Glenn Beck’s border message broadcast — en Español

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck plans to broadcast part of his show in Spanish for the first time Tuesday as a way to send a message on the realities of immigration to listeners in Latin America.

“[Tuesday] on my program I’m doing my first-ever monologue translated into Spanish directed directly to Latin America and South America, telling people this is what your kids are involved in and this is what’s happening,” Beck told Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly on Monday night during “The O’Reilly Factor.” “You’re risking rape, you’re risking kidnapping, you’re risking sex slavery, it’s awful.”

On July 8, Beck announced that he would be traveling to McAllen, Texas on July 19 with Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas) and faith leaders to administer aid to some of the recent influx of children that have crossed the border.

“If you go online … you’ll see that there’s a lot of people who are very upset because they think that I’m going to be encouraging people to come here and that’s not true,” Beck said of the public’s reception to his announcement to aid undocumented children.

He continued, “Now [the children] are here, so what do we do? Well, while Washington is arguing, I think we have a personal responsibility for mercy and to be there for them.”

Becks actions are not in a vacuum. ..between his pro gay rants and his and anti Bundy rants..

Beck has become a Progressive Libertarian....

Given that the Libertarian Party like the Progressive is 100% open borders..what do you Becks true the agenda is..

just to help or just to get them in?

From the article:

“[Tuesday] on my program I’m doing my first-ever monologue translated into Spanish directed directly to Latin America and South America, telling people this is what your kids are involved in and this is what’s happening,” Beck told Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly on Monday night during “The O’Reilly Factor.” “You’re risking rape, you’re risking kidnapping, you’re risking sex slavery, it’s awful.”

Breitbart called Beck a false prophet.

I started listening to this guy when he was on CNN. He did - IMO - a lot of light shining on the Muslims. When he jumped from CNN to FOX, I figured the CNN crowd were getting uncomfortable with his message and booted him out.

Started watching him on FOX and found it perplexing that he never continued with the Islam stuff. But I found what he was talking about interesting. However, I was also listening to Mark Levin and I started to notice that stuff Levin had talked about some weeks back, Beck was talking about it - as if it were his own stuff. At one point the advertisment for his program seemed directly ripped off from Levin's program - hear today what others will talke about tormorrow.

I then researched Beck a little and found out about his past. Specifically, his days as a shock jock and an alcoholic. I told my wife at the time that while I like him, there is just something about him I do not trust. He did not seem genuine to me - not like Rush or Levin. Like he was in it for the money, he figured that he could do the conservative schtick and make money. It seems he did.

I never really knew why he left FOX but it seems his schtick got old. He got caught in a couple of lies and I guess his ratings started to slip. If anyone can fill me in, I would appreciate it.

My wife asked me last night - after watching Beck on BORs program - if I agreed with what Beck is doing and saying. My reply - if he is spending his own money or getting donations to help these people, that's okay with me. But if he is advocating that the government step in, help these people, let them stay - which I believe he is doing out of his perverted belief of Christianity - than he is dead wrong. The leftists now love him - he seems to have turned into a big gov guy. And I wonder what Mark Levin now thinks after he patched things up with him on air.

which I believe he is doing out of his perverted belief of Christianity

Beck is a Mormon.

My impression is that he bounces around on a lot of issues in unpredictable ways. I find his radio show to be annoying... they seem to lack focus, and act stupid to pander to the lowest common denominator.

Again. .Mr Beck does not operate in a vacuum.

.he's move his position..he evolve. (Evolved are his words)

he started the year with his Mea Culp to the left...

He then want on to be 100% pro Gay marriage..and ranting about hetero fascists..

He then when on his anti Bundy tirades. .and defending Harry Reid.

He now a “Libertarian”..(his words)

He sees himself as the voice of the Libertarians.. and the party..

So do a thought experiment and as him a question

Mr Beck..your a Libertarian ...the Libertarian PARTY position is open borders. .so as a Libertarian Mr. Beck are you open borders? And why should I believe what you say as your reason at the border is to just help caution them back home vs helping open the flood across the border?

I do not believe he wants open borders - and I do not believe Lee, Gohmert, and Cruz would travel to the border and stand with a man that wants open borders...

Beck seems like a classic middle aged guy. He is constantly in existential crisis mode. At least every three months he is announcing how something inside him "has really changed" and he can not continue with XYZ or to look out for his next big world changing move.

Being his wife can not be fun. Well, the new found millions probably ease the burden though I can certainly see him losing it all.

The dude is unstable.

Please do not take the following sentence as an attack ..What we believe (really, what we want to believe) is many times irrelevant to the truth of the matter..

Again Mr Beck himself has proclaimed his postion is changing and evolution. .again his words...so he’s is actively moving his position..
rather rapidly

And he see the directions change as towards what he sees as “libertarian”

So you see something or someone moving rapidly in a particular directions..you can see when its headed no matter if you do not want to believe it

Truly in 2008 would you have believed when American would be in 2014?

In 2008 would you have believed Beck’s positions would be in 2014?..

so just do the math.. you can see Beck direction from 2008 to 2014. Just connect the two dots and draw a line .you could plot it on a chart is so clear..it speak for its self

Let's both agree with your statement and leave it at that...

Well, as a guy having already passed middle age and having been through it and all the classical foibles, I’d say that this isn’t just your normal middle-age crazy.

Frankly, if he weren’t a man, I’d swear he was going through “the change”, because I’ve been on the wrong end of that, too. Maybe there is a “change” for men?

However, given the lack of normal “change” medical condition for men, I’d say the man IS unstable as you opine, but I think he is also mentally imbalanced - seriously, in my opinion.

haha. With his out of control emotions, yeah, he’s definitely got an unhealthy amount of estrogen flowing through him at any given time.
