Glenn Beck's Battle of the Headlines: Obama on a roll

July 24, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

Voice: Barack Obama, John McCain, two candidates, one winner, fighting to the bitter end, the battle of the news headlines starts now.

Glenn: Here we go, the battle of the headlines. This is where we pit Barack Obama and John McCain up against each other to see who's going to win, just based on the headlines of the day. We take the headlines of the paper every day, pit them 4 against 4. Is it 4 or 5 today? Pit them against each other and see who's going to opinion and, Stu, it's been a long haul for John McCain. We've been doing this for a couple of weeks and things aren't looking good.

Stu: Yeah. That's right, Glenn. I'm trying to remain completely unbiased here, but it's so hard because Obama is flawless. How I mean, the guy doesn't make a mistake.

Glenn: Oh, my gosh. I just got a tingle up my leg.

Stu: How can you possibly print a negative headline I got goose bumps. Obama.

Glenn: Oh, oh. I just got another. Do it again.

Stu: I don't want to.

Glenn: Say it like you're a hot chick.

Stu: I'm not going to do that for you.

Glenn: Say Obama. Just say Obama. Oh, yes. When your girlfriend, you know your girlfriend is, like, just let me call you Obama, when your wife is like, Obama, yes, we'll know we have found our man. All right. So, Stu.

Stu: Yes, Glenn.

Glenn: Looking like a good day for Obama or McCain.

Stu: The man is flawless. Obama has to be the guy.

Glenn: Here we go. Here we go. Headline No. 1: Obama's start status frustrating McCain. Headline No. 2: Obama gains on McCain in Arizona fundraising. Headline No. 3: The stars align for Obama. No. 4: Obama wins applause for delicate dance through Mideast political mine field. May I just point out here I don't think anyone should dance through a mine field but maybe it's just me. And finally the last headline for Barack Obama, Berlin awaits the new JFK. (Applause.) All right. We're her at the half. What are you seeing, Stu?

Stu: Well, you know, a couple of weeks ago I thought those headlines would have been bad with McCain having a clear edge on foreign policy but now we have seen Obama can travel across the oceans. The man is walking on water.

Glenn: Here we go, the next set of headlines. These are for John McCain in our headline battle. Headline No. 1: McCain denies misstating timetable of surge in Iraq. McCain credits Bush for drop in oil price. Iraq veteran takes on McCain in new ad. McCain's foreign policy frustration, and, finally, just so we can show a little ageism, the final headline for John McCain, McCain's confusion on Iraq.

Voice: Once again, Barack Obama comes out on top, glowing headline after glowing headline. Gee, what a freaking surprise.

Glenn: Hang on just a second. Stu, is that the second or third or fourth day that we have had a McCain headline that is ageist, that is confusion, he's mixed up?

Stu: Yeah. There's been a big

Glenn: Slow?

Stu: That's the new push lately is that he can't remember which country is which and he can't remember when things started or when dinner is being served, things like that.

Glenn: I think we should talk to him. If you're in the press corp, you should say, Mr. McCain, could you answer a question for me? How great is Obama?


I think you should just shout and speak slowly for the old and infirmed.

Glenn Beck: Here's how US economy decisions are giving CHINA worldwide CONTROL

On the radio program Tuesday, Glenn Beck broke down today's inflation, explaining what it is and giving proof that those at the top — politicians and world elite — continue to take advantage of our declining economy to advance their own agenda. He also revealed how a recent decision by Citibank and powerful investment management company, BlackRock, not only puts the U.S. further behind but also allows for China to gain worldwide control.

'I wanted it all out, down to the nails, screws, bolts': Trump tells Glenn Beck he REJECTED Gen. Milley's plan to leave military equipment in Afghanistan

For the first time in the history of "The Glenn Beck Program," former President Donald Trump joined Glenn to give his take on America's direction under President Joe Biden compared to his own administration. He explained why Biden's horrific Afghanistan withdrawal was "not even a little bit" like his plan, and why he thinks it was "the most embarrassing event in the history of our country."

Plus, the former president gave his opinion on China's potential takeover of Bagram Air Base, the Pakistani Prime Minister, and Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Glenn asked President Trump how similar the Biden administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan was to his administration's plan.

"Not even a little bit," Trump answered. "We had a great plan, but it was a very tenuous plan. It was based on many conditions. For instance, you can't kill American soldiers. ... You have to understand, I did want to get out. But I wanted to get out with dignity, and I wanted to take our equipment out. And I didn't want soldiers killed. ... What [Biden] did was just indefensible. He took the military out first and he left all the people. And then we became beggars to get the people out. I had a plan to get them out very quickly. But first, the Americans would go out."

Trump told Glenn that his plan included maintaining Bagram Air Base and explained why he would not have left "a single nail" behind in Afghanistan for the Taliban to seize.

"We were going to keep Bagram open," he explained. "We were never going to close that because, frankly, Bagram is more about China than it is about Afghanistan. It was practically on the other border of China. And now we've lost that. And you know who is taking it over? China is taking it over. We spend $10 billion to build that base. It's got the longest, most powerful runways in the world. And China has now got its representatives there and it looks like they'll take it over. Glenn, it's not believable what's happened. You know, they have Apache helicopters. These are really expensive weapons, and they have 28 of them. And they're brand-new. The latest model."

Glenn mentioned recent reports that Gen. Milley, America's top military officer, made "secret phone calls" to his counterpart in China while President Trump was in office.

"I learned early on that he was a dope," Trump said of Gen. Milley. "He made a statement to me — and I guarantee that's what happened to Biden — because I said, 'We're getting out of Afghanistan. We have to do it.' And I said, 'I want every nail. I want every screw. I want every bolt. I want every plane. I want every tank. I want it all out, down to the nails, screws, bolts ... I want every single thing. And he said, 'Sir, it's cheaper to leave it than it is to bring it.'

"The airplane might have cost $40 million, $50 million ... millions and millions of dollars. So, you think it's cheaper to leave it than to have 200 pilots fly over and fly all the equipment out? ... I said, you've got to be nuts. I mean, give me a tank of gas and a pilot and I just picked up a $40 million-dollar airplane. It was amazing. So, I learned early that this guy is a dope. But what he did, is he hurt our country ... and he shouldn't have been allowed to do it. And bad things should happen to him."

Glenn Beck EXPLODES after Pelosi admits to Uyghur 'GENOCIDE' in China — but adds climate is 'overriding issue'

In a shocking but underreported conversation ahead of the G7 Speakers' meeting in London last week, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitted that the administration knows China is committing "genocide" against the Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region, but thinks working with the regime on climate change is more important.

On the radio program, an outraged Glenn Beck dissected Pelosi's speech and broke down how — along with the Biden administration's abandonment of Americans in Afghanistan, and the Democrat decision to follow measures of medical "equity" — the far left is revealing how little they really care about human life.

Glenn played a video clip of Pelosi making the following statement:

We've always felt connected to China, but with their military aggression in the South China Sea, with their continuation of genocide with the Uyghurs in Xinjiang province there, with their violation of the cultural, linguistic, religious priority of Tibet, with their suppression of democracy in Hong Kong and other parts of China, as well – they're just getting worse in terms of suppression, and freedom of speech. So, human rights, security, economically [sic].

Having said all of that ... we have to work together on climate. Climate is an overriding issue and China is the leading emitter in the world, the U.S. too and developed world too, but we must work together.

"We have Nancy Pelosi admitting the United States of America knows that they're not only committing [genocide], they're continuing to commit it. Which means, we've known for a while," Glenn noted. "And what does she say? She goes on to say, yes, they're committing genocide against the Uyghurs, but having said that, I'm quoting, 'the overriding issue,' is working together on climate change.

"Would we have worked with Hitler on climate change? Would we have worked with Hitler on developing the bomb? Would we have worked with Hitler on developing the Autobahn? Would we have worked with Hitler on his socialized medicine? Would we have worked with Hitler on any of his national, socialist ideas?" he asked.

"The answer is no. No. When you're committing genocide, no! She said 'we have to work together on climate,' because climate is the 'overriding issue.' The overriding issue? There is no way to describe this mindset. That, yes, they are killing an entire group of people because of their ethnicity or religion. They are systematically rounding them up, using them for slave labor, and killing them, using their organs and selling them on the open market. They are nothing more than cattle. For us to recognize it and do nothing about it is bad enough. But to say, 'we recognize it, but we have bigger things to talk to them about,' is a horror show."

Glenn went on to urge Americans to "stand up together in love, peace, and harmony," or risk watching our nation become the worst plague on human life yet.

Glenn Beck WARNS: The economy is changing and 'you are not going to recognize the American lifestyle'

Image source: Video screenshot

The fall of Lehman Brothers in 2008 marked the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. history and economic collapse was felt throughout the world. But now China's own version of Lehman Brothers, Evergrande, is teetering closer and closer to that edge, too. On the radio program Thursday, Glenn Beck gave the latest update and predicted how it will affect Asian markets and what it could mean for America's economy.

Glenn explained why he believes a major collapse that is happening now in China will have a cascading effect into a "controlled collapse," a managed decline that will dramatically change America's economy and the way we all live.

"You will not recognize your lifestyle. Hear me," Glenn warned. "And that's not a right-left thing. That's a right-wrong thing. We're on the wrong track. I'm telling you now, there's new information and you are not going to recognize the American lifestyle. ... It could happen tomorrow. It could happen in five years from now, but it will happen. We are headed for a very different country. One where you don't have the rights that you have. And you certainly don't have the economic privileges that Americans are used to."

"The same thing that happened in 2008 is now happening in China," Glenn continued. "This time, it's going to take everything down. When it collapses, it will take everything down."
