About The Show
Glenn's show is about more than just what the democrats are saying about the republicans and vice versa. It's about the future of the country, what's happening in the news, and how it relates to your life.
His show is both very informative and entertaining at the same time. Glenn uses comedy on his show like no other. Whether it's making fun of Al Gore and global warming, or government bailouts; Glenn's humor makes a point, and makes you laugh at the same time.
ABOUT GLENN BECK
Glenn started in radio when he was only 13 years old by winning a local radio contest to be a DJ for an hour. Soon after that auspicious day, Glenn had three jobs – one at a Christian station, a Rock station, and a Country station – all of which his parents had to schlep him to in their home state of Washington. He was fired from all three jobs – on the same day when he was 14 years old!After high school graduation, Glenn pursued his career as a Top 40 DJ at stations all over the country. Eventually, he landed an opportunity in Corpus Christi, Texas, as the youngest morning guy in the U.S. at 18 years old. His career was soaring and took him to Top 40 morning shows in Baltimore, Houston, Phoenix, Washington, and New Haven, Conn. He rode the wave of professional success into the 1990s when things began to change. Today, Glenn points out, “When you have that kind of success that early in life, it’s easy for you to turn into a monster. And I did! I was not a good guy.”
At the age of 30, Glenn lost his passion for radio – and everything else – as alcoholism and drug addiction took him over. Struggling to find some answers to his problem, Glenn pursued higher education. Though he was accepted by Yale as a Theology major, he lasted only one semester, faced with a divorce from his first wife and separation from his two daughters – the oldest with Cerebral Palsy. He was emotionally and financially decimated and relegated to one of the smallest radio markets. The shooting radio star had fallen to earth.
Finally, he turned to a program of recovery. Coming to terms with his past and staying sober shifted his life direction. He found a new love (his second wife, Tania), religion (he was baptized Mormon in 2000), and a new vision of his career – he would pursue talk radio.
This a big, big weekend. The health care vote is happening on Sunday and the process (that President Obama doesn't care about) has been so abused that the average person in America has no idea what is even happening.
Glenn talks with Congressman Mike Pence, one of the Republicans who are unanimously opposing this bill. Glenn talks with the Congressman about the chances this thing could actually pass...
Throughout the course of American history there have been, periodically, events so dramatic, so huge that they were completely life altering; they changed the way people went about their day...
He ain't no Robin Hood...
Nationally syndicated cartoonist Rob Smith Jr. chimes with his latest Glenn Beck exclusive.
Glenn interviewed Congressman Steve King on the radio program today to talk about the status of the healthcare bill. Dealing is fast and furious on the Hill today, and anything can happen. King reports that not one republican will be voting for this bill. Will that be enough to stop it, or will the people have to show up in droves this weekend?
Last night President Obama returned to the 'scene of the crime' as he called it, to answer some of the allegedly erroneous claims made by 'Glenn Beck and others' at Fox. Bret did an awesome job of asking question after question, keeping the President squirming most of the time...
Wednesday, for the first time ever, people actually cared about something Dennis Kucinich said or did. Actually, I take that back: This is the second time. The first time was...
The president sits down with FNC's Bret Baier to discuss the health care reform bill
Congresswoman Louise Slaughter is in the news today because she's pushing the controversial 'Slaughter' measure to sneak healthcare through in the dark of night...

We're supposedly in the final push for this health care bill; they are going to try and jam it through this weekend...
Nancy Pelosi apparently doesn't have the votes, but it may not matter. Using a maneuver called 'self executing rule' the bill will just be 'deemed' passed by lawmakers. Democrats, are using the appropriately named 'Slaughter' rule -- it's the name of the Democrat who's proposing the idea (Congressman Louise Slaughter) and it just happens to be slaughtering the Constitution. The defense? Republicans have done it too! True - but never on anything near as important as the biggest social bill in the past 50 years.
Tom Hanks shocked many Americans when he said recently that, basically, World War II happened because America was racist and the Japanese were different looking. Hanks may have forgotten about a little event called Pearl Harbor. Yes, Tom - those were Japanese planes.
