Glenn Beck: Joe Biden gaffe machine

September 25, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program




Biden "No Coal Plants Here in America"


(Obama is for coal plants...)



Biden Gaffe: Asks a Gentleman in a Wheelchair to Stand Up



Biden on FDR's experience and management of the 1929 crash


(Hoover was President in 1929 and the speech he's referring to wasn't on television as it had yet to be released to consumers)

GLENN: Dan, can you take me to the take me to Joe Biden, will you? Here's the latest Joe Biden that's a personal favorite of mine.

BIDEN: Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence, is demonstrate that he or she knows what they're talking about and communicates to people.

GLENN: Stop, stop, stop, stop. Hang on just a sec. Stu, I want can we make a list here? Because my pen just went dry.

STU: We want to know what his job is?

GLENN: I want to know what his job is. Part of what a leader does, what was it, Dan?

BIDEN: Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence.

GLENN: Okay, stop. Instills confidence.

BIDEN: Is to instill confidence and demonstrate that he or she knows what they're talking about.

GLENN: Stop, stop. That he or she knows what he or she is talking about.

BIDEN: And communicates to people. If you listen to me and follow what I'm suggesting we can

GLENN: Stop, stop, stop. If you listen and then can convince people, and can convince people hang on. This is starting to sound like Jesus I'm sorry Obama.

(Angel music).

GLENN: If he could just convince me that if we just listen to him and follow him, he can fix this problem. That's great.

STU: I think convincing people you can fix the problem starts with really understanding how we got there, what the history is.

GLENN: You've got to know these things. That was covered in point number two, wasn't it?

STU: Demonstrate that you know what you're talking about, instill confidence.

GLENN: There's more. Go ahead. We've learned what he has to do. Okay, good. So

BIDEN: We can fix this. Stock market crash, Franklin Roosevelt got on television and didn't just talk about, you know, the princes of greed. He said, look, here's what happened.

GLENN: Okay, okay, okay. Hang on.

STU: Why are you laughing? He was in the middle of

GLENN: I know, during the stock market crash in '29.

STU: Demonstrate he knows what he's talking about and convincing people he can fix the problem.

GLENN: Right. He didn't just go after the ministers of greed, which is exactly what Roosevelt did. Unfortunately he did it on radio, not television. And a few years after the stock market crash because Hoover was the President! Of course also the inventor of the vacuum cleaner.

STU: So he instilled confidence there.

GLENN: No, he didn't no, uh uh.

STU: You are now confident that he knows

GLENN: No, I

STU: He's imagined other scenarios that could have happened in the Great Depression.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: He's demonstrating he knows what he's talking about. He predicted no, listen. He predicted that the television was coming.

GLENN: But he's already missing the television coverage it's like he didn't know that it was on radio.

STU: The television was coming. He predicted that Roosevelt would be President. And imagine what would have happened and he's convincing people that if Roosevelt were President on TV, that wouldn't be the right thing. Joe Biden is the correct this guy could be a heartbeat away from the presidency any day. I mean

GLENN: Give me some of the other Joe Biden stuff today. Give me some of the other Joe Biden stuff today, will you? Who was the one you know, I just heard today for the first time, and I just love this. I know I read about it and everything else, we talked about it, but I haven't actually heard about it. Do you have the "Come on, Senator, stand up, Senator, go ahead. Give those legs a try." Who was the senator he was talking about? Some state senator, right?

STU: Yeah, I'm not sure of the name, but I can say that he was instilling confidence in him. You should stand up, you should be able to have the confidence to rise.

GLENN: Yeah, he was in a wheelchair.

STU: Right. And then he was demonstrating he knew what he was talking about.

GLENN: No, because he was in a wheelchair. The guy can't stand up.

STU: Right, but he knew that afterwards and corrected it. He convinced people he can fix the problem. He was saying stand up; that would fix his problem. If the guy would have stood up, he would have been able to walk, he wouldn't have needed the wheelchair.

GLENN: He should have known that he was not....

(Savior of the universe music).

GLENN: Only Barack Obama can look at a man in a wheelchair and say, Senator, rise up!

(Savior of the universe music).

GLENN: Only Barack can do that. Instead Joe Biden does this.

BIDEN: I also am told that Chuck Graham, state senator is here. Chuck, stand up, Chuck. Oh, God love you. What am I talking about? I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal. Thank you very, very much.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh, stop! Can you stand up for Chuck? Unless you're in a wheelchair. Oh, dear God, I'm in a nursing home. Oh, boy. I didn't realize I was speaking at the convention of MS. I holy cow, I just thought these were convenient chairs. I'm so sorry. Jeez! Can you imagine if George W. Bush no, no. No. What's the guy that made the JFK movie, got the new one coming out on W? Oh, pinhead, he changes history and everything. Named Nixon? You know who I'm talking about?

STU: Why his name?

GLENN: Because we're smart, we've got other things in our head besides this loser's name. What's his name? Do you know how to use a computer or are you John McCain?

STU: Well, I

GLENN: Is that what it is?

STU: Are you trying to make some sort of a

GLENN: John McCain doesn't he can't use a computer. He doesn't use it. He doesn't like it. He doesn't understand it. He's old. He was watching Woodrow Wilson on TV.

STU: Oliver Stone. That takes so long. I have no brain.

GLENN: That's a good thing. A badge of honor man, Oliver Stone. So can you imagine if Oliver Stone were a conservative and Joe Biden would have said that? Can you imagine what would have can you imagine if Michael Moore were a conservative and he would have said something like this? Play that again. That's just amazing to me. Play these, just these two clips back to back and listen to this guy.

BIDEN: And I also am told that Chuck Graham, state senator is here. Chuck, stand up, Chuck, let everybody see you. Oh, God love you. What am I talking about? I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal. Thank you very, very much. I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.

GLENN: Holy and then this one.

BIDEN: Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence and demonstrate that he or she knows what they're talking about and communicates to people. If you listen to me and follow what I'm suggesting, we can fix this. In the stock market crash Franklin Roosevelt got on television and didn't just talk about, you know, the princes of greed. He said, look, here's what happened.

GLENN: No, he got on and talked about the princes of greed, but it was on radio and it was in 1933 or '34! That's when he did it! It was Hoover. And then, of course, Joe Biden does this.

COURIC: Are you disappointed with the tone of the campaign, the lipstick on the pig stuff and some of the ads? And you guys haven't been completely guilt free making fun of John McCain's inability to use a computer?

BIDEN: I thought that was terrible.

COURIC: Why did you do it then?

BIDEN: I didn't know if we did it. And if I knew we did it, we would have never done it. If Barack you know, I just think that was

GLENN: (Laughing). Stop.

STU: That's the greatest

GLENN: This was the greatest thing. This has made McCain/Feingold worth it. This has made McCain/Feingold worth it. John McCain, this will be the one and only time I thank you for your stupid, stupid bill that requires people to say, "I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message." Thank you, John McCain. Then here's Joe Biden, "I didn't approve that and I don't think Barack Obama approved... apples, this guy has apple juice. Who wants apple juice? What is that, a stick burning? I've got to go, bye." I mean, it's unbelievable. And for some reason the press just... it's just Joe being Joe.

STU: We have to see if Joe did his did he do his list of tasks on that one? Did he instill confidence?

GLENN: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Instill confidence? Yeah, he was instilling confidence. That was wrong.

STU: He confidently said it was terrible.

GLENN: Yeah, it was terrible.

STU: He confidently said his own job was bad.

GLENN: But he didn't approve it. No, no, but he thought it was terrible. He didn't approve it. "I'm Barack Obama and I approved this message."

STU: Look, I don't think Barack approved... would you like a prune? I don't think he approved

GLENN: That was a Barack Obama impersonator.

STU: Yeah, totally.

GLENN: "I'm Barack Obama and I'm an impersonator of this message."

STU: Did he demonstrate that he knew what he was talking about. If he didn't know what he was talking about, he would have said, "I don't think Barack Obama approved of that message." But he knows that he did. He demonstrated by stopping three quarters of the way through the sentence.

GLENN: You could just see. It was like, you know, the train lights. You know how the gates come down and you're like, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. You know, the gates come down and the big red lights. You know that's what was going on in his head. Play that audio again. Just imagine the train coming. Go ahead.

BIDEN: I thought that was terrible.

COURIC: Why did you do it then?

BIDEN: I didn't know we did it and if I knew we did it, I would have never done it and I don't think Barack I just think

GLENN: Go back. I thought she said it, I thought she came in. (Laughing). "No, I didn't do it."

STU: He gets all the way to the name before he figures out he needs to stop.

GLENN: It's like, holy cow, there's a train. And then here's the train. Do it again. Do it again.

(Audio playing).

GLENN: Stop. Stop. Katie, you're just like, oh, good God, it's a freight train and it looks just like Katie Couric.

STU: Katie Couric does a great job there because she just says, well, why did you do it then? (Laughing).

GLENN: (Laughing). I can't believe it. In one break I said thanks to John McCain for the McCain/Feingold ad, and Katie Couric was great, wasn't she?

STU: Wait, wait. The third Joe Biden requirement of his job, we have to see if he's done that. Convince people he can fix the problem.

GLENN: Yes. Yes, I'm convinced. He shut his mouth halfway through.

STU: He's always doing his job, this guy.

WATCH: BlazeTV reporter details TERRIFYING moment looters surrounded and attacked in Philadelphia

Protests following the fatal police shooting of Walter Wallace Jr quickly devolved into violence, rioting, and looting in Philadelphia, and BlazeTV's Elijah Schaffer was there to document what the mainstream media won't. But while filming the carnage inside a Five Below on Tuesday, Elijah was surrounded and attacked by looters.

Elijah joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Wednesday to detail his experience and to explain why mainstream media efforts to downplay the violence just show that independent media has never been more important.

"Unfortunately, [the attack] escalated from one person to about a dozen very quickly," Elijah explained. "I'm actually really happy to be alive. Because in that same shopping center, right there, there was a 15-year-old girl who was shot, according to reports. And I heard multiple gunshots throughout the night. Another individual is reported to have heard a gunshot as well, so we try to confirm. I watched people get pummeled beyond belief."

Glenn asked Elijah to respond to mainstream media claims that conservatives are exaggerating the looting and violence in Philadelphia.

"It's so funny to hear people that aren't there try to counter what we're reporting," Elijah replied.

His record 'speaks for itself': Jason Whitlock on why President Trump is gaining with black voters

Image source: Video screenshot

In the final days before the 2020 election, President Donald Trump is gaining among black voters, particularly men, because his record of accomplishments "speaks for itself" and the "façade" that President Trump is a racist "just doesn't ring true," argued sports columnist Jason Whitlock on "The Glenn Beck Radio Program" Tuesday.

Jason, who recently interviewed the president at the White House for OutKick.com, shared his thoughts on why he believes many black Americans — notably celebrities such as Kanye West, Ice Cube, and 50 Cent — are breaking from the "façade" that President Trump is a "flaming racist."

"I really believe the facts are starting to speak for themselves, and that Donald Trump's record of accomplishments, particularly as it relates to African Americans, speaks for itself," Jason told Glenn. "He actually has a record to stand on, unlike even Barack Obama. When [Obama] was president, I don't think he had much of a record to stand on, in terms of, 'Hey, what did he actually deliver for African Americans?' President Trump has things he can stand on and, you know, beyond that I think black people understand when he starts talking about black unemployment rate. And America's unemployment rate. And then, when you add in for black men, the façade we've been putting on [President Trump] … you know, this whole thing that he's some flaming racist, it just doesn't ring true."

Jason suggested that Trump's fearlessness, unabashed masculinity, and record of keeping his promises resonates with men in the black community. He also weighed in on how media and social media's bias plays a huge role in convincing people to hate President Trump while ignoring Antifa and others on the Left.

"I keep explaining to people, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, they're some of the most secular places on earth. And we've reduced everyone to a tweet, that we disagree with," he added.

Megyn Kelly: Media coverage of President Trump is ‘DISGUSTING’

Megyn Kelly is not happy about the "disgusting" media coverage of President Donald Trump, specifically pointing to Lesley Stahl's "60 Minutes" interview on CBS Sunday.

On the radio program, Megyn told Glenn Beck the media has become so blinded by the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" that they've lost their own credibility — and now they can't get it back.

"It's disgusting. It's stomach-turning," Megyn said of the media's coverage of the president. "But it's just a continuation of what we've seen over the past couple of years. Their 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' has blinded them to what they're doing to their own credibility. They can't get it back. It's too late. They've already sacrificed it. And now no one is listening to them other than the hard partisans for whom they craft their news."

Megyn also discussed how she would have covered the recent stories about Hunter and Joe Biden's alleged corruption. Watch the video below to catch more of the conversation:

WITCH HUNT: The left has TERRIFYING plans for Trump supporters if Biden wins

Imagine sometime next year, getting called before HUWAC – the House Un-Woke Activities Committee.

"Are you or have you ever been a member of the un-woke?"

Something like that is not as far-fetched as you might think.

Last week, Robert Reich, the former Secretary of Labor during the Clinton administration, now a UC Berkeley professor, tweeted this:

Since the 1970s, there have been dozens of "Truth Commissions" around the world like the kind Robert Reich wants in America. Most of these have been set up in Africa and Latin America. Usually it happens in countries after a civil war, or where there's been a regime change – a dictator is finally overthrown, and a commission is set up to address atrocities that happened under the dictator. Or, as in the commissions in East Germany and Czechoslovakia, atrocities under communism. Or, in the most famous example, South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation commission addressed the decades of apartheid that ravaged that nation.

These commissions usually conclude with an official final report. These commissions and reports have served as a means of governments trying to close a dark chapter of their country's history, or provide emotional catharsis, as a way to generally move on. Sometimes it kind of works for people, most of the time it leaves people clamoring for more justice.

Here's how one professor described truth commissions in an article in The Conversation last year. He wrote:

The goal of a truth commission… is to hold public hearings to establish the scale and impact of a past injustice, typically involving wide-scale human rights abuses, and make it part of the permanent, unassailable public record. Truth commissions also officially recognize victims and perpetrators in an effort to move beyond the painful past… Some have been used cynically as tools for governments to legitimize themselves by pretending they have dealt with painful history when they have only kicked the can down the road.

See, this is the problem with a lot of "Truth" commissions – they are inherently political. Even if you trust your government and give them all the benefit of the doubt in the world that their Truth commission is trying to do the right thing, it is ALWAYS going to be political. Because these truth commissions are never set up by those who have LOST power in government. They're always established by those who have WON power.

The Deputy Executive Director of the International Center for Transitional Justice says one of the main points in these Truth commissions is that "the victims become protagonists."

A Department of Anti-racism is entirely within the realm of possibility.

So, who are the victims in Robert Reich's America? People like him, members of the far-Left who had to endure the atrocities of four years of a president with different political ideas. What an injustice. I mean, the left's suffering during the Trump administration is almost on the level of apartheid or genocide – so we totally need a Truth commission.

There have been lots of calls for the U.S. to have its own Truth and Reconciliation commission, especially around racial injustice.

This past June, Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California introduced legislation to establish the " United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation."

Ibram X. Kendi – the high priest of anti-racism, and author of Target's current favorite book " Antiracist Baby" – proposes a Constitutional anti-racism amendment. This amendment would:

establish and permanently fund the Department of Anti-racism (DOA) comprised of formally trained experts on racism and no political appointees. The DOA would be responsible for pre-clearing all local, state and federal public policies to ensure they won't yield racial inequity, monitor those policies, investigate private racist policies when racial inequity surfaces, and monitor public officials for expressions of racist ideas. The DOA would be empowered with disciplinary tools to wield over and against policymakers and public officials who do not voluntarily change their racist policy and ideas.

If you think that is far-fetched, you haven't been paying attention to the Left's growing radicalism. In a Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration, a Department of Anti-racism is entirely within the realm of possibility. And of course, such a DOA would never stop at policing government.

We're in a dangerous, precarious moment in our history. Given the events of 2020, should Democrats gain the White House, the Senate, and the House, how many commissions will be in our future? They will suddenly have plenty of political capital to drag the nation through years of commission hearings.

And the Left's form of justice is never satisfied. You think it will stop at a T&R commission on race? MSNBC's Chris Hayes tweeted this month about the need for a commission to deal with Americans who are skeptical about wearing masks:

Or what about a Truth commission on religion? I mean, look at those reckless churches spreading Covid this year. Or this would be a big one – a T&R commission on climate change deniers.

The Left is highly selective when it comes to truth. That's why they are the very last group you want in charge of anything with "Truth and Reconciliation" in the title.

This is one of the most incredibly frustrating things about the Left in America today. The Left insists there is no such thing as absolute truth, while simultaneously insisting there are certain approved truths that are undeniable.

So, you can't question "Science" – even though that's pretty much what every great scientist in history did.

You can't question racism as the explanation for all of existence – because, well, just because.

You can't question third-party "Fact-checkers" – because the powers that be, mainly Big Tech right now, have decided they are the Truth referees and you have to trust what they say because they're using certified external fact-checkers. They just forgot to tell you that they actually fund these third-party fact-checkers. It's like if McDonald's told you to trust third-party health inspectors that they were paying for.

The Left thinks it has a monopoly on Truth. They're the enlightened ones, because they've had the correct instruction, they're privy to the actual facts. It's psychotic arrogance. If you don't buy what they're selling, even if you're just skeptical of it, it's because you either don't have the facts, you willingly deny the facts, or you're simply incapable of grasping the truth because you're blinded by your raging racism problem. It's most likely the racism problem.

The Left never learns from its own preaching. For the past 60-plus years they've decried the House Un-American Activities Committee for trying to root out communists, getting people canceled, ruining Hollywood careers, etcetera. But a HUAC-type committee is precisely what Robert Reich is describing and many on the Left want. It's not enough for Trump to be voted out of office. Americans who helped put him there must be punished. They don't want reconciliation, they want retribution. Because the Left doesn't simply loathe Donald Trump, the Left loathes YOU.
