I couldn’t get past the crybaby thing.

I am eternally grateful to Glenn for having me on and sending “Patriot’s History of the US” to the moon in sales. He made it a NYTImes #1 bestseller in less than 2 weeks.

It’s a God thing-—we came on at EXACTLY the time that he had 3.5m nightly viewers, his peak. No one else, not even Oprah, could sell a book like an appearance on GB.

Then he went out and did his best to get Hillary elected by attacking President Trump non-stop...

Remember when he stuck his face in Cheetos...

Back in 2017, the only “conservative” commentator out here during the morning commute was Glenda, who was constantly bashing Trump when he wasn’t crying about something or other. During the afternoon drive time, we had Mark Levin, who bashed Trump when he wasn’t talking about his dog. So I switched to music.

Glenda was soon gone from the local airwaves, and even though Levin now backs Trump, I prefer Larry Elder and other competitors.

Patriot's History of the US holds a prominent place on my living room bookshelf.

I remember him showing up as Ted Cruz’s sidekick at the southwest border in summer of 2016, where they handed out soccer balls and Teddy bears to illegals’ children.
Then Ted went on to become a most gracious loser, or maybe not.

Yes. Getting Glenn Beck back on TV with his chalk board in that time-slot would be Perfect!

Agreed. Because of that show, I dubbed Beck the best futurist that is on cable or free tv. He was the first one that brought many of the issues with radical Islam and a caliphate to the public awareness. What he predicted usually came true.

You misread that event,

Not sure if that is true.

But if it were, the misreading was all on the part of Cruz not me.

The OPTICS completely overshadowed the speech and it backfired mightily.

Politics 101, NEVER go to the border to give a speech because the border is ALL about OPTICS not words.

Of course, Rafael Jr.'s political missteps are legendary, like taking the podium at the 2016 RNC Convention to NOT endorse Trump.

was a good effort

Do self-proclaimed conservatives/libertarians give out participation trophies or is it just a liberal thingy?

No it didn’t, it had the media listening to the message, the videos included Cruz and his putting out his message, it wasn’t just images of him giving something to kids, remember the fight over DACA, and this is the guy who wanted to build a wall and ran on it in 2012.

I remember the controversy… I think mark was mad that he would kill himself writing scholarly books while Glenn put out conserva-fluff “the ReAl UhMuRricA” kinds of slick processesd cheese 3 times a year, with the help of GHOST WRITERS.

it seems they made up if that means anything…

Oh, no kidding. When we set up to publish “A Patriot’s History of Globalism,” Steve Bannon, who is part owner I guess with Skyhorse books, implied we’d get 70,000 sales. Not even remotely close. Bannon did not move the needle.

But neither did Hannity or D’Souza or anyone else. Only Beck, and only at that particular time.
