I watched this as long as I could, and then walked away from this self-absorbed, fact-deprived, media hack/has-been. I do think there's the possibility of violence between hard-right and hard-left "true believers" on the horizon, but none of it will take place, or have it's origins, in anything this narcissistic lunatic believes will occur. The whole "I pray that I'm wrong but the facts say I'm right" persona ... and then listing things that are most assuredly "not" facts ... makes me want to puke.
The best line I've heard lately on this subject is: "If there's a civil war, it won't last long. The "Right" has all the guns, and the "Left" can't figure out which bathroom to use."

Agree with you 100%. What points of his did you especially disagree with?
Pretty much all of it that I watched before doing more interesting things. When he started listing "facts" that were obviously nothing but hard-right "opinion" ... I mentally checked out. When the factually debunked "conspiracy theories" kicked in, I physically checked out.
For sure, right there with ya. Which conspiracy theory did you find most appalling?
I get that, and generally agree. But when you actually "check the docs" and find they either (a) don't exist, or (b) are from hard-right like-minded sketchy sources, or (c) are snippets of much larger discussions that are taken way out of context ... well ... I have the same problem with news from OAN and Breitbart, as I do with news from MSNBC and CNN.
I do appreciate the advice.
I guess my return advice would be to not spend so much time obsessing over the weeds ... that you forget what a normal garden should look like.
Here, and in chronological order. All docs are either Congressional Record or D organizations - straight from the horse's mouth.
1917 Congressional Record - JP Morgan buys 25% of leading newspapers so as to control the narrative. Today - 6 mega corporations own all major media.
1954 Dodd Report to the Reece Committee RE: Investigation of Tax Exempt Organizations in support of Un-American Activities
1963 Congressional Record - Communist Goals in America
2019 The Democracy Playbook - Preventing and Reversing Democratic Backsliding - this is a recipe book for Color Revolutions
2020 Transition Integrity Project - the D playbook for setting up a contested election including the gaming out of West Coast states secession.
If Americans chose to, they could have payed attention with one ear and one eye; but they haven't. So here we are.

The tri-county PDX MSA is @ 49% of the population base in OR, like it or don't what happens in PDX on the local level has an outsized impact on not just the rest of OR, but the West coast as a whole.
Well, now...
Admittedly will vote biden, because...basically orange man bad. Morality you know, its the decent thing to do...for the children. Ethical boundaries, you know...
While on the morality high horse, completely ignores questions about abortion (and its disproportional impacts on minorites), the lefts attack on religion, attacks on 1A and of course 2A, because...well, orange man bad, think of the children. JFC! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Ignores conspiracies from the left, constant false attacks including what evidence is showing was in fact a great russia hoax, to the point one could argue there was criminal behavior.
Calls out conspiracy! when it goes against their narrative, yet when asked doesnt specify what conspiracy in which they took issue so it can be discussed openly.
Know anyone like this?
I do, the wife of a very good friend.

You're kind of making my point. A century-old congressional record, two documents over 50 years old, and two recent bipartisan studies where isolated parts were cherry-picked for impact, unnaturally inflated, and extrapolated to their worst possible interpretation. Don't get me wrong, I believe the state of our divisive political trajectory won't end well for any of us. That said, I categorically refuse to let "Glen Beck" be the prophet I choose to follow. I ain't drinking that Kool-Aide.
I may be a dolt, but I see A LOT Of simple emotional manipulation with Becks daily entertainment format. For me he comes off just another useful tool for creating more division we don't need.
( I would imagine ? ) , He has Bosses that dictate daily guideline for his talking points, because they are the ones that offered and gave him the contractual arrangement for national syndicated radio program, and they are the ones paying him good coin-$$$ for maintaining a listening audience.

Writing in my Dad ... he would have been an awesome President.But you're still voting for Biden, ain't you?
I not sure how posting those facts makes your point that documents - (a) don't exist, or (b) are from hard-right like-minded sketchy sources, or (c) are snippets of much larger discussions that are taken way out of context
Two documents that are more than 50 yrs old - absent evidence to refute them as fact I am not sure what your objection is to these
Bi partisan study - you mean the Dodd Report that was presented in full and not taken out of context in any way?
The last two documents are D documents
*I despise Glen Beck
