Glenn Beck talks vague future with Fox News: 'The only thing in life that is constant is change'

Filed under: Television, TV and tagged: ,

Break out your blackboards: It’s time to analyze those rumors that Glenn Beck is leaving Fox News again. After The New York Times published an article earlier this month claiming that Beck may be being pushed out of the network, Beck used his first show back from vacation to discuss the piece and his vague future with the network. During the show, Beck, whose contract with Fox expires at the end of the year, appeared to hint that he will be severing ties with Fox News, saying “the only thing in life that is constant is change.” But Beck added: “And so while things, and I don’t know which, will change, all things do, but I know that we’ll continue to find each other whether on the radio, the Internet, on stage, in movie theatres, in the pages of books that the New York elite will never read or on Fox that the New York elite will never watch.” (Beck also said the contract talks aren’t a part of negotiation.) The network, however, might not suffer without Beck: According to The Wrap, Judge Andrew Napolitano, who filled in for the radio show host while he was away, attracted the same number of viewers as Beck. (It should also be noted that Beck — with his extremely passionate following that helps him beat all his competitors in his timeslot — might not suffer without Fox News either.)

For more on Beck’s thoughts on his contract, cowboys, and Star Wars, watch the video after the jump.

    Please just leave all broadcasting in general!!!

    • LOL

      He’ll probably end up killing himself at some point. He’s very unstable.

      • @LOL

        I can only dream and hope and wish…

      • Tarc

        Amen.

      • bud

        He speaks the truth and ignorant people do not want the truth!

      • Rie

        How sad that the haters on this comment page would wish such a cruel fate for someone. Mark my words, you will have to answer to a much higher judge. Time to examine you conscience.

    • Tom

      They are going to cut funding for public television sooner than later. NPR and the rest of those stooges need to go.

    • JJ

      And the alternative is the liberal media which is also full of crap, and will tell you anything in order to not face the broken promises of this administration, and the recovery they promised everyone.

      • Dennis Ray

        The problem comes from labels, when you call someone a name such as “liberal” or “conservative” you actually limit them from being individual people in your own mind. It should never be liberals believe or they believe because no one has lived the same life and agrees on everything. Don’t say “liberal” name names. Say John Doe hates bla bla bla. Take a stand. That’s all.

    • John

      Liberals will have you believe that job creation by putting all these people to work at Starbucks is going to build a better nation.

      • George Bush

        Mr. Boehner, where are the jobs?

    • Sally

      So this is how you want to restore sanity? Riiiight.. You guys are full of it.

    • Sally

      You guys want to blame everything wrong on Glen Beck? That’s hilarious!

  • Chrissy

    You know things are bad when you are too crazy for Fox News.

  • Jean Guy Levesque

    Glenn Beck is a stupid fat troll and anyone who listens to his crap is beyond dumb. This “journalist” is making money off dumb hicks living in fear and indigestion. Vive la Quebec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Tom

      The French. Meh. Why did we even bother with them in WWII sometimes, it boggles the mind..

      • Jean Guy Levesque

        Tom, time to get up from under Glenn Beck’s desk and get a real job. Anyone who “believes” in Beck’s crap is uneducated, backwoods living trailer lovers. Vive la Quebec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • John

      The French. Ahhhh.. How the world values your opinions..

    • Thats What I Think

      Jean, you don’t even know what you are talking about, you’re just talking. I doubt you have ever even watched his shows long enough to not take small samples and spin it into whatever you like. His show is opinion, not journalism, and if you had watched more that 2 seconds of it you would know that as he openly states “This is just my opinion, look up the facts yourself”.

      For you to bash Glenn Beck, who has a right to voice his opinion and then bash anyone who listens as “Dumb trailer trash living red necks” then I suggest that it is you that goes and gets an education and wakes the f**k up.

      Being intelligent is about taking tidbits from all sides and perspectives and forming your own opinions based on all of the relevant information, have you ever written a university essay in your life?? loser? Blind following is ignorance, just like you and anyone else on here who blindly follows Glenn Beck bashing rants.

      He is exercising his right to free speech… You all should exercise your right to shut the f*** up! lol

      ESPECIALLY this french french man. Without the US and Britain you would be speaking German right now… so button it!

      • Mojo

        You do know that Quebec is not in France right?

      • J.D.

        I totally agree with the above statement..that Glenn Beck has the right of Freedom Speech. Our constitution declares this to be so. So all the left liberal loons..take notice. We fight for freedom, so you can spew garbage and call names, without doing any homework. Educated people attack the deed NOT THE PERSON.

      • Owen

        this is NOT the same USA that won World War 2.

      • andy

        that what i think@ u are right thank u very much. G.BECK will be misted very much, i no iwill miss him.

    • Canadian

      Tu fais l’idiot, mon ami. Un vrai Québécois sait très bien qu’on dit ‘Vive le Québec !’ parce que le mot Québec est masculin. Tu n’es qu’un maudit troll anglais.

      You’re making a fool of yourself, my friend. A real Quebecker knows perfectly well that people say ‘Vive le Québec!’ because the word Québec is masculine. You’re nothing but a stupid English troll.

      • Sally

        I don’t speak frog. I’m sorry.

    • bud

      What makes him dumb in your opinion. Tell us factual statements that prove your point!

      • Rie

        HERE!Here!

  • barbara

    Glen Beck is very dangerous and mean spirited. And he is so stupid,and believes himself to be morally superior, which makes him even more dangerous. Please FOX, after his latest horrible racist comments about the Japan tragedy, give him the boot.

    • DTO

      I guess I haven’t been keeping up. What did he say about Japan?

      • emmabean

        Essentially, God is sending us a message that we are bad people. And the only way to get his point across is to send an earthquake to kill innocent people. Uh…yeah…

      • Sally

        You need to listen to youtube.com/watch?v=j5ne75dN-os

      • Darian

        I’m sorry Sally in your previous post you might want to correct your grammar so you do not appear to be a left winged fool.
        The fact that you believe such crap on youtube is beyond hilarious. I don’t know about you but I am very informed of current technology. People edit and distort words that are given. Glen Beck is an honest American man. Watch his show take from it what you want. The show is merely him speaking his opinion and sharing his research. If people like me want to believe some of it maybe even all of it that is our right. Now you wish to bash and throw out names to make yourself seem like the higher being then that shows you are a fool like many many other ignorant Americans.

    • Tom

      What happened to your restore sanity ideas? Now it is time to be bashing on Beck?

      • aoyst

        Glenn Beck is the antithesis of sanity

      • Sally

        Oh I thought you liberals like to blame everything on the guy you fired over 2 years ago? Try that at your work, and see how far that gets you knuckleheads.. ha ha ha

      • aoyst

        Sally, who are you talking to and what are you talking about?

    • John

      If you think Glen is dangerous, you need to get out more often. Maybe your own crime filled city streets for a change.

    • J.D.

      NO…I totally disagree with you, on all counts.

      • J.D.

        Meaning…Glenn Beck is an educated, passionate man on most points. Just listen to his dialogue. He is not a hate monger. Those whom call names do not know the facts about Glenn Beck. Left Liberal~LOONS…all you people can do is call names. NO specifics. Innuendo seems to be enough. Just the facts sir/mam, JUST THE FACTS…Give specifics or shut UP.

      • Josh

        Beck is educated? he took one class on christology and now he’s an expert? I don’t disagree taht this administration has given broken promises, but Glen is not the answer. He is a witch hunter that lives on conspiracy theories and can spin them because most people that watch his show don’t research the material for themselves.

      • Darian

        Josh who says that an individuals wisdom and intelligence has to be expanded in a college course. As we all grow old many of us become wiser and expand our knowledge where as you, for instance, will grow old and gain nothing but the false belief in information that you are fed by garbage news stations like MSNBC. Good luck with your life there son

  • Bob

    Glen Beck is criminally stupid and mean. Fire him.

    • Tom

      Liberal media is boring, one sided, and the summer of recovery was a bold face lie.

      • LOL

        LOL @ “liberal media.”

  • Bill

    Glen Beck is a whack job. He,like Sarah Idiot Palin, ever let facts get in the way of their hate speech. Can him FOX, Maybe I will start watching again.

    • Tom

      How is that summer of recovery working out for you guys? Any progress yet? Just askin

      • Jester

        My 401k plan has double up. I still have insurance and a well paying job, PLUS! I finally have more money in the bank qthen I did before, yep, voting for Obama again,next year.. Btw, you do know we’re not even in spring yet, right?

    • John

      Lier.

      • LOL

        Teabaggers can’t spell common words.

      • Sally

        Liberals don’t have an argument.

      • Reagan’s ghost

        What’s to argue? Beck is wrong about everything.

      • Sally

        You don’t have an argument. Just hot air! ha ha ha

  • Sue

    When Fox thinks you have jumped the shark w/ your crap you ARE in trouble.

  • Andy

    wow…talks of suicide, criminally stupid, stupid fat troll…
    Such talk in this new era of civility! So much for the compassionate left! Good thing you all always point out his factual errors, or one might lose sight of your own intellectual honesty in the midst of the 4th grade diatribes!!

    • TJ

      Beck dishes it out, I’m more than certain that he can take it.

    • Jan

      My sentiments exactly…if you can’t argue facts just name call and insult.

      • LOL

        Facts have a well-known liberal bias.

    • John

      Barry, where are those promises you were supposed to keep with your voters?

  • guillaume

    he might be an idiot, but he has by far the highest ratings, crushing msnbc and cnn, COMBINED. He is a lunatic, but in terms of ratings it doesn’t make sense

    • Tom

      It doesn’t make sense to the same liberals why they were defeated back in November too. You aren’t allow with your fellow delusional liberals who think the summer of recovery was a total success, and that you relate with the masses. Whoever they are???

      • Mocha

        The only parts of your comment I understood were the question marks at the end. Did your love for Glenn Beck overload your brain?

    • John

      Liberals have no answers just complaints

    • Sally

      Mocha, god you are dense

      • Mocha

        I’m so sorry, I really must be. Can you please explain the sentence “You aren’t allow with your fellow delusional liberals who think the summer of recovery was a total success, and that you relate with the masses” to me? Being that I am dense, I don’t quite understand what he’s trying to say.

      • Sally

        Read it again I guess.. dimwit

  • I’m a Republican

    Beck and the other hate mongers will not be missed if they leave the air, but MY Republican party is trying to, by cutting education funding, prove the axiom that uneducated voters are easily controlled, easily duped, and will believe the hate and lies of the extreme right and will vote Republican….Beck and the hate mongers and Sarah Palin are an embarrassment to my Republican Party….hey, Barak, thank you for cutting my benefits cost for my employees by 30% in 2010…..MY Republican party should have done that for small business!

    • I’m a Democrat

      Thank you for a sincere and rational post. We also have our share of useless media mouthpieces and politicians. I hope to live long enough to see us all work together for the common good.

    • Sally

      Liberals think they have the corner of the market on “rational” arguments. I wish they were a little more in touch with reality though.

    • Josh

      Great post! Anybody can complain about certain issues. Too move ahead you must find the good in everything. If you think if something is wrong, don’t just complain, give a suggestion on how to fix it.

  • Brock

    Glenn beck da man!!

    • Sally

      He is way more interesting and honest than the rest of those windbags!

  • Richard Weed

    Beck has gotten it right more times than he has missed. Good luck progressives

  • Lila Muzik

    Where ever Beck goes…there go I. Fox Network beware….and to all of you polly wogs out there..up your dose of Ginko Biloba and try to keep up.

    • Fox Network

      Ohhhh noooo – Lila Muzik is going to go with Beck – we are terrified!

      • Lila Muzik

        You should be, my followers are many.

  • Shelley

    Glen Beck brings truth to so many who have not heard the word. Then when you “do your homework,” you see he is not crazy, but honest. Thanks Glenn!

    • LOL

      Grape or Cherry Kool-Aid?

    • Lee Harvey

      Beck has gotten rich selling snake oil to the Shelleys of the world.

    • Sally

      Pass the Kool aid guys!!! mmmmmmMMmm!!! yummiees!!

    • JPX

      Shelley, I’m guessing that you didn’t graduate high school and still dream of earning that G.E.D., right?
