Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at Mercury Radio Arts? Just how do all of Glenn’s crazy ideas get done? Does anyone ever get a chance to sleep? Well, over the next few months we are going to take you inside MRA, giving you the inside scoop on everything from publishing to special events, 1791 to Markdown to GBTV. We will be interviewing members of our New York, Columbus, and Dallas staff, bringing you all the info, so you can know what it’s really like to work for Glenn. Part 1 (Kevin Balfe – Publishing), Part 2 (Liz Julis – GBTV/Special Events), Part 3 (Joel Cheatwood: CCO & President of TheBlaze), Part 4 (Eric Pearce: VP, TV Operation of TheBlaze), Part 5 (Michelle Vanderhoff Network Operations Manager at TheBlaze)

In the wake of what proved to be a truly historic week of service and charity, we sat down with Glenn to get his thoughts on how Restoring Love completes the Restoring trilogy he began two years ago in Washington D.C., how he feels coming out of this remarkable chapter of his life, and what comes next.
Standing just outside the 50 yard line of Dallas Cowboys Stadium waiting to walk out in front of the tens of thousands of people who had gathered to hear him deliver what may have been the best event of his career, Glenn remembers exactly how he felt. “I felt like a caged animal,” he recalled.
Three years of remarkable events culminated in a historic week that celebrated service, freedom, and, most importantly, love. Glenn had a very busy week – attending events like FreePac and Under God: Indivisible, while over 30,000 volunteers from around the world descended on north Texas to serve 305 organizations in the Dallas area. For three years Glenn has been telling his audience to stand where God tells them to stand, and last week it looked like future of America was with the thousands who had chosen to come and stand beside him in Texas.
The idea for Restoring Love came to Glenn just a few days after Restoring Courage. He flew from Israel to South Africa to give a speech to religious leaders. In the short time he was in South Africa, he saw firsthand the poverty that continues to exist in the country. He thought of Nelson Mandela, and the situation he found himself in just a few decades before. Mandela could have called for a bloody revolution, but instead he pleaded with people and politicians from all backgrounds and ideologies to choose love. Glenn, who wears a bracelet with Mandela’s prison number inscribed on his wrist, knew then and there that his next event would have to capture that same spirit.
Like Restoring Honor and Restoring Courage before it, Glenn said he knew that Restoring Love was going to center around God, only this time the theme would call for us to stand together and serve one another.
“The line that I wrote about three weeks ago that I knew would be the biggest line of the speech – ‘Witness the Third Great Awakening’ – is absolutely true,” he said. “That may have been the message of look, if you put God back in his place, and you are serving people, and you are speaking without fear, He will come.”
The Restoring Love weekend had an incredible kickoff with Thursday night’s FreePac event at American Airlines Arena. Conservative leaders from around the globe came together with one message in mind: it is time for us to stand up to the establishment. Glenn’s speech had a similar tone – he read Rudyard Kipling’s “The Gods of the Copybook Headings” and told the crowd that they were putting not only Washington, but the world, on notice.
“Here’s what I want you to know,” Glenn said to those gathered at the arena. “I believe this is the largest gathering of independent-minded conservatives ever in the history of America. I believe that tomorrow with over 30,000 volunteers doing service in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex it is the largest collection of volunteers doing service ever in America. And I hear there are a few people coming to the stadium as well. This should freak out the people in power, not only in Washington, but all around the world.”
The problems we are facing are not ones that political parties can fix, but they are problems that faith in God and strongly rooted principles will fix. “America is great because America is good,” Glenn said.
Following the historic Day of Service on Friday, Glenn attended a gathering of religious leaders that night at High Point Church – the perfect capstone to an incredible day. The meeting called for people of faith to find common ground in order to address the challenges that face us as a nation.
“At the religious event I had no idea what I was going to say,” Glenn explained. “I just prayed in the car on the way over, ‘Ok, tell me what you want me to say.’ And I walked up there and knew exactly what to say. It was – I mean, I never speak for 10 minutes, but it was a 10 minute speech, and it was very good. I just know that God is with the nation, and He is not uninvolved.”
His speech that night was short and succinct, qualities not typical of a Glenn speech, but the message couldn’t have been clearer.
“Did you do what you were supposed to do,” Glenn asked the crowd during his speech. “Believe me. When the Lord comes, anyone who is pointing the finger at the other one is in trouble first. United we stand. Divided we fall.”
By the time Saturday arrived, it was clear that the event was going to be something special. Months of preparation had led to this moment, and as the clock winded down toward 8 o’clock, the energy in Cowboys Stadium was nothing short of electric.
“I think I said to the gospel choir because they were standing next to me like, ‘Come on. Let’s go,’” Glenn said. “I said, ‘You too?! I feel like a caged animal.’ I mean we had waited and waited and waited to go, so it like let’s go! You get yourself so heated up and ready to go and do it.”
After Alex Boye’s stirring National Anthem captivated the crowd, Glenn emerged onto the field in a moment that was nothing short of incredible. The audience erupted in cheers and leapt to its feet as Glenn made his way to the stage.
“There is nothing like being in the round at Dallas Cowboys Stadium,” Glenn said still sounding a little awestruck. “That is dangerous for the ego. I don’t recommend you let any politician ever do that because it will make them do anything for another sip of that feeling.”
The night just got better from there with Glenn intertwining music, history, and charity in ways it has never been done before, and he seems pleased with the results.
“For the first time of the three, I don’t feel like we didn’t say anything that we were supposed to say,” Glenn said. “You know, I worried after each one if we said what we were supposed to say. I am just filled with optimism after last week.”
Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium Glenn delivered what is arguably the greatest speech of his career, and tomorrow we will reveal just how the speech that took 14 drafts and nearly five months to perfect came to be.

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 4:26pmAm I the only one that is frustrated that Glenn is on vacation again this week? I signed up for GBTV last year before it even went on the air or internet or whatever a new network of this type is called. I did this because I am a huge fan of Glenn’s. I don’t really care for the other shows; I pay for the subscription to see Glenn. It is not really GBTV without GB. Does anyone else think this or is it just me?

This is a fledgling operation here…we are building it with the Beck brand and the protagonist needs a rest (Glenn). I was at Restoring Love and all the events and I can tell you I kept thinking, “LORD, how are they going to do all this??” I prayed for them. They pulled it off. I like that I got into the ground floor of purchasing and watching The Blaze (GBTV soon to be called the same). I have learned from what has been shared.

Posted on August 7, 2012 at 1:14amActually, I wish Glenn would go away more often. He provides great leadership to the network but I really think he has pretty much nailed his message, finally, and there’s a limit to how often you can say “It’s about God, Stupid” and not get boring.* I would like Glenn to switch to a longer-format, once-a-week (Saturday?) show where he can remind us all that “It’s about God, Stupid” and for the rest of the week use this great platform to give other freedom-loving conservatives a voice. It took me a long time to warm up to Real News because, while it is a great show for what it is, I am still waiting to see the Holmes Report, the Cain Hour, the Sexton Review, the Cupp Room, the Hallowell Show, the Loesch Show, the Wilkow Hour…(well, I guess we are getting the Wilkow hour finally which is awesome.) The most important thing any man who builds a business can do is to put himself out of a job – find or train others who can do it even better than he can. I don’t want Glenn to go away completely but _that_ is what he should be focused on at this stage.
* Although if someone would write Alex Boye a song called, “It’s about God, Stupid” he could just sing that nonstop all day every day and Glenn could retire completely. I would buy a lifetime membership for that.

Posted on August 7, 2012 at 3:47pmDana Loesch (sp?) did an EXCELLENT job on yesterday’s show, if you didn’t watch it go back and watch it. She needs her own hour, sign her up Glenn if she has the time!
Fact is I feel like I get a week’s worth of news in just one episode of Glenn, although I must admit I miss the two hour show format a bit.
The format I would like to see:
1 hour of Glenn, 1 hour of Real News, 1 hour of History or a rotating Guest Host Show, 1 hour fiction show of some sort (sitcom?), 1.5 hour late show with Brian Sack (ala the tonight show) (If Brian sack isn’t up for it TheBlaze can contact me, I can do this with my eye’s closed and hogtied).
Well, if I had my own network that’s how I would do it; but Glenn’s been doing a great job with this HUGE undertaking! Easier said than done as they say…

There is a difference between educating yourself about those who oppose you and vilifying them, but there is a difference.

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 6:10pmAre you really that slow? Performing charity at the local level gets people involved in their own communities. If there is abuse of the charity, the people will see it and stop providing it to the abusers. Getting people involved on this scale is helpful as some people really have no idea anymore of how to start. This gets them going.
Federal “charity” has little oversite so it is horribly abused.
If we don’t want our federal dollars used to do this work, you and I need to get involved in our communities to get it done.
When is the last time you got involved personally in local charity work?

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 3:24pmBTW: As an added note: If you’ve ever met Glenn Beck, AND I AM SURE YOU HAVE NOT SINCE WHAT YOU SAID IS A BIG LIE, you would find he has a VERY HUMBLE SPIRIT about him. He is sure of himself, but he has a very sweet spirit.
THIS IS WHY I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT and are
just trying to discredit Glenn. The people who know him are not only amazed at his energy, but also know that he is a very grateful and humble person who loves his fellow man/woman.
SO, TRY AGAIN BOZOS, GUESSING, which is what all you liberals do when you are not LYING.

Jealousy is always the beginning to your own demise….keep going……..
Usually people who are armchair critics, can’t base their comments on FACT.
Glenn doesn’t FORCE US TO SUPPORT HIM. We do it of our own free will, which you will
never understand because MARXISTS don’t like their sheeple having free will, do they?
You would know that very well.
If Glenn had nothing to offer, he would never have what he has.

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 2:14pmI wish Glenn Beck can get all his archived programs from Fox News published in DVD format as they were and are the most revealing of what the Progressives have done to this country and what we need to fight against to reclaim our country back.

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 2:43pmThey were the Best and will be archieved forever. Too bad for Fox, don‘t know what’s happening to them but we’re not enjoying or watching it much these days. I was so disappointed that they never had a mention of the Restoring Love event. Can you imagine if michelle o had organized anything like one trailer, how the media would be kissing her butt, then again.
Glenn will go down in history as having made a difference for good, unlike chis matthews, who will be remembered for protecting a corrupt administration and getting a thrill up his leg from a man….creepy

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 2:05pmI hope he finds more success in the future. We need more contribution to others and unity on free-market principles and individual charity.
For the non religious Libertarians who may not understand. The progressives who use the weak and poor as a tool by hooking them on government and tells them that we don’t care about them. This how we can show them the truth that we will and do help.
We can show them that we are the ones who are really on their side using our own money not government hand outs.
If we have a working relationship with the progressive’s enslaved voting block helping them then they can see how supposedly hateful, racist,bigoted etc we really are.

Do you wish to replace him or just tear him down so we have nobody speaking our languish.
Start you’re own programs and put him out of business if you think his message is off track instead trolling his site slandering his name.
You tactics don’t help ether. You are not and wont change anybody’s minds or hearts the way you attack. You’re only harding the hearts of the people who already dislike Beck and just making everyone else dislike you and whatever message you are trying to preach.
Most on here cant stand you not because of your believes or convections but how you go about expressing them by only attacking everyone else.

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 1:18pmI think the most telling quote, in context as it is presented in the article is:
“Did you do what you were supposed to do,” Glenn asked the crowd during his speech. “Believe me. When the Lord comes, anyone who is pointing the finger at the other one is in trouble first. United we stand. Divided we fall.”
Mr. Beck is calling for his keys to unite in Defiance of God. He thinks we are absolved of our sins as long as we stand together.
