Yeah, yeah, Glenn's an asshole.. we know... but this week's special on slashing the budget has been great. Interestingly enough, he is focusing on the military budget tonight:


Tonight on TV: Glenn's quest to become friendless continues tonight as the budget cuts continue with the toughest cut yet: defense. How can we cut defense? Find out tonight at 5pm only on the Fox News Channel!


I think it's worth tuning in to see what he says.

Wow :).

Beck's crazy, but I think he may be coming around, somewhat. Whether he'll ever do more good than harm is another question. He's an out of control bull in a china shop -- he's still just as likely to break your stuff if he likes you. The question is, whose stuff is he going to step on next?

I don't believe a word of it. When he actually backs a candidate who supports this and doesn't throw them under the bus as a truther or such, then I'm buying it.

Well, I'll give you the commentary:

Says he won't make any friends tonight, but it's time to attack the defense spending.

People say they want to cut spending, but when asked specifically, don't want to cut anything at all. They especially don't want to cut areas that need the most cutting.

Glenn's Policy of Defense

1. Mind our own Biz
2. The enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend
3. Nothing is in our interests w/o values and principles
4. Dont screw w/us

6. COME HOME-NO nation building or UN bulding

"I'm tired of being the world's policemen, and the world's loiterers"

"Republicans want to nation build, while the Dems want to do it through the UN"

"I don't want a global government or a global military."

He just took a shot at Donald Rumsfeld.

Going through Glenn's policy on defense - looks like it's coming out of Ron Paul's foreign policy of freedom.

Talking about why they really hate us.

Of course there are twists, he's not only a recovering neo-conservative, but he's also NOT RON PAUL.

That doesn't mean he's out to get someone, he's just marching to his own drum.

I have NO idea what to make of this. He sounds alot like Ron Paul - with the exception of not including on his list that you only go to war when you have a congressional declaration. Other than that.. I feel like he's messing with our heads!:confused:

It would be AWESOME if he really believes this and gets more Republicans to budge on their interventionist views but.... he's part of the media that distorts and deceives us on a daily basis. Something must be up. What could be gained by the powers that be to suddenly do a complete 360˚ on foreign policy??? Something to ponder...

Well, my views are a little distorted, I live in his stronghold in Southern Indiana.

The fight up north is going to be a lot tougher. It's more populated, and they know Dan Coats as well as we know Hostettler.

We'll see, he's down 3% in the polls right now. But he's been known to pull some wicked upsets.

I think Beck takes some unneccesary criticism on this forum. Sure, he was critical of Ron Paul in the past, but he's been reading a lot of good books, speaks to the Judge all the time, has had Ron on quite a few times on radio and TV, ditto with Rand. Has had Schiff on TV, Tom Woods etc. He's certainly no O'Reilly, Hannity, Olbermann etc.

The Medina thing, look, answering the question about 9/11 is easier than answering what newspapers you read. She messed up.

But anyway, he's certainly the best we have in the mainstream media. I hope his non-interventionism can rub off on Palin. I suspect she watches every day and this has to have an affect - and on the audience as a whole.

We need to get Schiff on Beck's show when his new book comes out! Ditto for Woods' book on nullification!

Yeah, I don't think it's an act -- I think he is honestly coming around. But, as I say, he's totally unreliable and unpredictable. Let's take the good when it comes, but I certainly wouldn't count on Beck in any way, to be a reliable or effective advocate for liberty.

Beck is not a Nepolitano, Stossel, or Cody Willard, and probably never will be.

THIS is good. most of the people i know who watch beck, swear by him, but also seem to still not think for themselves on certain issues such as undeclared wars. with beck saying this, it will open up a lot of people into looking into ron and what he says. beck has just gave paul a legitimate plug in the masses minds that are still sheepish whether that was the intent or not. this is why im glad beck is on tv for the most part (even though he irritates me sometimes) because i dont recall other host giving paul credit or even mentioning his name unless in a bad light for the most part.

Unfortunately, a majority of Fox/Beck viewers were at tea parties and will never hear or see him say that. :(

I laugh at those who are all pissed at this. How you can see it as anything but a spectacular moment for the movement is beyond me.

Who cares if he's not being honest in the things he said today?

It's like if someone gave you $5 million and then said "AHA! I GAVE YOU THAT MONEY NOT BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE NICE, BUT FOR MY OWN PERSONAL GAIN...MUAHHH I GOT YOU THERE!" Who cares? I still got my five million dollars.

The message of non-interventionism reached the homes of millions of potential voters in 2012. How is that a bad thing?

Sounds good and I love it... but I've loved a lot of things Beck has said over the last two years, it's all sounded good, then he stabs you in the back... glad his audience is hearing it, though...

As I've said before: We'll see who Beck is when it comes time to cut nuts, AGAIN... what was it, last week when he dimissed Ron Paul as a viable candidate?

And to you guys saying Medina fucked up the question: uhh, yah, she did, I think most of her supporters would admit that, but Beck never attacked her on "what a dumb bitch, she can't answer a question", she was dismissed as a cook and later placed into a category with Nazis on his TV program... she was TOO far to the right... this was just a couple of months back...

Hell, I think last year some time Glenn Beck said he was getting closer to Ron Paul, maybe even the year before (I've heard it before)...

Like I've said, we'll see where Glenn Beck stands come nut cuttin' time... right now he'll say what he can to continue selling books, selling out live-broadcast shows and to save a bit of face with the TRUE libertarian movement that ISN'T afraid to vote for Debra Medina or Ron Paul... until he proves himself with a little bit of action, he's a fuckin' fraud with a few brain-washed Ron Paulers mixed with the brain-washed batch of Sean Hannity refugees...

Beck cannot come out of the blue and say: I support Ron Paul.

Maybe he will never support Ron because he can't stand him for some irrational cause. But it's not unthinkable that Beck agrees with Ron Paul on close to everything, and is gradually convincing his audience to take a consistent pro-liberty philosophy.

I actually like the way Beck framed cutting the "defense budget" by calling it foreign aid. Paul could campaign on cutting foreign aid instead of cutting the military budget. Most neo-cons would think it means giving money to countries in the middle east and would still support it instead automatically shooting him down if he said "military spending".

The problem with Beck is that he's a corporate prostitute who will change his message to whatever his masters tell him to.

He's an unprincipled hypocrite. He's playing a confidence trick on us, and once he has us baited, he'll flip right back over to the Statist he has been all along.

Don't trust this guy. He will fuck you.

Its really amazing how receptive those neo-cons were to Beck's(Paul's) message. People are such partisan hacks. Its mind boggling how somebody will refuse to listen to some ideas unless they're delivered by a certain person.

People are so damn closed minded.

This is great - fantastic - wonderful news! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen the clips myself. I honestly thought MRoCkEd must have started this as a joke thread, as I read through what Beck was saying and it kept getting better and better.

This will be a great boon to the Liberty movement. The sooner mainline conservatives begin to view our nation's interventionist foreign policy as just another big-government program, the sooner we can count on their cooperation in restoring the Republic!

This is the forums biggest problem. Not taking help , when help is given.

Without Beck the tea party movement would have never taken hold. Most people i talked to over the last year have been motivated by Becks show.

Take help when you get it. Teach those giving help the whole truth about Paul's Message. I talk to "Tea Party" people who are just straight up G.W.B. Republicans all the time and convince them to look up what Ron Paul is talking about.

Becks helping this cause as the main messenger even if he getting it wrong at times. Take the help and use it.

Beck can never endorse Ron Paul because of the MSM blackout code, but he sure helps him like no other!!! You have millions of Beck listeners and book readers who haven't fully grasped that their burgeoning political philosophy is aligning with that of the villified whack-job Ron Paul.

You mean the tea party with Paul supporters or the one Beck and Palin as the maestros? Beck is the pied piper, follow him at your own peril.

I find it no coincidence that he sucks people in and then makes some outlandish commentary that then becomes the talking point to tar and feathering anyone naive enough to get in bed with him. The man is a whore and tptb are his masters.

Sadly we still have allot of Faux News sheep among us that are so easily brainwashed and led to believe he is a friend and this is good for RP movement.... Beck is a puppet for Rupert Murdoch and they know how to bring the RP movement into their trap. The GOP is scared and desperate. Ron Paul and the True Tea Party movement is a huge threat to the Banks, FED, and the Mideast agenda. Thats why they highjacked the movement that we now know as Tea-O-Cons.. :D

While I agree with this sentiment, if Fox wants to stay relevant it has to appeal to this growing wing of the American populace. Ron Paul's views have true popular appeal. The tides are changing and Fox needs to have a way to sneak into the new viewpoint when President Paul takes office.

No, the biggest problem with this movement is that we don't learn from out mistakes. I've said this before and I'll say it again...he crippled a campaign that would have stalled the NAFTA superhighway. That isn't just a little mistake! That's like George Bush saying, "Whoops...I accidentally signed a bill that will cost the taxpayers somewhere around a trillion and some dollars and gave their money away to corporate banks." No one is saying that Medina didn't answer the 9/11 truth question poorly for fuck sake (well at least I'm not)! But I'm absolutely disgusted with the people that defend Beck after he's called us terrorists and screwed over Debra Medina. Yet everyone still smears Debra for providing a poor answer to...ONE...ONE...ONE QUESTION!.

Must we forget that Beck helped to paint Paul as a 9/11 truther? Must we forget that Beck for MANY years promoted wars that ended up killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians!? Must we forget that while Beck criticized Bush on one hand...he called him a patriot!? Must we forget that Beck supported the PATRIOT Act? Must we forget that while he used to criticize the bailouts...he then talked about how it will be necessary when he was over at HLN!? So many of us here are students of history, but yet we can't see behind the shit that Beck repeatedly has done and most importantly how he repeatedly flip-flops?

The damage is already done! People have been persuaded into supporting illegal wars, the PATRIOT Act still is unchallenged, many people believe Ron Paul to be a 9/11 truther, we're looked as domestic terrorists, the bailouts have already passed, and Ricky Perry is set up for a 3rd term in office. Yah Beck, thanks for promoting liberty on a show that made you millions.
