Bill O'Reilly already has his own podcasts, "No Spin News," which is a feature available to his paying subscribers. Now, he is joining forces with fellow former Fox News commentator Glenn Beck.
O'Reilly and Beck have two things in common: they both served as conservative political commentators on Fox News programs and they both have podcasts. Now, according to The New York Times, O'Reilly revealed that he will be joining Beck on his podcast, "The Blaze," every week.
"We're going to do that every Friday until Beck gets tired of me," O'Reilly said in his podcast. "It's a good outlet for me to, you know, discuss things back and forth with Beck, who's a good friend."

Neither one was ever conservative
This was already explained to you
That was before Beck went off the deep end as a NeverTrumper. Do you think O’Reilly has paid attention to Beck’s spewing during and after the election? I always thought O’Reilly’s coverage of President Trump was pretty unbiased and I often got the impression that he liked him.
“Id also like to hear about some way to freep on a cell phone but that is just icing on the cake.”
Are you joking? You not knowing how to use your cell phone is FR’s responsibility? I prefer not to use my cell phone because of the small screen and ‘auto correct’ but I do when I have to like when I am away from home.
How long has Beck been off Channel 125 on Serius? I was scanning the other day and discovered a new show in Beck’s time slot. Happy to see it.
Beck and Ted Baxter??? Now there’s a match!
I think O’Reilly is disappointed at how little attention his podcasts are getting. So, he wants a platform with more visibility.
Too bad it’s this one. I think on balance, it’s a bad choice for him.
Bill is blind. It took a long, long time for him to find the evil that is BO’B. Dennis Miller appeared on his show early in BO’Bs presidency and attempted to tamp down Bill’s expectations, sharing the skinny on the Muslim boy. Bill balked at such. At times Bill can’t see the forest for the trees.

This is good. Now there is only one show/site that I have to avoid rather than two. Makes my life simpler.
Peaches and Cream
Cheech and Chong
Orange and Brown
Beans and Franks
"Franks and Beans!.....Franks and Beans!"
We got this one kid, Mongo... He’s got a forehead like a drive-in movie theatre, but he’s a good ship. So we don’t bust his chops too much. So, one day Mongo gets out of his cage...
Yes, he had Glenn on occasionally. They’re good friends.
First time we’ve ever disagreed. I’d like a new guarantee that FR can be kept running for a reasonable amount of $. How would our donations keep FR running, if they do not? Doesn’t it seem fair to know that?
Each of us has to come to terms with the decisions we make.
I came here on February 6th, 1998. I was 45 years old at the time. At 45 years of age I had already learned that I can’t control everything in life. If I value something, I have to be willing to accept the realities as they are.
This may sound harsh, but it’s the reality of the situation simply put down in words. I’m not telling anyone else what to think. They may think my reasoning is silly or juvenile. That’s okay. I don’t object if they do.
Some years, I’ve paid nothing here. Several years I donated $1,100 to $1,200 dollars per year. Generally I try to hover around $400 per year.
For this I get access to a lot of information. I get to try to be the voice of reason. As often as not, I may wind up being the voice lacking reason. That’s for others to determine.
When FR goes down, I really miss it. I have to search other sites and hunt and peck. Our usual suspects aren’t there. It’s just not the same.
I could not do a better job than Jim does on the forum. If I were him folks would think I was a tyrant. He shows a lot of patience. Even when there were folks who needed to go, had I been in charge I would have sent more packing.
I don’t make demands. I don’t focus on the negative. I don’t focus on how donations are spent, or where those funds go.
I haven’t been motivated to look at the budget report once in all the time I’ve been here.
Others have to come to terms with their own thoughts and the realities that confront them. I understand that.
Hey, the world isn’t perfect. Humans will be humans and they’ll see things differently from time to time.
My response to you was intended to give you access to the information I knew was available. I tried to do it in as neutral a way as possible. I had no ulterior motives and didn’t mean to send any negative message.
Part of what you asked for could only be provided by Jim. I didn’t know the answer.
I have always liked you and hope this helps you to know where I’m coming from on this.
I’m not making any judgements here. You have a right to see things how they look to you. I’m not here to give you a hard time over it. I’ve only explained what my thoughts are, but they aren’t the only valid thoughts out there.
Take care.

I have never once questioned any FR budget or checked on it or anything. If anyone deserves to be a millionaire off their internet efforts, its JR and not DisneyCollector (makes unboxing videos of toys for toddlers). I wish him nothing but success.
I honestly thought we might get some form of a thread after that last breakdown of specifics how it can be forever prevented. I was willing to pony up both for the freepathon AND any special expenditures.
It’s not my website and I don’t want to make demands. I just want to donate what I can (and like you, on my good years they get a lot, and my bad years where I have trouble making ends meet they don’t) and always have it online.
But ads are ads, and now you are making some on the threads, so I turned to you, my dear friend, and complained that the ads are not truthful. The same Keep the Lights on theme when donating apparently wasn’t enough to keep the lights on, and you’d think either that amount would be enough to get that guarantee, or there could be a different funding for the “thingamajig” (my tech knowledge is lacking) that WILL guarantee FR has no multi day failures. It seems doable. And not seeing this plan makes me not want to donate. I might still donate but I want to LESS with no explanation as to how we the FReepers can help prevent such a breakdown.
Thank you for your comments. I understand where you are coming from.
I do want you to know that my only posts soliciting funds are the pencil posts, and once in a while some cartoons.
It’s not my case to make claims about what the funds will achieve, or what they go to pay for. I’d be out of place to do that, because I am simply volunteering to help Jim.
I try to pitch in so that our Freep-a-thons don’t stretch out to the point they run into each other.
I’m trying to get it so that we have about 7 plus weeks in between them. If we can get away from the 9 week runs, the place will be a lot more relaxing.
I appreciate you explaining things.
Take care.
You’re a great guy and I still remember loving your leadership with the bullhorn on Wilshire after the W election fiasco. No worries. Remember my baby in the stroller sleeping through the Freeping? He is 20. What?? Lol
I hope JR lets us know how we could
