"What's the secret sauce?'' Glenn Beck is asked about the popularity of his FOX News Channel program in an interview with Newsmax - sort of like a Keith Olbermann interview in Ramparts.
"America is looking for someone, whether you agree or disagree, who will say the truth,'' Beck says. "Because I am a recovering alcoholic, when I hit the bottom, I promised to the Lord that, if he would take the guilt away... I would serve him... and I have done that...
"You may not agree with me,'' Beck says, but he will tell it like it is.
Why is the "Left'' hysterical about him? ("Any college kids that are watching,'' host Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax Media, notes in an aside to the audience, "don't tell your professors that you watch Glenn Beck. You'll get an F.''

At this point, I have come to the determination that there is no reason to watch any other political program aside from Glenn Beck. No one connects the dots as he does. No one gives insight into their reasoning as he does. No one displays their passion and honesty as he does. He is the best journalist that I have ever seen. Thank God for Glenn Beck.
I pretty much agree. And, I listen to Rush on the Radio in addition to Glenn.
Ditto.
Matter of fact, I’ve tried to watch other Fox shows and just can’t. I’ve even tried watching the rival stations cause it’s always good to know what the enemy is up to. Frankly, nothing compares to Beck...he cuts to the chase, presents the facts and doesn’t waste time with the purely partisan attacks that seem to dominate other shows.
He needs to study Teddy Roosevelt a little better, but other than that, he’s OK. I prefer Rush. Though I get tired of all the yakkers if I get too much of them.
Rush has been a disappointment this past year-and-a-half.
I started researching Barack Obama in March ‘08 and began sending Rush emails containing information that was forthcoming about candidate Obama.
Rush did nothing with the information. I continued sending information until this past July. Again nothing.
We have a usurper as president because NO ONE among the big mouths of conservative talk radio spoke out about Obama’s background.
“God Help us all” can be trumped by “God Helps Those Who Help Themselves!”.
Fear? Why?
Glenn, you yourself often say that you are here in this time and place for a reason. Don't fear it. Embrace it, and rise to the challenge as our Founding Fathers did.
Victory is ours.
Rush chooses what he is going to cover. I think he is doing his normal excellent job. Glenn hits the heaviest of topics, but Rush has not refrained from using the Marxist phrase.
I’ll be more than happy if the left tries to forcibly consolidate their power. They’ll be CRUSHED. I’m far more worried about the slow train to socialism that has been ongoing since FDR, only interrupted briefly, by RWR.
Ditto, and if you can, try to find Jim Quinn. He’s at http://www.warroom.com or http://www.wpgb.com/main.html to listen live at 6:00AM.
I have pretty much stopped paying attention anywhere else. Beck, Rush, Quinn.
Too hard, at least as far as his pre-Bullmoose party days are concerned.
Exactly. Bring it on, let's get it over, and get back to the country our Founders envisioned.
Did you read the posts on the page? We are in serious trouble.....these people are voters? God forbid...
Same here.Rush gets into other details of major concern with regard to this so called administration in ways Beck does not have the time to discuss with all the dots he is connecting. Both are serving an important service.
Boy, that's a long time coming. Cf. America is Waiting ( Click on it ) at My Life in the Bush of Ghosts ( same link ) from 1981. I've got this on vinyl, and I traditionally play it on Halloween during Trick or Treat, inter alia.
Sons of Liberty unite!
Glen Beck is better than Rush, he doesn’t beat around the bushes. He tells it like it is, with out fear or reservation. I can believe the informatin he has. Oh God, my Lord, please protect him.
