Glenn Beck: McCain's bold move

September 25, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

GLENN: Can you trust either of these guys to really do the job? We're going to see. At least one of them has the courage to actually stand up and go to Washington and be the -- and here's why I say courage. This is leadership. This is -- did slogan really fits John McCain Country First. If he were to be President, he may be the worst President of all time. But I will tell you this, the guy does have a backbone. The guy does have a spine. Because just war game this out for me, will you?

So he is going to Washington to do this bill. If he actually gets it -- well, let's take all the options. He goes, he meets with everybody, it falls through, there is no bill, the economy collapses. It's John McCain's fault. He couldn't get it done. If he passes a bill and it's got all kinds of stuff in it that, you know, I don't know, 75% of the country is against, John McCain has just done the tough thing but he's just brought us something that nobody wants. And there's no winner here because it's exactly like, "Hey, there hasn't been a terrorist attack since 2001." Well, you don't get credit for that. You only get blame for what didn't happen. So he's not going to get credit for it. He's going to get blamed for the biggest spending package twice the size of prescription drugs.

And the third option is he stands against it and it doesn't pass and then he's blamed -- because everything collapses. Then he's blamed because he couldn't get it done. So exactly how does John McCain win here? The answer is he doesn't. He doesn't win. This is on a suicide mission. This is a guy who really does put country first, or he's just the dumbest strategist of all time and I don't believe that. It's just finally somebody's standing up -- you know we always say how come we can't get anybody to be on the record, how come politicians are so smarmy? It's because when somebody actually puts their career at stake and does something you don't like, you don't vote for him.

(OUT 11:40)

GLENN: Ted Bell czar. Stalks the globe in a way you will not believe. The new novel by Ted Bell. It's called Czar. Available in bookstores everywhere.


Let me go to Mitch in Texas. Hello, Mitch, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

CALLER: Hey, Glenn, I've got a comment. I see Obama refuses to go to Washington to place an up or down vote on a stimulus plan. Sounds typical Barack Obama. Whereas we have McCain who is willing to say yes or no and come together to get us back on track. I think that speaks volumes.

GLENN: Yeah, I do, too. I will tell you that, Mitch, I am impressed with -- you know, I said two days ago and again yesterday, I said when I find out that neither one of these guys were planning on going back to the Senate and take a vote, I said where is the leadership out of these two. You guys don't even have -- you don't have the spine to go stand in the well of the Senate and help put this thing together and then say this is where I stand and I'm going on the record, if you don't have the spine to do that, you don't have the spine to be the President of the United States. And here is John McCain doing just that. I will tell you that it is typical John McCain. He is willing to go down with the ship to do what he believes is right and honorable, and there is something to be said about that.

WATCH: Candace Owens: This is what’s REALLY driving the race riots in America

With cops under fire, businesses destroyed, and innocent civilians beaten and killed, where is the justice that well-meaning protesters were seeking for George Floyd?

On Wednesday night's special, Glenn Beck goes one on one with Blexit founder and "Blackout" author Candace Owens about what's really driving the riots, white privilege in America, and why it sickens her that Floyd has become a martyr for Black America.

'Liberation begins where America dies': Lara Logan reveals the TRUTH about Antifa's role in violent riots

Award-winning investigative journalist Lara Logan told Glenn Beck on the radio program Wednesday that a network of radical extremist terrorist organizations, which includes Antifa, are coordinating and escalating many of the violent riots in the wake of George Floyd's death.

Lara, who has done extensive reporting on Antifa, said it's "extraordinary" that so many Americans in the media and politics are defending the "very violent terrorist organization."

"[The media is] pretending that they care about journalism. They don't. They care about silencing, intimidating, destroying, annihilating, and getting us all to self-sensor so we don't cover any of the subjects they don't want us talking about," she said.

"For those of us who've followed [Antifa] for a while, and know what they're doing and what their agenda is, what has always been troubling is the way so many people in the media and in the political establishment have given them cover to operate," Laura added. "These are extremists. And you see a lot of parallels between extremists on the left and the right ... they pretty much operate the same way, exactly. And there's no difference between what Antifa is doing and the 'Brown Shirts' of Nazi Germany. Or the 'Black Shirts' of Mussolini."

She read the 10 points of action listed by an extremist group called the "Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement", which culminates with "Liberation begins where America dies."

Glenn recalled a prediction he made approximately 15 years ago, that "socialist, communists, radicals, anarchists, [and] Islamists would all work together ... they would all see the opportunity and work toward the same goal. And that's destruction of capitalism, and destruction of the Western world."

"A few years ago, I probably would not have agreed with you on that," Laura responded. "But I now see that you're absolutely correct."

Dan Bongino RIPS media for calling Trump a 'coward hiding in a bunker' during White House riots

The Trump-deranged media is calling the president a "coward" because he was moved to an underground bunker as riots erupted outside the White House over the weekend.

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino joined the "Glenn Beck Radio Program" Tuesday to set the record straight. He told Glenn that under Title 18, US Code 3056, the Secret Service has the authority to protect the president however they deem necessary, with or without his consent.

Dan explained that the severity of the White House riots, which resulted in at least 50 Secret Service agents being injured, would very likely have warranted overriding the president's preference on whether or not to take shelter.

"Shame on the media ... for painting this as some kind of situation where Trump ran like a coward," Dan said. "Which is totally false and made-up. [...] They're morons. These are imbeciles with double digit IQs who are only in this to aggravate an already-bad situation. And it's a shame, because they're really incentivizing this kind of stuff to happen."

He also made it clear that the so-called protests over the death of George Floyd were actually "very strategic" riots organized by "Antifa terrorists."

"It was not even a protest. It should have been, and could have been ... but that's not what it was. It was an insurrection. It was a riot," Dan stated.

"I can tell you, from sources of mine that were there, [who are] more than credible and unimpeachable, that the attack at the White House -- and that's what it was over a period of days -- was very organized. It was done using very strategic tactics," he added. "I want to be crystal clear, this was organized by Antifa terrorists. It's not a joke. It's not hyperbole. These were people that were committed to an insurrection that was thankfully put down."

'Medieval': Dallas man STONED, beaten to near-death by rioters in viral video

Image source: BlazeTV video screen save

The media has been trying to discredit BlazeTV's Elijah Schaffer after he recorded a disturbing video of a man being brutally beaten and stoned almost to death by rioters Saturday evening in Dallas.

Elijah joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Monday to set the record straight.

"The very dishonest far-left media is working tirelessly at the moment to completely, not only discredit myself, but they always say, 'Elijah Schaffer who works for Glenn Beck's BlazeTV.' As if that's an insult. So I'm going to clear the air right now," he told Glenn.

"There was a group of about, I would say 150 rioters. They were not protesters. They were breaking windows. They broke into a bank. They broke into a bar. They were looting alcohol and partying on the streets while breaking glass. These were not people who were grieving over black lives," he added. "The police had lost control of the city."

Elijah went on to describe the violent scene, detailing the events leading up to the brutal beating of a man who was apparently trying to defend a local bar. Elijah posted a video of the incident on Twitter Saturday night.

"Rioters with rocks and bricks and bats and weapons, 150 or more, were accosting him as he stood in front of the bar," Elijah said. "Then they started stoning him, Glenn! Medieval! Throwing rocks and bricks.... We're in America. This is 2020. We do not stone people in the United States of America!"
