On Today's Program
Media loving Obama Despite Obama's speech on race being anything but a complete denouncing of Reverend Wright, the media has fallen in love with the latest Obama speech. The New York Times called it 'Obama's Profile in Courage' - actually, they should have called it Obama's 'profile in reactionary politics' as he wouldn't be giving this speech if he didn't get caught having an anti-American pastor for 20 years. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here). Where's the heat? Only NPR could cover this story on Global Warming this way. Scientists sent some 3,000 robots into the ocean to measure ocean temps. The result? The oceans haven't warmed at all. In fact they have cooled slightly. But don't worry, NPR is there to explain away this mystery. Dollar reacts to rate cut Steven Moore joined Glenn to talk about what the Fed has been doing lately with all of these rate cuts. Moore says that the Fed has got it all wrong---inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods and there are too many dollars out there so it makes no sense for the Fed to lower the rate, which will only create an influx of dollars into the economy. As usual, the government adds to or creates more problems when it gets involved. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here). My Bad, Your Fault Since personal responsibility seems to be dead, with government bailing out people and companies every time something goes wrong, Glenn thought he'd make sure America had at least one more chance to read this piece on dealing with your responsibilities like a grown up. Read the article. More Guns, Less Crime In the midst of all the Obama preacher madness there is another fight we shouldn't be having in Washington DC going on. A very important court case that could have a huge impact on the right to own a gun is happening this week. Glenn talked to author John Lott about the case. Read the transcript.

On Today's Program
Obama's spiritual mess Senator Barack Obama's pastor has put him on the defensive by saying some pretty outrageous comments, and showing a 'profound misunderstanding' of America (according to Obama). Unfortunately, the comments are not isolated as more and more are surfacing every day. Obama refuses to distance himself from Pastor Wright, and only says that he disagrees with some of Wright's comments. Some of the Pastor's comments during his teachings include '...not God Bless America...God damn America' and 'the U.S. KKK of A' and of course 'Hillary ain't never been called a (n-word)'. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here). Watch his comments in these clips: ABC Report with several clips: Watch the video. Saying Hillary hasn't been called a... Watch the video. Glenn reacts to Obama's speech Senator Obama decided to address this issue head on, and deliver a speech about race in America. Huh? What does this have to do with race? If Pastor Wright were white and saying similar things, then Glenn would still have a problem with them. Glenn TIVO's the speech and goes through it piece by piece, dissecting it at every turn. (Insiders listen here). Amazing Glenn! Perhaps his fastest correct prediction ever, Glenn came out yesterday and predicted that since there were no conservatives standing up to these big corporate bailouts (by the government) that there will be no defense when libs start begging for individual bailouts (like mortgage bailouts) from the government. Harry Reid spoke yesterday and helped Glenn achieve his fastest ever correct prediction. Read about it here. (Insiders listen here).

My Thoughts on Journalism

I am not the only one of the opinion that, when it comes to news radio, that the conservative viewpoint is what is listened to the most. The top three radio hosts are Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck (in that order) and host their own shows Monday-Friday. All three are conservatives who tell their side of what they believe is awaiting our country if the liberals take control of our government.

What I find interesting is that people consider these three men to be worse than the terrorists themselves. Now, I will admit to not liking everything about them. I think Rush is overconfident and obnoxious. Glenn is convinced that at any moment the world will end. Sean is one of them that I don't listen to very often, but that's mostly because of his time slot. At any rate, these three are only doing their jobs and they must be doing something right because holding spots number one, two, and three isn't anything to sneeze at. However, this could all change if the government has anything to say about it.

The government is looking to pass what is basically considered a fairness act. Instead of programs being aired because of ratings, programs would be aired based on content and each side would have an equal amount of time throughout the day to voice their opinions. In my own opinion, this would be tragic. Radio stations would lose money because people won't listen to what they don't like. Then the government would have to help keep the stations afloat and spend more of the money they don't have. Keep your eyes open folks because it's coming.

Show Highlight: Show Highlight: Linking Obama and his chosen pastor of 20 years, hatemonger Jeremiah Wright, isn't guilt by association. The media lets Obama cherry-pick his way through Wright's statements, but Obama asks us to trust him with the presidency. When someone asks you for that kind of power, you better ask questions.
"Obama leads a double life. He's got the life before he decided to run for president -- a year and a half or two years ago -- and he has the decades of life prior to that, and that life we're not supposed to ask about."

On Today's ProgramHow the liberal media works You've seen it a million times before---Keith Olberman naming Glenn worst person in the world. What you haven't seen a million times before is the in-depth research Keith does to select his prey each night on TV. It's very difficult, actually, and it involves reading a liberal blog. But how does the baseless attack on Glenn get all the way to the New York Times? Glenn shows you how the liberal media works here. ALERT: Don't miss The Real Story tonight on TV as Glenn goes even deeper to expose how the liberal media works---7pm eastern only on Headline News. Harvard caves to Muslim demands Political correctness has run even more amok at Harvard, where the University has caved to the demands of six Muslim female students. They didn't want men in there watching them work out so Harvard shut men out of the gym while the women are there. Proponents claim it's just a small concession to make---but Glenn says that's BS and has a tip for the Muslim women: assimilate. Even crazier yet, Glenn suggested they take note of the marketing possibilities and open up their very own gym for Muslim women who want to work out without the men around. Isn't this policy sexist against the men? Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here). Clinton's turn to steal Hillary Clinton is seeking to have a re-vote in Florida. Hmm, a re-vote in Florida, where have we heard that before? Oh, that's when George W. Bush stole the election. That was eight long years ago, apparently people have forgotten that stealing elections was bad---because it's okay for Hillary to steal this one from Obama. Glenn explains how she's going about it: Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here). The candidates we are stuck with are tempting Glenn to start boozing again---so much so that in order to maintain sanity, he had to profile third party candidate Gene Admonson (Prohibition Party) in this month's edition of Fusion Magazine. Subscribe now. If Glenn did this... If Glenn pulled what Al Franken did, then surely Al would label him as a hate monger. Mr. 'I'm for the little guy' Franken seemed to have ignored the little guys in his company---as he forgot to pay their workmen's compensation. Then he fled the state to dodge the fines. Oops. Glenn explains what would have happened to him if Mercury Radio Arts forgot to pay workman's compensation for its employees. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).

Why I Post those Newsletters

Readers,

The reason I post the Rush and Glenn newsletters is to show that I do listen to the programs and am interested in what these people have to say. I've subscribed to the newsletters to get more information on show topics. These should also be seen as a way to track, not just what is on each show everyday, but where our country is going and how radio is involved. If we are not very careful in who we vote for, we will no longer get to hear the highest rated programs on the radio. There are complaints that there is only conservative talk on the radio. Well, that may be true, but I would argue that there is only liberal talk on TV.

On Today's ProgramGlenn's new approach Glenn is changing his approach in a couple of areas. The first is on the economy---he knows you get it, whether you agree with how bad Glenn thinks it's going to get or not, you get it. So he's not going to try and convince you of that anymore. He's just going to give you the road signs along the way. Glenn explains the rest in detail in this monologue: Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here). What would your wife do?

Here's how the new and more accurate speech by Eliot Spitzer would have started: "Ladies and gentlemen, just want you to know that I'm a dirtbag". Read the rest of it here. (Insiders listen here). Libs attacking Glenn In last night's Real Story on Headline News, Glenn gave a thorough breakdown of just how ridiculous the liberal hack media has become. Blog takes words, uses lots of '...and...but....I....hate...everyone...' type editing to create something offensive. They post on a blog, Keith Olbermann reads it, the New York Times prints it. One of the blogs the mainstream press never uses as head writer for the nightly news is NewsBusters. Joel Sheppard explains to Glenn some interesting facts he found in this whole Obama is the Antichrist 'controversy'. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).

Show Highlight: Morality matters in politics. A discussion of morals makes many people uncomfortable, because they don't want to be judged. Folks, we all fail, but that doesn't mean there isn't a right and wrong. Democrats like Spitzer don't adhere to a moral standard of absolutes. Their goal is power.
