9/18: Remember to Look at the Big Picture

beck_big_pictureBeck: You know, when I first started this show, I told you that my goal was to always tell the truth as I understand it.

But also, to do something different. The fringe media just touches on things — they don’t see the big picture.

    While this all makes a LOT of sense, I suspect this goes perhaps even deeper. Once you get into people like Soros funding these organizations, you have to look into why foreign interests are so interested. Then you see how deeply GE is involved (alongside Obama) as they shape foreign agendas and their profit worldwide they could receive should the cap & trade succeed. Watch as Obama meets with the U.N. General Assembly this week. I believe the people behind Obama have an even broader global agenda which includes reducing our economic viability in order to achieve their goals.

      mr beck talks about “fringe media” as if he doesn’t realize that he – is – the fringe media.

      sometimes there’s a faint glimmer of truth to some of what he says, but most is simply the paranoid raving of a poorly educated individual with nothing in his background to even vaguely qualify him to make the assertions he makes.

      you would all do better to spend your time reading your health insurance policy, which 90% or more of you have never even seen, because your company and its insurer try to make it difficult for you to see it. you will learn more from a couple hours there than all day on this site. then you will learn why you are being herded like sheep by big pharma and the insurance cos. — the things you fear about the current reform plans are nothing more than what you are living with today, jut in the form of private cos. instead. what makes them better suited to decide what treatment you get?

      study up on this, put your paranoia behind you, and learn, learn, learn.

        My comments seem to have been removed by the moderators. Unfortunate, since my comments were far more civil, and more civilly stated, than many, if not most, of the ones posted below. My comments were an educated man’s reply to wstr’s comments of 9/21/09 at 8:33 PM, in which he/she declared that Glenn was “unqualified” to make the assertions he makes, based upon Glenn’s lack of formal education (indoctrination), referring to Glenn as “a poorly educated individual.” My reply was that of a person who has been through that system, including my having a Master’s degree from it, that I find Glenn’s position very much qualified, in, at least, that he usually has also supplied a reading list from individual authors who also have been through that formal system. I also added a couple additional authors, such as Roger Kimball (author of “The Long March”) and Myron Magnet (author of “The Dream and the Nightmare”), regarding the history of the Left, to Glenn’s own bibliographic recommendations, including David Horowitz (author of “Left Illusions”) and Ronald Pestritto (author of “Woodrow Wilson and the Roots of Modern Liberalism”), to whom Glenn alludes in his commentary(ies). All of these authors have also been through the formal system. You can imagine my dismay upon finding my comments totally absent from this discourse, considering some of the comments below. It makes me suspicious regarding the moderators, and whether their purpose is truly to educate, or just to allow a typical “blog,” most of which are completely useless, and only serve the Left’s purposes by engaging individuals with whom they disagree by distracting them into things which do not matter, when they should be “out there,” “fighting the good fight.” If my comments, including last night’s, are not to be allowed, please send them back to me, at the email address I have provided, so I may use them in my book, along with their source. Thank you.

    I think what is really needed are people with a conscience, resolve and involvement. Does that exist in American politics or media? Does it still exist in main-stream American society? I watch the programs, I read the blogs (both sides), and one thing is paramount. American ignorance and apathy cannot be countered or corrected with a) shouting, b) posturing, c) misrepresentation. I think it is a good thing that people are becoming interested in politics. We have left it very late indeed. But they should be IN politics, not commenting on the fringe. We let other people do our thinking, our research, and our representation, and then cry ware! cheat! It’s time EVERY American stood up to the plate, and took a turn at batting. We rely on “everybody else”, when this country was founded by self-reliant people. It would be a good idea if well-meaning bloggers stopped arguing emotionally with half-informed (or uninformed) OPINIONS and instead started arguing FACTS. Oh, yeah… that takes EFFORT and COMMITTMENT. We are ALL responsible for our future. If it looks grim, it’s because we haven’t put our time, our effort, or our money where our mouth is. Let’s work together for a rational solution, one that leaves name calling, bias, supposition, and absolute falsehood out of the equation. Glen Beck is a commentator, but I’d like to think that he is doing his program from a sense of urgency and committment, not just gain or opportunism. You have to ask yourself… Is he getting results? Is he moving the sludge that has been substituted for American cooperation, involvement and ingenuity? Is he encouraging assiduous involvement in policing our government and it’s so-called representatives? Is he promoting self governance and individual responsibility? Then regardless of his motivations, and you can only SPECULATE on that, the proof is in the results. Regardless of your perspective, if you are truthful with yourself, you have to admit that we have been standing on the sidelines, or completely out of the loop for too long and are reaping what we’ve sown. If you are truthful and informed, you have to admit that we have lost our representation in this country and are being lead by self-serving, self-interested people who are misrepresenting all Americans for their own personal gain. I don’t think you will find ANY informed American who will disagree with that. It’s time we PARTICIPATED in our own society and its governance. I have one disagreement with Glen Beck’s stance… we need 304,059,724 + good, honest people to be part of the solution, not 56.

    • pedroparamo says:

      Easy to watch indeed. You might stop and ask yourself why Canada has a longer life expectancy, lower infant mortality, lower rates of obesity and, with its current system, a much smaller per capita health care price tag than the U.S.

      p.s. and it’s “contemplate” dear.

      • viper says:

        About infant mortality…. if Obama would oppose infanticide, maybe our numbers would improve.

        nice try pedro

    Another thing about the big picture…

    I’ve been hearing more and more about the “kooks on the right.”

    Yeah, sure, we have some, but I haven’t seen any lately.

    Moreover, immediately after mentioning the “kooks” the left shows video of signs like “Bury National Health Care with Kennedy.” and things like that.

    Here’s the point: The left tried to RESURRECT National Health Care IN HIS NAME! They tried the, “Let’s do it for Ted Kennedy.” So, I ask, what makes the right’s answer to that (bury it with him) so kooky?

    It’s insane to let the left define “kook” for us. They are NOTHING BUT KOOKS!!!

    Burying the health care bill with Kennedy was nothing but an answer to what the left was saying.

    • jimbo says:

      Because off hand your not supporting what that man dedicated his life to. Universal Healthcare, that was him mission.. hell on his death he sent a letter to the pope and one to the president telling them to see it threw the generate a universal healthcare plan.

      Do you understand that, the last breath he gave was, universal health care for all Americans.

      Considering what I have experanced in posting links to just a CBO report I am not going to link to the letter that the man gave to Obama and to the Pope that he drafted like the day he died or the day before.

      • viper says:

        Keep talking jimbo.

        This is GREAT stuff! (for our side, I mean)

        Such drama….

        Who was there to hear Mary Jo’s last breath? Not Ted, he was on his way back to the hotel for a good night’s sleep.

        AND, BTW jimbo, in case you’re wondering, nobody thinks that a man with brain cancer spent his last day crafting letters. He didn’t even go to his sister’s funeral.

    • jimbo says:

      If you want to know what Sacred Honor is… what Kennedy had on healthcare reform.. and a universal healthcare plan was sacred honor.

      Sacred honor means that I live I die you destroy me I go down with one word on my breath… for Kennedy it was every person in this country have access to good heathcare.

      That the sick in this country are tended to in a way that reflects our nations honor and humanity.. that was what Kennedy gave his life for.

      • viper says:

        Well, he didn’t even get wet to save Mary Jo. He wouldn’t even pick up the phone and call the police.

        So, jimbo, why do I have such a hard time connecting the dots on the words Kennedy and sacred honor?

        You’re funny. Will you be here all week?

  6. BOBPENN says:

    Glenn is right. He is echoing what is in my Heart. I am grateful that he is putting this out and that he cares about our country. He and many others are speaking up, and getting involved. I am getting involved. Glenn has brought to light a shadow government (in the making for 40 + years) that is out of control and, as we can see, this “Obama” – “Pelosi, etc”, government cannot sustain itself under public scrutiny of the Citizens of the United States of America.

    Glenn Beck, thanks for your service to your country!!

  7. Steve Kennedy says:

    Glenn,
    The tide might be turning on the “Fringe media”. This Tuesday there was a good article in the Richmond Times Dispatch by Victor Davis Hanson entitled ” Rangel Embodies D.C. Corruption”. Near the end of his article he states ” The false charge of racism has devolved into a convenient defense when elites find themselves trapped in their own self created legal and ethical messes, or things don’t go their way”.

  8. al from nj says:

    Glenn,
    Keep up the good work. Lead people to keep fighting for justice by advising them what they can personally do stop corruption in Washington.
    Keep going!

  9. sdoc says:

    ok, I just found out how Acorn was represented in court in 1994 by Obama against Citibank to fund more sub-prime loans. Thus the financial crisis, thus the takeover of citigroup, thus the precursor to the takeover of gov’t! Whoa! So many connections, so much corruption, so little time!

  10. Beef_Supreme says:

    Seriously folks I’m not just name calling here or trying to be mean. But, I have known for decades how to predict Democrats and makes sense of everything they’ve done. I can tell you how to do it also. It’s very simple… all you need do is ask yourself this question in any given situation “What would a Communist do?” you’ll be able to predict them with great accuracy. Would a Communist want a missile defense shield in Europe to protect our allies? No. Would a Communist want to cut taxation? NO. Would a Commuist want to take over the healthcare system? Yes. Would a Communist want to disarm the citizens? Yes. It really works. Try it for yourself

    • viper says:

      Beef, I agreed with you right up to the point that THIS bunch raised their ugly heads.

      Not even the communists would accept the idea that your DOG deserves legal representation.

      Even Putin goes hunting!

      The commies would NEVER bend over for the global warming idiocy.

      These fringe lunatics are significantly WORSE than a typical commie.

      I like your moniker – BEEF, it’s what’s for dinner!

  11. sdoc says:

    How about we “Audit the Fed”? Also, what about the Builderberg Group? Aren’t they behind this whole thing? Also, can we provide proof that Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii? I have heard that the Hawaiian birth certificate was his step-sister’s birth certificate changed with his information. Hmmmmm….

    • Open Eyes says:

      The Fed gives reasons for why they supposedly need to be secret about their financial s such as their balance sheet, income statement, etc. But every other public US Corporation must submit its financial statements. Why doesn’t this in effect secret organization be a public servant that shows and works in the light of day. It operates as a supposed servant of the people but it operates to create enormous debt with interest that our republic can or cannot pay back. Come out of the dark closet and lets let the light shine on it. Who is the master? The Congress or the Federal Reserve.

      Now on the idea of auditing and money. My issue with this stimulus money, AIG, ACORN, SEIU, the Apollo Alliance, George Sorros, Fannie, FredieMac, Barnie Frank, Chris Dodd, Pelosi, Harry Ried, and many of these radicals is about tracing it. I believe they are setting up bogus shell companies. And it is doubtful anyone of them will provide any real service, such as profitable solar energy, except to be some of money laundering scheme. I do not TRUST any of these people to do what is right. We ask our soldiers and every citizen who pays his taxes to account. Why are not these people accountable with funds. We are talking about our money. All the tentacles of these organizations and these people are connected to enslaving us with unbearable debt and interest obligations for decades if not a century to come. It is and will systemically bring about our demise. It is beyond the pale of what a republic is about and can withstand. It is absolutely wrong.

      If this leads to enslavement under socialism, communism, radicalism, even with the name of capitalism on any of it, it is all bad. Even if it stays as capitalism, it all bad. And this does not make any difference whether you are republican or a democrat. These people and organizations are elitists and frightening as to what they believe.

      Really, does anyone believe anyone from AIG, ACORN, SEIU, the Apollo Alliance, George Sorros, Fannie, Barnie Frank, Chris Dodd, Pelosi, Harry Ried and any of the rest of these people who were connected to the weather underground could be in the same room with our children and believe they would be safe.

      I do not!

      Can we trust these kind of people to do what is right?

      Absolutely Not!

  12. mjs1951 says:

    It’s good to head that you have researched this. It means you care. The sad truth is , this “tree” of Glenn’s is a piece of imagery which is meant to distract you from the truth. Truth is, The president has no agenda other than improving the quality of life in America. There is no conspiracy. Read about it somewhere else. Pick your news source, that is not Fox News. Read and study aa lot. If you still believe Glenn’s unfounded charges after that, Then you have earned your opinion. I can respect that.

    • Beef_Supreme says:

      I agree its no conspiracy. No more then it’s a conspiracy when a pack of wolves attack a dear for dinner. It’s just creatures moved by self interest and if you think they give a dam about you….. you better think again. Before you jump to conclusions, I’m not a Republican. I’m American and America is what I put first before any political party or the careers and fortunes of any politician or person. I am a grown adult and have no need for Government to replace my mommy and daddy. I think the founders of America would agree. It’s not governments job to be your parent and assume responsibility for you.

  14. mjs1951 says:

    Glenn, The founders of our constitution would be appalled at the way that you have bastardized and twisted their noble work. The bill of rights and constitution speak for themselves. They have served this nation well for over 200 years. Your suggestions concerning modifications of them are seditious, maybe treasonous. And for you to imply, suggest or infer that the President of the United States has communist intentions is absurd. You are a very paranoid and troubled individual. You are not a patriot. Your intentions are not in the best interests of this country.

    • txtootsie says:

      Glenn…you have wakened us. We have been asleep to long. You in your own unique way…make us think. You lay out the obvious but you let us decide.

    • The Undemocrat says:

      What part of this could you not possibly believe? The information is readily available. I was so glad when Glenn did this show with the tree showing the timeline of evildoers because it solidified my own research on this very subject. “The writing is on the wall,” so-to-speak. What part of it are you not able to connect? I think you need some time to do homework and quit believing what Obama says and watch what he does and the results of his actions.

  15. flash8811 says:

    CNN’s Rick Sanchez called FOX News liars! If you look at the big picture, Sanchez is the real liar!

  16. Arri says:

    I completely agree with your tree it is the line of best fit. The next step we took was organizing and educating. Now, we need to find out where our influence lies.

    Right before the market crash last year, Kerkorian sent out a bid offer to all shareholders of Ford to buy their stock at either $9 or $9.50. I couldn’t figure out why since Ford was trading below $6.50. Stepping back and looking at the big picture, maybe Ford knew what was coming (since the automakers all met with Bush in 2008 asking for help). Maybe Ford was worried about a takeover and asked Kerkorian to keep their price high. I really don’t know what & why. I do know that Ford did not take money from the government. Could it be that is the key to our next move?

    Ford may be publicly traded but the Ford family still holds a majority holding, therefore, it is a FAMILY OWNED business that cannot be bought by the government.

    I think this is our Circle of Influence is within Family Owned businesses. Maybe as consumers, we can support family owned businesses rather than the walmarts, GM’s, etc.

  17. carolewash says:

    Glenn I hope you have thick skin, as it looks like you have a target on your back. Why do liberals only call names ? Don’t they have any facts to back up their claims? I noticed this on Fox Nation also, and you can tell without them even claiming that they are liberals by the foul attitude and tone in their blog. No substance just derivel. To bad you can’t weed out the trolls. Of course we can learn something from anyone.

    • pedroparamo says:

      I’m usually able to pick out comments made by ultra-conservative drones by their apparent illiteracy. Take, for instance, “derivel” or “to bad”. It doesn’t make me angry, just kind of sad that so many are swayed by the one-sided, specious reasoning that issues from latrines like Fox News. Turn off your television, turn off your radio. Read books by authors you can’t stand. Read boring reports and research. You’ll see that people like Beck are profiting from your ignorance.

      • viper says:

        Nice try pedro.

        Profit is good. More profit is better.

        Until you mature and evolve enough to (at the very least) grasp the basic fundamentals, you should confine yourself to venues like the daily KOS.

        Have you asked yourself who is profiting from polluting YOUR MIND? Obviously not.

  18. jimgetten says:

    Glenn is a catalyst. We must do what it takes to correct the mistake the nation made last November. As history goes, we’ve done his before. Many times over 230 years I’m sure but in my memory, 1976 was the worst.

    Nixon/Ford had stained the White House with deceit and fouled the economy with terrible inflation. America went to the polls and we got Jimmy Carter. Four years of nothing but bad news and no leadership. It looked like America was doomed and, along came Ronald Reagan. History speaks for his leadership. No liberal blogger or media talking head can cloud his legacy. Sure, he made mistakes. It happens when you follow a set course based on proven principles and sound governance.

    My wife and I are in that mosaic you see at the top of the page. We are standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial. We have lived in the USA all our lives and have been blessed by Her freedom and strength. We won’t stand quietly and watch a group of 60’s radicals and leftist thugs take over our government.

    Next November, WE THE PEOPLE have a golden opportunity to vote out the ENTIRE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES and ONE THIRD OF THE SENATE. Please don’t let that opportunity pass you by.

    • Open Eyes says:

      The funding from the stimulus package is a lot of money and because the stimulus package legislation was written by the Apollo Alliance and then crammed down by the President and the leadership of the house and senate without it being read, it is clear the fox is in the hen house now. These stimulus funds, not only need to be recalled, because there has been an abuse of both the senate and the house, there needs to be real consideration given to stopping the loss of these monies throughout. I do not see any real accounting for where, and how much of these funds are going to who. But the phrase “Follow the Money is Very Important” in this case. There may need to be hearings but the problem is that getting the vote to accomplish this may not happen in the chambers where democratic control has nearly a lock on collusion. We may need a separate “We the People Court” voted upon by the states and put in place with state support. Federalism has a powerful chance of pushing back on Federal powers and bringing the voices of “We the People” more. We need to withdraw revenue and expenditures flowing to and from the Federal government. The Federal Government is supposed to take care of our security. Handing our resources to communist leadership is not only troubling but goes against everything the constitution demands the Federal government do. If these are not impeachable offenses I do not know what is.

Yes, ArchivesDave is also so very RIGHT! We have had our BIBLES for Many YEARS, and it has been foretold to us, in the book of REVELATION. It is a shame and disgrace, that our pastors have NOT started teaching on Revelation. THE people had better WAKE-UP, start studing Revelation for themselves. OUR GOD and CREATOR, has given us the BIBLE, for a roadmap to follow, and we had best ALL get to reading and doing as it instructs us to do. The time is at hand and is very serious.

    In early 2008 MDS board members Barbara Ehrenreich and Bill Fletcher Jr(both Democratic Socialists of America members), Tom Hayden (former leader of SDS) and Carl Davidson established Progressives for Obama to rally far left support behind the Obama campaign. Mark Rudd has endorsed the organization.

    MDS/Progressives for Obama has taken a strong interest in who gets appointed to the Obama administration.
    But Green Collar Economy’s core mass base remains a united Black and Latino community in close alliance with organized labor, the same engine of change that put Obama in the White House. And by asserting the interests and needs of that base, the green jobs and infrastructure proposals in Obama’s stimulus package serve to drive the entire recovery effort in a progressive direction.

    Davidson also promoted Van Jones’ vision at the Democratic Socialists of America runApril 2009 Left Forum at Pace University in New York.

    :I had to quickly get to the next panel, since I was on it, and there was only about five minutes between sessions. “Building a Progressive Majority and Advancing a Vision of Socialism” was the title, and it was pulled together by my group, Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, and chaired by Pat Fry, an SEIU staffer.

    :I led off by presenting Van Jones’s program for Green Jobs for inner city youth, but framing it as a larger structural reform project that could, if done right, unite a progressive majority and help get us out of the current crisis. At the same time, we had to unite a militant minority around socialist tasks, so I offered the solidarity economy movement and its projects as practical examples of cooperative forms that could, within the capitalist present, point to a socialist future.

    There you have it-sextegenarian Maoists, unforfilled Weathermen, socialists and communists are pushing their agenda in the White House through a mouthpiece they have promoted and nurtured over many years.

    “Green Jobs” is a cover for increased socialization of the US economy-driven by a man who only seven years ago was an ultra militant San Francisco street communist

    Glen,

    I remember a lot of these folks pointed out in the “Tree of Revolution” and their doings from childhood – for all the good modern technology has done for us – how have they fallen under the radar?? For as much as Joe McCarthy liked to embellish facts and smear people with his version of truth – he really wasn’t to far off the mark when he said the communists are coming to take over the United States.

    As “We the People” make our stand and draw a line in the sand, please don’t not forget the ancient history of the world; The great empires and societies (e.g. Rome, Greece) fell on much the same of the same ills we see happening in the United States today (e.g. morality, greed, corruption and wacko’s). If there is any congressmen that are worth their salt-they should step back, re-read their history books and apply what they learn (quickly).

    I think we are headed for the edge of the cliff; I think our countries apathy has gone on for so long and the citizens’ failure to recognize the danger to liberty and freedom will be our true downfall. Over the many years I have been on this earth, I have watched our freedoms, rights and liberty be taken away step by step; the sorry thing is the youngest generations of our founders’ great experiment don’t know or recognize the rights they no longer have.

    George Washington’s final address should be a mandatory read in high school government history classes (do they even have them anymore?)

    And MarineVet thank you for your service to our country! Semper Fi! Where’s Chesty when you need him?

    Thanks again for showing us the Big Picture! Just got a healthcare email from my Rep Ron Klein (D) which used the words “common sense” The physician leadership at our county society met with him and gave him a copy of GB’s Common Sense signed by all of us and he graciously accepted it!

  27. archivesDave says:

    OK Glenn, I get it! …I TRULY GET IT!!!
    But you my friend are NOT getting (or at least reporting), the REST of the story…
    Oh sure, you touch on it often but the other half goes far beyond the
    international banksters and corporate hucksters that you continue to harp about.

    The MASTER Plan is set up to incorporate the Left, Right, and most actions beyond
    and in between. So what IS the Master Plan?…Glad you asked:

    Pick up your Bible and witness the fact that a Global Government and Economy
    must occur as well as a melding of the various controlling forces such as communism,
    fascism, capitalism, and other economic factors. It doesn’t take an Einstein to witness
    this unfolding before our eyes. These mega power brokers in the world are counting
    on us to continue bickering about politics, religion, capitalism, communism, etc, etc,
    while they continue to work their evil amoral plan to amalgamate the countries and
    economies into one global system.
    It took JP Morgan about seven years from the Fed Reserve’s conception to finally
    birth it in 2013. There appears to be a very clear parallel between the events of then
    and now.
    Nicholas Hagger laid it out concisely about five years ago in his last book entitled
    The Syndicate. Most subjects that he covered are unfolding exactly as he described.

    So get on the stick Glenn…Start disclosing the pieces on the opposite side of the puzzle
    in a much greater comprehensive presentation than what you are doing.

    You owe it to your children and grandchildren and our children and grandchildren.

      why am i constantly censored here?
      do we care about freedom or not?

      • free man says:

        sorry, this wasn’t supposed to be a reply.

      • viper says:

        free man, I thought the same thing.

        I don’t think the problem is one of censorship.

        I think there’s a problem with the website.

        Sometimes I can’t log in and then when I finally do it prevents me from posting to the page that I was on when I logged in (but I can on others).

        It’s slow as well. I think it’s a technical issue, not a censorship issue.

    • rockchick2 says:

      Glenn, I love that you’re sorta sticking your neck on the line but I’ve gotta agree with old Dave here. If you don’t expose the WHOLE Corpor-Thug-Oligarchy that’s using our government as their Front, then you’re no better than our front man president. They have him by the balls and I bet they have you too, being that your a talking head for Corpor-Thug run media. (I do understand your predicament)

      The Republican Democratic Regime of the Bought Out USA is a mob front. On the left we have ACORN and much more, since organized criminals have their fingers in everything they CAN. On the right we have what Eisenhower coined the Military Industrial Complex. Anyone who wants to expose these corpor-thugs – who are running all the rackets connected with the MIC – would REALLY be putting their necks on the line. Talk about the most newsworthy covered up stories out there!

      The USA is already a military socialist state and has been for decades. United Healthcare is Marxist and Military Socialism is Stalinist. We’ve become the freaking Soviet Union and Obama isn’t the one who brought us here. He is their Front Man with a marxist flare, put there to get everyone seeing red when we are already red. The Republicans are a front for corpo-mobster/banksters as well.

    • archivesDave says:

      Glenn,
      Still waiting to get your response to my comments.

  28. Independent says:

    I am beginning to believe the Obama Administration is the most corrupt administration that has ever occupied Washington. It is certainly the most devious administration and was accurately defined by Rep. Joe Wilson’s comment … “You Lie”. In reality, Rep. Wilson’s comment was an under statement of what is really the covert agenda of the Obama Administration. What is probably becoming more alarming to a growing majority of Americans is that the so-called main stream media in this country has joined forces with the Obama Administration in corrupting the truth. The main stream media has evolved into nothing more than a propaganda cesspool for the Obama Administration.

    • laidoff2009 says:

      Pound for pound you will find that there have been many American administrations that have reaped (or raped, pilaged and plundered) its citizens; Harding is good one for an example; Republican convention of the time (year ???) couldnt come up with a canidate so they made a back room deal and put in Harding; if he had not died while on a trip (Alaska if I remember right) he would have been impeached; look up “Tea Dome scandel”; The backroom fellas made a lot of money at the suffering of others; History has a bad habit of repeating itself – too bad the history books anymore dont tell it like it was, instead of glossing over how thing came about.

    Glen

    Sorry but you are wrong.. and had better start getting some real fact checkers working with you because you are opening yourself up to real big legal troubles and the case that ACORN will bring is just the begining.. you better watch that video and respond to the fact that ACORN can prove that they did file a complaint against the pimp and the ho sting team… it looks like ACORN may have been planing things for some time on this issue.

    • jimbo says:

      ACORN was watching the big picture Glen.. some are saying that have that report that it was sent to you and your office is that true?

    • viper says:

      Gee jimbo, coming from you, I’m sure the threat of legal troubles just scares Glenn Beck to death.

      ACORN got caught RED HANDED.

      There are more tapes to come. Get ready!

      • jimbo says:

        What did they get caught doing?

        the got caught having a chat that granted was about something embarrassing, but no different that have a talk with your friends about how if you just got that guy that cut you off you would pull off his fingers. Or something stupid like that.

        As to advise that is being give, there are many reasons one can be given advise, and even on a fox news story the advise was considered not good advise if you were going to do that type of crime. One could say that the advise being offered was to bust the crime the day all the players were in the room. Or get the data that the cops would require.

        But the most telling was in San Berdino… tell me was that lady’s husband murdered?

      • jimbo says:

        Just know.. the crime your seeing isn’t what is being said on the tape… the crime you see on the tape is simple.. recording a person without permission with the intent to distribute and profit… that is the crime.. not the conversation… because that can be defended.

        The guys that did this.. have a website with web ads that are generating cashflow off the videos right?

      • jimbo says:

        oh forgot it isn’t me that is talking about legal stuff.. actually it would be ACORN that plans to sue fox

        http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/27270.html

      • viper says:

        What did they get caught doing?

        Ohhh, good question. Let’s see… Ummmmm…….

        Well, considering they’re getting paid by the federal government to help people with their taxes and get homes and things like that…. yeah, let’s see what they did….

        Well, for one, they offered advice on TAX EVASION. That would be a crime jimbo. Are you OK with your tax dollars going to pay for a crime jimbo? They offered advice on how to commit a crime. That in and of itself is a crime. Yeah, real fine. It says a lot about you that you’re ok with it.

        Then, they offered advice on how to defraud the housing program and how best to set up a pedophilia slave operation on paper so they wouldn’t get caught. They offered to enable the crime and give a discount for doing so in preparing their taxes.

        Then, one employee offered up information about a homicide and another offered to help import underage illegal sex slaves.

        Yeah jimbo, EXACTLY WHAT DID THEY GET CAUGHT DOING?

        You moron.

  30. Pocohantas8 says:

    Glenn, As you were pointing out all the connections on today’s show (09\189), it was filling in some missing pieces to my own theories.

    As Bill Ayers has commented, “I didn’t feel I did enough…” in reference to the bombings in ‘68, that phrase gives us a clue into who is also involved in the 09/11 attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Centers. Here are my thoughts…SEIU is connected to the unions. The unions have security guard unions on the East Coast. We all know that the 9/11-Truthers have spun around the real truth about the bombings to try and blame the Bush Administration. BUT, what if it is in reality, that they are just describing all the details of what the Weather Underground did? (of course, under a new organizations’ name). Just as ACORN changes their name, so can the Weather Underground. I found it so odd that all these people just so happened to be filming the Trade Centers just before the planes hit the building and happened to catch an explosion several floors below where the planes hit. They have basically told us how they did it…just changed the names of the players. They knew that it would be the first step to cripple this country financially and also to enter us into a war, just like World War II did.

  31. FromRussiaWithHate says:

    Glen, you’re on the right track. Please keep it on, keep Americans informed. They are too lazy to research on the internet themselves. All the facts are there – someone has to connect the dots for them – they’re too much into pot and cannot make that connection.

  32. mjs1951 says:

    Glenn, Jeff Jones has never been charged with any bombings, or conspiracy to do so. It might be helpful if you stopped distorting fact. If you insist on branding people as Marxists and Communists, you are going to have to produce some real evidence. Misrepresentation of the facts and false accusations is a paranoid as well as delusional way of dealing with the real world.

    • jimbo says:

      Your right… Glen, tell me when you were talking with that guy that was a communist and became a conservative thinker republican (I think) activist tell me.. why is that Communist good but other former Communists bad?

      could it be that if they fall in line with your thinking that they are good.. but if they become something other than your thinking they are evil.

  33. Combat Vet says:

    Seems to me, that all Americans should know better than to take advice from a recovering alcoholic and drug addict like Glenn Beck. Glenn, you are a coward!

  34. Gran623 says:

    Here is something to think about! I am American my parents where Americans , my grand parents are Italian, so i Should I be called Italian -American. NO I am American of Italian decent. that is how everyone born in America should be called. Not African-Americans: I feel that this is dividing our country. AQnd this is not the time to be divided but stand up together!
    Even our President is not African-American, is mother was white and his grandmother was white! So lets get this a straight ok.
    Lets all Americans stand together!!! and stop trying dividing the people

  35. mattwhit says:

    The big picture is simple: the Marxists have finally succeded in getting one of their own into the top echelons of power. They have banded together (Big Labor, enviro-nuts, “social justice” grievance mongers, etc.) for the purpose of totally redefining what it means to be an American. In fact, during the 2008 election cycle, the American Socialist Party did not even run a candidate for president. Ever since the 1908 election, in which their candidate was Eugene Debbs, this party always ran a candidate for the presidency. Their stated reason for not running any one this time was that all of their ambitions were realized in Barack Obama. May God protect us from this bunch!

  36. Davidson says:

    Thank you for having the guts to ask tough questions about the big picture. I’m proud to say our family is in that particular “big picture”! And we’re sitting up and listening. Please keep talking.

  37. FriendofGlenn says:

    OK, so I took the bait and watched the Carter video. It turns out that President Obama is Black, and, when he was a boy, he lived with his grandparents, and that’s the obvious meaning President Carter intended, not the hateful, race-baiting meaning Glenn Beck intends here. So, Glenn Beck, you are proving President Carter’s point, that racists like you, Glenn Beck, are in the world, degrading it. By the way, your tortured means of attempting to misrepresent people does credit to the satire that alleges you, Glenn Beck, raped and murdered a girl in 1990. You, Glenn Beck, are a perposterous, hateful person. Good luck with the show.

    • Gran623 says:

      Gee did not Ted Kennedy leave a women to die in waterey death! I hope that remark can be backed up with proof or are you socialist working for the Obama!
      You know that Glen is right about what is going on and all Obamas so called Czars should be fired.

      Hey no one brought up race its people like that bring it up to try to hide the truth about the Corruptions, Everyone of the cazars should be fired !
      Why are we not hearing from the President ? He is a good speaker when he wanted to be elected but it was taken a turn to be coming a nightmare.

    • RJ Ferry Jr says:

      OMG! If you have proof of this then it is your duty to go to the Police,
      You should submit any evidence you have, and let justice have it’s day…
      Otherwise GIVE IT A REST!

      • FromRussiaWithHate says:

        Ted Kennedy is a coward, indeed. I saw that water channel where he left that young women to die in his car, it’s really shallow. Instead of trying to safe her he went to his hotel and told no one till the next morning, and only when police found her body. I believe he only received a one year probation. This guy had to be in jail. There is a reason why this family is cursed.

  38. michralston says:

    Thanks for drawing for us the tree of revolution. I hope you put a printable version on your website. The agenda of social justice, and transformation of our government needs to be addressed and clarified. Jeff Jones, Bill Ayers, WAde Radthke, Dale Radthke, Van Jones , LLoyd Morris, Carol Browner, Carl Holdren, Cass Sunstein etc. are as you say revolutionaries or radical thinkers who want to transform our society .They hold views that if government regulated would transform our country from one that defends our constitution and free market system to a socially engineered system that accomplishes social justice, if not social reparations. This would be accomplished through government control of our manufacturing sector with new green jobs and companies at the expense of current industries, control of education, and environmental regulation. I believe these idiologues actually believe their system will be a better and fairer system than the one we have now. They point at the corruption of big business and corporations, but fail to mention that they will also be using big businesses and corporations to accomplish their goals. They also fail to acknowledge that government is subject to corruption as any big corporation. The goals of these idiologues can be found on the Apollo Alliance website, the words of the president, and radicals mentioned above, and their personal histories, all available through internet research. The problem is that they do not come forth with a platform of their beliefs to change our government. We can only find it through the regulations they introduce, the writings and speeches they have made, and the organizations they support. All this raises serious questions, because at the core of their beliefs, is a world view that is unmistakenly against individual freedom, and what our constitution represents.

    • ffranco999 says:

      One of the worst and biggest roots of the progressive/radical/socialist/communist/fascist tree was left out by Glenn, that is Theodore Roosevelt who started the Progressive Party (nicknamed the Bullmoose Party). When Teddy Roosevelt ran against Taft in 1912, he split the Republican vote and allowed the election of the radical leftist and pro-Bolshevist, Woodrow Wilson. That led to the election of FDR,. the Great Depression caused by FDR and the Democrats, and the increasing socialization of America.

      Glenn, if you read this, please add Teddy Roosevelt to your list of the Roots of the Radial/Progressive Left.

      • laidoff2009 says:

        Like most folks I think you are a bit wrong on facts here; There were a few presidents between Wilson and FDR; Coolige and Hover; Coolige slept most of the time on the job and Hover thought leaving the economy alone it would right itself; the depression was well under way BEFORE FDR was elected.

  39. madashell13 says:

    Where is Paul Oneill? He was called in as a consultant before the election. Why don’t we see him now? Have him on the show and find out. He was THE most honest person in the entire Bush 8 years. If you want the truth, I would name Paul Oneill as The Truth Czar. Call him up.

  40. madashell13 says:

    What is wrong with Nancy Pelosi? She can’t complete a sentence. Was Van Jones hiding under her skirt behind the podium? Something was making her eyes flash and wander. Scary woman.

    • TearEmUp says:

      The simple answer is….Nancy Pelosi is a manipulative, conniving, self aggrandizing moron, with delusions of grandeur. She will end up dying alone wondering where all of her so called friends are….

  41. Independent says:

    More and more it is becoming evident that we certainly need to be concerned with Barak Hussein Obama’s agenda. We need to be concerned that the man that is President of the United States appears to identify with left-wing radical extremists like Van Jones. Do Obama’s experiences earlier in his life still bias him to the point he still identifies with these far left-wing extremists. Obama needs to make an important decision very soon … does he want to be President of the United States?

  42. MarineVet says:

    I’ve been wondering when “someone” would have the courage to not only delve into the facts of what’s been happening to our Republic over the past 40+ years, but to bring it out to the public. Almost every fact and assertion Glen has been talking about over the past weeks I’ve independently investigated over the past years; and, have arrived at the same results (prior to Glen’s programs). Unfortunately, my personal situations (former Marine, Military Intel, Homeland Security contracting and now “on the dole” as a Disabled Vet and Retired) has made me keep silent over the years (A-political). Wake UP America, the Socialst Radicals are now in our face…… oops, I mean Progressives and Social-Capitalists.

    • tiredofit says:

      Thank you for your service and your comments,I know a lot of Vets who feel the same way but are reluctant to express their views and concerns.

  43. plowboy says:

    Glenn you are absolutely right obama and his ilk are ruining America! We are putting our nation in great danger as well as putting our allies in danger. obama is trying to turn the whole world into a Marxist world. Impeacment is going to be the only peaceful way to end this madness.

    • MarineVet says:

      plowboy- I wish Obama was the only problem. With due respect to the office of the President, I believe he’s only the official “Bobble Head” of a much deeper and larger ideological machine that has put him in “power”. He wasn’t even born when this assault on our Republic began. Challenging this “machine” may prove to be a bit dangerous and will take brave voices to alert the American People. Let’s hope real “change” can be accomplished at the votiing polls………… and soon!

      • tiredofit says:

        I agree,MarineVet,its not going to be easy so we have to stand together.We can start at the polls.

      • plowboy says:

        I couldn’t agree with you more! All of government is doing things that are unconstitutional. But impeaching obama would be a start, then we can go from there. I can’t even think of one in government that is upholding there oath to protect the constitution.

    • laidoff2009 says:

      I have thought for years that there is a greater power in this country above the president (and it isn’t God) running various administrations agendas; Okay maybe this is a little far out in never, never land but think about this; way back when – the knights templar and other early underground societies that made there way here before our revolution. I don’t think free masons are involved as anarchy wasn’t their goal but other “ancient” societies still are around and a few of the goals were global government. A few religious evangelicals have suggested that Obama is the one to bring it all together. As I listened to some of Obama’s campaign speeches being replayed and put into context to “today’s” events, I am beginning to feel that (just) maybe we are looking at the arrival of possibly the anti-Christ. No I am not a nut job but I do wonder if this man is what will bring us to the beginning of the end of what we know as America. May God bless us all!!
