2:00 am
circle. that is where the gretawire forum is, and you can raise your own topics, start your own debate, do whatever you want, but until then, keep it here on fox, the most powerful name in news. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute ---www.ncicap.org--- glenn: welcome to the glenn beck program! it's like oprah today. we have a -- all right. all right. we have a very special show tonight. we have moms from all across the countries. there are some people, it seems to me, in the media, that have been so quick to mock the people who are just gathering in town squares an town halls. tonight, we're going to talk to actual people about what concerns average americans have. what is it that is eating at the people who are standing
2:01 am
up? i think you're going to find their concerns quite normal, indeed, and rational. the only questions will be left, really, quite honestly, for our government, and the media, so why is it that no one in the fringe media can actually get the tea parties right? is it really that tough to figure out why so many people are willing to take the precious time out of their life, away from their kids and their family so they can let their voice be heard? is it really that complex? is it really that difficult to comprehend that people become concerned when their president sets out on a mission to fundamentally transform the country and yet leaves a lot of details out? is it hard to believe that so many citizens would recoil at the president's use of the high pressure tactic of you got to do it now, quick, quick, quick! that's the time when most americans walk away from the car dealer saying i don't want to buy that car, i don't think. they respond by saying slow
2:02 am
down. let's talk about it a little bit, please? could you read the bill? do the people in the media not see their children's future and say, like a lot of people here say, i don't know if there's going to be a country left for my children because of all the spending that you're doing. do they not look at the numbers in their own news reports and say wait a minute, this doesn't add up? is it possible for the media to believe that even those who voted for obama and want some of the things that he has talked about have realized that now, wait a minute, maybe we can't afford all of this at least right now. is there no one in the media that understands that? is there no one in washing top in washington that stands that, no one who reported on the prize of halliburton over and over again, and sees acorn and the corruption there and the apollo alliance and seiu and how the president is using
2:03 am
these groups. >> the supreme court never looked into redistribution of wealth. the tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court focused, i think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change. glenn: that is probably the most important thing that explains everything. that is the most important thing i think this president has said. does nobody in the media see that on the czars, it's not a political witch-hunt? americans are just uncomfortable with revoluntionary read cals having unchecked authority -- revoluntionary radicals have unchecked authority on all kinds of things? we don't even know who these people are. healthcare. healthcare. americans are promised an open and honest debate before overhauling the system. that promise isn't kept. in fact, yesterday they said
2:04 am
no, no, we're not even going to post it on-line. what? on the bailouts and american spending, the americans want to see the government play and live by the same rules we do. bad investment? live with the consequences of your own actions. if you don't have the money, you can't spend t we can't. how do you keep doing it? they can't see that point of view? i believe they see it and they do get it, but the people in washington and the media are part of the problem. not all of them. i'm trying to bring you the truth. a lot of people on this network are trying to bring you the truth every single day. i'm trying to understand the world we live in here. i might get it wrong once in a while, but i will lead with the correction if i get it wrong. i want to be wrong, but here is some of the realities that we face, when a major healthcare company informs its customers of its concerns about healthcare legislation, this government threatens to investigate them, threatens
2:05 am
legal action! they're told by the government, sit down, be quiet! when regular people oppose the government-run healthcare and let be voices be heard at tea parties across the country, they're labeled angry mobs ante baggers and now domestic terrorists, gun-toting radicals! do these look like gun-toting radicals to you? if more and more people stand up, they will only continue to paint those people into the bad guy, and here is the most disturbing thing yet. while they are doing that, they have used the n.e.a. to make propaganda with your tax dollars. we have the audio of a call coming from the white house, where they are saying, hey, now listen, just push the president, you know and his agenda a little bit. push the administration. what? on top of that, they are now indoctrinating our children. we showed you all kinds of video this week. start with this one "the story of stuff."
2:06 am
>> let's start with the government. my friends tell me i should use the tank to symbolize the government. more than 50% of our federal tax money is going to the military, but i'm using a person to symbolize the government because i hold true to the vision and values the government should be of the people, by the people, for the people. >> she followed that with the government's job is to take care of us. no, it's not. is telling that to our children, and telling our children that america is a bad place, is paid for by the tides foundation and all comes out of berkeley, california and it's all over our schools. also this week, we have shown you this. ♪ he said that we must take a stand mmm mmm president obama barack hussein obama he said red, yellow and white
2:07 am
are all equal in his sight ♪ glenn: kids singing a song about barack obama! i'll tell you something, we can't sing christmas carols in this country, but we can do that? and the line that "they're all equal in his sight." sunday i hear that, but it is a capital h. is it a capital h with this guy? you wonder why people are in the street? let me introduce you, america, to some of these crazy gun-toting radicals who refuse to sit by and let it happen. they are concerned moms. that's all they are, moms. moms, saying what is happening to my country? what is happening to our schools? how do we survive this. also, frank luntz is author of a brand new book "what americans really want, really. " i asked frank to come in because he has done town hall meetings or research on meetings, and people all across the country. i want him to verify on what we're hearing, is this abnormal or is this what is happening
2:08 am
across the country? and dr. keith ablow is here, scientist and fox news contributor. he will hold me if it gets scary and say i'm here you for. thanks, doc. mary baker, mother of 7, who holds her daughter crystal who is here, and mary davis, mother of 12. irread your profile today. she also said i like to blog and like books. how about sleep? and a 9/12 project volunteer coordinator, angel robinson, coordinateer for the campaign for liberty. ok. ladies where do we start? we asked you tell us what is on your mind. i feel like richard dawson "and the survey says!" thinks that concern you. it was amazing how consistent
2:09 am
you were. history lessons are not being taught to our children. that is pretty much the theme of the first one. it was basically that our kids -- they don't even know what america is anymore. they don't even know the history. mary, you want to comment there? >> what i would like to say about that is we need to know our history. i wrote the article "why i am no longer an african-american" because it seems like in these times in our nation, we should be together. we should be americans, and it seems like we're being so torn apart, and one of the things we need to teach our children, because it was a long time ago, 40 years ago, that we needed to see the time our children could walk hand in hand and not have to be separate and unequal, and now in this time where we've given the golden opportunity, it's happening again. glenn: who is tearing us apart? they will say on the floor of
2:10 am
the senate, they actually said my name, in a debate, and they said that all this is being caused by me and people like me. i'm like, they know who i am? they hate me. i feel so good inside! [applause] so who is tearing us apart? is it the media? is it people like me? is it the tea party people? >> it's the government. >> it's the government. >> it's the media, for sure. >> the only people i have heard doing the name calling are flan si pelosi -- nancy pelosi, the pundits on cnn, the pundits on abc, nbc. i quit watching regular news on the night of the election when they called me a racist because i happen to live in the south and didn't vote for barack obama. i don't watch them anymore. glenn: the president says he doesn't believe that.
2:11 am
>> he says anything. >> the media says it's ok to call us all these things and try to shut us down. we're here to say we're not shutting up. we're not sitting down. we're going to stand up! if we don't show our kids what the government is doing to us now, they won't have a future. our kids are our future, as the song goes, and our forefathers fought and died for us for freedom, for us. now it's our turn to do the same for our children, so they can grow up into a better world than it is now. [applause] glenn: let me take a hand poll. raise your hand if you agree with this statement, that the democrats and the republicans
2:12 am
and the independents you know in real life, the people that are your neighbors, those people are driven than the people -- those people are different than the people we have elected and send to washington. bonnie says kind of, a little, why not? >> it depends on where you live? i live in a liberal, ultraliberal community, and i see the anger every day, and i don't like it. i feel completely alone in the town that i live. glenn: you live in the new york area? >> i live in engel wood, new jersey. glenn: sorry for that. but no, i think that's the thing about the media missing. there are pockets that liberals move. like in texas, so there are throws pockets, but generally speaking, the people that are our neighbors are driven than the people that we send out to washington. >> hello, everyone. this is a fox news alert.
2:13 am
president obama is about to speak at the g20 summit in pittsburgh at the david lawrence convention center. he is going to announce the progress made at the summit and will be taking questions on the developing situation with iran. let's listen in. >> pittsburgh has been extraordinary hosts. last night during the dinner that i had with world leaders, so many of them commented on the fact that sometime in the past, they had been to pittsburgh, and in some cases, 20, 25 or 30 years ago, and coming back, they were so impressed with the revitalization of the city. a number of them remarked on the fact that it pointed to lessons that they could take away in revitalizing manufacturing towns in their home countries. the people here have been just extraordinary and so i want to thank all of you for the great hospitality. i will tell you, i'm a little resentful, because i did not get

2:43 am
glenn: today we're spending an hour with moms, and we could spend probably two, three, four hours with you guys. will you come back? we'd love to have you. [applause] one of the last points, and believe me, there were 40 pages, 40 pages when we asked what is it that you're concerned about? 40 pages! they returned withs these as the top three. the last one is killing our children's future. what does our future look like? kerry, we were talking during the break. what is your concern? >> i have been concerned when they passed that bill defunding acorn and also to have the federal acorn take over all of the student loans. how do we know now that they're not going to direct our children into professions that they think
2:44 am
that they should be taking that they're lacking, not something that our kids want to go into, but something they're being forced into or they won't get a loan? with the economy the way it is, we're not all going to be able to pay for our kids' education. we need student loans. >> another thing that is outrageous is how big government is marrying the corporations and selling us down the river, like the cap and trade they're trying to pass. corporations are lobbying for legislation. it is a job killer. it is going to raise energy prices and going to kill the economy. how is that help helping america? glenn: does anybody know when lobbyists started? does anybody know this? it was actually -- it wasn't f.d.r. but it was the first guy came in during the wilson administration. he was a guy, one of the first real big nasty progressives, and he said we have this big war going on and i have to move to washington to represent some of the companies there.
2:45 am
after the war was over, he was, like, gee, there is a lot of money to be made here, and it was in the 1930's during the new deal that everything cranked back up. that's why who really feels like you really have someone in washington representing you? >> i do. glenn: you do? well, he is unfortunately, not my direct representative, but there is only one person representing, i think, everybody, in terms of holding up the oath of the constitution. >> who is that? >> congressman ron paul. he started the tea parties and what he has done for our country is amazing. glenn: well, there's one! there's one. kelly, go ahead first, and then we'll go to kelly. oh, go ahead, kelly. >> we have on our concerneds and i'm glad we're getting together and fighting back, but i feel like the more we fight back, the more the government is fighting back in our direction.
2:46 am
i chose to home school my kids because i don't want them being indoctrinated and i don't want to vaccinate even on the government's schedule and the government feels losing control and they say well, you can home school, but you have to teach this curriculum, you still have to teach the pro homosexual tolerance agenda and you still have to vaccinate because your kids are going out in public. it is one of those things, what can we do if the more we fight and stand on our personal rights to say, ok, my family, i i will do things my way instead of your way and they take those things away. glenn: how many people went to a town hall? i will tell you something. i had somebody in the media, a media person that will remain nameless tell me that they work at the newspaper, and they have been covering all these town halls, and they have never seen anything like it before, and they're actually on the side of the people who are going to these meetings and holding the feet to the fire, but the
2:47 am
politicians, they think they're the best buddies of the guy from the newspaper and he said don't ever say my name, because they all think i'm on their side, but they're all telling me this will go away. these people will stop showing up. i don't think so. i don't think so. real outrage from real people who just want their country back. >> that's right! )ltpspynvyfkpttp
2:51 am
glenn: tonight we're talking to the people that the media would like you to believe are terrorists and radicals and out of control and killers and you name it. crazy people. people who are just standing up for their communities and saying enough is enough. tonight, it is just moms, moms that are concerned. who is in their comfort zone, or would have said a year ago, i'm comfortable doing these things? yeah, none of them. linda, you were saying in the break -- >> i was saying that this isn't going to go away, because now when i call my family and friends and we discuss what is going on, all we do is discuss this. a year ago, we used to talk about what was the new fashions, what was the best movie that was out, who was going to win the
2:52 am
academy award. that is all gone. glenn: is anybody frustrated by those people now? because i will run into those people -- good god, you're talking about that? nancy. >> on a positive note, i have to say that i felt completely alone, and especially the woman from engelwood. i come from new york, a very liberal area. i was totally closeted. no one knew what i thought. i went to a tea party not knowing a single person and i walked on two separate occasions right into other moms that i know, our kids are in the same class. neither of us had the slightest ing inkling that they felt the same way, because we were all closeted. now we have the sisterhood of mommy patrons. you're not alone! for anyone out there who wants to help, get yourself to a tea party and party on. you are not alone! glenn: you came from your family from vince gnat ti. >> we did. did. we drove -- we drove from
2:53 am
cincinnati. we left last night. we drove in the car and it's because we're so concerned about our children and so upset and angry about what is happening to our country. i'm an assistant organizer with the cincinnati 9/12 project, and i have never done anything like this in my life. this is a first for me. glenn: are you guys all teaching your children to keep journals, keep a diary? i tell my kids that every day, write in your journal. white a diary. you are not only living in historic times, you are part of history r it's amazing. >> to try and get everybody closer, it is the same thing. we never did anything like this, because we felt we were the minority, and we were scared to even speak up, and like when we would go to school, you know, and say something we didn't like, that the school would do, they felt like they labeled us, and i felt that we couldn't say anything, because then our kids would be targeted, but now i
2:54 am
don't fear doing that, and i was reading your "real america" book and i had a great thought when you talked about communities and your neighborhoods, and i just -- the school starts, and a woman two doors down, she has lived there six years and i never knew her name and now i know her name and we talk at the bus stop. i'm doing my neighborhood, i want to do a block party so everyone gets to know each other and get back to how it was when i was younger. glenn: let's get a show of hands. how many think that the real solution in our country is if things -- let me rephrase it. let me start here. how many of you are willing for lose absolutely everything, start all over, live at the bottom of the barrel if there's freedom at end of it for our children? how many people here -- how many
2:55 am
2:59 am
glenn: final thoughts. first we go to mandy. >> i want to say that as a single mother, i have learned everything through other women. if your schools and communities can't teach, you have to be the ones that teach. >> leslie. >> we need to teach our children the constitution, what their rights are rrk the bill of rights that when they are starting to be usurped, they ask stand up and say these are my rights. >> i was reading a scripture with my five-year-old and i said look at what a hero he is. at five, he said, no, dad, he can't fly. we have to teach our kids about real heroes, not superheros. find the real american heroes, because we need that. we will talk about the superheros next week. >> the american people say you're the best. if you begin everything with, as a mom, you win. glenn: good
