I have listened to Beck daily for five years or so. The wife and I went to DC. Singing Amazing Grace with a million Americans was one of the greatest days of my life. What Beck has done, from what he says, is pour his last success into his next idea. His recent project The Blaze I imagine is turning into A Bridge too Far. In this sense, he is really like Trump. Trump’s first run up, as I understand it from an interview I saw twenty years ago, was he leveraged everything he did against everything else. So, when the wind shifted the house of cards suffered. Hence his bankruptcies and restructuring. Apparently he has learned in the interval and through networking the relationships he made during his first run up he has a more stable foundation now.
Who knows, maybe in twenty years Beck can do what Trump has. I like the idea of The Blaze and we should have at least ONE place we can go for the truth .
Perhaps he has made the mistake of some corporations and forgotten his core mission. He was excellent at ferreting out and illuminating the stench and that was what made him. He seems to have migrated into “where we need to go next”. That didn’t really work out in the end even for Moses. It is hard, I suspect, to continue to do what you do very well for some. Perhaps some who have done very well at one thing believe they can do well at a number of things. Like Teddy said about the man in the arena. If a guy feels he has it in him he should give it a shot. If you lose everything in the venture, so what? Death comes for us all and takes everything anyway.
The first thing Beck needs to do is dump Pat and Stu. They are worthless....
I watched Beck a few times when he was on FNC.
I stopped when I realized that he is about
as manipulative as a Southern Baptist sermon
on Mother’s Day. Cerebral he ain’t.
His entire enterprise is failing fast as evidenced by the massive cutbacks and staff layoffs. Even the radio station that carries his program in the Dallas area is barely heard beyond the parking of The Blaze's facility in Irving. As I understand it, Beck is a big fan of Orson Welles. What's happening over at The Blaze is following the storyline of Charles Foster Kane's once impressive media empire.
I was there too. Well said. I wish Glenn the best. I learned a lot watching his show when it was on Fox, and I look forward to those kind of things from him again.
