“I’m not willing to do this anymore,” he says. He leans over, drops his head as if in penitence and pronounces himself riven with regrets. Now, at 53, Beck sees a nation of people who are at one another’s throats, and he blames his language, his meanness and his assaults, his constant selling of the idea that the other side was evil and that his side had the one true answer. He believes that his radio show and his TV shows and his rallies on the Mall paved the way for the incivility, intolerance and general indigestion that now plagues...

I was recently listening to radio host, Glenn Beck, and he proudly announced that he cries really often as if it is a badge of honor. I have noticed there are many men who like being seen crying in public: Bill Clinton, Schumer, Boehner, Anderson Cooper, my former pastor. I have not known many men to cry in public, well my former roommate in college, but we always made fun of him when he cried. I was raised that crying for something other than a death in the family for a man is not the thing to do. Perhaps I...

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck is mounting a defense of American Muslims, warning that failure to differentiate them from "Islamists" could lead to an "internment camp situation." Muslims in the U.S. are “no different than Catholics or Mormons,” Beck explained in an interview with CBS's Alex Wagner when asked about President Trump's revised travel ban on six Muslim-majority countries. “We could see some sort of internment camp situation. ... We could head someplace we’ve been before, and we don’t want to go again,” he said, referring to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Monday morning on “The Glenn Beck Radio Program,” Dana Loesch called in to discuss the topic of abortion with Glenn Beck, Pat Gray, Stu Burguiere and Jeffy Fisher. Glenn began by joking that some women might want the right to abort children in their “terrible twos,” to which Dana responded, “Do other women have the right to abort women who whine too much?” Glenn then asked Dana for her thoughts on abortion and the right to life provided in the Constitution. Dana replied, “The position that I’ve always held as a limited-government conservative is that it’s completely not hypocritical (to...

There’s a reason why it usually doesn’t end well when a kid goes straight from a life of party and privilege to the bright lights of a professional sports career. They have no clue how to handle the responsibility of fame and fortune. Just look at the fall of Johnny Manziel. There’s a reason why it usually doesn’t end well when someone mired in unemployed poverty wins the lottery and lands in the lap of luxury. They are oblivious about how to maneuver the challenges of money and power. Just look at the depressing case of David Lee Edwards. And...

Outspoken Trump critic Glenn Beck praised President Trump’s proposed federal budget on his radio show Thursday, declaring himself “pro-Trump” after highlighting the president’s proposed spending cuts. The radio host gleefully read out a list of some of the agencies and programs Trump’s budget would cut, including the Corporation for National and Community Service, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the National Endowment for the Arts, and so on. “And my favorite: The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars,” he said, concluding the list. Beck, who has written and spoken extensively about his dislike of President Woodrow Wilson, joked with his co-hosts...

Former Fox News firebrand Glenn Beck said of President Trump’s newly revised travel ban that he agrees that an Islamist threat exists, but he criticized the White House, Congress and the media for failing to explain the difference between Islamists and Muslims. In an interview with Alex Wagner on CBSN Thursday, Beck, a prominent never-Trumper who supported Ted Cruz’s presidential candidacy, said that the vast majority of Muslims in America are “no different than Catholics or Mormons.” An Islamist, on the other hand, believes “that the Koran supercedes the Constitution or any country” and the country must be run by...

Republicans complained and moaned about Obamacare when they didn’t have control of the White House. They actually put together a bill repealing it, which passed the House and the Senate only to be vetoed by President Obama. So why are they pushing a watered-down version now rather than a full repeal? “Look at what that reveals about Republicans. When they knew that there was no chance of getting it through they passed a clean Obamacare repeal,” Co-host Stu Burguiere said Wednesday on radio. “Now, the second they have a chance . . . all they have to do is pass...

I just listened to a few minutes of Glenn Beck, and he predicted that 2018 the Democrats will have the biggest landslide ever because we can see from the number all of the angry democrats appearing at townhall meetings that they are clearly imitating what the Tea Party did in 2010. Your thoughts?

A small group of high-profile conservatives who vociferously opposed Donald Trump's candidacy for president and never fell in line are facing anxious times now that the self-declared vengeful Trump has taken the reins of the most powerful government in the world, The Atlantic reports. Conservative talk radio host Glenn Beck, who says Trump is "dangerously unhinged" and has appointed some "disturbing people" to his inner circle, said he lives in fear of death threats he's received from the president's supporters. As a result, he now travels with two bodyguards. "It is not fun," Beck said. "I don't cherish it, but...

I know @GlennBeck is a wacko lately, but he is reporting: mission successful. Caribbean. 32 kids rescued and 8 traffickers arrested. Details and confirmation forthcoming. #SuperBowlRescue

Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck brawled over his inflammatory rhetoric on Trump, his support of Ted Cruz, what he’s learned from the election, why Clinton lost and why he thinks Trump should be given a chance. The interview starts off with Beck denying he said Cruz was “anointed” by God to be president. Beck said, “I never said he was anointed by God to be president of the United States. I do believe that people are called, all of us are, you’re called for your job, I’m called for my job, all of us are called for a specific time....

The conservative broadcaster whose star turn at Fox News made him a household brand for divisiveness explains his apparent change of heart First question: Who are you and what have you done with Glenn Beck? I’m still the same Glenn Beck. I’m interested in talking to people after the election to say to the left, The way you’re feeling right now, I understand. And to the right, Please don’t mock or dismiss the real fears of people on the left. They’re just as valid as the fears that you had with the last President. We made it through. And we’ll...

"I watch you. I believe you actually don't want to do damage," Beck told Bee. "As a guy who has done damage, I don't want to do anymore damage." Samantha Bee invited Glenn Beck on Full Frontal in an effort to reach across the aisle, wear Christmas sweaters and get to know somebody with a completely different audience than her own. "Glenn and I put on our Christmas sweaters and got to work on healing the nation," said Bee in her introduction, where she talked about how Beck has recently been reaching out to the media to "apologize for his...

Samantha Bee and Glenn Beck admit they are “strange bedfellows.” But the liberal “Full Frontal” host and the controversial conservative radio commenter are uniting for a common cause ― the fight against “Trumpism.” In an interview broadcast on Monday, the pair revealed what their respective audiences thought about the other. (Spoiler: It was not positive.) Bee then explained why she was speaking with Beck, who has described Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as “cyanide,” and repeatedly spoken out against president-elect Donald Trump. “I think that our future is going to require a broad coalition of non-partisan decency,” said Bee. “It’s not just individual people...

Beck said, “Sincerely, has she had a brain aneurysm? Because I don’t know what has happened to her.”Discussing her “crazy” endorsement of President-elect Donald Trump, in a high pitched mocking voice Beck impersonated Palin saying, “I love him. He’s great and I can see him from my kitchen window.”

Earlier this year, when Steve Bannon was still running the right-wing website Breitbart and transforming it into an arm of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, Glenn Beck warned that Bannon was a “horrible, despicable human being,” likening him to Adolf Hitler’s propagandist Joseph Goebbels. A few months later, when Trump tapped Bannon to serve as a key adviser to his campaign, Beck raised the alarm again, declaring that Bannon was “quite possibly the most dangerous guy in all of American politics.” Now that Trump has announced that Bannon will serve chief strategist and senior adviser in the White House, Beck issued...

TheBlaze founder Glenn Beck extended an olive branch to President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday, telling his radio audience that he would call Trump and offer his support.

He stood in complete opposition to him during the Republican primaries and even opposed him in the general election, but just hours after Donald Trump won the White House, conservative radio host Glenn Beck extended an olive branch to the president-elect, pledging to “support” him in the days to come.

Just wondering. He must be blubbering pretty hard today.
