Interview: Katie Couric Interviews Glenn Beck

I noticed AllahPundit posted an excerpt to this interview and I went and checked; sure enough, I was able to snag the whole thing.

I think Glenn does a good here. He is quite careful not to fall into any of Katie’s traps. Glenn does seem to have some opinions of his very own. Some I agree with; some I highly disagree with, including his idiotic assertion that he is some sort of a libertarian. His position on defense and Abortion are classic Conservative positions.

However, I give the man props; he does hold to some decent positions that I agree with, and did criticize Bush; just as I did here. I also took great issue with his moronic attitude toward the auto companies; seeing my father is a retired auto worker. I found myself flipping him the bird at the part of the video.

One part of the video that I really liked was the part about Glenn realizing that he had to sober up and get his life right with God. I can totally identify with this. I am, in fact, the Grandson of a “working Alcoholic”; who never got help and ended up dead of cancer, by the time he was in his early 50’s. Something that this writer and blogger was on the path to doing myself also in the 1990’s. I highly doubt that I was as “far gone” as Glenn and I really did not have to go to rehab. But, I can tell you this; the mentality is the same, you can feel the power of drink and it does begin to take control of your mind. I am quite blessed in the fact that I had not lost control of my ability to stop. Something that I will always and forever more be grateful to God for.

Glenn also talks about his mother who committed suicide; something that I think takes quite the man to talk about to anyone; which less some semi hostile media type interviewing you.

The bottom line is this: All in all, it is a very decent video and I think everyone, Liberals, Conservatives, Republicans and Democrats should watch this video.

Enjoy…
