Right-wing pundit Glenn Beck has put his private plane up for sale.

The outlet surfaced the news through a listing for a DC9-15 on Controller.com and Federal Aviation Administration records. The Daily Beast reported Beck's radio company, Mercury Radio Arts, purchased the aircraft for $1 million three years ago and that the conservative media figure had previously held onto the plane despite financial struggles at his companies.

Who ever wrote this article does not know what right wing means.

Beck has ALWAYS been a pro homosexual marriage and pro marijuana advocate. He is also for full open boarders, supports the illegal dreamers. Remember when he took a huge bus to the San Diego boarder, filled with Teddy Bears and soccer balls, to donate to the illegals from Central America.

Who ever thinks Glen Beck is a right winger is a total imbecile.

Velour Interior? Gag...

If I’m in the market for a Private Jet, I prefer 757’s equipped with Rolls Royce Engines and Leather Interiors once owned by a U.S. President.

So you’re saying basically, is look at what low end freight companies are flying and then don’t buy that? :o)

And by the way, Airborne Freight was flying refurb’ed DC9-15s back in the late ‘80s.

Too bad, so sad.

I haven’t listened to Beck since Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls.

Yeah, he was already showing some indications at that time but that was about the point it was pretty clear something was up with him.

I had given up on him before he even hired Wilkow. (who I did like).

The sweater vests, the time pieces, the wimping out--I couldn't do it anymore.

He was over the target when he was doing the chalk board thing. I don't think he could handle the heat and, by then, all the financial pressures. I wish I knew the back story of what all really happened.

I try to catch Wilkow when I can.

Beats Limbaugh most days.

”Beck was on top of the world. . . until he started attacking Trump.”

I agree. However, I think the downward slide started when he coined the now infamous term, “birther”, and then proceeded to ridicule his own audience with it. Not a great move.

His ridiculous demonization of Trump and Trump supporters, though, was the straw that broke the camel’s back. He did some great stuff in his “chalkboard days”, but then went off the rails, fashioning himself a modern-day Walt Disney, followed by increasingly erratic behavior. The capper was opposing his own supporters. That never works.

Speaking of private planes, a good friend of mine had a business where they made ceramic sinks made not to crack and sold them to higher end buyers for their private jets. Donald Trump bought some for his private jet. Business was good until Bill Clinton’s first term where he successfully got taxes added to luxury items. Yep, my friend went out of business cuz of it.

Glenn Beck and Mark Levin are two of the reasons I started listening to audiobooks in the car. During the morning drive time, you had the choice of Beck on Sirius satellite radio or a couple of nonentities on the AM band. In the afternoon, it was Levin on Sirius as well as an AM station, and Beck on another AM station.

Within the past year or so, Beck has disappeared from the airwaves out here.

Seems like the first thing a Televangelist does is buy a plane with their donations.
The last thing the do is sell it.

The so-called list of lies is opinion or out of context and not lies.

The Left always calls anyone to the right of Mao a right winger. It’s their way of trying to label Conservatives as crazy.

The last time I listened to Beck was when he exposed the Cloward-Piven Strategy, which I thought was great because too few Conservative radio hosts actually “name” the tactics that the Left uses against us.

You don't get much plane for a million dollars anymore.

I just looked. You can get a ten year old King Air (twin, but not a jet) for a deuce.
