Beck wants his readers to think like addicts. After all, he thinks of himself as a “professional drunk.” In real life, he is acquainted with alcohol — after what he believes to be the drowning suicide of his mother and stepbrother, he has said he turned to Jack Daniels for help. He is technically a recovering alcoholic and addict who also has ADHD. He credits Alcoholics Anonymous with helping him get sober.

“In his new book, the New York Times bestselling author challenges readers to think like recovering addicts to overcome America’s outrage addiction, partisan resentment and division,” the release states.

“With a nod to the traditional twelve-step program and drawing from lessons learned as a self-proclaimed former ‘professional drunk,’ Beck encourages readers to grow through self-reflection. He believes Americans are now less accepting and forgiving than in the past, creating a divide that may lead to the destruction of fundamental American ideals.”

The problem is he’s still talking. He is impossible to listen to.

Oh for pity sake. Americans don’t need to be told how to think. They are in the beginning stages of a revolutionary war. The left was allowed to get too big and their ideology too entrenched. Now the right, the patriots are trying to reclaim their country from the powerful, vile, evil left. It’s as simple as that.

Go away, Glenn. BTW...I see your ‘studios’ are looking rather ‘spartan’ these days.

He’s learned nothing. If he had, he’d be under psychiatric treatment and far from a microphone.

Who is Glenn Beck?

I remember years ago there was a funny guy on the radio with a name like that.
Then he went nuts.

Pretty simple, Glenn—don't pick up the bottle.

When Glenn started out he had some pretty good insights and observations. He is a prime example of how satan attacks people and lures them off the path.

In 2012, Beck said anyone opposed to Romney in the primaries was a Nazi. In 2016, he called Trump a Nazi and his voters “brownshirts”. Has he ever apologized for that? I don’t think so.

After he has lost ALL his money, I MIGHT be in a mood to listen to his claims.

But not before.

A FEW BLASTS FROM THE PAST:

“After Monday’s broadcast, with the news I now have and will soon disclose, you will wake up in a Republic that has been **fundamentally altered**..!!!”

(Monday comes, NOTHING new, and no explanation)

or:

“My doctors have informed me —forgive me, my listeners, this is hard for me to tell you— that I have contracted [insert horrible disease du jour]..!!!”

(profound audience shock/sympathy, weeks past with NO elaboration, his state of health apparently unaltered)

Sorry, Glenn, you only get to pull those once or twice.

Beck’s audience is 100% fools. He is entirely an actor and believes none of what he says.
