Glenn Beck has built a strong conservative media competitor with TheBlaze. However, he believes the company doesn’t feature everyone in lockstep with his opinions, and he prefers it that way.
During The Glenn Beck Program Monday, Beck was discussing the Super Bowl, and the reaction to a commercial from the #HeGetsUs group advocating for people to return to church and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
That’s when the longtime nationally syndicated host argued that one of the benefits of his media company is the idea that not everyone needs to agree with each other, pointing to the reaction from one of his digital hosts as proof.
“Some people have a problem — in fact, let me read Steve Deace, who I really like, I just happened to disagree with him. But that is the glory of TheBlaze,” said Beck. “We don’t all have to agree, and we don’t force each other to agree. ‘You will say this!’ No. We’re against the whole fascistic brainwashing kind of thing.”
Beck then read Deace’s post on X about the #HeGetsUs ad, which argued the commercial was a misrepresentation of Jesus.
“I disagree. I’m not mad at this ad at all,” Beck said. “I think it was — it could have been done better by really pointing out our real differences.”
Beck’s comments on disagreements inside his company are similar to those made by The Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing last year after a public spat between co-founder Ben Shapiro and host Candace Owens for her comments about the Israel/Hamas conflict. At the time, Boreing said the company had “a desire not to regulate the speech of our hosts, even when we disagree with them.”
