Glenn's thriller debut countdown
Of course, The Overton Window isn’t just a book, it’s also a political theory that attempts to explain why ideas can be made to sound either reasonable or radical over time. For an example, check out this video Glenn put together, featuring Edward R. Murrow from 1961. Why don’t you hear journalists talking like that today? The Overton Window.

Obama: White CEO's hate inner city kids?
Glenn found it interesting that the President wouldn't meet with the CEO of BP just a few days ago because 'those people' are all the same and say what you want to hear. How are they all the same? Glenn plays the Obama interview where he says white CEO's don't like taxes because it goes to help inner city kids. Now, all of a sudden, he's willing to meet with the BP CEO. What's changed? Glenn has the audio and response on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

The Congressman was walking in public and had no business acting this way. Glenn has the video and the reaction on the radio program today. ( Transcript/Video, Insider Audio)
World Cup kicks off, stampedes resume
Glenn isn't much of a sports fan. But there is one thing he's noticed about the sport the Brits made famous that American sports just doesn't have: stampedes. Although, after hearing those beehive sounding vuvuzela's incessant buzzing, it's no wonder soccer fans want to trample people. Catch this rare glimpse into Glenn's athletic side, as he gives his take on the World Cup. WATCH
