. >> glenn: welcome to glenn beck program. last night i talked to you about social justice and how it is now a political movement in church. i warn you there's a difference between social justice where you're just serving the lord and social justice where you're serving the overlord. i warned you to be careful and know who you are getting into bed with. watch this video we have from minnesota. these are students. health care for social justice and education for social justice being taught now and kids are being used by our schools. what are we doing? i want to show you something else, listen to the words of barack obama, and what he said just last week. listen to this very carefully, watch. >> the president: if you believe that it's right you got to help us finish this fight! you got to stand with me like you did three years ago and make some phone calls and knock on some doors, talk to your parents, talk to your friends, do not give up, we keep ongoing! >> glenn: talk to your parents. you need to talk to your parents. you see

again glen welcome to the glenn beck program. tonight will everybody else focuses on health care i want to tell what is coming. i want to focus on two words. these two are words are being used in every bill and idea that a progressives are trying to jam down the throats of america. if we don't know how these things work we are going to lose this battle. they sound warm and fuzzy but they are not. much of america has no idea what they are stepping into with these two words. what are they? >> glenn: hello america! everything we see being pushed down the throats of the american people right now, care, now immigration reform, bailouts, cap and trade may really have one thing in common, the pr campaign. if not all, most of them contain these two words, "social justice." you might have heard a few politicians talk about it lately. >> the president: i think there's a strong tradition of social justice in the catholic church that had a profound influence on me i received one of those letters a few days ago. it was from our beloved!>!í f

you just announced glenn beck is next and my daughter says i love glenn beck much smarter than o'reilly. how old is the tyke, three? after watching the beck and call segment my 6-year-old said glenn beck is funny but bill o'reilly is the real deal. brilliant boy! bill aren't there times when you want to adopt glenn beck, just pinch him on the cheek? no. those times never exist. and if it ever happens it will signify the end of the world as we know it. joyce: mr. o'reilly your segments with glenn beck make me laugh, but also make me think. jason: i'm 12 and sometimes not very responsible. recently my dad punished me and my assignment was to read bold fresh and write him notes on it. i learned i should focus on being productive in my life. thanks for the lessons. thank you for being smart enough to absorb them jacob, sound like a good kid. talking points memo, if you came in light we had a wild opening segment with al sharpton. that is different than bill o'reilly.com. please e-mail with us pithy comments from anywhere in the world even the u-conn territory of canada, beautiful place, --

meantime, glenn beck just around the bend. i will see you on this network captioned by closed captioning services, inc. spial ecome t glenn welcome tdio a special edition of the glenn beck program. the story of america is really one of self-reliance and optimism and profound faith.ou not only in the context of of religion freedom but also in the unprecedented faith in the ability of human beings to control their own destiny. while the spirit of personal or responsibility was extraordinarily strong with our founders great patriots liked thomas payne argued for theof w dedistribution of wealth off the bat. and alex lander hamilton wanted alb central bank. they ended up losing thoset battles but they kept on fight. eventually those seeking a different path than ones the founders settled on realized re the only way to really defeat the constitution was for the people to stop reading it. progressives realized victoryy. required changing history. to defeat them he would have to correct that. progressives know how poepo history is.ul

now back to glenn beck. >> glenn: i want to ask you a question. when you boil it all down, you know what our real problem is? may i? bring it on! cup stack. not the only problem, sure. after this weekend we might want to start with some of these stupid cup stackers. cup stacking is not a sport. it is not even an activity. it is something when you were really bored as a kid you would do it for a few minutes and then move on with your life. it's not a sport. i think it is even -- it might be something you should get an allowance for doing. yes, if you stack cups efficiently enough you too can win a fancy trophy. yes. a trophy of a cup. back when i was a kid, kids had real games like kick ball or dodge ball. other sports that routinely featured someone like me getting a big red rubber ball right to the face that's what growing up is all about. for anybody who went to school with me, you can testify how much i sucked at all of those games. but i learned from my failures in sports with failure comes consequences. you see, i the red rubber ball in the f

now, back to "glenn beck." [ applause ] >> glenn: you know, i want to talk to you about something, we have to decide who we are. the world is going to change. it has nothing to do with obama. it's been coming for a long time. the seeds that we are seeing ready to be harvested have been planted a long, long time ago. entire economies globally are teetering. we're now seeing violence break out in places like greece. i read in the paper this morning that there are fringe elements trying to rally people for armed resistance in alaska. really? about 150 people showed up last week in a meeting of the second amendment constitutional task force. i appreciate your passion, i do. violence is not the answer. we are not these people. we need to be these people, but we are not these people. thomas jefferson was leading fools in the french revolution. it ends in tyranny and guillotines. we must be people of faith, hope and charity. please. violence is not the answer. governor sarah palin was on the top of my mind today when i heard about the group in alaska. she's a fox news contributor and author

glenn beck had him on his show last night. outcrazying glenn beck is like outsexing tiger woods, so -- somehow -- [ applause ] somehow this guy, massa, managed to do it. and here's his version of the alleged groping. >> now they're saying i groped a male staffer. yeah, i did. not only did i grope him, i tick med him until he couldn't breathe and four guys jumped on top of me. it was kill the old guy. >> jimmy: right. we've all done that. all had tickle fights with our male coworkers. we all played "kill the old guy." dick cheney used to play it with a gun, "kill the old guy." if you're wondering why we don't have health care, it's because there's too much tickling in congress. later that night on larry king, massa denied that he ever groped anyone and refused to answer this very direct question from larry. >> are you gay? >> well, here's that answer. i'm not going to answer that. in the year 2010, why don't you ask my wife? ask my friends. ask the 10,000 sailors i served with in the navy. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: sure. maybe you

did you hear about the big match, yelling match, peeing match between james cameron and glenn beck? >> yeah. >> yeah. very salty language. we're getting used to this salty language in recent days. >> especially from james cameron. >> he went off on glenn beck called him an f-ing bleep-bleep, i've met him, he called me the anti-christ and not about "avatar," he hasn't seen it, i don't know if he's seen it. basically he was responding to -- a few years back james cameron made this documentary called "the lost tomb of jesus" and it cast doubt on the resurrection of christ and all this other stuff. back when beck was on cnn he talked about that documentary and basically said, i think james cameron has officially tossed his hat into the ring and is officially in the running for anti-christ. this was three years ago, james cameron is still mad about it, so he made these comments basically calling beck dangerous. i'd love to square off with him about some of these issues that we have with each other. glenn beck took the opportunity to talk about it on his show and said, this guy's been car

beck and rush nology has a healing touch. there's a factory giving old industries new life. and there's a train that got a whole city moving again. somewhere in america, the toughest questions are answered every day. because somewhere in america, more than sixty thousand people spend every day answering them. siemens. answers. >>> ahead on "countdown," with the house about to vote final passage of health care reform, david frum wrote the speeches president george w. bush used to prepare a nation for a war in iraq, but now david frum has gone and told the truth about his party and health care. republicans could have scored victories on this very middle of the road reform, but they blew it because rush limbaugh and fox news are calling the shots. so guess what happened to david frum today? ely at the mercedes-benz glk, when you study its engineering, its safety systems, and when you consider who will be riding with you, perhaps the question is not so much whether you can afford to drive a vehicle that is built this way but whet

he was channelling glenn beck of fox news. here's a little bit of that. >> it's not that believing, i'm not saying this, i'm not saying that believing there should be a minimum standard for how much lead can be in our paint might lead to the government having the right to sterilize and kill jews. i'm not saying that that might be the case. >> well, you know, you want to be on the daily show but not necessarily just like that. that is it for this edition of "reliable sources." join us next sunday morning 11:00 a.m. eastern for another critical look at the media. if you miss any part of our program check out our pod cast at cnn.com/pod cast and check out our show page on facebook as well.

it is being used in some many schools that it got the attention of glenn beck and fox news. "the new york times" reporter who was right thing about what teachers are using for educational stuff on environmental and a lot of them said we're not having a lot of options so we use "the story of stuff" and they said you were you? it was on the front page of "the new york times" so within days it was on fox news just attacking us for saying we're terrorizing children and turning them into socialist and undermining the very idea is of asking them to be $0.7 instead of shoppers but the highlight is when glad that have the sustainment board were he slapped magnets and he said do you know, what "the story of stuff" is about? social justice. [laughter] that is right. a lot of schools. >> you have nailed my evacuees feel i have to think about this because my self-absorbed wall is the corporate people and i have to find out your secret and how to convey that's because to me that is that community of where we work we spend all of our time there and how we work and who we empower with the

this brings me to the reaction of glenn beck. mr. beck, while saying what i believed were sincere good wishes to both me and my father, then immediately turned around and said i didn't understand about the death panels, that what sarah palin was talking about was not these end of life discussions, not what we have called life panels, but, in fact, something else. he is, of course, entirely wrong. he has no earthly clue what he's talking about. he presented no evidence. the only evidence he has ever presented as to the supposed existence of these so-called death panels is to quote sarah palin. and sarah palin's spokesman admitted that what she was talking about was a proposal made by congressman blumenauer of oregon to establish the right for you to get the insurance company involved in paying for the physician who helps you with your life panel discussion. if there was any doubt about this, i turn to a letter i received after the comment was raised last wednesday from congressman blumenauer who said he only wished he had the presence

even though they have, you know, superstar glenn beck on the air. defy this, glenn. you have zero ratings in washington, d.c. zilch. nil. nada. zero. now, the second tier radio talk station, wtnt ranked 30th in the market with a 0.4 share. now, this kind of imbalance goes unchallenged. we're supposed to believe this is the free market. i think it's ownership. i think it's time for congress to get involved. it's time for the fairness doctrine to be reviewed by the congress and implemented. the airwaves are public. it's not in the public's interest to have 92% of, you know, right wingers out there filling the airwaves. that is just so anti-anything the liberals want to do. tell me where the fairness is. don't tell me it's the free market. i gave you an example of the beckster and what he's doing in washington, d.c. they decided to put that garbage on the air anyway. it's not about business. it's about ideology and about getting obama big time. get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. tonight's text survey is, do you think congress should take action to

that could possibly say no to glenn beck. chris: if there were no tea party crowd, would that be better for the republican party or is the tea party a plus for them in november? >> they need the energy. they don't want to brand-new "tea party." chris: it's a plus? >> a net negative. if the tea partiers continue to project the image they're protecting, it's a net negative. >> i think it looks positive now but i'm going to agree with howard. in the end it's going to backfire on republicans. it could energize democrats. >> after 1997, they got tagged as a nasty party. and they are still trying to get from under that 13 years later. chris when we come back scoops and predictions. chris when we come back scoops and predictions. tell me something i >> if your home runs out of room before you run out of family, you might need a sunroom. if the only place in your home you can find peace and quiet and relax is the bathroom, you might need a sunroom. and if bringing the outdoors indoors at your house means a goldfish bowl and an ant fa

on fox news, host glenn beck accused democrats of milking the attention. >> it's almost like the left is trumping all of this up just for the politics of it all. >> mr. speaker -- >> reporter: a top house republican, eric cantor, said their party has gotten threats too and accused two democrats of fanning the flames. >> security threats against members of congress is not a partisan issue, and they should never be treated that way. >> reporter: republican congresswoman jean schmidt released this voice mail. >> why don't y'all just change y'all party name to racist. >> i wonder why the media hasn't been on hot stand-by and bothered to look into the recent rash of actual violence that has happened in our country lately. >> reporter: back to glenn beck who talk of hypocrisy and showed clips from a riot at a pittsburgh summit where liberal extremists protested. >> look at this. far left. i didn't hear any coverage on this. >> reporter: there was some unity among leaders of both parties on capitol hill who tried to calm things down. >> i believe that words have power, they weigh a ton. >> b

no one is going on glenn beck's show. there are certain shows where there are people who haven't totally made up their mind that watch fox news. there's an effort to try and communicate with them. let me go to your point with respect to the words of incitement. what we saw in the last couple days here was a very ugly face in terms of the expressions of violence, of the words that were thrown around. what was even worse than the fact it was happening outside the capitol was that certain members of congress who should have known better and should be leading by example exhibited similar behaviors inside the chamber. when we had a member -- >> they apologized for that, chris. the republicans apologized for it. they didn't mean to say that. >> right. right. that's why within a couple hours, as you may have heard, that same member who said "baby killer" started a facebook page to raise money. to raise cash off his statement. and this is what we're dealing with. we're dealing with people who are pretending it apologize and turni

i don't agree with glenn beck on that. i think in a wealthy society, everybody should have a right to a free public education. it's good for all of us. i mean, it clearly -- this is not some whimsical give-away that we hand to children because we're nice guys. it's good for our society to have an educated population. we need it. it's essential. i don't see this as a give-away. in any case i feel exactly the same way about healthcare. i think a rich society ought to keep people healthy. you're more productive. you save money. you just get a lot of social benefits out of covering everybody, and economic benefits. but, yes, it's true in most european countries, higher education right through medical school is free. in europe -- i mean, in britain, i'm sorry, in britain you have to pay but the maximum they charge you is 3,000 pounds a year or $4500 a year. so they have just made that decision that there's value for society in providing this education for free. and as you say, they then have doctors who graduate with no debt an

we're talking glenn beck. these are major figures. >> air america, we can talk about what people said on air america. i could talk about what people have said on other networks, some very, very harsh things about -- again, i'm not saying -- >> but in terms of the larger issue today, i do think that the civilizing advances of our time, and i'm talking about civil rights movement, women's right movement, civil rights movement, equality, social justice, ending child labor, the republican party in almost every case has opposed those reforms. >> i thought it was southern democrats that opposed civil right in the 1960s. i thought -- >> i'm talking about late in the game. who was opposed to the civil rights act? who was opposed to the civil rights act? i'm talking about the major legislation. >> southern democrats were. southern democrats were. >> but it was the democrats who passed it. >> no, democrats who mainly opposed it, too. >> let us -- come to this moment. >> i'm not being feisty. can we just let americans kn

she had once lived up on the glenn beck radio show a few weeks ago where she suggested, or at least was willing to entertain the idea that maybe the federal government had some role in 9/11. i think that scared away republicans who might have been inclined to consider voting for her. host of what happens in the governor's race? dogs that it gets very interesting. rick perry -- guest: @ it's interesting. rick. runs against bill white, former member of clinton administration in the energy department, former businessman, who is not a flashy politician but as the reputation of being very smart and careful and will probably give with. a good race. -- will probably give rick perry a good race. host: what's next for kay bailey hutchison? guest: she did not give a clear answer about when or whether she would resign her senate seat. her term runs until 2012. so, presumably, if she wants to, she would just go back to washington and continue serving as the state's senior senator. host: thank you for being with us this morning. let us get back to our question for you. the president proposed incorpo

last night on fox, glenn beck said that education for our children is not their right but a privilege. now, thomas fathers, and a signer of the constitution, started america pubc school good education was the right of every chi free. but i have to say very close was there was a doctor who really, a, understood what i was trying to do in this book, and, b, liked it. that's closer.sor but, no, i think it deserves to be on the shelf next to "war and peace" is probably the best line i ever got. >> host: and we forgot to find out why you dedicated "the healing of america" to dwight eisenhower? >> guest: yeah. well, in "the healing of america", i make the argument -- let's be blunt about it that other rich countries do a better job of providing healthcare to their citizens than the united states does. and i have learned -- and if you remember earlier we said -- i wrote that book "confucius lives next door" it's about how asian countries have lower crime rates than we do. "in the united states of europe" how they came together and built this kind of market superpower. in all these books i'm

beck, bill o'reilly. but even among those three that are very diverse opinions on basic policy matters, and on how hard or how soft to treat barack obama. and then of course there is a new side which i think is unfailingly fair and balanced. so again to level an ad hominem attack, fox, that discredits a 400 page book? is ridiculous. >> host: the guest is michelle maltin. >> caller: it is not who wrote your paycheck. and i wanted to know if this book, what is your answer to all these question have, what is the answer to the corruption in washington? you have a book at what you have any ideas? >> guest: i think that sunlight is the best disinfectant, and i think that disclosure will help reduce close your. and i also think, very sadly, that knowledge is power. i think that the american people have not been fully informed about just how much an illusion hope and change, the air of hope and change has been. so i think the book is part of the solution. >> host: another call from the book, this with regard to s
