We have received word from a producer at FOX News that the last two Glenn Beck shows guest-hosted by Judge Napolitano were the third highest rated programs in all of cable news!

Thanks for tuning in and for spreading the word.  Check out the show today at 5 pm eastern and let's keep helping the Judge get out the liberty message on a high-profile stage!

Let's hope this gets Freedom Watch on the air.

I still don't get why Fox News is neglecting this gold-mine of a ratings boost. I mean, is it really that important to showcase the neoconservatives any longer? Haven't they shown themselves to have no credibility? Haven't the American people gotten bored with them? Give the Judge his own show on cable T.V. already!

Remember, John Stossel is soon joining Fox News and Fox Buisness. He's definitely a strong libertarian and one of us. If the Judge could get a cable show that would be amazing. Liberty, an idea whose time is coming.

Hell yes. Just let the Judge keep Beck's show time. I prefer the judge to Beck any day.

Very nice! Well done Judge, keep up the good work. This news alone should justify you being given a cable show time regardless of what time slot.

I heard the Judge on a Fox Business interview last week and he actual mentioned perpetual war and the damage to prosperity it was causing. It was a first for my ears.

I wish they gave a disclaimer on the dangers of the Con Con. Otherwise I am very happy about this and certainly hope the judge gets his own show. I think The Judge, Beck and Stossel would be a good line up for our message. More voices are better than one.

Unbelievable job today! Americans just got one ounce smarter today.

I tune in when the judge is on but that glenn beck feller disturbs me to no end.

I watch beck just about every day. He isnt that bad and I think could be a great guy to get more people to realize what is wrong in this country. However, the judge definately needs his own show for those that are further along in trying to restore liberty in this country.

Great news to hear. I really enjoy listening to the judge when he is on air. I used to watch Beck all the time, even when he was on HLN, but he has let his popularity get to him and brings his religion into play too often. He has done great work in attracting people and bringing up great subjects and I am glad Fox gave him the show, I just wish they would get rid of Hannity and O'Riley, and replace them with the judge and Stossel. I wish Fox would also stop bringing Karl Rove in for his comments, I don't give a rats ass what he thinks!

Right now all we have as far as msm goes is Beck and Faux. As we continue to move into local RNC, GOP's, school boards and town councils, this strange talk of the Constitution will become more frequent. It is up to us to influence those who are in the Tea Party crowd as we have influenced Beck and Fox. To vote in more of the same stooges cannot be tolerated. The Judge was great and should give us some assurance that Beck isn't just an opportunist by turning his show over to the Judge. Portions of the Judge's appearance today should be posted in these pages.

Anyone know where/how to find out what were first and second place shows for the same period and possible trend graph plotting all the network cable shows? I think its something we should keep a track on.

I don't think the Judge will ever get a prime time show - it's more throwing scraps to the dogs than anything else. FOX is still the mouthpiece of the Republican party. They continually spout the Reagan myth/misinformation. They (and Beck) still support wars of aggression. When Beck questions war (and how can't he when he questions progressivism/Wilson who let the FED start on his watch AND tricked the public in to supporting WWI) and the FED, I will become a believer. Until then, I'll think it's all an act because he is "Rah rah IRAQ, Rah rah Afghanistan, and oh, we HAD to save Wall Street to ease the crash landing" Baloney.

@AKJones "When Beck questions war (and how can't he when he questions progressivism/Wilson who let the FED start on his watch AND tricked the public in to supporting WWI) and the FED, I will become a believer.

Well yes but on the on the other hand ... to recall a phrase I heard from one of the speakers at the "Rally for the Republic" say ... "The strength of the vision that Ron Paul and the Founding Fathers have put forward is that it is not necessary for us to agree on everything, it is necessary for us to agree that we should all be free" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9o6XO1pFPY If Glenn Beck believes in individual liberty, then he's ok in my book, everything else can be worked out once we have the country back, in these dark days we need all the help we can get.

I always enjoy the Judge's insights and post his vids/commentary every chance I get.

recently i was asked by a work friend who my favorite pundit was. after the initial shuttering at the thought of having a favorite pundit, i gave it some thought. i came back to him with the judge. he was convinced id say beck, but like i told him, beck is a lightning rod. hes over the top showy and controversial for the sake of ratings, but that also makes it incredibly easy for people to disagree solely on how he acts, and not his actual message. i think he does more harm than good, honestly. the judge on the other hand, is calm, collected, clear, very reasonable and most importantly, likable (or at very least worthy of respect). i am very glad for him, and cant wait until fox news puts him on every day. until then, ill be watching freedom watch on my computer.

Yes, it's me again. This sites biggest Glenn Beck critic. Once again warning everyone. I have been listening and watching Beck for a dozen years and have heard and seen all the horrible ideas and words spoken from him. Sure he is talking the talk NOW! but listen to his past remarks. Especially the ones aimed directly at all the people that supported Ron Paul. Do we easily forget this? I will give an outside chance that maybe he is finally coming around but I wouldn't be putting money on it. Continue to watch and listen but better yet hold his feet to the fire and make sure he follows through on his remarks. I still say it will eventually turn into a get the Republicans elected at any cost message at some point. Beware! @jwfox "If Glenn Beck believes in individual liberty, then he's ok in my book, everything else can be worked out once we have the country back, in these dark days we need all the help we can get." Just who's individual liberty are you talking about? The Iraqis the Afganis? Individual liberty is not selective, It is all inclusive.

Ken, Although I find Glenn Beck to be a not-reliable source in news, he has done some good stories since his start at Fox. I know that many people out there don't trust Fox News, as I found out this past summer news can easily be manipulated (experience at one of the town hall debates with Specter). With that being said, I think Glenn Beck is fairly sincere in many of his messages. People are allowed to change their ideas over time and I find that I have more respect for people who start to see things differently, it means they are thinking about what is being said. I was one of those people. Glenn is a great way to get a message out to the public. I hope that his stances continue to develop, as they have over the past few years. I also hope to see the Judge get his own television show on Fox, I would certainly watch it every day. Good news to hear on this dreary day.

I can't believe fox gave that"stupid idiot" Im-ass the whole morning. That guy's more of a nut than Beck. I don't trust Beck either. He does seem to be coming around and I have even heard him question the afgani and iraq wars but he still refuses to credit RP at all. On several occasions he has been asked if there are any good politicians and he just can't bring himself to admit that RP is the biggest defender of the constitution this country has seen in decades. he's just a pussy who's afraid of being associated with RP which is ironic because it's RP who should be afraid of being associated with Beck. I'm glad he's coming around and gives the Judge his show a lot but until he gives RP the credit he deserves I have no respect for him whatsoever.

I'm still a Beck skeptic ;) He's too reactionary and emotional. The Judge's programs have depth because they go into the philosophy of Liberty. Beck's shows seem to be more about shock factor. I know that he's helped mobilize many Americans that otherwise wouldn't give a rats ass, but I'm afraid it's very shallow. They're being led by their emotions and gut instincts, which is fine, but it needs to be backed up by knowledge, principles and philosophy. I'm afraid that the average Beck watcher really couldn't tell you much about *why* individual liberty is so important and *why* socialism is a bad thing. I guess that's our job to fill in the gaps :)
