Glenn Beck Announces He Has COVID-19 While Doing Commercials For Diet Bars
- Daily Kos, Jan. 6, 2022. - Ed.
Remember Glenn Beck? Hes still around and hes still doing what hes always done: grifting away. His modern look includes spectacles & a sort of Kentucky Fried Chicken Colonel Sanders look. Surprising no one, Becks evidence-free conspiracy theory stylings, now common on the right, are focused on all of the same tropes of misinformation, disinformation, & anti-vaxxer clickbait that allows for making money on his BlazeTV network. Wednesday night, on the eve of the 1-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by MAGA supporters hoping to install a dictator into the office of president, Glenn Beck released a video of his previously recorded interview with Donald Trump.
Beck boasted of traveling down to Mar-a-Lago to talk with Trump about all the ways President Joe Biden & Vice President Kamala Harris are trying to steal your freedoms. Also, Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to steal your penis or something. But guess who opened his special interview with the announcement that he has been diagnosed with COVID? Glenn Beck did, silly billy. No worriesthe grift must go on & Glenn used his COVID diagnosis as a jumping off point to hawk things during commercial breaks. Beck, looking very red & like he was about to burst, told his audience that he was at home quarantining, but that you needed to watch his interview with Trump, as liberals want you to worry about the Jan. 6 attempted coup because they dont want you to know about the gospel of Trump.
Then came the first segment: - Trump says something about how wind power & solar power are terrible because you have to update your windmills & solar panels every 3 decades or something. - Says we are standing on liquid gold, & the push away from fossil fuels is all a part of Chinas plan to win. - Glenn Beck tells Trump that Putin respects him but doesnt respect Biden. - Oh, liberals are worried about Jan. 6 because they are scare-mongerers Then a quick commercial break to try and scare you into buying a home security system because your home may not be a secure as you think. One person you shouldnt let into your home now?
Glenn Beck, who is selling you this as he sits in his home with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
Back to the show: - Business is being killed by the mandates. You should get vaccinated, or not, if you dont want to, its up to you. Business! - Dr. Fauci is the new president of the United States. Donald Trump didnt do most of what Fauci suggested. [Side note: Dr. Fauci was suggesting things to Trump back in January 2020. Looks at watch? 2 years later. Excellent job.] Quick commercial to tell you that I think it is critically important that you get your finances in order. Youre telling me. Back to the show! Joe Biden is trying to pit our children against each other & throw parents in trouble. We need to abolish public schools & let states decide what students should learn about our countrys history.
Something something cancel culture. Time for a commercial! Beck has COVID-19, in fact he doesnt have much of an appetite and he had just started a diet. You know whats saving his life? Diet bars...

If he died, I'd cheer. He did immeasurable damage with his show on Fox, and continues to this day. We'd all be better off if he'd just exit the earth.
