Seven-Minute Slam: The Inside Story of Glenn Beck’s ‘Ambush’ on ‘The View’

NOTE: See 'Related Links' below for Glenn Beck's interview with The B-Cast's Scott Baker about the Seven-Minute Slam. Catch The B-Cast live weekdays at 4pm Eastern here.

"I didn't lie!"

During Glenn Beck's recent appearance on 'The View,' Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg focused the entire first segment on accusations that Beck had lied about what happened during a train trip they all took to the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Beck maintains that he didn't lie and has asked for an apology.

Breitbart.tv Co-Founder & Co-Host of 'The B-Cast' Scott Baker decided to sort through the allegations.

During his investigation, Scott uncovered new information about the request ABC made to Amtrak. He even received an e-mail from Whoopi Goldberg.

"Seven-Minute" Slam is a simple attempt (with the help of Pam Key at Naked Emperor News) to set the record straight about the allegations made on 'The View.'

Way to go Scott, Very good but I was disappointed with ABC, etc al, but really did not expect more from them but was hoping. Again, you need to host a Glenn/Babwa intervention.

stacy   June 2nd, 2009 - 11:47 pm

Great Scott! As a woman I am appalled that the View is still on the air. It represents the worst in woman. They are shrill, stupid, and will act like a flock of chickens at the drop of a hat.

Barbara and Whoopi have been living the entitled life for so long they have forgotten what it is like to get their seat on their own. They are out of touch with reality. Glen does deserve an apology for their gross behavior on the View. I think they should both go on Glen’s show one on one and explain how they were wrong.

dfs   June 2nd, 2009 - 11:59 pm

When I watched that I was thinking why is Glenn not being clear and to the point? It seemed kind of strange. Nevertheless they kept ambushing her with bogus krap. This video does a good job of exposing the truth. Way to go.

Tank   June 3rd, 2009 - 12:11 am

Barbara walters has had so many facelifts that she now has hair on her chin.

Whoopie looks like she can’t stay away from the soul food.

I can’t stand any of those hateful beeyotchs and elizabeth is such a wuss and unable to stand up to any of them.

WTG scott!

I thought you and Pam Key(?) did an outstanding job in showing that, while the view hosts may have been “unaware” of special treatment (sure),anyone that examines the treatment they received is treated with scorn.

My guess is that they. like most oligarchs, live in a completely isolated world from the peasants , insulated by the staffers and assistants that deal with the drudgery of real life that no longer soils their fingers.

Keep on speaking truth to power, sooner or later they will be exposed as the truly elite which may spark a backlash not seen for MANY years, and of course, will be fun to watch.

TimG.   June 3rd, 2009 - 1:15 am

Awesome job Scott & Co., well worth the wait. I’m betting that you will NEVER hear anything more from Whoopi (or anything at all from Barbara); it is much easier to throw around false accusation than to answer substantive question.

Kudos; and thanks! Keep up the great work.

duncan   June 3rd, 2009 - 1:17 am

Why did he go on that POS program in the first place?

Gandhi's Fist   June 3rd, 2009 - 1:18 am

Wow, actual reportage. It has been such a long time since I last saw some of this, I scarcely recognized it.

What is disturbing is how the liberal media elite, so-called champions of the common man, couldn’t be further from that alignment if they tried. They are pulling the wool over America’s eyes. It is they who wish to be pampered and privileged while supposing their lip service to the populous. Scum.

So, Scott has proven, the crones of the View are liars and hypocrites. Wish I could say I was surprised. Just the same, keep up the good work, encapsulated reports like this are quite effective, I’d really like to see more.

Fresh_Water   June 3rd, 2009 - 1:48 am

Wached the whole thing. It appears that Glenn Beck tried to speak about rational things with some escaped mental patients who ABC is putting on t.v.

Goldberg and Walters grow particularly more insane with every passing day. What is wrong with a network that they’d have these loony people on national t.v., competing with MSNBC/NBC/Olbermann to see who is most insane?

HC   June 3rd, 2009 - 4:02 am

Fantastic investigative reporting. Will link to Drudge. Thanks.

Dave, Tn   June 3rd, 2009 - 7:02 am

Ah take it easy on ABC. They did have a “feel good” program on last night. I only caught the first 45 minutes of the second hour though. Something about New York being flooded, breaking down into anarchy and returning to nature. Oh and they have Jake Tapper.

Typical of the View and that ilk.   June 3rd, 2009 - 7:13 am

Ahh yes “The View” the show that typifies debate in America.

No facts, ALL emotion. And well anyone with a brain knows how arbitrary emotions are.

Let’s face it debate is dead in America. Most moronic Americans think the winner of a debate is he or she who yells the loudest and doesn’t give the other person time to respond. Or worse, the winner is the one who has the wittiest “ghetto-esque” come back (i.e. “talk to the hand because the ears ain’t listen’in) Ooooo man! You got a sassy-snappy come back like that you don’t need facts to support your argument…YOU WIN!

Stupid Americans. I am almost ashamed to be one anymore.

Cyn   June 3rd, 2009 - 7:54 am

The View is a joke and quite insane. Nothing anyone should watch.

Toby   June 3rd, 2009 - 9:30 am

Excellent reporting Scott! Any conservative commentator who dares to accept an invite to this show should wear combat gear when appearing. They don’t stand a chance against those witches of eastwick (except for Elisabeth) who hate all who disagree with their views. Why Beck, O’Reilly, Hannity or any other conservative gives them the time of day is beyond me. Remember how horrible they were to the McCains during the primaries but kissed the @sses of the nobama’s when they were on. They’re disgracefull diva’s who think they’re better than all the rest of us….when in fact their small, hateful women who are so busy shouting at those they disagree with they only come across as arrogant, blathering bi#@h’s who don’t deserve a second of the airtime they’re given.

U NO HOO   June 3rd, 2009 - 10:18 am

I remember back during Monica’s 15 minutes of fame that Babawawa didn’t like to talk about fellatio.

Babs has been married several times and had an affair with a married man, do the term ADULTERESS ring a familiar tone?

Babs is a slut and doesn’t know it. Now she does. I just told her.

HMMMM, maybe she wanted to “Monica” Bill Clinton, she wanted to “Babawawa” Obama. It was on the View, you can look it up.

Ever notice how the “V” in the view logo looks just like a woman’s…never mind.

Jason   June 3rd, 2009 - 10:25 am

Good reporting, but honestly, at the end you should have pointed out that Whoopi and Walters were the ‘lying sacks of dog mess.’

Phil   June 3rd, 2009 - 10:33 am

Just listened to the interview you on the Glenn Beck show today… WELL DONE!!!!!

I watched the “View” interview and was appalled. It seems that Ms W has truly passed her prime and should have bowed out when she was on top of her game. As for Ms G, well I don’t expect much from her so was not shocked, but she is a good comedian. Ms B??? it is evident she is in WAY over her head so I just feel bad for her.. Ms H didn’t say much so not sure what to say.

Look the view is not big facts and never has been. It’s a gossip show and lives up to that moniker well. Just my opinion…

Karen Lachman   June 3rd, 2009 - 10:36 am

Great job on exposing the truth! I don’t watch the View but I did watch it the day Glenn was on b/c I wanted to see the interview. I was horrified after the first 7 minutes and didn’t watch the rest. I’m so glad you did this report and I’d love to see Glenn Beck get an apology but it will never happen.

Lindsey Wallen   June 3rd, 2009 - 10:36 am

Barbara owes Glenn a big apology. I am demanding it!

Lori   June 3rd, 2009 - 10:45 am

Thank-you for posting this video and exposing the truth.

Walters and Goldberg are what is wrong with America. Saving face and deflecting their “wrong” and not owning their “wrong.” How many of “us” can get a taxpayer “paid” escort and a seat reserved on the taxpayer funded Amtrak regardless of the ticket we purchased?

Walters, Goldberg are shameful and a disgrace to society in general. They are what is WRONG with America. ABC is the station of fools and arrogance.

Dave   June 3rd, 2009 - 10:47 am

Well done, sir!

Fozz   June 3rd, 2009 - 10:56 am

Good work Scott. These thrown-together hatchet jobs tend to roll off Glenn like water on a duck’s back. It’s amusing to see or hear people attack him as a partisan fearmonger too when, if you ever listen to him or watch him, you know he advocates unplugging from the two-party system and thinking independently.

U NO HOO   June 3rd, 2009 - 10:56 am

Open letter to Glenn Beck:

It appears that your appearance on the View was the correct thing to do. You are a sincere and honest person and can only expose the insincereity and dishonesty of those out to get you.

Truth comes out.

Thanks Scott.

Todd Pullara   June 3rd, 2009 - 11:32 am

Wow…actual journalism. I didn’t think it existed anymore. Good job.

Old Man   June 3rd, 2009 - 12:23 pm

Elizabeth – a rose among the thorns.

why   June 3rd, 2009 - 12:26 pm

Ok, the ladies on the view have no idea what they are talking about, agreed. But why is everyone defending Glenn Beck? He is worse than the ladies with his constant ignorant one-sided attacks.

Other   June 3rd, 2009 - 12:56 pm

Beck caved and cowered….then slunk back to his show to speak about it.

Why didnt he defend himself on the View?

Jan James   June 3rd, 2009 - 1:10 pm

Well done, Scott! Although I have Tivo’d The View for years, I recognize the liberal perspective most of the hosts have and as I enjoy debate, I take it for what it’s worth. The Glenn Beck interview, however, went way past the hosts expressing their liberal perspective … it was a downright mean-spirited and rude treatment of a “guest” on their show. How sad. The show is no longer in my Tivo, and I wrote to ABC to tell them so.

zeft   June 3rd, 2009 - 1:13 pm

Glenn Beck is a fu@king coward. Him and everyone like him are the reason the rest of the world has such a bad image of our country. We need to clean up our image by cleaning out these right wing a$$holes!

American   June 3rd, 2009 - 1:47 pm

Zeft-
Your language, grammar, and attitude are what makes this country the envy of the world. Why, you might go to Copenhagen (the capital of Denmark, but you know that!) and be feted there for your academic prowess! Please. Go!
Oh, and how do you propose to ‘clean out these right wing a$$holes’? We are the ones who support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Yes, the second amendment too. Come and get us, Twinkie.

Jim   June 3rd, 2009 - 1:52 pm

Nice comment Zeft. Way to use facts to back up your point. Seems like your veiws or lack of depth is what is screwing American up. This proves that lack of facts can be destructive. Glens reputation will be scared by this.

Phyllis Lewis   June 3rd, 2009 - 2:24 pm

Thank you Scott for exposing the truth.

American   June 3rd, 2009 - 2:26 pm

Kudos on the in-depth reporting. Exposing the lying ‘Truth Tellers’ (on the Left or the Right) is doing a great service for all of us.

Realwriter24   June 3rd, 2009 - 2:50 pm

Call it intuition, but when I watched this exchange on Youtube the day after it happened, I could see clearly what the truth really was…….and your great investigative work just affirmed my hunches…..Thanks!!!!!

PS I left comments on youtube and ended up getting some really nasty responses from View fans……like I’m shocked….LOL

Kathleen   June 3rd, 2009 - 3:30 pm

to answer why’s comment- why is everyone defending Glenn Beck?
you defend a person who’s actions have deemed him in the proper- no matter if black, white, democrat, liberal….
as for your after comment – he is worse then the ladies with his constant one sided attacks-
that is your opinion and has nothing to do with why everyone is defending him.

Marc   June 3rd, 2009 - 3:34 pm

Great job Scott! The view is such a joke – I can’t believe so many people buy into it.

Joel MCL   June 3rd, 2009 - 3:40 pm

Go Glenn Beck! They will do anything to defame your popularity, keep up the good work. I never believe anything on the view anyway – it’s a bunch of hormonal old women going through menopause that are upset about their looks and need to feel better about themselves by gossiping about every person on earth.

Kathleen   June 3rd, 2009 - 3:50 pm

To answer Other’s question – why didn’t he defend himself on the view?

When you have a couple big mouth women who won’t let you speak a complete sentence on their show- you have to defend yourself when the big mouths aren’t blocking your defense.

Let me ask you a question- Did you even watch the segment? I have this gut feeling you didn’t.

OsFanRich   June 3rd, 2009 - 4:03 pm

Awesome work!

Too bad they are too high and mighty to apologize as publicly as they criticize.
Even if they do the Media as a whole would never show it. Imagine Obermann or his daughter reporting that these two were wrong about Glenn Beck being a “lying sack of dog mess” and not “checking his facts”?

Laurel   June 3rd, 2009 - 4:15 pm

This show is just one of the many that continue the dumbing down of America. These women don’t get much pettier or stupid, and give all women a bad name.

Babs and Whoopi could also use a good dose of humility.

Turn off your tv folks, and remember stupid just breeds more stupid. Is that really what you want for your future progeny?

Becky Grundei   June 3rd, 2009 - 4:20 pm

THANK YOU SO MUCH! That attack on Glenn was the most ludicrous accusation ever to be seen on a daytime TV. I have never seen Barbara Walters act so unprofessional in any interview. She was beginning to sweat! The behavior of Whoopie is totally typical,a liberal with a chip on their shoulder. I tried to write an email to both women,after the show,and couldnt figure out how to contact them. Thank you for your investigative report. The women on the View have embarrassed themselves by their behavior.

Pamela G   June 3rd, 2009 - 4:26 pm

It is SO refreshing to see REPORTING again – albeit on the nonsense discussed by the hags of the VIEW. Where has reporting gone? Why is ABC, NBC, CBS even viable any longer??? I will be watching and reading YOU! I’ll get real reporting – unbiased. I am certain, had Glenn been a lying sack of fecal material, you’d have reported it as such. You are an AWESOME communicator and reporter and Glenn is too kind – I think we should insist that ABC kick the hags off the airwaves. They act like a group of 3rd grade female bullies who should be put in their places, with dunce caps. along with their feckless group of mouths in the audience.

Mary Cay Nilsen   June 3rd, 2009 - 4:27 pm

Well done. I look forward to being tuned in to other stories you report on! Thanks for checking facts, a small point lost on the “elite”.

elli   June 3rd, 2009 - 4:50 pm

I’m with Stacy … these women are soooo out-of-touch. I have no use for them. When will they get the message that the “View” is off the air ?? Would that it be soon !!

Tim   June 3rd, 2009 - 5:07 pm

Whoopie Goldberg wasn’t interested in what really happened on that train. Not that day, and not now. You can tell when she said, “I gave you a look, much like the one I just gave you” during the story. What she really wanted to do was hate Glenn Beck. That comment is as much as an admission that she is biased and full of hatred for conservative values. Her and her ilk (I am looking in your direction poster “Why”) want to turn America into Atlas Shrugged pre-John Galt’s speech.

TBRech   June 3rd, 2009 - 5:16 pm

Funny, I used to watch this program (The View) but stopped because the women on the show are so obnoxious when they talk and yell over one another. Elizabeth Hasselback seems to be there only to be a person to be denigrated for her views so it appears they only have one view and don’t tolerate any others. The View is not a discussion show, but a bully pulpit. I like Glenn Beck. I find his show funny and interesting. The way Barbara Walters and Whoopi treated him has lead me to never watch The View again and to avoid any work either one of them do. I seldom watch ABC any more and this cements my choices. Shame on these individuals who represent women to be snively snipes bent on discrediting anyone who disagrees with them.

Civil discussion is what real women engage in even when they disagree.

Victoria Orme   June 3rd, 2009 - 5:32 pm

I am so glad for this report. Thank you so much. I don’t normally watch the view, but because Glenn Beck was going to be on it, I tuned in. I have never seen such disgusting tv since Jerry Springer! How does this debacle stay on the air? I felt embarrassed and humiliated. At least we know we don’t need waterboarding to get confessions. Just unleash Whoopi and Barbara on the terrorists!
I will never watch anything on the view again!

Kiyomi Cooper   June 3rd, 2009 - 5:56 pm

This is the worst example of women. I’m saddened by their shameful behaviour. No dignity. Glenn was a perfect gentleman. Thank you very much Scott.

Sandy   June 3rd, 2009 - 6:18 pm

Thank you Scott for your work on this. What they to Glenn Beck on the View was so wrong.

These poor old women don’t have a clue. Their miserable lonely lives are obviously reflected in their attitudes.
They owe Glenn Beck an apology, but they never will lower themselves to that level.

J Clemens   June 3rd, 2009 - 6:25 pm

I predict the show will not last much longer anyway. The only reason people watch is to see these fat,” has been” hags make fools of themselves anyway.One more facelift and Baba wawas face will be in her scalp . Glen, as always you are a gentleman. You and Fox have something abc and those ignorant idiots will NEVER have and that is SUCCESSand huge ratings and that IS the best revenge.

mattigal   June 3rd, 2009 - 6:40 pm

Now if we could get a real investigation on Obama and his democRATic Hacks and reveal who they really are! Great job Scott…. Keep it up!

pinnie   June 3rd, 2009 - 6:58 pm

I almost forgot Goldberg looks like she swallowed herself.!!! Hasselbeck get a mouth or find new work. nice save. You sat there and let them call someone a lying sack of dog mess.Worthless? You betcha.

pinnie   June 3rd, 2009 - 6:58 pm

Why would anyone watch that show. Its a nasty show. No view there….. just screaming!! cant find work no talent imbeciles. not funny not factual and not enjoyable. I TRIED TO WATCH ONR THE SAID DAY . I HAD TO TURN IT OFF. WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD WAS GLENN THINKING. THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TRAIN OR NO TRAIN. tHEY DO NOT HAVE THE WITS TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON ANY TOPIC WITH MERIT SO ALL THEY DO IS CONFRONT PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH EVERY THING THEY ASPIRE TO.They are obnoxious. Bullies. And very self rightgeous. So now we have 5 self rightgeous pieces of dog poo. America flush that show. Its not entertaining. They aim to infuriate with twisted tales of their jaded opinions and lies. Not american at all.

What a waste of my time.

Deb   June 3rd, 2009 - 9:22 pm

I am grateful for you, very grateful, and may I add, quite hungry for your investigative style. Thanks to Glenn, I now know about you and will follow your progress. KEEP IT UP, AND GOD BLESS YOU, SCOTT!

JJ   June 3rd, 2009 - 9:56 pm

Heard the interview w Scott this morning. Great job. So much for Babs and Goldberg.. So much for the Spew. Thanks for the investagation and thanks Scott and Glenn. What a attack

Tony   June 3rd, 2009 - 11:22 pm

I’ll parrot the others giving accolades for great journalism. If the media was half as good as this on pressing issues, I firmly believe we wouldn’t be on the precipice of a no-kidding collapse of America.

Thanks for the work. I’ll take whatever I can get.

Mary   June 3rd, 2009 - 11:45 pm

Well done!! Thank you for all your hard work investigating the FACTS in this. I cannot stand “The View” and do not watch it, as a rule. God bless you and Glenn for all you do.

Kay L   June 4th, 2009 - 12:55 am

I made a comment about one of the videos of that segment of The View and had someone personally insult me–that person was posting under their real name and they are a cable show host who was featured on Oprah not long ago. ((Pretty much a Z-lister.)

It was kind of surprising as I had never been called names by someone who I had seen on TV before. She deleted the comment from the page, but of course it was sent to me via email.

Sue   June 4th, 2009 - 2:04 am

Could someone please tell me who watches “The View”? I’ve heard it gets high ratings, but…from where? I don’t know anyone who has ever watched it. Whoopie and Barbara both make my skin crawl. Glen was trying to be a gentleman with those pigs; but he couldn’t get a word in with those big mouths going non stop. Glen…. what were you thinking even to go on that show??

Marie   June 4th, 2009 - 2:24 am

I usually work during the day. I am a nurse. I never really get to see daytime television. I was in a patients room one day and this patient had on the View. These women are so vile and disgusting!! They are nothing but elite media whores. My husband and I love you Glenn Beck. That Elizabeth really should find another job. She doesn’t belong there. She is too much a lady.

Cameron   June 4th, 2009 - 2:30 am

Scott,

PLEASE do as Glenn asked today on his radio show and write a quick synopsis of your findings. Then send it to Glenn so he can send it to Barbara and “ask” what really happened… oh please. The audacity of that woman. We all know that a well crafted letter by you and Glenn would slam her to the core. And while we won’t be in the room to see her read it, we all know that she will feel so so so stupid and for that we can all relish in her humiliation. I know its very 3rd grade. But come on, it will be AWESOME!! (say that last sentence as if Chris Farley was saying it- it really underscores my enthusiasm… lol)

nic   June 4th, 2009 - 2:42 am

Barbara should have quit media after retiring from 20/20. In the past few years she has only made embarrassing admissions. I have only lost 95% of respect for her. And Whoopi, she was only an actress and like many other liberal actors/actresses, they deserve NO respect.

cheryl   June 4th, 2009 - 8:36 am

i have never watched “the view”,but did watch this clip of Glenn Beck,and those women sounded like a bunch of cackling vultures,and no way could Glenn Beck get a word in!!!..

Way to go Scott for bringing out the real truth on this!!..I love Glenn Becks show and watch it every day,and cannot see how others can say he’s biased,when he’s nailed republicans,as well as democrats over issues..the “truth” may not always
be what people want to hear,but i’d rather know the truth,over being deceived of the truth…just
as Glenn says,say what you mean and mean what you
say..

Corinna   June 4th, 2009 - 9:28 am

Awesome journalism! I will bookmark this site, not just because of your fair reporting of the Glenn Beck incident but to catch your commentary of events in the future. There are not many persons that are doing the “legwork” that it requires to get the real story anymore and I will support any outlet that even attempts it.

Betsy   June 4th, 2009 - 10:04 am

Laurel’s comment “Turn off your tv folks, and remember stupid just breeds more stupid.”….was spot on!!!!
Ms. Walters needs to go take a long rest in a home. She has outlived her worthfulness. Also, the Botox (botulism) has poisoned her brain.
And, as for Whoopi, well, just think of her name………..she is a big “whoops!”
(mistake).

KMV   June 4th, 2009 - 11:07 am

Why didn’t he defend himself? You people must be as stupid and ignorant as the women on this show. Did you actually WATCH this video. If you did, it’s pretty self explanatory. He SAID “you’re accusing me of lying…” – he TRIED to speak and get his point across. In case you didn’t notice he had two shrews screeching in his face; this on top of the fact that he was too sick to do even his own show that day. Then he walks out on this joke of a show and gets attacked with absolute nonsense. See, Glenn likes to talk about actual issues, I doubt he was prepared to debate an amusing side-story of absolutely no significance.

sweetcake   June 4th, 2009 - 12:01 pm

I finally see real reporting, fantastic. The whole ambush was a diversion to cover up there embarassment about being exposed for elite treatment. Thanks

dk   June 4th, 2009 - 12:16 pm

geez, everyone needs to get over this tired issue since no one cares.
try investigating something newsworthy that actually matters in the world.
and please stop defending that overinflated glenn beck before his ego bursts even more.

Sue   June 4th, 2009 - 12:24 pm

The women of the view (with the exception of Elizebeth) have no clue how to have a conversation about conservative views. No matter what Glenn would have talked about they would have acted the same way.
They should all be ashamed of themselves.

BeckTheCoward   June 5th, 2009 - 12:36 am

So….Turns out Walters and Goldberg did not reserve seats, did they? Even though Baker tried really, really, really hard to prove that they did, he could not, and he had to admit that, if seats were held, Amtrak personnel may have had them held on their own.
Beck is a complete and total coward. He could not stand up for himself on The View. He could not stand up for himself to Goldberg and Walters. He was afraid of them. He was so afraid that he couldn’t even go on his own program later that day. He claimed he had the “24-hour Mexican flu.” He should definitely call the CDC, because it would be the first reported case of the 24-hour kind of that flu. He looked and sounded perfectly healthy at 11 AM; when he called into his show later that day, he sounded oh so ill, stuffy nose and all. But a day or two later, safely ensconced in his studio, with his bodyguard nearby, then he was a tiger, indignantly calling out both Walters and Goldberg. Now he has Baker standing up for him, taking on the mean ladies at The View. My question is, when will Beck stand up for himself, face to face with Barbara Walters? Face to face with Whoopi Goldberg? Then let’s see him say what he’s been saying. If he does that, then I might possibly have a tinge of respect for him. Until then, he’s just a weasel hiding behind other people, whining and complaining that Barbara Walters picked on him.

Phil   June 5th, 2009 - 8:20 am

BTC

I am so sorry you are so bitter. Maybe they will find a cure for you.

If you would, call amtrak and ask for a police escort, don’t tell them who you are, just say you are a VIP. See if they reserve a seat for you. Please let me know how that works for you. Or better yet have one of your entourage call for you.

The point? They received special treatment because of who they were. Maybe in their world they are just used to it.

IF??? someone calls on your behalf to have something done for you, are you not condoning it? Don’t you just look stupid if you say hey it wasn’t me I have NO idea what my people are doing????

BW and WG should just have the guts to say yes, it was done on our behalf and we will NEVER ask anyone to do it foe us again, we will sit in a coach car wherever we can find seats. We are just common folk and no better then anyone else and oh… I’m ready for my closeup Mr Demille…

Just my opinion

TGW   June 5th, 2009 - 11:32 am

While this was a pretty good investigative report, didn’t it just confirm what we already knew? The “elites” in our society (whether from Hollywood, the media, professional sports, our ruling political class, or the heavy-hitters of the business world) generally feel that they are entitled to special treatment and don’t even give it a second thought when that special treatment occurs. After all, they “earned” the right to preferential treatment, didn’t they? How well would these folks cope if they had to return to the life of an average American?

Dude, you need to post this on YouTube. “The train” may have “left the station” on this issue, but not on YouTube. There its alive and well. Call it “Glenn is a TRUTHFUL Sack of Dog Mess!” To contrast all the “Glenn is a lying sack of dog mess!” Youtube videos.

Someone please upload it, this is too good.

MCW   June 5th, 2009 - 5:46 pm

This was my first look at the B-cast. Very refreshing bit of good investigation. I appreciate it very much. I personally hold a conservative point of view and was glad to see the truth come out in this matter. I only hope that you don’t fall into the trap that all of the media has seemed to fall into which is to take either the liberal or conservative side of every argument. When we (conservatives) screw up I want to see you holding us accountable!!

Thanks again for the good work.

Cindy   June 6th, 2009 - 11:31 am

Way to go! Barbara has forgotten what it means to be an investigative reporter, and forgotten what it means to live without privelege. Whoopie….well, obviously hangs on to her big mouth ghetto talk when she gets caught living the life of privilege.

I’m not opposed to anyone being able to afford that lifestyle, especially when they have worked so hard for it. I am not even offended that they had reserved seats.

I am offended when someone has that “elitist” lifestyle, expects and receives special treatment, pretends that they don’t (by riding with the common folks), and then denies that they do, or that they are any different than the rest of the low lifes that have to sit in non-reserved seats. They were so far into denial and the comfort of their “privileged status” that it was beyond their comprehension to consider the possibllity that they were receiving special treatment, whether they asked for it or not.

I appreciate your ability to perform your duties as an “investigative reporter” and a “viable journalist.” I am so tired of yelling at my television at so-called-reporters and newscasters that present information without context and with “statistics” that can be skewed for the “correct political spin.” You have made a fan.

Leah   June 6th, 2009 - 1:30 pm

I would like to know why “The View” is still on the air since Whoopi and Barbara are the WORST role models for young and older women these days. This is the kind of crap that young adults watch and think that it is ok to act. It is a shame that those women can not be grown-up about owning up to what really happened and how ABC was the one who actually got the reserved seats for them.

This is clearly an opening for two huge Democratic fans to harrass in public on a national tv show a conservative man who has his own show and speaks his own mind. Barbara has really lowered herself to “The View” instead of investigative reporting and interviewing by herself guests. Whoopi really ought to back to acting since she is not very good with morning shows on the radio even if syndicated or interviewing people who do not share her own views.

olga   June 6th, 2009 - 4:25 pm

I just paid attention to 6 minutes of this video and concluded watching the rest is a waste of time. I have no idea what point this guy was trying to make but if he couldn’t make it within 6 minutes, it wasn’t a point worthy to be made.
I think people are most disturbed by the fact that Beck, Limbaugh and the rest of that ilk exaggerate and go over the top for purposes of entertaining. Yet they don’t realize that their audience is chock full of the unstable people who are easily wooed to incite violence. Not that Beck tells people to behave violently. It’s just that his hateful rhetoric incites the small % of wackos listening to do wacky things.

T-rex   June 6th, 2009 - 6:09 pm

Way to go Scott! About time someone looked into that!

Now if we can convince you to look into ACORN!

Deborah   June 7th, 2009 - 5:59 am

First of all, for these women to be considered “reporters” is absurd. Check facts? Not much. I used to watch this show long, long time ago. It has become a platform for Whoopi Goldberg’s insane RANTS.

Cheryl   June 9th, 2009 - 8:39 am

Hey Barbara, Whoopie: Apology due.

Tick Tock.

laiss3z fair3   June 9th, 2009 - 4:35 pm

BINGO! Sweetcake hit the nail on the head:

“The whole ambush was a diversion to cover up their embarrassment about being exposed for elite treatment.”

Typical of the View and that ilk- “The View– the show that typifies debate in America. No facts, ALL emotion.” Brilliant!

And lastly… Yes, Scott- PLEEEASE do an ACORN expose!

kimifields   June 24th, 2009 - 2:10 am

Wonderful “investigative reporting.” Once you see the facts it’s embarrassing for The View, seeing how blatantly they were bashing his character, for no other reason but his political views. And their “view” on his stand on issues is completely skewed; it showed so well on the questions they asked him. I wish they’d do a little “investigative reporting” themselves.

Matt   July 28th, 2009 - 6:24 pm

Can’t he sue for defamation of character? Whoopi called him a liar to his face on TV – which may have had an impact on those that believe him trustworthy. Since it is now proven that he wasn’t a liar, was telling the truth, the View ladies are in a very actionable position. Great reporting job!!!!!!! We need more of this.

Sue   July 28th, 2009 - 6:36 pm

The View….a show filled with washed up, middle-aged women that have nothing better to do than be filmed while they publically gossip,lie and try to be funny while doing it. BTW, Whoopi Goldberg hasn’t been funny in years! She really needs some new material.

Glenn Beck…..tells it like it is with a twist of humor. He’s opening the public’s blind eyes as to what Obama and his thugs are doing to destroy and socialize our great country.

Glenn Beck’s agent: What were you thinking of when you booked Glenn on such a loser show??

THIS VIDEO…..TOTALLY ON SPOT AND AWESOME!!! A LESSON IN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TRUTH AND MAKE BELIEVE.

Becca   July 28th, 2009 - 7:58 pm

wow..i had to find this after hearing Jill go off on Glenn today..You know I used to like some of these news people..now i find my self despising them more each day.As for Whoopie..she’s just another celebrity wannabee..who cares..way to go glenn and scott..great job!!

DeDe   July 28th, 2009 - 9:36 pm

LOVE it that you have actually investigated the story and did some great reporting.
Keep up the great work.
They do owe Glenn an apology, but he will never get it.
I have got to forward this on to others.

jody   July 28th, 2009 - 11:08 pm

They are such jerks to anyone who is not democratic and who opposes the stuff that obama does. These women are very much on the attack of anyone with good moral values.

Sandy   July 29th, 2009 - 7:24 pm

I agree with those who say the women of the view are an embarrasement to our gender. These women looked so petty an inane to devote all the air time to this trivial matter. Glenn Beck is one of the few decent and TRUTHFUL people left out there.

LouAnn   September 30th, 2009 - 4:20 pm

I have over the years lost all respect for Barbara Walters and Whoopie Goldberg. Add in Joy Behar and you have the makings of a show full of idiots. Thank goodness for Elisabeth Hasselbeck who gives the show the little bit of class that it has! I agree..Barbara and Whoopie both owe Glenn Beck an apology! People should start to turn down offers to be on the show and maybe the piece of crap will be canceled!

BTW..I think Glenn did a great imitation of Barbara’s voice! haha

Aloin   December 11th, 2009 - 3:42 pm

Cracks.

Jennifer   December 22nd, 2009 - 2:37 pm

It makes sense that these hags would need a police escort. They are psychotic and a joke. Anyone that respects these women as legitimate need to be looked at for mental issues.

good observation of the truth   December 22nd, 2009 - 3:00 pm

I just made the same comment on the Youtube vid.

It was an ambush from the beginning…. que video.

DGV   December 22nd, 2009 - 3:05 pm

I don’t understand why Glenn would go on this slezzy show any way. They (BW & WG) are far left and were looking for some reason to make Glen look like a lier. This world is going to look a lot defferent after 2010. I can’t wait until we can show all of these far left idiots just how stupid they really are. I hope and pray that people like BW & WG will loose what ever platform they have to spew out all of there poison. I am just one of many people that are so sick of what is going on in our government. I would love to have BW and WG’s email address so I could tell them what I think of them. I can’t believe there is that many far left people in the US that would even want to go and watch “The View”. I have never one time watched it and I will never ever watch the show. As far as I am concerned they both could drop off the other side of the world and I would not miss either one of them. There problem is that they dont tune in to “Glen Beck” show. Then they would be able to see with there own eyes the truth about this Marxist government and how they are part of it.

CRL   December 22nd, 2009 - 3:28 pm

I like his positions and tend to agree with him but Beck sorely needs to develop his masculine side.

Danny Boy   December 22nd, 2009 - 3:40 pm

Yeah I don’t think Glenn should have given the The Screw any respect or time Sloppi Goldberg is the female version of Al Sharpton she plays the race card no matter where that thing goes. But it is true as Sloppi would tell you …you can bring your self out of the cutter and become something just as long as you remember thats where you belong Mr. Goldberg!

Chris   December 22nd, 2009 - 3:43 pm

Wow. Scott Baker has done some fantastic journalism on this one. “Impressed” just doesn’t fully describe it.

Also, I’d like to echo most of the comments before mine. It is scary what these morons BW & WG (and everyone else on the View) can do with the power middle America has given them. When will Glenn go on at midday so no one has to watch this other garbage that is on then.

You’re the man Glenn! For such a great story, so are you Scott!

Danny Boy   December 22nd, 2009 - 3:46 pm

I also heard or made up ….lol that Walters has had surgery on knees too…hmmmm….never heard she was athlete of sorts…must have been all those interviews…I’ll tell ya if there are 3 people who should have never been born its Barbara, Sloppi, and Joy…..their mothers should have swallowed the load!

Tia in Tampa   December 22nd, 2009 - 3:49 pm

Nice. I couldn’t be more sick of that brood of cackling hens — the hosts of “The View” (except Elizebeth). They’ve been useless all along, but then Goldberg lost me forever when she defended Roman Polanski a short while back, and Behar went and infurated me with her ugly attack of Sarah Palin. This latest circus act just reinforces that these women are no more than wastes of oxygen. I’m not sure how anyone with more than ten brain cells can tolerate that show, and Glenn was bold and courageous to be a guest. It’s a good thing Scott did his homework. Though it would be silly to count on it, I’m also hoping Glenn gets the apology he so well deserves.

Rachel   December 22nd, 2009 - 3:51 pm

First of all, great job on the research for this dispute. Secondly, why in the hell did these ladies have Glenn on their show to only discuss he said/she said???? Seriously, WTH!!!!! I am guessing they used this stupid story to run out of air time before he started asking GOOD questions regarding what is REALLY going on in our country and they did not want to look stupid for not having an answer OR they do not want to face FACTS.

This show is a total disgrace to THE United States of America, its Citizens, and to God.

Ron   December 22nd, 2009 - 4:00 pm

what a non-issue. deliberately used to diminish his appearance.

I would have left that gaggle of petty, jabbering washwomen.

Ron   December 22nd, 2009 - 4:02 pm

And by the way- “whoopie” calling someone a sack of dog mess?
Really ?

Does she own a mirror ?

MARLENE   December 22nd, 2009 - 5:20 pm

I DUMPED THE RABBIT-EARS AND GOT ATT U-VERSE IN MAY AND NOW GET TO ENJOY GLENN BECK! GLENN WOULD NEVER LIE AND THOSE VIEW SHE-DEVILS ARE MEAN SPIRITED WITCHES. HERE IS HOW I RANK THEM FROM MOST EVIL TO A LESSER DEGREE OF EVIL: JOY BAHAR, BARBARA WALTERS & WHOOPI GOLDBERG.
I LIKE SHERRI. I DON’T ALWAYS AGREE WITH HER BUT I LIKE HER. SHE ISN’T MEAN. AND I DEFINITELY LIKE ELIZABETH. I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THEM TALKING OVER HER, INTERRUPTING HER AND JUDGING HER EVERY WORD. THE NAME OF THE SHOW IS SO VERY ACCURATE. THERE IS ONLY ONE VIEW. “THE” VIEW. “THEIR” VIEW. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR DEBATE, DISCUSSION OF ANY KIND.

JOY BAHAR WAS PROBABLY A “MEAN GIRL” IN SCHOOL. SHE GETS THAT EVIL SELF-SATISFIED LOOK ON HER FACE WHEN SHE REPORTS ON THE SCANDALOUS BEHAVIOR OF SOME NEWSWORTHY PERSONALITY. SHE TAKES GREAT PLEASURE IN TEARING PEOPLE DOWN.

I DON’T KNOW WHY ELIZABETH STAYS ON THAT SHOW BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT SHE HAS A DEFINITE ESCAPE PLAN AND I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR WHAT IT IS.

I JUST FINISHED READING “THE CHRISTMAS SWEATER” BY GLENN BECK AND I LOVED IT. A FRIEND GAVE IT TO ME AND I GAVE IT TO ANOTHER FRIEND AND WE ARE JUST GOING TO PASS IT AROUND TILL EVERYONE IN OUR WARD HAS READ IT.

BYE…..I’M OFF TO MAKE SNICKERDOODLES!

middleroader12   December 22nd, 2009 - 5:40 pm

Thanks for reminding me again why I never watch The View. Now I can cross off all the Whoopie/BabaWawa shows off my list, too.

Viewisbeneathveryone   December 22nd, 2009 - 6:38 pm

Why are we giving these shrews any kind of our time?
Just go to their sponsors and let them know, or at least let them think you will not be buying any of their products. (music in the background…) ChestNUTS roasting in an open fire…Jack Frost nipping…

When it starts costing THEM specifically, the tune becomes different.

Kathy   December 22nd, 2009 - 6:46 pm

I am livid. I have never seen them treat a guest on their show so poorly. They took the first chance they got to try to take Glenn down. I’m so sick of theis crap. I will NEVER watch The View again! The real story here is that they are part of the biased liberal media. I don’t know why I’m surprised.

JHM   December 22nd, 2009 - 7:36 pm

THE VIEW IS A DISGUSTING SHOW, JUST A BUNCH OF CACKLING CHICKENS WHO CANT GET ANY OTHER JOBS.
THEY MAKE ME WANT TO THROW UP, CANT CHANGE THE CHANNEL FAST ENOUGH.
NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEIR VIEWS.

DannyBoy   December 22nd, 2009 - 7:55 pm

Saw on the evening news that the “White House has a few Christmas Trees decorated and they showed on tree which is in plain sight a Christmas ball hanging on the tree with a picture of “Mao Zedong” on it …plain as day…in the United States White House? WTF…..you’ll never hear that on a show like Chris Matthews’s “Suck Balls”…..now there’s a pile of scum….sorry for the foul mouth…

doc li   December 22nd, 2009 - 8:22 pm

i’ve checked my facts, and barbara wa-wa and whoa-pee are low-lives…..i knew there was a reason i didn’t watch their show…..you go glenn! i’m with you all the way! (some people just don’t get it….)

Gene   December 22nd, 2009 - 8:23 pm

My opinion may not be worth much by its self, but collectively I believe there are a lot of people who share what I think about that show (The View). If you care to get a good dose of how / why the elite left thinks and acts, and listen to the drivel to understand what they’re saying and why…it’s obviously a good source of information. I watched it start to finish exactly once and wished I hadn’t. That’s the show where Elizabeth got bushwhacked by Rosie for being who she is, thinking the way she does, and standing up for common sense and truth. I have since been unable to watch it for more than ten seconds…total.I’d rather stick my finger down my throat and vomit!

Sandy   December 23rd, 2009 - 3:50 am

I never even knew this event happened. I recently got the Glenn Beck top 10 events of 2009 in my mail and watched the Breitbart video clip. I guess Glenn has been the typical gentleman he is and let sleeping dogs lie. Making more of this than what already has only perpetuates the fraud that The View is. I’ve read the Breitbart posts and seen other’s comments and I agree, Glenn is definitely owed an apology from both Barbara and Whoopie. There’s a reason The View is aired at the time it is. I rarely see it unless I’m home sick and channel surfing. The View’s audience is the same ilk as those that watch the Jerry Springer show and soap operas. Just out of curiosity, wasn’t Glenn recently named by Barbara as one of her top ten most interesting people? Was that her wayward form of an apology without apologizing?
Glenn and Fox have my infinite support for bringing us the facts, corroborable facts and information from which we can form our own conclusions about what is going on in the world. He/they do a much better job of fact checking and reporting than the shrews on The View or the rest of the lamestream media cartel.
Just one man’s opinion but much better informed now to form an opinion thanks to Glenn Beck and Scott Baker et al.

Larry   December 23rd, 2009 - 8:31 am

What’s this world coming to. Well, it surely doesn’t surprise me that Baba Wawa and Floopi would do such a thing. So typical of the BS we are getting out of Washington and the Lame Stream Media!

minnie   December 23rd, 2009 - 1:51 pm

I knew all the time Whoopie is defintely a liar, when she called Beck about being a liar and dog mess she was exactly describing herself and Barbara Walters is full of that dog mess. Barbara ans whoopie should apologize to Mr.Glenn Beck. How dare them lure Beck into their crappy show just to gain ratings, what they have to do for ratings, they are a disgrace. I never watch their show, so even Walters lied about the reservation just to better position herself to the AMBUSH. Whoopie is the one that is okay if a rapist rapes a 13 year old child. That says alot about herself and walters because she allows it in her show. I prefer to watch The Glen Beck Show daily.

minnie   December 23rd, 2009 - 2:06 pm

A very long time ago I used to like Barbara when she was on t.v b4 the view, I thought she was a respectful lady, BUT then she exposed herself to being a mistress for many years living a double life,very much like Monica L, John Edwards no protection mistress,Argentina mistress, Sinclair, so now she is so very low class but now whoopie describes herself and walters during THE AMBUSH with her dog mess remark. Both should defintely apologize to Mr. Beck.

kanthonyb   December 23rd, 2009 - 2:26 pm

For those questioning the “news worthiness” of this piece, it is a perfect example of how the mainstream media is being used to attack anyone who disagrees with the Obama administration. The women on “The View”, minus one, are hatchet men for Obama and will stop at nothing to discredit his opponents. We, as a nation, need to recognize this!!

And for those who wonder why Glenn appeared in the first place, unlike Obama, he’s not afraid to face his critics. Let’s see Obama do a one-hour interview on Fox with Glenn or O’Riley…

Annette Mackey   December 23rd, 2009 - 3:29 pm

Well, it just goes to show you that none of the women on “The View” have class. Whoopie’s name tells it all, Joy is a “wanna be”, Barbara began her gossip fest years ago so what can one say?? (gossip was once thought of as “classless”). The very fact that “The View” is still on television speaks volumes for our country.

aj   December 23rd, 2009 - 5:51 pm

Why do people fear the Woopie? She is a low-lived, foul mouthed hypocrite. Beck should refer to her in same way she referred to him when she called him a liar. Whoopie is a lying sack of bull crap!!

Danny Boy   December 29th, 2009 - 11:17 am

I just saw what and how bad and old Joy Behar looks and is…are there no mirrors in the spackle room aka “make-up room”..she looked like like from the head and neck like a Good Year display for tires….rows of wrinkles….plasma and hdtv do this beiotch no favors….
