Glenn Beck's Common Sense


Available in book stores nationwide...

GLENN: 888 727 BECK, 888 727 BECK. Let's go to Beth. Hello, Beth, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

CALLER: Hi, how are you?

GLENN: I'm good, how are you?

CALLER: I'm fine. I know that you're coming to the Villages in Florida, and I plan on seeing you.

GLENN: Yes.

CALLER: And I hope I can get you to autograph my book Arguing With Idiots because I think I'm an expert now. I actually spoke with Alan Grayson, and he left the room.

GLENN: What happened?

STU: Wow.

GLENN: What happened?

CALLER: Well, it was rather interesting. I had been to Washington D.C. on September the 12th, and I also came back on November the 5th. And usually do not catch the congressmen in their offices. Usually just leave a note and if you want to, you leave a letter, you sign in on a log. And while I was there, he just happened to come inside the room, and I think it was a staged situation because he had two or three gentlemen there that worked for him with cameras. And he asked how he could help and I said, I would like to talk to him about the healthcare bill. So he was very nice in the beginning and he sat down to go over the healthcare bill with me, and the first thing he wanted to do I actually invited several people in from the hallway because they were looking into the room and did not know what was going on and I told them they could come in, also. And he wanted to start off the conversation with what the government would be giving us, and he used the word "Giving" at least three times. And I told him that the government was not giving us anything, that the taxpayers were paying for it. He wanted to tell me I was wrong.

PAT: Oh, my gosh.

GLENN: How wait, wait, wait. How were you wrong? The taxpayers are paying for it.

CALLER: He said that

GLENN: Who is paying for it? Magic fairy money pulling it out of Barney Frank's pants?

CALLER: Probably from what they've already looted us out of money anyway.

GLENN: You know, the American taxpayers' wallets are almost empty. I guess we should start going after maybe Charlie Rangel's pants.

PAT: Does he not understand the concept that deficit neutral, I mean, even if you buy into that concept, it's not the same as nobody pays. It costs $1.3 trillion. Somebody pays.

CALLER: He told myself and the other people in the room that it would pay for itself within ten years.

GLENN: Really? Does it have a job?

CALLER: (Laughing). And he also wanted to say that the pharmaceutical companies would be paying for it. And again I told him that wasn't the case. Well, he switched gears to shut me up. So when I got another chance to ask him and thank God for you and people out there that put information out about the healthcare bill and everything else that's going on. You're educating us.

GLENN: Yes.

CALLER: And I just happened to have a list, a reading guide to Pelosi's health reform bill, and it had the page numbers and the situations going on with it.

GLENN: Yes.

CALLER: So I then asked him about illegal immigrants being covered. And he said that on Page 642 it stated that illegal immigrants would not be covered. And when I asked him if everybody would be IDed when they went in for healthcare, he said of course not. So I stated then they will be covered. Again he switched gears. The final thing that I asked that set him off and caused him just to go crazy was whenever I asked about the healthcare coverage and congress being covered by it. And I asked him if he and his family would have the same exact healthcare coverage that they were expecting the rest of the Americans to have. He started spinning the truth and he said that he is already covered with what you people consider socialized medicine and will be. When I caught him spinning the truth, I asked him the question again, and I was very, very specific in what I asked, and I made sure I asked him the exact same coverage, without the public option. And he said yes. So I asked him if he would mind signing the back of a piece of paper. I flipped my notes over, asked him if he would write that out and put it, sign his name to it. He went crazy. He demanded that I leave his office, started screaming and yelling at me.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: And yes. But I did question with boldness. Thank you for that. And I said I didn't deserve to leave because I didn't do anything but ask a question. He told me that I would either leave or he would leave. He got up and left the room and slammed the door on us all.

GLENN: Wow.

CALLER: And when he came back home, checked his website, he had a note to people about Grayson welcomes healthcare protestors. He claimed that we all became unruly and threatening and even said he got a death threat which did not happen.

GLENN: You know what? I have to tell you it is unbelievable. You know, Barack Obama's arm, political arm said those very things, that they have been physically threatened, they have been physically threatened and even roughed up. I'd like to see where they have been roughed up. Show me that evidence. And if you want to see threats, you want to see death threats? I invite you, White House, to read my mail.

'The cult of Trump': As Biden era begins, calls grow louder to 'deprogram' Trump supporters

Countless leaders on the left are now arguing that removing President Donald Trump from office won't be enough — they're now calling for the president's "cult-like" supporters to be "deprogrammed." And it's not just fringe politicians.

During an appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week, former NBC anchor Katie Couric said, "The question is, how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump."

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi questioned whether the nation needs "a 9/11-type commission" to determine whether President Trump was colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin "the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol." Clinton also made sure to include her favorite "deplorables" in her unsubstantiated conspiracy theory:

"But we now know that not just [Trump] but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy," Clinton said to Pelosi.

Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and New York Times Magazine's Nikole Hannah-Jones agreed that there is a need for "millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republicans" to be deprogrammed and punished, during an MSNBC interview last week.

Now, a story from the Washington Post is also preaching that narrative and even added that we need more restrictions for conservatives on social media and in the broadcast industry.

"So now we have to be deprogrammed? We've heard this over and over and over and over again, for months," said Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday. He read through the shocking details of the Washington Post op-ed and discussed the extraordinary dangers of the latest anti-conservative movement in America.

'We are the Alamo, we will stand': As calls for censorship get louder, Glenn Beck urges Americans to stand together

As calls for censorship and restrictions against conservative voices get louder, Glenn Beck said he feels an "awesome responsibility" to speak, not the words he'd personally like to say, but those he believes the Lord would want him to share.

"It's an awesome responsibility, and one that I am not worthy of," Glenn said. "I want to say ... what He wants me to say. And I have to listen very carefully, because I feel the same way you do. But that will get us nowhere."

Glenn said it's time for Americans who are awake — not woke — to come together, no matter which side of the political aisle you're on, and stand with the truth.

"We are the Alamo, we will stand. But we desperately, desperately need you," Glenn said. "We need the people who are awake — not woke — awake. You may disagree with us. We are your allies, not your enemies. And if you will not stand with us in our hour of need, there will be no one left to stand with you in your hour of need. We must all come together, anyone who is awake."

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.
