Regulated Internet????

Glenn Beck May 6, 2010 - 11:27 ET

GLENN: I'll give you the story on the FCC here in just a second, and this is important. I can't tell you the things that I'm working on now because we're not always just among friends and I don't ever want to give them an upper hand on where I'm headed as a business and as somebody who is working to expose the corruption in this country.

But one of the things that I did last year was start Insider Extreme and it was a step in the direction to be able to make sure that no matter, they try to shut me down on television, shut me down on radio, shut me down on Internet, shut me down in books, shut me down on stage. They have a lot of work in front of them. I keep all of my options open. They have already — the last time I spoke was two weeks ago. I was in, I was in Tyler, Texas and the venue that was there the night before at 10:00 at night, the inspectors came, health inspectors. It was about 10:00 at night. According to the venue, it was about 10:00 at night and he turns on the water and he notices that the water is down. Within ten minutes there was a knock on his door at the venue during a concert. It was a health inspector. I said, we're just here for a quick inspection, walk into the bathrooms, turn on the water and say, I notice that you don't have any water, we're going to have to shut you down; can we see where your water pumping station is. They took back to the back of the building. They made an error, at least in the way he tells it, they made an error because the health inspector said, "Show us your pumping station." He brings them back and the guy with the health inspector says, "Yes, I noticed that a couple of days ago, that those knobs were turned." Sorry, you noticed what? Hmmm? I thought you didn't know where the pumping station — you were here on the property and you were looking at the — what was that? Hmmm? 10:00 at night. I speak the next afternoon. They tried to close them down. Said, you are not licensed to do anything now this weekend, and I'm sorry, but we're closed and you can get a renewal license on Monday morning. He said, well, I've got a big event happening here. I've got 6,000 people coming tomorrow. I'm sorry, you are not going to be able to do it. "Well, I guess you are going to have to fine me then because I'm doing it anyway." He said he's under tremendous heat. He's bringing in conservative speakers.

 

It's happening. It's nudge. It's nudge. A little here, a little there. But they are doing it now with the Internet, and here's what they are announcing today.

 

PAT: Mr. Genachowski, the FCC chairman, is expected today to outline his plan for regulating broadband lines. He wants to adopt Net neutrality rules that require Internet providers like Comcast and AT&T to treat all traffic equally and not to slow or block access to websites, but it also gives them all the power to regulate the Internet and that's, that's what this is all about. This is not about speeding up your broadband.

 

GLENN: This is about — the people who are behind Net neutrality are free press, and I'm trying to remember. Stu, do you remember what Free Press' slogan is? It's like —

 

STU: Not off the top of my head.

 

GLENN: Change the Internet or Net —

 

PAT: Transform society, something like —

 

GLENN: Transform democracy.

 

PAT: Transform democracy.

 

GLENN: It was change the Internet and transform democracy, or something like that. This again is about transformation, and they are all the usual suspects. Everybody who is supporting this are the usual suspects. This is the group of radicals. And the radicals are inside the FCC. I know these things to be true because we have sources inside the FCC who are afraid to speak out publicly, and I don't want them to because they are better on the inside than they are on the outside. Yes, that's right, FCC. There are people inside that don't agree with you. But what's the problem with that? Isn't that what Cass Sunstein says? That the government agents should be able to infiltrate groups that disagree? You shouldn't have a problem with that. I hope you don't look over your shoulder.

Glen Beck is a flowering retarded douchebag. Thank you!

well i would honestly rather have more of a conservative person and glenn has made a better impact than obama atleast in my state there is no jobs n my town is dieing from that damn idiot president

Umm, wait a minute. The state of our economy has nothing to do with Obama. You can thank your conservative favourite George Bush jr and his administration for that one!

It's organizations like Fox News that spreads these retarded lies about Obama. Yes America is dying from an idiot president. I mean how short sighted do you have to be to realize the issues didn't just appear when Obama took office.

Get real first! Then let's work out a solution!

Hows the new "<u>CHANGE</u>" working out for you

 

What change are you speaking of?

Oooh I thought of something that has changed since our last administration. We have a president other countries respect. That's a good change.

sorry to tell you but his approval rate is so low he will be lucky to contend with anybody who runs against him he is an idiot and i completely disagree with alot of his policies he has done nothing to help the state of our country and most of the stuff fox news has said is true....now glenn has been crazy on some of the stuff that he has said but he has made good points sorry you don't agree but this Internet Regulated thing has been up in the air with the obama administration for some time which is another thing i disagree with but this is all my opinion and i'm sorry if this offends anyone i do not mean to be rude Travis as i hope you do not as well but the sarcasm does not help me understand why you see how well the president has done in his term of office so please enlighten me

I tend to look at it like you would a first year college football coach. You really can't measure their success or failure on just one season. They have to have the time to put their plan fully in place. Their own ppl and their own system. I'm not going to be quick to praise or condemn obama. He has his 4 years. At the end of that time it will afford everyone the opportunity to better know his true legacy. A first year coach is mainly riding on the actions of the previous coach. Time will tell. I think obama was elected because ppl want a drastic change. And going by our countries history it doesn't get more "change" than the nations first black president. Our system wasn't screwed over-night or by just one president. It took time to get in the shape we are in and it will take time to get our country back to where it should be.

My humble opinion is until we get these old farts out of the house and senate, get a generation of ppl that actually understand where the country is, and do away with this antiquated 2 party system, all you will see is more of the same.

The country is run by corporations, not by a president. Obama is probably the most intelligent president we have had in my lifetime so calling him an idiot is quite inaacurate. As for opinion polls, people talk a lot of shit and throw around a lot of lies. And followers follow it and dont ask questions. Opinion polls mean nothing, For instance, they didn;t ask my opinion. Did they ask you or error?

People like to flowering just to flowering. It makes them feel like they have some control over their lives. It seperates the "bad" from them. So I'm not interested in "opinion polls" run by people who slander and try to turn the country against Obama. They don't want him in office for a few reasons so they will do what ever is neccesary to get rid of him. Like trying to impeach Bill Clinton for having his flower sucked.

They tried to say the idea of national healthcare is Communist. Then they realized how retarded that was so they tried to say he was Hitler for giving us universal halthcare. Do you see, they are just trying to throw out names that people are against in America. Hitler and universal healthcare? Communism? Communism is not socialism. Russia was not even communism. It started as communism but the U.S.S.R. that America was so against was not communist. You want to look at a socialist country? Look at Sweden.

I think this country is pretty messed up. Money is more important than the health and well being of our people. That is so wrong. A couple companies caused a disaster with this oil leak in the gulf because they wanted things to go faster. They didn't consider the health of the ecosystem. They didnt consider the well being of the people. They only considered money. And now their position is based solely on profit. And the thing is, we don't even need oil! We could use much safer and healthier alternatives. Alternatives we can grow right here in America bringing many jobs to our people. But it's all about money.

So blame Obama all you want for whatever. The issue is with our country as a whole and how we are allowing it to be run.

451 posts in one hour. That's awesome.

Barak Obama: "... we have to ensure free and full exchange of information. ... Because once providers start to privilege some applications or websites over others, then the smaller voices get squeezed out and we all lose."

I couldn't have said it better myself. Kind of the opposite of what Glen Beck said Barak's position is isn't it?

glenn becks job is the same as most commentary type programs. They use shocking commentary and most of the time half truths in order to attract viewers. It's like anything else in the world. Drama brings in the viewers which in turn brings in the money. Beck's job isn't to inform, it's to get ppl to watch. He has the best of both worlds. He has the ppl that like him tuning in as well as the people that hate him. Apparently he is good at his job.

You just have to take it all with a grain of salt. This isn't news reality. It's reality news. Anyone that watches any "Reality" shows knows what I'm talking about.

I think debating on how great a job obama is doing is rather pointless at this juncture. Universal health care is a very nice idea. But being healthy in an economy where you can't afford to live or eat isn't an answer either. You can be the most healthy bum living under the bridge digging through the trash for food. I'm looking for more. But i'm realistic enough to know what i'm looking for can't be done overnight. I want the government we were promised and lawfully deserve. A government of the people, by the people, and FOR the people. Not for the lobbyists. Not for themselves. I want things like import/export reform. I'd like to see american companies that are actually based in the U.S. have a chance to put a product into the market place that can compete with oversea's products in price. I'd also like to see the american worker take pride in the product they make. Have a company that gives a damn about the people that work for them. Treat them like you need them and they might even decide the work they do is actually an investment in their own future. I'd like to see the United States spend more time worrying bout the United States and less time meddling in the affairs of other countries. We can't help others at the cost of hurting ourselves. There is nothing wrong with the system we have. But the system can't function as it is intended if the people in the system cheat, bypass, or try to corrupt the system. The sad truth is the ppl that are supposed to be FOR us are only FOR themselves. I think the people of the U.S. feel a major disconnect from the people that are chosen to run it. How many of you that are from the US feel the government is working hard everyday and sacrificing to help the U.S. as a whole and not just out to help those with the money and the power.

Your country desires more than 2 options, I see it all the time, but nobody at the top will allow it. Other teams try, but they are cut out of the debates, the media makes fun of them, tells the people that watch TV the other parties don't have a chance, basically guiding along the agenda, and confining the people to decide between the 2 parties. Its like a football league with only 2 teams, where one team wins about 65% of the time. Not much diversity can go on if only 2 teams are allowed to play...and that would be why nothing the people want to happen actually happens. They divide and concour, and they made up this false left and right paradigm where everyone needs to fall under one, and call all appear to be a set up. I would be willing to guess that most would not choose to fall out of that left and right thing, and do their own thing, but they are constantly being hurded under one of them, not really given a chance to broaden their horizons, as the media tends to deam their ideas to be on the fringe.
