Glenn Beck: A Changed Man?

Glenn Beck speaks before Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, during a campaign rally in Lafayette, Ind., Sunday, May 1, 2016.

First on TV and now online at TheBlaze.com, Glenn Beck has spent more than a decade preaching about a variety of Byzantine plots and political demons, from theories of FEMA concentration camps to Obama's "deep-seated hatred of white people."

Yet, since his departure from Fox News in 2011, the conservative firebrand has found himself increasingly at odds with his base. Beck has vehemently disavowed Donald Trump and expressed empathy for the Black Lives Matter movement, all amid reports that his media empire is faltering.

Now, Beck claims to be a new man. For the past few months, he has been on a sort of mainstream media apology tour, talking with Vice, Charlie Rose, MSNBC, and the New York Times to pronounce himself chastened and call for partisan reconciliation. Bob speaks with Beck about the sincerity of his new apologetic, introspective persona.
