Glenn Beck’s Farewell Address to His 40 Laid-Off Troops… from His Pretend Oval Office

In a special video posted to his website today, Glenn Beck addressed news reports of the latest mass layoffs at his troubled media empire.

According to a report yesterday in the Daily Beast, Beck laid off 40 employees of his Blaze media organization “in order to satisfy the requirements of a multimillion-dollar bank loan taken out recently to keep Beck’s revenue-challenged enterprise running.”

As the Daily Beast noted, “This latest round of mass firings comes as no surprise to insiders at The Blaze and Mercury Radio Arts, which laid off dozens of employees last May on a day referred to internally as ‘Black Monday,’ around the same time that Beck was purchasing a private jetliner and a $200,000 Maybach sedan.”

Personally I wish he had remained neutral and not endorsed any candidate. I’ve enjoyed his shows very much and have learned much from them. His research staff was excellent and the various shows based on their research resulted in some excellent informative shows.

[Fitzy_888]

To be clear, I don’t begrudge anyone’s success.

That said, many times have you heard Beck talk of the founding father’s “...risking their fortune and sacred honor”?

Meanwhile...

“....around the same time that Beck was purchasing a private jetliner and a $200,000 Maybach sedan.”

That’s what you politely call incongruence.

Are you saying Cruz didn’t take money from Goldman Sachs and then lied about it?

[EDINVA]

You give Cruz too much credit!

[Liz]

Didn’t mean to.

I'm sure those layoffs were made after careful consultation
and prayer with Glenn's little spiritual squeak toy:

Are you saying Cruz didn’t take money from Goldman Sachs and then lied about it?

In 2014 Goldman Sachs contributed $3,500 to Ted Cruz...

That's hardly a lot of money...

For the campaign, Cruz borrowed against their investments, with a margin loan from Goldman Sachs, the lack of complete disclosure was hincky, on purpose or in error is hard to tell...

Bottom line they were loans, you know like you pay them back or forfeit your investments...?

He was not not taking money from GS...

The actual facts are easy to find out...

[mkjessup]

Well Pops, you make Cruz sound like a pretty shrewd and intelligent guy, so maybe you could shed some light as to why such an intelligent fella would make a total fruitcake like Glenn Beck an integral part of his campaign, and if that were not enough, choose to make one of the Queen of RINO’s (iSnarly) his ‘VP’ choice?

If he can’t run a campaign any better than that, he deserves to lose.

And guess what?

He is.

[Popman]

No problem oh omniscient one, Nothing will be proof for you :D

Thank you bestowing deity on me, but I'm just a regular guy...

All I'm looking for is "proof" like a unaltered photo, timestamp and dated video, signed affidavit, testimony under oath, anything legally binding as evidence ...that Ted Cruz was having multiple affairs...

Come on, cough it up...

It was on the internet, so it must be true...

Otherwise the man was being smeared and demonized...

[faucetman]

“The Big question is what happened to Beck. He went off the rails somewhere and sadly seems to be someone who needs help.”

Beck heard voices in his head. Glenn thought it was God. Glenn thinks that God has anointed him a modern day prophet.

THIS is when Glenn went bat$hit crazy. I am totally serious.

Somewhere in the dark, hidden recesses of Glenn Beck’s hidden sub-sub-sub-basement, there’s a specially commissioned plush doll made to look like Donald Trump. At night, Beck spanks himself with it, sobbing disconsolately all the while. ;)

[wintertime]

It is also a damn shame because I would like to see others start Internet based “TV” stations. Hopefully, Beck's downturn will not discourage others from trying.

I see the Internet as being the next best opportunity to break the choke hold on the news that the Americans can see, read, and listen to.

[wintertime]

Yep! Levin, too! He is unlistenable.

I've worked closely with a lot of senior, C-Level management, and heard all variety of speeches for various occasions and communications. and that's the worst, most unprofessional speech I ever heard from someone supposedly at the top of the company. Virtually always, people who reveal that kind of lack of talent, ability and skills, are weeded out long before they get to the C-Level. Which makes you wonder how the hell...Carly....oh...the female card and affirmative action...Where was I:

If I worked there for Beck, after the speech I would immediately go back to my desk and update my resume, ask an admin to box of my things and ship them to my home, return my IPhone, IPad, company credit card(s) and building entry card, and resign as soon as possible (presuming my severance package could not be improved by negotiation). This is the kind of thing that can taint a cirriculum vitae for an entire career, forever associating you with this debacle, if only by association.

After giving his speech from his oval office and firing many people, Glenn Beck got into his $200,000 Maybach sedan and drove out to the airport and got on his private plane then headed home to his mansion..........

[Popman]

Well Pops, you make Cruz sound like a pretty shrewd and intelligent guy, so maybe you could shed some light as to why such an intelligent fella would make a total fruitcake like Glenn Beck an integral part of his campaign,

Well, it was perplexing to me...as well

Beck is a loon and Cruz not dropping him like a anchor certainly made me evaluate Cruz as a candidate...

I guess Cruz thought Beck and all his warts brought something to the campaign...

I'm at a loss to tell you what that was...

[mkjessup]

Well Popman, I can empathize with you because I started out as a gung ho Cruz supporter myself, and even after Trump entered the race, I was proud to echo and believe in the same position as our Esteemed Founder, which was that it was 'Trump or Cruz', all the rest were are amnesty pimps!' (actual JimRob quote, and a tagline of mine), I thought that Trump-Cruz or even Cruz-Trump would be an unbeatable ticket, but Cruz made so many ill-advised decisions that I too, had to re-evaluate my support for him.

I specifically remember watching a video of Ted Cruz engaging a bunch of Code Pink protesters who had attempted to shut down one of his rallies (regarding the Iran deal) and I was impressed with how he went one-on-one with them, showing them respect (that they really didn't deserve) but eliciting respect from them in return, and I judged his skills of persuasion and debate as being significant.

But the wheels really did start to come off with the addition of Glenn Beck, and that led to even greater disappointments, and if you or anyone should doubt it, it was within the last few days I seriously posted that I thought we should all be praying for Cruz because the pressures he must be under have to be unimaginable.

This isn't the first time that conservatives have been let down by their candidate of choice, I remember Congressman Bob Bauman of Maryland who was a real conservative's conservative, he was a leading voice on the right, everything seemed to be going his way, and then he got himself arrested for sex with an underage boy, turned out he was a disgusting peter-puffer, lost his Congressional seat, his wife left him, his life went right on down the tubes, and I recall the shock, astonishment and disappointment THAT triggered.

It's unfortunate that it seems to be a tradition to elevate our candidates to near Godhood and I'll be the first to admit that some Trump supporters are just as guilty of that as any other supporters, but Trump, Cruz and any other political figures are still just mortal men, I think Ronald Reagan personified how not to let all the praise and adoration go to his head, and it didn't.

You have my respect Popman. And if you see me post things which may not be too friendly regarding Ted Cruz in the final run up to the convention, don't take it personal. I wish MANY Cruz supporters could look at things with a clear and unjaundiced eye was you obviously have.

Have a good week FRiend.

An omniscient point-of-view is to know everything that can be known about a character, including past history, thoughts, feelings, etc. In Latin, omnis means “all” and sciens means “knowing”.

TRUST ME, I KNOW GOD AND YOU’RE NOT GOD!!!

[Popman]

Do you have a reading comprehension problem...

Where did I say I was God?
