The Bold Fresh Tour…
If you haven’t seen them, it is worth the money!
The show was informative, entertaining and both O’Reilly and Beck show themselves in different light from their everyday persona on Fox; probably O’Reilly more that Beck. Both are funny and very serious at times.
O’Reilly highlighted his experience with Lupe Fiasco… a miscalculation by the left.
Obama, Haiti and the Bold & Fresh Tour

(Even some of the not so conservative are seeing the reality and speaking out)
"Glenn Beck and I are here on the Gulf Coast to do two sold-out Bold & Fresh shows. We knew when we signed on for the tour that creepy far-left people would be stalking us, and they are. After our first show, the loopy Media Matters rejoiced in saying that I had compared the South Side of Chicago to Haiti. Here's what I said: 'If you've ever been to the South Side of Chicago, it's a disaster. It's like Haiti. I support some charities there, but Haiti just never gets better, no matter how much money you put in there ... but Obama really believes the government can do it.' Those comments deeply offend far-left kool-aid drinkers, even though every word is true. For decades Chicago's South Side has been a pocket of poverty and brutality; Barack Obama's well aware of that because he worked there. An enormous amount of federal and state money has poured into the South Side, yet it remains a major problem. The situation directly parallels what's happened in Haiti - massive aid, few results. Self-reliance is the key to success in life; a nanny state chokes that. If the President and I have one area of disagreement, it is big government. I believe it can not solve problems, he believes it can level the playing field, at least somewhat. That hasn't happened on Chicago's South Side, has it?"
O’Reilly did a great job of reducing the healthcare debate down to a simple 3 point solution that would cost nothing, that many in the GOP including Scott Brown and the American people with common sense have suggested:
1. Letting the Free Market Work; allowing the insurance companies to sell insurance, including the Lizard (part of his shtick), and allowing the people to buy insurance across state line, in all 50-states.
2. Tort Reform – real tort reform like in England where the bringer of nuisance type suits are fined.
3. Clean-up the waste in Medicare, and Medicaid to cut the need to cut services or increase prices.
Beck did his interpretation of Biden and Pelosi sitting behind Obama at the State of the Union that people rolling in the aisles. A little clip of that below, begins at 6:16 of this segment.
“Many Are Called, Few Are Chosen...” In a serious note, Beck talked about being called to be the trumpeter or bell ringer and he has carried that load for quite some time, especially the past couple of years. He says that for the first time in a long time he is feeling relieved and sleeping better because he sees the American People waking up.
On a final note…
President Obama headed down to Florida at the end of the week after delivering the State of the Union. Guess they didn’t plan ahead… They called down to the Sun Dome in Tampa to schedule an event for Friday night; thought he needed a big place. When they called there, they were told sorry, but the arena was booked and sold out by the O’Reilly-Beck Bold Fresh Tour. Wouldn’t you have wanted to have been a fly on that wall?!? ;-)
Then to add injury to insult, Obama had less than 3,000 people at his event… if you add in the 1000 protestors outside. Seated inside they had 2,000 O’Reilly and Beck at 16,000.
Maybe “O” should have just stayed home after that because now he has this to explain…
Fox News hosts give a voice to frustrated
TAMPA - When Fox News Channel hosts Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck took the stage at the University of South Florida Sun Dome on Friday, they received standing ovations, applause and cheers befitting rock stars.
Their main topics, President Barack Obama and his policies, got boos.
The audience of about 8,000 at both shows savored every chance to voice their displeasure with Obama while hanging on every word from the two pundits at the forefront of the conservative movement.
The "O'Reilly/Beck Bold & Fresh Tour" was designed to be a live extension of both hosts' television shows, sprinkled with routines of stand-up comedy.
Beck appeared first to raucous applause. He wasted no time commenting on Obama's town hall meeting at the University of Tampa on Thursday.
"Two thousand people showed up for the president," Beck said. "He had 1,000 inside, and the other 1,000 were protesters."
Shouts sprang from the Sun Dome crowd, a mostly white, but not all, audience ranging in age from elementary school children with their parents to the elderly.
"What I really like about Obama," Beck continued, only to be cut off by a man who yelled, "Nothing!"
Beck smiled and finished: "It's his deep sense of humility. He is truly a piece of ... work."
As he took his shots at Obama and big government, Beck interspersed anecdotes about his family life: how fast his daughter is growing up, how he and his children got into a Nerf gunfight over the holidays.
After about 45 minutes, it was O'Reilly's turn.
With the crowd on its feet as soon as he appeared, O'Reilly immediately mentioned Sami Al-Arian, the former USF professor who pleaded guilty in 2006 to aiding terrorists.
"I remember Sami," O'Reilly said. "I got him in trouble. I kind of felt bad. He was a nice-looking little guy."
Applause rang out when he referred to Chicago's south side, where Obama once was a community activist, and how that part of the city was like Haiti.
"We keep pumping money into it, and nothing happens," O'Reilly said.
The host of "The O'Reilly Factor" said he doesn't dislike the president.
"There's a philosophical difference between Obama and me," O'Reilly said. "And it's interesting to see how the country has turned on Obama."
The turning point, O'Reilly said, was Obama's "health care thing."
"Regulate the ones we have," O'Reilly said of existing insurance companies. "Let them compete in all 50 states. Have you tried to renew your driver's license lately? I don't want those people selling me insurance."
O'Reilly and Beck give a voice to a majority of Americans frustrated with big government but too skittish to speak up, said Evan Eastman, 19.
"What they're saying is relevant," said Eastman, a member of the USF College Republicans. "They're making people stop and think about today's policies."
There were a handful of protesters at the Sun Dome before the 4 p.m. show began.

The show ends with O’Reilly and Beck asking each other questions.

Glenn slaughters Arianna Huffington...BUT
Just like the last time Glenn said it, this slaughter wasn't a literal one. This time it was referring to the war of words and Glenn's words absolutely slaughtered Arianna's (not literally, Arianna). In perhaps one of the worst points brought up in the history of punditry, Huffington tried to accuse Glenn of inciting violence because he said the word 'slaughtered' in a monologue on the economy. Glenn tears apart (not literally, Arianna) the argument on radio this morning. ( Transcript, Insider Audio). (Video Below)
Just so Media Matters isn't confused, Joe Klein was not actually 'destroyed' by Bill O'Reilly. The two had a conversation and Klein did his best to humiliate himself. He tried to bash Glenn but tossed out accusations so ridiculous it clearly, CLEARLY proved Klein has no brain (yes, literally Joe). ( Transcript, Insider Audio)
Glenn Beck Fires Back at Huffington
Fox News host and best-selling author Glenn Beck fired back Monday against Huffington Post blogger Arianna Huffington's allegations that he is "inciting" Americans to violence, countering that such accusations are "completely ridiculous."
On the Sunday talk program ABC's This Week, Huffington asked Fox News CEO Roger Ailes if he were concerned that Beck "talks about people being slaughtered, about who is going to be the next in the killing spree.
Ailes replied that Beck was referring to massacres by Hitler and Stalin. But Huffington insisted: "No, no, he was talking about this administration."
Alies then said, "I think he speaks English. I don't know, but I mean, I don't misinterpret any of his words."
When Huffington continued on the attack, the top Fox News executive rattled off several examples of aspersions that Huffington had published about Ailes on her blog. "Then it really went nasty," Ailes said, "and I thought, 'Gee, maybe Arianna ought to cut this out,' but...."
In discussing Huffington's allegations on his radio program, Beck revealed that Huffington tried to recruit him last year to write for her Web site.
"Arianna Huffington, I would like you to explain this," Beck told listeners.
"The last time and the only time that I've ever seen you or spoken to you, you asked me to write for the Huffington Post and tried to convince me that it would be good, because you are so open minded and everything else.
"Now, were you trying to incite people, when you asked me to write for the Huffington Post? Or are you going to deny that? It was, I can tell you when it was. It was at the Time Most Influential 100 dinner last year when I was an absolute nobody. But I was on Fox News and I was saying the same stuff."
Beck and his team of on-air contributors suggested that Huffington had an ax to grind because he ignored her offer.
