Enough is enough

December 31, 2013 On Today's Program With Glenn on vacation for the holidays, we're counting down the top Glenn moments of 2013. What were this year's highlights? Stay tuned to the Glenn Beck Newsletter to find out! 2013's most fascinating conversations In his quest to focus on what unites us instead of what divides us, Glenn has shared the stage with some pretty remarkable and insightful individuals this year. From the future of libertarianism to the art of being unmistakable, the truth about David and Goliath to the singularity, no topic was off limits as Glenn sought to find common ground and learn from some of this nation's most fascinating thinkers. Check out some of our favorite moments below: In November, illusionist, author, and actor Penn Jillette joined Glenn to discuss how new technology has allowed people to explore and create outside of the established system. Check out highlights from the interview HERE. Earlier this year, Glenn sat down with Penn, who is an atheist, and Rabbi Daniel Lapin to debate morality, faith, and religion. Watch the conversation unfold HERE. Glenn has been long been a fan of Judge Andrew Napolitano, and he joined Glenn in September to talk about the future of the libertarian movement in the United States. Small government, personal responsibility, and individual liberty is not partisan – it's principle. WATCH Glenn and author Srinivas Rao probably would never have crossed paths had it not been for his book, The Art of Being Unmistakable. In fact, it's probably safe to say they would not run in the same circles. But that is not a barrier to sharing and promoting similar ideals. In October, Srinivas sat down with Glenn to discuss why living an unmistakable life is as much about making things different as it is making things better. See highlights of the interview HERE. Best selling author Malcolm Gladwell joined Glenn in November to discuss the importance of out-of-the-box thinking and "the art of taking down giants". Malcolm surprised Glenn with his insightful interpretation of the story of David and Goliath. Watch their conversation HERE. Plus, Malcolm shares the one question he would ask God HERE. BONUS from 2012: Glenn sat down with well-known futurist Ray Kurzweil for a wide-ranging interview. WATCH Did you miss any of the 'Top Glenn Moments of 2013'?

Robert, did you read Matt’s E-mail? He’s right: 2013 was a great year! And we must make 2014 even better. Robert, my friends at FreedomWorks are already working to do just that. But if they're going to make 2014 better than 2013, FreedomWorks needs to raise at least $100,000 in the next 24 hours. And because of the overwhelming support they’ve received, the matching grant has been extended for another 24 hours! That means if you donate $50, $35, or $15 right now it will be matched dollar for dollar! Thanks to patriotic Americans like you and millions of FreedomWorks activists, we stopped a war, beat ObamaCare Exchanges in 36 states, and Common Core is failing! Next year, we need to stop the NSA’s spying, defeat ObamaCare, and end the progressive indoctrination of our children. We have a lot to do. And if we’re going to take our country back next year, we need FreedomWorks. They’re the best in the business. I support them. That’s why I want YOU to donate $50, $35, or $15 right now! I’ve seen FreedomWorks in action. I’m convinced they’re our best hope at restoring our country. And I know they’re the only way we’ll restore the America you and I grew up in. Robert, will you join me and support FreedomWorks by donating today? Remember, your gift will be doubled! If I haven’t told you yet, Happy New Years. I can’t wait to take our country back in 2014! Your Pal, Glenn Beck PS If you didn’t already, check out matt’s e-mail below! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  Glenn, 2013 is coming to a close, and you’ve made a difference. Laws to stop Common Core were introduced in 17 states, Obama’s War in Syria was stopped, ObamaCare Exchanges were defeated in 36 states. And we’ve exposed ObamaCare to all Americans. Today, 57% of Americans oppose ObamaCare! That’s what you did last year. That’s what YOU accomplished. I can’t wait for 2014. It’s the year we take our country back. But if we’re going to kick off the New Year with a bang, we need to raise $100,000 by New Year’s Eve. And thanks to a few generous donors, for the next 48 hours, your donation will be matched, dollar for dollar! Will you chip in $50, $35, or $15 to hit the ground running in 2014? Your donation will go twice as far! If we start working now, next year will be historic. 2014 will be the year we take our country back. We can do it. Look at what we accomplished last year! More Americans reject ObamaCare than ever before. And 36 states stopped ObamaCare exchanges. And Glenn, the fight against Common Core is going on in 17 states. Next year, we must double that. We can. But we need your help to do it! Hundreds of millions of dollars of TV ads didn’t accomplish that. Patriots like you did. That’s why we don’t need to match the Left dollar for dollar. And that’s why next year we can accomplish even more. We’re ten times more productive than they are!  And right now, you can double your impact. You can DOUBLE your impact - because a few big donors have pledged to match every donation you make dollar for dollar! So please, donate $50, $35, or $15 right now!  2013 was amazing. I can’t wait for 2014!

Friend of Hillsdale, time is running out...

Dear Friend of Hillsdale, What a year this has been! I hope it has been a good one for you, and that the family's Christmas holiday was blessed and joyful. As we head into the New Year -- not only a critical election year, but also the 170th Anniversary of Hillsdale College's founding -- we are planning to expand our educational outreach exponentially! But first, remember your last chance to make a 2013 tax-deductible gift to Hillsdale is Tuesday, December 31. Please make Your 2013 year-end, tax-deductible gift now. Now about our 2014 plans ... Winter at Hillsdale College You are a special friend and supporter of this College, Friend of Hillsdale. So let me speak plainly with you, just as I would if you were here in my office, or if I were visiting you in your home. You likely have noticed some serious threats to American liberty that are on the horizon. We at Hillsdale have as well. But we also see many opportunities for us to fight back and advance the cause of liberty. Let me share four of them with you: Opportunity Number 1: Americans Alerted to Bureaucratic Despotism Americans just experienced a national shockwave - the implementation of Obamacare. Contrary to the promises of those who sold it, many Americans can't keep their health insurance or their doctors under the new rules. This devastates millions of Americans, especially seniors on fixed incomes and Medicare, as many of your neighbors surely are. This national shockwave can't be spun by politicians or buried by the media. And that's a good thing! Dr. Larry P. Arnn, President, Hillsdale College In other words, millions of Americans suddenly experienced the unjust and uncaring power of a despotic centralized bureaucracy, and they are alert to its danger. This means there is a huge new responsive audience for Hillsdale's nationwide outreach effort to teach Americans what it will take to defend the principles of liberty and constitutional government against its enemies. But as we enter 2014, it has never been more urgent for the College to expand its efforts to educate millions of people about the Constitution's importance to liberty in America. Opportunity Number 2: The Mounting List of Failures by Centralized Bureaucracy Obamacare is just one of many signs that centralized bureaucracy is incapable of good government. Others include the trillions in debt laid on future generations ... the soaring numbers of Americans on government aid, food stamps, and disability ... the high rates of underemployment and unemployment ... our broken immigration system ... America's declining world leadership ... and on and on. The failure of centralized bureaucratic despotism is plain for all to see. This, too, is an opportunity for Hillsdale to educate millions of Americans on the solution to this urgent crisis of American government: the restoration of limited government under the Constitution! Opportunity Number 3: The Growing Pro-liberty, Pro-Constitution Movement You and I are not alone -- millions of Americans think as we do! I've met thousands of them across the land. I cannot thank you enough for the friendship you have shown to Hillsdale College. Many hold influential positions in state or federal office, and quietly (or not so quietly!) remind their colleagues that government is supposed to serve the People, rather than the other way around. Earlier this year Hillsdale sent a DVD set of the College's "Constitution 101" course and a copy of The Hillsdale College Constitution Reader to ALL of America's 7,800-plus state and federal elected officials. That includes your Governor, your U.S. Senators, and your U.S. Representative. So while many in the media try to downplay it, a growing number of Americans who support a return to limited government under the Constitution are rising up to act on behalf of liberty. Thank you for supporting the Hillsdale programs which are helping to expand this national movement! Opportunity Number 4: Hillsdale's Growing Prominence and Influence Amidst this reaction against the threat to liberty, more and more concerned citizens are joining you in supporting Hillsdale, enabling us to increase our capacity to advance liberty across the land. Hillsdale has just launched a "Rebirth of Liberty and Learning" capital campaign. This campaign includes the largest educational outreach for liberty in American history! We've already had over 700,000 registrants for our free online courses, including many policy makers and opinion leaders ... surpassed 2.7 million Imprimis subscribers ... broadcasted the "Constitution Minute" to tens of millions of radio listeners ... extended its educational mission on behalf of liberty to federal and state elected officials from coast to coast ... all with the goal of equipping fifty million of your fellow Americans to defend our founding principles. And in 2014, a critical election year, this nationwide educational mission becomes even more urgent. Hillsdale stands at the forefront of the movement to restore limited constitutional government in America. What other college -- of any size -- can say that? As you know, because we believe it to be destructive and unconstitutional, Hillsdale refuses all government funds - even indirect funds in the form of federal aid. This allows the College to preserve its independence without bureaucratic interference. That's how we have remained true to our mission for 170 years and it is the reason we are able to take a leadership role in defending liberty. My colleagues and I are grateful for your generosity, which helps make all this possible. Thank you! And now, because the time is right and the need is urgent, we're determined to do even more. Can I count on you, Friend of Hillsdale? You are the key to the success of our ambitious plans. Your generous tax-deductible gift before this year ends will make a real difference, enabling us to start the New Year ready to equip many more Americans to defend liberty in America. So today, while it's fresh in your mind ... before the December 31 IRS deadline ... please make your final 2013 tax-deductible gift to Hillsdale College. Thank you! Warmest regards, Larry P. Arnn President, Hillsdale College P.S. Ronald Reagan - who once said that "Hillsdale deserves the appreciation of all who labor for freedom," said the following in a speech in 1964: "We can preserve for our children this, the last best hope of men on earth, or we can sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness."? Friend of Hillsdale, with friends like you standing shoulder to shoulder with Hillsdale, we preserve liberty for our children. Future generations -- including the family -- will enjoy the same blessings of liberty that we have in this great nation - "the last best hope of man on earth." I hope I can count on you to make a year-end tax-deductible gift today to support the College's efforts on behalf of liberty in 2014. Friend of Hillsdale, your tax-deductible gift mailed by the Dec. 31 IRS deadline helps Hillsdale advance liberty in 2014 - thank you!
