Did Glenn run the Boston Marathon?

May 08, 2009
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

GLENN: Now, here's a big oxymoron. Now let's go to Happy in California.

CALLER: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: What's happening, Happy?

CALLER: Hey. Well, you asked me to call back in because I and Flat Glenn ran the Boston marathon on April the 20th and you asked for a followup and pictures, et cetera.

GLENN: Okay. April 20th.

CALLER: Yeah.

GLENN: Have you checked the calendar?

GLENN: No, I ran it. I finished it. We ran for

GLENN: Have you been running since April 20th?

CALLER: Yeah, we ran for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We finished. I've got pictures of Flat Glenn with a medal. I want to send it to you.

GLENN: Okay.

CALLER: And video of the excursion is at http://run.flatglenn.com/.

GLENN: Okay. Now, for anybody who doesn't know what Flat Glenn is, I don't even really know how Flat Glenn started, but I just realized somebody with the name of Happy probably does. How did Flat Glenn start, Happy?

CALLER: Actually I honestly don't know, either. I just love him like I love you.

GLENN: So Flat Glenn is one of the Insiders is an artist and he made this is it on wood or fiberboard?

CALLER: Kind of a pressed board, yes.

GLENN: So he made this Flat Glenn caricature and then made it on the pressed board and now it has traveled the world like I don't know how many times over and people take pictures. The Insiders, they will say, hey, I'm going to the Great Wall; send Flat Glenn. And so then there's this picture of Flat Glenn standing there. It's really, I don't understand it but it's kind of actually kind of cool. But I would just

CALLER: The big problem on marathon day was that there were over 200 Duncan doughnut shops that I had to get Flat Glenn to run past.

STU: (Laughing).

CALLER: Plus all of the progressive bookstores on all those campuses, oh, my God, it was really tough.

GLENN: Was he shouting, Woodrow Wilson sucks! Listen, Happy, do one thing for me. When you say "We ran the marathon,"

CALLER: Yeah.

GLENN: Would you just at least recognize for yourself that Flat Glenn isn't a real person?

CALLER: I might be able to do that but, you know, it was for a good cause. I mean, it was to try to find a could you for cancer and

GLENN: Did you find one?

CALLER: Well, not yet but, you know, the best day or the worst day of running a marathon is better than the best day of chemo.

GLENN: Have you had cancer before?

CALLER: No, I haven't, but that's the only reason that I do, that I run marathons is to raise money. Raise money

GLENN: For cancer or everything?

CALLER: For research.

GLENN: For cancer research?

CALLER: You bet.

GLENN: Do you know somebody who had cancer?

STU: Can't he just care about people?

GLENN: Yes, he can care about people! But he's like, "I run all the time with a piece of wood strapped to my back."

CALLER: No, no.

GLENN: I've got to do it for cancer! I mean, I'm just looking for some I mean, you can care about cancer because you're, you know, whatever.

CALLER: No, I met an 8 year old girl who had been fighting cancer since she was 2 1/2 and that was my initial reason for starting to run and to run for a cure and that was five years ago, and I've done 11 marathons and raised thousands of dollars.

GLENN: See, that's a good reason. Now, the bad side of Glenn, Flat Glenn would say, "So wait a minute, all I heard was you met an 8 year old girl and then you started to run." That's I mean, and I think those things should be thought about before you came on air. Happy, thanks so much and congratulations and send us the pictures, will you? That's Happy in California, and I'm Sad in New York. Back in a second.

WATCH this pastor chase 'communist' cops out of his church: 'Gestapo is not allowed here!'

Just days after Canadian pastor James Coates was released from prison for refusing to bow to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, several police officers showed up at another church to ensure restrictions were being followed. But Polish pastor Artur Pawlowski of the Cave of Adullam Church in Alberta, Canada, knew his rights, telling the cops not to come back until they had a warrant in hand.

Filling in for Glenn Beck on the radio program this week, Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere played a video of the interaction.

"Please get out. Please get out of this property immediately. Get out!" Pawlowski can be heard yelling at the six officers who entered his church.

"Out! Out! Out! Get out of this property immediately until you come back with a warrant," he continued. "Go out and don't come back. I don't want to talk to you. You Nazis, Gestapo is not allowed here! ... Nazis are not welcome here! Do not come back you Nazi psychopaths. Unbelievable sick, evil people. Intimidating people in a church during the Passover! You Gestapo, Nazi, communist fascists! Don't you dare come back here!"

'Our children don't stand a chance': Glenn Beck EXPOSES how radical Marxism is infiltrating our kids' schools

One of the most dangerous existential threats to the United States is Critical Race Theory, or CRT. As Glenn Beck has exposed over the past year, CRT is gaining momentum and has been preached in our universities for a while now.

Then last August, leaked documents revealed that Marxism, activist ideology of Black Lives Matter, is making its way into grade school classrooms across the country. And since then, things have only gotten more intense.

On next week's Wednesday night special, Glenn will expose the new ways progressives are systematically indoctrinating our kids and culture with this dangerous ideology. But first, it's crucial that you know what your kids may already be learning.

"What I'm about to show you is just the beginning," Glenn said, introducing the leaked documents.

"I found it shocking that Black Lives Matter supporters have developed lesson plans that start from preschool all the way up to the 12th grade," he continued. "Do you know the money it would take to tailor things ... and get it out to the schools and the unions for each age, to be able to brainwash the kids on Marxism and how to destroy capitalism by using race, sexual orientation, and gender?

"Our children don't stand a chance," Glenn added later. "They're not being taught anything except how to be radical activists. What the hell has happened?"

Why would Hunter Biden release a memoir NOW?

During his campaign, President Joe Biden survived scandal after scandal involving his son Hunter — the Ukraine/Burisma scandal, the laptop scandal, the one involving a stripper from Arkansas and a long-lost child. And yet, after it all appeared to have been swept under the rug, Hunter has now released a memoir — "Beautiful Things."

Filling in for Glenn Beck on the radio program this week, Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere discussed Hunter's "horrible" response when asked on "CBS This Morning" if the laptop seized by the FBI in 2019 belonged to him and reviewed a few segments from his new book, which they agreed raises the question: Is Hunter trying to sabotage his father's career?

Glenn Beck: Here's why MAJOR companies are going all-out woke over Georgia's voting laws

Countless corporations — from Delta Air Lines, Coca-Cola, and Porsche to UPS and LinkedIn — are calling out the Georgia voting laws, calling them "restrictive," "racist," and "discriminative." Meanwhile, words like "stakeholder" and "equitable" are starting to show up in their arguments.

On the radio program, Glenn Beck gave the "decoder ring" for what's really going on here, because our society is being completely redesigned in front of our eyes.

There's a reason why all these big businesses are speaking out now, and it has very little to do with genuine ideology, Glenn explained. It's all about ESG scores and forcing "compliance" through the monetization of social justice.

Glenn went on to detail exactly what ESG scores are, how they're calculated, and why these social credit scores explain the latest moves from "woke" companies.

Watch the video below to hear Glenn break it down:
