I stopped giving this nut ball the time of day when in August 2010 he did a broadcast on the Mound builders of the Ohio Valley. It was so rife with fraud and lack of journalism I could not trust anything he said since. It wasn't that he could be right on anything after that but that if he possessed such a willingness to be dishonest then I don't have time for him. Got better things to do with my time.

That is a difficult leap.

Beck went full-retard, on his own. He never backed-down from his anti-Trump rhetoric, said Hillary could be trusted in office more than Trump, and left the reservation.

Other LDS folks, including the Romneys in Michigan, who handed Michigan to Trump. And Hatch, and Bishop. Hatch was one of the first of the establishment, alongside Sessions, to support Trump.

And Hatch never backed-down from his support of Trump during the election. Trump, has sicked his interior secretary on the monuments in Utah to reduce their size to return the favor to Hatch.

Mental illness and going full-retard is not unique to one religion or another. Beck left the reservation on his own.

Trump elevated a Romney to head the RNC after his election to return the favor he was given in Michigan... Ronna Romney McDaniel fought tooth and nail for Trump in Michigan as the head of the Michigan Republican Party. In return, Trump nominated her to head the Republican National Committee...

Trump never really needed Utah. But he did need Michigan to win. An LDS Romney played a significant leadership role in helping Trump win Michigan...

Beck is off the reservation, and deserves no comment.

Bi-polar asshat cut his own throat. Go hold hands with Samantha Bee Glen. 

That said, he did have a brief window of his career (loosely 2007-2010 IMO) where his shows aired some quality topics that previously would have never been aired on mainstream television.

GB's personal net worth balanced out by massive debt and leased office space and overhead.  All I can say is someone that gave him a loan for a few mill just to keep him afloat.  Look up and research some lawsuits by former high ranking employees.  His biggest mistake was pushing the blaze and moving to TX.

I listened to Beck from day 1 when he was on one station WFLA 970 in Tampa. He was good back then.  Went off a little during Bush years then bat shit crazy the last 9-10.

He will commit harry carry IMO,

That is about right...

His show would come on about the time I got to the gym back then. I remember folks commenting on things he had said, and it spawned positive conservative discussion among us folks in the weight room...

He really attacked the establishment. He really attacked "progressives."

I remember there was a massive spike in folks wanting to read conservative books like, "5000 Year Leap."

He got folks talking about food storage, preps, and guns.

All good things.

Then something happened. Mental illness? Who knows... He left the reservation... I do not trust him. He is like a former addict. It is nice that they say they are sober. I won't judge them. Good for them. But I still don't trust them completely. Too many lies along the way.

If he had a problem with alcohol, I'd wager that now he has a problem with benzodiazapines. I think on some level, he knows how wrong he is...might be driven by insurmountable stubbornness to double down on it, hoping for the chance to say "I told you so."

Always struck me as functionally insane and passionate, reminded me almost of a pacifist version of myself. But it looks like the functional part of that drive and insanity is gone now.

Add in the possible skeletons in his closet, it's well known that bribery and threats are primary weapons of the people we're up against. Same people who probably killed Scalia and flipped Justice Kennedy.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up dead from "natural causes" in the future, if he was actually compromised. The people who do those things aren't known for having mercy or caring for the human tools that they obtain.

Could be legit bonkers, but there could also be more to it that we'll never know.

The Blaze at one time was decent, I even subbed for a few months,  it's sad what happened to him and how he destroyed what was built.

For those up to date on Beck....what are his thoughts about Trump now?

Trump has been a lot closer than presidents past about being who he said he was and working on keeping promises. I would be curious if Beck has owned up to being FAR more wrong about him than right.


I was never a "fan" but I certainly thought he was in the same zip code as to how I feel about a lot of things.  Sure, he had a lot of obnoxious and overboard schtick for the sake of entertainment and ratings. (I also think he believed a little bit of his fear)   I could listen to his show a little if that was all that was on and I wished him well.  However, how he acted about Trump after Trump was the nominee left me with a strong case of "fuck Glenn Beck."

He despises Trump. He will acknowledge when Trump has done well than spend an hour talking about how it doesn't matter and is decisive and you should compromise with Samantha Bee, ANTIFA, The Muslim Brotherhood and Nancy Pelosie. Then spend an hour talking about principles.

I wish I had heard that one, just so I could develop my own opinion.


For me it was the teddy bears, soccer balls, and cereal for MS-13 illegals a couple years ago.  And the whole line of how we must reconcile with our enemies.   How do you reconcile or compromise with those who want to destroy america?   For a man who used to talk about standing by your principals, that was not something I cared to listen to, and I think a lot of other people and advertisers were of the same mind.  That is when I went from being a regular listener to tuning in for about five minutes or less, and rejecting everything he was saying and being twisted and nonsense.
The final straw was how he was on the Trump is a russian agent, even before the democrats were.
I saw a few moments of him on his TV show interviewing someone, and he had an even creepier vibe to him than ever.  Like a cult leader.  (And pat and stu are the wosrt sort of ass kisser employees ever, and sycophants)
I think its possible that one of the things that worked into his mind with his rising popularity is that he should be kingmaker, literally.  And when his plans began to be rejected by the nation and even his audience, he didn't re-evaluate his position, he went even more full retard.  At its root is the mental illness that seems to inflict his entire biological family.
And he did say on his radio  it was a voice who told him to change direction.  Mohammed heard voices too.  And that's worked out so well.

I was a regular viewer, listener of his radio show, fan.

Once Fox kicked him loose I got a Roku so I could sign up for The Blaze.

Some Air Force guy can comment about Meagain's brick-like trajectory and the slow descending crash she is involved in. As bad as Beck's position is, she is stuck working in an environment controlled by others and surrounded by many who hated her before she made the transition, knowing that it is only a matter of time until the bosses pull the plug. She doesn't have a friend there, and people she reached out to at Fox for advice basically shunned her after her antics there. She is the definition, "if you need a friend buy a dog".

I have no joy in his failure.  He was an iconoclast -- nothing short of brilliant.  I watched his FNC show every evening.  I learned a lot about progressivism, and how early in our country's history it started and was thoroughly entertained at the same time.  He was hilarious, acerbic and educational. I followed him to the Blaze when he started his network.  He was one of the first to do live streaming of an evening lineup of shows.  He was very good then, too.  The first night I watched his show on the internet, I knew cable was dead.

As time went on, he became much more preoccupied with religion.  I didn't hold that against him, because the Mormon Church brought him back from the abyss.  While I don't share his devotion, I can appreciate that he considers it the central element of his life.  But he abandoned the thing that made him great.  The passion -- the showmanship -- the intensity -- were in short supply.

What really caused me to abandon him was the NeverTrumper thing.  I supported Cruz, too, but I never thought that DJT would be the end of the world.  On the other hand, I thought that HRC WOULD be the end of our country, after eight years of BHO.  So, okay, your guy lost.  Now get on board and save the country.  He couldn't do it.  And his obsession was so short-sighted.  How great would it be to have RBG retire and TC confirmed as an associate justice?  I would rather have TC there then as president.

Glenn was great.  Yes, he was a rodeo clown.  But you underestimate his perception and wisdom at your peril.  He was an original thinker in an era of conformity.

His vainglory messiah complex has done him in.  From the article, he almost sounds like Jim Jones.

I haven't listened in well over two years. I would listen to him if I was in the car when his show was on. However, I got tired long before the political campaigns began. I don't recall when, but it was around the time  he began giving teddy bears and soccer balls to illegals that I started tuning him out. The Pat and Stu clown show also made it difficult to listen.  The Blaze website turned into click bait and gave my computer gonnasphyaherpalaids.

I believe his irrational antics was instrumental in sinking Cruz's presidential campaign. He initially alienated a large percentage of his audience by his continued venomous 3 hour daily semi-deranged disparagement of Trump. I knew it was over for Cruz when I saw that Beck "swore him in" and declared he had prayed for another George Washington and Cruz was it.
