It is hard not to like Glenn Beck, at least to some degree. I rarely listen to him except now and then when I am on the road. Possibly going long periods without hearing what he has to say gives one some perspective.

While one can easily sympathize with much of what he says, I will have to say that in recent times, he:
  1. Is far less entertaining than he once was. The humor element seems to have suffered.
  2. He seems to be getting further and further “out” in his philosophical underpinnings.
My guess is, though, that he really isn’t terribly interested in commercial success. One gets the feeling that he would let it all crash and burn entirely if it enabled him better to get his message out the way he wants it out. One can admire that.

B- - - S - - - or more politically correct FAKE NEWS!

I listen to Glenn Beck and he is very accurate on what is happening in this world. He also uses humor when the subject matter lends itself to it.

He said media is changing and his company has to change with the times. He outlined some new things to expect this month. I am sure his Mercury One has been on the scene in South Texas and I think he just returned from rescuing more Christians in the Middle East a week or two before that.

My cable provider has Blaze TV which is how I start my day watching his radio program. He has other shows on throughout the day I enjoy too.

I don’t always agree with him 100% of the time especially when it comes to politics.
But I still see some humor. He is serious and concerned about the troubles of the
world.

Glenn used to be funny, witty, and politically right on. What has happened is that some personal issues have stolen the humor and he made political enemies on all sides so, the right is mad at him and the left is too. Plus his let’s all just get along schtick is so fake it makes me want to vomit.

Yes, sometimes he can sound really corny. I had read he was letting go of 20% of
his staff. Earlier this year they were predicting his company was collapsing.
There was the incident with Tomi Lauren (who just got hired by FOX).
However, this morning it just seemed like he is going in a new direction. I didn’t see
all of his show this morning so I don’t know who has been let go or what all the changes are. He did give a date of September 18th.
 
He started out here in CT on radio. Even then he was known to exhibit bipolar traits based on interviews with former collegues.
 
Beck is a legit pro-life conservative who rightfully warned America about what would happen if 45 got elected. He warned America - he stood by legit pro-life conservatives like Ted Cruz (rallied for Cruz, IIRC.)

His predictions came true.

All legit pro-life conservatives owe him a debt of gratitude.

Thanks for resisting 45, Glenn Beck-! 👍

Sounds like hateful gossip intended to smear anyone who’s not on board with the scandal and chaos 45 brought to our republic.

Didn’t he start in Phoenix on CHR (Top 40) radio?
 
I used to like him a lot like four or five years ago, then he started running off the rails and got all spooky and emotional. I had enough of being around that when I was a kid.:rolleyes:

Actually, he is as disgusted about what is happening by the democrats as the rest
of us.

Beck is quite open about his emotional struggles and health. He is very emotional and at times, falls into conspiracy theory territory. He is “end of the world” type rhetoric.
I used to be a fan. I’ve paid money for his books, for his shows that I’ve attended.
He changes his politics like he changes his religion.

He is the boy who cried wolf.

I do think he is a good person. And I think he means well. I also think that there may be some underlying issues that shape his personality

I agree about the underlying issues. One morning he was in a really dark place. I
was surprised they didn’t stop the show and let Stu, Pat and Jeffy continue without
him.
I think he is a good person too and cares about our country and he loves history
and believes in charity.

I have not read any of his books.
