In case you haven’t caught the Glenn Beck Show daily on Fox over the past 2.5 years or on radio here is a little review as Glenn moves to on, to a new adventure. Glenn’s last show for Fox aired on 06.30.11, immediately followed by an interview and question & answer hour with Glenn on his new network GBTV… the Network of Tomorrow, Just a Day Early (their motto).
Immediately below, while Beck was on vacation in 2010; ending with an event in Anchorage on 9/11 with Sarah Palin, The Glenn Beck Show, hosted by Judge Andrew Napolitano and guest Dr. Alveda King (on Friday) put together a review of the highlight information from the show through the Summer of 2010. The 5 five shows as well as the 8/28 event can be seen below, if you missed any part of them. Enjoy~

Glenn is fairly quiet and very protective of his family, for good reason, and is always surrounded by a security detail. Although he does kid about his wife, Tania who he credits with saving his life, a bit on air and on stage and proudly mentions his kids now and then. Unfortunately in today’s world you can find out at least the basics on just about everybody, including Beck, even if they preferred that you couldn’t. Beck loves his children dearly and they are obviously, at least in part, the inspiration for his passion. But other than the protectiveness of his family, Beck is pretty much an open book. (There is a great story that Bill Schultz from Fox’s Redeye tells about stepping off the elevator on the 18th Floor when Beck’s show was up there. He has you rolling in the aisle in minutes as he explains how Beck’s security team questioned what he was doing up there… If you know who Bill Schultz is, its probably even funnier!).
His Executive Summary lists him as a conservative TV and talk radio host. His fans would call him a friend and describe him as quick-witted, well-informed, an independent thinker, a good Christian (raised Roman Catholic and now a Mormon or LDS) and someone who cares deeply. Glenn grew up in Mount Vernon, Washington, suffers from Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), so his shows are always fast-paced. And his staff will you that he is hard to keep up with. His friend and Fox associate Bill O’Reilly has asked him more than once, on air, whether he ever sleeps. Beck and O’Reilly did a series of successful live shows around the country together to mostly sold out houses. Sarah Palin has called him "America's professor of common sense". He is a Mormon with self-described libertarian leanings, big on conservative politics and traditional family values.
Beck is a recovering alcoholic and drug user who still has back pain from an injury incurred when, intoxicated or high, he tumbled through a window. This past year, or so, Glenn has suffered from eye problems and has been diagnosed with macular dystrophy, that he announced at his American Revival event. He is a self-made man, who has hit rock bottom and picked himself up to reach sky, someone who most average people can relate to in one way or another.
So before moving on to the updated portion below, I guess my greatest question to put out there is: “Why?” Why do so many people both fear and hate Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and a list of other conservatives without really knowing much about them, what they stand for or even why they think they don’t like them?!?
The answer… the propaganda they have been fed by the mainstream media (MSM), Hollywood and the left in general. Most people, unless they subscribe to the far left ideology of the powers that be, both in our government and the media right now, they quickly find out if they do a little research and reading that what they’ve been told generally isn’t true and that they can actually relate to, agree with and even like Beck, Palin, the tea party, etc. and the principles they believe in to help save our Republic, freedom and our values.
Beck did his best to give us the Big Picture from his perspective, to inspire us (like with his trip to Wilmington Ohio) and then he encouraged us to educate ourselves and to question everything and everyone, including him. So, what is there in that to makes people hate and attack someone… and their family… other than the fear that he was/is right?
Updated… 07.09.11
Glenn Beck said goodbye to the Fox News Channel and his hit show on Thursday, airing his final show before going into business for himself. He told his fans that he was determined "to his last breath" to fix this country and fight for freedom.
He followed that final Fox show with an immediate show for subscribers to his new Network: GBTV, where he will begin streaming a daily 2-hour show on the Internet on September 12, 2011. Beck’s own two hour Internet show is only a small part of the overall GBTV plan, much of which is still to be announced. Beck was interviewed by Raj Nair, out of San Diego, who he just hired the week before.
At the GBTV interview, Raj asked Beck a series of questions sent in by viewers. He was then asked about GBTV and some of his other new ventures and how he can keep his ego in check. He said the purpose of all his new projects was to help others attain freedom and a positive world vision. “I don’t want it to be about me,” he said. “That was the vehicle that got us where we are to be able to do the things that we have to do. I don’t want it to be about me.”
Beck urged his critics not to underestimate him as he moves forward. "You will pray for the time when I was only on the air for one hour a day," he said more than once.
Although the left and the MSM kept trying to feed everyone that Beck’s ratings were down, he continued to lead in his timeslot to the very end. Glenn Beck Averaged 2.175 Million in his Final Show Cable News Ratings for Thursday, June 30, 2011 - Glenn Beck averaged 2.175 million viewers (542,000 adults 25-54) in his final episode. While up from recent history, far off his highs when he cleared 3 million viewers. Still, Beck was second on Fox News to only The O’Reilly Factor for the night (2.54 million viewers, 559,000 A25-54). As Beck said himself on that final show, “I'm the only host who is supposedly the most dangerous person in America because of my influence and the least influential person in America because my ratings are supposedly declining.” During his peak, Beck’s show averaged 2.9 million viewers each day at 5 p.m. ET and 2 p.m. PT Many people watched Beck online, which couldn’t be counted in the ratings but increased as time went on and no doubt affected those ratings at least somewhat.
It was reported that Beck's relationship with Fox soured over control issues in the final months, and both sides seemed happy his show was ending. What the real story was, we will probably never know. But Beck warmly thanked Fox News chief Roger Ailes during his last show, saying he was the smartest man he'll ever work with, a partnership put together on a handshake we are told. Beck, his advertisers and Fox have been under attack by the left since Glenn has been on air. And just 2 weeks after Beck left Fox, there has been a discovery that White House E-mails Show Anti-Fox Bias and the leftist (Soros group inspired) anti-Beck bias and campaigns have surfaced and been obvious to anyone paying attention!
Beck’s finale was vintage Beck, a continuous monologue while walking among his signature chalkboards and old props. He took some shots at critics, inspired and promised fealty to his fans, came close to tears but didn't succumb and even poked some fun at his image.
He chided frequent critic Jon Stewart of Comedy Central. Beck showed a picture of Stewart's large writing staff and brought out his lone two writers as a comparison.
He threw in a causal told-you-so: "Two years ago we said there were going to be problems in Greece. Nobody paid attention."
"We tried to teach you things to help," he said. "I'm a dad, too. I want my country to be around. What we have been trying to tell you lately, over the last year, is that you are the answer. We must have faith, hope and charity in our hearts."
Beck said he was going to Israel this summer "in search of courage" and no doubt to inspire some. Beck stands strong In Defense of Israel
He and his family and part of the Mercury Radio Arts staff headed to Driggs, Idaho at Huntsman Springs (Jon Huntsman Sr. is Beck’s good friend and mentor) for a mini-4th of July vacation and event, after which he was headed to Poland and then to Israel.
Glenn was in Poland filming part of an upcoming documentary and has some incredibly moving — and horrific — pictures and stories to share including being inside a Nazi Germany picture.
His Israel event. Restoring Courage, is a follow-up to last year’s Restoring Honor event in D.C. And beginning Monday 7.11.11 he is doing his radio show from there. (1st Hour: Here)
Glenn is also slated to speak at the Christians United for Israel summit in Washington, D.C.Tuesday night 07.19.11 (Added 7.20.11: Beck’s keynote speech was amazing. He boldly stated, If the world goes down the road of dehumanizing Jews again, “then count me a Jew and come for me first.” See: ‘COUNT ME A JEW AND COME FOR ME FIRST’ VIDEO OF BECK’S MOVING KEYNOTE ADDRESS AT THE CHRISTIANS UNITED FOR ISRAEL SUMMIT. Beck has also had to change the location of one of his Israel Events because of security reasons.)
He tried to explain why he was leaving Fox after 29 months, and showed a picture of Jack Paar, who unexpectedly left NBC's "Tonight Show” after being on the air for six years. He said he wanted to be more than a commentator and that he was not running away from anything. "I'm running to something," Glenn said, “before I lose my soul!”
"This show has become a movement," he said. "It's not a TV show and that's why it does not belong on television anymore. It belongs in your heart. It belongs in your neighborhood." It belongs in the heart of patriotic Americans will to link arms and stand together for the Republic.
Glenn’s focus is on doing good, saving the Republic… saving freedom… saving the world and helping people one person at a time, one town at a time, one state at a time, one country at a time. GBTV is a platform for everyone to connect and connect their ideas. He signed off with his signature phrase… Good Night, America!
Beck later told an Internet audience on GBTV that he had hired a "community organizer" on Thursday to help pull together citizens who agree with his point of view.
As Fox and Beck headed for their divorce, Beck set up his own diversified business. He makes speeches, writes books (both fiction and non-fiction and a children’s book), has a daily radio show and owns the website, the Blaze, along with GBTV , which is run by a former Fox executive. He has also started an non-profit venture called “Mercury One”. Beck will sell access to GBTV for $9.95 a month, or $4.95 for those who only want to see his nightly show. GBTV promises to be much more than a TV platform on the Internet, but rather ‘the network for the tomorrow, a day early’.
Beck sold his home in Connecticut and has just leased a home in the Westlake area of Dallas, owned by baseball player Jorge Piedra and Swarovski heiress Vanessa Piedra. He also had to give up his apartment in New York, provided by Fox News. But he is thought to still own an apartment in Manhattan, at least the one for his daughter. He talked about helping his daughter look for a NYC apartment on one of his last shows. Mercury Radio Arts, his production company, will remain in New York, at least for now, meaning he could be back and forth often. Beck has also mentioned building a studio in Dallas and ‘perhaps’ other places. What and where all Beck is up and off to is yet a mystery… perhaps in part even to himself.
Fox launched a summertime replacement series for the Glenn Beck Show, “The Five”, after a couple weeks of the ‘Best of Beck’ re-runs, which were preempted a couple of days by the Casey Anthony trial verdict and sentencing circus, a distraction that Beck would not have focused on. The week after Beck left Fox, the news was also filled with scandal involving the Murdoch Empire and a phone hacking scandal in Britain while here at home Fox took on Media Matters, financed by Beck’s old nemeses George Soros. “The Five” will include a rotating crew of Fox personalities like Andrew Napolitano, Andrea Tanteros, Geraldo Rivera, Juan Williams, Monica Crowley, Greg Gutfeld, Eric Bolling, Dana Perino and Kimberly Guilfoyle debating issues of the day. (I’ve watched the first few shows and they aren’t bad, but they aren’t Beck!) As his fans say, it will take 5 people to replace Beck and his show and it still certainly won’t be the same! Whether Fox realizes or admits it yet or not, they will grow to miss him and his ratings!
Beck said more than once in the last weeks and months of his show that he needed to get involved… hands on involved and he has!!
