Video: Shepard Smith goofs on Glenn Beck

Good-natured ribbing — or is it? The segment ends cordially enough, with the two sharing a laugh, but Shep’s never had much patience for right-wing alarmism and Beck, after all, is the current gold standard in it. Is there more to this needling than meets the eye? I’m intrigued that even Wallace feels compelled to call him out.
To Beck’s credit, at least he’s got a sense of humor about it. Click the image to watch.

In what way did my comment suggest that I’m secretly Glenn Beck? Again, get a life. Pathetic.
amerpundit on March 13, 2009 at 8:22 PM
Now that’s funny, I don’t care who you are!
Although, if he was talking about our troops, I’ll admit that is one of two things (the other being my kids) that will bring a tear to my eyes.
Give you an example, walking through Publix (grocery store chain here in Florida), my 4-year old (at the time) daughter saw a colonel, in combat fatigues, picking out a dinner from the frozen foods section. She walks over to him and says very clearly, “Thank you for protecting us with your life”. At first the officer seemed stunned, as if he thought someone were playing a joke on him, but when she smiled up at him, he said, “Sweet little girls like you make it all worth it, honey.”
I got teary eyed in a flash…just writing this its making me choke up. Daddy was so proud of his little girl.

What is Shep complaining about now?
Shep should be thankful that he has a 5-year / $25-million contract.
SCOOPTHIScarlos on March 13, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Shep is a whiny adrenalin junkie. Beck is a uniter.

Beck see his country going to shit morally, fiscally, and he gets ridiculed for being emotional about it by some who believe it’s macho to not show your feelings. Who should we feel really sorry for?
Shepard Smith wrote the book on how to be stupid. The man’s a total idiot that can read from a teleprompter as good as the One.
Rovin on March 13, 2009 at 8:28 PM
This is an interesting thread- it makes me think that not many of you have had any experience with hard core alcoholics who’ve lost everything and had to drag themselves back up from the gutter. I think it tends to make one a little more emotional and reverential to what they value in life. I don’t see Glenn Beck’s show very often but I know he’s sincere in what he does. It’s pitiful to see all this ” Man up ” crap.
anniekc on March 13, 2009 at 8:29 PM
That is a good kid.
Jim Treacher on March 13, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Annie,
Not that I’m piling on the “Man up” bandwagon, but I’ve got “hard core” alcoholics in my family, lost everything they had (when someone puts a gun in their mouth in front of their kids, you know its going bad). They seem as detached as ever, and cynical too, although in these times who can blame them? Now cancer survivors, that’s a whole different story, they got that “magic” of life in them!
Geministorm on March 13, 2009 at 8:34 PM
Yeah, but has Beck ever been profiled in Esquire? (These are the things we’re supposed to care about, see.)
Jim Treacher on March 13, 2009 at 8:36 PM
I watched it and got a little misty-eyed myself. Some of us love our country and want what’s best for its people, others just start controversy and watch blog stats.
Glenn’s a good guy who understands that our problems are deeper than political gamesmanship, it’s about…awww nevermind, you wouldn’t get it, AP.
pugwriter on March 13, 2009 at 8:37 PM
Maybe you would find his breath to be sweeter than an Irish rose
I’m sure you’d fall in love if he would cross your path
La, yes, if you could overlook the tears upon his nose
And possibly persuade him he that he wasn’t too much of a survivalist to take a bath
PercyB on March 13, 2009 at 8:40 PM
Bash Beck’s personality and mannerisms all you want.
It doesn’t change the fact that the man (who is far from a financial genius) was warning about the coming economic and monetary problems (of which the events of the last 6 months are only tip of the iceberg) for years — all the while being called an extremist kook.
Beck is one of the few media hosts on radio or TV who is presenting his audience with strategic perspectives, not just tactical ones (Jason Lewis out of Minnesota is pretty strategic also).
Rush and Hannity and Ingraham and the other conservative radio hosts out there do some fantastic work. But the majority of them that I’m aware of operate almost entirely on a topical timeline of days, weeks, or (occasionally) months. Websites like Hot Air largely fit into this mold.
Beck’s focus has (over the past decade) increasingly been on principles, history, and emerging trends, with a timeline that is thus measuring in months, years, or (occasionally) decades.
Both Beck and Rush & Co. are important, providing two different services, two different vital perspectives: the tactical and the strategic. To neglect either is at your own peril.

Conservative_SAHM on March 13, 2009 at 8:45 PM
Annie & Geministorm
Everyone is different in recovery, but I can tell you that many who have been through really frightening life & death things–like hard core alcoholism, cancer, or the suicide or sudden death of someone very close–often get very emotional when the value of life is being taken so for granted. Much like… well, this board today. I’m disappointed. I really am.
Here we have a man who is fighting for his country. Okay, he may not be fighting the way you would fight or the way somebody over there would fight, but he’s doing SOMETHING. I’m getting really, REALLY tired of all these people that say, “oh, the tea parties they’ll never go anywhere,” “Oh, Cramer (or Hannity, or Rush, or whoever the pinata of the day happens to be) is (fill in the insult)” as we sit at our little computers DOING NOTHING to make the situation any better.
After having read this thread, I now KNOW why our country is in the shape it’s in. When people who AGREE with everything Beck said today… that we’re in deep trouble, that we’re going the wrong direction, that something HAS to be done or we’re facing a depression, civil war, an invasion from the drug cartels of Mexico, or a “real” international crisis… And you people are too busy running the guy down who’s actually suggesting we get together and DO something about it…?!!!!!
Sorry. If we’re going to act like we’re four, making fun of a guy for shedding some tears, then we don’t deserve the country we’ve got, and although I will be really, REALLY heartwrenchingly sad to see it go, with this attitude toward each other, we don’t have a prayer of pulling out of this death spiral.
UnderstandingisPower on March 13, 2009 at 8:46 PM
Here is an exchange with two Fox celebrities:
“Thankfully Bill O’Reilly was around to act as the voice of reason and observe that spree killing seem more related to mental illness than to political disagreement.”
Wow.

Ohhhhhh Allah HATES it when REAL Conservatives draw BIG CROWDS – It sort’a makes his ‘we MUST all be PC and kiss up to the libs’ philosophy look weak.

And I find it rather comical that Hot Air’s resident evolutionarily-unfit beta-male would mock a guy who has (a) a net worth that’s measured in the tens of millions, (b) sired three children and adopted a fourth, (c) an attractive blonde wife.
Oh, and if PercyB insists on commenting in rhyme, I insist that s/he use either the Bard’s iambic pentameter or Chuck D’s unstoppable flow. Short of that: pick a more prosaic gimmick.

Also, I respect what he is trying to do, but everytime he mentions the “9 Principles and the 12 values” I feel like I’m supposed to be buying something.
Glenn Jericho on March 13, 2009 at 8:57 PM
My favorite Shep moment, and we all have them, his weeping and wringing of hands during Katrina. “gb hates black people”.
But the ice storms (18 died), 700,000 Kentuckians without power…shep, no big deal….o had his conga line…….
nondhimmie on March 13, 2009 at 8:58 PM
Being a gloom & doom merchant is not good if there is nothing to be gloomy and doomy about. But right now, Glen Beck is batting 1.000%. As a matter of fact, it’s hard not to be right when predicting bad things for this country.
keep the change on March 13, 2009 at 9:02 PM
I heart Glenn Beck AND his chins!
Shep’s brain has been baked since he started spouting off on that stinkin’ bridge in the middle of New Orleans. He blamed the wrong people. Most intelligent, normal people know that when a big storm is coming, you leave. Even the pigeons bolted before Katrina.
HornetSting on March 13, 2009 at 9:02 PM
If that’s true, Murdoch is balls-ass stupid!
Go Glenn.
Western_Civ on March 13, 2009 at 9:02 PM
Bravo, Chris. Well done.
A little of Shep goes a long way for me. Longer and longer every day, it seems.
I have to wonder if FNC might consider swapping out Shep’s time slot for Glenn’s show. How would Beck at 7:00 work?
petefrt on March 13, 2009 at 9:04 PM
Double wow, just watched the Johnny Dollar clip. Shep is really bad at pretending he’s just kidding about a potential threat.
Jim Treacher on March 13, 2009 at 9:05 PM
Ha! I’m watching the Glenn Beck “We surround them” special and he just said….
“I have to apologize because I think I am turning in to Tammy Faye Baker”
LOL
That’s an example of why people like him so much. He keeps it real. yo.
DWB on March 13, 2009 at 9:07 PM
I’m glad Glenns’ on Fox to bad they didn’t just trade Shep and Whorealdo to CNN for him.
dhunter on March 13, 2009 at 9:08 PM
If Beck were simply predicting generic “bad things” that’d be true. But he’s rather specific about the bad things he’s warning about.
For the last two years he’s been going off about a coming economic collapse, how the economy’s foundations were rice paper. And he was ridiculed for it, derided, and ignored by lots of folks who thought him a weird extremist.
But that didn’t make him less right.
Harpazo on March 13, 2009 at 9:08 PM
I’ll stick up for Shep Smith.
I think he is a good guy.May be he leans a little left sometimes but so what.
Fox News is about “fair and balanced” now isn’t it…?
My two favorite memories of Shep Smith were during hurricane Katrina.The first one was where he was standing on a balcony with his hat on backwards drunk to the wind giving his report from Bourbon St.
The second time was when he was standing on a bridge overpass with a hundred or more people who had no food or water and he gave their EXACT LOCATION on live T.V. and said “What the hell… where is everybody.”
I like the guy.
I don’t want blind idealogues.
I want honesty.
NeoKong on March 13, 2009 at 9:08 PM
I sometimes wonder about Shep. He’s snippy, but I like him.

One doesn’t have to look very far in history at the times when the general population revolted against their own government and all rational thinking went out the door. When government continues to say…let them eat cake…and have rules that everyone but them have to live by, the more people sharpen their pitch forks, and that is what Glenn is saying. He is not saying…get out the pitch forks, its time to riot. But you are such a tool, its no wonder you missed that.
Conservative Voice on March 13, 2009 at 9:13 PM
That was pretty funny – I loved how serious Chris Wallace was… but Shep was not begrudging Glenn’s success, he was mocking it.
Queen0fCups on March 13, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Glenn, like I was born in 1964. The last year of the Baby Boomers. He realizes that we are the generation that will have to fix everything that the older bastards completely and utterly messed up.

———————————————-
Very true, there will be a lot of jockeying for position and probably a couple of Fox News stars who are feeling somewhat threatened. The thing is that Glenn is goofy and endearing and is willing to look at both sides of the aisle and see that one party isn’t that much better than the other. They all need to go. Every last one of them and then we need to start over and put term limits in.
shomegirl on March 13, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Agreed. I think Glenn Beck’s defense against going back to drinking and using is to lay it all out there for the world to see. His sarcasm, cynicism, joy, sadness, frustration, etc. is worn equally on his sleeve. I think that makes it almost impossible for him to lie.
I spent the first few weeks of listening to Glenn Beck in October, 2001 wondering if all of that was for real. I don’t doubt it now.

As a person who took their last drink 13 years ago and who nearly lost it all too, believe me, you realize how precious life, freedom, liberty, etc. is. And if Glenn sheds a few tears it’s because of genuine sincerity and love for this country.

You might, or more likely would not be it would appear, be interested in knowing, that as of a couple of years ago, there were 112 living recipients of the Medal of Honor and 60 of them were awarded for actions in Vietnam, according to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. So far, in this generation, I believe, there have been something like 3 or 4, and Beck, as far as I know, has never even been in the military for even a day. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Or anything wrong with being gay, of course!

I should have been more clear…don’t have a problem with gay people, totally love our military. I just don’t like it that the people that decided that the only way to live was to have no morality (free love, etc.), abuse drugs, etc. hijacked our country by infiltrating our schools and our justice system. I’m not saying my generation was infallible, I just think that a lot of us saw the excesses of those older than us and got a strong dose of reality.

Approval, madame, in my opinion, demands the attainment of perfection. And in that sense, you rather overrate the charms of your generation. I’faith, for one thing, it does seem monstrous ill-dressed for any generation, even a self centered one.
PercyB on March 13, 2009 at 9:53 PM
That’s wonderful. There were a great many selfless heroes (most of their names are etched in granite in DC) in a much-maligned and thankless conflict. God bless them all.
That said, the military greatness of the Baby Boomer generation must be weighed against its destructive effect on American society, politics, and economy. As the child of early Baby Boomer parents, it is my generation and those that follow who will be forced the shoulder the greatest share of the burden that the Boomers will bequeath us.

Not bitter. I just have a low tolerance — and thus high standards — for gimmicks. If you’re gonna have one, it had better be good, else it will be merely tedious.
My initial comments directed toward you weren’t hostile, merely playful, as the PE reference should have indicated. But your subsequent suggestion that I didn’t understand something as basic as poetry was insulting. Hence the less than cordial tone.
In any case, it appears you’re having some success with the iambic pentameter but not fully yet. Perhaps you’d like to give the Chuck D a shot?

Oops, never mind. I was wrong. One poll from Wednesday says 65%. I’m not sure who they’re polling that makes the difference.

I think you rather overrate your standards, and in any case, my dear chap, this is no trial and you are no judge, and.you clearly are bitter, very bitter, indeed, no sense your denying it. In any case my choosen poems are from facts and observations, and not to suit anybody but myself. If you don’t like said poems, it makes little difference as they are not meant to solicit your royal approval.

Beck will rule fox. His stance is very conservative, but his personal demeanor is much more enjoyable than O’reilly’s, Coulter’s or Limbaugh’s. Watch the way he disarms Smith with his wit and charm at the end of the video. Beck is very Charismatic and if I were the left he is the man I would be watching.

Shep is a beta-boy!

Beck will over take bill the schill soon, I think.

Beck’s show needs to be moved up to a later hour.
Switch out Shep and replace that show with Beck.
I wish Glenn was on at 6:00pm EST.

Oh, good grief.

I think they just need to but Brett B at 5p, Shep at 6p, Beck at 7p.

That’s what he’s worried about.

I think when Beck was at CNN, some people at Fox underestimated his following. I have been listening to him since March of 2002. Love the man, drives me nutso sometimes, but he has proven to me that he knows of what he speaks.

I came across Beck in ‘03 when I got xm radio. His main draw as I see it is that his agenda is an American agenda. That is why R’s and D’s have a problem with him, but conservatives enjoy him. Levin can’t stand him and derides him often without actually calling him out by name.

True dat. He lays out what he thinks and why he thinks it and supports his reasoning with sold facts. He occassionally gets Ben Franklin Quotes wrong but his heart is in the right place.
.
I enjoy his humor.

Not a Beck fan so I haven’t watched his show. I used to catch him on the radio and his voice had that effect on me like nails on chalkboard. I’m not saying he did, but his voice did and still does that to me.

Beck eats at Levin’s brain. It cracks me up when Levin goes on a Beck rant. Oh to see them in the same room someday and watch Levin freak the hell out when beck tries to give leving a teary hug.
