Glenn Beck's The Blaze is enforcing 20% layoffs on its staff, a major sign of distress, all the more curious because the election of Donald Trump pretty well showed how significant the potential reader base out there might be. After all, most conservative websites are either doing well, or holding their own in the current tough media environment. Breitbart doesn't seem to have any trouble hiring new people, as the re-entry of Steve Bannon and maybe Sebastian Gorka can testify. Breitbart has also been expanding its overseas operations. The Wall Street Journal editorial page has been hiring, the Daily Caller...

Former Fox News firebrand Glenn Beck said of President Trump’s newly revised travel ban that he agrees that an Islamist threat exists, but he criticized the White House, Congress and the media for failing to explain the difference between Islamists and Muslims. In an interview with Alex Wagner on CBSN Thursday, Beck, a prominent never-Trumper who supported Ted Cruz’s presidential candidacy, said that the vast majority of Muslims in America are “no different than Catholics or Mormons.” An Islamist, on the other hand, believes “that the Koran supercedes the Constitution or any country” and the country must be run by...

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck issued a prediction Monday likely to shock many of his listeners: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will manage a five-point victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton come Nov. 8. “The race is over,” Beck said during his syndicated program. “It has to be over, right?” asked co-host Stu Burguiere. “The race is over … Trump is going to win this thing,” reiterated Beck, who has fiercely opposed the GOP nominee. According to Beck and Burguiere, while Trump was likely trailing Clinton by eight points just one week prior, the reopening of Clinton’s FBI investigation has likely...

Beck argues that the DNC isn’t a government institution – it’s a private one, and there should be a certain expectation of privacy in turn. “Nobody has a right — that’s like breaking into IBM and Apple and just releasing all their documents. You don’t have a right to do that.”

Glenn Beck is officially done with Ted Cruz. After famously backing Cruz for President Glenn Beck is now disgusted with Cruz's recent flip flop endorsement of Donald Trump. Beck completely lost during the interview while grilling Cruz over his decision. Beck now says he should have backed Marco Rubio. Listen to the full interview below and let us know what you think.

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

In a recent speech to a group of conservatives, I made what I thought was a relatively uncontroversial point about the commonalities between Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter activists. I thought this was a simple idea, but the criticism was immediate and sharp: How dare I try to understand the “other side”? But as people, wouldn’t we all benefit from trying to empathize with people we disagree with?

Glenn goes over some of the game changing campaign promises President Trump made and kept.

Glenn Beck, the staunch Never-Trump radio host and founder of The Blaze, announced on Friday that he is supporting President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election bid. TheBlaze ✔ @theblaze .@glennbeck has heard ENOUGH from the mainstream media. It's time to acknowledge everything @realDonaldTrump has done for America. 2:20 PM - May 18, 2018 2,192 1,409 people are talking about this Beck said his decision to finally support the President came after watching the “dishonest and corrupt” media mischaracterized Trump’s comments, in which he described MS-13 gang members as “animals,” on Thursday. “Media, if you can get me, Glenn Beck, to do...

For the past couple weeks, the "Who Killed Hannibal" meme has been doing the rounds. You've probably seen it. It's a two-panel meme. In the first panel, Eric Andre is shooting Hannibal Buress. In the second panel, Andre is looking at the camera and asking, "Who killed Hannibal?" As described on "KnowYourMeme." The scene became an object labeling exploitable image macro in 2018 in which the characters are labeled differently and Andre's line of dialogue is substituted with variations of the phrasal template 'Why would X do this?' It represents the denial and victim-blaming that many people or institutions use...

<p>Right-wing pundit Glenn Beck has put his private plane up for sale.</p> <p>The outlet surfaced the news through a listing for a DC9-15 on Controller.com and Federal Aviation Administration records. The Daily Beast reported Beck's radio company, Mercury Radio Arts, purchased the aircraft for $1 million three years ago and that the conservative media figure had previously held onto the plane despite financial struggles at his companies.</p>

It looks like we may soon see a merger of two of the most well-known Trump-skeptic news sites.According to the The Daily Beast, the billionaires behind Ben Shapiro’s The Daily Wire are currently in talks to buy Glenn Beck’s conservative media empire TheBlaze. As the Beast noted in their piece, the Wilks family funds Shapiro’s site and are looking to “to expand their holdings in conservative media.” They previously looked at Breitbart, but a difficult relationship with Rebekah Mercer prevented that from occurring. Shapiro didn’t exactly deny that talks are underway regarding the potential purchase of TheBlaze. Per the Beast:...

The fracking billionaire brothers behind Shapiro’s Daily Wire website are looking to expand their conservative media holdings—that seems to include Glenn Beck’s crumbling empire. BETSY WOODRUFF LACHLAN MARKAY 02.12.18 3:35 PM ET The people who head Ben Shapiro’s conservative news site are in talks to buy Glenn Beck’s troubled media empire TheBlaze, The Daily Beast has learned. Two sources familiar with the conversations said this appears quite likely, though the deal isn’t final. Reached for comment, Shapiro—who heads The Daily Wire, which is eyeing TheBlaze—did not dispute this report.

I was listening to Glenn Beck this month and he had an interesting topic. He said something is coming that is going to change everything as we know it and that he would explain what it is after the commercials. He said that with new AI technology it will be simple to make fake videos and fake audios showing anyone saying anything or doing anything. Unlike Photoshop, no expert could ever tell the difference from real videos. He said that since there are so many videos of him out there that it will be very easy to make a fake...

Remember the case of the Census worker who was found hanging from a tree with the word ‘fed' scrawled across his chest? You remember - he died at the hands of right-wing commentators and anti-government tea partiers. He was killed because of an overwhelming case of right-wing paranoia. He was murdered by Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Bachmann, and Fox News. Keep this quiet though... While the death of Bill Sparkman was a media sensation for pushing anti-conservative sentiments just a couple of months ago, it is receiving little to no coverage currently. Why? Because, as investigators have recently speculated,...

On last Friday’s edition of the Glenn Beck’s radio program, former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly doubled down on claims about the existence of an audio recording of an anti-Trump individual offering “$200,000 to file sexual harassment charges against then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump.” "Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly is predicting a huge onslaught against President Trump in January based around fake accusations of sexual assault as Democrats panic that Trump’s chances of re-election are surging. Warning, “There’s going to be a tremendous assault on President Trump” beginning in January, O’Reilly says Democrats now feel they must go all...

When Operation Underground Railroad founder Tim Ballard looks at the latest artwork by conservative political painter Jon McNaughton, he gets emotional. Painted into “The Underground Railroad” are Ballard and his wife, depicted carrying children they helped rescue from sex trafficking.

For more reasons that you might expect, I think we should all be thankful for the President. I know I am thankful. President Trump is not perfect. He was not my choice to be President. But I am thankful for him in many ways.

Chancellor Angela Merkel's open-door migration policies have set in motion a self-reinforcing cycle of violence in which more and more people are carrying knives in public — including for self-defense.

In 2010, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) voted to appropriate the sale of mining company Uranium One, to Russia’s nuclear agency, Rosatom, thus handing 20 percent of US uranium supply to Russia. Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on CFIUS when the committee unanimously approved the Uranium One deal. Information has recently surfaced showing that Russian officials routed millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation prior to the the Uranium One deal. Of course, there is a whole lot more to this sticky situation. As Glenn says, by way of introduction in the video above,...
