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, hell

for now, glenn beck. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] glenn: welcome to the glenn beck program. tonight, the ingredients of a puzzle. i'm also going to tell you about "saturday night live." do you see they actually made fun of barack obama? but i don't believe it is -- i don't think it's -- i think it's a warning to him from the left. i'll explain, coming up. we have a lot to do. buckle up, and grab a pencil and paper because you will need to take some notes in the next few minutes. ifif you believe this country is great but corruption is taking us down, it's time to stand up! come on, follow me. hello, america. it is going to take three things to get us out of this hole. it is going to take honest questions. question with boldness. then, hold on to the truth. no matter what it is. no matter what you find, if it's the truth, it's the truth. hold on to that truth and then speak without fear. well, this is an odd process. i think that we are living through history right now. i know we are. thi

to glenn beck. glenn: on thursday, i want to you join me for a special show, an hour-long special on the swine flu. i'm not going to give you my opinion on the swine flu. i don't think anybody but your doctor should give you their opinion on the swine flu. this is for every american to ask themselves, am i going to give this injection to my children? we're going to have a half hour of those who say absolutely not, medical doctors, and then the second half is, are you crazy? you must. you decide. that will be a special hour thursday. honest questions that i don't think will be asked or answers anyplace else. now, there are a couple of stories i need to update you on. first montana. we told you about the gun rights bill that passed mon montana's legislature. it challenges federal regulations of firearms. this is not about gun rights. this story is about the commerce laws. it went into effect october 1st, and as planned, we have now a lawsuit in montana. gary marbuck told us this story a few months ago

glenn: right. he said those rich countries or those countries need to be penalized through global taxes to pay and help the poor countries. if i may, take from america, and give to the poor countries. >> that's correct. when you do that within a country, it is bad enough, because it takes away from production and motivation and rewards idleness. when you do that from a country to the rest of the world, his proposition would leave america as a country desolate. glenn: we would be the disease, wouldn't we? >> we are praintsing ourselves into this corner where we have a president flying around apologizing for everything. we are a big part of the problem, because of corruption and everything else. we went over and said buy them, but they bought them just as anybody who bought a house who knew they couldn't afford t. >> they demanded it and we honored the market. glenn: they were involved as well. but everybody needs a villain, if it all falls apart. we are going to be the world's villain. >> i view it

but as long as you've got the howard behl type characters like glenn beck out there.

you're watching "countdown" on msnbc. >>> glenn beck is a cynic in the nation of believers.st, the number two story, a fun house view of the mirror in the world. oba obama's safe school czar is a guy promoting homosexuality in the schools and a 15-year-old kid to have a homosexual relationship with an older man, and even facilitated it. the adviser is named kevin jennings. he wrote while he was a high school counselor he met a male student who had a relationship with an older man who was 16. past the legal age so he didn't call the scotts. as to limbaugh's fascination with that topic, i refer you to the limbaugh comedy are you teen by the late bill hicks. a terrorist thought he was giving money to buy night goggles for a terrorist training camp. he was arrested in february 2007, but oddly the bush administration did not make a big deal about it. possibly because he also had transferred $15,000 to the national republican congressional committee and $20,000 to the national republican sen toll carry committee. that's one of the inner circle members for life. and our winner, mic

glenn beck is not aligned with any party, as far as i can tell. he's aligned with cynicism. and and there's always been a market for cynicism, but we became a great nation, not because we're a nation of cynics, we became a great nation because we're a nation of believers, that on the other side of the mountain is worth going to look at. >> cynicism was on full display yesterday with beck and his ongoing effort to -- decided to use a can of snuff to bring the point home. >> i want to talk to you tonight about copenhagen, two different kind of copenhagens, remember this, copenhagen, this is the first one. i'll tell you about that at the every end. >> tell me now. >> the second copenhagen is in denmark, to the international olympic committee's vote to host the 2016 game. the president hopes to land there and bring the olympics back to chicago and then back. and glenn beck's chalk board knows better, the president only wants to bring the olympics to chicago so he can make his friends rich, his friends who love communists, cop killers, slum lords and probably tobacco, what about

rush limbaugh oxycontin, glenn beck alcoholic, danny bonaduce alcoholic? >> current drinker, not kidding. >> george bush ex-alcoholic, i mean -- >> literally jumping on the wagon. i jumped off. >> don't you think when you're an alcoholic or a drug addict and then you quit you really still have that addictive personality. you've got to put it some place else so where did you put it? >> i put it back in the bar where it belonged. >> where did you put your addiction? what are you addicted to now, talking on the radio. >> talking incessantly. it's horrifying. i use up all the oxygen in the room. >> andy glenn beck's addiction might be getting more and more publicity. >> why don't the republicans -- why do they align themselves with people like glenn beck and rick lunch but a, these zealots? >> who. >> the republicans. >> they are not exactly aligning. >> they don't say anything. >> they don't say anything. >> because they know they have a base, just like sarah palin. they know she's dumb but she has a tremendous base in the republican party on the right. >> i

glenn beck, alcoholic. dan nny bonaducci, alcoholic. george bush, exalcoholic. >> they're jumping on the wagon. i jumped off. >> you think you're an alcoholic or a drug addict and you quit, you have that addictive personality. you have to put it some place else. where did you put it? >> i put it back in the bar where it belonged. >> where did you put your addiction? what are you addicted to now? >> talking incescively. it's horrifying. i can't stop. >> glenn beck's addiction might be getting more and more publicity. >> why do republicans align themselves with people like glenn beck and rush limbaugh. these zealots. they don't say -- >> who aligns? >> the republicans. >> they're not aligning. >> they don't say anything. >> they have a base. just like sarah palin. they knew she was dumb, but she has a tremendous base in the republican party on the right. >> i think that's the right analogy. they handled her so well because they didn't attack her as much as they could because they knew it was going to add fuel to the fire. if they keep att

bill: and glenn beck throwing money away. kind of. he will be here to explain the dollar's dilemma. >> this is about our children having some sort of future left. bill: caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thank you for watching us tonight. is there trouble inside the democratic party? that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. as you know, speaker of the house nancy pelosi and senate majority leader harry reid are the two most powerful in the country next to president obama. after meeting with president obama about afghanistan, there was this display. >> madam speaker, the one thing that i think was interesting is that everyone, democrats and republicans, said whatever decision you make, we'll support it, basically. so we will see. bill: wow, am i reading that wrong? did ms. pelosi look uncomfortable? was there a little eye roll going on

glenn beck made a mistake. then they elevated glenn beck.hey gave him an opportunity to say all these things which were very persuasive about vancouver, and msnbc has just run about a minute of glenn beck. >> but what does that do to the other side in terms of democrats versus republicans? >> i think it elevates clearly glenn beck, there's no doubt about it. the white house is responding to him. i think beck won this particular face-off, to be honest. >> harold? >> i happen to agree with pat. whether beck was right or not, whenever you give him more face time, if you believe he's not on the level of the white house, which he's not, you give him a win. two, the real responses probably should come when opponents of health care and opponents of the president's plan with regard to iran or opponents of his plan regarding financial reform, those are the kinds of issues that need to be corrected right away and response needs to be given. i appreciate some ire being raised at the white house about glenn beck, but glenn beck is irrelevant when it com

i would say that glenn beck would admit he's not a republican. i think he is an entertainer in a sense and someone who has very high ratings, but he says things that some people don't like. i think you speak your mind, i think glenn beck speaks your mind. i don't think you're necessarily a democrat, i don't think glenn beck is a republican. i think lindsey graham is right when he says we have to confront things like the birther movement. barack obama is an american. he's president. we have to deal with that. and on so many issues, we can compete with the president that we don't necessarily have to rely on all this other crap that doesn't matter. we need to focus on real issues. >> a.b., how did you take his comments? i took it as it's time to stop the train and redefine who the heck we are and cut to the chase that we're not associated with the crazy talk. what do you think? >> senator graham has always been very bold and after the 2008 elections he did speak very publicly after supporting john mccain about coming to together and how to attract t

let's give you an example of glenn beck, for instance, one of your pals. he said that 45% of doctors say they'll quit health care coverage if reform passes. now, the ama endorsed obama's overhaul in july, so that's not true of doctors. >> the ama doesn't represent all doctors. >> all right. 45% of all doctors -- >> that's like taking a poll of what lawyers think and say, the aclu doesn't say that and that's a group of lawyers. the ama is to lawyers what the aclu is to lawyers. >> which doctors is he talking to? >> you can't call that a lie. you can say i don't like this poll. take my own poll. you can't call that a lie. >> i think it's a lie. he says this is the only country -- >> from my discussions with doctors, i think it's more like 90%. i agree with you. it seems like it's a poll that's underestimating how many doctors are going to drop out of the practice of medicine. >> the ama you have to give some credence. >> no, no, no. it's like the aba. it does not represent all doctors. and point of fact, because i've asked doctors, what is up with this ama?

glenn beck is asking stupid questions about birth certificates.ere's a difference in whether we're talking about icing out people doing real journalism or people just screaming at the president and stoking in glenn beck's case racial hatred. >> there's nobody on fox that he could talk to? like i always point to chris wallace's show. he's fairly balanced himself. his panel is somewhat balanced. he has juan williams as well as the heinous bill crystal. >> i didn't realize that. is that his first name? >> it's lamar crystal. speak to me. >> even major garrett in the white house press corps, he's a straight-up guy and does straight-up reporting. that's a danger here. if you're equating all of fox news with glenn beck, i mean, it's certainly not the case. as your other guests said, it looks like folks are trying to distance themselves from other people on fox news. but also what i think is smart, maybe about this strategy, is that you are seeing republicans also start to distance themselves. you had lindsey graham come out and say basically -- >> that'

since you've beginning the show with me dishing on glenn beck, i want to quickly get out i love glenn beck. >> really? do you really, really? >> yeah. >> people hate him more than they used to hate you r. you jealous? >> a little bit. i think you get that with many conservatives attacking him but he didn't our leader. rush limbaugh isn't our leader. sarah palin isn't our leader. i love them all. but we don't have a leader. a, we are a party without leaders and moreover, we have a liberal obsession with tell us who your leader is and this is they argue. they find leader and destroy him from newt gingrich to tom delay. to sarah palin. >> what do you mean? who destroyed tom delay? we are not going with a leader this time so you have to argue with us on the facts. on the issues. >> i don't think that's -- >> no destroying the leader. >> who would be your leader? >> we don't have a leader. >> joe scarborough saying that the republican party better stop letting glenn beck get away with the hate speech making the republican party, conservatives look bad. what do you think about that? joe sca

since you began this show with me dishing on glenn beck, i just want to quickly get out, i love glenn beck. >> do you? people hate him more than they used to hate you. are you jealous? >> a little bit jealous. >> a little bit. i think you get that with many conservatives attacking him but he didn't our leader. rush limbaugh isn't our leader. sarah palin isn't our leader. i love them all. but we don't have a leader. a, we are a party without leaders and moreover, we have a liberal obsession with tell us who your leader is and this is how they argue. they find out who the leader is and destroy him. from newt gingrich to tom delay to sarah palin. >> what do you mean? who destroyed tom delay? we are not going with a leader this time so you have to argue with us on the facts. on the issues. >> i don't think that's -- >> no destroying the leader. >> who would be your leader? >> we don't have a leader. >> joe scarborough saying that the republican party better stop letting glenn beck get away with the hate speech making the republican party, conservatives look bad. what do you think about th

however i think peter finch did a better job of playing glenn beck, than glenn beck does. >> on behalf of the friends of howard behl, i don't go there again. i'm going to throw you a curveball because howard fineman has explained this markup of the insurance bill that would result in conceivably in criminal time if you don't buy the mandatory insurance. he said if baucus put it into the chairman's mark up and simply said that this would be handled as lawrence o'donnell suggested, it would be handled in terms of the finding of the irs and the irs does attach criminal penalties when you don't pay. so baucus is now saying that was a mistake, are we buying that. >> i think there's an effort here, sometimes to kill proposals by elevating those penalties as an issue and that is what's going on. there's no question in my mind that baucus and some of the other democrats, conservative and moderate, and democrats in that committee are on the behest of the insurance industry, and this is one of the things they're up to. >> ironically enough, a poison pill in the middle of an insurance reform effo

if you equate all of fox news with glenn beck, i mean it's not the case. as your other guests said, it looks like folks are trying to distance themselves from other people on fox news. also what i think maybe is smart on this strategy, you are seeing republicans also start to distance themselves. you had lindsey graham come out and say beck is a clown. >> that's the key to the story. right there. >> that's the part of this good for our debate separate if it's good for the obama administration. even you if don't like the administration, the quarantining of the toxic conservative fringe voices is g. i guarantee the republicans will do better if we hear more about olympia snowe and lindsey graham who is not with the president on health care which is a reasonable voice. than these folks who have no constituency only millionaire budgets to offend all of us. >> i love the way you use the word quarantine like they all have swine flu. >> worse than swine flu. >> i take issue with one thing. i don't think they are either a, republicans or b, conservatives. >> what

glenn beck will be raising fears tonight. first, on this day 50 years ago, the only man to have a talking cat on "sabrina the teenage witch." becoming a real sports caster. happy 50th, fella. the numbers never lie. let's play odd ball. >>> we begin here. if you thought politics could not sink lower, the cabinet members are holding the next meeting at the bottom of the ocean. late comers will be fed to sharks. ministers are preparing by taking scuba lessons. not to be outdone, the republican national committee will continue to hold its meetings inside an echo chamber. >>> colorado springs. a food container coaxed a critter into its grip. that skunk nosing around got its head stuck there in. one held the skunk down. the skunk then expressed his gratitude by spraying them. >>> tomorrow, we bomb the moon. speaking of moons, levi johnson takes it off for "playgirl." >>> michael steele, chairman of the republican committee talking about a.c.o.r.n. i will say that the current head of the organization, he said, she's done a phenomena

i have never had a laugh from glenn beck. in fact, i find him terrifying.e is like an old-school demagogue and that is frightening. if you look at the rest of the world and what this behavior has done in rwanda where the demagogues got on the radio and fermented all the hate it is terrifying. you could turn on a dime. it could happen here. >> we have free speech here. everything he says we can -- >> i don't think hate speech should be so free. i am not for censorship, but i also feel like be a human being. >> but you can't stop people from hate speech, because they have the right to say it. it's the first amendment. >> i think that people who are educated to be civil are civil. that's all there is to it. people who are not educated are just on the barbaric side, what can you do? that's the fault of the education system, i think, the way they are brought up. >> it's in a lot of trouble. the education system. speaking of that, what do you think of sarah palin? >> i think she is an interesting character on the american scene. >> do you identify with her? ameri

glenn beck also said today that the nobel prize should have gone instead to the tea petarty goer and everyone who protested on september 12. these people, i guess don't understand what a peace prize is to be awarded for, do they? >> no, they don't. as richard, i think quite ably pointed out, in the previous segment, it is understandable that many people around the world would think it is notable and laudable that an american president, the most powerful figure in the world has endorsed and embarked on a program of multilateralism, rather than retaining the kind of cowboy ethos that we have seen in the last eight years and that we have seen in the past. this is a huge change. i have the perfect candidate for glenn beck, joe the plumber, he should have won the nobel peace prize and i demand a recount. >> they have had all day, and they haven't come up with a single candidate for the peace prize better than barack obama. >>> irony abounds today, president obama gets the peace prize on the same day our space agency bombs the moon. the mission didn't have the promised visible fire works,

. >> reporter: john, glenn ivey said it is a step in the right direction, the new law signed in to legislation. what else needs to happen to make a difference? how do you stop this all together? >> first public education in every forum you can possibly get to. number one. the second step we have taken which we are proud is the establishment of the family justice that opened rockville. it is a collaboration of government and private partners that are have come tome in one- stop-shopping at an umbrella location where women of domestic violence and their children can come and we can provide them with counseling from 40 different agencies that ultimately were spread out all over the county and we are trying to remove barriers to women. >> and men. >> but unfortunately more often than not it is women. but we want to remove the bare overs to help them get out of the situations and those are in place at the family justice center. >> 22 years we have been observing domestic awareness month. are we seeing a diminishing numbers or is it the same or getting higher? what's the change? >> i wish i could sa

and william buckley versus glenn beck, and crystal versus colter.porate communist controlling our government? so far not so good. >>> and then we will look at the market, thanks to the trillion-dollar subsidy, we have a stock market. speaking of agendas, the president taking heat in late night for making no progress on his own to-do list. >> "saturday night live" making light of the tough spot obama is in right now. so much to do and nobody to help him do it. >> there are those on the right angry. they think i am taking this country into something that resembles the soviet union or germany, but when you look at my record, it's clear what i have done so far, and that is -- nothing. nadda. almost one year and nothing to show for it. >> the polls show the president remains fairly popular with the americans. and the news is not all good. the president's approval rate dropped ten points over the summer. he does have a 51% approval rate right now, dylan. >>> financial regulation, too big to fail untouched, and health care reform a joke. and mark mckinnen,

glenn beck alcoholic, danny bonaduce, alcoholic. george w. bush ex-alcohol. >> isn't he literally on the wagon? i jumped off. >> when you're an alcoholic or a drug addict and you quit, you really do have that addictive personality. where did you put your addiction, what are you addicted to now? talking on the radio? >> insent sent talking. >> and glenn beck's addiction may be getting more and more pub publicity. >> why do they align themselves with zealots like glenn bek and rush limbaugh. >> the republicans. >> they don't say anything. because they know they have a base. just like sarah palin, they knew she was dumb, but she has a tremendous base in the republican party. >> i think that is exactly the right analogy, they handled her so well because they didn't attack her as much as they could because they knew it was just going to add fuel to the fire. if they keep attacking him, he's just going to gain and they're going to lose. >> i thought it was interesting that rush limbaugh who was such a conservative of course took so much oxycontin t

the one glenn beck cited was a poll he saw. >> how about this one.y country that has automatic citizenship. that's not true. brazil has it, canada has it, guatemala has it. a lot of countries have it. >> okay, that's -- assuming you are right there and i did not know that. i've not looked at what other countries make you a citizen for simply being born here. but the point is that isn't a lie. >> okay. >> it's a mistake. look, if you're going to talk that much, he has a radio show. he's got a tv show. if you're going to talk that much, people are going to make errors and trip over themselves. to be kons traconstantly jumpin- they treat fox news like they're stalin and everything has to be analyzed. there's more respect for roman poe lance i can than fox news. everybody makes mistakes. just yesterday, little contessa brewer on msnbc was introducing jesse jackson and introduced him as al sharpton. that's a little bigger than making a mistake about how many people -- >> i'm going to defend contessa brewer. >> if you're going to defend glenn beck, you're

i have never had a laugh from glenn beck. i find him terrifying. i find him terrifying.e is like an old school demagogue and that is frightening. because, you know, if you look around at the rest of the world and what this kind of behavior has done, like in rwanda, where the demagogues got on the radio and fermented all that hate between the tutsis and hutus. and the devastation that happened from that. it's terrifying. and that could happen, you know, you could turn on a dime. that could happen here. >> we have free speech here. everything he says we can -- >> i don't think hate speech is so free. i don't think hate speech should be free. i'm not for censorship but i also feel like, be a human being. >> but you can't stop people from hate speech because they have a right to say it. it's the first amendment. >> i think that people who are educated to be civil are civil. that's all there is to it. people who are not educated are just on the barbaric side, what can you do? that's the fault of the education system. and the way they're brought up. >> it's in a lot of trouble

i don't need to be involved with glenn beck.e always get dragged into everything, and i'm sick of it. >> it shouldn't be taken that lightly, he says when they're done with fox news, and he compares it with the holocaust, the holocaust is just a word. 6 million people were gassed to death. how dare he say that. >> let's just try to see what the point is, at least. let's forget about the jewish part. >> he can say whatever he wants about whomever and there's no censureship. but the minute someone says something in retaliation, then he brings up the holocaust. >> then he's a victim. >> he is a victim. >> but he's rooting for the first amendment in a certain way. >> but i think he blurs that line because it's after a while you blur the line between the news and entertainment and there are a few things, in a big recession, there are only a few things that are recession proof in my opinion, drugs, prostitution and entertainment and i'm for all three. you know? >> i think what's interesting is what is the white house going to do about

even on the republican side, we have frankly i consider harmful for america, glenn beck, rush limbaugh. they don't control the republican party. they were all against john mccain in south carolina in the last primary season. and john mccain won the south carolina primary. these talk radio guys couldn't control republican voters in primaries in south carolina. they have actually no power over real americans. it's a media circus. most americans are where they've always been, sort of center right independence. >> what's happening is we've created -- there's kind of a freak showbizness now of each side. which amplifies the shrill voices. we have one-party cable networks now, one of each. everything is by noise, by hot language, and by anecdotes. you know, so facts and more complicated debate is pushed out because it's not loud and colorful enough. >> show that a one-party network? >> i would take your prime time and fox prime time and say it is kind of the same dance toward the dumbing of the base. >> you know, i think that the media does play a role in the wacky part of this. there's a go
