in this case, glen beck has a right to do what he will do tomoow. on ts occasion, on that date, at that location, given what he has said about obama being a racist and not liking white people, is inappropriate for him to be doing what he is doing? people make a judgment about the mosque. i don't want to dignify them with any other kind of response that i feel that the glen beck controversy and the most conoversy are very much insider stories. i have been out on the campaign trail. the people out there all talk about jobs. they talk about the economy. this is just fodder for us and cable news. glen beck can have this event but i will teach my daughter what honor and valueue are and e should teach his own family. >> i think it is rather historically interesting. the tea party has been thought of as a movement of opposition. i think what we might see and what he itrying to do is to put a happier face on the movement and speak about what it is about. it will be interesting to see how he and the other speakers will frame it. i think they are trying to tr

guest: compared to glen beck? we have a pretty big e-mail lists glen is a friend and i believe in this event and i support what he is trying to do. yes, i am here, our supporters are here, and not just them. i just left the mall. i think it is fall all the way down to the reflecting pool already and they have one hour to go and they are streaming in from all over the city. host: you just had breakfast with glen beck and sarah palin? guest: it was a fund-raiser for the warrior foundation which provides college tuition and assistant to the children of special forces, veterans who have lost their lives defending our country. it was a very moving breakfast. they had one of the beneficiaries of the scholarship program whose father was killed in a training exercise in korea. i believe it was 16 years ago. she was a graduate of the program. it was very moving. i know that glen beck has been attacked or criticized by some by choosing the anniversary of dr. king's "i have a dream" speech. i grew up in the south and went to

that's where glen beck is wrong, and i'll tell you another way glen beck is wrong. he and his whole crew said this city could be rebuilt by private effort alone. the government was terrible, the government couldn't do anything. do you know how many houses all the non-profits have built? no more than 5,000 in five years. do you know how many we lost? 200,000. so glen beck has to go back and look at the facts because he is preaching a gospel that never has existed, doesn't exist today and never will. we follow the gospel, rich and i, of jesus christ. we know what to do. others follow other faiths, but the fact of the matter is god has been all present. and you can ask anyone in new orlea orleans, when every other government left, god was still here. >> that whistle is going to be with us for the whole hour just behind us. i have to say as a confessed new york giants fan who has come to love your city, i have learned that you can call the new orleans saints just a football team at your own personal peril. please, the toughest question i will ask you will be to con dens

also ahead, glen beck gets ready for his washington rally. why critics say he intentionally scheduled at a sensitive time. and a street festival dedicated to good eats and affordable. all of that is coming up. and then later on "nightline." >> i'm terry moran. dan, coming up on "nightline" after the string of deadly grizzly attacks, they are warning about a new wave of bear aggression. and martin luther king, junior's niece tells us why 9ñ9ñ)ñ@únsnsns t t tgsataxax >> closed captioning brought to >> closed captioning brought to >>> interesting figures are out tonight that reflect a change in the american family. we are now seeing the opposite of a baby boom in this country. the u.s. birthrate has fallen with the lowest level in a century. the bad economy is keeping people from expanding their families. amy hollyfield has more. >> dan, as you know, the delivery rooms are busy, and you don't have to look far to find strollers on the bay area sidewalks. we wanted to check in with the experts, so we went to the daily city hospital and we foun

glen beck urged americans to embrace god. while near by, critics accused beck of distorting king's legacy. >> reporter: hands triumphantly in the air, glen beck took the stage saturday in front of the lincoln memorial for a rally he organized called restoring honor. it attracted criticism for being scheduled on the same day as the 47th anniversary of the reverend martin luther king's iconic i have a dream speech also staged in front of the lincoln memorial. >> i can relate to martin luther king probably the most because we haven't carved him in marble yet. he's still a man and that's the message. >> reporter: near by at dunbar high school another rally was held called reclaim the dream. this one led by the reverend al sharpton. the civil rights leader was indignant about beck's rally. >> we are not giving them this day, this is our day and we ain't giving it away. >> reporter: king raised some eyebrows by appearing at the beck rally. she says her uncle would support the rally for giving honor where honor is due. >>> and the c

and glen beck is 10 to 1 their hero. he gets very divided feelings in the country. and i just, i think that tomorrow the test will be there is only two speakers of really national prominence, glen beck an sarah palin, will be the optics and atmospherics as much as anything else, not that either one of them is going to say anything that schoolchildren will be learning and reciting a generation from now like martin luther king did, but i think will be whether, in fact there will be the signs. whether there will be the buttons. whether there will be the disparaging and sometimes racially charged pla cards that have showed up at other tea party events. i hope it is not the case. they are trying to prevent it. they said there will be no guns there, which is reassuring. so and would be in violation of washington d.c. law anyway. but so i think it is. i think it is important. but i think this is a group apart. and to the degree it becomes the face of the republican party, in 2010. >> woodruff: they said they want to take over the republican party. >> i think poses problems

and other speakers tried to avoid appearing overly political. >> hello america. >> reporter: glen beck bounded on to the steps of lincoln memorial to greet an estimated crowd of almost 100,000 people. >> america today begins to turn back to god. >> reporter: the crowd waved flags and chanted in support atthe conservative broadcasters restoring honor rally. held the same day and the same spot that martin luther king junior gave his i have a dream speech. >> he wants this country to get back the constitutionality. >> reporter: backed by fellow tea party leader, praised men and women who have overcome challenges and honored members of the military for their service both stayed away from overly political statements. >> we must restore america, and restore her honor. >> reporter: beck's rally drew criticism for its timing, thousands of others led by reverend al sharpton held their own rally and march aimed at taking back the day and its message. >> they may have the platform but we have the dream. >> reporter: sharpton lead thousands on a three mile march to the streets of washington to a s

civil rights leaders like al sharpton say glen beck's style is against everything dr. king stood for. >> it is 6:48. want to check back in with sal on the friday morning commute. sal. >> friday light so far. i don't want to jinx it. so far we are doing okay. let's take a look at noter bound and southbound 880. that traffic is moving along well and looks good here in oakland. also look at the bay bridge toll plaza. you don't have to have any concern right now coming into san francisco. this morning's commute in san francisco itself foggy but northbound 101 traffic is looking okay. filling in for steve, mr. mark tamayo. >> hi there, sam. good morning to you. we are starting out with look at this, the overcast making a big come back over the past few hours. currently 58 degrees. the cooling trend that is the main weather headline right on into the weekend. just amazing just a couple of days ago we are talking about triple digits today just talking about lower 80s and that could be seen toward walnut creek 7:00 56 digs by lunchtime 70, an afternoon high of 82 degrees that

>> does he know. >> you know, that's the great mystery of glen beck. these things, these protec protect-- projects of his seem to have the sort of made up on the fly kind of quality to them. they are always built around sort of great but vague concepts like honor. we're all in favor of honor. the constitution is at the heart of his 9-12 project. most americans are in favor of the constitution. and beck is always promising in his shows that he's going to bring more and more definition to these ideas. but somehow that part of it never quite happens. and i think he understands that the more he defines these ideas, the more people are going to disagree with them. and so he's trying to build the biggest tent he can in his niche and draw in as many people and hold them as long as he can. so some people think it's about religion. some people think it's about the second amendment. some people think it's about the democrats. beck will often say that he hates the republicans as much as the democrats. so he keeps it deliberately vague. >> woodruff: and kate from

to glen beck and others argued had views that were significantly out of the mainstream. a number of those people have resigned or left the administration. apparently, the views were not only those of glen beck, there were apparently the views of someone within the obama administration. be that as it may, we will have to agree to disagree on that wind. i would again urge you as i have urged others who are concerned about the rally today to hold your criticism and let's see what is said at the lincoln memorial today. i would be very surprised based on what i heard last night of the kennedy center and what i just heard at the breakfast, i would be stunned if there were things that were set the lincoln memorial today with which you disagree about the need to restore our country to the principles upon which it was founded of faith, hope, and charity and caring for the least and lost among us. host: we are about to start live coverage of the event but let's squeeze in one call, you have about 30 seconds. hi, c-span. if aita is one to say it as a disabled -- i just want to say,

by conservative talk show host glen beck, he is madeleining a rally called restoring honor, scheduled on the anniversary of martin luther king's i have a dream speech from the same spot where he delivered it. civil rights leaders say al his attack style is against everything king stood for. >>> this morning they will honor a far and son who came to the rescue of a driver in a burning car. they immediately sprang into action when they spotted a car engulfed in flails near 280 in san francisco. the two good samaritans immediately pulled the trapped driver out of that burning car. the chp says their quick thinking and heroic actions likely saved that driver's life. >> wow. they are heroes. >>> time now 5:48. let's check in with sal. see if anything is happening on the roads now, sal. >> you know it is still relatively light. there are some things out there that are beginning to get a little bit busier. for the most part off to a nice saturday. westbound 24 to the tunnel no major problems there as you come up to the tunnel. this morning's commute is okay on 80 westbound as you drive out t

will you be attending glen beck's rally on the maul -- mall? guest: probably not. i'm not a big mall person. host: republican line, hi. caller: well, i'm actually a small percentage of republicans, probably, because i'm not -- i don't -- i'm not well-off. i just believe mostly in the republican beliefs. i'm just as poor as any democrat out there. i don't believe in, you know, gay marriage and abortion and everything, but i just want to ask, from what you see, do you see that the rich will keep getting rich and the poor will keep getting poor? do you think that people can start making money again and quit being just as poor as third world countries and having to live off the government and stuff like that? guest: you know, that -- and that is the uncomfortable through-line, i think between the past through white houses is that the rich do keep getting richer. that's largely because they do have a disproportionate influence on congress and the white house and our political system and our laws are being written by lobbyists who are writing them for the benefit of corp

i love glen beck. but i want to know why handty thinks that everybody that watches him hikes him? i agree with joeed byn. nobody is stupid. i agree with everything he said. host: come november, the house and the senate? caller: we've doubled luck with two democrats that are great and you know it's wonderful. people could take whatever they want to take. it's the stupid people that believe in sarah palin. she doesn't know what a state is. if you live in the states you know the difference if you live in alaska you don't have a clue. like her preaching about giving oil people money. she should be struck by lightning or something. host: we'll leave it there. i've been saying this is off of twitter, by the way. someone identifies them as oversight of government. senate democrats will gain a majority caucus and democrats will gain the house. share your comments. to give you more of a flavor of the vice president's thoughts come november here's more from his speech last night. >> there's a choice for americans and there's not between the democrats and the almighty but democrats and the r

i guess glen beck has to give it to you like this. it is like a jungle. it makes you wonder, how i keep from going under. sometimes it makes me wonder how i keep from going under. ask those who find themselves in schools better factories of failure, that feed the pipeline so that we now have in this country what is called the new jim crow. what happens to a dream deferred? we are year to reclaim that dream. why? because he dared to dream 47 years ago against the backdrop of a-nightmare of jim crow apartheid, there to declare we have a dream. yes, we are reclaiming the dream. why? because dreams still come true. 1963 led to the passage of civil rights legislation in 1964. dreams do come true. marching from selma to montgomery led to the passage of voting rights legislation. dreams do come true. because rosa parks sat, jesse ran, al sharpton at stud, obama online, and -- al sharpton it , and now we wione, and can say that dreams do come true. we shall overcome peace -- we shall overcome. peace.
