tv   Glenn Beck  FOX News  September 18, 2009 5:00pm-6:00pm EDT

5:00 pm
[captioning made possible by fox captioned by the national captioning institute ---www.ncicap.org--- bots. glenn: welcome to the glenn beck program. back in the spring, there was a portion of a program, and i want you to watch for the moment where i paused. it was a moment where i got t all of a sudden something came to my mind and i saw the whole picture. play the tape. this is from last spring. >> acorn is growing on the tree. this one is called americorps. >> americorps, we just got a multi-billion dollar injection of cash from congress. glenn: and my theory is that barack obama is building a country almost like software,
5:01 pm
like the matrix. that was back in the spring and i paused and i thought oh, dear, i see what this whole thing is, a matrix, and i didn't know how exactly to finish this because i wasn't ready to put all the pieces together at that time. tonight, i am. i will show you all of the pieces. if you believe this country is great but there is a force that is trying to fundamentally transform this republic into something that you don't recognize, grab a pencil and a paper. come on, follow me. well, hello, america. i'm going to show you something that i think will help tie everything that we have been talking about for the past few months, tie it all together. i have tried to lay all of the pieces out for you. this is where i have been headed, and yet this is only the beginning yet again. when i first started this show,
5:02 pm
i told you that it was my goal to do a couple of things -- one, to always tell you the truth, as i understand it. i will get it wrong from time to time, but i will admit it when i do. also, i wanted to do something different. the fringe media, what i am calling what used to be the mainstream media, just touches on things. they don't see the big picture. here, we try to connect the dots for you and tell you what it all means together. let me give you give you an exa. here are a few of the stories we have done. first there is the van jones story r to the fringe media, this is barely a story at all. when they did report it, it was disconnected from everything else, he didn't know what he was signing and why would anyone care about the man trying to save clean energy jobs? no, no, it was about a radical communist revoluntionary in the white house. how did he get in the white house? what does it tell about the
5:03 pm
vetting process? what does it tell us about the direction government is going? then there was the stimulus bill. my question at the time was who is writing these 1,300-page bills? well, we found out, and we told you. it was the apollo alliance. we tried to show you the apollo alliance onto board. this is a progressive george soros-funded extreme left-wing organization. it's all funded right through the tides foundation. it doesn't appear left wing, because, oh, they have all of these credible organizations with it, but what are their real goals? harry reid admitted to the nation -- actually, he didn't admit. he thanked the apollo alliance for their help with the stimulus bill. it seems we need to give up the old fashioned notion that congress, the men and women we actually elect and send to women send to washington, actually right the bills.
5:04 pm
they're not reading them and they're not even writing them n some completely unrelated story, we told you about the acorn corruption, which has been very evident this past week. the fringe media, when they cover it, has made this story into well, we're just touching on it, there are a few bad workers there, and not the massive fraud on the american taxpayer, let alone the power that they hold because they can't see the whole picture. we've told you that that are radicals. we have told you there are communists, marxists, revoluntionaries all around this president. well, somebody else that we introduced you to not too long ago that no one else is talking about, which, in a few minutes i think it will be mind-boggling to you, it's time to reintroduce you to him again. he was a weather underground founder -- no, not william ayers. the other weather underground founder. there he is. there is his booking chart.
5:05 pm
his name is jeff jones. ok. remember that the weather underground bombed the pentagon and police station among other things, not to stop the war in vietnam, but to stop the imperialist system of america. these are people who came right from v.d.s., a the students for a democratic society. whenever you see the word "democratic society" and it is coming from a group of '60's radicals, run for your life, literally, because it is code word for marxism and communism. s.d.s. wanted to have a revolution and overthrow capitalism and the republic of america, but they were split. they didn't know how to do it. they didn't know how to accomplish it. enter these two people. this is richard plowers and francis piven. this lovely pair, college
5:06 pm
professors at columbia university. they said, you know, the best way to bring about the change that everybody is seeking if you're a radical revoluntionary is to get everyone on welfare, just start racking up the bills so the american financial system would eventually collapse under its own weight. you got it? collapse the system. bypassing so much, by getting so many people on to the doles that we could never afford it. so, in this group of radicals, there were a few names that we have now heard before. theres was wade ath i wade rath. he said cloward and piven are right, but we should accomplish that through peaceful means. william ayers, here is william ayers, and jeff jones, they decided no, we've got to be radicals. we've got to blow our way up to
5:07 pm
the top, ok? but they both set off at the same time. he decided that he was going to try acorn and gts legitimate peaceful route, and these two were going to go blow everything up, but the goal was the same. it was marxist revolution. ok, so, now people say why are you going on about all of this stuff? why are we still talking about people in the 1960's? because all of these people, all of these people are still solved. they're still doing it. wade rathke was acorn. his brother dale, where is dale? here is his brother dale at seiu -- we think. we're not sure. he was with acorn, but nobody will give us a straight answer on where he went after embezzling almost a million dollars an then george soros' people at the tides foundation come up with a million dollars to make that problem go away. we think he went to seiu, but
5:08 pm
nobody will give us a straight answer. william ayers. where is william aers now? he's in education. he infecting young minds with radicalism as a professor at the university of illinois. no one seems to have a problem with that anymore. jeff jones, well, he is running a consulting firm and also chairs the apollo alliance in new york. gee, apollo alliance, oh, yeah, the apollo alliance, the people that had a pretty big hand in writing the stimulus package. now, does that sound bad to you? there's more. but again, the fringe media can't seem to put all of thissing together, and this is what came to me while i was standing at that exactly board. the media -- while i was standing at that exactly board. the media is complicit or out of touch. i don't know which it is. let me show you the big picture of what is happening here. the root of the tree of radicalism and revolution.
5:09 pm
it's saul ollie lynnski. it is saul alinsky. as hillary clinton said, it is quintessential early 20th century progressivism. woodrow wilson had people speak out against him and he threw them in jail, what was it, 150,0 00 political prisoners at the time. it was not good, but he could not get it finished. the other is che and people who have t-shirts that their kids are whering his name, well he is a killer, a communism killer! and here is s.d.s. for the democratic society. chow ard and piven come in and say wait a second, we should collapse the system on its own weight. wade rathke goes this way and starts acorn.
5:10 pm
dale rathke, again, we think is with seiu. bill ayers went this way. he went with jeff jones. now, bill ayers today is in the colleges, in the universities. bill ayers, it is not believable that bill ayers and barack obama didn't know each other. i mean, i don't want to rehash all this ground, because it's not all that important, but it's impossible. why? because of valerie jarrett. valerie jarrett. this is the best friend -- they call each other family. these two call each other family. she is the one in the white house that is aware of everything. she is the one that said van jones is the person we need. her mom started something for university on education, and it was bill ayers' dad that was a partner with her mom, so she grew up with her mother and bill
5:11 pm
ayers' father knowing each other. she didn't know who bill ayers was? gosh, that seems wierd, for someone who calls barack obama a brother. ok. the apollo alliance. van jones, a bunch of other people, and jeff jones. jeff jones, van jones, interesting. remember, if you're in the fringe media, what i'm telling you here is it is all a conspiracy. i mean, you'd have to verify with that crazy technology called google. i'm sure, you know. it's not the full power of abc news, but i don't have as much time for sailing as charlie gibson does, so i just have to google things. remember, jeff jones, jeff jones, the founder, cofounder of the weather underground with bill ayers is now at the apollo project where van jones, the radical was as well. we told you about jeff jones a few weeks ago due to his connection to van jones, who, by
5:12 pm
the way, the white house will remind you on their own white house blog, quote "many of the arbitrarily labeled czars on beck's list are snrats confirmed an points or advisory roles carried over from previous administrations." nobody gets it. it's not about van jones. it never has been about van jones. they need to look at the big picture. oscar, will you take a picture? show me. there it is, ok. we have all these pictures. the mainstream fringe picture now would say look at all these faces. what do they have in common? why did glenn beck put all these faces on the screen? look at the faces. this will show you -- oscar, pull back, please. you're missing the whole picture. the mainstream media has lost their way. they are a fringe because they're just looking at the pictures and arguing about the
5:13 pm
faces. pull back and see what the faces as a collective make. show this, the tree of leave of revolution. look at this, what do all these names say? pull back and look at the whole picture. the question is, what is jeff jones doing today? what is he doing right now? well, he's working in the new york office of the apollo alliance. nobody has looked into harry reid's own words, quote, this legislation is the first step in building a clean energy economy that creates jobs. the apollo alliance has been an important factor in helping us develop and execute a strategy that makes great progress on these goals and in motivating the public to support them." did you get that? when i pointed this out a couple of weeks ago, jeff jones wrote this on his own blog, quote "just this summer, glenn beck, a commentator for fox news and others have wage add smear
5:14 pm
campaign -- notice the common language -- gee, a smear campaign. that's sounds like exactly what acorn is saying -- smear campaign against the apollo alliance and van jones, who resigned his white house post as a special advisor to the president on green jobs and green energy, because of my work with the new york state apollo alliance and my history of political activism, starting with the anti-vietnam war movement in the 1960's and my opposition to segregation and racism. i have also been attacked." notice that jeff mentioned his opposition to segregation and racism. but is that really what he is known for? he conveniently leaves out the cofounding of the weather underground, blowing up the pentagon. isn't that describing me as, well, he's a baker's assistant. i was when i was 7 and working with my dad, and then not mentioning, you know, this show or that i'm on radio.
5:15 pm
that's what i'm most known for. jeff jones goes on. he says "i am committed to the idea of building a partnership of workers, environmentalists, business, government, social and environmental justice advocates." do you have that? does that sound like our republic? you know who is believe that social justice that jeff jones believed in so much that he was willing to blow things up? van jones. >> mainstream white polluters and the mainstream white environmentalists will end up collaborating to put all the poison in the black communities, in the latino communities, in the poor communities. the toxin dumps started moving in one direction because not in my backyard. glenn: the apollo project. they complained when i first brought them up that the apollo
5:16 pm
alliance, when i said they wrote the stimulus bill, their complaint was that i didn't include big business in there. that was their issue, that i was spearing them by -- like that was supposed to make that them better. so who is wrote the bill -- big labor, social justice advocates, environmentalists, and big business, along with the government. i'm sorry, are you even in that mix? jones wrapped it up with this, quote "i grew up in a quaker pacifist family. i was supposed to register with my draft board was a conscientious object tore, but the promise of america for me was marked by segregation and by a criminal war waged by my government against the people of vietnam, so a as a teenager and young adult, i dedicated myself to supporting the opposition of the vietnam war and i was personally enitched by
5:17 pm
participating in these movements and by the people i met, worked with and loved in those years. this is what i mean when i say i do not regreet my militant opposition to racism and the vietnam war. that said, like middle most peoy age, i made my share of mistakes. " wow, let's take a couple of things. wow, mistakes -- blowing up the pentagon is not a mistake. enriched? hmm. he was enriched are by his work in the weather underground, but here is where the train really goes off track. today, he quotes" i am using the organizing skills and insights i learned from those movements in my work as a consultant for environmental and labor groups. one is the new york state apollo alliance, an affiliate of national apollo. apollo is working towards a goal that is simple and straightforward, create good jobs for working people in the new clean energy economy. that's a goal i support and i
5:18 pm
continue to work on." so, what do we have here? we have a guy who is using the same contacts and the same organizing skills that he learned in the weather under ground -- remember, weather underground, and those tass tactics he learned from cloward and piven and s.d.s. and jeff jones has never disavowed the violence of that organization of the william ayers said in an an interview that ran september 11, 2001 in "the new york times" "i wish i had done more." the american people want to know how close candidate obama would be to william ayers, to see if he had influence on the candidate himself. if the fringe media doesn't even bother to look who is actually writing our policies and helping the state of new york implementing them, not william ayers, jeff jones, the other founder of the weather underground. look at this. they're using the same tactics.
5:19 pm
cloward and piven. they're iewtion the same tactics. fear and intimidation of s.d.s. because cloward piven overwhelmed the system, and look who the president has, wade rathke, right up the tree, dale, right up the trill, bill ayers right up the tree, jeff jones, right up the tree. remember what i showed you about the mosaic? i will show the mosaic again. pull in and show the mosaic again. here again, if you pull all the way in, this is what they will cover. you got to look at the big picture. by the way, i mentioned george soros a minute ago. can you bring up the board? all these places where there are dollar bills, george soros has his hands in it. there is a lot of stuff that somebody should look into, but again, because of this broadcast, if anybody wants to look into jeff jones, they will say glenn beck was talking about jeff jones, here is what the media will show you. pull on to jeff jones. this is what the media will show
5:20 pm
you. they'll just show you jeff jones, and say oh, my gosh, jeff jones and say should he be fired? should he be involved in new york? should he be helping with the stimulus money? should he be consulting the governor of new york? that's what they'll do, but pull out, please. and look at the full picture, the tree of revolution, be and n somebody else see it and demand some answers? we'll be right back. quality and reliability...
5:21 pm
are more than words here. it's personal. i have diabetes. rodney's kid too. so we're so proud to manufacture... the accu-chek® aviva meters and test strips... here in the u.s.a. plus, we've proven you'll waste 50% fewer strips... when you use our meter, which means greater savings... for people with diabetes, like me. now that's a true american value. accu-chek® aviva. born in the u.s.a.
5:22 pm
5:23 pm
>> from covering the cover of time to ice cream socials. what does glenn have in store
5:24 pm
for us next? "arguing with idiots" coming to book stores next tuesday. glenn: i have to tell you, america. i mean, i agonized over this last night, because it is so complex. it is so much. we're going to explain it and break it down piece by piece, but please, please, share this with your friends, because this -- these are the radicals. this is why it matters. i have said for a while now, the paradigm is changing. there is no place now for the media that we currently have. acorn, van jones, the mainstream media has not asked the tough questions. how can this many radical people be this involved with what's happening in our country? is the mainstream media as we know it over? dobey berkowitz, director of communications at boston university. did you see the last segment?
5:25 pm
could you watch it up there in boston? >> yes, i saw you using the chalkboard as a deadly weapon. glenn: this show has broken all conventional wisdom. nobody would say we could do a 20-minute monologue and we do it almost every night and nobody would say use a chalkboard and yet that's how we make our point. what is happening here? can -- i have never treated my audience as a bunch of boobs. i believe they're intelligent human beings that really want to learn and know what's going on in the country. i try to figure it out myself and bring it. why aren't the other meetd ya outlets doing it? >> well, what works for you, glenn, doesn't necessarily work for other newscasters or other programs. i think what you have is a way that you want to try to communicate with your viewers using the chalkboards, giving them lots of detail. because it works for you doesn't
5:26 pm
mean it will work for other people. it's your style and very successful. glenn: right, but dobey, i don't mean that other newscasters have to get the chalkboard out, but why are they not covering it? when you look at this, is it not pretty obvious that maybe there should be some questions asked and looked into all this? i mean, it is rid rled with corruption. why are they not doing that? >> one could say that it perhaps is too complex for a simplistic way to present the news, and when you have traditional newscasts that are 23 minutes long, you don't really have time for come mex ti, or you could -- you don't have time for complexity or you could be more conspiratorial and say that the media doesn't want to probe into certain aspects of the obama administration. dealer's choice. you can pick which of those is the reason that stories like these aren't being covered. glenn: i think the media doesn't
5:27 pm
understand at all that this is a media revolution, and i don't even mean me, but i believe the people, internet, et cetera, twitter, that's what is happening in iran right now is twitter is taking hold. facebook, et cetera. is the way we get our news, is the looking up to these giant corporations to get the news, is that a thing of the past? is there a point, a tipping point where people are just like, ok, they're not even telling me the truth or what i'm even interested are in and it just implodes? >> well, the paradigm shift is the end of scarcity. it used to be that you could watch one of three networks. you could read one or two newspapers that. has gone by the boards. now, really the consumer is king and queen. they get to decide what kind of information they want, how they want to get it. do they want a long in-depth report? do they want a 140-character tweet? it's their choice. these are all options. what we are starting to get is a
5:28 pm
marketplace and it's much tougher for the old interests to control it. it is really sort of gone crazy and everyone gets to pick what they want. you're in charge with your clicker, with your mouse. you're your own programmer. you're your own news director. glenn: thank you very much. i appreciate t i will say, america, you are in charge. you in charge. toby is exactly right. if you don't like, it take them out of control. that's why i think mark lloyd is now the diversity czar of the f.c.c. look him up. back in a second. >> nancy pelosi is getting emotional. it's time to break down what she's really afraid of, next. n
5:29 pm

5:32 pm
>> prosecutors in los angeles today filed arson charges against the 13-year-old boy they believe started a 2,100 acre wildfire near the city last month. the boy's name has not been released. police have reportedly found new evidence in the case of the murdered yale grad student, a connecticut newspaper says 24-year-old lab worker raymond clark's d.n.a. was found in the same crawlspace where annie le's body was found, and president obama has said in the past he would engage in direct talks with iran, but he won't be doing so next week when iran's president is in town for a meeting of the u.n.'s general assembly, according to a top administration official.
5:33 pm
glenn beck returns in a moment but first bret baier. bret: coming up, 7 former c.i.a. directors tell the president to call off an investigation of interrogators plus iran's president speaks out again. join me at top of the hour for "special report" from new york ton. now back to glenn beck, just down the hall. glenn: i didn't know he was down the hall! we have to have him in. all right. nancy pelosi yesterday said this this -- >> i think we have to take responsibility for our actions and our words. we are a free country, and this balance between freedom and safety is one that we have to carefully balance. i have concerns about some of the language that is being used because i saw this myself in the late '70's in san francisco, this kind of rhetoric, which was
5:34 pm
very frightening and it created a climate in which we had silence take place, and so i wish that we would all again curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made and the understanding that some of the ears that it is falling on is not as balanced as the person making the statement might assume, but again, our country is great because people can say what they think and they believe, but i also think that they have to take responsibility for any incitement that they may cause. glenn: very interesting. now we have to watch our speech if there's a crazy -- i guarantee there's a crazy person listening to nancy pelosi, listening to me, listening to n.p.r. -- i guarantee it. this are 300 and some million
5:35 pm
people in america. of course. so what is it nancy pelosi is afraid of? is she afraid of the tea party people? what bout her to tears yesterday? i said to her on this program, what is it? what is it? well, we were up late last night, and we worked on it. the memories of the 1970's in san francisco. it's this. it all comes down to this. milk, twinkie and kool-aid. this is what it's all about. this is what made nancy pelosi cry, and you know what? if i were her, it might have made me cry as well. first, milk. harvey milk. harvey milk, you might is seen the movie. you might know who he is, maybe you don't, but he was a a politician and he was killed by another politician, a democrat. the guy who killed harvey milk was crazy. he snuck in to town hall through a basement window. he made his way up to the
5:36 pm
offices and started shooting. he murdered the mayor of san francisco and milk in bowed daylight. now, twinkie. what does this have to do with anything? well, you know how the guy got off? the twinkie defense. remember that? that's how a cold-blooded killer got off in san francisco in the 1970's. he blamed it on too much sugar from junk food, the twinkie defense. twinkies and milk. now, what else was happening? kool-aid. there was something else happening in san francisco, another radical and communist in bed with the democratic party. this guy had connections with everybody in the democratic party. he was a bad dude, but everybody just said, well, no, he's good for the party. he helps me get elected, et cetera, et cetera, and before you knew it he was in bed with everybody in the democratic party and then he started to want to take control of it.
5:37 pm
when they tried to distance themselves from there guy, he left and went to jones town, guyana, and there he led a mass suicide of over 900 people, including having 276 children drink cyanide-laced kool-aid. i remember it as a kid, but i wasn't an adult and san francisco? in the 1970's. if i live through harvey milk, the twinkie defense and drink the kool-aid in the 1970's, i would have teared up, too, because pretty traumatic stuff, but yet that's not what i heard here. i didn't hear about a crazy man and a crazy man. no, no. the rest of the media it seems to be setting up something else. the rest of the media are taking things like this and turning them into something like this. right wing domestic terror wierdly spikes when the right
5:38 pm
wing media steps up the intensity and violence of their rhetoric, which they happen to do when democrats are in charge." you can't accuse beck or limbaugh of inciting violence, but they almost certainly do stoke the flames." how about this from "the new york times"? they have gone out of their way to provide a platform for conspiracy theories and a apocalyptic rhetoric, just as they did the last time a democrat held the white house." i didn't. look. timothy mcveigh, nut job, nut job, on the fringe of the right, that president clinton tried to blame on rush limbaugh. it was ridiculous then and it's ridiculous now. har si milk, killed by a guy who was helped up on twin kiss. it was redick you will then and ridiculous now. the shooter and timothy mcveigh, crazy people.
5:39 pm
it's madness, but there have been instances of groups getting all riled up, having people stoke them up, not lone killers, not the twinkie guy or the guy in the truck with the fertilizer, no, no, no. groups getting all riled up. they are generally groups that want to overthrow the government of the united states and thwart the constitution. those are not people in the tea parties. they love the constitution. they love america. we saw these people back in the 1960's, black panthers. we saw them in the '70's as the weather underground. in the '08's, may 19 communist organizations. the '90's, even today, with alf and elf. didn't i just do a story where they blew up six of the largest natural gas pipelines in north america in canada and they are environmentalist terrorists but the fringe media doesn't even cover these guys. we're seeing this in western canada, blowing up natural gas pipelines. bombed.
5:40 pm
six times in nine months. so nancy, i, too, share your fear of crazy lone nut jobs. i pray every night for your safety, and for the safety of all members of congress, the president, the administration, members of the media, members of just regular communities, everybody, please, dear lord, keep us safe. there are nut jobs out there. there also are those who want to overturn the constitution of the united states. let's unite in that together by, what was it, you said? watching our words? because nancy, you're for cap and trade, but i don't hold you responsible when elf burns 3,000 hummers in california, even though you're pro choice, i don't hold you responsible for the guy who just shot and killed the pro life protestor. >> are we trading our european allies to benefit g.e.?

5:45 pm
day, what did we give up in exchange for that missile shield? with us is john bolton, former ambassador to the united nations and fox news contributor. ambassador, how are you, sir? >> good to be here. glad to see you. glenn: i might put you in an uncomfortable position, because you speak am bass dorl language, and blah blah blah. i want to ask you a couple of frank questions here. is there anything -- in negotiations, is there any way thaw just give up a defensive missile shield with nothing in return? >> well, in this administration, i'm afraid the answer is right. look, they never believed in national missile defense. they thought it was destablizing during the cold war. they don't think operationally it will ever r really work, so f you -- glenn: neither did reagan with star wars. >> they have been against it for a long time. they say we really didn't give up anything, but we do hope the russians will reciprocate. glenn: can i tell you something?
5:46 pm
ii really don't care if -- i would go to the russians and say, well, i tell ya, we're not going to get rid of our union corns then. i don't care if they're real or not. if i'm negotiating across the table, i want someone in return to give up something they really want, but the poles didn't even answer hillary clinton's phone call today. we have just alienated gigantic allies in poland, have we not, in all of eastern europe? >> absolutely. this was a signal of weakness. you know, yesterday when the president made this announcement, it was the 70th anniversary of the russian invasion of poland in 1939. maybe that history escaped the white house, but everybody in poland knows it. glenn: i mean, they're the ones who call people like me dumb. george bush was a dummy. they can't be this inept. i have a theory and i would like to run it by you here in a second.

>> p pick up glenn beck's new book, "arguing with idiots." in stores everywhere next tuesday. glenn: all right. we're back with the former ambassador to the united nations, john bolton, and a fox news contributor. ok, ambassador, i don't think we just give up a missile shield for nothing. i just don't buy that the people in the white house are that clueless, unless -- >> you give them too much credit glenn: let me show you the chart again.
5:51 pm
i think these guys are very sharp. ok. is it a coincidence that a couple of hours after they announced hey, by the way, poland, screw you, and we're going to give up on this missile shield, vladimir putin in russia announced that g.e. is going to go over with jeff jeffrey immelt and meet on some business deals over with vladimir putin. i think we may have sold poland out for general electric. coincidence? >> well, if that were the case, it would be completely inexcusable. putin also said today that he now wanted the united states to repeal some trade legislation that he said discriminated against russia. that's how russians do it. they take one concession, like the missile defense site, pocket it, and then ask for the next concession. the real question is whether the obama administration sees and
5:52 pm
understands that pattern. i really think that they gave this away for nothing. glenn: ok. guest, we bring good things to life, g.e. it seems that we are poking all of our traditional allies. don't get me wrong. we did send the gift to the english people, and send it back even after we said you can keep it in the museum. then we did get the queen a very nice gift of some obama speeches on an i-pod. we continually poke our traditional allies and then embrace -- tiffany, our producer says, our frenemies, people like russia, and then want to talk to venezuela and to iran. are we headed towards being a
5:53 pm
member of the axis power? what is happening to us? >> i think if you connect the dots of what this administration has been doing, it is consciously moving away from the clear assertion of american interest rand values around the world and tries to find a conversation with their adversaries. their theory is that the bush administration unnecessarily irritated people when, in fact, we are the cause of most of these problems. as jeane kirkpatrick said at a republican convention, she said these are the people who blame america first and they are now in power. there that is the way they operate. glenn: i will take some of the blame. we have done some piggish things to protect our own interests are, and we also have been bullish enough to think that we could just give people the freedom that we enjoy and they don't even understand it, some of them, so some of that is a
5:54 pm
little bit -- a little bit of that is true. however, with that being said, that doesn't mean you go and embrace the people who are thugs, killers, communists, dictators. i mean, there is a difference between hey, we're not going to injure anybody and we're sorry for -- hey, what's that book you're reading, hugo? >> look, this is pressing the reset button not only with russia but everywhere else. i think the impression it leaves around the world is of american weakness. i think we are back in the carter administration or worse, and i think it's only going to get worse. glenn: thank you very much. quality and reliability... are more than words here. it's personal. i have diabetes. rodney's kid too.
