Glenn Beck torches Fox News as source of spiritual evil: ‘Dangerously intoxicating’

September 11, 2024

Former Fox News host Glenn Beck had strong words about his former employer during a show with Tucker Carlson on Saturday in Salt Lake City.

The Christian Post reports that Beck described Fox News as a source of spiritual evil from which he is glad to be free. Beck’s comments came during a conversation with Tucker Carlson, another former Fox News personality.

During their hour-long conversation, Beck related to Carlson how the fame and power he garnered while at Fox News threatened to destroy him spiritually and how he had to give it up to retain his spiritual integrity.

Beck stated, “When I was at Fox, it was like you could feel the White House move. I could feel the impact, and that’s pretty intoxicating. It’s so dangerously intoxicating, and I could feel it, and I didn’t like it and I left.”

Beck, who is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, told Carlson that he was told to stop talking about God so much on the air and that his employers were keeping count of how many times God was mentioned.

Beck also said that Fox News hired someone to go through his garbage in order to find dirt on him and that Roger Ailes had implied to Beck that they had evidence that he had allegedly hurt his wife.

That’s a claim that Beck adamantly denies.

Beck told Carlson that he found himself becoming enamored with the fame, wealth and influence that came with his presence on Fox News but ultimately realized that he would have to give it up in order to keep his soul.

Carlson noted that he too had come under fire for using increasingly religious rhetoric and that he was fired just three days after a speech to the Heritage Foundation in which he described America’s political battles in spiritual terms of good versus evil.
