti-conservative movement in America.

'We are the Alamo, we will stand': As calls for censorship get louder, Glenn Beck urges Americans to stand together

As calls for censorship and restrictions against conservative voices get louder, Glenn Beck said he feels an "awesome responsibility" to speak, not the words he'd personally like to say, but those he believes the Lord would want him to share.

"It's an awesome responsibility, and one that I am not worthy of," Glenn said. "I want to say ... what He wants me to say. And I have to listen very carefully, because I feel the same way you do. But that will get us nowhere."

Glenn said it's time for Americans who are awake — not woke — to come together, no matter which side of the political aisle you're on, and stand with the truth.

"We are the Alamo, we will stand. But we desperately, desperately need you," Glenn said. "We need the people who are awake — not woke — awake. You may disagree with us. We are your allies, not your enemies. And if you will not stand with us in our hour of need, there will be no one left to stand with you in your hour of need. We must all come together, anyone who is awake."

Biden's 'DAY ONE' executive orders: Paris accord, Keystone pipeline, mask mandates & more

The incoming Biden administration plans to waste no time in overturning much of the progress achieved by President Donald Trump.

On his radio program Monday, Glenn Beck ran through 10 executive orders President Joe Biden plans to announce on "day one" of his time in office — including rejoining the Paris climate accord, canceling the Keystone pipeline, mask mandates on federal land and during interstate travel, and a proposed federal minimum wage of $15 an hour.

WATCH: This is why Eric Weinstein is FINALLY talking to Glenn Beck

Eric Weinstein, managing director of investment firm Thiel Capital and host of "The Portal" podcast, is not a conservative, but he says conservative and center-right-affiliated media are the only ones who will still allow oppositional voices.

On "The Glenn Beck Podcast" this week, Eric told Glenn that the center-left media, which "controls the official version of events for the country," once welcomed him, but that all changed about eight years ago when they started avoiding any kind of criticism by branding those who disagree with them as "alt-right, far-right, neo-Nazi, etc.," even if they are coming from the left side of the aisle. But their efforts to discredit critical opinions don't stop there. According to Eric, there is a strategy being employed to destroy our national culture and make sure Americans with opposing views do not come together.

"We're trifling with the disillusionment of our national culture. And our national culture is what animates the country. If we lose the culture, the documents will not save us," Eric said. "I have a very strongly strategic perspective, which is that you save things up for an emergency. Well, we're there now."

In the clip below, Eric explains why, after many requests over the last few years, he finally agreed to this podcast.
