January 14, 2009
Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

VOICE: January 19th at 5:00 p.m. on Fox News, Glenn Beck tries to destroy a different cable news network. Find out more at GlennBeck.com.

GLENN: I can't -- I'm surprised that I couldn't destroy the last one. I really tried hard. Well, we'll roll up our sleeves and do our best, although Fox seems to be a juggernaut. Join us next Monday night at 5:00 and please set your TiVo because I know that, you know, you're busting your butt and especially on the West Coast, you are not going to be around at 5:00. But I promise you it will be worth TiVoing. It will be worth your while and it will be a, I believe -- Stu, after the meeting we had yesterday, not all the meetings but I think yesterday we kind of had a real meeting of the minds and really, we're starting to get really down to the wire here. I think we have a different kind of show than what you've seen over at Fox.

STU: Yeah, I think it's going to be different and I think it's nice that it's coming together with several hours before it actually airs.

GLENN: I'm surprised. I am surprised. When you see it coming together, I don't -- that might be a little strong.

STU: How about this. It's nice that within a week of the actual start date, we've thought about what's going to be on the air.

GLENN: There you go. I think so. So join us next Monday on Fox at 5:00.

Okay. And by the way, this is -- you know, I told these guys at Fox just, I think it was yesterday, and they all kind of looked at me like, "Oh, jeez, I've never heard that thing before." I've only done two live shows. I've never done a live show every day. I mean, this is live. I'm used to live radio, but I've never done live television. I did it two nights. And remember the white knuckle that it was? You remember how Conway, our producer, was just like... the whole time? Do you remember?

STU: It was very frightening.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: The first one in particular. But when you're doing it every night, it's a completely different story.

GLENN: And what scares them is when there's no stopping now. You know, they used to stop down a lot and they're like, "Okay, okay, wait a minute here. That probably should go away." And I'm like, "Really? Oh, okay, I guess." I mean, there's no stopping now, and you just never know what I'm going to say when it's live. So it could be a very short career. I'm not -- I'm just saying. I'm not saying that I'm going to say something stupid but I'm not not saying it, either. Join us at 5:00 on Fox starting on Monday.

Okay. So last night I'm watching 24, and I had to laugh out loud. Well, first of all, have you noticed, Stu? You've been watching it. Have you noticed that the story line -- and I'm not going to blow anything for you. Have you noticed that the story line is exactly in line with I think at least how I feel the American people are feeling?

STU: Yeah, it's a story of what you've been talking about.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. And it's --

STU: Luckily it's only on TV, for the moment.

GLENN: I mean, it's amazing, isn't it? It is people trying to take their government back. It's incredible.

STU: Yeah. And it started with the speech that we talked about with Jack in front of the Senate where it was just, you just, you want somebody to talk to those people like that.

GLENN: That's right. And do you know, do you remember in the scene -- this happened, I think, on Sunday night when Jack was in the car and the FBI agent turned around and said, "Hey, you know, thanks for doing that, et cetera, et cetera," and he said, "You don't need to thank me. I just do what I believe is right and that's all I do." And he said, "Yeah, but now you've got to come back and -- I mean, why did you come back? You knew what they were going to do. They were going to rip you apart." And he said, "Because it's time this country has the dialogue. It's time this country says the hard things to each other and we decide who we are." And I'm like, "Yeah." I mean, this really I think is right in line with where people are today.

STU: And it's a great start to the season, too, just from an entertainment perspective.

GLENN: It's great.

STU: It's been great so far.

GLENN: So here's the thing. Janeane Garofalo is on this year, and I surprisingly don't hate her.

STU: Yeah. No, not yet.

GLENN: It's a long season.

STU: It is a long time.

GLENN: There's 20 more episodes to go.

STU: How could she not be the evil one? I mean, in the end doesn't she have to be?

GLENN: No, you are expecting it. You are expecting that the liberal liberal, you know --

STU: Yeah. And you know she wouldn't have taken --

GLENN: Tree-hugging, no way.

STU: Actually when you are Janeane Garofalo, you take any role.

GLENN: You know what I wonder? They would never put Rush Limbaugh in that role. They would never put Rush Limbaugh in any role.

STU: Well, Rush Limbaugh's not an actor.

GLENN: Let's just say, you know, who is -- she's a comedian. She is not an actor. She is a comedian that did some movies.

STU: She's done some movies.

GLENN: But she's a comedian.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: But you would never put a commentator in a TV show like that because Hollywood would always say, "Well, they wouldn't believe that. They wouldn't -- "I mean, I'm looking at Janeane Garofalo and all I'm thinking is that's Janeane Garofalo, but she's pulling it off. She's doing a good job.

STU: You are right, though, I do just see Janeane Garofalo.

GLENN: And everything that you see her do, you think of course that's what she would say, not the character but Janeane Garofalo.

STU: You are right.

GLENN: And I had that very same dialogue going on in my mind, "She wouldn't have taken this if she was the bad person, if she's going to make the liberal, you know, if she's going to make the progressives look bad, she would never take this." You know?

STU: Yeah, and that is a problem. We've talked about that forever.

GLENN: Exactly right.

STU: That's the problem with taking political positions as an actor or actress because you don't --

GLENN: Exactly right. But you notice that it doesn't happen the other way. With conservatives generally speaking, it doesn't happen.

STU: Well, they have to take roles that are liberal. They have no choice. They are all liberal.

GLENN: Right. But it's interesting also that Janeane Garofalo and Jon Voight are in the same series this year.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: The right and the left actors. Okay. So she's in that one scene, and I'm not going to give anything away but, you know -- I'm not going to spoil the scene for you if you have it on TiVo. But there's this one scene where you know character -- I'm trying to be as vague as I can -- this one character is with Janeane and they need to interrogate. It's 24. You knew this was happening. So they interrogate and the one character says, "I've got to get the answers." And Janeane Garofalo says, "You can't do that. This is America. That's against the law." And the other character says, "They'll kill a bunch of people and we've got to do it! A lot of people will die and it will be a horrible situation!" Janeane Garofalo's character says, "This is against everything we stand for! This is against code, this is against all regulations, this is against the law! I won't have anything to do with it!" And then the character turns with tears in their eyes, says, "This whole thing has been my fault. I've got to set this right. Please, I've got to get the answer. I've got to do this because it's -- I've got to set it right! Please, for me!" And the progressive says, "Okay, I'll wait outside." It wasn't because people are going to die. It wasn't because this guy knows and we need to get it. It wasn't, "We've got to protect our country." She was convinced by, "Please? It will make me feel better." You didn't even have to say, "But okay, let me make the case. I don't think the law applies here or here or here." All you had to do was look at her with puppy dog eyes and say, "Please, it will make my booboo go away."

STU: If that's not every liberal policy.

GLENN: It is.

STU: Feel good emotional.

GLENN: It is. It's wrong. If you want to do it for any other reasons. But if it will make us all feel good, well, then maybe we should.

New details emerge about Trump raid — and 'it doesn't look good for the FBI'

New, alleged details about the raid of former President Donald Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago hint that it's "not looking good for the FBI," said BlazeTV host Glenn Beck on the radio program Thursday.

Trump has faced attacks from every direction, but despite all of it, he has "not been found guilty or had any kind of real, solid evidence against him," Glenn pointed out.

Glenn detailed a long list of investigations, accusations, and lawsuits against Trump, and the latest puzzling revelations about the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago, which only seem to raise even more questions. For example, did agents truly refuse to give Trump's lawyer a copy of the warrant upon arriving at the home? Because sources have alleged that his attorney was kept "10 feet away from the warrant" and was not allowed to actually read it. If that's true, then it was absolutely against the law.

Then there was the inordinate amount of time spent going through Melania Trump's closet. And did they have the proper authority to break into Trump's safe?

"That warrant had better damn well say that they can break into that safe because the law is, you can't go into somebody's house and ... just tear it all apart," Glenn said. "You have to have a pretty good idea of where things might be located, and you ask for permission for those areas. And you have to know exactly what you're looking for, and if it's in a safe, you need to specifically say, 'it's in a safe and we're having a safe cracker come in.' If they didn't say in the warrant that they could crack his safe, it's the fruit of the poisoned tree. By the way, there was nothing in the safe."

Glenn also explained that the FBI broke into a specific "safe room" that contained national archives, which Trump was allegedly told by investigators to keep in a locked room.

"[Trump] made a safe room, and put two locks on it, at their request. And that's what they broke into," Glenn said. "This doesn't look good for the FBI," he added.

The NEW 'Axis of Evil': Preparing for economic WAR with Russia & China

There’s an economic axis of evil taking shape right now, and the people in charge of our government are too stupid to acknowledge and deal with what’s happening. The U.S. dollar and the entire financial system are at stake, and, as Glenn Beck reveals on "Glenn TV" Wednesday, our enemies’ PUBLISHED plans to take the entire thing down.

While all of this is happening, our own leaders are making everything worse. We’ve got Nancy Pelosi risking an international incident, accelerating China’s plans to collapse us. And when Biden SHOULD be focusing on the security of our country, he’s instead preoccupied with controlling the weather with his Inflation "Reduction" Act.

Glenn exposes the TRUE numbers on what that bill will do to your family’s budget. Add to that, they’re more than doubling the IRS to make sure you feel the pain. And if you think they won’t come for you, look at what they just did to the former president of the United States. The DOJ and FBI just went after the political opponent of their boss, Joe Biden.

This is what they are focused on, and the threat to the dollar — and the entire financial system — isn’t even on their radar. Pain is coming for us, and they don’t care one bit.

Watch the full episode below:

Biden ACTUALLY expects you to believe 'our economy had 0% inflation' last month — isn't fooling anyone

Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images

Speaking before signing the “PACT Act of 2022” on Wednesday morning, President Joe Biden claimed that his wonderful economic plan "is working" and that somehow July’s annual inflation rate of 8.5% was actually “zero.”

“I just want to say a number: zero. Today we received news that our economy had 0% inflation in the month of July,” Biden said during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dutifully echoed the president's not-at-all misleading claim:

The truth of the matter is that last month's inflation rate of 8.5% was a (small) step in the right direction, but only because it was lower than June's 41-year high of 9.1% — and the thing is, anyone who's graduated kindergarten knows it.

So, who do White House personnel think they're fooling? On the radio program Wednesday, Glenn Beck and producer Stu Burguiere broke down how the Biden administration came to this latest disingenuous conclusion about the economy, what the latest consumer price index actually shows, and why the inevitable Biden brag-fest will be unbearable.

Glenn Beck: This is the ONLY endgame that makes sense for the FBI’s raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home

If you're celebrating this FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, you have no idea how much this changes things. We don't do this in America. At least, we didn't. But the left cannot have Donald Trump be president again. His "America First" platform goes against everything they've been working for. So, what's their endgame here? On the radio program, Glenn Beck said there's really only one endgame that makes sense — and it should scare us all.

"If you are not for the destruction of America, you better pay attention quickly. This is a massive move," Glenn said of the Mar-a-Lago raid.

"Who has credibility on this? ... The right will believe Donald Trump, but nobody on the left, so you're not going to change any minds there. Do you think the right will believe the New York Times? MSNBC? NBC? CBS? Do you think we're going to believe the New York Times — the people who have been carrying water for the Biden crimes? The Clinton crimes? And ... I'm talking about her server and having her own State Department people go into a skiff, which is the top secret room, completely sealed off, going in and getting documents, cutting off 'top secret,' and then emailing them to her on her private server. And nothing? And now you're going to try to convince me [that] this has nothing to do with January 6?" he added.

"Remember the [allegations about] bank servers, [Trump] was pinging a bank? Untrue. Carter Page is a Russian spy? Untrue. Donald Trump is a Russian spy? ... Untrue. Collusion with Russia? Untrue. Ukraine, the perfect phone call? Not true. Not true. Wasn't a perfect phone call. Was not impeachable. The pee tape dossier? None of that was true. Here's why they can't have [Trump] as president of the United States. They can't have him as president of the United States because we are headed towards a completely new, all redesigned, non-capitalist, nonconstitutional Great Reset," Glenn argued. "They cannot have him be president because he is America first."

Glenn warned Americans that our federal government is accumulating massive power, case in point the 87,000 new IRS agents. "Coupled with the [IRS agents] they already have ... that's almost the size of our National Guard. Do you feel comfortable with that? Democrats? You don't think there's a possibility ... that someone ... might come in at some point and weaponize the IRS?"

He also warned that the FBI's raid on Donald Trump’s home has implications that stretch far beyond simple dislike for the former president. So what are they hoping to accomplish?

"What is the endgame? You make him into a martyr by throwing him into jail or killing him ... so you make him stronger. That doesn't make sense, why would they want that?" Glenn asked. "So, what is their endgame? The only one that makes sense to me, is to stop him at any cost, then lunatics will take to the streets, and then [the Democrats] will have evidence that the [right is] more dangerous than anyone could possibly imagine. Please, pray for your country."
