Broke

The Plan to Restore Our Trust, Truth and Treasure

De: Glenn Beck, Kevin Balfe

Narrado por: Brian Sack, Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset, showcases his distinctive humor in taking on the political landscape in his fight to fix America—before it’s too late.

As the most important presidential election in our history looms, ask yourself: Are America’s finances in better shape than they were four years ago? Or are we still BROKE?

THE FACTS.

THE FUTURE.

THE FIGHT TO FIX AMERICA—BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.

Our nation is financially broke, but that’s just a side effect of our broken spirit, our broken faith in government, the broken promises by our leaders, and a broken political system that has centralized power at the expense of individual rights. How did we get into this mess? Glenn Beck thinks the answer is pretty simple: Because we’ve turned our backs on the Constitution.

Few of us have ever seen the whole picture, and politicians have done everything in their power to hide the truth. Broke exposes what we’re really facing—and how to fix it. Packed with great stories from history, invaluable teachable moments, and Glenn Beck’s trademark combination of entertainment and enlightenment, Broke makes the case that when you’re traveling in the wrong direction, slight course corrections won’t cut it—you need to take drastic action. Through a return to individual rights, an uncompromising adherence to the Constitution, and a complete rethinking about the role of government in a free society, Glenn exposes the idea of “transformation” for the progressive smokescreen that it is, and instead builds a compelling case that restoration is the only way forward. With this awareness, it’s much easier to develop a realistic plan for uniting all Americans around the concept of shared sacrifice. After all, this generation may not be asked to storm beaches, but we are being asked to do something just as critical to preserving freedom.

First Beck Book Read

What did you love best about Broke?

I really loved how in the beginning of the book Beck talks about the Romans and there government. How the policies of finance lead to fall of a great empire. Then to detail the fiscal policy, in short, of each president from the first to the last; a great relation.

What did you like best about this story?

Again, it was the beginning.

Glenn Beck. I love hearing him talk.

THE GRIM TRUTH

after getting thru the history lesson (the first half of the book) Beck starts to hit the true nature of how the GLOBALIST (the billionaires) control you and me by pay to play politics. A VERY SAD BOOK BUT IT IS THE TRUTH. The Billionaires (globalist's) via our politicians( who use inside information to make themselves RICH off of our backs and sweat) are manipulating OUR LIVES thru the media the Globalist's own....Beck calls them the MASTER PUPPTEERS. They put on a happy show in the front stage (your TV) but in the back stage the ugly truth is hidden...theft, fraud, treason, lies, master manipulation of YOU AND ME. And for the most part, AMERICAN'S DON'T GIVE A DAMN. YOU ARE BEING RIPPED OFF BY THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS....THE BOOK IS THE TRUTH.....SADLY....THANKS GLEN BECK ...FINALLY THE TRUTH....

Everyone should read this book

Glen Beck is very informative, clear and issues our country a challenge to fix what has somehow went off our rightful path. Simply put and easy to understand. Though the truth isn't always pleasant to hear, it does open one's eyes to possibilities. Thank you

Scary to say the least

Glenn Beck fills this book with many facts and numbers. It does get a bit hard to follow from time to time and the numbers get a bit boaring and mondain, but for the most part the book is well written and enjoyable. It is well worth the time and in the end you will, unfortunately, feel like we as a nation is doomed if things don't change.

Eye Opening

The book covers a ton of detail, and it explains just how far we have come. The entire system is unbelievably broken and is not what it is advertised or designed to be by our founding fathers. Very educational with great history lessons which are then brought forward to show their relevance and application today. Read it or continue to be quietly led to bankruptcy by our progressive system.

Finally book that has done the reasearch...

I loved this book. It really spelled it all out and did it in very logical arguments. The data is there. I know data can be manipulated to suit one's purposes but it seemed rather thorough. I enjoyed how Mr Beck didn't follow party lines all the time and outlined things that both republican and democrat presidents did wrong in bringing us to the brink of financial collapse. I enjoyed hearing the pep talk about how the federal government should not be telling us much of anything yet we seem to be complacent in letting them take all the power they want. I was also delighted to finally hear someone else bring up the constitutionality of property taxes. If you think about it, you can own your home but because you can never really own the land, you by default don't/can't own your home because it can be taken by the government for failure to pay your property tax. It is a crock. Anyway, I would encourage you to all read this book. It changed my views and opinions and it might open your eyes a little wider and light a small flame under your ???

Focused and Fair

This book spends more time sharing facts and understanding so that you can make your own conclusions. Very well written and backed by data. I was thinking this was more of an opnion book, but it is non-partisan and fact based. The audible version is a great companion for the actual book, and allows you to study the data as well as understanding the message.

It's Okay

There are lots of historical references (I did not verify), but it seems some of the opinions expressed were a bit off the wall and incomplete. Being fiscally conservative and anti-big government, the book is a good read (listen) but doesn't ring well with the conclusions. Question government motivations and question the thought processes and conclusions of this book.

Good information, but felt rushed.

It seems like Glenn Beck is just writing books for the sake of it. This book is about a subject dear to my heart; fiscal responsibility of government! However, he cites a lot of good information, but he fails to follow through with practical incite, valuable analogies or metaphors and frankly he rambles from subject to subject and back again. This book is good enough to listen too and I am not sorry that I did, but if you have never listened to Glenn Beck before, don't start by reading/listening to this book. Frankly, I feel that he is starting to drift from reality as presented on his commentary program on FOX News and this book is his first book that is starting to reflect this. Glenn ... reel it in.

Also, I like it when he reads his own books. He has a great voice [he is a radio announcer after all] and he has so little time that most of this book is read by Brian Sack [whose name should be listed first in "Narrated by"].
