From the March 4 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:

You obviously wouldn't understand since a basic understanding of humanity is required...
A warrant has just been issued for the arrest of... uh, "The Media," I guess?
Here's a summons, Mr. Beck.
You should know, Glennie. When will the Devil come to collect on you, buddy? Gee, I hope it's before anyone gets hurt.
And in case you can't decode that, Glenn, it has obviously escaped your attention that you are the media! Not to say I disagree. You should be tried.
Regardless of the evidence that Fox, and especially Beck, can be shown to be dishonest and unreliable, their audience is so trained that they see no problem in starting a witch hunt for the part of the media that is still occasionally reporting the truth.
Many of us are responsible people who are working, but cannot afford the health care insurance being offered at the current rates. We have to make a decision between purchasing that against paying our rent or mortgages, paying our electric, heat, and water bills, and buying clothing and groceries for ourselves and our families.
Many of us will become ill and we'll have to make a choice. What bill(s) do we skip to pay for the office visit? If there are treatments needed, medications required, what other purchases and/or bills do we put off? Some of us will skip the visit hoping we can ride out whatever is wrong with us. Many who choose that will have something far more serious than they realized and a simple ailment, very treatable ailment may turn into something far more serious. I understand that there's an average of 120 a day dying under those circumstances.
But, you know what I'm really tired of? I'm tired of people like Glenn Beck getting a nice, fat paycheck that covers his own highly publicized health issues rather comfortably while they smear, lie, and distort the effort being made to make health care available to those who need it.
Who benefits if health coverage stays exactly as it is, Glenn? And, how much have they spent? It far outstrips $150 million, that much you may be sure of. But then, they are protecting billions in profit, so laying out a little ready money to protect the golden goose is just wise business, isn't it?
C'mon, Glenn. It's almost becoming too easy. Your target demographic will soon start seeing through you at this rate. Watch out when that happens!
Corruption = You don't agree with what I want.
