Glenn Beck told a studio audience last week that he thinks the United States is on the verge of total collapse and/or tyranny and he’s making preparations to move his entire operation to another country, preferably Israel, so he can continue broadcasting. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass, pal.
This is hilarious video of Alex Jones ranting about how Glenn Beck is trying to steal his identity like the pod people because he supposedly does a segment on his show that’s similar to one Jones does. It’s the kind of unhinged rant we’ve become accustomed to from Jones.
I think Donald Trump is a dangerous buffoon. Glenn Beck does too. But Glenn Beck, who is like grown up version of an emo kid who makes every single thing overly melodramatic, cracks me up when he goes off on these rants about how he will never bow, he’ll never lick the boot, he’ll stand up and be counted. Like this one, on Facebook.
Glenn Beck, who continually declares himself to be a prophet after making vague predictions and then claiming they came true years later, has now made a very specific prediction and we only have to wait one year to test. He’s predicting that President Obama did not, in fact, give his last State of the Union address on Tuesday, that he will insist on giving one before he leaves office.
This is hilarious. On Friday, Glenn Beck and his partner Pat Gray invented a whole conspiracy theory about Obama making a statement from his press secretary disappear from the internet, all because they are bad at basic internet research. It involved a statement from Josh Earnest that more stringent background checks for gun purchases would not have prevented the attack in San Bernardino:
Oh, Glenn Beck. I love you so much. Without you, my life would be so much more boring. I’d laugh so much less because I would miss out on hearing you give advice to parents with college kids coming home for Thanksgiving. He’s giving them “ammunition” to inform their kids, should they be taking part in any protests against campus racism, that they’re “working hand-in-hand with ISIS.”
Earlier this year Glenn Beck was so upset by a boycott of Dolce and Gabbana by liberals that he declared that they were leading us “back to the Dark Ages, back to the days when differing scientific views were labeled heresy and black magic,” the equivalent of putting Galileo under house arrest. As usual, though, that only applies to liberals. Now he just loves him some boycotts.
Wingnuts love to claim that the people they support have been “raised up” by God for some grand purpose. As they filmed a documentary at Glenn Beck’s TV studio for the Cruz campaign last week, Beck said he was just overcome with this powerful feeling that God had done this with Ted Cruz, that Cruz has been “raised up for this purpose at this time.” Of course, his audience agreed with him.
Glenn Beck doesn’t like Donald Trump, and for good reason. And as in most things, he turns a personal dislike or grudge into an existential threat. Anyone who disagrees with him or doesn’t like him, or vice versa, obviously wants to shut him down, destroy him, throw him in a FEMA concentration camp. If Donald Trump is elected president, Beck says, he’ll work tirelessly to shut down Beck’s show.
Glenn Beck went on one of his typically angry rants on his show Friday over the prospect of Paul Ryan replacing John Boehner as the new Speaker of the House. He’s particularly furious with those members of the “Freedom Caucus” — that is, the Tea Party extremists in the House — who are saying they’ll support Ryan. Why? Because, Beck says, not only is Ryan not a real conservative, he hates conservatives.
Gloomy Glenn Beck is back, folks. He’s got the melodrama machine and the tears cranked up to 11 after a Ten Commandments monument was removed from the Oklahoma state capitol. For some reason, he also reads out of an article from July about the Baphomet statue unveiled in Detroit (on private property) and thinks it happened “last Saturday.” And he says we’ll soon beg God to destroy us to escape the “evil we will bring to this earth.”
