Today was the first time I have watched that goof in months and of course I turned it on when he was doing that crap.
Big old WTF!

Well, at least he is trying to explain the destruction of our currency...and doing it so EVERYONE can get it, so he gets a little credit for that.

Let's hope the remainder of the next couple weeks is NOT something completely wrong...

Bill Hicks did that bit almost twenty years ago. I wonder if GB is a fan?

I watched that yesterday. Beck did a great job explaining it to people.

I still don't trust him though. Not one bit.

it is still wonderfully explained for a sheep to understand. Quite entertaining too.

I like on the chalkboard that says "The government doesn't create jobs". If I had a nickel for every person that believed they did. Think this is currently the biggest thing we need to educate people on.

Reversing a position he held in September, Glenn Beck today claimed that the Federal Reserve "actually may help us" if they decide to "print more money," ......

OUT OF CONTEXT.

Glenn is against the Federal Reserve's actions.

Media matters? Do you know who funds them? Do you know who created it?

Secondly, Glenn Beck has said stupid things on occasion, like making a pitch for the Chamber of Commerce. But he also said that he'd like to see the federal budget return to 1908 levels. That directly conflicts with this media matters blurb.

I'm not really sure he explained it very well. It was wildly oversimplified and didn't talk about dollar traps. There are many more powers lending to us than China, and I really don't think their reasoning for not purchasing US bonds is because Harry Reid has no spine and accepts money from union bosses.

Lots of fear-mongering on Beck's part and he's constantly interjecting with weird mini-conversations with himself. He misses out on many key points. He keeps going on about how people will have to sacrifice to keep the US government afloat - and he criticizes it. QE2 is probably the best chance the USG currently has at maintaining its power. Yeah, it's going to hurt taxpayers and savers -- that's how the USG works - it takes from the people who can afford it. Does Beck understand how devastated the US military would be if the US "reset" as he's calling for? Does he understand how vulnerable the US would be to foreign nations - and how destabilized US culture would become if its government collapsed and couldn't enforce any type of immigration requirements? A wet dream for me.

I honestly don't think he has any idea what he's talking about - and I agree with most of what he's saying. I think he's following a narrative and simply isn't intelligent enough to understand the implications of what he's calling on. I don't think he's evil, though. So, the question is whether or not somebody is influencing Beck with bad intentions, or is Beck just stringing together a bunch of ideas he's taken from people like The Judge and not thinking about what he's actually saying.

I saw today's show, and he was definitely slamming the fed while warning his viewers about hyperinflation and telling them to stock up on food. I have no idea what media matters was watching, but Beck was definitely talking about the harm that devaluing the currency does.

Will not give beck any credit or trust until he sways his massive audience away from supporting mainstream republican candidates. Until then, he is only babbling away to gain more exposure.

If the puppets make people think about the dollars value than I think its a good visual aid, nothing more. All in all a good piece that stirs the pot. Glad he stayed off the religous rants.

Glen try sock puppets next time!...LOL
