My first thought when I heard about Tucker yesterday was that Glenn should invite him to join The Blaze, which is exactly what he did!

I was very impressed with Glenn’s integrity and awakeness during our interview last month (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/woke-is-not-a-slur-heres-what-it-actually-means/id620967489?i=1000604531516 @ 1:25:09–1:45:57). He had previously read my “Letter to a Mainstream Straddler” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-mainstream-straddler) on his 3/3 show (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/warning-leftists-are-redefining-money-guests-donald/id620967489?i=1000602679601 @ 27:21–36:38) and resonated with it so much, he reached out for an interview.

If 20 years ago you told me in 20 years Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck would be whats remaining of integrity in big production news, I would have called your parents to see if everything was ok.

I am old enough to remember when Tucker was a bow tie wearing fast talking interrupting obnoxious punch in the face preppie and Glenn was an insufferable Neocon agenda supporter prone to crying.

I haven't watched any Beck in this new age, but I have been hearing good things about him and I have no idea what happened to Tucker or when but one day he was the only talking head that was making any sense, and this piece he was fired for is one of the most honest segments I have ever seen on big production news.

These days are reminding me of this Leonard Cohen line

"Things are going to slide, slide in all directions

Won't be nothing

Nothing you can measure anymore"

Some of the best detective work is done by Glenn's crew. He has the goods on the Dept of State/Soros/Ukraine and he did a deep dive into BlackRock several years ago. He also was the first to get the goods on DARPA's involvement with COVID and the gene jab. His Wednesday and Friday specials are just that, special.

Aldous I completely agree. But humans ALWAYS have choices and the ability to evolve and become better. Glenn is not the same Glenn that was on FoxNews. And Tucker too has grown considerably in his conservatism.

I will raise you one further. I'm not a fan of Maher. Never have been but he actually sounds sane these days. 🤣

Last week , Glenn was almost red hot ready to blow all his major gaskets.

Threatened to quit, threw the papers in his hands at the cameras. Not an act.

Just a measure of his frustration. We all feelin the same.... Ain't it a Shame!!

That was the first thought I had also. Not sure Glenn can afford $20million a year. The Blaze is subscription based. I've been a member since day 1. Mark Levin has a program there also.

In case you haven't noticed, both Glenn Beck & Tucker Carlson have gone on the record with statements about the root cause for all the turmoil & strife, confusion we are witnessing. Both have spoken eloquently about the spirituality.... Both have also encouraged listeners to get into the bible.... But neither has openly spoken about the Lord Jesus. A measured solution, a half-solution, if you will, won't solve our problems

Hmmm...that’s a very good observation.

Glenn is a Mormon. He once said (my rendition of his words) he and his wife went church shopping - attending numerous Christian denominations looking for the right feel for them. It took a while but they both thought the Mormon sect was the right match for them.

Tucker’s wife’s father was the headmaster and minister at the St. George School where they met. Tucker once said on his program that his wife performed the marriage ceremony between two of their friends. That to me is indicative of new age religion. So, they both find some of the basic tenants of religion very useful and fitting for society. Few people these days hold to actual scripture as found in the polling done these past years by Ligonier Ministries founded by RC Sproul whose objective was always Renewing The Mind - know what you believe and why you believe it.

I will say that Tucker has spoken about Christianity on his FoxNation show and the difference between following Jesus vs other religions.

I agree Margaret and I did hear your interview with Glenn.

Thanks, Ely! They would make quite a powerhouse of truth, especially with Tucker unmuzzled.
