Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck, both former Fox News hosts, are now teaming up for a new show on The Blaze.
“We’re going to do that every Friday until Beck gets tired of me,” O’Reilly said Monday on his “No Spin News” podcast. “And it’s a good outlet for me to, you know, discuss things back and forth with Beck, who’s a good friend. We don’t agree on everything, but it’s very lively.”
As for Beck, the prospect of working with O’Reilly isn’t dimmed by the sexual harassment allegations that had been leveled against the former Fox host that led to his departure. In fact, Beck simply doesn’t believe that those claims are true.
“He had access [at Fox] to very beautiful women,” he said. “We never saw him utter a word that was even blue humor. He was so buttoned up when he was around us, I find these charges hard to believe.”

Last week, Beck said that O’Reilly had reached out to him both the day he was fired from Fox and the day that he returned from his vacation.
“I just got an email from Bill a little while ago that said he’s on his way home — he’s been on vacation; he’s been in Italy — and so he’s on his way home,” Beck said on his Blaze show on Wednesday.
Then, on Friday, Beck seemed to offer O’Reilly a job at the Blaze, saying, “I would like you to work for The Blaze. I could not get the cable coverage by myself because I’m not powerful enough, unless you have a giant corporation behind you.
“If we could unite our powers for good, as opposed to evil — but that’s another conversation.”
