October 09, 2009
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program


The Obama National Anthem...

GLENN: President Obama has won a Nobel Peace Prize for his accomplishments. Now, not a lot of people know this, but the nomination period ended, was it two weeks before or two weeks after?

PAT: Two weeks after.

GLENN: Two weeks after.

PAT: He was in office.

GLENN: So they had two weeks in office.

PAT: Those were, if you remember, right?

GLENN: Those were big weeks.

PAT: Huge, huge weeks for him.

GLENN: We're not sure yet. The Nobel Prize comes with $1.4 million, and I'm ‑‑ that's a million dollars more than his salary. We're going to have to check with the pay czar to find out if that's too much money for him to have because, you know, we would hate to have him have too much money and then violate any kind of new rules that, you know, well, he's the president; forget about it, there's no rules for the president anymore. Hang on, more breaking news.

PAT: Glenn, we have to break away for some important news. We go to Steve Burguiere, producer Steve Burguiere who is at Cambridge, Massachusetts right now with this important ‑‑ somebody please wake up the president.

GLENN: I think he's ‑‑ he might be awake. Is he awake by now?

PAT: Important breaking news from Cambridge. Go ahead, Stu.

GLENN: Even when he's asleep, he's awake. Go ahead.

STU: Glenn, are you awake?

GLENN: I am awake. I'm pretty sure when the president is asleep, he's awake. He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows when you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.

PAT: For goodness sake.

STU: Thank God for that. Glenn, we have exciting news. This is just coming down. I'm here in Cambridge live right now.

GLENN: Yes. Stu can you hear me?

GLENN: Yes, I can hear you.

STU: Okay, good. That's good that you ‑‑ basically what just happened here, and this is quite monumental ‑‑

PAT: Sounds like you have quite a crowd assembled behind you, Stu.

STU: Yes, there's a huge amount of people here. I'm probably being drowned out by the music and it's probably too loud for you to hear the crowd but ‑‑

PAT: Let's hear it for a sec. Turn the ‑‑

STU: The music is too loud. The music ‑‑

GLENN: All right, go ahead.

STU: Right now, Glenn, you have been ‑‑ this is fantastic. You have been awarded the valedictorian here at Cambridge. Congratulations. I mean, what an honor.

GLENN: Wait a minute, wait a minute. Let me get my arms around this. What did you just say?

STU: You have been awarded the valedictorian of the Class of 2010.

GLENN: What is her name?

STU: No, I don't think ‑‑

PAT: I think he's saying you are the valedictorian.

GLENN: Oh, I thought you were giving me the valedictorian because that would be ‑‑ I didn't know. I'm sorry. Go ahead. So I am the ‑‑ but I don't go to Harvard.

STU: No, you didn't win that award at all but you still have won, you've won the valedictorian at Cambridge.

GLENN: How did I ‑‑ I don't go to ‑‑

STU: At Cambridge.

PAT: Have they just decided that if he had gone to Harvard, he would have done so well that he would become the valedictorian?

STU: Yeah. And the bottom line is his intent is to be really smart and do very well at Harvard.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: Wow.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: Now, hang on just a second because what about Cambridge? Because Cambridge, you know, I know it's Cambridge, Massachusetts and Harvard but what about Cambridge?

STU: You are saying Cambridge in the U.K.?

GLENN: Yes.

STU: You've won there, too, although I wasn't going to brag, but congratulations.

GLENN: Really? Hang on just a second. I am shocked and humbled by this. I mean, what have I done? Get the award here as soon as you can, all right?

STU: Glenn, we have ‑‑

GLENN: Does it come with any prize money?

STU: Yes. You have $3.9 million given to you but, of course, you'll be donating that to your charity of choice.

GLENN: Yes, my children.

STU: Of course. And also, Glenn, remember we did e‑mail your office for comment and they just responded with one word: Wow.

GLENN: All right. Thank you very much. The valedictorian now of Cambridge and Harvard.

PAT: Wow. Has that ever happened before? I don't think that's ‑‑

GLENN: I don't think it has.

PAT: I don't think that's ever happened.

GLENN: Now, I don't mean to boast here but I've won two valedictorians and I'm going to put them proudly, I'm going to put them proudly on my ‑‑ no, I'm sorry. I keep thinking that I get the people, but I don't get ‑‑

PAT: No, you don't get the people.

GLENN: All right. So I don't even know what shape that is or what it looks like or ‑‑ I mean, is there a certificate that comes with that? I don't know. But I don't mean to brag here, but I believe I'm the only one to not attend Harvard or Cambridge and become their valedictorian.

WATCH: This is why Eric Weinstein is FINALLY talking to Glenn Beck

Eric Weinstein, managing director of investment firm Thiel Capital and host of "The Portal" podcast, is not a conservative, but he says conservative and center-right-affiliated media are the only ones who will still allow oppositional voices.

On "The Glenn Beck Podcast" this week, Eric told Glenn that the center-left media, which "controls the official version of events for the country," once welcomed him, but that all changed about eight years ago when they started avoiding any kind of criticism by branding those who disagree with them as "alt-right, far-right, neo-Nazi, etc.," even if they are coming from the left side of the aisle. But their efforts to discredit critical opinions don't stop there. According to Eric, there is a strategy being employed to destroy our national culture and make sure Americans with opposing views do not come together.

"We're trifling with the disillusionment of our national culture. And our national culture is what animates the country. If we lose the culture, the documents will not save us," Eric said. "I have a very strongly strategic perspective, which is that you save things up for an emergency. Well, we're there now."

In the clip below, Eric explains why, after many requests over the last few years, he finally agreed to this podcast.

Glenn Beck: Why MLK's pledge of NONVIOLENCE is the key to saving America

Listen to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s pledge of nonviolence and really let it sink in: "Remember always that the nonviolent movement seeks justice and reconciliation — not victory."

On the radio program, Glenn Beck shared King's "ten commandments" of nonviolence and the meaning behind the powerful words you may never have noticed before.

"People will say nonviolent resistance is a method of cowards. It is not. It takes more courage to stand there when people are threatening you," Glenn said. "You're not necessarily the one who is going to win. You may lose. But you are standing up with courage for the ideas that you espouse. And the minute you engage in the kind of activity that the other side is engaging in, you discredit the movement. You discredit everything we believe in."

Take MLK's words to heart, America. We must stand with courage, nonviolently, with love for all, and strive for peace and rule of law, not "winning."

Section 230 reform or antitrust laws  — how do we STOP Big Tech censorship?

Conservatives are between a rock and a hard place with Section 230 and Big Tech censorship. We don't want more government regulation, but have we moved beyond the ability of Section 230 reforms to rein in Big Tech's rising power?

Rachel Bovard, Conservative Partnership Institute's senior director of policy, joined the Glenn Beck radio program to give her thoughts and propose a possibly bipartisan alternative: enforcing our existing antitrust laws.

'You have no idea how bad this was': Dan Bongino details behind-the-scenes 'smear campaigns' against Parler

Dan Bongino, host of The Dan Bongino Show, is an investor in Parler — the social media platform that actually believes in free speech. Parler was attacked by Big Tech — namely Amazon, Apple, and Google — earlier this week, but Bongino says the company isn't giving up without a fight. In fact, he says, he's willing to go bankrupt over this one.

Dan joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to detail what he calls a "smear" campaign behind the scenes, and how he believes we can move forward from Big Tech's control.

"You have no idea how bad this was behind the scenes," Dan told Glenn. "I know you're probably thinking ... well, how much worse can the attack on Parler have gotten than three trillion-dollar companies — Amazon, Apple, and Google — all seemingly coordinated to remove your business from the face of the Earth? Well, behind the scenes, it's even worse. I mean, there are smear campaigns, pressure campaigns ... lawyers, bankers, everyone, to get this company ... wiped from the face of the earth. It's incredible."

Dan emphasized that he would not give up without a fight, because what's he's really fighting for is the right to free speech for all Americans, regardless of their political opinions, without fear of being banned, blacklisted, or losing jobs and businesses.

"I will go bankrupt. I will go absolutely destitute before I let this go," he said. "I have had some very scary moments in my life and they put horse blinders on me. I know what matters now. It's not money. It's not houses. It's none of that crap. It's this: the ability to exist in a free country, where you can express your ideas freely."
