    I don't agree with every single thing every talk show host says. However the Glen Beck show is actually fun to listen to - they all have a good sense of humor and play off each other good comic effect.
    Beck hates the shit out of Trump that is true. But the guy (and like I said his side-kicks too) is pretty witty and funny.

    that might be closer to truth than we'll ever find out. Up until...somewhere between 2006 and 2008, Beck was probably the best of the right wing talkers. I mean yeah, he was a full on conservative of course, but was a reasonable sort and much more wiling to go a little more "real" than the standard talking points than the rest of that crowd. I was a fan. Even as my views shifted, I wanted to believe he was basically a decent guy but it was like he had joined a cult or something, and here was the dude I wanted to respect going all batshit.

    I don't know what caused it, or if he's truly over it or not - maybe it was really all about money or maybe it was something else.

    Better late than never :shrug:

    It's honestly refreshing to hear anyone from either side admit they were wrong in this election.

    I'll admit, I was wrong, I never thought Trump would make it this far. I thought for sure the Bush's would pump so much money and influence that nobody else stood a chance.

    I have a soft spot for beck at the blaze. He was intolerable at faux news, but as a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist he seems mostly harmless. Aside from if you are working for him, and in that case you really missed the obvious end result of employing way to many people for a vlog.

    I'd like to believe the change of heart is real. Like you, there was a time when I thought Glenn Beck was a decent human being who just liked to employ hyperbole a little too often. Then he just went off the fucking rails. So yeah, I hope this is a genuine appeal from him, but it will take time before I'm willing to entrust him with any credibility.

    Didn't he go blind or have ovarian cancer or something? I thought he was long dead from his ailment of the month.

    How could you tell?

    I think I would be a better conservative commentator than half the guys they have on FoxNews and the "FoxNews blonds"
