Fox News host Glenn Beck tells Newsmax that President Barack Obama's White House qualifies as the most corrupt administration in U.S. history.
"There are so many things that this administration has done that I think will go down in history as ... it's going to go down in history as the most corrupt administration ever," Beck says in an exclusive Newsmax.TV interview.
Beck's no-holds-barred assessment of the Obama administration's ethics comes as he is promoting an Aug. 28 celebration at the Lincoln Memorial called Restoring Honor.
The remark came as Newsmax.TV sought Beck's reaction to a recent statement that GOP Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl attributed to Obama.
Kyl said he asked Obama to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, but the president refused because it would reduce Republicans' incentive to compromise on immigration reform. The White House denied Kyl's account, but former Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo wrote in op-ed column that Obama's stance "constitutes an impeachable offense."
Asked if he agrees with Tancredo, Beck replies "I'll leave that up to them."
But he goes on to say: "If the story is ever told, if the journalists ever decide to regain their soul to their journalist god – whoever that is, Walter Lippmann or I don't know who – if they ever care to redeem their soul, and actually look into the corruption and things that are going on in this administration, this administration will be exposed as the most corrupt of all time."
The Fox News luminary added that former President George W. Bush also failed in his duty to secure the border.
In the interview, Beck points to a recent Gallup poll that shows the 76 percent of Americans have a great deal of confidence in the U.S. military – much higher than the public has in any other institution.
Congress, by comparison, enjoys the confidence of 11 percent. The presidency has the confidence of 36 percent.
Big business and organized labor score 19 percent and 20 percent, respectively.
"I was pondering why [the military], and it's because they're honorable," Becks says. "They'll do the tough things. They'll do them because they're the right things to do. And we still believe in them … generally speaking, they are the only things we still believe in, that and our religious organizations."

Unfortunately, he is still the most loved first black president ever. He even overstepped Bill Clinton in that category.
Our Military is the backbone of our Country. If it wasn't for the Military, then Freedom, Economy and Public Opinion would not be an issue. One could say we would have Iraq in America.
I cannot wait until Obama's administration is over, but I can only hope that the next President will have all of America in their interests, not just special interest groups.
And this is news. "Political talking head says something outrageous to get you to watch/listen to his show in order to sell more ads"
I think it would have been a better article if it actually backed up the claim of it's header, "Obama Admin'Most Corrupt of all Time'".
I expected to see a list of corrupt items conducted by the admin. I've read the article in it's entirety and found that nothing. Only that Beck has an opinion.
Well, if Glenn Beck thinks so...

Really? Seriously? Do you love Obama that much?
this would be true if by forever he means the last two years. he has a long way to go to beat the wartime corruption of george bush and the war criminal dick cheney
The military is the backbone of our country?
Wow.
Unbelievable. The military is supposed to serve us. They are supposed to protect us. It is our Constitutional Form of Government that is our backbone.
The military is supposed to protect and serve the constitution.
I didn't need Glenn Beck to tell me this. On second thought maybe I did, because if it wasn't for him and the few others who expose the truth, I would stll be as ignorant as most other people in this country. The state run media would have never said it.

It must be working. Next weekend you have a TON of people going to Washington. They are running out of buses in some towns.
11:40 Your tag line is like your thinking.....very confused!
3:34 The Constitution is supposed to be our backbone, but read the post on Salisbury News at 11:17 a.m. and tell me that on a daily basis the far left is not trying to take our constitutional rights away and make new laws in order to further their agenda.
So yes, the military is the backbone to keep this Country safe until this Country takes a stand and takes back their rights. How soon will Obama remove the military from its duties and make this Country less safe?
ANON 1:21, since you asked,
¿Yh8? has no love for any Reps or Dems. Both parties have been documented to have an over abundance of corruption within their ranks.
Being as you quoted my remark in it's entirety, I'm surprised you hadn't noticed that I was constructively criticizing the article - not the subject. As a reader, I was left wanting to know more.
