Conservative media mogul Glenn Beck lamented the future of his media empire on a Tuesday episode of his radio program if Donald Trump, frontrunner for the Republican nomination, were to be elected President of the United States.

Beck and his co-hosts began by talking about former presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s claim that the rise of non-traditional media companies (like Beck’s The Blaze) were responsible for the country’s increasing partisanship.

“Do you think The Blaze makes it under a Republican administration? Honestly?” Beck asked his cohosts.

Under the 2012 Republican candidate? No, the hosts agreed, but the outlook won’t be much better with the 2016 frontrunner.

“Donald Trump would put us out of business overnight,” Beck said on the Glenn Beck Radio Program. “He would put us out of business. He would work tirelessly to put us out of business.”
