Thread: Senator Jeff Sessions On Glenn Beck Tonight

He is on just before the half hour.


What a man!

Thanks Gogo. I'll try to catch that when it airs here locally.

Jeff Sessions...

Glenn's on now.!

..don’t forget Glenn Beck [TV] at 4p, 6p, 9p, & 2a PT/7p, 9p, 12a, & 5a ET ..

Since CNN plays both Lou and Glenn’s premiere shows at the same time, I always watch Lou first, then watch Glenn’s show on at least one or more of his 4 re-broadcasts.

But I don’t get it re why Glenn has FOUR rebroadcasts, [I'm NOT complaining..! ] ..but Lou has just ONE time slot, and his rebroadcast MIGHT be repeated..

..if the price of rice in China is stable..!

Interview on right now - 6:24pm PT.

I'll summarize some comments.

Harry Reid - Commented on pushback by these senators efforts.

By Reid:

"Don't want to have to vote on bills in an election year."
"I know what your agenda is"

Glenn asking about Blue Dog Dems and their efforts in this too -

"Do you have enough of them on board to get some of these through..."

Sessions:

"Yes. But th problem is that the opposed people will manipulate the process
so that main provisions will not make it through into law. "

Thanks for the report Phred. If there is anything else of note, please post.

I wish we could be voting for Senator Sessions to be our next president.

He's so honest with us, and he treats us with respect. When I see or hear him, I know that we're getting the real deal, the truth from someone who is sincerely concerned not only about our welfare, but our feelings and opinions and the experiences we're having in our country.

I wouldn't even call him a politician. He's an honest and very hard-working American man who truly represents the people.

Which is why he should be running for president if things were as they should be for the American people.

So true, Legal, so true (and that compliment from someone that was a registered Democrat most of my life, now for the last 6-7 years, an Independent). At least with him, you know he is 'the real deal'. No hypocrisy, no rule tweaking, and he knows who he works for - a pretty rare find in DC to be sure...

I can't remember who coined a great quote which addresses what you describe here, but it goes like:

"It's too bad the best qualified people aren't in DC running the government; because they're driving a cab, <insert blue-collar profession of your choice>, or... etc" (ok, you see the idea...)... Or, stated another way, sometimes, the best Presidents are the ones that never initially appeared on the radar to begin with - or never sought out the position.

There are very few like Sessions who truly believes he is the peoples "servant." He is there to serve the American people.

BECK: You know what`s surprising? One thing nobody`s talking about in the election is illegal immigration. And it is so out of control in this country it makes blood shoot out of my eyes, because it`s so easy to fix.

It is costing our border states millions every year. They need help. They ain`t getting anything from Washington. There is a group of Republican senators that have responded with a series of bills that address a host of issues.

Listen to how crazy these things are. Completing the border fence is one thing they`d like to do. Establishing English as a national language. I mean, I`d sure like to be the Balkans, why don`t we give this a whirl? Doing away with sanctuary cities and banning driver`s license to illegals. I know, boy, just a bunch of hate-mongering stuff there.

You believe in it. I believe in it. But these days, we`re in short supply of politicians who actually say what they mean and mean what they say.

One exception is Senator Jeff Sessions. He`s a Republican from Alabama.

Hello, Senator. How are you, sir?

SEN. JEFF SESSIONS: I`m doing well, Glenn. Good to be with you.

BECK: Good. Tell me -- tell me the highlights that I might have missed in this bill, because this is pretty comprehensive bill.

SESSIONS: Fifteen bills were announced by 12 senators. Each one of them will close an existing gap in our border security.

And you are so right, Glenn. This is achievable. It`s doable. It`s not going to bankrupt the country at all. We simply need to have Congress on board, and an executive branch willing to follow through. And so it`s not surprising, I guess, that the Majority Leader Reid pushed back at us this morning, and he kind of sniffed at the fact that we held a press conference to announce this legislation, and said he knew what our agenda was and he hoped the American people would.

What he was really saying was, he does not want to have to vote on these bills in an election year. I think it`s more helpful for the American people before an election to see how their senators are standing on these issues.

BECK: Senator, what does he mean, what your agenda was? I mean, these are fix-the-border issues. What is the agenda that he was alluding to?

SESSIONS: He`s talking about politics. He`s speaking with an inside- the-beltway mentality, that it`s some how improper for a group of people that want to see lawfulness brought into the system, to bring up these bills and actually seek a vote, when it might impact somebody`s re-election ability.

BECK: That doesn`t even make any sense. Because these are the people that keep telling us that this is wildly unpopular. It`s only about racism, and you`ll be exposed as a racist. So how could he possibly make that? According to his own theory, and the Democrats` theory, this would be the last thing that, if you are trying to play politics, you would do.

Let me ask you this question. You`ve got a bunch of Blue Dog Democrats that are also proposing different bills to get things done. Do you have enough Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats to have any kind of common sense actually come through?

SESSIONS: Yes, we do. The answer is, it`s plenty of Senators and plenty of House members that can agree on a host of very important bills. Now, the problem is, the group I call the masters of the universe, you know, the people that think they know better than the rest of us.

BECK: Yes, sure.

SESSIONS: They will manipulate it so it may pass one house but not the other one. May pass and doesn`t get funded. And we`ve had this kind of frustration. So, the net result has been politicians can say, I voted for these bills, but they never become law and never become effective. And I think that`s why people are upset with Congress.

BECK: Senator, thank you very much.
