NEW YORK, NY – JANUARY 17: Bob Beckel Rejoins “The Five” at FOX Studios on January 17, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by Roy Rochlin/Getty Images) Longtime Democratic strategist and former liberal co-host of “The Five” Bob Beckel died on Monday. He was 73. Beckel’s friend and co-author Cal Thomas announced Beckel’s death on Facebook Monday afternoon: My friend and spiritual brother, Bob Beckel, has passed into the presence of the Lord he loved. We did so many things together and I hope we modeled what two people of different political persuasions can be like when they love one another. For ten years we wrote the “Common Ground” column for USA Today and a book by that title. The name of his ironically titled autobiography is “I Should Be Dead.” It is a highly readable book about a difficult life that was dramatically changed in the last 15 years. I will see you soon Bob. You are loved. As of this writing, the cause of death has not been disclosed.
“He was always full of joy, happiness, light, sunshine. He loved God and Jesus, and we miss him already. God bless you. Godspeed, Bob Beckel,” said a visibly emotional Sean Hannity, who revealed that his children called Beckel “Uncle Bob.” As he signed off his show Monday night, in place of his typical “let not your heart be troubled,” he said, “My heart is troubled.”
Laura Ingraham added, “He was an old-time liberal who you could fight with … but we always had a laugh afterwards.” Very sad news. Bob Beckel has died. One of the few liberal pundits you can truly like and respect despite political disagreements. pic.twitter.com/iexY8lai7X

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
