Glenn Beck Explains Why He's Leaving FOX News

FOX News host Glenn Beck announced Wednesday he would be ending his highly rated daily program on the FOX News Channel at the end of the year, but will continue "to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air" on FOX News and other related digital platforms.

Beck used the last few minutes of his show on Wednesday to explain his departure. "When I took this job I didn't take it because it was going to be a career for me. Paul Revere did not get up on the horse and say, 'I'm going to do this for the rest of my life.' He didn't do it. He got off his horse at some point and fought in the revolution, and then he went back to silversmithing."

It was rumored Beck had a contentious relationship with FOX, despite the popularity of his program -- the third highest-rated show on the channel.

Audio: Glenn Beck Breaking the story of former SEIU leader Steven Lerner's plan to attack JP Morgan Chase

On radio this morning, Glenn broke a story that he called a “clear case of economic terrorism”. In shocking audio Glenn received over the weekend, former SEIU leader Steven Lerner lays out a plan to attack JP Morgan Chase.

“Yesterday afternoon in my office, Scott Baker came in from The Blaze and he said here is the tape I said I want the unedited tape.  He said it’s 25 minutes. This is the unedited tape.  We listened to it,” Glenn described.

“I called in all of the producers.  I called in all the heads of my company, and we sat in a room and we listened to Americans describe how they were going to take down a major U.S. bank in May and how they were going to collapse the stock market and bring on a second economic collapse, how this could not appear to be coordinated and could not appear to be coordinated or union‑backed, how the unions were dead and the only way to really restart the unions is to collapse the system.”

 

“When you hear this tape, you will recognize some of the things that we have been warning about.  You will recognize what I believe the Pentagon was warning people about.”

Stu gave the context on who exactly Steven Lerner is, “The entire time [Glenn was] speaking about SEIU, this guy, by his own description, was the director of SEIU’s banking and finance campaign.  He’s not just some guy in some little group.  He is a big figure in SEIU until very recently and the entire time you were talking about SEIU, this is the guy heading up the banking.”
