The obscure world of free falling

Last week a suicidal man survived a 39 story fall after he leapt from a high-rise complex. What happened next seemed to defy all the odds – he survived. He landed on top of a car, crushed it, and lived to tell about it. But is this story that uncommon? The answer may surprise you. The man who knows everything about surviving, Ben Sherwood (author of The Survivors Club) has talked to all the experts on free falling survival tales and wrote a great piece on the topic. Read it HERE.

Obamacare = intentional fail?

Glenn has been talking about the Cloward & Piven theory forever (if you are new to Glenn Beck, check out his explanation from a previous TV show). In the beginning many were skeptical that progressives were actually still using this radical theory — but it’s hard to look at this administration’s actions in any other way. Senator Coburn apparently agrees as he has now come out and said Obamacare was intentionally set up to fail. STORY

Glenn has long warned Congress that they are rapidly heading towards irrelevance and it’s becoming increasingly clear with actions taken by the Obama administration – including the latest from the EPA. Obama’s chances of pushing a climate change bill through are slim to none. So he’s doing what progressives do best – going around the system. The EPA is vowing to issue new climate rules WITHOUT bothering to go through Congress. STORY

Obamanomics strike again: unemployment 9.6%

Unemployment is heading in the wrong direction, creeping up to 9.6%, further demonstrating that Obama’s tax and spend and spend and spend plan has not worked. The President’s approval rating is tanking as a result – all in all, just another crappy month of Obamanomics. STORY

Libs counter Restoring Honor with Rangel

SEIU, the AFL-CIO and other special interest groups are trying to plan a counter rally to the Restoring Honor event that happened on 8/28, and what better way to counter honor than with the ethics-violation-plagued Charlie Rangel? Check out the audio today of Rangel trying to stir people to action. ( Transcript, Insider Audio, FREE Insider Extreme clip)

The Road To 8-28: Glenn was in Washington a week early to prepare for the 8/28 rally. And of course, in typical Glenn fashion, he didn’t relax.

Now available on Insider Extreme: “The Road to 8/28: A Video Diary by Glenn Beck.” Check it out to see exclusive behind the scenes footage and get Glenn’s take on the days leading up to the big event.  Be sure to check out all the programming from this week and what is coming up HERE.

TV TONIGHT: The message the media completely missed on 8/28 – heard again from the all new Black Robe Regiment, tonight at 5pm only on the Fox News Channel!

Pujols, LaRussa standing tall

It’s interesting to see those caught up in the left vs. right game completely miss when it’s about right and wrong. People are actually lining up to bash Albert Pujols for accepting an award earned for putting God, family and charity at the center of his life. Controversial, right? Glenn talks about those who are now getting heat for appearing on stage last weekend and the courage they have shown. ( Transcript, Insider

Audio). If you want to show your support for

Pujols and

LaRussa as they get flack – you can support the charities they are actively involved in.

Key Obama ally works with Socialists for global tax

Who is the ally working with socialists? So many socialists aligned with Obama to choose from and so little time – but Richard Trumka is the latest in a seemingly endless line of socialist radicals working for and with this President. Trumka is the President of the AFL-CIO and he’s also an advocate for a global tax. Lovely. Glenn has more on radio today ( Transcript, Insider

Once again, the left has caught Glenn in a lie! This is the sort of desperation now spewing out from the left — during the 8/28 event, Glenn mentioned that he had held some original documents from our Founding Fathers while visiting the National Archive. The left threw a fit saying that Glenn was lying because holding the documents is not allowed. Another distraction from the message, nevertheless Glenn responds on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio, FREE Insider Extreme clip)

This guy gets it

Out of all the media attempts to peg what the 8/28 event was all about, virtually none got it right. An unknown blogger wrote a short post that put the entire MSM to shame. The message of 8/28 was not exactly rocket science – so how the MSM missed it, is anyone’s guess. Glenn reads the blog that hit the nail on the head on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Gunman at Discovery Channel building…

The nut job that reportedly took hostages today at the Discovery Channel building in Maryland was apparently an environmentalist who wanted the network to change their programming away from what he called a ‘pro birth’ agenda. Here is the latest info on the alleged gunman. STORY

Obama refuses to credit Bush
 
As the President hands security over to the Iraqi people, he just cannot bring himself to say anything nice about President Bush. Something like ‘the surge that I opposed actually worked’ would be nice, but it’s not happening. Glenn plays the audio of Obama then and Obama now on the surge.

Ed Schultz apparently has some serious audience envy because he’s now puffing his chest and saying he could also draw half a million people to the mall in DC. Perhaps Ed should try getting that many people to turn on the TV in their homes, on their couch before he attempts to make them get up off the couch and hear him speak about how people can’t make it without government help.

Another Obama radical

This time the radical is in the Department of Labor and her name is Dolores Huerta. She is a legend in the labor movement, has praised Hugo Chavez and Cuba, and has even said Republicans "hate Latinos" to an audience of school children. She has also denounced capitalism and says the suitable alternative is, of course, socialism! Your taxpayer dollars are paying her salary. Glenn has more on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

YOU were the star

Glenn reads part of the amazing (and true) Wall Street Journal article that proclaims the man with the microphone may have been the craziest person out of the 500,000 in attendance. Quite an impressive feat to have that many people in one place and have zero incidents. Glenn has the story on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio, FREE Insider Extreme clip)

Education Secretary: go to Sharpton rally

Obama’s Education Secretary Arne Duncan urged 4,000 employees to attend the rally of Reverend Al Sharpton. That’s pretty much unheard of in political circles, usually civil servants are supposed to avoid political rallies at all costs. But not this administration! Oh, we can only imagine what would be happening right now if George W. Bush urged people to attend the Glenn Beck rally! Check out the story HERE.

Sharpton’s dream: more caskets?

The Reverend Al Sharpton has been spending a lot of time in recent days saying that Glenn is distorting Martin Luther King’s dream. That’s interesting, because 10 years ago on the anniversary of the ‘I have a dream’ speech, Sharpton made an appearance. At the Lincoln Memorial. With the Black Panthers. What was his dream? Hint: it involves caskets and cops. Glenn has more on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Glenn’s speech

Missed Glenn’s speech or want to watch it again? We’ve got your back. You can watch it HERE. Plus, Glenn is extremely grateful to each and every person who took the time out of their busy lives to venture to Washington D.C. for the event. Here’s a special thank you message from Glenn to you. WATCH

What does it all mean?

The media seems to be having a hard time understanding that the Restoring Honor event was actually about Restoring Honor and not a GOP election booster. Since the media completely missed the mark on the meaning of the event, Glenn recaps what it is each and every individual should be doing in their own lives to help start turning the country around. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Expect miracles: An amazing moment happened just as the event kicked off and the music started rolling – a flock of geese flew in perfect V formation over the Reflecting Pool straight towards the Lincoln Memorial. God’s version of a military fly over? Someone caught it on video – decide for yourself. WATCH

Hilarious crowd reports

From ‘tens of thousands’ to CBS and their ‘87,000′ number, the media bent over backwards to describe Saturday’s sea of humanity on the mall in an unflattering manner. The media didn’t hesitate to offer up generous numbers for Barack Obama’s large crowds, but they’ve trotted out ‘crowd experts’ to try and nail this one down. Glenn talks about not just the size of the crowd — but more importantly the quality of the people who made up that crowd. ( Transcript, Insider Audio, FREE Insider Extreme clip)

8/28 in pictures: Take a look at these incredible photos from Saturday!

Since they cannot win the debate, progressives are desperate to get Glenn off the air in any way they can. They are getting so desperate, in fact, that a former Air America editor (and blogger in the President’s news source of choice: The Huffington Post) has resorted to offering $100,000 for a Glenn Beck sex tape or ‘anything’ that will get him off the air. Glenn responds to this insidious attack on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio, FREE Insider Extreme clip)

NY Times reports

Glenn reads the review from The New York Times and surprisingly it’s not half bad. While much of the media missed the mark completely, The Times hit at least a few nails on the head in regards to Saturday’s Restoring Honor event. How does America’s ‘paper of record’ view Saturday in DC? Find out on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

It must be more science than Christian, because they have an article this week attacking Glenn because he ’stuck’ Obama with the liberation theology label. Ummm, no, that was Obama’s church website that ’stuck’ the label to him, because that’s what they believe in. Barack Obama himself has said collective salvation is what he believes, and that’s not Christian. Standing by for the first issue of the ‘Science’ monitor… Glenn has more on radio today.
