[captioning made possible by fox captioned by the national captioning institute ---www.ncicap.org--- bots. glenn: welcome to the glenn beck program. which of these don't belong? terrorist, mob, hate monger, mom, racist, and first we will talk about the president going over to copen hangen. they didn't get it done. i have no problem with chicago trying to get the olympics. that wasn't what it was about. now that it was on the front page of the paper, we will forget about the real meaning of the story, corruption and valerie jarrett, corruption in

chicago that now lives in the white house, but i saw the best headline i think i have seen in a long time was on "the drudge report" today and that picture of barack obama that said "the ego has landed." now he says he will focus on the number one issue, the economy, but you know what? he's wrong again. there is a new report out, a new poll that shows the number one issue is no longer the economy. it is corruption and ethics but even that is wrong. it's not. i think america believes it is accountability. hold these weasels accountable, and i'm going to show you tonight how you can do it. come on, follow me. well, hello, america. how are you? i feel a little like the president, and i need to say "prompter, please. thank you. a little farther, prompter."

there. hello, america. tonight we have a couple of things that we have to do. we're going to spend time with moms. i have been thinking about the show that we did when was it, last friday, and i have been getting a ton of response on it. it has been overwhelming. last night, i went to philadelphia and cherry hill, new jersey, and had a couple of book signings to do and something struck me. the crowds were enormous. they went all the way around -- i don't mean like out the door and around the corner. i mean out the door, around the corner, around the corner, around the corner, all the way around the block, and there was an unusual number of females in the audience. now, sure, it could be because of my molten hotness. i mean, who doesn't want a slice of this, huh, ladies? go ahead, laugh. but they were there, i know, because they're moms. they're grand moms.

it is in their nature to protect their children. i think guys right now are freaking out. they're like, ok, i got to keep my job and pay for the house and college and everything else, but moms are realizing that this government is putting their children's future at risk. it is becoming clearer every day that there is no way we can sustain this kind of spending and this kind of government, not just adding on top of it. we can't sustain what we did in the past. i was trying to figure out a way to explain this to you today, and the best way to do it is america is like the guy who is on all the credit cards. we're high on credit cards, and we have just maxed out every single card. well, one of these credit cards, we know we are doomed. these ones we have been playing with and we make minimum payments, but this one, we got to pavement well, there's no way to pay it, because we're flat broke, so what do we do? we go to the mailbox, and we get a letter from one of those great

banks that says, dear mr. beck. we got news for you! you get more money from us! all you have to do is just call this number, and then the the new lid credit card i guess is the best we could do today. then if you're the typical person that is ready to be declaring bankruptcy soon, you take the credit card that you couldn't really afford, and you transfer it on to this credit card, which then frees this credit card up for even more spending. then next month, you have to worry about this credit card, and the month after that, this credit card. that's what we're doing. it ain't going to end well, gang. it doesn't take a genius to look at all of the things our government wants to do in addition. government healthcare. cap and trade. bailouts. universal college. we realize as americans we

cannot afford t we may want it, but we can't afford it, which means there must not be as many geniuses in the fringe media, because they still think that people who show up at tea parties are saying, hey, wait a minute, hold it. we can't afford all these things, that they're just anti-obama rallies. they are not. they are moms and dads and grandparents. they are now kids. i saw more college kids at these book signings last night than i have seen in a long time. they're all across america and they are awake. these are people that have been on the sidelines, content to live their lives an just try to make it through the day. look, man, i have been there myself. you're like, whatever, i don't want to make a scene, let's just move on. no more. how can you remain on the sidelines when you continue to see things like the corruption at acorn, or actual communists like van jones, or the wierdos like john holdren who has advocating disturbing population control methods? gee, i know he says he wouldn't

want to do it now, but gosh, if the earth really had a temperature, would he change his mind back? how about cass sunstein who wants to give the rats in your basement an attorney? how could you possibly sit on the sidelines when we keep seeing the indoctrination attempts on our children, the anti-capitalism "the story of stuff" made by tides. this audience knows who tides s then there is the all equalness in his sights, not jesus, but obama. last night, i was on the tour bus, and i was watching o'reilly and i saw a clip that amazed me. go ahead and show this. this is, once again, a video that the o'reilly people found. that is a little boy that gets into cross cross-dressing. what do you say we go for math? what do you say we teach math

and history? i'm just saying. moms and dads have had enough. enough! they have put up with the bridges to nowhere and the airports to nowhere and the tunnels for turtles too long. i met so many moms last night who were getting involved just going to school board meetings. your eyes would bleed with all the stuff they told me they had seen, and that's the good news! you're awake, america, you're awake, especially moms. i have been saying to my radio audience who has heard me say this two years now, maybe three. i have been saying, moms, you got to realize you're sarah connor. i don't even know if i understood what that was when i said it or why i was saying it. you're sarah connor. remember her from the terminator movies? yeah. ok. this is a bad example. usually she is like, mom, you you also don't need to crawl

backwards or pump iron or know how to fight robots, although i wouldn't be surprised to hear that everyone in washington, d.c. is and an droid, but i believe that moms are the key, because of this. which one doesn't belong? terrorist. mop. hate monger. mom, racist, gop shill. mom. mob is the one that doesn't fit there -- mom doesn't fit there and why does it matter? to stand up and say i'm really angry about something, because you're going to take om action or whatever, but how do you go after moms? i would like to see a million moms across the country, 2 million, 5 million moms. somebody needs to start that project.

that's what i thought last week when i was on a plane flying out to seattle. i found out wednesday there is one mom thinking exactly the same thing at exactly the same time. joining us tonight, lori parker, a mom of four. after watching our 9/12 moms show, we was inspired to start a 9/12 moms website called asamom.org. barbara was at the moms 9/12 web show, and mary baker, mom of 7, joining us again, she was also at the 9/12 moms show. she is a blogger. mary, what is the website? >> marymbaker.blog spot.com. glenn: you called me wednesday. >> wednesday morning. glenn: you said you were inspired by the show and the moms thaw saw. take me through the scene. >> i had seen the show and a few

things resonated and i said i feel so alone, and then i got a group together and we called ourselves the sisterhood of the mommy patriots, and then we came up with if you begin everything with "as a mom," you win. when i woke up the next morning, i thought about having a group, and i looked on-line and there wasn't a group and wrote on my blog that three people follow and said wouldn't it be cool if there were this group? and i got all these responses. i told my husband, i have this crazy idea, stop me, and he just, whatever, and so i called one of my best friends in the world, who has always been my sounding board, and well, stop

me i said if i'm going to do something crazy. i said i think iw3 need a site site that is called "as a mom" and you need to tell me not to do. thisç she said "i will be your very first member." that night, we figured out how to put it up. she was my first member. monday morning, we had a third member. we had 18 members wednesday morning when i called you. by wednesday night, we had 3,000 members, and last night we had 5,000. i'm not sure of the numbers at the moment. they're rising. glenn: i'm sure they're rising even right now. isn't it amazing? here is the real secret to all of this and this is why i started the 9/12 project or suggested people did it, because it's amazing how empowered you feel when you realize i'm not alone. >> that's right. glenn, you have really tapped into something powerful. i got to thank you for something

that show on friday, because i can just feel the momentum building among moms. i have heard from so many moms who have felt isolated and alone. they have been in the closet of conservatives because they're afraid they are the only ones and afraid to exexpress their feelings and their thoughts and the information that they gathered through research, and they're starting to realize they're not alone. it's amazing. glenn: don't you think this is why things have gone out of control? because nobody wants to cause any problems, and so they have just said, oh, be quiet and i won't raise a stink? >> right. i think the thing that you have done is told moms they are important, and if you tell the moms they are important, because for the last 40 years they have been saying you have no value, go and stay in the closet and put your slippers on, or whatever it is you don't do. >> watch "the view" and watch "oprah."

glenn: if i hear a mom say to me one more time, i hate this phrase, "what do you do?" oh, "i'm just a mom." when are mothers going to stand up and demand the respect they deserve. my mom is like, yes, mom, yes, mom. my father demanded that we respect them and we did that. when is society going to know that women and moms need to be list everyoned. listened to. you have the hardest and most respected job in america. >> as a writer, i have been working on this for years to empower moms to make them understand that even though we don't get a report card and performance reviews and raises and all the other kind of outward symbols that people get that they are doing a important job, we have the most important job in the world. we have to learn how to find the satisfaction and encourage each other. glenn: what is your website going to do? what is your vision for it?

>> the vision for the site was to get moms together and get talking. a lot of questions were raised by last week's show. moms are worried about education. they're worried about the future, and as i was talking with my friends, we realized moms have the answers. there are plombs that are former teachers out there. they know what are great textbooks. there are plombs that want to run are the school board and don't know how. there is somebody out there that is right for a school board and can go for them. i am already seeing questions and answers. it is so exciting. glenn: for the first time when we come back, i want to hear your stories because you have unique stories that i think are fascinating but i want to jump on this textbook thing here before a quick break. i remember when my daughter first went into first grade, and i said to the teacher, the dopey dad, i said do you have like a syllabus or anything?

she looked at me and said what? i said, what are you going to be working on? she looked at me and she said, "mr. beck "-- this is when i was still a quiet little mouse. she said "mr. beck, this is our job. i'll take care of this, ok? don't you worry about it." even then when i was still mousy, i said excuse me, this is my child. i am responsible for the education, now, are you looking for people who saw say who know textbooks? demand the books. you looking for people who have done these things in different communities and say, this is what you do? >> i think we're looking for that. right now, i'm seeing a lot of questions more than answers. the biggest concern, i think, about education that i have been getting is that because of the direction it's been going, with the no child left behind, we've actually made it to no child can

excel, and we've taught our children everything has to be fair. you can't excel. in my informal poll i did last night with the site, i had probably the most answers on that that children are learning they're not supposed to be self reliant. glenn: we'll be back in just a second. 

>> america is a godden-inspired idea and if you take him out, we can't have america without god. >> parents are feeling that our children are not being respected as individuals and allowed to grow. >> our forefathers fought and died for us for freedom for us. now it's our time to do the same for our children. >> 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 inkling that they felt the same way, because like i say, we were all closeted. now we have the sisterhood of the mommy patrons. you are not alone. glenn: you know, it is amazing. that is why we are in the

situation we're in, is because they want people to not believe that we're together. you were saying what was that? >> i received e-mails from nancy and her friends who attended last week, and they said one of their goals with being on the show was to use the phrase of "the sisterhood of mommy patriots" so someone would go start a group. glenn: you're kidding me? >> no. if i read the e-mail right, it was very late last night. glenn: oh, my gosh. >> this is what is cool is because there is power in numbers. it is like they have used the alinsky thing about paralyzing the opposition. moms have been paralyzed by tough conservative values thinking they're alone in the community, and what you did last week was you put us on t.v. and all of a sudden everybody knows this is real and it's something, and i can feel the momentum building. glenn: it's amazing. you mentioned saul alinsky. you were a radical.

actually at one point you regretted that you didn't bomb like the weather underground. >> that's true. i have been rather an extremist, but i was in washington, d.c. in the '60's and early '07's and during the anti-vietnam war protests and became an an activist an protestor at marchers, but i already had a baby so i couldn't go out and dot weather underground thing, but i felt very guilty, because i felt like those were the ones really living up to the dream. glenn: what was your turning point? >> really? my turning point was in 1987 when i became a christian and realized that it eliminated a lot of things and made me realize that i had a lot to be grateful for and life wasn't about destroying and hating and that it was really about creating something beautiful. glenn: you were a welfare mom? >> well, from d.c. i went to san francisco. i lived in san francisco and became a drug addict and welfare mom, and in 1980 i turned my

life around with the 12-step program, which is familiar to you. glenn: i hear you. not that i'm a drunk! she's crazy and out of control! >> i married somebody who is a wonderful man who is also a recovering addict/alcoholic and we had a bunch of kids and started building a business, which will really make a conservative out of you. glenn: it sure will! >> and in 1987 we became christians an everything changed for us. >> why are you here? >> like barbara was saying, life is different when you're a christian. glenn: is that the motivating factor for you, too? >> yes, definitely. i'm not a sellout. i just know that when you have something divine in your life, you don't see things like color, and just superficial things, but, you know, i've gone through being a single parent of four kids, struggled, went through

school to get my degree. i remember when i was running with my first husband, i had two kids and one was handicapped with cerebral palsy, two and a half years old and my sister lives in houston and picks me up and brings me over there. that was the beginning of a changed life for me. then i went on to school. the major change in my life is when i accepted christ and performed a new way of thinking. as a mom, there are so many moms out there that don't realize that there is something better. glenn: that is part of the problem with moms is they are trapped in their thinking, because they're at home, with the children. they feel alone. they feel isolated. and so society teaches moms that, oh, you really should have a job. you should really do something with your life, really. >> well, that's what has been great about the bloggers, because with blogs and internet,

our lives are opening up. glenn: america, we're going to go in a different direction here in just a second, but i want to tell you, as a mom.org is just the beginning. moms, you are going to make the difference. more with the 9/12 moms and the sign of the times, next. quality and reliability... 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.

>> hello, everyone. there is a big party happening right now in rio, brazil, the

city chosen by the international olympic committee to host the 2016 olympic games, the first games ever held in south america. earlier today, president obama con congratulated rio de janeiro and said he was proud of the bid his hometown of chicago put forward, and the president today meet wghts top u.s. commander in afghanistan, general stanley mccrystal. the white house says the meeting aboard air force i was helpful to the president in focusing on his war strategy. glenn beck returns in a moment but first bret baier has a preview of what is on "special report" tonight. >> unemployment hits a 26-year high and the vice president touts the stimulus package. plus, wait until you hear what is happening behind closed doors with healthcare legislation. join me at top of the hour for "special report," but now back to glenn beck. >> glenn: next week we have some amazing things for you on the program. monday we're going to tell you

what montana is doing to ease federal restrictions on gun laws. why is the montana shooting sports association lawsuit exciting for people who think i should be able to have a gun? you don't want to miss it on monday's program. also next week, swine flu. things you don't want to miss. joining us now is lori parker, mom of four, after watching our 9/12 moms show, he was inspired to start a 9/12 moms website called asamom.org. barbara curtis is a mom of 126789 she was at the 9/12 moms show and has a website for moms called mommylife.net and mary baker, mother of 7, also a 9/12 mom. she is a blogger and i still don't have the name of it. sorry, mary. >> marymbaker.blogspot.com. glenn: got it. easy to remember. let me start with a couple of things s there anybody in washington that any of you guys

can relate to? >> no. glenn: nobody? >> i think that we are on to issues more than people and personalities. i don't think that we're focused on trying to find a person. we're more concerned with the issues right now. glenn: what is it that -- have you ever belonged to a party? do you still belong to a party or have you left a party? >> i'm still a registered republican. i'm seriously thinking, though, about switching to independent. >> i'm a registered republican, so i can vote in my primary. >> i'm a rej aresterred republican for the same -- i'm a registered republican for the same reason, so i can vote in the primary r. glenn: but there is nobody you relate to and look at and say? >> sarah palin! glenn: so if i may, the dumb

ones. >> that's what the media says about moms. sarah palin is a mom with a child with disabilities, so, you know, same thing. gln:ou wer sayg earlier about your analogy. >> i was thinking about how much more revved are up and confident we felt after being on the show last friday, and diswufts making new friends after doing what i was doing, and i thought about the geese formation, you know, how we're starting to see them now flying home. they fly in a v, and i was looking that up and i found out that the reason they fly in a v is because when they are flapping their wings, it creates an updraft for the ones that come behind them, and so the whole formation is more effective and more efficient in the way they fly. notice how geese honk at each other, you know there is a reason for it? they are honking encouragement

to the leader goose, the lead. they are so beautiful in the way god created them. also, when one is injured and drops out of formation, two follow it and take care of it until it dies or until it gets well and then start a new formation or find the old one. i just see that there is so much power in community. that's what you have done is released this among us moms so we have a way to create, like lori, you're not creating it for us. glenn: no. >> you gave us the forum. lori started something. mar rir and i became friends. we connected because of this. glenn: this is what the media doesn't understand. if they ignore it, it will be at their own peril that they sink that they can live in a world now where they can just ignore things and it will go away. it will not. >> it's not going away. glenn: i have to take a break. we're going to come back in just

a second. we have frank luntz with us and he is going to try to show you -- you know, all of these organizations, seiu and acorn and everything, they have focus groups and millions of dollars. you're a mom, a dad, a grandparent. that's who you are. how do you do things? what do you say on the signs? how do you do these things? frank luntz, next. clear clear

glenn: all kinds of americans have attended the rallies on 9/12 in washington and everywhere else. they held up signs to get their message across, but the media saw this message and these signs

>> well, it was images like those that captured the attention of our leaders that ill elicited reaction from tea parties like. this. >> some people were watching certain news channels of which i'm not very popular on, and you see folks waving tea bags around. let me just remind them that i am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our healthcare costs down over the long term, but let's not play games and pretend that the reason isn't because of the recovery act.

>> we call it astroturf. it is not really a grassroots movement. it is astroturf by some of the wealthiest people in america to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class. >> i don't think it's indicative of the nation's mood. i don't think we ought to be distracted by that. my message to them is they're wrong. glenn: ok. so washington doesn't understand what people are trying to say to them. so how do you get them to listen? here now is the author of "what americans really want, really," frank luntz. frank, i had you on the radio show a couple of days ago and we talked about the different signs that people see as tea parties, and while washington may not believe that this is grassroots, they don't have organizations like seiu and acorn that do focus groups and then find out what to have printed by union members on signs. most of the people just make them themselves. you say it's important to watch the wording. what should the signs say? what is the message, first of

all that you found through research? >> well, first, the message is the reason why i wrote "what americans really want really" and you have been very involved in this effort and i wanted to write on the language behind this. in the last six months that's all i have been doing is studying this anger out there in america, and for nancy pelosi, not a gas roots movement? come on! 72% of americans define themselves as mad as hell and not going to take it any more. why are they so angry? they feel like they're not being heard. every member of congress and every senator that doesn't hold at least a dozen town hall meetings is denying the american people the one thing that they t more than anything else, glenn, to be heard. freedom of speech is the most powerful component of the bill of rights. we tapped into all the pollings in the book. it is not just to speak. they want their elected officials to represent them rather than ignore them. glenn: let's go over, because we

have signs made up. i don't know if you can see me out in chicago -- by the way, we're really sorry about the olympics there in chicago, really. seriously. >> i can imagine. glenn: here is the first sign. you say just put one word on it. >> yeah. it is the word "why," and the reason why is that the american people look towards washington and they don't understand it. they don't understand the spending. they don't understand the programs. they don't understand why washington can't even figure out how to download 1,000 pages, which you can and i can do like a snap of the fingers and yet then washington says they want to take over healthcare for 300 million people. glenn, the key in all of this, and i say this to the moms who are watching, simplicity is the most powerful sign that you can have. the shorter the sign, the better. the more simple, the better. glenn: there was a new study out, rasmussen today, and we have talked about this a lot in the last couple of weeks, that

for the first time in a while now, accountability or corruption is now beating the economy as the number one concern, which leads to, i think, to the second sign. >> yes. and it's three words "accountability, why not?" and i want to quote you from the work we did in the book, for those of you who have it, page 187. when you think of government, which of the following do you think is needed most, even more than common sense and even more than change, which is what barack obama proposed. 53% of americans choose accountability as the number one attribute. right now, they don't see t they don't feel it and they're right about it. what kind of accountability do you have when the american people can't even see the legislation that washington is voting on? glenn: this one, frank, speaks volumes to me, because this is the way, i think so many people

feel, especially the ones that went to the town hall meetings and they felt i have a right to be heard. >> and that's the whole process behind it. we still believe in the bill of rights. we still believe in the declaration of independence. heck, we fought a battle over independence, because a government wasn't listening to the people, but here's the point. if you notice in each of these so far, those rights to be heard, in each of them, they're positive. they're uplifting. they're asserting what americans believe to themselves. glenn: right. >> it is no attack on barack obama. there is no mention of democrats, because this is a non-partisan outkai from the american people. the right to be heard is so fundamental in american life. husbands expect it from wives an vice versa. children want it from parents and vice versa. why shouldn't we have the right to be heard from those we elect? glenn: when we come back, i will run through the rest of the signs quickly when we come back. 9 moms have a couple of questions for you, and i want to pick up that this is the

opposite of saul alinsky, will it work to be positive in america? i think it will, but you are the expert on that. @=h%%%%%%%

glenn: we're back with frank luntz and our moms here. frank is the author of "what americans really want, really," and i just want to go through these signs real quick, signs that frank says this is what the tea party people should be carrying. the next one is "how much will it cost?" and then -- >> and that's also part of "stop wasting my money." the number one thing american people want out of washington is to stop wasteful spending. 62% choose that as their first or second top priority. nothing else comes close. glenn: these are such common sense. who will pay for it with a dollar sign. before you sign it, read it. don't make promises you can't keach. >> i love that one. glenn: this is the most cheffer out of them all, but it's so true "the i.r.s., the post office, katrina, and now

healthcare?" >> by the way, the language is would you trust a government that goof you the compassion of the i.r.s., the efficiency of the post office and effectiveness of katrina to now deliver healthcare for your family? glenn: nobody would do it in a million years. let's hope it up to the moms. does this work, frank, because this is opposite of what everybody in a political movement say would work. everybody would say you got to go negative. this is positive. it is like, that makes sense. >> because the american people are tired of negativity. they think that washington has gone negative on them. what they're asking for, if you just ask the american people, is that they want hope. they want opportunity, and for the moms right there, this is a great lead in to them, the two statistics from "what americans really want really" the things that bothers them the most, 57% believe that their children will inherit a worse america than they did, and number 2, 33% believe that their children will have a better quality of life.

imagine that, moms. america is with you. they agree with you, and they are so afraid for their children and the next generation. >> i have a question about that sign "i have a right to be heard." myself and my friends, barbara, we have children with disabilities. i know when i was in seattle, hi two friends, and they had children with disabilities. how did their voice get heard, because that special population seems to be the one that's always neglected? >> they're heard actually by showing up, and if they sit in the front. in fact, my strategy for them is to get their especially early and sit right in the front, because if you're an elected official, you will feel responsibility to call on the mom, and with the children with disabilities, if they can speak, if they can, for them to ask the question. it's that much more powerful. glenn: it goes back to what i said about moms, that moms are the key, because moms aren't

terrorists. moms aren't hate mongers. they're not racists. they're moms. >> let me give you the statistics. the four most mistrusted professions, one, the pharmacist, firemen, and the most trusted profession in in america is the mom. >> if wier's the most trusted, frank, how come we don't get taken seriously? i hear from so many moms and i feel it myself. you go in to talk to somebody and they give you the automatic eye roll. oh, it's another mom. glenn: frank, help me out here. i think that comes from women saying i'm just a mom. it's the most important thing anybody does. i think if you start taking yourself seriously and say "damn right, i'm a mom," instead of "i'm just a mom." damn right i'm a mom! the whole thing changes, am i right, frank? >> you are right.

moms need to organize. you need to do the meetings you have and expand. what you say when everybody comes in, leave your politics at the door. leave your partisanship is the the door and commit as moms to doing those things we need to do for the next generation. no more spending. no more taxes. no more of these things that are making it so much more difficult, not just for you as a mom but for your children as they get older. glenn: we'll be right back in just a minute. es...
