He was in trouble way way before his bashing of Trump I believe you had tried to tell him not to go in over his head when he first started this adventure right?
Correct. I date Glenn’s collapse from the minute he moved to TX. Not that TX isn’t great, and financially the tax situation was better, and of course the situation for his family was better.
But Glenn went to TX with Joel Cheatwood in charge of his television programming. Since this would be the largest money-eater, it was essential that it offer new shows that had appeal.
Instead, we got Beck and Dana Loesch on camera doing their radio shows. That is not “alternative” programming. I have heard from a pretty good source that at the peak of his subscriptions, he was still well over 100,000 short from just breaking even. His studio was pretty modern, with two large beautiful sound stages . . . that were never used. He had a dozen dressing rooms . . . that were never used. In other words, he way over-bought for what his operation was putting out.
I’m also convinced-—intuition, no proof-—that David Barton had a malignant effect on everything Beck did.
