Anybody caught him on the radio recently?

I stopped listening to any part of his show early last year. Was tuning past his station today and just caught part of the show.

Gee, if jumping on the Trump Bandwagon was an Olympic sport, he would medal.

    He has moved rather quickly from Clinton is the only moral choice, and Trump is SATAN to supporting him.

    Beck never supported Hillary.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    "If the consequence of standing against Trump and for principles is indeed the election of Hillary Clinton, so be it. At least it is a moral, ethical choice," Beck wrote.

    Contrary to the headline, it does not say he supported Hillary. It explained his stance for a third party (or another republican, actually) vote. But clearly he did not support Trump. If he has changed his stance on THAT, I have not heard or seen it.

    Actually he did. I read the quote, "The the only moral ethical vote was for Hiltabeast".

    During the time he said that, I was listening to his show regularly. He did NOT support Hillary. Now, I don't agree with him that she was an ethical vote, but it's quite the stretch to say he supported her. Significant time in just about every show was spent mocking both of them.

    From the same article: "Beck told the online magazine VICE he has never once considered voting for Trump, but that he has thought about casting a ballot for Clinton....However, he then stated that he just "can't do it" because "she's just as bad."

    Whichever way the wind blows is where Beck will be. He has no moral compass. He will fade away shortly.

    When I first heard Beck, I was waiting for a flight out of Atlanta and he was on CNN.
    I was surprised to hear someone with his views on CNN and I even watched his show a couple of times. Beck did not last long on CNN.

    He also popped up on a couple of talk radio stations in the state and ended up on FOX where he was soon fired. Radio stations here quit carrying him because he started sounding like a Sunday preacher and was replaced by Chris Plante. I heard FOX fired Beck for the same reasons. Chris Plante is awesome.

    IMHO, I noticed a great deal of change in him and could not stand him any more. I think he is losing his mind.

    His BLAZE website however is still alive and is still a great source of info. I hope the BLAZE survives Glen Beck however.

    I gave up listening to Beck when he was ranting about Gog and Magog waltzing to the End of All.

    The end result is the same, Beck's intent was that he preferred Hillary over Trump. The OP is correct in that Beck went out of his way for atleast the six weeks leading up to the election to trash Trump daily. Now he is singing his praises playing this fantasy "we need to support our president as I do a complete about face" routine.

    Quit listening to him a couple of years ago. Got tired of him going off of the rails and crying about stuff.

    Beck has hormone problems. He acts just like a big old girl besides just being an idiot.

    I listen to the guy on Sirius radio because I am driving the big truck all day long and there is nothing else on between 9am and noon.
    I listen to Beck but usually can't stand to listen for long. Sometimes he will start crying. Can't listen to that.

    Sometimes, he makes remarks like this remark he made a few months ago. Y'all think I am making this up but this is a quote "I have big breasts. But they got really big when I got so fat."
    For a man to make a remark like that on a radio show makes me think he is insane.

    Beck loved Cruz, not bad, I liked Cruz as well. Beck hated Trump and hated the Vile Harridan.
    Beck stayed up all night praying and fasting for Cruz.
    It didn't work. When Trump won Beck took a "holier than thou" posture and refused to vote for him. His two sidekicks, Stu and Phil, who are groveling sycophants, also hated Trump. The three always agree on everything.

    If Nutcake Glen has ever come out in favor of Trump I have not heard it but I do miss about 90 percent of his shows.

    Like I said Beck has hormone problems. That's why he's got big breasts and cries. Nothing a couple shots of testosterone couldn't clear up except he would still be an idiot.

    That's what I've heard and noticed as well.

    The end result is not the same. Maybe he did prefer Hillary over Trump, but it's a huge stretch to say he supported her, particularly when he was cutting her down every show.

    You weren't a huge Trump fan, from what I can remember. Does that mean you supported Hillary?

    Boortz was good. I knew him. I was living in Atlanta when he was on the air. I was working at a small hot air balloon factory. Boortz had one of our balloons and he would come by the shop about once a week and sit around and talk. He often went to lunch with us balloon guys.
    There were only four employees at the shop so I got to talk to Boortz quite a bit.
