I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU FOR A LONG TIME THAT GLENN BECK'S
SITE, THE BLAZE, IS IN TROUBLE.
THAT'S BECAUSE I'M GOOD AT MATH
AND I KNOW HIS NUMBERS DON'T ADD UP, AND I'M ALSO IN DIGITAL
MEDIA, GIVING ME FURTHER INSIGHT INTO HOW PREPOSTEROUS HIS CLAIMS
ARE THAT HE WAS RUNNING A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.
OBVIOUSLY
GLENN BECK LEFT FOX NEWS AND STARTED THE BLAZE AND SAID THAT
THINGS WERE GOING GREAT AND PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO IT, A LOT OF
PEOPLE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO IT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE
HAVING A WEE BIT OF TROUBLE, AND WE HAVE WONDERFUL, RICH DETAILS
FOR YOU GUYS, LITERALLY IN THIS CASE, TODAY.
AND THE DAILY BEAST
BREAKS THIS STORY --
>>
>>BETSY WOODRUFF AND MAX TANI REPORTING ON THAT.
OKAY, NO ONE
IS SURPRISED BY THIS, I TOLD YOU THEY WERE HAVING TROUBLE, THEY
STARTED LAYING OFF A LOT OF PEOPLE, IN FACT LET'S TALK ABOUT
THAT, BUT WHAT THEY ARE SELLING OFF IS THE FUN
PART --
>>
>>NOW, THOSE LAYOFFS ARE GOING TO BE VERY RELEVANT IN A SECOND.
IF YOU ARE WONDERING HOW THE HELL CAN BEN SHAPIRO AFFORD THE
BLAZE AS MUCH FINANCIAL TROUBLE AS THEY ARE IN, NO, FOR
CONSERVATIVES THERE ARE USUALLY VERY, VERY WEALTHY PEOPLE WHO
ARE NOT ACTUALLY LOOKING TO MAKE A PROFIT WHO FINANCE A LOT OF
THE STUFF.
LIKE THE MERCERS, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY FINANCED
BREITBART, NEVER TURNED A PROFIT, NEVER GOING TO TURN A
PROFIT, THEY AREN'T IN IT FOR THE CAPITALISM, THEY ARE IN IT
FOR THE MARKETING AND THE PROPAGANDA.
I DON'T KNOW WHO IS
BEHIND SHAPIRO AND WHO COULD POSSIBLY BUY THE BLAZE, THAT'S
AN INTERESTING TORY FOR ANOTHER DAY, BUT RIGHT NOW LET'S LOOK AT
WHAT HE'S SELLING OFF --
>>
>>OH, HE'S
SUCH A BAD GUY.
ALL RIGHT, NO LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT A
MAYBACH LOOKS LIKE, AND I HAVEN'T.
I MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE
OUTSIDE AND THAT'S RARE, BUT I CERTAINLY HAVEN'T SEEN THE
INSIDE -- THAT'S A LOVELY LOOKING CAR, I LIKE THAT THE
BASE MODEL STARTS AT $168,000.
DO YOU GET LEATHER SEATS WITH
THE $168,000 OR DO YOU HAVE TO UPGRADE?
IS IT ROLL DOWN WINDOWS
OR POWER WINDOWS?
THAT IS A PRETTY LOOKING CAR.
NOW THAT'S
NOT NECESSARILY GLENN BECK'S CAR, BUT GLENN BECK'S CAR IS A
MAYBACH AND IT LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT HE HAS A PRIVATE
JET, THIS ISN'T EXACTLY HIS PRIVATE JET BUT IT'S THE KIND HE
OWNS, A SIMILAR MODEL.
MUST BE NICE.
WHAT IS THAT, CHAMPAGNE OR
WINE IN THE MIDDLE THERE?
VERY, VERY NICE, I DON'T LOVE THAT
PARTICULAR COLOR, BUT I'M SURE TRUMP WOULD FEEL AT HOME.
SO
THAT'S WHAT HE'S DOING.
HE ONCE WROTE A COUPLE YEARS BACK TO HIS
DAUGHTER, THESE ARE MOVING WORDS --
>>
>>MMM, AGREE TO DISAGREE.
I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE, AND I'D START A LITTLE BIT LOWER
THAN PRIVATE JET TRAVEL.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT
CAN MATERIALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
PREPOSTEROUS, WHAT AN INSANE
THING TO SAY.
I MEAN, YOU DON'T WANT TO TRAVEL WITH THE RABBLE,
EVEN IN FIRST CLASS, I DO DECLARE, UNBEARABLE.
THE ONLY
MATERIAL CHANGE TO YOUR LIFE IS IF YOU HAVE A PRIVATE JET.
IT
LOOKS LIKE THEY AREN'T GOING TO HAVE A PRIVATE JET ANYMORE, SO I
GUESS HIS LIFE HAS BEEN MATERIALLY CHANGED FOR THE
WORST.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THE BECK FAMILY WILL MAKE IT THROUGH
THIS.
NOW HERE COMES THE WORST PART --
>>
>>THE YEAR HE'S DOING LAYOFFS, PRESUMABLY, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW
IF HE HAS THE COURAGE TO ACTUALLY DO IT HIMSELF, BUT
PRESUMABLY PEOPLE COME INTO HIS OFFICE AND HE'S SAYING WE ARE
HAVING A TOUGH TIME, WE HAVE TO LET YOU GO, I HOPE YOU CAN FIND
ANOTHER JOB, IT HAPPENS, IT HAPPENS IN THE WORLD, SOMETIMES
YOU HAVE TIGHT TIMES, WE CAN'T AFFORD YOUR SALARY ANYMORE,
40,000, 50,000, WHATEVER, THEN HE TURNS AROUND AND LAUGHS, GIVE
ME $1 MILLION TO BUY A PRIVATE JET.
BECAUSE HIS LIFE HAS TO BE
MATERIALLY CHANGED FOR THE BETTER.
YOUR LIFE, THAT'S A
DIFFERENT STORY.
BUT HE BOUGHT IT WITH THE COMPANY'S MONEY.
LOOK, OPRAH WANTS TO HAVE A JET, LEBRON JAMES WANTS TO HAVE A
JET, BILL GATES WANTS TO HAVE A JET AND PAY FOR IT, I DON'T
BEGRUDGE THEM THAT.
RUSH LIMBAUGH HAS A PRIVATE JET, I
NEVER TALKED ABOUT HIS PRIVATE JET.
BUT YOU ARE GOING TO USE
COMPANY MONEY AND A MILLION BUCKS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO FLY
FIRST CLASS, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO FLY FIRST CLASS?
SO YOU GET A
PRIVATE JET?
MEANWHILE YOU WERE DOING ROUNDS OF LAYOFFS?
GEE, I
WONDER WHAT HIS PRIORITIES ARE, I CAN'T QUITE TELL.
SO, COULD IT
BE THAT HIS CRAZY SPENDING IS WHAT LED TO SOME OF THE BLAZE'S
TROUBLES?
HMM.
LOOK, FINALLY LET ME SAY THIS, GLENN BECK IS
INSANE.
I THINK HE'S CLINICAL, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE.
HE
ONCE DECLARED THAT HE WAS NOW SANE, THAT HE HAD MENTAL ISSUES
IN THE PAST, BUT HE'S NOW SANE.
WHY?
BECAUSE HE SAID HE STRAPPED
HIMSELF TO A GYROSCOPE AND WENT AROUND AND AROUND LIKE SANDRA
BULLOCK IN GRAVITY, AND HE SAID THAT CURED HIM.
I HAVE NEWS FOR
YOU, IT DIDN'T.
THAT'S NOT A THING THAT CURES ANY KIND OF
MENTAL DISEASE.
THAT'S WHAT HIS QUACK DOCTOR TOLD HIM AND THAT'S
WHAT HE BELIEVES.
SO THAT'S THREE GUYS ON THE RIGHT THAT I
THINK ARE CLINICAL.
GLENN BECK, FOR CERTAIN.
ALEX JONES, FOR
CERTAIN.
AND I WOULD ARGUE DONALD TRUMP.
SO WHY DO
RIGHT-WINGERS LOVE INSANE LEADERS?
THERE IS A REAL REASON.
YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE CONSERVATIVES ARE AUTHORITARIAN
BY NATURE.
THEY WANT TO FOLLOW A STRONG LEADER.
WHO ARE STRONG
LEADERS?
INSANE PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW WHY?
THEY ARE RESOLUTE.
I KNOW
WHAT I'M DOING.
THE GYROSCOPE CURED ME.
THE FROGS ARE GAY.
AND
THE HUMAN/GORILLA/PIG HYBRIDS, AND POSITIVE OF IT.
DONALD
TRUMP, I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE YOU, ALL THESE THINGS ARE
COMING BUT ME, ME, ME.
THEY ARE CERTAIN.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY
AREN'T SMART, SMART PEOPLE REFLECT, WHAT ARE OUR DIFFERENT
OPTIONS?
INSANE PEOPLE THINK THEY HAVE THE WHOLE WORLD
FIGURED OUT, WHEN IN REALITY THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
BUT
THEY SOUND STRONG, CONFIDENT, AND RESOLUTE.
EXACTLY WHAT
CONSERVATIVES FOLLOW.
IT IS SO SAD, AND LIKELY IN A COUPLE OF
YEARS WE WILL AT LEAST IN TWO OUT OF THREE OF THOSE CASES HAVE
LITERAL CLINICAL REPORTS IN, THAT'S MY BEST GUESS, OF THEM
SAYING YES, THEY HAD MENTAL ISSUES.
THEY HAD LEGITIMATE,
SIGNIFICANT MENTAL ISSUES.
BECK SAID HE ALREADY HAD THEM IN THE
PAST BUT THE GYROSCOPE CURED HIM.
NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND
BELIEVES THAT.
DOES ANYONE THINK ALEX JONES IS SANE?
ANY RATIONAL
PERSON?
AND WHEN YOU FIND OUT THE GUY YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING
YOUR WHOLE LIFE AND THOUGHT WAS AWESOME WAS ACTUALLY INSANE THE
WHOLE TIME, OH, THAT'S GOING TO LEAVE A MARK.
