[captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute ---www.ncicap.org--- glenn: welcome to the glenn beck program! it's like oprah today. we have a -- all right. all right. we have a very special show tonight. we have moms from all across the countries. there are some people, it seems to me, in the media, that have been so quick to mock the people who are just gathering in town squares an town halls. tonight, we're going to talk to actual people about what concerns average americans have. what is it that is eating at the people who are standing up? i think you're going to find their concerns quite normal, indeed, and rational. the only questions will be left, really, quite honestly, for our government, and the media, so why is it that no one in the fringe media can actually get the tea parties right? is it really that tough to figure out why so many people are willing to take the precious time out of their life, away from their kids and their family so they can let their voice be heard? is it really that complex? is it really that difficult to comprehend that people become concerned when their president sets out on a mission to fundamentally transform the country and yet leaves a lot of details out? is it hard to believe that so many citizens would recoil at the president's use of the high pressure tactic of you got to do it now, quick, quick, quick! that's the time when most americans walk away from the car dealer saying i don't want to buy that car, i don't think. they respond by saying slow down. let's talk about it a little bit, please? could you read the bill? do the people in the media not see their children's future and say, like a lot of people here say, i don't know if there's going to be a country left for my children because of all the spending that you're doing. do they not look at the numbers in their own news reports and say wait a minute, this doesn't add up? is it possible for the media to believe that even those who voted for obama and want some of the things that he has talked about have realized that now, wait a minute, maybe we can't afford all of this at least right now. is there no one in the media that understands that? is there no one in washing top in washington that stands that, no one who reported on the prize of halliburton over and over again, and sees acorn and the corruption there and the apollo alliance and seiu and how the president is using these groups. >> the supreme court never looked into redistribution of wealth. the tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court focused, i think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change. glenn: that is probably the most important thing that explains everything. that is the most important thing i think this president has said. does nobody in the media see that on the czars, it's not a political witch-hunt? americans are just uncomfortable with revoluntionary read cals having unchecked authority -- revoluntionary radicals have unchecked authority on all kinds of things? we don't even know who these people are. healthcare. healthcare. americans are promised an open and honest debate before overhauling the system. that promise isn't kept. in fact, yesterday they said no, no, we're not even going to post it on-line. what? on the bailouts and american spending, the americans want to see the government play and live by the same rules we do. bad investment? live with the consequences of your own actions. if you don't have the money, you can't spend t we can't. how do you keep doing it? they can't see that point of view? i believe they see it and they do get it, but the people in washington and the media are part of the problem. not all of them. i'm trying to bring you the truth. a lot of people on this network are trying to bring you the truth every single day. i'm trying to understand the world we live in here. i might get it wrong once in a while, but i will lead with the correction if i get it wrong. i want to be wrong, but here is some of the realities that we face, when a major healthcare company informs its customers of its concerns about healthcare legislation, this government threatens to investigate them, threatens legal action! they're told by the government, sit down, be quiet! when regular people oppose the government-run healthcare and let be voices be heard at tea parties across the country, they're labeled angry mobs ante baggers and now domestic terrorists, gun-toting radicals! do these look like gun-toting radicals to you? if more and more people stand up, they will only continue to paint those people into the bad guy, and here is the most disturbing thing yet. while they are doing that, they have used the n.e.a. to make propaganda with your tax dollars. we have the audio of a call coming from the white house, where they are saying, hey, now listen, just push the president, you know and his agenda a little bit. push the administration. what? on top of that, they are now indoctrinating our children. we showed you all kinds of video this week. start with this one "the story of stuff." >> let's start with the government. my friends tell me i should use the tank to symbolize the government. more than 50% of our federal tax money is going to the military, but i'm using a person to symbolize the government because i hold true to the vision and values the government should be of the people, by the people, for the people. >> she followed that with the government's job is to take care of us. no, it's not. is telling that to our children, and telling our children that america is a bad place, is paid for by the tides foundation and all comes out of berkeley, california and it's all over our schools. also this week, we have shown you this. ♪ he said that we must take a stand mmm mmm president obama barack hussein obama he said red, yellow and white are all equal in his sight ♪ glenn: kids singing a song about barack obama! i'll tell you something, we can't sing christmas carols in this country, but we can do that? and the line that "they're all equal in his sight." sunday i hear that, but it is a capital h. is it a capital h with this guy? you wonder why people are in the street? let me introduce you, america, to some of these crazy gun-toting radicals who refuse to sit by and let it happen. they are concerned moms. that's all they are, moms. moms, saying what is happening to my country? what is happening to our schools? how do we survive this. also, frank luntz is author of a brand new book "what americans really want, really. " i asked frank to come in because he has done town hall meetings or research on meetings, and people all across the country. i want him to verify on what we're hearing, is this abnormal or is this what is happening across the country? and dr. keith ablow is here, scientist and fox news contributor. he will hold me if it gets scary and say i'm here you for. thanks, doc. mary baker, mother of 7, who holds her daughter crystal who is here, and mary davis, mother of 12. irread your profile today. she also said i like to blog and like books. how about sleep? and a 9/12 project volunteer coordinator, angel robinson, coordinateer for the campaign for liberty. ok. ladies where do we start? we asked you tell us what is on your mind. i feel like richard dawson "and the survey says!" thinks that concern you. it was amazing how consistent you were. history lessons are not being taught to our children. that is pretty much the theme of the first one. it was basically that our kids -- they don't even know what america is anymore. they don't even know the history. mary, you want to comment there? >> what i would like to say about that is we need to know our history. i wrote the article "why i am no longer an african-american" because it seems like in these times in our nation, we should be together. we should be americans, and it seems like we're being so torn apart, and one of the things we need to teach our children, because it was a long time ago, 40 years ago, that we needed to see the time our children could walk hand in hand and not have to be separate and unequal, and now in this time where we've given the golden opportunity, it's happening again. glenn: who is tearing us apart? they will say on the floor of the senate, they actually said my name, in a debate, and they said that all this is being caused by me and people like me. i'm like, they know who i am? they hate me. i feel so good inside! [applause] so who is tearing us apart? is it the media? is it people like me? is it the tea party people? >> it's the government. >> it's the government. >> it's the media, for sure. >> the only people i have heard doing the name calling are flan si pelosi -- nancy pelosi, the pundits on cnn, the pundits on abc, nbc. i quit watching regular news on the night of the election when they called me a racist because i happen to live in the south and didn't vote for barack obama. i don't watch them anymore. glenn: the president says he doesn't believe that. >> he says anything. >> the media says it's ok to call us all these things and try to shut us down. we're here to say we're not shutting up. we're not sitting down. we're going to stand up! if we don't show our kids what the government is doing to us now, they won't have a future. our kids are our future, as the song goes, and our forefathers fought and died for us for freedom, for us. now it's our turn to do the same for our children, so they can grow up into a better world than it is now. [applause] glenn: let me take a hand poll. raise your hand if you agree with this statement, that the democrats and the republicans and the independents you know in real life, the people that are your neighbors, those people are driven than the people -- those people are different than the people we have elected and send to washington. bonnie says kind of, a little, why not? >> it depends on where you live? i live in a liberal, ultraliberal community, and i see the anger every day, and i don't like it. i feel completely alone in the town that i live. glenn: you live in the new york area? >> i live in engel wood, new jersey. glenn: sorry for that. but no, i think that's the thing about the media missing. there are pockets that liberals move. like in texas, so there are throws pockets, but generally speaking, the people that are our neighbors are driven than the people that we send out to washington. >> hello, everyone. this is a fox news alert. president obama is about to speak at the g20 summit in pittsburgh at the david lawrence convention center. he is going to announce the progress made at the summit and will be taking questions on the developing situation with iran. let's listen in. >> pittsburgh has been extraordinary hosts. last night during the dinner that i had with world leaders, so many of them commented on the fact that sometime in the past, they had been to pittsburgh, and in some cases, 20, 25 or 30 years ago, and coming back, they were so impressed with the revitalization of the city. a number of them remarked on the fact that it pointed to lessons that they could take away in revitalizing manufacturing towns in their home countries. the people here have been just extraordinary and so i want to thank all of you for the great hospitality. i will tell you, i'm a little resentful, because i did not get to pamela's diner for pancakes, although priesm minute prime minister hotomaqa of japan did get pancakes and i don't know how he worked that, but he was raving about them. six months ago, i said that the london summit mark add turning point -- marked a turning point in the g20's efforts to prevent economic catastrophe. in pittsburgh, we have taken several significant itselfs forward to secure our recovery and transition to strong, sustainable and balanced economic growth. we brought the global economy back from the brink. we laid the groundwork today for long-term prosperity as well. it's worth recalling the situation we face six months ago, the contracting economy, skyrocketing unemployment, stagnant trade, and a financial system that was nearly frozen. some are warning that a second gade depression, but because of the bold and coordinated action we took, millions of jobs have been saved or created. the decline in output has been stopped. financial markets have come back to life, and we stopped the crisis from spreading further to the developing world. still, we know there is much further to go. too many americans are still out of work, and struggling to pay bills. too many families uncertain about what the future will bring, because our global economy is now fundamentally interconnected, we need to act together to make sure our recovery creates new jobs an industries while preventing the kinds of imbalances and abuse that led us into this crisis. pittsburgh was a perfect venue for this work. this city has known its share of hard times as the steel industry could no longer sustain growth but pittsburgh picked itself up, dusted itself off and is making the transition from bio technology to clean energy. it serves as the model for turning the page to a 21st century economy and reminding us that our future prosperity lies not in new york or los angeles or washington, but in places like pittsburgh. today we took bold and concerted action to secure that prosperity and forge a new framework for strong sustainable and balanced growth. first, we agreed to sustain our recovery plans until growth is restored, and a new framework for prosperity is in place. our coordinated stimulus plan played an indispensable role in diverting catastrophe. now we must make sure that when growth urns, jobs do, too. that's why we will continue our stimulus efforts until people are back to work and phase them out when our recovery is strong. we can't stop there. going forward, we cannot tolerate the same old boom and bust economy of the past. we can't grow complacent. we can't wait for a crisis to cooperate. that's why our new framework will allow each of us to assess the other's policies, to build con sen consensus on reform and to ensure that global demand supports growth for all. second, we agreed to take concrete steps to move forward with tough new financial regulations so that a crisis like this can never happen again. never again can we let the schemes of a reckless few put our people's well being at risk. those who abuse the system must be held accountable. those who act irresponsibly must not count on taxpayer dollars. those days are over. that's why we have agreed to a strong set of reforms. we will bring more transparency to the derivatives market. we will strengthen national capital standards so that banks can withstand losses an pay for their own risks we will bring more powerful tools to hold large global financial terms accountable to manage failures without burdening taxpayers antiexecutive pay to long-term performance so that sound decisions we regarded for the paver sus short-term greed. third, we agreeed to phase out subsidies for fossil fuels so we can transition to a 21st century energy economy, an historic effort that would ultimately phase out $300 billion in global subsidies. this reform will increase our energy security t will help transform our economy so that we're creating the clean energy jobs of the future, and they will help us combat the threat posed by climate change. as i said earlier this week in new york, all nations have a responsibility to meet this challenge, and together, we have taken a substantial step forward in meeting that responsibility. finally, we agreed to reform our system of global economic cooperation and governance. we can no longer meet the challenges of the 21st century with 20th century approaches. that's why the g20 will take the lead in building a new approach to cooperation, to make our institutions reflect the reality of our times. we will shift more responsibility to emerging economies within the international monetary fund and give them greater voice. to build new markets and help the world's most vulnerable citizens climb out of poverty. we established a new world bank trust fund to support investments in food security and financing for clean and affordable energy, and to ensure that we keep our commitments, we agreed to continue to take stock of our efforts going forward. now, we have learned time and again that in the 21st century, the nations of the world share mutual interests, and that's why i have called for a new era of engagement that yields real results for our people, an era when nations live up to their responsibilities and act on behalf of our shared security and prosperity, and that's exactly the kind of strong cooperation that we forged here in pittsburgh, and earlier this week in new york. indeed, on issue after issue, we see that the international community is beginning to move forward together. at the g20, we have achieved a level of tangible global economic cooperation that we have never seen before, while also acting to address the threat posed by climate change. at the united nations security council, we passed an historic resolution to secure loose nuclear materials, to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and to seek the security of a world without them, and as we approach negotiations with iran on october 1, we have never been more united in standing with the united kingdom, france, russia, china and germany in demanding that iran live up to its responsibilities. on all of these challenges, there is much more work to be done, but we leave here today more confident and more united in the common effort of advancing security and prosperity for all of our people, so i'm very grateful to the other world leaders who are here today. with that, let me take a few questions. i will start with ben feller of a.p. >> thank you, mr. president. the iranian president said today that your statement of this morning was a mistake, and that your mistakes work in iran's favor. what gives you any sense that you can genuinely negotiate with them, and also, when you talk about holding iran accountable, is the military option growing more likely? >> i think it's important to see what happens today, building on what happened in new york. you had an unprecedented show of unity on the part of the world community saying that iran's actions raised grave doubts in terms of their presentation that their nuclear program was for peaceful purposes. not only did the united states, france and the united kingdom, who initiated the intelligence that brought this to light stand before you, but you had china and russia as well issue statements calling for an immediate iaea investigation. that kind of solidarity is not typical. anybody who has been following responses to iran would have been doubtful just a few months ago that that kind of rapid response was possible. so i think iran is on notice that when we met with them on october 1st, they are going to have to come clean, and they are going to have to make a choice. are they willing to go down the path, which i think ultimately will lied to greater prosperity and security for iran, giving up the acquisition of nuclear weapons, and deciding that they are willing to abide by rules of international standards in their pursuit of nuclear energy, or will they continue down a path that will lead to confrontation? as i said before, what has changed is the international community, i think, has spoken. it is now up to iran to respond. i'm not going to speculate on the course of action that we will take. we're going to give october 1st a chance, but i think you've heard that even countries who a year ago or six months ago might have been reluctant to even discuss things like sangs, have said that -- to discuss things like sanctions have said that this is an important enough issue to peace and stability in the world that iran would make a mistake in ignoring the call for them to respond in a forthright and clear manner, and to recognize that the choice they make over the next several weeks and months could well determine their ability to rejoin the international community or to find themselves isolated. the last point i'll make, specifically with respect to the military, i have always said that we do not rule out any options when it comes to u.s. security interests, but i will also reemphasize that my preferred course of action is to resolve this in a diplomatic fashion. it's up to the iranians to respond. patricia, at reuters. >> you said a couple of months ago that the war in afghanistan is a war of necessity. do you think it's possible to meet u.s. objectives there without an extra infusion of u.s. troops? and as you consider this, how does the public's lagging support for the war affect your decision making now, and how is your due process affected by the allegations of e election fraud? >> well, first of all, let me be clear on our goals. we went in to afghanistan not because we were interest rtd in -- interested in entering that country or positioning ourselves regionally, but because al qaeda killed 3,000-plus americans. they vowed to continue trying to kill americans, and so my overriding goal is to dismantle the al qaeda network, to destroy their capacity, to inflict harm not just on us, but people of all faiths and all nationalities, all around the world, and that is our overriding focus. stability in afghanistan and in pakistan are critical to that mission, and after several years of drift in afghanistan, we now find ourselves in a situation in which you have strong commitments from our nato allies. all of them are committed to making this week, but i think there is also recognition after that many years of drift, it is important that we examine our strategies to make sure they actually can deliver on preventing al qaeda from establishing safe havens. obviously, the allegations of fraud in the recent election are of concern to us, and we are still awaiting results are. we are waiting on the i exc and ecc issuing their full report. what is most important is that there is a sense of legitimacy in afghanistan among the afghan people for their government. if there is not, that makes our task much more difficult. in terms of the review process that we're going through, we -- the minute i came into office, we initiated a review, and even before that review was completed, i ordered 21,000 additional troops into afghanistan, because i thought it was important to secure the election to make sure that the taliban did not disrupt it. what i also said at the time was that after the election, we are going to reassess our strategy, precisely because so much of our success has to be linked to the ability of the afghan people themselves to provide for their own security, their own training. the afghan government's ability to deliver services and opportunity and hope to their people, so we are doing exactly what i said we would do in march. i put in a new commander, general mcchrystal, and i asked him to give me an unvarnished assessment of the situation in afghanistan, and he has done that as well. but keep in mind that from the start, my belief was, and this is shared with our allies, that our military strategy is only part of a broader project that has to include a civilian component, has to include a diplomatic component, and all those different factors are being weighed and considered at this point, and i will ultimately make this decision based on what will meet that core goal that i set out at the beginning, which is to dismantle, disrupt and destroy the al qaeda network. with respect to public opinion, i understand the public's weariness of this war, given that it comes on top of weariness about the war in iraq. every time we get a report of a young man or woman who's fallen in either of those theaters of war, it's a reminder of the extraordinary vac fies that they're making. -- the extraordinary sacrifice that they're making. i know that our partners in afghanistan feel that same pain when they see their troops harm ed, so this is not easy, and i would expect that the public would ask some very tough questions. that's exactly what i'm doing, is asking some very tough questions, and, you know, we're not going to arrive at perfect answers. i think anybody who has looked at the situation recognizes that it's difficult and it's complicated, but my solemn obligation is to make sure that i get the best answers possible, particularly before i make decisions about sending additional troops into the theater. john, of kdki. good to see you, john. >> thank you, mr. president. let me ask you, while we were inside this very safe and secure and beautiful convention center, some 5,000 at least demonstrators were on the outside, some causing some property damage, others just shouted their messages, much of which has to do with the g20 summit. while you think it was a success and represents a positive sign, they see it as something as devilish and destructive of world economy, and particularly the economy of the poor. what is your response to those who are demonstrating and those who oppose this summit? >> well, first of all, i think it's important to just keep things in perspective for the people of pittsburgh. if you have looked at any of the other summits that took place, i mean, in london, you have hundreds of thousands of people on the streets. in most of these summits, there has been a much more tum mule truous response -- tumultuous response, and i think the mayor and county executives and the people of pittsburgh deserve extraordinary credit for having managed what is a very tranquil g20 summit. i think that many of the protests are just directed generically at capitalism, and they object to the existing global financial system. they object to free markets. one of the great things about the united states is that you can speak your mind and you can protest. that's part of our tradition, but i fundamentally disagree with their view that the free market is the source of all ills ironically, if they had been paying attention to what was taking place inside the summit itself, what they would have heard was a strong recognition from the most diverse collection of leaders in history that it is important to make sure that the market is working for ordinary people, that government has a role in regulating the market in ways that don't cause the kinds of crises that we have just been living through, that our emphasis has to be on more balanced growth, and that includes making sure that growth is bottom up, that workers, ordinary people, are able to pay their bills, make a decent living, send their children to college, and that the more that we focus on how the leeflts of these are doing -- the more that we focus on how the least of these are doing, the better off we're going to be. the principles are in the communique that was issued, and so i would recommend that those who were out there protesting if they're actually interested in knowing whats was taking place here, to read the communique that was issued. laurel, is laurel here? >> i'm here. thank you, mr. president. i would like to follow up with iran. since iran seems to be so blatantly in breach with its international obligations and many allies going impatient, why even meet with the iranians on october 3, and can you also explain to us what happened between the end of 2007 when an intelligence estimate was that iran was pursuing nuclear weapons, and what credit should be given to such intelligence? >> well, first of all, with respect to the intelligence that we presented to the iaea, this was the work product of three intelligence agencies, not just one. these intelligence agencies checked over this work in a painstaking fashion, precisely because we didn't want any ambiguity about what exactly was going on there, and i think that the response that you saw today indicates the degree to which this intelligence is solid, an indicates the degree to which iran was constructing an enrichment facility that it had not declared, contrary to u.n. resolutions an contrary to the rules governing the iaea. in terms of meeting, i have said repeatedly that we're going to operate on two tracks, that our preferred method of action is diplomatic, but if that does not work, then other consequences may follow. i also said, and this was debated extensively here in the united states, because there were some who suggested, you know, you can't talk to iran, so what's the point? that my keeping the path of of diplomacy open, that would actually strengthen world unity and our collective efforts to then hold iran accountable, and i think you're starting to see the product of that strategy unfold during the course of this week. what we saw at the united nations, in the security council, was a strong affirmation of the principles of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and as a consequence, the iaea is strengthened, and those countries who follow the rules are strengthened when it comes to dealing with countries like north korea and iran that don't follow the rules, and that means that when we find that the diplomacy does not work, we will be in a much stronger position to, for example, apply sanctions, that have bite. now, as i said, that's not the preferred course of action. i would love nothing more than to see iran choose the responsible path. whether they do so or not will ultimately depend on their leaders, and they will have the next few weeks to show to the world which path they want to travel. i'm going to take one last question. i got to call on one of these guys. they're my constituency here. chip. >> thank you, mr. president. you just mentioned sanctions that have bite. what kinds of sanctions, and i know you can't get into details but what kinds of sanctions at all would have bite with iran? do you think any kind of sanctions would have any effect with somebody like ahmadinejad? and secondly, some of your advisors today said this announcement was a, quote, victory, and do you consider it a victory, and if so, why didn't you announce it earlier since you have known you were president elect? >> this isn't a football game, so i'm not interested in victory. i'm interested in resolving the problem. the problem is that iran repeatedly says that it's pursuing nuclear energy only for peaceful purposes and its actions contradict its words. as a consequence, the region is more insecure, and vital u.s. interests are threatened. my job is to try to solve that. >> president barack obama speaking to reporters at the g20 summit taking place in pittsburgh. for more on this story, we can see more on "special report" with bret baier, but now let's urn to the glenn beck program already in progress. glenn: today we're spending an hour with moms, and we could spend probably two, three, four hours with you guys. will you come back? we'd love to have you. [applause] one of the last points, and believe me, there were 40 pages, 40 pages when we asked what is it that you're concerned about? 40 pages! they returned withs these as the top three. the last one is killing our children's future. what does our future look like? kerry, we were talking during the break. what is your concern? >> i have been concerned when they passed that bill defunding acorn and also to have the federal acorn take over all of the student loans. how do we know now that they're not going to direct our children into professions that they think that they should be taking that they're lacking, not something that our kids want to go into, but something they're being forced into or they won't get a loan? with the economy the way it is, we're not all going to be able to pay for our kids' education. we need student loans. >> another thing that is outrageous is how big government is marrying the corporations and selling us down the river, like the cap and trade they're trying to pass. corporations are lobbying for legislation. it is a job killer. it is going to raise energy prices and going to kill the economy. how is that help helping america? glenn: does anybody know when lobbyists started? does anybody know this? it was actually -- it wasn't f.d.r. but it was the first guy came in during the wilson administration. he was a guy, one of the first real big nasty progressives, and he said we have this big war going on and i have to move to washington to represent some of the companies there. after the war was over, he was, like, gee, there is a lot of money to be made here, and it was in the 1930's during the new deal that everything cranked back up. that's why who really feels like you really have someone in washington representing you? >> i do. glenn: you do? well, he is unfortunately, not my direct representative, but there is only one person representing, i think, everybody, in terms of holding up the oath of the constitution. >> who is that? >> congressman ron paul. he started the tea parties and what he has done for our country is amazing. glenn: well, there's one! there's one. kelly, go ahead first, and then we'll go to kelly. oh, go ahead, kelly. >> we have on our concerneds and i'm glad we're getting together and fighting back, but i feel like the more we fight back, the more the government is fighting back in our direction. i chose to home school my kids because i don't want them being indoctrinated and i don't want to vaccinate even on the government's schedule and the government feels losing control and they say well, you can home school, but you have to teach this curriculum, you still have to teach the pro homosexual tolerance agenda and you still have to vaccinate because your kids are going out in public. it is one of those things, what can we do if the more we fight and stand on our personal rights to say, ok, my family, i i will do things my way instead of your way and they take those things away. glenn: how many people went to a town hall? i will tell you something. i had somebody in the media, a media person that will remain nameless tell me that they work at the newspaper, and they have been covering all these town halls, and they have never seen anything like it before, and they're actually on the side of the people who are going to these meetings and holding the feet to the fire, but the politicians, they think they're the best buddies of the guy from the newspaper and he said don't ever say my name, because they all think i'm on their side, but they're all telling me this will go away. these people will stop showing up. i don't think so. i don't think so. real outrage from real people who just want their country back. >> that's right! glenn: tonight we're talking to the people that the media would like you to believe are terrorists and radicals and out of control and killers and you name it. crazy people. people who are just standing up for their communities and saying enough is enough. tonight, it is just moms, moms that are concerned. who is in their comfort zone, or would have said a year ago, i'm comfortable doing these things? yeah, none of them. linda, you were saying in the break -- >> i was saying that this isn't going to go away, because now when i call my family and friends and we discuss what is going on, all we do is discuss this. a year ago, we used to talk about what was the new fashions, what was the best movie that was out, who was going to win the academy award. that is all gone. glenn: is anybody frustrated by those people now? because i will run into those people -- good god, you're talking about that? nancy. >> on a positive note, i have to say that i felt completely alone, and especially the woman from engelwood. i come from new york, a very liberal area. i was totally closeted. no one knew what i thought. i went to a tea party not knowing a single person and i walked on two separate occasions right into other moms that i know, our kids are in the same class. neither of us had the slightest ing inkling that they felt the same way, because we were all closeted. now we have the sisterhood of mommy patrons. you're not alone! for anyone out there who wants to help, get yourself to a tea party and party on. you are not alone! glenn: you came from your family from vince gnat ti. >> we did. we drove -- we drove from cincinnati. we left last night. we drove in the car and it's because we're so concerned about our children and so upset and angry about what is happening to our country. i'm an assistant organizer with the cincinnati 9/12 project, and i have never done anything like this in my life. this is a first for me. glenn: are you guys all teaching your children to keep journals, keep a diary? i tell my kids that every day, write in your journal. white a diary. you are not only living in historic times, you are part of history r it's amazing. >> to try and get everybody closer, it is the same thing. we never did anything like this, because we felt we were the minority, and we were scared to even speak up, and like when we would go to school, you know, and say something we didn't like, that the school would do, they felt like they labeled us, and i felt that we couldn't say anything, because then our kids would be targeted, but now i don't fear doing that, and i was reading your "real america" book and i had a great thought when you talked about communities and your neighborhoods, and i just -- the school starts, and a woman two doors down, she has lived there six years and i never knew her name and now i know her name and we talk at the bus stop. i'm doing my neighborhood, i want to do a block party so everyone gets to know each other and get back to how it was when i was younger. glenn: let's get a show of hands. how many think that the real solution in our country is if things -- let me rephrase it. let me start here. how many of you are willing for lose absolutely everything, start all over, live at the bottom of the barrel if there's freedom at end of it for our children? how many people here -- how many people here are looking at the government and saying the government can solve the problem, or is it -- well, how many people think the government can solve the problem? the government is the problem. how many believe that their own community and neighborhood is the solution?
