I used to be a regular listener and bought some of his books and really thought he was a smart guy. Some of the time he is still sharp and on topic. But a lot of the time his radio show is an embarrassment. He and his sidekicks scream and laugh and carry on about the break down of society and the end of the country in an entirely irrational manor. I generally have to change to another station after just a few minutes. It irritates me because a lot of people think that Beck represents conservative views and he seems to be crazy.
I would like to believe he has been coerced into destroying his own reputation by malevolent leftists who have some how gotten to him. But it is far more likely that the adulation of his followers caused his narcissistic personality to short circuit.
I believe a “false” prophet can still predict some true things. We’re just not supposed to worship him.
