Retrospective: my favorite Joy Behar lie

November 21, 2011
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

Joy Behar's show is going away at the end of the year on HLN.

 

---Your first question is probably--"who is Joy Behar?"  A: She, I think, was a comedian or something at one point, and she's also the craziest member of the View.

---Your second question is probably: "She had a show on HLN?"  A: Yes.

---Your 3rd question is probably: "How the hell did her show last this long?"  A: You can chalk that up to the fact that they had a great staff that was actually able to take her invisible talents and turn it into something that actually lasted for a couple of years.  A lot of them used to work with us when we were at HLN, and they were great.

Joy, however, is just not that bright.  And she lies a lot.  But, that's been documented a million times.  My favorite has to be her appearance on Leno a while back.  First, her justification for talking about Glenn on Leno:

JOY BEHAR: But um, he does, he talks about me. I'm on his list of 'I hate Glenn Beck.' It's like being on Nixon's enemies list. I loved it.

Hmmmm...I went back and checked to see if Glenn had ever mentioned Joy Behar on his Fox News show before this interview happened.  I couldn't find one mention.  Not one.  Maybe there was one somewhere, but I couldn't find it.  What she was referring to was a list of people bashing Glenn that one of our producers put together, of which Joy occupied about three seconds.  It might surprise some, but Glenn isn't actually sitting in the edit room picking each individual clip of Glenn-bashers that airs on his show.   Regardless, here's how the conversation ended up:

JAY LENO: I heard Glenn Beck was talking about you on his show.

JOY BEHAR: Oh, yeah, Glenn Beck. ... (awful joke)...But um, he does, he talks about me. I'm on his list of 'I hate Glenn Beck.' It's like being on Nixon's enemies list. I loved it. But, I mean, I don't hate him. I don't hate him...I don't hate him and I want him to know that. Where is it?

LENO: Right there.

BEHAR: Over here? OK. Glenn, listen, I don't hate you. Sincerely, Glenn Beck, from the bottom of my heart, I don't hate you. I don't give a flying f--- about you.

You can still see the video here, if you wish.

Back when I heard that clip, I thought is was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard.  She seemed to me to be completely obsessed with Glenn.  I can't say I watched the show every night, or ever, but there did seem to be a decent amount of clips on the internet of her bashing Glenn.  Why would that be, if she didn't give a "flying f---" about him?

 

So, I off-handedly tasked an intern to see if she really was obsessing as much as I thought.  Alas, I was mistaken.  Joy really didn't give a "flying f---" about Glenn.  Which is why she only talked about him on a couple of shows, 9-27-09 and 9-30-09.

 

Well, and the shows on 10-7, 10-13, and 10-14-09.

 

And 10-21, 10-22, 11-11, 11-17, 11-18, 11-23, 11-25, 11-30, 12-1, and 12-23-09 .

 

Oh, and of course she showed her complete indifference to Glenn on 1-21, 1-25, 2-4, 2-23, 3-10, 3-11, 3-22, 3-25, 4-6, 4-13, 4-19, 4-21, 4-29, 4-30, 5-6, 5-10, 6-1, 6-7, 6-28, 6-29, 7-6, 7-21, 7-26, 7-28, 8-2, 9-3, 9-10, 9-13, 9-22, 9-27, 9-29, 10-4, 10-14, 10-16, 10-18, 11-1, 11-5, and 11-11-10.

 

It was at this point, I told our intern to stop bothering.  You get the point.  Glenn Beck should have received a restraining order against Joy Behar she talked about him so much.

If Joy Behar really didn't give a "flying f---" about Glenn, creepily obsessing about him on every other episode is a really strange way of showing it.

 

'They've taken away the symbol of the American flag': Restaurant owner speaks out after being FINED for flying flags on July 4

Terry Trobiani owns Gianelli's Drive Thru in Prairie Grove, Illinois, where he put up a row of American flags for the Fourth of July. But the city claimed he was displaying two of them improperly and issued him a $100 ticket for each flag.

Terry joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday to explain what he believes really happened. He told Glenn that, according to city ordinance, the American flag is considered "ornamental" and should therefore have been permitted on a federal holiday. But the city has now classified the flag as a "sign."

"Apparently, the village of Prairie Grove has classified the American flag as a sign and they've taken away the symbol of the American flag," Terry said. "So, as a sign, it falls under their temporary sign ordinance, which prohibits any flying, or any positioning of signs on your property — and now this includes the American flag. [...] The only way I could fly the American flag on my property is if I put it on a permanent 20 to 30-foot flagpole, which they have to permit."

Terry went on to explain how the city is now demanding an apology for his actions, and all after more than a year of small-business crushing COVID restrictions and government mandates.

"COVID was tough," Terry stated. "You know, we're in the restaurant business. COVID was tough on us. We succeeded. We made it through. We cut a lot of things, but we never cut an employee. We paid all our employees. I didn't take a paycheck for a year just to keep our employees on, because it was that important to me to keep things going. And, you know, you fight for a year, and you beat a pandemic, and then you have this little municipality with five trustees and a president, who just have no respect for small businesses. And right now, what I see is they have no respect for the republic and the United States ... I think it's terrible. The direction that government, at all levels, have taken us to this point, it's despicable."

North Korean's URGENT warning: THIS is why freedom of speech is so important

The Biden administration is now doing everything it can to censor what it has decided is COVID-19 "misinformation." But Glenn Beck isn't confident that the silencing of voices will stop there.

Yeonmi Park grew up in North Korea, where there is no freedom of speech, and she joined Glenn to warn that America must not let this freedom go.

"Whenever authoritarianism rises, the first thing they go after is freedom of speech," she said.

Critical race theory: The revolution of constant whining

Flickr/GaryStevens

Most self-proclaimed Marxists know very little about Marxism. Some of them have all the buzzwords memorized. They talk about the exploits of labor. They talk about the slavery of capitalist society and the alienation caused by capital. They talk about the evils of power and domination.

But they don't actually believe what they say. Or else they wouldn't be such violent hypocrites. And we're not being dramatic when we say "violent."

For them, Marxism is a political tool that they use to degrade and annoy their political enemies.

They don't actually care about the working class.

Another important thing to remember about Marxists is that they talk about how they want to defend the working class, but they don't actually understand the working class. They definitely don't realize that the working class is composed mostly of so many of the people they hate. Because, here's the thing, they don't actually care about the working class. Or the middle class. They wouldn't have the slightest clue how to actually work, not the way we do. For them, work involves ranting about how work and labor are evil.

Ironically, if their communist utopia actually arrived, they would be the first ones against the wall. Because they have nothing to offer except dissent. They have no practical use and no real connection to reality.

Again ironically, they are the ultimate proof of the success of capitalism. The fact that they can freely call for its demise, in tweets that they send from their capitalistic iPhones, is proof that capitalism affords them tremendous luxuries.

Their specialty is complaining. They are fanatics of a religion that is endlessly cynical.

They sneer at Christianity for promising Heaven in exchange for good deeds on earth — which is a terrible description of Christianity, but it's what they actually believe — and at the same time they criticize Christianity for promising a utopia, they give their unconditional devotion to a religion that promises a utopia.

They are fanatics of a religion that is endlessly cynical.

They think capitalism has turned us into machines. Which is a bad interpretation of Marx's concept of the General Intellect, the idea that humans are the ones who create machines, so humans, not God, are the creators.

They think that the only way to achieve the perfect society is by radically changing and even destroying the current society. It's what they mean when they say things about the "status quo" and "hegemony" and the "established order." They believe that the system is broken and the way to fix it is to destroy, destroy, destroy.

Critical race theory actually takes it a step farther. It tells us that the racist system can never be changed. That racism is the original sin that white people can never overcome. Of course, critical race theorists suggest "alternative institutions," but these "alternative institutions" are basically the same as the ones we have now, only less effective and actually racist.

Marx's violent revolution never happened. Or at least it never succeeded. Marx's followers have had to take a different approach. And now, we are living through the Revolution of Constant Whining.

This post is part of a series on critical race theory. Read the full series here.

Will we EVER see justice in the FBI, Trump, Russia investigation?

Americans are losing faith in our justice system and the idea that legal consequences are applied equally — even to powerful elites in office.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to detail what he believes will come next with the Durham investigation, which hopefully will provide answers to the Obama FBI's alleged attempts to sabotage former President Donald Trump and his campaign years ago.

Rep. Nunes and Glenn assert that we know Trump did NOT collude with Russia, and that several members of the FBI possibly committed huge abuses of power. So, when will we see justice?
