The Glenn Beck staff performs an on air intervention

January 30, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program




The staff would like to see the happy Glenn Beck, that plays with dolls at Super Bowl parties, come back...

GLENN: Well, here we go. The scourging news of --

STU: Hey, Glenn.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: I don't mean to interrupt you here -- well, I do. That's exactly why I did it. The reason why I did it is because we feel that we need to have an intervention.

DAN: All of us. We're all here.

STU: We're all your friends. We care about you and we don't want to see you --

SARAH: I'm here for you.

STU: See, we love you, Glenn, at least we love the salaries you pay us. We don't want to see --

GLENN: You don't actually love me.

STU: We're just going to leave that one unanswered.

DAN: Don't look into that.

STU: There's no need. This isn't about us. It's about you.

GLENN: It's about me.

STU: And we care about you in some ways and we believe that perhaps we've noticed a slight change in the attitude. I know you are bleeding internally and I know --

GLENN: I'm literally bleeding internally, literally bleeding internally, yes.

DAN: You've had some trouble sleeping, we understand. We just think, you know --

STU: We've noticed a harshness that has occurred.

DAN: It's going south, your attitude. It seems to be --

STU: There have been words used by you that are hurtful and constant lately.

DAN: And not becoming of the new Glenn Beck.

STU: No, because I remember you saying, you know, that you were changing your ways and it was more of a positive Glenn Beck.

GLENN: That was really a long time ago. That was a long time ago. That was before the McCain win.

STU: No, I mean, I do realize that.

GLENN: I mean, I'm just using the -- you know, I'm just using Republican language. I mean, I believed in that yesterday but today I believe the exact opposite.

STU: You flip-flopped. Listen --

GLENN: No. I've just changed what I believe. I was strongly trying to be a good person yesterday. Today not so much.

STU: Would you say that we might be able to get a -- turning down the harshness of Glenn Beck just a couple of notches today?



STU: That's a good point, Dan. He sounds like a crotchety old man that's angry.

GLENN: What have I done?

STU: I'm just saying that maybe you've been calling people son of a bitch like crazy and you've been saying everything is damn this and damn that and I --

GLENN: Really?

STU: Yes, all over the board.

DAN: You are not 87 years old yet.

STU: You sound like, that's exactly -- that's a good point, Dan. He sounds like a crotchety old man that's angry.

GLENN: I am angry today.

STU: Can you calm down a little?

GLENN: Wait, wait. Has this been going on a long time?

STU: There's been a slow increase over the past couple of weeks especially with your illness. I think your filters are turning off.

GLENN: Because I'm not even filtering my blood. My blood is being filtered by, like, my skin now. It's just --

STU: Can't you just kind of, you know, recognize some of the absurdity of what we're going through here, we have a good time with it and we just, you know, hey, everyone likes each other and, you know, the nice kind.

GLENN: But they don't like each other.

STU: I'm saying you, not they. There's no they, Glenn. Who is they? Everyone likes you. We're friends here. Sarah's right here. She hasn't said anything but she's right here.

SARAH: Hi, Glenn, yeah.

STU: See, she's right here. We asked her, we forced her to come in here so there would be a girl voice in the room.

GLENN: Are you being forced in this, Sarah?

SARAH: No, not at all. I'm here for you. I'm worried about you.

GLENN: I think she's -- I think that's a recording of Sarah.

STU: Maybe.

GLENN: I think you forced her to say those things and you bound her up and you put her in a closet.

STU: Well, she wouldn't have said them if we told her the context. I'm just saying that we just need a little bit of the smooth -- can you mellow out? Is there any tea you can have?

GLENN: So what you're saying --

STU: Is there a nice soft, you know, like one of those chamomile, do you have any chamomile?

GLENN: So maybe what you're saying is like in alcoholic meetings where I was really bummed when I first went because I thought we talked about which drinks were our favorite drinks. They don't do that.

STU: No.

GLENN: That's a trick just to get you in.

STU: Right.

GLENN: What they'll say is some days you'll get there and you'll be like what you're saying I am now and they will say, hey, Glenn, maybe today is a day you should shut up and just listen.

STU: Yes, I love this idea. Why don't you just listen. I would say that you should not be held responsible for anything that you've said today or will say in the future and maybe you should just listen to callers. What are they thinking, Glenn? What are they feeling today?

Alan Dershowitz: 'It's clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL' to impeach Trump after leaving office

As the Senate prepares for former President Trump's second impeachment trial, many are asking whether it's constitutional to try a president after leaving office. Alan Dershowitz, lawyer and host of the of "The Dershow," joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to talk about the legal battles Trump still faces.

Dershowitz said he believes the Senate doesn't have the authority to convict Trump, now that he's a private citizen again, and thus can't use impeachment to bar him from running for office again.

"The Constitution says the purpose of impeachment is to remove somebody. He [Trump] is out of office. There's nothing left to do.
It doesn't say you can impeach him to disqualify him for the future. It says, if you remove him you can then add disqualification, but you can't just impeach somebody to disqualify them," Dershowitz said.

"The Senate can't try ordinary citizens. So once you're an ordinary citizen, you get tried only in the courts, not in the Senate. So it's clearly unconstitutional," he added.

Dershowitz, who served on Trump's legal team during the first impeachment trial, also discussed whether he thinks Trump is legally (or even just ethically) responsible for the Capitol riot earlier this month, and whether those engaging in violence could be considered "domestic terrorists."

SHOCKING POLL: Majority of Americans think 'other Americans' are greatest risk to US

A new, shocking CBS News poll shows that the majority of Americans believe they're facing a new enemy: other Americans.

More than two-thirds of poll respondents said they believe democracy in the U.S. is "threatened," and 54% said "other people in America" are the "biggest threat to the American way of life," rather than economic factors, viruses, natural disasters, or foreign actors.

Will it be possible to unite our nation with statistics like that? On "The Glenn Beck Radio Program," Glenn and Stu discussed the poll numbers and what they mean for our future.

'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."
