Since he left Fox News in 2011, Glenn Beck has been mending old wounds, apologizing for some of the things he said on Fox and trying to find common ground with liberal media personalities like Samantha Bee. But after repeatedly condemning candidate-and-then-President Donald Trump, Beck isn’t extending any olive branches. He has a simple answer for Trump supporters who have stopped watching his videos or listening to him on the radio. “I say this with all humility: I don’t care,” Beck said on the latest Recode Media with Peter Kafka, recorded live at South by Southwest. “Right is right, wrong...

The Blaze founder Glenn Beck on Monday took to Twitter to question whether one of the most popular television hosts on his network was intellectually honest. Beck was criticizing Tomi Lahren, host of TheBlaze TV’s “Tomi.” Lahren has been criticized in some conservative circles after a Friday appearance on ABC’s "The View" for revealing that she supports abortion rights. “You know what? I’m for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well,” Lahren said. On Monday, Lahren tweeted that she has “moderate, conservative, and libertarian views.” “I'm human. I will...

“I’m not willing to do this anymore,” he says. He leans over, drops his head as if in penitence and pronounces himself riven with regrets. Now, at 53, Beck sees a nation of people who are at one another’s throats, and he blames his language, his meanness and his assaults, his constant selling of the idea that the other side was evil and that his side had the one true answer. He believes that his radio show and his TV shows and his rallies on the Mall paved the way for the incivility, intolerance and general indigestion that now plagues...

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck is mounting a defense of American Muslims, warning that failure to differentiate them from "Islamists" could lead to an "internment camp situation." Muslims in the U.S. are “no different than Catholics or Mormons,” Beck explained in an interview with CBS's Alex Wagner when asked about President Trump's revised travel ban on six Muslim-majority countries. “We could see some sort of internment camp situation. ... We could head someplace we’ve been before, and we don’t want to go again,” he said, referring to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

I'm curious of the demographic of who still listens to Glenn Beck. He used to speak Republican when they were much more united. After repeated betrayal by the establishment, millions of Republicans grew angry at the GOPe and began railing against them. Beck rode the anti-establishment wave preaching about how he was so much against the establishment. Finally, the ultimate anti-establishment candidate appears, and Glenn Beck has used most of his entire radio show time to speak against Donald Trump, even to the point saying "voting for Hillary is a moral choice." Today, I heard him on the radio for...

Oh my gosh!! Beck goes completely nuts in this video. It's a must watch. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_57e9ce67e4b024a52d2a1071

Glenn Beck is one of America’s most influential commentators, and we need to help him save face while abandoning his “Never Trump” vow. “My children” is the primary motivator Beck lists for refusing to endorse Donald Trump now that his favored candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz, is out of the race. “Trump is the face of the GOP. Well, that makes us… pretty racist. It makes us big government guys. …I’m none of those things. …and I refuse to have my children think that I tolerated that.”Beck sounds perplexed. He claims a moral stand against Trump for the sake of his “children,”...

In the conversation, Brad speculated on the absolute worst case scenario imagined by people about Trump — that of him acting like a dictator with a feckless Congress who won’t stand up to him just as they have not stood up to Barack Obama.

Glenn Beck used to talk about harboring respect for Marco Rubio, but now that Rubio has basically thrown in with Donald Trump, Beck tore into Rubio yesterday over what he deemed as a betrayal. Rubio has indicated in various Twitter spats over the past week that he’s behind Trump by default because there are no other good options to take down Hillary Clinton. But that’s not good enough for Beck. He wrote, “Can you have any credibility when you said one thing on the campaign trail and then the opposite after. Were you lying to us then or now Marco?”

One thing for sure now that he’s created ‘Cheetos Face’, he’s no longer drinking the Kool Aid, he’s wearing it. Is You Ok, Glenn Beck, “IS YOU?” Yo, Glozell Green! Did Glenn Beck swipe your cheerios bathtub stunt when he plunged his face into a bowl of Cheetos dust to mock the color of Donald Trump’s face on Friday’s radio show? Big Government’s budding department ‘Who’s the latest minority’ is bursting to know. Should Glozell, the married Los Angeles-based video blogger, of the trademark green lipstick, who starts each of her videos with a cheery: ‘Hello! This is GloZell! Is...

Guess What Makes The Cut As A 'Smart Snack' In Schools? Hot Cheetos Flamin' Hot Cheetos might conjure a lot of descriptors: spicy, crunchy, unnaturally fiery red. But it's a good bet that "healthy" didn't exactly spring to mind. Yet it turns out that those fiery Cheetos beloved by school children (some kids even made an epic rap paean to Hot Cheetos a few years ago) actually qualify as a "Smart Snack" under revised federal nutrition guidelines for schools. The Obama administration rolled out the new guidelines last year in a bid to limit the amount of junk food kids...

John Boehner epitomizes all that is wrong with the Republican Establishment. Boehner has thwarted every plan to overturn or ameliorate the most heinous aspects of Obama's neo-tyrannical rule. These days, I like to call Boehner Crying Cheeto. That is because he is an odd orange- or yellow-color, and cries at the drop of a hat. Boehner started, seemingly, on the right track. He was helpful in engineering the Contract with America in 1994, which helped propel Newt Gingrich to the position of the Chairman of the House. He quickly turned, however, and was involved in an unsuccessful attempt to unseat...

GROVE CITY, Pa. — A boy who briefly escaped from a Grove City juvenile detention facility apparently had the munchies. State police in Mercer say the boy, who isn't being named because of his age, escaped from George Junior Republic near Grove City by hiding next to a tree on Monday night. Once he was in the clear, police say the boy walked to a nearby Wal-Mart where he stole a $3.49 bag worth of Cheetos about 11 p.m. Police say staff at the juvenile reform school found the boy walking near the store's parking lot and returned him to...

Police didn't have a hard time finding three teenage burglary suspects who allegedly broke into a St. Paul recreation center last week. All they had to do was follow a trail of Cheetos. A witness told police that she saw Michael Bady, 18, Jesse Fairly, 19, and a 17-year-old boy drop a bag of chips as they ran from the Arlington Recreation Center to a nearby residence around 1 a.m. on July 29. Police checked the rec center and found that glass on a vending machine had been smashed. The machine's contents were missing, according to a criminal complaint filed...

How about telling us all your age, gender and location. Also, if you want, who you like in the upcoming presidential primary.

Saddam Hussein still believes he is president of Iraq, is obsessed with cleanliness, makes bad coffee and loves Doritos, an ex-guard has revealed. The deposed leader, set to face trial for massacres and killings during his time in power, also washes his clothes and cares for birds in his prison yard. US National Guardsman Sean O'Shea, 20, gave GQ magazine in the US a unique look into Saddam Hussein's daily life. The former president was captured near the city of Tikrit in December 2003. Despite officially being in Iraqi custody, Saddam Hussein is guarded by US troops at a secret...

Just an observation as I've been following the news today. The "credible" threat NYC mayor Bloomberg acted on today, by increasing the police presence and bag checks for all NYC subways, was subsequently downplayed by the Bush administration. The the situation was "spiced up" later in the day, when a suspicious-looking coke can (yes, coke - not Pepsi as you might imagine) was identified - prompting the closing of an entire section of the NYC subway. Fortunately it was discovered that the coke can meant no harm and it was all a misunderstanding - this after the can was inspected...

UNITED NATIONS -- The U.N. Security Council had detailed knowledge of how Saddam Hussein was violating U.N. sanctions, but was so divided that many violations went largely unchecked, according to documents released Tuesday by a congressional panel. The committee's divisions and Saddam's sanctions violations were widely reported starting in the late 1990s and until the program ended in 2003. But the documents released Tuesday, which include U.S. memos and reports on committee meetings, provide a more comprehensive picture of the political dynamics at play and the difficulty in enforcing sanctions. Saddam "cleverly exploited" sanctions in a variety of ways, granting...

<p>Santa Cruz, California police pulled over a car with tinted windows — a no-no in California — last September, reports the Santa Cruz Sentinel. Inside they found two men and 18 ounces of "Purple Haze" brand marijuana worth about $3,000.</p>

U.S. Attorney To Represent Cop in Pot Seizure Case The U.S. Attorney's Office will represent at least one of nine police officers cited for contempt of court for not complying with a Routt County Court order to return medicinal marijuana to its owner. The drugs were seized during a search of a Hayden man's home in mid-October. The case has highlighted a conflict between a voter-approved state law allowing medicinal use of marijuana and federal laws that do not permit such marijuana use. Jeff Dorschner, spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's office, said his office represents the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency...
