Glenn Beck Lays Out the Past and Future of His Show, Network: ‘We Will Forge a New Path’

During Monday’s broadcast, Glenn Beck laid out the past and future of his TV show and his young network, TheBlaze.

From his days at CNN and then Fox News, Beck says he has accomplished some lofty goals but is still striving to transform the culture, education and industry in America. Exciting things are still to come, Beck said.

“We will forge a new path not harp on the current darkness,” he said.

Watch the clip below via TheBlaze TV:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

    Can we not forge a new path AND harp on what is going on in the current darkness?
    We still need to harp with the confidence we are well informed.
    The harping must not stop. People forget.

    The show touched my heart last night. Glenn was able to articulate how so many of us are feeling in the aftermath of the election. Failure is never a complete loss unless we fail to learn from it. People usually grow through failure. Let’s use what we have learned to grow this movement.

    Sounds to me like Glenn is trying to rewrite his own history.

    He claims he did things for one reason but looking back it was all for another reason.

    Glenn has got it right that the problem is education – more like indoctrination. Everytime I hear how the problem is we need more teachers and more money spent on public schools I know its part of the agenda and yes unions should be tied in to education diagram because the teachers union is an agent of change to drive this country and people in a direction designed to destroy us; What has happened to education is the work of the Frankfurt School, Antonio Gramsci creating a society with the unshakeable belief snow is black. Everything turned on its head.

    If you don’t know what I am talking about, watch this video for just how much the system has been corrupted in line with the goal to make America so corrupt it will stink. This is a spiritual war, my God the Fabians were so bold as to have their logo a wolf in sheep’s clothing and Alinksy openly dedicated his book Rules for Radicals to Lucifer. And Obama taught Alinksy. Yes the problem is education. Saw a map also that showed in state after state that went blue it was red every area but where the universities were.

      Hey Glenn,

      I went to both of your big confabs in DC.

      I subscribed to your internet site. I recently unsubscribed. Why?

      A month ago you announced that you were told by an unimpeachable source that two major news outlets had copies of the orders ordering military units to stand down from any rescue of Stevens, Smith, Doherty and Woods. Now, silence. No “outing” as promised. What happened? How’d they get to you?

    You know how they say the early American progressives were influenced by Germans that left Germany for America? Well, they weren’t Germans in the true sense. I think thats why those 120+ rabbis protested or partitioned GB back when he was on Fox; the turning point in my opinion. GB had a variety of enemies by then though.

    Man, GB got so close and was doing great. Especially when he was indulging in the works of our Fore Fathers. But then he started to sound like a neocon and soon after, he was marching in Israel, but it wasn’t enough!

    You see, there is a reason why the masses don’t know about the architects of the old soviet state and their cohorts, 1919-1948. They (the masses) don’t know who was in the secret police; Cheka, GPU, NKVD, nor who ran the gulags, etc… But they do know about Nazi Germany-lol and the communist spies here in America before and after WWII. And they too weren’t Germans in the true sense.

    Ah there’s no point, good luck GB!

      I am a critic of Beck, but you are wrong. He has a blessing…there is no doubt, but he is human. If you think that all the world is just bad…wrong. They are not, it is just many people do not know how to make sense of it…especially here in America. Sooner, rather than later, there is going to be a harsh reality and the more people that understand the spiritual side of things rather than the nature of corrupted politics, the better it is going to be for everyone. In essence, it is not to change anything…because there is no changing what is coming, but rather how we deal with it.

      Glenn made a big difference in mine and my wife’s lives. He was instrumental in us getting our lives back to God. But as for me and her we feel our time with Glenn is at an end. He has served the purpose needed in our lives and we have to move on now. Perhaps we will return again but I really believe in my heart that there is nothing we can do to change the way the world is going. It is biblical and very easy to see once you read and study biblical end times prophecy. We are not giving up on life in fact we are really just starting to live again without fear of the future. Our focus now is to help people see they need Christ in their lives. It truly is the only way a person can survive this insanity we live in. Repent, accept Jesus, find a good bible teaching church and you too will start to live again. God bless all of you.

    The problem with the Blaze is that it preaches to the choir, it doesn’t convert anyone who was sitting on the fence or someone who doesn’t even care.

    We need to stop preaching to the choir and instead, go out and convert 10-20 million Americans to the idea of limited government conservatism. Otherwise, we’ll never win another election.

    It starts with the culture. Culture is upstream from politics. Political movements start at the cultural level.

      I have been watching Glen since he CNN days. I know him well enough to know where he is heading. My guess is he is going to show us the importance of being involved in correcting the education system, being involved in our local town government, or at least sharing our opinion on local issues with our neighbors, town officials.

      Most people are not aware that many of thier local schools are implimenting a United Nations Education System Called the International Baccalaurate Program. It is a growing cancer. When they were talking about implementing it in our school, I looked up some of the lessons. One was on the UN peace day. It taught that the muslim terrorist were freedom fighters and The United States was the terrorists. I printed out the lesson and personally showed it to each of our school board members. I told them if they did not drop the idea of implementing it in our schools, I would personally print out the lesson plan and give it to every household in our school district. They dropped the idea immediately. This is the kind of activism we need to all be a part of. The only other alternative is to pull our kids out of public schools and starve them. My children are all grown but if they were young now I defintely would have taken them out and homeschooled them. Remember the little booklet we all read in school called Highlights? You would not believe how that little innocent booklet has become a tool of Agenda 21. I bet Glen is heading in this direction.

    I couldn’t read that stuff on the blackboard on my computer. It wasn’t a Venn diagram or flowchart or value added flowchart or any other kind of diagram I’ve ever seen. Maybe it was a “connecting the dots” kind of thing?

    Anyway, maybe genius could figure it all out, including the idea that he’s preparing his audience for something. And whatever it is this much is certain: he’s shifting his financial resources away from something less profitable into some new venture that he thinks will be more profitable.

      “Maybe it was a “connecting the dots†kind of thing?”

      It looks like a mind map to me, although I could be wrong.

      “And whatever it is this much is certain: he’s shifting his financial resources away from something less profitable into some new venture that he thinks will be more profitable.”

      Personally, I don’t think Mr. Beck’s primary goal is financial, although he’s obviously doing quite well in that department. If he were merely in it for the money, BlazeTV viewers would be bombarded by incessant advertisement like you see on the traditional channels, and anyone subscribing to The Blaze would be getting constant spam advertisements.

      No, I think Mr. Beck is trying to change the way people think, from being mindless robots passively going along for the ride to critically-thinking people who are willing to challenge the status quo to make the world a better place.

      Do I 100% agree with everything he puts forth? No, not really. But, I do wish him luck in having a positive impact on the world. If more folks cared as much as Beck obviously does, the world would be a much better place.

    Many people have gotten so wrapped up in the politics of late that I worry that it is just another form of idolatry. If you spend more time engaged in politics than you do with Jehovah, check yourself – make sure you spend more time with the Lord.

    I think the one spiritual thing that people overlook the most is spreading the Gospel, leading sinners to salvation through Christ. Jehovah Father loves it when His flock works to bring others to salvation. It’s a big deal!

    Study the Bible daily; pray and be thankful many times a day; tithe 10% and give more as an offering; be obedient to the Lord Jehovah; love people with the love of Christ.

    If we do all of the things that are pleasing to Jehovah Father, will He not put His hand of blessing back upon us and our nation? That’s where it starts. Be obedient to the Lord.

    There is room for politics but let us make sure we give the bulk and the best of our time to Him.

    Glenn if God, ‘unalienable’ rights and our Constitution matter more to conservatives than democrats, then how do you justify extolling religious and patriotic principles, while hypocritically condoning the moral relativism of ignoring Article 2, Section 1, of our Constitution, resulting in an ineligible usurper as President?

    Obama is not a ‘natural born citizen’ deductively defined and required for eligibility by Art 2, Sec 1, as one born in America to TWO American parents!*

    Glenn mocks patriots seeking to uphold the Constitution! He also refuses to acknowledge the irrefutable facts uncovered by law enforcement investigators about Obama’s fraudulent altered birth certificate, selective service registration and stolen social security number.

    Please don’t be deceived by predators preying on sheeple. Public ignorance is a golden goose to those peddling lies. Main stream media profit is either maximized by biased partial reports and omissions, or the owners harbor ulterior motives. Even conservative commentators like Glenn, Rush, Sean and O’Lielly are similarly complicit.

    America is slipping towards an abyss of socialism compounded by insurmountable debt. It’s time to learn the truth.

    Take back control. Vote with your dollar! Boycott businesses who’s advertising pays for media lies. Do not let Congress certify a usurper. Pass photo id laws.

      You are mistaken, sir. Under the laws of our great nation anyone who is born here enjoys the status of a natural born citizen and may one day run for the office of President. There was some dispute over this issue in the first century after the passage of our Constitution, but the Supreme Court finally examined the issue in 1898. They found that it was the policy under the laws of England at the time of our founding, with which the founding fathers would surely have been familiar, that natural birth was dependent only upon place of birth, not upon parentage. Since our founders nowhere in the Constitution or anywhere else wrote any article or statute changing this standard, they concluded that it remained in effect under the Constitution and up to the present day.

    he might be able to make measureable gains in changing the culture.
    When Oprah left mainstream tv the masses did not follow. NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN re-elected

    Knowledge is power, control the hearts and minds by educating and teaching and indoctrinating to the ideology and philosophy of the Progressives and they have won.

    Only by first educating and understanding what is happening ourselves can we educate others, and then commence changing the culture one step at a time.

    We still have a small window of time, the old paradigms are gone, now we either forge new ones for the good of the nation and the individual; or we allow the progressives to do so, and enter eternal serfdom.

      If you want your point of view in the classroom, write the lesson plans complete with all teaching materials and send it to the schools. You’d be amazed what overworked teachers ( and some time lazy teachers) will grab and present to students to fill time.

      I agree with you entirely, Snow.

      The left has been as successful as it has because of its lock on education. The teachers are, by and large, staunch unionists, and while I’m sure that the vast majority are decent, well meaning people, their bias would inevitably seep through. They would also be less critical of the leftist agenda.

      Correcting that, however, is a mammoth task. Perhaps it should be started by looking closely at how the left acheived pre-eminence in the first place and copy that.

    Between the New Evangelization of all in the Catholic Church and the strength of stand that the Bishops and supporters have taken, we will lead the way to the future. We might be small, we might be martyred, but we will stand for our God and Savior Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit leading us.

    Our prayers are for anyone who is willing to stand for truth!

      You might be martyred. Don’t be ridiculous. Where did you learn to play the victim like this?

    The other day 2 news people from Maine resigned live on TV because they were tired of the unethical media practices. I hope this starts a trend. We need/deserve accurate news. Mercury One is doing a great job and I look forward to watching it grow and develop. Must protect our rights.

      I hope so as well, for one person can make incredible things happen, when that person is joined by others and united in the faith of God and Jesus, then miracles large and small occur.

    I hope the people in the Comments section of theblaze.com also remember that everyone Left or Right, all read your comment. Please ask yourself, “Are you causing a positive affect on the Conservative movement?” before you hit the Post button.

    There are some crucial pieces to this puzzle that Glenn doesn’t understand.. yet. Though he has come a long way in a relatively short time the complete picture has not been revealed…
