Like him or not, Roger Ailes built a ship at Fox News that could not to be sunk. Rupert Murdoch was part of that, but his children and wives hate Fox News. “They are embarrassed by the Fox News Channel. They’re not conservatives by any stretch of the imagination. And the big thing when I was there was, as soon as Rupert is gone, the kids are going to take over Fox News and they’re just going to clean house and stop this nonsense,” Glenn said Wednesday on radio. He also referred to Roger Ailes as a giant bear in...

Glenn Beck, and his conservative network, TheBlaze, have filed a counterclaim against firebrand news personality Tomi Lahren after she sued the organization for wrongful termination. In her lawsuit, Lahren claimed she was terminated because of her public pro-choice stance. Beck came back swinging in a 35-page counterclaim obtained by LawNewz.com and filed in Texas court on Monday. The countersuit states that Lahren was never fired from the network. Instead, the company says the network decided to bench her from air after a slew of bad behavior including Lahren’s mistreating of staff, and making public appearances without prior approval. In addition,...

FULL TITLE: Conservative Tomi Lahren Tries to Justify Supporting Abortion: “You Can Be Anti-Abortion and Pro-Choice” Popular young conservative commentator Tomi Lahren gave more details about her position on abortion this week during an interview with ABC News. Lahren came under fire in March after she said it was hypocritical to be both pro-life and pro-limited government, and called herself “pro-choice.” Lahren later was suspended from her show on The Blaze with pay. She now is suing her employer. “I believe you can be anti-abortion and pro-choice, and that’s where I sit,” Lahren told ABC News this week. “Personally, I...

Glenn Beck spoke with CNN’s Anderson Cooper tonight about President Trump changing his position on issues like NATO and China this week. Beck––who also weighed in on the behind-the-scenes drama regarding Steve Bannon––said that for a lot of people, Trump was their “last hope” because of how different he was from so many other politicians. And he wondered how all those people feel today. Cooper said that it looks like Trump is now embracing positions that he successfully ran and won against. “The president,” he added, “is on the verge of beginning to look like another Republican who said stuff,...

Tomi Lahren has filed a lawsuit against Glenn Beck and his online platform, TheBlaze, alleging wrongful termination. The conservative talk show host claims she was ousted from her program after she said she was in favor of abortion rights while appearing on ABC's "The View" on March 17. "I can't sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies," she said on the talk show. In the 27-page lawsuit filed Friday in Dallas, Lahren's attorney said nothing in his client's employment contract prohibited Lahren's...

Glenn Beck, who once opined that marriage equality would lead to social destruction, has changed his mind on LGBT equality. Riaz Patel, his new gay BFF, insists the transformation is sincere. The unlikely metamorphosis of Glenn Beck from nutty right-wing conspiracy-monger to rational-seeming defender of American democracy—and opponent of all things Donald Trump—has crossed over into a new frontier. The 53-year-old multimedia firebrand and self-described “catastrophist”—who shocked and possibly alienated his dwindling fan-base three months ago by forming an anti-Trump alliance with lefty satirist Samantha Bee—is these days spending quality time with a Pakistani-born, politically liberal, gay, Muslim television producer.

In 1988, at the swearing-in ceremony for Anthony M. Kennedy, now a senior Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, President Ronald Reagan said this: The role assigned to judges in our system was to interpret the Constitution and lesser laws, not to make them. It was to protect the integrity of the Constitution, not to add to it or subtract from it — certainly not to rewrite it. In his usual manner, Ronald Reagan said it well and succinctly. The role of the Supreme Court is to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States...

Since he left Fox News in 2011, Glenn Beck has been mending old wounds, apologizing for some of the things he said on Fox and trying to find common ground with liberal media personalities like Samantha Bee. But after repeatedly condemning candidate-and-then-President Donald Trump, Beck isn’t extending any olive branches. He has a simple answer for Trump supporters who have stopped watching his videos or listening to him on the radio. “I say this with all humility: I don’t care,” Beck said on the latest Recode Media with Peter Kafka, recorded live at South by Southwest. “Right is right, wrong...

Beautiful Blonde Conservative TV Host Tomi Lahren Fired From The Blaze For Her Pro Choice Stance!

The Blaze founder Glenn Beck on Monday took to Twitter to question whether one of the most popular television hosts on his network was intellectually honest. Beck was criticizing Tomi Lahren, host of TheBlaze TV’s “Tomi.” Lahren has been criticized in some conservative circles after a Friday appearance on ABC’s "The View" for revealing that she supports abortion rights. “You know what? I’m for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well,” Lahren said. On Monday, Lahren tweeted that she has “moderate, conservative, and libertarian views.” “I'm human. I will...

“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...
