The Glenn Beck Program


Glenn Beck is seen here on the Insider Webcam, an exclusive feature available only to Glenn Beck Insiders. Learn more...

GLENN: Oh, jeez. All right, here's our number, 888 727 BECK, 888 727 BECK. What we're going to do is we're going to do a draft pick, and you can pick your candidate. Are we just doing Obama today or are we doing Obama and McCain?

STU: I think we'll do Obama. Supposedly his pick is going to come tomorrow or the next day.

GLENN: So you get to pick, obviously the first one in, you know. You get the pick of the litter, and the one who picks the candidate that Obama picks, we'll give you something from the web store.

STU: I'm going to lobby here for the listeners. I know you don't care about

GLENN: One of everything from the web store? One of everything?

STU: Now I'm lobbying against you and against the listeners. It should be something in between.

GLENN: What a flip flopper. I don't care. You put the package together. They can pick whatever they want.

STU: It should be a good package.

GLENN: Fine, fine.

STU: Why are you trying to shut down the listeners?

GLENN: I'm saying give them one of everything from the website. I don't really care! Holy cow.

STU: They are picking the vice president of the United States potentially.

GLENN: No, Obama is. McCain's not, by the way. He's not picking the vice president. He's been picking the vice presidential nominee but not the vice presidential vice president, he's not.

STU: Polls are within 2 points.

GLENN: I know.

STU: Who knows what could happen. Let's

GLENN: When those Republicans pull out, you know, stuff out of their dirty tricks bag.

STU: Well, Glenn, luckily for the Republicans, everyone's so racist or this wouldn't be close. I tell you.

GLENN: Boy, you aren't kidding. Boy, the racism here in America.

STU: Did you notice his name is funny? It's still funny.

GLENN: Do you know I pulled out a dollar yesterday and I just looked at it. I was looking at Barack Obama on TV and I was going to pay something and I pulled out a dollar and went (gasping), he doesn't look like the guy on the dollar bill!

I know that happened just yesterday, but it happened the day before and it will probably happen tomorrow, too. I just, because I forget. I'm like, that guy's running for President. (Gasping). He doesn't look like the guy on the dollar bill! Here's our number, 888 727 BECK. Who do you choose as the vice presidential nominee for Barack Obama? Remember, this is going to be tough. Think like Obama because if you pick what he picks, you win. 888 727 BECK.

(OUT 9:41)

GLENN: All right. We go to John in New Hampshire for the how do they do this in the sports world? You should do this because I don't

STU: You have to do it in the same way every time because the commissioner always says it the same way every time. So it's like with the first pick of the 2008 Barack Obama vice presidential draft

GLENN: No, it's got to sound more boring than that. Aren't they usually a little more boring than that?

STU: I can do it more boring. Would the first pick of the 2008 vice presidential draft for Barack Obama, John from New Hampshire selects...

CALLER: Yeah, Glenn. Hillary Clinton. Because if he's going to if he's going to win, he's got to have her base.

STU: Wow, that's a shocking first pick.

CALLER: It's a good first pick.

STU: I don't know. You think?

GLENN: It's not going to happen. You're listening to John? You talk about John after we say goodbye, John, it's great to talk to you, then he goes away and we're safe.

CALLER: Well, I'm a Republican. So I'm hoping that he goes with Hillary.

GLENN: You know what? What is she trading on

DAN: She's trading at 10 and the leaders, Biden is at 30.

GLENN: You know what, here's the reason why he's not going to pick Hillary Clinton. Because the secret service can't watch both of them. You know what I'm saying?

CALLER: Yeah, but if they're trying to get the other one whacked, it will be all right.

GLENN: That's exactly right. Look, if I'm the President and Hillary Clinton is my vice president, I immediately say to the secret service: By the way, I need a taste tester and I need to know that you're one of the secret service that worked in the White House before and hated Hillary Clinton. I need a taste tester. And forget about I'd go out in crowds, yeah, whatever, I got that handled; keep an eye on her, will you, and him. He's got a lot of time on his hands.

CALLER: But it's change for the children. So it will be okay.

GLENN: Change for the children, thanks a lot, John. Oh, we need to get John's

STU: We're getting information as we go.

GLENN: All right. Ralph in Delaware.

CALLER: Glenn, thank you for taking my call.

GLENN: Hang on.

STU: The second pick of the 2008 Barack Obama vice presidential draft, Ralph of Delaware selects?

CALLER: Ralph would like to first thank Glenn for the speech he gave at the NRA convention. It was one of the most wonderful speeches I ever heard. Nancy Pelosi.

GLENN: I like him. Who? What? Nancy Pelosi? Are you out of your mind?

STU: The second pick?

CALLER: It's a left field pick.

GLENN: It's a very, very left field. It's so far left

CALLER: It would ensure a Republican victory.

GLENN: What? All right, Ralph, thanks a lot, man. It kind of you know, he starts out with, hey, I'm a big fan and that speech made more sense than anything. It's Nancy Pelosi, she's come on! Who would give a compliment and then take it away with a Nancy Pelosi draft pick!

STU: Excellent point.

GLENN: All right, let's go to Ken in New York.

CALLER: Tim Kaine.

STU: We didn't do the intro. Don't you guys understand how drafts work? With the third pick of the 2008 vice presidential Obama draft, Ken from New York selects?

CALLER: Tim Kaine because he puts Virginia in play unfortunately.

GLENN: Can I tell you something? I think that's that's my pick for him. I know everybody's going with Biden and everything else. I go with McCain only because of who's the guy? Indiana?

STU: Bayh.

GLENN: He needs Indiana you know, he needs these states that don't usually, you know, vote crazy.

CALLER: We have one in Virginia. So I'm afraid he could pull Virginia out and that's scary, but keep up the good work.

GLENN: Thanks, man, I appreciate it, Ken. Tim Kaine, how's he doing on InTrade?

DAN: Tim Kaine is actually, he's down at, like, 22. But the State of Virginia is actually 51.5 to 48.5. So that's

GLENN: For winning for

DAN: The Democrats are ahead. So that would probably you know.

STU: Well, you know, Kaine, it's one of those things, you try to pick somebody who's going to get you a state but you don't want to get somebody

GLENN: Who's going to hurt you. That's the problem with him. It's the dynamic duo of inexperience. It's like, I don't know, I've been here for three months, I can't even find the light switch, I don't even know where that is.

STU: If you have a guy who comes out and, you know, the possibility of Barack Obama not doing a good job, you never know. There could be an impeachment because, you know, he's not qualified or doesn't, you know isn't experienced enough. Then who is your backup? You are going to another guy who's

GLENN: Wait a minute. I'm just trying to get my arms around this. You think there's a possibility of impeachment?

STU: I didn't say there was a possibility. What else? You are picking a vice presidential candidate based on the fact that the President wouldn't be doing the job anymore. There's several scenarios. I highlighted one of them because I don't feel like talking about the others.

GLENN: I'm sorry, so riddled with ADD. I just heard you thought there might be a possibility of impeachment. Let me ask you this. No, that was a good point you made.

STU: I know it is. If you would listen to it, you would understand.

GLENN: You just go on and on, I can't do it very long.

STU: Where is your medicine? Can you start taking your medicine again?

GLENN: Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Have you, have you thought about this. Pick between these two. Which do you think and I'm not saying that this is I'm not saying this is high probability. I'm just asking, in the world of probability, which one do you think is more likely in an Obama campaign, that he's impeached or he declares himself, you know, President under really difficult conditions and I'm going to relinquish this presidency as soon as I can?

STU: As soon as I get around to it?

GLENN: Yeah. Which one? That he's more likely to become Mussolini or more likely to be chased out by congress? Which one?

STU: I don't think that

GLENN: I'm not asking you, I'm not saying that these have

STU: You can't let me get through thee words without losing attention.

GLENN: I know what you're going to say.

STU: What are you going to say?

GLENN: I'm not telling you. You know why? Because you're insane.

STU: I'm not insane. You think I'm insane because you only catch every sixth word.

GLENN: What? All right, what's your point?

STU: Now I'm not giving it to you.

GLENN: I don't want it. I didn't want it in the first place. Okay, I did. Tell me. Go ahead.

STU: I don't remember what it was.

Glenn Beck, Chad Prather, and Steven Crowder on Dr. Seuss and the idiocy of cancel culture

Blaze TV hosts Glenn Beck , Chad Prather, and Steven Crowder weighed-in with similar but different thoughts on the fascism associated with canceling Dr. Seuss.

Glenn Beck can't help but wonder, "What is wrong with us?" in light of the Dr. Seuss books that have been cancelled due to "hurtful and wrong" illustrations — that takes America one step closer to complete insanity.

Chad Prather approached the issue from a comedic perspective, stating that "Dr. Seuss is dead and could not be reached for comment."

Steven Crowder explained that Dr. Seuss books were banned for being offensive and insensitive to some. So Steven decided to parody the six banned children's books with progressively titled and hilariously inappropriate versions.

Finance Fascists: The Credit Chokehold That Will Bankrupt America

"What's your climate credit score?" That's a question Americans may have to answer if the green global elites get their way.

While the media has distracted us with Orange Man Bad! and Russia, Russia, Russia!, the Left has been busy working on the fundamental transformation of America with a primary pressure point — YOUR money through YOUR bank. Democrats, forgetting the words of MLK, like to group people into categories. They judge you based on what skin color you have, your religion, occupation, your ideology, and now … your carbon footprint.

On his Wednesday night TV special this week, Glenn Beck exposes how they're now planning, not only to categorize you, but to give you a score. It'll determine everything for you: whether you can buy a home, get a new car, open a business … EVERYTHING. And if you don't bend the knee? You'll be blacklisted. But this isn't some far-off conspiracy theory. Multiple big U.S. banks are part of a private U.S. financial group enacting these policies now. It's here, and we're ALL at risk.

'We'll take the hits, but we WON'T let people lie': CPAC organizer hints at lawsuit over 'Nazi' stage design claims

Unlike the mainstream media, we at the "Glenn Beck Radio Program" decided to actually do the research and get to the bottom of CPAC's controversial stage design, which many on the Left have suggested was purposefully shaped like an obscure Nazi symbol. We got our answers straight from the source — and it's not what the media is suggesting.

American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp joined Glenn on Wednesday to share the real story of the stage design, who designed it, and why he's taking legal options against those smearing the Conservative Political Action Conference's name seriously.

Matt told Glenn he'd never heard of the alleged Nazi insignia, noting that even a staff member who "studied anti-Semitism in college" did not recognize the obscure symbol. He went on to explain how the stage designing firm, Design Foundry, and Hyatt Hotels worked collaboratively with CPAC event organizers for months throughout the designing and construction of the stage. However, when pressured by the cancel culture mob on social media, both companies "ran for the tall grass."

"Both the Hyatt and [Design Foundry] looked to CPAC and said [they] had nothing to do with this stage. That's outrageous," Matt stated. "This whole process takes months ... everybody saw this. Everybody had to figure out how to construct this. Everybody had eyes on it from every angle. And nobody in that process ever raised their hand and said, 'Oh, you know, I took a European history class, and I noticed [that the stage design looked like a Nazi symbol.] Nobody."

Matt went on to add that, while CPAC expects attacks from the Left, they also have every intention of standing up for themselves, the conservative community, the Jewish community, and all the people who love America.

"We're fine with taking the hits. We always take the hits, it's part of being a prominent conservative group. We'll take the hits, but we won't let people lie," Matt said.

"I can't tell you how many people have called me during the course of this most tumultuous of years and said, at what point does the conservative community, do the 74 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump, do the people who love America, and think it's okay to read Dr. Seuss, and love Thomas Jefferson and Mount Rushmore, at what point do they start pushing back on the cancel culture? At what point do they say, this is a line you can't cross? I think we're at that line," he added.

"We called our conference, 'America Uncanceled.' The whole thing became about them canceling us. At what point do we not have the right to say,' you can't treat us this way'? You're disparaging us. You're destroying our reputation. You're destroying our ability to be respected members of our community. So, I'm taking your challenge of pursuing our legal options very seriously. And I think we have to go broader. We can't let these companies just follow the woke mob. We can't do it."

Jim Acosta perfectly demonstrates why CPAC attendees chanted ‘CNN sucks’

CNN reporter Jim Acosta was confronted at CPAC by The Federalist reporter David Marcus with a valid question: "When are you guys going to start covering Cuomo?" His answer — or, really, lack of an answer — perfectly demonstrates why he was earlier surrounded by CPAC attendees chanting, "CNN sucks!"

On the "Glenn Beck Radio Program" Tuesday, Glenn and producer Stu Burguiere react to a video clip of the exchange with Acosta, as well as the mainstream media's double standards when it comes to Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
