Why fame could be the worst thing to ever happen to you

November 17, 2014
 Wilson

Writer

It seems like everyone is looking for their shot at fame, but living a life under the spotlight may not be worth all the glory. Celebrities are constantly scrutinized for the smallest superficial offenses. Too fat. Too skinny. What are they wearing? Even worse, it's easy to get addicted to all of the attention. Glenn offered his perspective on the curse of fame on today's radio show.

"Fame is one of the worst things you can imagine. It really is. Because you get used to it. And you get comfortable with it. And the minute you start to see it slip, you're like, wait, I've got to do that or I've got to do this," Glenn said "If you are a celebrity, I just don't think that you slide into obscurity gently if you're a real uber celebrity without really having a handle on yourself."

"I say this because of the FOX days. Obviously you're on FOX, that's the biggest stage in the world. You come off of that stage and it screws you up. It really does. It really messes with your head. And it's difficult. And unless you know who you are, you're not going to make it."

You see many celebrities today having trouble making transitions in their career as they seek to redefine their image and maintain success. Glenn noted that Miley Cyrus is the perfect example of someone doing whatever it takes to stay in the spotlight.

"Imagine being Miley Cyrus. She knows, okay, so I'm leaving this and now I'm going to go do music. That's why they all go to sex trash, because they know they can milk that. And they just -- they just want it to continue. Just don't stop. Don't stop. Love me, love me, love me, love me. It's weird," he said.

When Glenn first started doing television at CNN, he experienced a lot of the scrutiny and superficiality of the media business. While in line at the salad bar, one of the company vice presidents actually came up to him at the salad bar and saw he had put blue cheese on his plate. The executive actually said to him "I hope that's light blue cheese".

"I looked at him and I said, I feel sorry for the women who work here. Don't ever say that to me again. He was dead serious," Glenn said.

Revolution on the Rise: How Marxism’s Early Stages Are Happening NOW

The far Left has intensified its push toward Marxism for months now, but it's more than clever catchphrases or slogans. Their radical rhetoric and policies have violent consequences.

Calls to defund the police have led to officers being ambushed and killed. Crime is spiking in record amounts all over the country. Critical race theory has the government, corporations, and now schools brainwashing Americans to believe the entire system is systemically racist. And it's paved the way for actual violence in the streets from groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa.

On his BlazeTV exclusive show, Glenn Beck exposes their endgame: tearing the entire system down. Marxists did this in the Soviet Union and China, among other places. Millions died, and the first to feel the brunt were always the landowners and farmers. The most recent example of this is happening in South Africa, where Glenn reveals terrifying on-the-ground interviews.

As American farmers now also face unprecedented racial discrimination by our federal government, award-winning South African journalist Lara Logan warns of what could happen if the seeds of Marxism aren't uprooted now.

Glenn Beck: 'I DON'T recognize my country anymore'

Glenn Beck has been warning since last summer that you would not recognize your country in a year. Well, it's not even summer yet, and he says he already doesn't recognize the country.

Do you recognize an America in which people are making more money off government unemployment benefits than they can make by working, inflation is ramping up, housing, supply and labor shortages are widespread, and the current administration gives cybercriminals from Russia a free pass after the biggest cyberattack on our nation's infrastructure to date?

On the radio program this week, Glenn pointed out that while businesses all over the nation are downsizing, one brand store is actually booming — and it says a lot about the state of the economy and what it means for our country's future.

Glenn Beck: Cyberattack on US pipeline points to 'Axis powers' of a 'digital World War III'

The largest American gas pipeline shut down on Friday due to what experts told the media was the "most dramatic cyberattack on U.S. soil to date." Investigators are looking at a group believed to be based in Russia known as "DarkSide."

It's time our leaders in the White House take national security seriously because this isn't the first time enemies of the U.S. — namely Russia and China — have used the cyber world to attack our nation and weaken our infrastructure, Glenn Beck argued on the radio program. Between Russia, China, and Iran — which President Joe Biden is now trying to make another nuclear deal with — it looks like the "Axis powers" of a "digital World War III" are lining up

"The journalists seem to care about the price of gasoline for the first time. Is it because they actually care? Or is it because they're trying not to focus on the fact that this was an attack most likely from Russia? And it isn't the first cyberattack from Russia of the year ... maybe we should be paying attention, to Vladimir Putin," Glenn began.

"And by the way, the pipeline going down, that's not the only [cyberattack] happening now," he added later. "Thirty thousand U.S. victims, small businesses and local governments, were hacked by cyber espionage units backed by the Chinese government in January of this year."

"There is an 'Axis power.' It is Russia and China. And, by the way, who is also aligned with Russia and China? Iran. Wow, this is weird," Glenn surmised. "But don't worry about that. Just leave your dog tags on another table. Let's not talk about China. Let's not talk about who actually crashed the jugular of our oil pipelines. I don't want war. But I got news for you ... this Biden administration is doing the job for our enemies."

'It's a death by a thousand cuts': Jordan Peterson on why staying silent is WORSE than facing the woke mob

Canadian clinical psychologist, author, and cultural firebrand Jordan Peterson is no stranger to cancel culture. Ever since he was thrust into the culture war, he has faced one controversy after another, stirred up by the woke elites who hate him with a passion. But although they have tried to make him pay for speaking out so fearlessly against their message, he refuses to back down and he believes you should, too. He joined "The Glenn Beck Podcast" this week to explain why.

"There is a growth of the reluctant hero in all stories ... so many people think that they don't have what it takes, that they're not the hero," Glenn said to Peterson. "How do you get people to recognize and then have the courage to stand? You've taken a beating ... why is it worth it and how do you get there?"

"I think it's worth it because I believe the alternative is worse ... to stay silent when you have something to say," Peterson replied. "You don't know what it is within you that requires your voice, right, because you feel like 'I have something to say.' Where does that come from exactly, that feeling that you have something to say?

"Maybe you're disgruntled at work and you're choking on your own bile because the situation is not just in your estimation," he continued. "You're dying to say something, but you won't. Well, you'll die if you don't say it. Maybe it's a death by a thousand cuts. I don't like deferred punishment. I'd rather take it now and keep the future clean, which is why I encourage people to have the fights now, not to hide things in the fog for later. They grow and metastasize. It's better to confront what you need to confront when it's small and you have some possibility of victory."
