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.

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!

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.
