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.

It's a lonely place to be - just ask Senator Jim Demint. He's one of the few principled conservatives in Washington D.C. and now he's getting heat - from republicans. Glenn encourages you to let the few who are working to save the republic know that you appreciate what they are doing. Keep them energized. Glenn talks to Senator Demint on radio this morning about keeping up the fight, and about a new Obama nominee who, shockingly, may have Marxist roots.
The NY Times can always be counted on for being an organ for the White House and now they claim that Glenn just hates poor people...
Have you thought about what to do if the gas pedal on your Toyota decides to go rogue? Ben Sherwood has - and he has the answer on what the best coarse of action to take is, in case you have interest in surviving the episode. Is it what you'd do?

People are waking up but not enough are aware of what we're up against. There just aren't enough in Government able or willing to fight it: For every Michele Bachmann there are 10 progressives.

Nationally syndicated cartoonist Rob Smith Jr. chimes with his latest Glenn Beck exclusive.
Patrick Kennedy went nuts on the floor this week, yelling at the media for not reporting on the war. In a Howard Dean-esque moment, he charged the press has been negligent reporting on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He wants an immediate end to the wars, but his point is correct... where IS this media? The same media that couldn't stop reporting on the war while Bush was in office?
Glenn mentioned the Woodie Guthrie classic American hit song on TV last night, and so many people were shocked to learn that this song is actually communist propaganda. Glenn goes over the words to the song, and once your brain stops mindlessly singing and actually processing the lyrics, it's quite shocking. For good measure, Glenn also reads the 'American' classic 'Born in the U.S.A' by Springsteen. What do the songs actually mean? Glenn explains on radio today...
Why do some people escape airplane crashes while others don’t? Why do some people bounce back from bankruptcy while others never recover? Why do some men and women overcome terrifying medical diagnoses while others give up hope and perish?
The reason I got so frustrated Tuesday night is because the house in on fire — it's an inferno. We need firefighters! Eric Massa told me he was going to help make a difference. Instead we got tickle fights and valuable advice like get out and vote — enough about him.
Red Eye's Robots Rip Bill Maher for Wishing Glenn Beck Dead
Glenn spoke with Michelle Malkin on radio today to talk about the interview and Massa's (lack of a) future.
Nancy Pelosi must be getting desperate - she trotted out the rarely used, and even more rarely successful, sales tactic of 'hey, vote for healthcare and THEN we'll tell you what's in it!'. Generally people like to know what's in the box before opening it - but that's not swaying Pelosi. Glenn reacts to Pelosi's crazy new approach.
