Glenn Beck

[rko2004]

Is anybody watching? Dude is talking about the economy and everything basically. He just said about ten minutes ago that "China wants a One WorldGovernment due to this economic downfall" He said more but I don't remember word for word. I haven't heard many people who has a stage like thisspeak out like he is. He has been talking about the end of America and he said with one more "attack", the pendulum could swing in the wrong hands ofpower.

Turn to it?

What channel/network?

 

[rko2004]

HDLN its a branch of CNN. Don't let this post die. If you guys can keep all the other non sense threads going then keep this going. Dude is really speakingthat truth.

A lot of TV "personalities" say things to get ratings. Obviously it's working.

If you watched and listened then you would know. Man you guys are so quick to say "pish posh" you don't even realize whats going on.And its been going on for years! People always doubt then when things come to past its no big deal. Keep sleepin. Its on you. You'll be the one to get thatwake up call when its too late.

 

[rocksfan25]

Beck has always been a moron, he speaks on everything but is well informed on nothing. The guy is ignorant as hell and that's why I can't stand him.

 

[espnonthescreen]

Beck is generally an idiot

Glen Beck is awesome. I enjoy/listen to what he has to say. However, I'm usually preoccupied with a different station duringhis time slot

TBONE

IN MY POST! OH MY GOSH THIS IS HISTORIC!









No but seriously dude is very entertaining.

 

[throwedindagame]

Wait, OP is actually taking Glen Beck serious? How often do you watch his show? You should know by now that dude is just a sensationalist.

 

[darthska]

Entertaining? Yes.

Awesome? No.

I hope that him and Nancy Grace have less than 5 fans between the both of them.

It's not in me to 'hate', and if it were, it's definitely not in me to hate someone I don't know personally, but for those two, I feel thehighest form of antipathy that a person can feel towards another person without actually hating them.

If you find my 2008 Prez thread I got infoof where I was & new updates.
But to some extent you have to take what people say on NT with a grain of salt.... most have views of things from a certain perspective.

and SKA, awesome was just an adjective... I could have used several other ones but just threw that out there.

Beck drops a lot of knowledge and is entertaining while he does it. I honestly don't watch him THAT often but have liked his program when I have.

The reason the economy sucks is because there is too much debt. People that shouldn't have been given loans were given loans. It's notrocket science, and it doesn't help that our leaders in government have a spend first mentality pay later. I guess I should go back to making my tin foilhat...

You think maybe there is a group of people who plans for the dollar to fail?

While I do agree with that, you're talking as if you wouldn't be included in the 'most'.

No.

 

[darthska]

'Sensationalist' is the most accurate word to describe the likes of Beck and Grace.

I've seen plenty of both of their wastes-of-air-time, which is plenty more than I wish I did.

Not quite.

The amount of subprime loans that were made that were defaulted on were in the vicinity of $400-600 billion.
However, the current problem today in the US is over $2 trillion in bad paper.

Do you see a disconnect there?

It's not as simple as " they were making bad loans to poorly qualified people". The problem we have today was created as a result of what thebanks and investment houses did with those loans (securities, derivatives, ets.) not necessarily the loans themselves. If we only had to deal with the subprimeloans than it wouldn't be that bad.

The media dn Feds yelling "subprime" at every opportunity is just more smoke and mirrors to obfuscate the real problem; derivatives created from allthose loans.

How would I? I'm curious as to what you were thinking, then I'll tell you what I was thinking.

Well we'll just have to see now won't we?

 

[darthska]

Glenn Beck is so awesome that a thread made about him, with a thread title that contains only his name, isn't even about him anymore... before the threadeven reaches it's second page.

A lot of it has to do with the credit default swaps which is, from what I understand, basically an insurance against those loans. It's ashame that subprime mortgage is what gets all the press because it's the easiest news to sell.

 

[r33p04s]

^ basically that's what it is these big banks became insurance agencies and now they have millions of claims and have to honor them...but yea subprime isthe easy sell because explaining that is too hard...wait no it wasn't
