Beck Trek

I'm on the crazy train with Glenn Beck, and I LOVE IT!

Glenn Beck on The O’Reilly Factor Update: June 30, 2009

Beck finally did mention Franken on The Factor. He said that having Al Franken as a Senator is like having Glenn Beck as a Senator … it’s insane. I actually agree with him. Now that I think about it, they are sort of similar in the way they do comedy, haha!

Monica Crowley (who is also an author) stood in for O’Reilly, and had him stick around for two segments, which doesn’t usually happen. Although, when she asked him to stick around, she said that he “sticks around like a fungus.” I’m not sure if “fungus” is really a term you would playfully call a friend, but maybe she’s just weird that way.

Beck also talked a bit about how we are pulling the troops out of Iraq, but that nobody is making a big deal of it even after we asked troops to risk their lives and kill in our name. He said that there is no statesmanship anymore, and Obama has not raised himself to the standard of the office of the President. He pleaded with the viewers not let the troops come back and feel like they haven’t done anything important.

I totally agree with him on this one. Obama does not seem to be really connected with the troops, even when he thanks them. It’s like he just gives a speech and thanks them because he has to, but doesn’t seem to really understand what they have sacrificed. Obama has a sort of arrogance about him, where he seems to put himself at a higher level, and speak down to people as if they’re little worker bees doing a job that he needs done, but not really caring about what happens to them.

He also talked a bit more about the Cap and Trade Bill, and what will happen if it passes. He said that we will have to have a team of government officials come in and check that homes are energy efficient before they can be bought or sold, even though it’s already hard to sell homes right now. In addition, Crowley pointed out that the bill will cause all prices for all products to go up, and therefore jobs to be lost, in order to meet the new standards.

Beck then made an interesting point. He said that someone in congress actually told him that the House had to pass the bill or the EPA would pass something worse. Does this mean Congress now answers to the EPA? It certainly seems as though this is becoming the case, even if they are not directly taking orders from the EPA. They are definitely trying to do everything they can to pass bills that will cause all Americans to answer to the EPA, even when it will hurt us all financially.
