Carol Roth
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
Glenn Beck
Hello, Stu, how are you?
Stu
Great day.
Glenn Beck
It is.
Stu
What a great day, man. It is seriously.
Glenn Beck
Finally some good news.
Stu
Yeah, I know.
Glenn Beck
I mean, it could go away tomorrow, but let's have faith.
Stu
Can't go away tomorrow. The Blue Jays beat the Yankees. It's over. That series is over.
Glenn Beck
No, we were talking about the peace in the Middle East.
Stu
Wait, what happened? No, that's fantastic. I mean, what an incredible development.
Glenn Beck
And who would have ever thought that you would have. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, and kind of Jordan, all in saying, we're with the United States and Israel, we want peace. Here's how we get there. And Hamas does it.
Stu
These are all things that could not have possibly existed very recently.
Glenn Beck
No. And you know why I am convinced? I mean, I've talked to Donald Trump about so many different things, but the best example of this is he will not allow me to ask him a question about assassination in the future. Okay? I've asked him, are you concerned about. I don't even want to talk about it. Don't talk about it. Don't talk about it. He calls into existence. He knows the power of thought. He knows the power of language, and he is. He never will call something into existence like that. Okay? You can believe him or not believe him, but he will not ever do that. He only tries to think positively about things. He's called this into existence where everybody else said, you know, state Department says, can't be done, can't be done. Nobody wants to do this. That's too big of a. He doesn't care. He just walks in, he's like, hey, everybody, what do you say we changed the game entirely? What is it going to take for all of you to. To recognize Israel? Israel, what is it going to take for you to stop? And Gaza, what is it going to take for you to return the hostages. Let's do that deal. I mean, it's just this big thinking where he doesn't say, can't be done. He never says, can't be done, and that's why he moves mountains. It's just the power of positive thinking. It's the power of your thoughts are creative, so be careful, choose your thoughts and change the world.
Stu
And that's why he's able to cross these, you know, these lines that people just don't think things are possible. Even if. If, you know, we don't know how this is going to turn out. No, there's a lie. To be clear, there's a million things that could go wrong with this piece.
Glenn Beck
Scriptures tell us not gonna last.
Stu
Right.
Glenn Beck
You know what I mean? It's. You know, we don't know where this.
Stu
Thing ends, but just the attempt. Like, it's the. I would say, argue the same thing with Ukraine and Russia. Right. Like, he. He went in there with this idea of, I'm going to solve this, and that one has not been solved. Right. He. But this is how he approaches these things.
Glenn Beck
Right. And it's not that. It's not that he can control other people. He can't control how Putin looks at it, et cetera, et cetera, but he doesn't say no to big ideas.
Stu
Yeah. Right.
Glenn Beck
And that allows him to approach. Everybody tries to nibble at the edges on everything. On everything. Look at how this guy has moved mountains. It's because he comes in, he's like, yeah, we're not doing it that way anymore. Here's what we're going to do. Um, you know, look at the difference in the State Department. Look at the difference in Marco Rubio. You know what I mean?
Stu
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Marco Rubio is like one of the.
Stu
Best.
Glenn Beck
State Department officials I've ever seen.
Stu
Secretaries of State.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Have you ever. Have you seen a better Secretary of State than him?
Stu
Well, Hillary, you got to throw that into the conversation.
Glenn Beck
It's because they're just saying what's true. They're very clear. They don't compromise. I mean, they will compromise, but not on the principles. If these hostages are not returned on Monday or Tuesday, it'll be over. He's not going to go. Okay, well, let's give you some more money. Let's do that. No, we're not flying cash onto a tarmac.
Stu
Is this his best issue?
Glenn Beck
Yes.
Stu
Of his entire presidency going back to the first term?
Glenn Beck
Yes. Historically speaking, for sure.
Stu
Cause I think my argument would be the border. Probably. And I do think this Second term, the border has been an overwhelming, unquestioned success. But, like, I think the basis for what happened here was set in the first Trump term.
Glenn Beck
It was.
Stu
This is really something that has extended over both terms. He didn't get enough credit for it in the first term. We argued that constantly.
Glenn Beck
And as soon as they came in, it was all reversed. People want war there. Yeah, he doesn't. He doesn't want war, you're right.
Stu
And people accused him of that. Of course. They always say, you know, warmonger and all these other things. I think he really does believe that to his core. And the only reason I think this stuff might be possible. And again, with all disclaimers aside for a moment here, because we do know this is a very difficult road ahead on this, but the relationship.
Glenn Beck
Hang on, just. This is not just a difficult road. This is the moonshot of peace deals.
Stu
Yeah. It's the one everyone mocks how many.
Glenn Beck
Times, burning up on the. On the launch pad. I mean, this is the moonshot.
Stu
Yeah. And that's a. We've already started to see Hamas whine about stuff.
Glenn Beck
Who.
Stu
God only knows where this ends. But the basis for this even to be possible was set up in his first term with the improvement of relationships between these other Arab countries in the region and Israel. The fact that, I mean, people are like, oh, what's Israel even giving up here? They are allowing, if this goes through a bunch of these countries that for the past half century have attacked them every three years.
Glenn Beck
Oh, don't, don't, don't, Don't. It's 80 years.
Stu
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Glenn Beck
It's just since their founding, just since.
Stu
Their founding, have been attacked by a lot of these countries over and over again, and oftentimes in coalition with each other. They're allowing them to come in and if this goes down the road, oversee part of their own country.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, right.
Stu
They are giving up a massive thing here. And they only do that if they actually had some trust with these nations and, of course, trust of the United States to help enforce it.
Glenn Beck
Here's Trump's genius. You're exactly right. This was planted with the other countries last time with the Abraham Accords. Okay, they gained trust, but the Palestinians didn't have any trust because, remember, we're the Great Satan, you know, little Satan, blah, blah, blah. He has gotten the rest of the countries in the Middle east to say, no, they're not the. The little Satan. They have a right to exist. We can coexist with them, blah, blah, blah. That's Never been done. Okay, Never been done. He did that last time, remember, when Qatar was attacked by Israel? Okay. Just recently.
Stu
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And it's a big factor. And, and Donald Trump and everybody was like, wait, what are you doing? Donald Trump came out and read Benjamin Netanyahu the riot act and said, apologize, okay? And Benjamin Netanyahu did, okay, that's the key on this one. He, you don't, you can't take Donald Trump at the moment alone. You have to look at his strategy. He is playing three dimensional chess. When he said that, he knew that was the key. They're now, they're all saying, now that was the key because when he did that with Qatar and defended Qatar and said, hey, no, play nice, everybody play nice. And Benjamin Netanyahu did apologize. That separated the United States from Israel, as you know, just a little, you know, that we're all in it together. That's little Satan. We're big Satan. It showed that the President is a, a fair and neutral broker and will look at both sides. And Israel isn't always right, the Middle east isn't always wrong. He showed that to them. That was the moment that the Palestinians said, okay, now wait a minute, maybe he is a somewhat honest broker for being the Great Satan. That's what brought this to a head and brought everybody to the table and said, okay, we can trust Donald Trump. That's an amazing thing.
Stu
Yeah, this is, you know, it's unequivocal here and this is, you know, you still have to get this over the finish line. But these are incredible accomplishments. They're accomplishments that every, I mean, it has become. For as long as I've been involved in politics and world events and cared about it at all, it has been the joke, oh, Middle east peace right around the corner. It has been the joke that it's impossible, that it will always be promised. And again, we gotta get there. But this is as close as we've ever been.
Glenn Beck
Would anyone ever say Gaza should be the Riviera? You would say no. No. Donald Trump, his vision from the beginning has been this can be prosperous. This could be the Riviera. You just have to stop the terrorism. So he got the Middle east together and the Middle east now says we'll rebuild. We're not rebuilding it. We don't, I don't want a dime going to rebuild that. They'll rebuild it. They'll guarantee the peace there because they'll have their money invested in it in hotels and golf courses and whatever they want to do and make it the Riviera. That changes everything, all the dynamics because now the, the Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Qatar and everything else they're going to be pulling, pouring billions of dollars into it. They're not going to want it wrecked. I mean, he's just, he's brilliant, the guy. If he doesn't get a Nobel Prize, assuming this hostages come home next week, you know. Yeah, God only knows. But the guy deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Stu
And I think they would just dissolve the, the award before they came to him. They're like, no, no, no, that Nobel.
Glenn Beck
Prize thing, that was yesterday. We don't do that anymore.
Stu
We didn't pay our rent, the building's closed. Yeah, like they're. But he will quite obviously deserve it if this happens.
Glenn Beck
Have you heard what the rest of the world is saying about him? I mean, all the leaders from all over the world are like, this is amazing. And the only reason it happened is because of Donald Trump. What is the left going to say? How do you, how do you, how do the protesters. If this ends, I mean, this is, this is why it won't end. If it doesn't, because there is too much power that they'll be giving up on the streets of Europe and America and all over the world. You. How, how do you have the Palestinian protesters on the streets tearing our cities apart? You don't. You don't. It's over. It's over. I mean, this is just genius from start to finish. Let me tell you about relief factor. Pain doesn't just slow you down. It rewrites your life. It starts scheduling your days around what hurts, you know, making excuses for the things you can't do that you used to do on Used to Love. But what if that wasn't your story anymore? What if you could take back your mornings, your hobbies, your life, just one simple packet at a time. That is relief factor. It's not a quick fix. It is not some crazy fad. It is a daily supplement that is specifically designed like ibuprofen and everything. I think they have two in major ingredients that work on inflammation. This has four of the ingredients that are known to work. It combines them and it gives your body the ability to fight inflammation, which is what causes most of our pain and quite honestly most of our disease as well. You got to get rid of the inflammation. Try their three week quick start. Give it a try for only 1995. Visit relieffactor.com or call 800 the number for relief. 800 the number four. Really. Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Well, Carol Roth, welcome to the program. How are you?
Carol Roth
I'm doing great, Glenn. I'm actually celebrating my 26th wedding anniversary.
Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh.
Carol Roth
So it's a blessed day.
Glenn Beck
Oh, well, congratulations. Congratulations. You know, it's weird. I'm coming up on my 26th in January.
Carol Roth
Oh, fabulous. Fabulous. It's a good amount of time to be married. For sure.
Glenn Beck
It is. So, Carol, let's talk a little bit about the price of gold hitting. What is it?
Carol Roth
It's over 4,000.
Glenn Beck
Over 4,000, which is nuts. And I don't think people really understand. I don't think the average. This is my guess, and I want you to correct me. I don't think the average person is buying gold. I think this gold buying is happening from sovereign funds and central banks, mainly also Asian markets. I don't think Americans really understand what $4,000 an ounce means. Can you explain it?
Carol Roth
Yeah, absolutely. You know, obviously, I think that the world, both investors and central banks are catch catching up to the things that you and I have been talking about for years. So, you know, we were ahead, we warned everyone, and now this is a little bit of catch up. Interestingly, you know, as you noted, the average American is very behind in terms of what gold means. When you look at Chinese households, when you look at Indian households, there are estimates that each one of those countries households owns about up to 30,000 tons of gold at this point. Which, to put that in context, the U.S. government owns 8,133 tons.
Glenn Beck
So Indian households, all of them combined, 27,000 tons.
Carol Roth
Right.
Glenn Beck
What we have, what we say we have is 8100.
Carol Roth
Right.
Stu
Wow.
Carol Roth
So the households in China and India are really ahead of the curve. When you look at data for the US It's a little bit hard to get good data. But from what I've seen, the estimates are only about 10 to 11% of US households at all have exposure to gold. Now, I know that your audience is very sophisticated and is ahead of the curve and I would imagine blows through that number, but just shows how sort of unprepared US Households are in general.
Glenn Beck
When you're looking at Indian and Chinese households that own gold, is that, does that include all the gold jewelry? Yes. Yes. Okay. All right.
Carol Roth
Yes. That's actually, particularly in India, sort of one of their preferred ways of procuring gold.
Glenn Beck
Okay, so gold has shot up over $4,000 in record time. I mean, breathtaking time.
Carol Roth
Yes.
Glenn Beck
What is causing that?
Carol Roth
Okay, so there are a confluence of factors, and I think the Two most important factors, which of course are linked are what Wall street is now calling the debt debasement trade, which they've just caught onto and gave it a cute name, and the changing global financial order. And those are very much linked. So I'll go into each of them.
Glenn Beck
So yeah, tell me what the, what is it? The debt debasement. What is that?
Carol Roth
They're calling it the debt debasement trade, which is just basically what you and I have been talking about, which is our unsustainable fiscal position and what all of the money printing that we've seen over the past 17 years, what that has done to our purchasing power and how that is going to catch up to us. So as a reminder you our debt to GDP is at emerging market crisis levels. We were 120 plus percent of GDP. We're running deficits that are equivalent to a wartime level or a recession level while we still have growth, which is crazy, we have interest rate that is outpacing defense or interest payments that are outpacing defense spending. So everyone is now finally catching on to the fact that this is an unsustainable financial position and it is going to be very difficult to get out of without there being some sort of additional debasement of our currency, which is a fancy way of saying a diminishment of your purchasing power. What's really crazy, there's a chart that's been going around and they did kind of a comparison of different asset classes. Priced in US dollars and priced in gold. So if you look from the end of September 2018 out seven years and you look at the top 100 NASDAQ non financial companies, it's called the NDX. In US dollar terms that is up 236%. So you think you're super rich, right? But in gold terms, solid money that doesn't, you know, doesn't have its value debased, it's only up 4.7%. Oh my gosh, wait, it gets worse. The s and P500 up 133% over that period. In dollar terms it's down 27.6%. In gold terms and what's called the Case Shiller Home Price Index, which is the value of homes, the way that that's measured in dollar terms, up 60%, we'll say, oh, you know, houses so expensive in gold terms it's down 50%. In fact, right now it takes less gold in terms of ounces to buy the median single family house than it has in, you know, decades and decades. And decades. So it goes to show that even though we see these dollars, they're buying less and less. And now you and I have been talking about this forever, but now Wall street is catching on. Oh, that's not a great thing. And so in terms of preserving the hard earned capital, we need something that is that hedge, that neutral hedge that's going to retain its value. And that's why more investors, institutional investors, funny enough, a lot of millennials, more than anyone, starting to really get in to gold.
Glenn Beck
You know why? Because millennials have not been trained their whole life. Trust the system.
Carol Roth
Yes.
Glenn Beck
And they see it clearly and they look at it and they're like, well, this doesn't make any sense at all. You can't spend this and you know you're going to, you're going to wreck the dollar and everything else. They just see it without being trained over and over and over again that, oh, no, trust the system. They don't trust the system. And once you realize that system is rigged in a million different ways and the system is not telling you the truth, like, I mean, that is amazing. When, when you look at the stock market and you say it's actually down when you compare it in US Dollars to gold, what's happening is. Let me explain this to the audience. What all that means is gold is only going up in dollars. It's staying, it's staying stable.
Carol Roth
Yes.
Glenn Beck
But it's costing you more because of inflation. The dollars are buying less. So it looks like you're paying more, but you're really not. It looks like the stock market is going up, but it's really not. It's what it costs to get in with dollars. If you were going in with gold, you'll actually see that if it was all done in gold, the stock market is down, the price of housing is down. It's the dollar you had takes more dollars to buy than it does with gold, which holds its value. That is that if people could understand that. One thing that changes all of the conversations of the government's got to do something to make housing more affordable. No, they don't. They have to stabilize the dollar. They have to stop spending so much money.
Carol Roth
Yeah. I mean, if you think of the three definitions of money, it is a medium of exchange. You know how you help to exchange goods. It's a unit of account, which we say things are priced in dollars. And it's supposed to be a store of value. The unit of account that you just talked about. My friend Steve Forbes has a great analogy, and he talks about other measurements. You know, imagine that your clock, you know, one day, you know, 12 o' clock means midnight, and another day, 3 o' clock means midnight, or 6 inches to measure a curtain one day, and then the same measurement is like a foot a different day. You can't have a consistent measurement if the unit of account continues to change. And that's what we've been seeing here with the dollar. And unfortunately, it has not been to our favor. Which means that when you work really hard to earn something and it's valued in a dollar, that over time, that work that you've put out, your productivity is worth less and less. And so what gold is meant to do, it's meant to be capital preservation. It's not a risk asset. It's not meant to take on risk and maybe go up a ton and maybe go down a ton. It's really meant to be a counterbalance to what you have earned so that you can preserve your purchasing power.
Glenn Beck
I've been saying this for a long time, that you put your money, and I have money in stock market, but you put your money in the stock market. If things really go awry, go ahead, you're going to cash out for an awful lot of money. But those dollars, it's going to be paid back to you in dollars. Those dollars will be worth less, even though there's more of them stacked up than that ounce of gold or that, you know, 10 ounces of gold or whatever you had. The stock market is paid in dollars, and is it. So as the inflation goes up, but gold keeps its value, keeps its value and holds it steady. So, yeah, you're going to be paid more in dollars if you try to sell your gold, but that's going to continue to increase while stock markets will go down. Am I right?
Carol Roth
And it's a counterbalance. So if things were to shift and for some reason things were to change with the dollars, which would need a lot of different catalyst, then your gold goes down. It's a counterbalance, which is why it's important to have that diversification in your portfolio and to have the gold hedge. What's interesting, Glenn, is just the history. We're talking about millennials, you know, they went through the Great Recession, financial crisis. You know, they're kind of keyed into this. But if you think about when we came out of the 70s with this crazy inflation, we came out of the gold standard. It used to be very commonplace for a financial advisor to sit down and say, ok, we've been through this, and so you should be putting 5 to 10% of your portfolio in gold. As the stock market took off in dollars and became this big thing and they started seeking fees that went away. And financial advisors who don't get paid sometimes at all when you allocate to gold, stop recommending it. And now we're seeing a shift back. Now we're seeing, oh, yes, you should have some. Some of the big names out there saying even more.
Glenn Beck
Ray Dalio just came out and said 15%.
Carol Roth
Yes, we've seen from big names like that anywhere from 10 to 20. And when they surveyed high net worth investors, which are $250,000 or assets or more, they're averaging right now 21% of their holdings in gold. So a very big flip in recent years on how this is is being viewed by the people who have accumulated those dollars and are worried about them.
Glenn Beck
Okay, so let me just summarize here before we move on onto some other questions. That is exactly what my grandfather who lived through the Depression said. What are the people with big, large amounts of money doing? Yeah, I want to do that. And if I would have done that, I would have been better off in the Great Depression. You just heard it. 20% or more, right? For big dollars, they're investing in gold. 20%, you should have some.
Carol Roth
And it's interesting, some of the portfolios we're seeing, some of that is coming not necessarily from the equity piece, but from the fixed income piece, which is pretty interesting too. Amazing.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here. We welcome now to the studios the very special, very talented daughter of mine, Cheyenne Grace.
Cheyenne Grace
Hi. Thanks for having me.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, you're welcome. She loves it.
Cheyenne Grace
Thanks for letting me visit you.
Glenn Beck
He's always, he's always like, she came in, she's like, I'm gonna vomit blood.
Cheyenne Grace
No, I was like, dude, I feel like I'm a throw up.
Glenn Beck
But it's, you know, you. Your mom said. When did you come into town? Tuesday.
Cheyenne Grace
Tuesday. I flew in Tuesday.
Glenn Beck
And your mom and I were out doing some stuff. And she said, cheyenne comes in in a couple hours. And I had forgotten that you were flying in that day. And I mean, my stomach just jumped. I was so excited. I miss you so much.
Cheyenne Grace
Miss you. Yeah, it's been like a good month and a half since I moved, so I know it's been a while. It's been A time, you know, you.
Glenn Beck
Were there with Charlie Kirk when I was.
Cheyenne Grace
Yeah. My friends and I went to the event to go and just kind of see what the environment was like, because we've seen it all over TikTok, like all of his events, and we just wanted to see what the vibe was like. And then things just took a really big turn and it was really scary, and we're. We're getting through it, and it's. It's difficult. And, you know, all of our hearts are just with Charlie's family and his team, and everyone who was close to him knew him anyway. It's just. It's terrible.
Glenn Beck
So many people feel like they knew him even though they didn't. I mean, because you kind of feel that way, don't you? Did you ever meet Charlie?
Cheyenne Grace
I met him once, and he was very kind.
Glenn Beck
But, like, you watch him, he was so personal and personable and. And so real that I think a lot of people, even though they never met him, they kind of felt like they were friends, you know, they knew him.
Cheyenne Grace
Yeah, for sure. That's. That's what a lot of people were saying around. Like, my area was just like, I feel like I lost someone that was close to me. And I feel like social media has a way of doing that. If. If you follow someone for a long time, you feel like you know them with a lot of, like, your audience as well. Like, I feel like a lot of people are very. Oh, I feel like I know them, you know, and that's just. That's the special part about, you know, being able to share stuff on social media is you create this special connection. But it's so hard when you lose someone like that.
Stu
So devastating thing to go through. Yeah. There has to be something better to talk about than that again. I just. It's such a traumatic thing. And what are you up to?
Glenn Beck
Well, hang on. Before that, let me ask you, how are you dealing with my trip today? I'm going to fill in for Charlie.
Cheyenne Grace
Yeah, I'm okay.
Glenn Beck
In North Dakota.
Cheyenne Grace
When. When? I mean, when you told me two weeks ago, it was right after everything happened two, three weeks ago. However, a couple weeks ago, instantly got very nervous because it was the two days after it happened, but I was. I was like, are you crazy? And then, you know, I was touching base with some of your team yesterday and just talking about. Because I got reached out to. Talking about, you know, you're still nervous. And I was just saying, you know, it doesn't really leave you when stuff like that happens. And when Your family is kind of going into that position as well. Like, that's scary. And also the fact that I have an event tonight and I'm gonna be on stage while you're there is just, you know.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Cheyenne Grace
Scary. But, you know, you're gonna do great. You're. You're gonna do great.
Glenn Beck
So you. There is the movie that you worked on your very first time on screen.
Stu

Cheyenne Grace
Alan, if you're watching this, you.
Glenn Beck
Come on my show, you get what you get. So this is being actually labeled as a musical, which I think is really unfair because it's not a mute. You're not breaking out in song in the.
Cheyenne Grace
And it's different type. It's. It's not musical sounding music. Yeah.
Glenn Beck
It's like this.
Cheyenne Grace
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
So when is this. When's this coming out?

Cheyenne Grace
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And so I think that's really exciting.
Stu
Are they going to announce. They announced the end of the movie. Is that how they're going to. Is that we're going to do like how much of it is going to give away when they make the announcement? Are they just going to tell the.
Cheyenne Grace
I didn't think they were planning to give it away at all. I think that already covered that because.

That'S an interesting strategy.
Glenn Beck
But that's kind of the whole thing.
Stu

So she has been. She's been trying out for shows, you know, professional. Yeah, been trying, but you know what? Getting callbacks. You are going to spend most of your time getting rejected.
Cheyenne Grace
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
I mean, I don't know how you do that, but it's hard, you know.
Cheyenne Grace
But we do it. We do it.
Glenn Beck
But there's a difference between being rejected for a show like that and then not being in the. Being rejected by, like, McDonald's. Stop.

Glenn Beck
It's kind of like a wonderful life that you enjoy the movie, but it's such a great message. It's really a great sound.
Carol Roth
Great.
Stu
That was a great. That was an amazing clip. I feel like there's definitely the risk of in one of those scenes, because for people who couldn't see it, you're on stage like a bar and you're nervous and you're trying to say there's definitely potential for that scene to look cheesy and sound cheesy. It didn't, though. That was. That was great.
Cheyenne Grace
That's actually the first scene that I filmed when I stepped on set. They were like, all right, walk on the set.
Glenn Beck
First time. Never acting, no film experience, nothing.
Cheyenne Grace
They were like, day one is our biggest day. And I was like, barf. And so I go on. And those are, like, real, real nerves because I'm singing in front of, like, probably 50 people that I have never met, and I'm like, I have.
Glenn Beck
And they're all actors and everybody else.
Cheyenne Grace
Yeah, all of them.
Glenn Beck
Go ahead, show us what you got.
Stu
Yeah, well, this is the same thing they did with in Rocky iv, when Ivan Drago comes out from under the ground and he had never been in front of these people. There's a giant crowd there. They're going crazy. It's supposed to be a Vegas boxing match, so you may be the next Dolph Lundgren. The guns are out.
Glenn Beck
All right, thanks, Shy. I love you.
Cheyenne Grace
Yeah, thanks for having me.

Episode Air Date: October 9, 2025
Guests: Carol Roth & Cheyenne Grace
Host: Glenn Beck (with regular co-host Stu)
Description: This episode offers a rapid, opinionated run through current U.S. and global politics, economics (especially gold), and personal stories. It features expert economic analysis from Carol Roth and a heartfelt segment with Glenn’s daughter, Cheyenne Grace.
This episode centers on major shifts in geopolitics (focusing on an unprecedented Middle East peace deal), economic turbulence as evidenced by skyrocketing gold prices, and a personal family segment spotlighting Cheyenne Grace’s creative journey. Glenn and co-host Stu passionately discuss Trump’s peacemaking in the Middle East, Carol Roth breaks down what’s really driving gold’s rally, and Cheyenne brings warmth through a behind-the-scenes look at perseverance and the entertainment industry.

The tone is candid, energetic, and conversational—balancing serious analysis with wit and warmth. Glenn and Stu’s banter is punctuated by direct opinions, humor, and personal anecdotes. Carol Roth is clear, data-driven, and explanatory. Cheyenne Grace brings emotional openness and positivity.
This episode is a perfect snapshot of The Glenn Beck Program’s appeal: Glenn and Stu unpack historic news from the Middle East with optimism and skepticism, Carol Roth delivers actionable economic wisdom about why gold is spiking and how system risk is real, and Cheyenne Grace’s segment provides an inspiring glimpse into resilience amid change. Listeners walk away informed, entertained, and—true to Glenn’s pitch—feeling like part of an ongoing movement to see behind the headlines.
