Actually, I think that Beck is ending his television show for very personal reasons. He is an intelligent man, and well connected beyond what any of us could hope for. He knows as fact or falsehood many of the things we merely speculate on. I suspect that he’s come to the conclusion that knowing what he knows, he can no longer safely continue to live in and raise his family in New York.
New York has proven to be not only a terror target, but a solidly blue state that insists on sticking its head in the sand and pretending reality doesn’t exist.
If something bad happens - say an Iranian EMP attack on America in 2012, New York will be uninhabitable.
Beck can move his family to a better (safer, more sensible) part of the country and still do his radio show.
That’s what I think, anyway.
You may be correct. Two weeks ago, Glenn made reference to the possibility of an EMP attack....the only time I’ve heard him address this very likely scenario.
New York City would be the LAST place a reasonable person with a family would choose in that event.
He could also still do his TV show from the "safer, more sensible place," if safety is the issue. (Palin, for example, has a TV studio in her house in Alaska.) The real reason that Fox has canceled Beck is because his show has suffered a significant decline in advertising revenues.
“an Iranian EMP attack on America”
There is a risk Iran sponsoring biological, chemical, nuclear, dirty bomb or even suicide bombers. There is little to no risk of them having a successful EMP attack.
Actually, his house is easy to locate on Bing Maps.;-)
His house had been for sale in CT for a while, and he talks about a ranch/ gentlemen farmer senario when he waxes poetically, It wouldn’t suprise me if he buys mega -acres next to Ted Nugent in Texas or some other state that is business friendly / or state tax freeand end up moving Mercury Comm. close buy with a studio @ home like El-Rushbo does, more time with the wife and kids....
