friendly. he likes glenn personally, which i don t doubt. at some point, everyone at fox news, sean hannity, they all realize they re there and doing as well as they re doing because of roger ailes. it seems from the outside looking in glenn is the only one who doesn t think that. there is some inherent friction there. i think glenn is the only person who has his own advisory around him. he has his own company, mercury arts that made about $40 million in revenue. glenn beck sees himself as an entrepreneur. for good reason. making that much money. i would call that an entrepreneur. i think there s competition there. i m in the wrong business. yes, you are. so i could put like vicks in
