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.
On Tuesday, March 16th, Glenn will be hosting a special live event from the Nokia Theater in Times Square. This launch event will be streaming LIVE exclusively to Insider Extreme subscribers. During this show Glenn will be answering questions from fans. It’s the Glenn Beck interview you won’t see anywhere else. Have a question for Glenn?

Video from Glenn's interview with former New York congressman Eric Massa
Democratic Congressman Eric Massa from New York resigned on Monday. He says Democrats ran him out because he was against health care. Let me make this clear: My interview with Massa is not because he's on my side on health care; he wants single payer health care. We don't agree. In fact, we don't agree on pretty much anything.
Government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to promote efforts to count all Americans, but does the government want more than just a head count? Glenn, Pat and Stu go over some of the questions on the census form and decide which questions they would and would not answer. Glenn calls his wife Tania to see how and if she would answer. Check out the segment from hour 2 of the program today.
Economics in One Picture...
Congressman Eric Massa, a Democrat from New York, finds himself directly under the bus. He was kicked to the curb by democrats because he didn't support the healthcare bill or cap and trade. Democrats are using an ethics violation to toss him under the bus. Is this guy a dirtbag? Probably - it's not exactly uncommon in Washington DC. But do his transgressions make what he's saying about Washington untrue? Glenn reacts to the Massa controversy today and why this is the conversation America needs to have.
The RNC did a powerpoint presentation that just hacked Glenn off because the big strategy they came up with was to play on people's fears. Does that mean the RNC doesn't really think our country is sliding into socialism? Or going broke? Glenn talks with Marco Rubio from Florida, who is doing well in the polls precisely because he doesn't listen to the RNC, about the latest nonsense from Republicans.
Glenn did not watch much, if any, of the Oscars last night. It's always been quite difficult to stomach the self-congratulatory awards show, but it's getting even tougher because they are STILL hell bent on rewarding anti-war films that no one watches. Glenn, Pat and Stu go over the Oscars on today's radio program.
Nationally syndicated cartoonist Rob Smith Jr. chimes with his latest Glenn Beck exclusive.
There's a battle for the hearts and minds of your children. While you're busy trying to make a living and navigate through the daily madness piling up all around you, progressives are working on indoctrinating America's youth, your kids.
Do you think Glenn is talking non-sense when he calls Teddy Roosevelt a 'Progressive'? Just look at this campaign 'battle flag' from 1912.
Harry Reid is upping the idiocy ante today, as he giddily reports that it's a good day in America because 'only' 36,000 people lost their jobs in America last month. Well, sounds like it's time for a parade! The unemployment rate remained the same at 9.7%, but 36,000 more jobs were lost.
Obama's healthcare reform will cause trouble no matter if it's passed or not. Glenn warns that if it is passed - that puts the structure in place for progressives to control every aspect of your life. They'll regulate guns, carbon and anything else in the name of healthcare. But, if it doesn't pass - the radical leftists will be angry and, if the education protests of today are any indication, there could be violent outbursts.
What a shocker, government officials put their minds together and decided a new tax was the way to go. Glenn reacts
