It was an interview Glenn Beck actually gave high marks to. Yesterday, he sat down with NBC’s “Today” show for an interview that aired Wednesday morning. It was a wide-ranging interview that covered everything from GBTV to his new book, “The Snow Angel.” But it was the latter subject that caused Glenn to get emotional.
The book is based on personal experience, which led Glenn to explain some of the pain he’s experienced in his life. He even recounted an emotional conversation with his father about abuse.
Besides the book, Glenn also talked about GBTV and how he “doesn’t care” any more about advertisers or pleasing anyone, as well as Occupy Wall Street.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 12:25pmHe is such a strong, brave survivor who despite wearing his heart on his sleeve , is tough as steel inside. He was dealt the hand of childhood abuse and bore those scars into alcholism, self loathing and doubt until he hit rock bottom. Instead of giving in to self pity and his demons (like so many do) he picked himself up and rebuilt his life. He used the lessons of his past to build a strong future for himself and his family. And he is trying to prepare and help us for whats to come, even though it causes abuse to be heaped again on his battered soul.
Report Post »I believe alot of TEA Partiers can identify with his story. The spoiled trust fund babies and enlightened hippy kids and useful idiots at Occupy Wall street, sadly are clueless.
I have to admit when he was at CNN, I thought he was another propaganda tool created by the network and I tuned out before I really knew who he was. Now , I love this man for his wisdom, courage, and character. He will never recieve the praise and recognition he so strongly deserves for all his good work in this life , but he will have treasure in Heaven. Thanks Glenn , and I’ll be seeing you on the other side.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 1:59pmI saw Glenn’s book piece on GBTV and I turned it off. I have a different take on this. I say this with all due respect to Glenn because I love what Glenn does and support his efforts completely. However, I believe strongly in letting death end all negative discussion of the deceased. The deceased are in God’s hands and cannot speak in their defense. We all must leave certain things behind and go on. I have seen O’Reilly and other stars do the same thing and it always goes against my inner “referee”. My inner “referee” cries foul. There was a time long ago and maybe now forgotten when it was forbidden to speak poorly about the dead.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 2:28pm@POLWATCHER I can respect your point of view, but there are things we talk about after a person has died in a negative way that are just part of history; Hitler, for example. We learn from it, and we try to ensure that such an abomination as the holocaust never happens again. There is little to no difference (except in scale) in dealing with the scars of abuse. We have to talk about the evil in the past to avoid repeating it. We learn, we grow, we make ourselves better.
And if the dead can’t defend themselves, neither will they be hurt by it. I believe in helping the victim more than worrying about the offender, though both need attention. In this case, if the offender is dead…. we only have to worry about the victim.
I think you’re being a little oversensitive.

Certainly the “degree” of wrong committed by the person is everything. I respect your point of view and assume that I am in the minority on this because a lot of stars do this. I believe that a parent who has done his best in life deserves a certain respect after death for doing his best. It is difficult to walk in someone else’s shoes.

If he ever began to appear “unstable” as you said, or started to lie… his own audience would destroy him. That is why trolls like you will never be able to sway those that are awake.

Your reply is the reason that I am sure that I have a minority opinion on this subject. Psychologists would say the same as you but I do disagree in this case. Glenn is an all around good guy with unique talents and I too like and trust Glenn for telling it like it is. He is surely following competent professional advice with his book and I am sure that his experience is a good example for many people to learn. Having said that, my minority opinion on this is based on the fact that almost all people who were adults during the 1920’s, 30’s, or 40’s and before that (when speaking of those who have not been guilty of crimes) would likely be judged today as personally crude, vile, insensitive, overindulgent, or possibly worse by today’s standards. Life has changed and things are far different today. Back then but most people were uneducated, had bad personalities, but had a good heart. People used their common sense and God given skills to handle the world and to raise their children. Life was extremely uncertain (no penicillin) but people helped each other to get along and cope. Parents of that day were pushed to the max just as they are today but by completely different forces. My point is this…With all due respect to Glenn and to psychologists everywhere, how is it possible for children to

Posted on October 27, 2011 at 10:50pm@ Joel1234 , I have looked up your other comments to try and make ends with what you have stated about Glenn. Your disposition is actually the frightening one, not Glenn’s. The manor upon which he goes about his life and shares his experiences is quite healthy. Actually, for any recovering alcoholic/addict, this is the only way one can live. You see, if you understood the nature of the disease of addiction, you would most certainly know that if Glenn was to try to stay clean but live dirty, his odds of relapse would be nearly 99% over the period of time you point towards. What you are missing, and I am sure you have no understanding of the human spirit, is Glenn is speaking in terms of the spirit. This has nothing to do with mortals or being a conduit to the word of God as you propose. The spirit is part of faith in a power greater than self. people as yourself believe you exist purely on the power of your own will. Leaving you subject to all the fears that can over power your will, which are many. However, I am sure your denial is so deep, you haven’t figured out how really scared you are to die. Men of faith don’t have such a fear. Those who live a spiritual life have a sense that life doesn’t end here on earth. They trust there is more and their soul is part of that more. They don’t fret and hide from knowledge or even scientific research like you, because there is a factor of which they can apply and you can not. You partake of the tree of knowledge my friend. I pray

This forum is or nudging those finally realizing they seek the truth.
Just look at joei234′s responses, and posts… it’s drive-by character assassination. There is no point in enlightening them to the truth, they believe they are the truth, because, they say it is so. Everyone… seek the truth.. it will make you miserable at first, but it will set you free (thanks Glenn for the succinct quote..

You act much too juvenile to understand the message that Glenn presents to his audience (who pay for the privilege).

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 8:03pmYay sarcasm, The only true way to find salvation in God is to find the truth for your self. The only thing churches or society can do is to remove the walls of ignorance and taboos institutionalized at birth. Religious thought is ever evolving and is coming closer and closer to an ultimate truth. With out religious freedom, freedom in religion, and bold questioning to enhance one perspective of the universe the human race will remain forever stagnate. If God created us in His image, and if he forsaken his only son to make us think like Him, and if he gave us trials that will make us strong like Him, but yet we all fall short in his eyes. If God gave us complete freedom to live our lives, and freedom to implement our thoughts, and freedom to judge and learn from those endeavors. He gives us freedom because we are still growing, and God is still growing. Then in my humbled opinion it would be iniquitous for any such thing as a dictator to exist whether in earth, in heaven, or in the hearts and minds of the people. A truly free people is a truly independent people, masters over their minds, their hearts, and their destinies.

Lotus, I agree with you. Glenn and I see eye to eye on everything except this one thing. I have most of Glenn’s books. They are brilliantly written and extremely interesting. My comments were directed more to psychiatrists and psychologists than to Glenn in particular. That is why I mentioned O’Reilly and “other stars” in my piece. Glenn, I’m sure, uses consultants (including his lovely family) at every level and that would surely include psychologists when writing a book dealing with the touchy subject of mom and dad. What Glenn is doing is exactly what any professional would recommend. To do otherwise would go against the world of psychiatry. This is why I stated my humble opinion as a “minority” opinion. Glenn is an asset to the world. Anyone would do well to listen to him and read his books any chance they get.

It is only when someone who is abused wants to stop the insanity so bad and they have a strong will, that they look for a way out and find the tools to stop the cycle. Sometimes as luck would have it, some caring person rescues a person who is abused and teaches them the difference. That is what love is all about.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 2:23pmI would not disaagree that abuse can be generational. I do believe it does not have to be. My husband is one of 13 children….10 boys and 3 girls. He was raised in poverty. His father was abusive, not to his wife, only to his children, primarily his sons – figure that one out. Before my husband and I married nearly 53 years ago, he told me that he never wanted his children to fear him, that growing up he feared his father terribly. I need not go into the type or kind of abuse that he and his brothers endured, but it was indeed physical. The man I married is a 180 from his father. His children adore him. His grandchildren adore him. His nieces and nephews adore him. He reaches out to any child in need. He causes children to smile and laugh, and loves to see them happy…the man radiates sunshine. He thanks God everyday for what he has and what is in the past is just that…in the past.

“…then railed against people with signs and costumes, because it made us look bad in front of the media.”
“Looking bad” was not the point to restrict sign carrying and/or custumes! I was at Restoring Honor, and the MESSAGE was NOT a Tea Party message, not a 9-12 message and was definitely NOT a rally! It was a message of RETURN TO FAITH (God). It was not a message to be “outshined” by banners, flags, costumes, or yelling! It was a message of renewal and recommitment. We were REAL PEOPLE there, commiting to God, Country, each other and the future of the U.S. of A!
I love “play acting” and “augmenting” some messages, but the message of Restoring Honor needed NOT AUGMENTING.
Please, please people get out of the “shallow waters”! Those of us who have read The Book (the Bible), understand these times. We want to put off the end, but hasten the end. We want many to learn of and become friends with their Creator in addition to dedicating ourselves to REAL FREEDOM!
Deepen you understanding and look at things from the position of others. If you put them off of the message due to you “play acting,” they will never HEAR the MESSAGE. This is serious and coming to a very seriuos “y” in the road. Let’s realize what we are REALLY talking about.

Glenn is not a perfect man, but he has done more to back up his words and beliefs than any two other conservative pundits combined. He is the Bono of the conservative celebrity world.

I think your confusion is that you are trying to put God in this mold to fit your perception of what He _SHOULD_ be. In fact, I think that’s the problem most people have who question His existence.
God is God — not a human being. Because he does not fit our mortal thought-patterns does not negate the fact that He exists. If we understood Him and His actions, He would not be God. Thus the reason that faith is the only answer.
What makes total sense is:
If there is no God, yet I live my life a Christian and do good in the world, what did I lose when I die?
If there IS a God, and I choose to NOT live a good, Christian life, what will I lose when I die?
Not a hard decision in my mind to make.

God will intervene to help those who truly need it but he will never take away the freedom we have to choose even if it means he loses those he loves.

I certainly applaud that, but not this NBC appearence crap. Enough drama, dude. Whatever, man. Do what you gotta do; very disappointing but expected.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 10:31amHey if he goes on NBC and is exposing the truth he IS doing what hes been called to do.When Glenn says he doesn‘t care it means he isn’t worried what others think or if he gets advertisers or bookings or not. I don’t believe he ever said he was gonna live in a GBTV bubble forever.
