I LOVE Glen Beck- Thank God Fox put him on the air.
Glen- thanks for taking chances – thanks for using your voice – thanks for
having convictions – thanks for being a solid citizen.
Preach on Brother!
It tends to be a lonley world for a staunch conservative who is proud to be educated, Catholic and a hard worker who pays her bills, only buys what she can afford and believes in being self sufficient.
It was a super lonley place to be – before YOU found a voice and began broadcasting.
Continued success and a LONG broadcasting career to you!

The Show was super!
Thanks for being innovative.
Was great to hear the thoughtful and provacative comments from both you and the live audience.
You got GUTS Glen!
Continued success!

It’s kinda scary how “real” this guy, Glenn Beck seems to be.
He’s definitely an acquired taste,
and if you’re not careful,
he’ll grow on you.
(Is he actually rehearsing in socked feet?!)
I am a libertarian. I support the tea parties. I believe in the constitution. I believe in america, but the one thing I believe in more than any of these is life. Without protection of life in this country, in this world there will be no liberty. rene
How does one go about getting invited to be part of the audience? The show was much too short bith on TV and on the Internet. I very much enjoyed the show and after show, THANKS!!
Your show today was great!
Hopefully the media and congress will start paying attention to the workhorses of America.
I am an independent and lean conservative. I will definitely be at the next “Tea Party”.
Thank-you Glenn Beck.
This type of format i believe is what’s needed today, i would of liked to continue the discussion on the NYC “what if” vs. the constatution and i really enjoyed the chalkboard explaining the position of GOP and DEM. Keep it up guy’s!
Glenn is toooo cute!
Need to get out of Dodge? Come to our get a way in Alabame where no one will find you. 40 miles south fo Bham. GREAT Place.
Love yo
Joyce
Come to Alabama. We will shelter you and give you some rest all the while you can relax and fish in our pond, sit on the porch and drink TEA.
Love You
Joyce
Glenn has a sitting president ever made fun of a group of people publicly? Tax paying Americans? Voters? When will he visit the Oz to get a brain?
I LOVED the Glenn Beck show today. The only thing was it was too short. I think there was more wisdom in that one room than on all of the networks and Washington combined. It is such a releif to know that there really are people paying attention to what is going on in Washington. Why can’t we have more shows where “real” “everyday” people speak out instead of getting interviews from the media’s own people and reporters. Also, why is it that we don’t march on Washington or boycott the other networks. Fox is #1 for a reason. We can boycott the other networks, (all programs), and send a message to Washington and the mainstream media that we are sick and tired of their prejudice. Also, one more thing, “isn’t Obama my president to”. Then, why is he making fun of me because I don’t agree with him. Isn’t that childish and immature? What happened to the plane that flew around the building. Who knew about it? What happened to the investigation? Nothing? Where is the media on this?
Thank you Glenn Beck…
Great show Glenn! I watch your show everyday and you never disappoint…even if you do cut off people’s comments at times!!!But you have a genuine passion for the people you believe in and want to help, and for the work that you do. I was so glad to see you come to FOX!
I do have a question for you if this comes thru????
AT OBAMA’S TOWNHALL MEETING, ON WEDNESDAY, WHERE HE FLEW TO THE DAY OF HIS BIG SPEECH, AND THEN BACK TO DC…I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OF THE PEOPLE AT THE TOWNHALL MEETING… “WERE THERE ANY PEOPLE THERE THAT WENT TO TEA PARTY’S???” Those people didn’t look too “amused” when he was talking about the “Tea Party’s???” and “a certain channel”… Just wondering….. and yes, I get your newsletter!!!!!!!!! It’s great!
Keep up the Great Work!!!!!!!!!
SOME GENTLEMAN MENTIONED A VERY GOOD BOOK TO READ, 5000 SOMETHING OR OTHER… CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT BOOK HE WAS REFERINGK?…. THANK YOU
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE NAME OF THE BOOK SOME AUDIENCE MEMBER WAS RECOMMENDING TO READ RELATING TO OUR THREATENED LOSS OF LIBERTY…” 5000 SOMETHING OR OTHER……” ANYONE KNOWK?????
Good show. Keep it up.
Glenn Beck for President??? I like the way it sounds!!! Thank God for Beck, but one man alone can not win this fight against the Democratic Socialist Party. We ALL need to get out there and spread the word that the we ( The citizens of These United States) will no longer let them take our Country away from us! We WILL fight back!! Let everyone know…it is not ONLY patriotic, but our duty as an American citizen to protect the U.S. Constitution and our way of life. Our Country was founded on that principle (thus the Second Amendment). Wake up people, our Government is no longer working for us…..Joe the Plummer was a good spark, but now it’s time to fan the flame. I’m Greg the Electrician…and I plan on being the fuel!! What about you??
Glen, I really enjoyed your program with a live audience and their views for government and this country. Please have more of them! This seems to be the only way we will be heard. I e-mailed my congresswoman several times, but I don’t think she even read it. I received a generic e-mail back. We need our voices heard! The mainstream media, Obama and Congress has not been listening! What else can we do to get our voices heard!
I enjoy your content and the reality it represents in a time when neoposition rules, however, have you been drinking? You are excited , I know, but don’t overplay, please.
Comment about the Tea Party people. They must not believe in President Lincoln and his decision that we are one country of different geographical areas and resources but all Americans. We are not individual states. What we can’t afford is the cost of State Government, the cost is saved in regional government as the time goes on in a democracy which is new compared to governments before our country. Jefferson said that a democracy is living, it changes over time and it must. The needs of the people change, unless you are an Amish or Menenite, who choose to not participate in our government, our needs have changed. Tea Party is not correct and term limits on all elected officials are needed.
Jefferson meant that you must participate and have an opinion and be involved as a citizen. Bush didn’t fear public opinion and he did what he wanted, not swayed by the American citizens who didn’t agree with him. The Tea Party people must agree then that no president should have the power to make any decision and only the people. Everything must be by referendum and the majority even if by 1 person is who rules this country.
I”am a truckdriver and i donot get to see your show but i listsen on my xm to both of your shows. Keep up the hard work. And thanks for keeping us informed.
I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CHECK ON OBAMA’S BIRTH CERTIFCATE OR MAYBE THEY HAVE AND THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CONSTATION ISSUE ON MY MIND. I HEARD A LITTLE ABOUT IT DURING CAMPAIGN THEN IT DIED AND HEARD NO MORE. PLEASE IF HE HAS NO BIRTH RECORD WHY ARE WE RULED BY HIM???
How refreshing, real people, discussing real issues, and telling real truths! This should be an ongoing part of your show. I listened to it on the radio and watched it later on DVR….I couldn’t get enough! Thank you for giving the average American a forum to be heard. Unlike politicians, celebrities, media, etc., we don’t have access to the same wide reaching stage to express our views, and when we do find a vehicle to express ourselves (Tea Parties), we are portrayed as stupid, extremists, and misguided, to put it mildly. Well, forgive us for not being elitist, but news flash, there are more us, then there are of them!
This was a great idea for a show but way too short. I’d like to see Fox set aside a three-hour time frame for another program like this, allowing more “typical Americans” to share their grievances and ideas for our country.
Explanation of Progressives/Anarchy and Replican/Democrat on line graph was terrific!
Your show is the most inspiring show to come along in years. Finally someone who can connect with all of the normal people wondering what has happened to this country. Keep up the good work and know America is a country of good people who appreciate your voice for us. The group who are “enchanted” with this pied piper are hopefully going to wake up before they are instructed to drink the coolade. This is a scary situation the country is in. Thanks for your enlightenment and my goal is to someday be able to see your show is person.

Got into the show late, darn it, but want to know, what is 912? The show is awesome! You stand up for our constitution and our Bill of Rights. Our Founding Fathers fought and died for our rights, our servicemen and women today are doing the same thing! We all need to protect these rights, or we are in danger of losing them. Keep up the great work.
Your live show with the “Tea Party” group on 5/2/09 was the best show I’ve seen in months. It was from the “people” and how everyday people are feeling. Very smoothly handled. Keep up the good work I want more.
Please tell me where I can find an auto maker in the US that is not owned or dominated by a union.
Love your show……I have given up my favorite Food Network Shows just to watch you!
Thanks.

Our Goverment give millions of dollars to banks. Some of this was use for parties and COE’s. We need jobs before we need loans. You have to have a job to get a loan.

Personally, I think the tea parties are about much more than a protest against out-of-control spending, and increased taxes on the middle class ( under the guise of energy tariffs, etc.).
It’s about taking back our country in 2010 and 2012. I simply do not want to be subjugated by the liberal elite in this country.
Glenn, Great show and after show, 1 problem. Too short. Need a week of these for starters and then maybe once a week thereafter. Call me crazy but I think we need more of these discussions if the msm or Washington is ever gonna notice. Plus it brings us all together and gives us all a voice. Keep up the good work. It’s needed and appreciated.
oh, one more thing. I agree with the analysis of the 2 party system. My problem with a 3rd party is that it splits the votes of conservatives and elects the liberal democrat instead. Let’s get started on the Constitutional Convention idea! Great Idea!
Glen, I love your show and watch it everyday. I also listen to you on talk radio. My 9 yr old son has no choice but to listen in the car and probably knows more about the issues america is facing than most adults and this is evidenced by his conversations with his playmates that I overhear. He takes them to the back of my car where I have 5 bumper stickers that read”Big Govt. is like a prostate, the bigger it gets, the less it works.” and “I’ll keep my money, my guns and my freedom, you keep the change.”You get the picture. He actually debates with them. We went to a tea party here in Evansville, Indiana and Sara Palin was just here a few days earlier to speak at a “right to life” banquet. We had to endure for over a week animal rights activists TV commercials about Sara Palin. What is this country coming to. I loved your Tea Party live special and I really learned a lot. Especially about progressivism. You are so right about the Democrats and Republicans being one in the same. The chalkboard explanation of GOP and DEM was right on. I’m reading BOLD and FRESH right now. Have any books written by you that I can read? Haven’t heard you mention it. Next my 9yr old son and I are reading OReily factor for kids. He loves it but when I mention to him that someday he can be president and make things right he says”No mom, I’m gonna be a dentist, remember?
I was so thrilled you came over to Fox. You were the only one I ever watched on the other network. Good job and right on the truth.
if the current administration wants to continue with hearings/prosacution of the bush adminisration for thier “enhancesed interigation” policy, then why should there not be an investation/hearing of the obama administration for providing aid and comfort to the enemy in the time of war (treason) for releasing confidential files/memos.chuck wicker, raleigh, nc.
It is definitely time that a 3rd party or independents seriously start to compete w/ our 2 party system….This current system is failing and causing some severe apathy. Case-in-point was the presidential election. These were seriously the last ones standing???! How refreshing would it be if those most capable actually made a run for office!
I loved the whole show very much. There were two things that came up that really got my attention. Although I know the difference between far left (100% gov’t) and far right (no gov’t), your line graph putting Dems and Reps on the same line was the epitome of a picture being worth a thousand words. That educational piece should be on youtube. The second was starting the process for the repeal of the 16th Amendment. That opens the doors to everything: the end of the gravy train for the Feds- including spending programs that rile people in different ways & an honest discussion about constitutional taxation at all levels of gov’t; taxation that supports the true functions of gov’t and promotes our financial strength. I find it laughable that our Federal representation feels they can “scold” others for high level theft when they have been stealing from the American worker for decades! Their criminal self-righteousness is stunning.
GLENN,
Your a smart guy so all I need to do is give you what you need to know to figure it out for your self. So here it is……
The money we are spending hasn’t been spent yet but has been authorized to be spent…
WHAT CAN WE DO TO STOP THIS???
DON’T BUY CHINA… a real Boston like tea party would be, if you pick up an item at the store that says “Made in China” PUT IT DOWN…
No money coming in from China, no money for stimulus spending!
Tell your tea party listeners… do an end around on the spending by not paying the ones who are allowing us to barrow and spend!
DON’T BUY CHINA!
P.S. It’s junk anyway
I too very much appreciate you Glenn, your voice is badly needed, hopefully many of us will join with you in support of the principles our country was founded on. That we are loosing our freedom is evident, we must protest that erosian and do what we can to let more people know what is going on. I am amazed and disappointed at how complacent most people seem to be, and will be until it is too late! So stay strong Glrenn, many are praying for you and will be there with you nmatter what.
Glen we enjoy your new show. Wondering if you will rise up in support of Mike Savage in this ridiculous “banned from Britain” situation that broke today. Sure, you are competitors, but you share similar views though presented very differently and this could have been you on this list just as easily. Hope to hear some courage on this, many hosts see the writing on the wall and are standing up against this outrage.
Mr. Beck
I too was one American that turned off the news the moment the now seated President was declared the winner of our last Presidential election. I couldn’t believe what actually occurred, more so, I wasn’t willing to accept it. I kept waiting for my nighmare to end and I’d wake up and still be living in the great country that so many millions that love it like I, with one exception – they were the ones that gave their very life for for it so that we all could enjoy liberty and freedom like no other country.
A couple of weeks before Obama was was sworn in as POTUS, I decided that I better get ready. I am a news junkie and have been for over 25 years, so when I finally turned my television set back on, I learned you were going to have your own show and watched it. You noted in your first show that an individual felt exactly like me and I didn’t feel so alone. I want you to know I appreciate what you do and I want to thank you, so please continue to speak the truth.
After I watched your show today (5-6-09) I could not remain silent any longer. Our nation is under siege.
You have spoken a lot about common sense and are going on your common sense tour soon. The more I have witnessed what is going on and the inordinate number of people that have tried to put it into perspective on Fox, I have capsulated it into 7 words. Here’s what has happened.
Common sense has become common cents
Think about it – It’s now for the “supposed” common good

Washington understands the Tea Parties VERY well! That is why they are trying to destroy them.
Washington today ALWAYS tries to destroy anything and anybody of whom they are afraid; Sarah Palin,
Glenn Beck, Tea Parties, etc.
The was they do it is to send their surrogates out and demean, demonize and destroy those that they consider a threat!
Thank you Glenn for standing up against the Washington wall. Stay Strong!

From the Obama Political Bible…Rules for Radicals
RULE 1: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
RULE 2: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
They tested it on the Bush administration. Now….they are testing the American people.
I am a Vietnam Veteran. That says a lot to some of my friends. There has to be a lot of people who think that Obama is a Muselim. And I for one think that that he he has a long term agenda. He is the beginning of the downfall of AMERICA. Just wait. Just look at what he`s doing. I can see it comming. He`s taking over america. Everything he`s doing is falling into place. It doesn`t take a genious to see it. Your a good man Gleen Beck. I know you can see it comming. But a lot of people don`t want to believe it. The Congress has to stop him now. Or we don`t have a chance. All my Vietnam buddies are getting together for talks. So should all Americans. Our Government may have to answer to the american people someday. Judging just by the beauty padgent, we have lost the freedom of speach! Thank you, Paul Gouger, Chattanooga, TN I could say a lot more
Unions are only as good as the people in them. I was a shop stewart for 20 years and on a field board for 5 years. You are right, always use common scense. The government is being run by a different mob now.
Saw your interview with Fritz on the future of GM. He would not answwer your question about who is running GM now that they have taken taxpayer money.
If Fritz is at the helm, I’m afraid for the survival of GM as a viable car company. It showed he was beholden to Washington and the Unions.
If he thinks the unions are actually trying to help GM, he needs to get his head out of the black hole in his rear.
Thanks for a good try to ghet him to understand what he needs to do to survive.
That is get rid of WashingtonASAP.
Obama the Oncologist:
We in the U.S. are his patients. I think most of us realize we are going to die while in his care, but right now we don’t feel the pain!
