Glenn Beck: Richard Blumenthal- misspoke?

May 19, 2010
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

GLENN: We have the Richard Blumenthal thing, and this is why I'm not talking much about the elections today. I'm going to leave that to Bret Baier and Sean Hannity on television and Rush Limbaugh on radio. I'm not talking much about it because I see some of the candidates that are out there and I don't think Richard Blumenthal's going to help us too much. How about you?

PAT: I don't think so.

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: This is what he said a couple of days ago, of course.

BLUMENTHAL: We have learned something very important since the days that I served in Vietnam.

PAT: Okay. We learned

GLENN: Wait a minute. Play it again.

PAT: You want to make sure of what he said?

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: Okay. Here it is.

BLUMENTHAL: We have learned something very important since the days that I've served in Vietnam.

GLENN: Since the days I've served in Vietnam.

PAT: In Vietnam. Okay.

GLENN: Now, the problem is he didn't — he received five deferments. So he didn't serve in Vietnam. Here's what he said yesterday surrounded by a bunch of people dressed in VFW outfits.

BLUMENTHAL: Now, on a few occasions I have misspoken about my service.

PAT: I knew it.

GLENN: Okay, hang on just a second. Hang on just a second.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: On a few occasions.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Not just once.

PAT: You know that's because he's done it before.

STU: Oh, they have video, yeah, they have tape of other times.

GLENN: On a few occasions. I can understand misspeaking —

PAT: Once.

GLENN: Once.

PAT: And then you'd be careful. If somebody would have said, hey, did you say "In"? Didn't you serve "During"?

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: Do we need to send you to preposition cool?

GLENN: Well, no, he's only the attorney general. So legalese.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Okay. So on a few occasions I misspoke. That's a pretty big misstatement, but go ahead.

BLUMENTHAL: And I take full responsibility.

GLENN: Stop. For what? For misspeaking?

PAT: Yeah, you don't need to take responsibility if you misspoke, right?

GLENN: You don't need to take responsibility.

PAT: I'm sorry; I misspoke.

STU: Who else is going to take responsibility for you misspeaking? Is there another option other than you?

PAT: If I say crap instead of crumb, I'm going to say, crap, I misspoke. I'm not going to apologize for it.

STU: If you say crumb, I misspoke, then it would really be bad.

GLENN: Right. It would be really bad because then you would have to apologize because you did it twice.

PAT: And then I misspoke twice.

BLUMENTHAL: And I will not allow.

PAT: Oh, he won't allow.

GLENN: Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop. He's getting applause. I misspoke on several occasions.

PAT: Yea! (Applause)

GLENN: There's a brave politician!

BLUMENTHAL: Anyone can take a few misplaced words and impugn my record of service.

(Applause)

PAT: No impugning, yeah!

GLENN: Dirt bag politician for president! Dirt bag politician for president!

BLUMENTHAL: And I am proud of it.

PAT: He's proud. Well, I'm proud of him for being proud of it.

GLENN: I'm proud of him for being brave enough to say that he misspoke on several occasions.

PAT: You are not as proud of him as I'm proud that he was also proud that he served in the Reserves but just misspoke about his service.

GLENN: Well, I am not as proud as you are on that.

PAT: No.

GLENN: But you can't compare my pride to your pride on how proud I am of him not letting people impugn those five deferments.

STU: See, I'm mostly proud about the fact that he's proud now only that he's discovered he's proud about being proud after the fact.

PAT: Right.

STU: When he was proud that he's caught. Not that he was proud earlier when he realized it but now that he's caught, he's proud.

PAT: But how proud are you that he's proud of those who actually did serve in their pride in serving in Vietnam even though he's proud of not having served in Vietnam but rather during Vietnam.

STU: Proudly.

GLENN: That is fantastic.

PAT: I'm proud that he doesn't know his prepositions.

GLENN: Can I tell you something? Can I tell you something? Whatever happened? I am so, here's — let me boil it down. I am proud to be a part of a group called media that is so proud of their service to our country to make sure to point out that George Bush never flew in Vietnam.

PAT: Yeah!

GLENN: Never flew anywhere. Was just in the National Guard, you know, actually doing stuff in the National Guard.

PAT: Oh, and he was awful.

GLENN: Oh, he was awful and they went and they investigated and they got those Dan Rather actually was willing to lose his job over it because it was that important.

PAT: How proud were you of Dan? I was so proud. I was proud of Dan.

GLENN: I was proud of Dan.

PAT: Proud of the media.

GLENN: And now I am so proud that they don't give a rat's ass about this guy. That's what I am really —

PAT: Yeah!

GLENN: Yeah! More dirtbags in Washington.

'YOUR voice makes a difference': Coca-Cola takes a 'pause' on woke initiatives after BIG boycott

Earlier this year, Coca-Cola became the poster child for how a corporation could shove leftist ideologies onto its consumers. The company suspended advertising on Facebook in a push to censor former President Donald Trump, published a manifesto about racial equity, and demanded all legal teams working for Coke meet certain diversity quotas.

But now, after Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and many other conservative voices called for a boycott of the company's products, Coca-Cola appears to be shifting directions.

The Washington Examiner reported that the company issued a conciliatory statement after conspicuously failing to appear on a published list of hundreds of corporations and individuals that signed a statement denouncing the Georgia voting bill.

"We believe the best way to make progress now is for everyone to come together and listen respectfully, share concerns, and collaborate on a path forward. We remained open and productive conversations with advocacy groups and lawmakers who may have differing views," the company said. "It's time to find common ground. In the end, we all want the same thing – free and fair elections, the cornerstone of our democracy."

Then last week, Coca-Cola Co.'s new general counsel, Monica Howard Douglas, told members of the company's global legal team that the diversity initiative announced by her predecessor, Bradley Gayton, is "taking a pause for now." Gayton resigned unexpectedly from the position on April 21, after only eight months on the job, to serve as a strategic consultant to Chairman and CEO James Quincey.

"Why is Coca-Cola 'taking a pause' on all of these? Because you have been standing up," Glenn Beck said on the radio program Monday. "You and others have been standing up. Your voice, it's the power of one. Your voice makes a difference."

'The problem is NOT racial': Bob Woodson, civil rights activist who survived segregation, counters 'race grievance' LIES

This week on "The Glenn Beck Podcast," civil rights activist and Woodson Center founder Bob Woodson joined Glenn to call out the leftists in the "race grievance industry," like the Rev. Al Sharpton and Black Lives Matter, Inc., who, he says, are "profiting off the misery of their people."

Woodson lived through the appalling segregation laws of the last century and has a much different message about what it means to be "oppressed" than the so-called "anti-racist" activists today.

Woodson said he believes the real struggle for impoverished minority communities "is not racial." He argued that leftists "at the top" derive "moral authority" by claiming to represent "so called marginalized groups," while they prosper at the expense of those "at the bottom."

"There's nothing worse than self-flagellating guilty white people and rich, angry black people who profit off the misery of their people," Woodson said.

"I call what Sharpton and some of those are doing is worse than bigotry. It's treason. It's moral treason against their own people," he added. "The only time you hear from them is when a white police officer kills a black person, which happens maybe 20 or 21 times a year, but 6,000 blacks are killed each year by other blacks. So, in other words, their message is black lives only matter when taken by someone white, which means you are betraying the black community when you turn your back on 20 children that are slaughtered and you don't march in that community and demand that those killers be turned over to the police."

'The problem is not racial," Woodson asserted. "The problem is the challenge of upward mobility. Any time you generalize about a group of people, blacks, whites, Native American, and then you try to apply remedies, it always benefits those at the top at the expense of those at the bottom. ... It's a bait and switch game where you're using the demographics of the worst of these, to get resources that helps the best of these, or those who are prospering at the top. So, if I was the president, I would say an end to the race grievance business, that America should concentrate on the moral and spiritual free fall that is consuming people at the bottom."

Mark Levin decodes Biden’s first address to Congress, EXPOSES radical plans for our country

Image source: Video screenshot

Following President Joe Biden's first joint address to Congress, Glenn Beck joined fellow BlazeTV host and author of the new book, "American Marxism," Mark Levin to expose what they called the "Liar-In-Chief's" radical plans for our country and to explain why the far Left's proposals and programs are really a "frontal attack" on our Constitution, our country, and our way of life.

"Substantively, this is a frontal attack on our Constitutional system of limited government. It is a frontal attack on our capitalist system. He's basically throwing out all the bromides for the radical left groups that now form the base of the modern Democrat Party. And I make the case that ... this is Marxist bullcrap in its broadest sense," Levin stated.

"Here we are, a country now where one man can get up in the middle of the night and make a list of everything he wants to do to the country," he added, speaking figuratively. "It's like an unreality where we're living in separate worlds ... the whole thing is a fraud."

Watch the video clip below to hear Levin expose the lies and misinformation in Biden's speech and explain why he believes the true message is absolutely chilling for the future of our nation:

Biden's Big Speech: The Glenn Beck & Mark Levin Rebuttal

After months of delays and COVID-19 excuses, President Biden finally delivers his address to the joint session of Congress. It is a truly historic moment, as only a few hundred members of Congress received an invite. While some have compared this speech to JFK's moon landing challenge, it will likely be more like FDR's New Deal nightmare. Will Speaker Pelosi continue her tradition of ripping up the president's speech? Will VP Harris cackle to a quiet audience?

Glenn Beck teams up with fellow BlazeTV host Mark Levin, author of the new book "American Marxism," to take on the progressive plans that could completely transform our economy and our way of life. Steve Deace, BlazeTV host and author of "Faucian Bargain," joins to discuss why it's not enough for conservatives to just lament the dangerous Democrat agenda; we must activate against the woke infection of our institutions. Plus, a power panel to rival CNN talking heads: Stu Burguiere, BlazeTV host of "Stu Does America," and Jason Buttrill, head researcher and writer for Glenn Beck.
