Appearing as a guest on Recode Media with Peter Kafka at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, Glenn Beck remained firm in his opposition to President Donald Trump.
Since he left Fox News in 2011, Glenn Beck has been mending old wounds, apologizing for some of the things he said on Fox and trying to find common ground with liberal media personalities like Samantha Bee.
But after repeatedly condemning candidate-and-then-President Donald Trump, Beck isn’t extending any olive branches. He has a simple answer for Trump supporters who have stopped watching his videos or listening to him on the radio.
“I say this with all humility: I don’t care,” Beck said on the latest Recode Media with Peter Kafka, recorded live at South by Southwest. “Right is right, wrong is wrong. People don’t listen to me for the direction that everybody else is going in.”
Glenn Beck’s notoriety was at its peak in the early days of the Obama administration when the talk radio host had a daily television show on Fox News. He did in depth exposés about Obama appointees, shadowy money men and leftist conspiracies. Often his show was too full of emotion and melodrama for my tastes but he definitely influenced the news cycle and political debate.
He took a not-so-veiled shot at the media outlets who sold out their principles to ride the money Trump train.
“I’m a constitutional conservative,” he added. “I will take responsibility for the things that I did. I take responsibility for me. You take responsibility for you. I’m looking for people in media, on the right and the left, who have the balls to stand up to their own audience [and] say, ‘This is what we did wrong,’ ‘This is what I did wrong,’ ‘This is what I didn’t get.’”

I’ve always thought Beck was nuts. But even a nutter can be right, and he is here.
