Glenn Beck: Donald Trump Making Me 'Uncomfortable' (VIDEO)

Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck told Bill O'Reilly that Donald Trump's recent comments have been making him "uncomfortable."

Trump has been in the news lately for his controversial remarks about President Obama. In a widely seen interview on Wednesday, he repeated his claims that Obama may not be a citizen of the United States, and even hinted that the president could be a Muslim.

Speaking to O'Reilly during his weekly "At Your Beck and Call" segment on Friday, Beck said that, while he respected Trump and though he could "economically fix our country," he didn't understand why Trump had been making his recent comments.

"I don't know exactly what that strategy is," he said. "I'll tell you what it is," O'Reilly said. "It's get attention."

"But that doesn't help you," Beck said. "I could walk around the streets of New York without pants and I could get attention."

He then said that Trump's birther talk, as well as his comments about China, had "made me a little uncomfortable recently." Speaking about the birth certificate he said, "He releases one that's worse than Obama's, and then he comes back and says on your program, 'he might be a Muslim too.' What does that mean, Bill?!"

Beck concluded, "The last thing the country needs is a showboat...I would hope we could get serious candidates who could shake things up by not saying provocative things, just by stating the truth of what's going on."

"But then you and I would be off the air," O'Reilly said. "Because we're provocateurs. We do that every day."

Glenn Beck wants him to run for President because he will dismantal safety net in this country.

That's ridiculous. All the Left ever talks about is safety nets, safety nets, safety nets. And I say that as a former leftist.

Wanna know a REAL safety net? A constitutional Republic that stays within it's budget, protects people's Constitutional rights, and allows a dynamic economy to flourish.

China is destroying us. Trump wants to level the playing field with China by taxing all Chinese imports and revitalizing American factories. "We don't need to buy children's toys with lead from China. We can make our own children's toys in Alabama!" he recently said. And he knows how to make it happen.

A return to manufacturing will lead to economic prosperity across ALL race and classes. Not everyone can be a doctor, lawyer or computer programmer. Blue collar people need jobs too and American factories producing American goods to be sold to the American people will provide those jobs.

The Left spends too much time trying to build a risk-free world filled with government "safety nets" for every possible inconvenience and not enough time visualizing a world in which fewer people need safety nets in the first place. In short - economic prosperity means LESS poverty, LESS foreclosed homes, LESS homeless people and MORE social justice.

I do not believe Obama can bring us there. But I suspect - just suspect - that Donald Trump can.

Three parts about this that are interesting: 1) That O'Reilly seems to have jumped on the "bandwagon" about Beck being "crazy." He is NOT:
http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2011/02/why-glenn-beck-isnt-crazy-and-millions.html

2) That O'Reilly admits that he and others at Fox are provocateurs. Lawrence O'Donnell made a big deal out of this. Provacateurs are people who provoke trouble, cause dissension, or the like; agitators. OK, that's enlightening but not surprising (except that he admitted it).

3) Beck's claim of telling the truth. He says this a lot, repeats it all the time, and yet he does not do that. Just yesterday, on his Fox show, he claimed that we (the US) are arming the Libyan rebels. That is not true at this point. Beck lies a lot, and he claims to tell the truth a lot. THAT is what I found most interesting although it's just more of the same from Beck.

So Beck is just a deceitful, (yellow) propagandist. Many know this, but his gullible minions, millions of Americans, cannot see this. DON'T LET ANYONE YOU KNOW become one of Beck's gullible and "psychotic" minions/believers. Take action today to protect the ones you love and like from the allure of a routine liar disguised as a patriot.

Glen Beck is a character Orwell would conjure up if he were writing 1984 in the 21st century.

What nonsense.
There sits Beck & O'Reilly promoting the conspiracy of "one world government" and claiming that is Soros' goal.
Claiming the truth is what is needed and every show Beck or O'Reilly has is based on lies, or perpetuates lies.

Not provocateurs Beck & O'Reilly, liars, both.

Last nite I was banned for my shocking rhyme,
I'll try to be more delicate this time.
Beckadoodle, please don't walk around without pants,
You'll freak out the birds & scare all the ants.
As for The Trumpeter who likes to blow his horn,
About that birth certificate...um...where were you born?
O'Really's on the sidelines, sitting pretty as he enjoys the game,
He cares naught about either side, as long as his ratings stay the same!

How's that one? Gonna let me thru this time...puh-leeze!
Blessed Be!

Yes. it's uncomfortable to hear someone else making the same ludicrous, unfounded accusations that you've been making for years.

Oh dear Bill. Soros is scary but Trump wanting to be president is a good thing? Fair and balanced indeed! no partisan politics on Fox right?

Glenn Beck should stick to comedy, which he does best.
