Duck Dynasty on TheBlaze has a nice ring to it, according to Glenn Beck.
One day after Phil Robertsons comments about homosexuality earned him an indefinite suspension from the hit series Duck Dynasty on A&E, Beck offered the entire Robertson family a place on his own network.
[All the other networks] will fold to pressure, he said. They will all fold to sponsors. They will all fold to money because they are all in over their eyeballs are debt the only reason why Phil was put on hiatus and not the rest is because it is a money-printing machine.
Beck said as he sees it, the Robertson family has a choice to make.
If I am in the Robertson family, I sit down with my family and say, Is this the way were going to [let] him be treated? Is this who we are? Are we going to [be] quiet because he has an opinion about the scriptures?

Beck said that based on what he knows about the family, theyre not going to continue as though nothing happened. He went so far as to suggest that the entire family call GQ Magazine, where Robertsons comments appeared, and tell them nothing but, I agree with Phil.
You will either be out, or you will be the most powerful people the country has ever seen on television, Beck said. You already have all of the juice youre ever gonna get And if you take a stand and they fire you well be on the phone.
We would be proud to have you, he added.
Beck concluded: May I suggest: Make your stand. You will never have a better chance. And quite honestly, youre our best shot as people. If we dont get people to wake up to the fact that this is fascism, that we are not allowed to have another opinion
theyre never going to wake up. And youre our best shot.
This could be the tipping point where state-controlled media loses their influence forever.
Beck’s self-promotion is disgusting. All he can think about is how to get his cut out of this and improve his own bottom line. This isn’t the time for him to offer his open sales pitch to the clan.
Did I do that?
