Biden's gaffe count increases

July 17, 2009
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program




Joe Biden speaking to AARP. In order to save the country from bankruptcy we have to spend more money.

GLENN: Do we have the audio of Joe Biden yesterday talking about healthcare. Listen to this.

BIDEN: And folks look, AARP knows and the people with me here today know, the president knows, and I know, that the status quo is simply not acceptable. It’s totally unacceptable. And it’s completely unsustainable. Even if we wanted to keep it the way we have it now. It can’t do it financially. We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation. Now, people when I say that look at me and say, What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt? The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.

GLENN: There it is. Okay, so what are you talking about, Joe? People say to me all the time, what are you talking about, Joe? Oh, I bet they do. Are you saying we're going to go bankrupt? Yes. Then you are telling us we need to go spend more money to keep us from going bankrupt? Yes. I would like to talk to a single person that that makes sense to. Help me out with the logic. You can get me to this logic: Glenn, is debt bad? No. Well, debt is bad; we've got out of control debt. No, no, no. You said out of control debt? Yes, that's bad. Debt is not bad, if it's not out of control. Everybody has a reasonable amount of debt. Unfortunately most people have an unreasonable amount of debt. The federal government has an unsustainable, incomprehensible amount of debt. There's a difference. Is debt bad? No. You own your house? Well, no, I took a loan out for it. Okay, debt's not bad. If you took a loan out for your house that there's no way you could ever pay those payments, then debt is bad. This, what you have to realize is our country has done everything to throttle down. We have put you know what it is? We're a race car driver and we have now put a governor on our car so we can only go 65 miles an hour. But we're in the Indianapolis 500 and we are the race car driver that has won every Indy race for the last 25 years. We are the best race car driver ever, ever in the history of race cars and we're at the Indianapolis 500 and we say, "If we're going to put... you know what, this race is just too dangerous. We're all gonna die. " Well, what should we do? "Well, we should all put a governor on ourselves." What? "We should never go more than 65 miles an hour." Yeah, right, right. Well, if I do it because I'm the most experienced, I'm the one that everybody looks to, if I put a governor on my car and race 65 miles an hour, then everybody else will. No, they won't. Because there's a lot of race car drivers that want to win the race. So you can go do whatever you want, but until the whole, the race car league of America, including Speed Racer and Racer X decide to put the governor on their car, you're gonna lose every time. Well, that's what we're doing. We're doing it with healthcare, we're doing it with regulation, we're doing it by buying up our businesses. Is there anyone within the sound of my voice that believes that General Motors is going to make a better car because they are now run by the unions and the government, is there anyone, is there anyone in the government and the unions that think that they will make a better car because they now control it? No. It's unsustainable. It's ridiculous. It makes absolutely no sense and everybody knows it.

SENTENCE COMMUTED: Roger Stone is no saint but the double standard is MIND-BLOWING!

Roger Stone is kind of a scumbag but the outrage over his commutation by President Trump has gone off the rails. Thus far in his presidency, Trump has commuted the sentence for 11 individuals while in comparison, Bill Clinton had 61. Even worse, Barack Obama commuted the sentence of 1,715 criminals! Just by the numbers, the outrage is insane. But then add in that both Obama and Clinton commuted or pardoned the sentence of terrorists and/or "friends" of the the president and the double standard is outrageous.

Here is a list of just a few of the worst offenders:

Bill Clinton Pardons/Commuted sentences

Terrorists

  • Commuted the sentences of 16 members of the FALN, a Puerto Rican paramilitary organization that set off 120 bombs in the United States, mostly in New York City and Chicago. There were convictions for conspiracy to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as firearms and explosives violations.
  • Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg were both commuted and both were members of Weather Underground and the May 19 Communist Movement, and were convicted on weapons and explosives charges.

Case similar to Trump/Roger Stone

  • Susan McDougal was sentenced to 18 months in prison on contempt charges for refusing to testify about Clinton in the Whitewater scandal only to have Clinton pardoned her.

Pardons/commutations that look like a response to bribes

  • Carlos Vignali was convicted for cocaine trafficking. Almon Glenn Braswell was convicted for mail fraud and perjury, and was under investigation for money laundering and tax evasion. Vignali was commuted while Braswell was pardoned, but they were also both caught paying approximately $200,000 to Hillary Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham, to represent their respective cases for clemency.
  • Marc Rich fled the U.S. after he was caught owing $48 million in taxes and was charged with 51 counts for tax fraud. Everyone was surprised when Clinton pardoned him. It was later revealed that Rich's wife made substantial donations to both the Clinton library and to Hillary Clinton's senate campaign.

Pardon for a member of Clinton's family

  • Clinton pardoned his brother, Roger Clinton, who had been convicted on drug charges. A year after the pardon he would be charged for Drunk driving and disorderly conduct.

Drug Cartel lawyer

  • Clinton commuted the sentence for Harvey Weinig, a former NY lawyer who was sentenced in 1996 to 11 years in prison for facilitating an extortion-kidnapping scheme and helping launder at least $19 million for the Cali cocaine cartel.

Obama Pardons/Commuted sentences - the most since Truman: Obama granted clemency to nearly 2,000 individuals, including 212 pardons and 1,715 commutations.

Terrorist

  • Obama commuted the sentence of another FALN terrorist, Oscar Lopez Rivera.

Traitors

  • Chelsea Manning: the former Army Intelligence analyst was convicted of leaking documents that revealed classified information on military and diplomatic activities all around the world only to have her sentence commuted.

Case similar to Micheal Flynn or Roger Stone

  • Obama pardoned General James Cartwright, who had been convicted for lying to the FBI (sound familiar?!). Cartwright was considered "Obama's favorite general".

WATCH NOW: The Deep State Diversion: Unmasking Names in the Coup Against Trump

On his Wednesday night special, Glenn Beck goes where the Left and the media don't want us to go. The protests, riots, pandemic — it's all one big distraction being weaponized to shield the Deep State from the big reveal.

The case against General Michael Flynn is bigger than a phone call with the Russian ambassador; it exposes everything. Glenn reveals multiple cogs in the Deep State wheel that tried to destroy Donald Trump's presidency.

This story has everything: secret meetings, spies, glamorous European locations. Glenn puts all of the pieces together and interviews the man who was an eyewitness to all of it — former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos. Specifically targeted by this Deep State coup, his reputation and life may never be the same. He reveals the names of those he believes were behind his setup and the coup against the president.

Hey, WaPo, Native Americans DON'T HATE the name 'Washington Redskins'

The Washington Post wants Native Americans to hate the name "Washington Redskins" so badly that that it is willing to mock its own study that proved otherwise.

On the radio program Tuesday, Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere (filling in for Glenn Beck) discussed the "woke insanity" of the WaPo's most recent poll, which, like its 2016 counterpart, found that the vast majority of Native Americans are not offended by the NFL team's name.

'This changes absolutely everything': Glenn reads rediscovered ORIGINAL draft of the Declaration of Independence

As the left tries to erase America's history and disparage nearly everything about our nation's founding, Glenn Beck set the record straight about the Declaration of Independence, what it really says, and why he believes it is the "greatest mission statement of all time."

On the radio program Monday, Glenn read something you've probably never heard before: a section of the earliest known draft of the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson in July 1776 and lost for more than a century and a half.

"This wasn't found until 1947; the original draft of the Declaration was found in a bunch of Thomas Jefferson's writings, in a box in the Library of Congress," Glenn said. "This takes everything that you have learned about Thomas Jefferson and turns it upside down. It also explains why we didn't eliminate slavery. It also explains that our Founders felt passionately about slavery, that they tried to end slavery. I want to read just this paragraph to you. This changes absolutely everything."
