You may already have seen the video from June 2013, where Glenn Beck talked about a whistleblowerYouTube who wanted to come forward with information that would bring down the Democrats, and the Republicans, and everything. He was visibly shaken, He was going to release the info the next day, but then said nothing. The rumor was that his life had been threatened.

During the next few years, Glenn Beck got sad, and reflective, and at times rather weird. He cried on-air. I'm sure most people are aware of his reputation as an odd duck. But there are some things I didn't know, or didn't connect, until now.

1. In 2013 an anti-child-trafficking organization was created, Operation Underground Railroad, with a bunch of Navy SEALs and special forces folks. Beck gave them $1.5 million to get started. (Info in Blaze story linked below.)

2. In May 2016, Beck was suspended by SiriusXM after a guest, Brad Thor, made a sketchy remark about Trump being "assassinated". Beck supported Ted Cruz at that time, with surprising fervor. He warned of "civil war" if Trump won.

3. In September 2016, Cruz endorsed Trump, and Beck had an angry, disproportionately betrayed-sounding meltdownYouTube. "There is no difference between the two teams any more! ... And so, we will just soak each other in buckets of blood!"

4. Immediately after the election, Beck shared his perspectiveYouTube, trying to bring the country together. He said, "We are going to pay for the sins of the past. There's gonna be dark days ahead." He warned that all Americans are going to be struggling to figure out "what the hell just happened." He said, "I want Donald Trump to know he is my President."

5. A few weeks later, Beck did a joint show with Samantha BeeYouTube, trying (awkwardly but sincerely) to bring the country together. Notice the date: Dec 19th.

6. Two days after that, The Blaze did a story about Beck, Operation Underground Railroad, and Haiti. Let that sink in. Beck sat down with Sam Bee and tried to unite the country, then he went to Haiti to do a story about child sex trafficking.

Okay, with me so far? Here's the next thing. Beck appeared on Tucker Carlson on January 9YouTube, where Tucker was relatively nice, almost deferential to him, making him the first guest in Tucker's new time slot. Beck adopted a wait-and-see attitude about Trump. One exchange stands out: "Do you think being in this business makes you happy? Has it made you happy?" Beck: "No. ... Thinking that my voice was bigger than it is ... that we can move people and change the world, it made me very unhappy. That's not my job, it's not any of our jobs. Our job is just to be ourselves, and try to be a good example. And by doing that, Tucker, I've learned a lot in the last five years." He added, referring to the country: "We're stronger than we were, than I thought, but we're also, um, in more trouble in some ways than I thought, at least eight years ago."

Beck has since criticized Trump on a variety of subjects, and praised him on others. But both Cruz and Beck seem to be solidly behind Jeff Sessions.
