As we celebrate America's 250th birthday this year, I'd like to ask you a question. How much of the beef on America's grills actually come from America? The answer is probably going to surprise you. More than 85% of the grass fed beef sold in grocery stores is not from America. 85. That's not good. One of the reasons I like Good Ranchers is because of that number.

This is the Glenn Beck Program from Los Angeles, California. Hello and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Oh, man, are these guys in Washington just amazing. Do you not get up every day and go, what are they gonna fix next? What could, what could the House and the Senate possibly do to be better than they were yesterday? Because yesterday they were so great. I don't know how they top this. We're getting into that in 60 seconds. First, let me Tell you, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor, if I can find it, is relief factor. You know, there are people who say that, you know, my paintings are the greatest paintings and in the art world they're mainly, they're mainly about three years old but, but they're so, so very right. Think if you haven't been able to, you know, do what you love. Because I paint and I absolutely love painting and I wasn't able to do it for a long time because my hands were in so much pain and I could not hold a paintbrush, I couldn't hold a pen and you know, I, I don't, I'm sorry, I just don't like electronics. I like still paper and pencil and I still like to be able to paint. And if your hands are in pain like mine were, you would do anything to get it back. I don't know what hurts on you, but I guarantee you there is something that hurts on you. And the one thing that is artistry with the body is relief factor. It belongs in the louvre, quite honestly. Reliefactor.com relieffactor.com you want to get out of pain, just try it. 1776 for a three week quick start. It's 1, 800 for relief. 1, 800, the number for relief. Oh my gosh. Oh, oh. Yesterday. I mean, I feel like we need a marching band. What they did yesterday in the House is remarkable. No balance books, no spending cuts. Next up, bill protecting pizza crust. They haven't gotten to the pizza crust bill yet, but they're going to. Don't panic, don't panic. Everybody I know, everybody on the planet is saying, geez, what if we could get somebody to work on pizza crust? But they didn't get there yet. But what they did do yesterday, man, you know that whole fallback spring ahead thing. You may not have to watch my language carefully. You may not have to worry about that anymore. Did I say you don't have to worry about that anymore? No, no, I didn't say that. I said you may not. You know why I said you may not? Because the Senate is probably not going to pass this worthless piece of crap. So the House. Oh man, I just, I just love, I just love our speaker of the House. I love the non speaker of the House. I, I, I, I love the, the House protocol guy. I like all the House members. I like the houses that the House members live in. I just love them so much because did they take care of, you know, anything to do with voting? No, no, no, no. No. Mm. Well, they did compromise on that. Yeah. Yeah. You know, there were a few that were standing up, and they were like, that's not going to happen. We're going to shut down everything in the House until they pass the Save America Act. But our great speaker of the House and I don't know who else was involved, but they all got together and they said, wait a minute, wait a minute. Let's compromise. Let's just throw that into something else that the Senate's not gonna pass, and then we can spend the day fixing daylight savings time. Is there anything better? They rang the bell. Voter id Maybe after. All right. All right, man. I need a marching band all the time for them. Seriously. Because every time they do something, it's like, I need a marching band because they have accomplished some. Let me just go over some of the accomplishments that have happened in the House and the Senate in the last two years. They have. They have. Okay. I can't think of anything that they've actually done, but I know they've done something. And maybe next time. Now, I can't promise this is going to happen before the election, but can you imagine the magic if they could actually name a post office at this session? I mean, before we all go to vote, if they could name a post office, I'd be like, wow, I've got to vote for these guys. Why? You're not with the Republicans. Did you hear what they just did? Daylight savings time. Of course, the Senate didn't do it, but the House, they have the courage to say, no, we're not going to spring ahead or fall back. None of that stuff. They had that courage, and then they went and. And they went all the way to the wall to name a post office. Wow. But at least. At least I have the satisfaction of hearing that while I'm in California. And being in California, when you hear about the spring ahead fall back daylight savings time bill, you think to yourself, I got it made. I got it made. So let's see what else is happening. By the way, can we get Annalina, Anna Luna, Paulina on with us? I'd like to talk to her. I know we've. We've reached out to her office. I just want to know what happened here. What happened? Because, I mean, I really like her and I trust her, and, you know, she was like, we're not going to move anything. And I didn't. Nobody saw the daylight savings time coming. Nobody saw that one coming. I didn't even know that was in the lineup. Had I known that was in the lineup, I would have said, anna, Anna, you're not. Not. You're not gonna. You're not gonna hold up the daylight savings time thing, are you? And she would have, of course, said, no, no, no, no, no. I don't mean the daylight savings time thing. I just mean all the other stuff. We can't. It's. It's. You know, when you're doing triage on the country, you're like, okay, you're hemorrhaging to death here. You're hemorrhaging to death here. You've got communists over here and you're hemorrhaging over here. What do you want to tackle first? I don't know. Daylight savings time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they took the. They took the Save America act, and they've decided in the House that what they're going to do is they're going to tuck it into another bill, a must pass bill. The senate will never see this coming. Shh. Keep it to yourself. So they're going to put it in another bill that they have to pass. And. And if we all keep it to ourself, they're not going to pull that part of the bill out. Okay? They won't do it. They won't do it because they won't know. Because you don't know. I didn't know. Did you know about the daylight savings time thing? I didn't even know that was even a possibility. And boom, like magic, they passed that. So what they're going to do is they're going to put it in there, and then the senators will all vote to pass it because it's a must pass. And then we'll go, ha, ha, Katja, you just passed the Save America voter ID bill. And they'll say, what? This is an outrage. What happened? How did that thing happen? And then we'll all laugh and thune will be there like, ha, ha, ha, ha ha. I was on your side the whole time. Or. Or it will just go to the Senate and thune and his cronies will pull it out. They'll pass the must pass bill without any of that. And then we'll have the satisfaction of being able to stand there and go, see, it was Thune that did it. Oh, man, that's gonna feel so good. Then they're gonna follow it up with naming a post office. I'm telling you, that's the plan. That's the plan. Republicans, I don't know why you're losing. I really don't. I don't know why I Don't know why almost every single Republican I know are like, I can't vote for these people anymore. I don't know why that's happening. You respond to the people. You really do. It's so satisfying. When I heard the daylight savings time, honestly, I turned the lights down and I lit a candle because it was like conservative porn. I'm like, oh, man, we could balance the budget, we could do so many things. But the daylight savings time, oh, yeah, I'm not gonna have to spring forward or fall back. I got a date with myself and that bill on Friday. That's a hot date, I'll tell you that. Okay, let's move on here and talk to you a little bit about our sponsor. It's Patriot Mobile. If you don't think like the sharks circling, all you have to do is wait. And then you'll see like, oh, the sharks are circling. Unless you're a Republican. And then you're like, what sharks? Anyway, look what's going on in places like New York City. It's not going to affect me where I live. I promise you it will. America very well may be flipping the page to our most dangerous chapter yet. And that means that those of us who want to preserve her have got to stick together. And that's why I'm right there with the House on that daylight saving, man. Do you think the Senate is going to scum that up? Maybe they could pass a flag burning act. Wouldn't that be great? We'd all rally around that. Hey, you can't burn the American Love it or leave it. These colors don't run. Man, we could say all of those bumper stickers and feel so good. Anyway, this is what the parallel economy is all about. And the main reason I love Patriot Mobile so much is because they are leading in the parallel economy. So many other companies use our dollars to advance causes that we don't believe in. But Patriot Mobile makes, makes it different. I mean, they take a totally different approach. They deliver reliable wireless service on all three major networks. Look, everybody's using the same cell towers, okay? Everybody's using them. So why don't you go to Patriot Mobile instead of paying all of that money to one of those carriers, you go to Patriot Mobile. Now I have to pay some of that money to those towers because everybody's on them. But I'm not paying. I'm not giving them all my money. I'm not doing it only what I absolutely have to. I'm going to give my money to somebody like Patriot Mobile who actually you know, at Patriot Mobile, we're in the House and the Senate. You know what had been passed by now? The Save America Act. But I digress. Anyway, you can keep your phone, keep your number or get new ones. It's up to you. Their US based team makes switching really super easy. And they also put their money where their mouth is. They donate millions of dollars to organizations that defend faith, family and freedom and the constitutional principles that made this country exceptional. I can't wait until I get to tell you about what the Democratic socialists want to do. Yeah, they want to disband the Senate. I might be with them today. No, I'm not. I'm not.

Station ID. Just in from Washington D.C. looks like the House speaker is now considering bringing to the floor the renaming of the hot dog bun. So we'll have that done as well, very, very soon. Very soon. Gosh, they are just. They're so super good at strategy. The way they strategize. I mean, it's almost got me fooled. You know, for a while there, I thought they were do nothing. I thought, I thought for a minute there, Congress is worthless. They're not doing anything. They're not let's. And then daylight savings time and now they're thinking about renaming the hot dog bun. So they're on it. America saved. Let me tell you about the American Story. Episode 16 through 20 now up. This is the final episode. Final.

If you're not a Torch insider yet, you can join us right now@glenn beck.com torch glenn beck.com torch Do I have time, Sarah, for a preview? Let me give you a Preview of episode 16. This begins with a Southern plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln when he was first elected president. Listen to this. With a flourish, Ferrandini, his eyes blazing, holds a long knife over his head and says, gentlemen, this hireling Lincoln shall never, never be President. The room erupts in lusty cheers. Ferrandini continues. Who should do the deed? Who should assume the truth task of liberating the nation of the foul presence of the abolitionist leader? The room grows quiet again. Then Ferrandini answers his own question. They will each draw a ballot from a box that he's already prepared. Whoever draws the one marked in red is the assassin. But the ballots will remain secret, so no one knows who the assassin is until the final moment. The men take turns stepping forward and pulling a folded slip of paper from the box. Once everyone has a ballot, Ferrandini reaches in and takes the last one. The evening is over. The plan is set in motion. On their way to the saloon, Davis and Hilliard open their ballots. Davis ballot is blank. His face fails to hide the disappointment, but Hillard tells him not to worry. He explains that Ferradini put eight ballots marked in red to ensure that, no matter what, at least one man would pull the trigger. Later, Davis bids Hillard good night and they go their separate ways. And Hillard goes to his home and Davis to a large office building on South Street. It was a strange destination for such a late hour, but Davis was desperate to speak with a man he knew would be there. His boss, a detective named Alan Pinkerton. You see, Harry, Davis was not a Southern revolutionary. He was an undercover agent with the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. It is, it's just a remarkable story. You've never heard the American story told this way. All audio and storytelling at its best. Thanks to my staff. It's the American Story. Available now@glenn beck.com torch Episode 16 through 20 are now up and I'm Tonight I can't tell you where and I can. There's nobody. I mean we have a very small number of people that are allowed to come in because it's just a quick little get together. But the insiders were holding a kind of a get together today in California and I'm stopping by to say hi to them. Another kind of perk to be a TORCH member. And I cannot wait to meet you if you're in California today. Okay. And also I need to do. Could go to mum, Donnie. I gotta hit the socialist, democratic, socialist insanity on that one. Did I tell you about daylight savings time? Did I hate to bring this up again, but I just so excited about it. They passed that yesterday. Oh, how about that? How about this one? Jennifer Welsh. Jennifer Welsh, podcaster, really brilliant person. She is gone on a rant about homeschoolers and she said they're just the dumbest people every, anywhere. They're just dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. And boy, you couldn't be more right, Jennifer. In fact, what I'd like to do because I want you to be able to prove this point because I'm so sick of homeschoolers. This is between you and me, Jennifer. I am so sick of homeschoolers because first of all, they're weirdos. You know, like they, they, they don't believe that there are 90, you know, different genders. So they're weirdos. No blue hair and, and they actually believe in the constitution. But anyway, what I'd like to do is I'd like to challenge you, Jennifer. And I know who's going to win on this. Believing you have nothing to worry about to debate on this program of 15 year old high schooler that's only been homeschooled. And I just, I just want to see because you're right, you're right. They are so stupid. They are so stupid. You know you'll be able to clean their clock and you can do it with such grace so you don't humiliate them. But please, Jennifer Welch, I challenge you to debate somebody in this audience that is 15 years old and a homeschooled kid. You go ahead. Let's, let's debate up. It'll be fair and it'll Be. Be so embarrassing for them. Jennifer, you won't believe it. Okay, you'll make your point. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor is Simply Safe. You know what burglars hate? Attention. They don't want a confrontation. They don't want somebody watching them. They don't want to be remembered. They want a quiet house, a few minutes alone, and an easy way out. And that's why I think simply safe. Active guard outdoor protection is so smart. Somebody starts lurking around your home, they're not just being recorded. Trained agents can actually see what's happening in real time, talk to the person through the camera and let them know they've been spotted. And if the situation requires it, they can contact the police as well. That changes the entire equation. Most people who are looking for an easy target suddenly realize, oh, we've picked the wrong house. I kind of like that. Speaking of houses, I wonder if there's a burglar alarm on the house in Washington. Because while they won't need it because it will never be dark because of daylight savings time. Anyway, I want you to experience the kind of peace of mind that so many Americans have by getting 50% off your new system by visiting SimpliSafe.com Beck SimpliSafe.com Beck There is no safe like Simplisafe. The wait is over. All 20 episodes of the American Story are out now for TORCH Insiders. See what the buzz is about and join us today@glenn beck.com Tor. Coming up with the democratic socialists want to do. And that is. They just passed a new. I don't even know what it is. A new to do list, I guess. And on their to do list is abolish the U.S. senate. But that sounds perfectly reasonable. I don't know. You love America. You love America. I just want to get rid of its system. Uh, so. And believe me, there are days that I'd like to abolish the Senate. Uh, today is one of them. And which is weird because yesterday was one of them. Come to think of it, Monday was one, Friday was one of them. Those two last Friday and the Thursday before that. I take weekends off on wanting to abolish the Senate. But anyway, just keep loving them, you socialist. You just keep loving America to death. You know, you are. You love America so much. It's like that person that loves. Loves puppy dogs so much, they smother him to death. I just love you so much, it's gonna squeeze all the life out of you. Let me see what else makes an awful Lot. Oh, could I just. Could I just do one. One last thing on Lindsey Graham. Could we please, please, please stop wondering what killed Lindsey Graham? You know, he's 71. He was 71. 71. 71. And now, I mean, we're not sure what killed him. And what's strange is we're also not sure what's keeping Mitch McConnell alive. But I gain hope, a lot of hope, when I hear that we've been doing this for a very long time. You know, Rush Limbaugh used to say in this. When I was younger, I used to listen to him and go, rush, we've never been in this situation before. And he'd be like, my friends, we've been in this situation before. And I'd be like, no, we haven't. Can I tell you something? He was right. We've been in this situation before. We've been in all of them. Every day. I'm thinking about starting a thing on the program just called Every Day. I could do it every day. Been here before. Let me give you this one. 1850, Zachary Taylor. Old, rough and ready. I don't even know what the hero of Buena Vista. Where's Buena Vista? I didn't know there was something heroic that happened there. So he split. Is spending the blazing hot Independence Day, the Washington Monument, which is still just a stump of the thing under construction. And he sits in the sun for hours, and he comes home and he does what everybody does after sitting in the sun for a long time. They eat a bowl of cherries. And he drank a pitcher of iced milk. Five days later, he's dead. It's the milk that killed him. Or was it the cherries? Here's what you need to understand about the moment. Taylor, he was a slaveholder from Louisiana, and he had turned around and told the south that he's not going to allow slavery into the new western territories. And he said he would hang secessionists. Hang them. I'm going to hang him with the same regret I've had when I was hanging deserters in Mexico. Maybe that's where Buena Vista is. Anyway, within days of his death, people started talking. Southerners poisoned him. Did you know that? They put arsenic, arsenic in the cherries. Okay. That thing went on. I've never even heard that before. Did you. Zachary Taylor was killed by poison cherries. Had you ever heard of that? I never. That thing went on and on and on for 141 years. They would. People just would not let that go. In 1991, we are so crazy as people, they actually Dug him up to see if the cherries killed him. A writer had gotten obsessed with the theory, and she was convinced that he was killed by arsenic on the cherries. That she convinced the family and convinced the coroner of Jefferson County, Kentucky. And on a June morning, they opened up the tomb of the President of the United States and took hair and fingernail and bone and sent it to Oak Ridge National Laboratory nuclear scientists. This. This is. This is not as good as spending our time on money, on abolishing the daylight savings time. I mean, that was spectacular what they did. But we spent money with our nuclear scientists to find out of a guy who died in 1850 was poisoned by chair. Okay. Anyway, so they did neutron activation analysis, the best interest instruments in the human race, and they applied it to the fingernail of the man who died before the Civil War. And the answer came back, no. No, there was no arsenic in him. No, I mean, you know the level. He had arsenic, but it was. It was normal for the 19th century because arsenic was in the wallpaper. And I don't know if people were licking the wallpaper back then, but it was in the wallpaper and the medicine and the dirt. I mean, this is still where they were like, you know what? I think he needs a little mercury. That'll perk him up. So nowhere near the poisoning level. So he. What did he die of? Gastrointestinal illness. Yeah. Yeah. Because he lived in a city with no sewage system. He was drinking hot milk in July, so they dug him up to check. So here's what this accomplished. I couldn't find what it accomplished. I thought maybe that was for you to talk. I'm sorry. I left that space for you because I thought maybe you knew. What? That he accomplished nothing? Because the theory is still out there. Go online. You're going to be amazed. Go online. Was the President of the United States actually killed by arsenic and cherries? Zachary Taylor. Look it up. Wait till you see. It's everywhere. It's everywhere. Because the theory wasn't ever about Zachary Taylor. Here's what I want you to see. In 1850, the rumor didn't spread because there was evidence. It spread because Americans had already decided that other Americans were capable of murdering a president over a policy dispute. So the. The. The theory wasn't the disease. It was the fever. It was the tell. It was the country announcing out loud what I already believe about people on the other side of the aisle, that they're not opponents anymore. They're murderers. Eleven years later, 600,000 of us were dead. Why? This is where this whole theory kind of falls apart. But I'm tired, okay? And I'm in Los Angeles. Give me a break. Why? Why? Why? Six, six years later, six, six hundred thousand of us were dead because there were a lot of people on the slave side that were murderers, that were really bad. But the conspiracy theory came first. It always does. You, you have to believe your countrymen are murderers before you can bring yourself to. Did that register with that with you? You have to believe your countrymen are murderers before you can bring yourself to shoot at them. What's happening in our country? Let me take you back to Saturday night. 71 year old man with hardening of the arteries, the most common condition in aging American men, the thing that kills more men than anything else on earth, suffers a tear in his aorta. That's the preliminary finding of the D.C. medical examiner. Not a heart attack, a dissection. The inner wall of the largest artery in the body split open, blood drives into the tear and you know, you have minutes, not hours, you have minutes before you're dead. It kills healthy looking people in restaurants and airports and church pews. Probably a few with hookers as well. John Ritter died of it. It's fast, it's quiet, it doesn't announce itself in advance. Lucille Ball died of this. And that's why everybody's like, but he looks so well just the other day. Yeah, because that's the way it is. The FBI, you know, sent a bunch of people into his house to investigate and started everybody. I mean, what are we doing? What are we doing? Case is still pending. We don't know for sure. But you know, that should be on the record because I don't want anybody to take anything on faith because there's no faith in anything anymore that's left. You have to take everything on evidence now. But evidence is a process and the process isn't finished. Now, is it possible the Iranians reached into the home in Northwest Washington and induced an aortic. Aortic dis. Dissection in a US Senator? I guess anything's possible. But possible is not a fact. Possible is not even a claim. If you want me to believe a foreign intelligence service murdered a sitting senator on American soil, bring, bring me the thing. Bring me a witness, a document, a lab result, a body of any evidence. And that's not me defending the establishment. That's me refusing to let the establishment lower my standards. I mean, I understand why the ground is so fertile here. I mean, we have been lied to about the health of Powerful people for years. Do you remember, if you're my. Do you remember we used to make fun of the Soviet Union because their leaders, when they would get into office, they all looked like Joe Biden. I wish one day I could be as healthy looking as Joe Biden. And then, and then they would say for, for weeks they would. Everybody knew he was dead. And everybody in Russia was like, no, yet he is fine, healthy. And then like a month later, like, yeah, he just dropped dead. But he was doing it while lifting weights. No, he wasn't. He was dead weeks ago. And we used to make fun of that. And now we're sitting here with Mitch McConnell after we all said, hey, can somebody tell us the truth, please? It's quite obvious. Can somebody tell us the truth about Joe Biden? How dare you say that? And now, now Everybody in the GOP is having 20 minute conversations with Mitch McConnell. Please, please. I'm holding on by a thread. Please. When the people whose job it is to tell you the truth stop doing it, you don't get a nation of skeptics. You don't. You get this nation, a nation that will believe absolutely anything. Because when nothing is verified, everything is equally plausible. And that's the most dangerous condition any of us, a free people, a free nation can live in. But earned distrust is a reason to demand the evidence. It's not a license to invent evidence. It's a license to demand evidence. So let's talk about the thing that is actually in front of us. Because it's hard enough without ghost stories. The Save America act needs 60 votes in the Senate, they say, but that's not true. Republicans have 53 seats. Graham's seat was empty. Now his sister. I don't know who his sister is. And by the way, please, please, Democrats, don't talk to me about this isn't replacing all this is just a bunch of people. One guy decides who's going to sit in that seat. Yes, that's the way the system works. And please don't start with me. Look what you did with Kamala Harris and what you did to Bernie Sanders. Please don't start. Please, please. It's just, it's tiring. Mitch McConnell, now hospitalized for weeks, hasn't been voting. So the working number now is 51, maybe 52. Is she in yet? In June, the whole conference was present. The bill got 50 votes, a majority and not one vote more. With Murkowski, Tillis and McConnell voting no. 50. That's what's required. Not 60. 50. It's never been 60. This is the fight. This is the math. It's grinding, it's unglamorous, and it's in a body designed by men who wanted things to be hard. And that's good. It's supposed to be hard to get things passed in Washington, but not this ridiculously hard. And I'll tell you what doesn't move a single vote toward 60.

But there's another way that your home can be targeted and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property. It is actually called home title fraud and it's exactly what it sounds like. Criminals forge documents, they file them with the county, they transfer ownership of your home into their name and then once all that happens, they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under you. The scary part is like you don't really know much about this as it's going on. Regular homeowners insurance doesn't typically protect you from this and the mortgage company isn't looking for it either. That's why you need Home Title Lock. They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal fraud so you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem.

New study out shows home prices across the US are surging to all time highs. What is causing that? Now the administration says that's not true. They are actually coming down and it's largely due to we are taking people and moving them out of the country. We're sending them back home. I don't know which one is true, but let me just, let's take the. Home prices across the US are surging. Let's take that as true. What is, what's the cause of it? What is happening? Why Are more and more people turning to socialism because they're saying that is true. And here's the solution. So we have to learn how to speak. We have to learn how to defend capitalism and the free market. And I'm going to try to teach you how you can teach others this hour. And I want to start with a couple of stories that are in the news today, including one from, from a millennial who has just written a great story. Her name is Emma Camp, and she wrote a great story on X about a vintage refrigerator. And I want to get into that and then talk to you about changing the language that we all use. Otherwise, we're going to lose. So you want to win? Stick around. We begin in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust dot com. The only thing in life that you can't buy is a reputation. I can buy a fancy suit. I can buy a nice car. You know, I can buy a really impressive website, but I cannot buy a reputation. The kind of reputation that meant, that is like, oh, if they recommended them, that's, that's a sign they must be good. Okay? That takes years. And it's built one relationship, one conversation at a time, one promise kept. One customer who walks away saying, you know what? I'd send my own family to them. That's the standard that I had in mind when I started real estate agentsitrust.com I want you to only do business with people that you walk away and go, that was the best relationship I've ever had. That's the best business relationship I've been in with real estate ever. I wanted a network of people who earned something far more valuable than a license. They earned the reputation for doing things right and being doing right by their clients. Because when you're buying or selling a home, you're making the biggest decision financially probably of your life. So check out real estate agentsitrust.com we'll show you how to buy or sell a home, even in a tough market. The name says it all. Real Estate AgentsITrust.com okay, so there's a story written by Emma Camp which I just think is really, really good. She writes, capitalism is beginning a bad rap. According to one 2025 Gallup poll, only 54% of Americans have a positive view of capitalism. Note this is why we should stop using the word capitalism and free market. More Democrats think highly of socialism more highly than capitalism. Another survey, 2019, found that younger Americans were the least likely to have positive feelings about capitalism. Why is this happening. One underrated factor may be that many Americans don't have strictly economic definition of capitalism. When I hear capitalism, I think of an economic system where goods are distributed by markets rather than governments. I've realized now when talking about economics online and in person, that's an unusual perspective. When many people say capitalism, they mean the status quo, even if this status quo involves a lot of problems caused not by the free markets, but by the government regulation and chronic intervention. This is so important you stop using capitalism. And this is why we have to defend the free market, because automatically it sounds like something new. Because that is true. When you say capitalism, you're like, we've tried that. It doesn't work. No. And then you have to get in to explain, we haven't been doing capitalism for. So take that problem away easily by saying free market. I want to talk to you about the free market, because the free market, a true free market, doesn't have a lot of the stuff that capitalism is doing right now, and that is getting in bed with the government. And you can open the conversation and they'll actually hear you. Okay? The housing market, the most obvious example of this younger people's lives lived experience of capitalism was one of central planning and massive shortages of the single most important item that they consume. So she's right. She's right. Why do we have a housing shortage? Let me explain the housing shortage in a way that I think people can understand, because here's what is happening. You have too many people trying to get into a house because you just introduced 15 to 20 million people. So they're looking for houses or apartments. And 15 to 20 million people that we didn't plan for suddenly overnight are here and competing for a house or an apartment that you want. Let me explain it this way. Let's say you wanted to go to watch, I don't know, the United States soccer team play, I don't know, Peru. And it was going to happen in Los Angeles. And you're like, I want to go. And I've been to Los Angeles before. The hotels are expensive, but they're not crazy. But all of a sudden you notice that weekend the prices are outrageously expensive on hotels. And you're like, capitalism. They're just greedy. No. Why did the price go up? The price went up because now you have not only people from, you know, the area coming in, but you're bringing people from all over the world. All the people from Peru that want to come in, they need a hotel too. So you've, you've just now doubled the amount of hotels that you normally have and the city is built for. And you've got people from all over the world and everybody wants one. And so what happens is you either feel ripped off because this hotel just took advantage of us because they were so expensive. Yes. Because there was a shortage of supply, or you end up being an hour and a half away in a crappy hotel and you're like, I paid so much money and I was staying at this. I mean, there was a hooker right at the door. Okay. The ticket of the game was so expensive. Yes. Because people, so many people all over the world want to go and buy that ticket. That's how it works. And there's, that's, that's, there's nothing wrong with any of that. There's no cronyism involved in that. That's just how it works. And that's what's happening with your home. You've just brought 20 million people in, and so they're all competing for the same apartment or the same home. So she writes in this, in this article. Recently a video went viral showing the inside of 1958 GE refrigerator. The appliance restorer behind the camera started the video by declaring, they just don't build things like they used to. Many shows off some unusual features like rotating shelves. Just about all the commentators or the commenters seem to think the reason modern refrigerators aren't as nice as the one in the video is because, guess, capitalism. They made everything worse while making everything more expensive. More than 46,000 likes. On that comment. Another comment with thousands of likes declared, capitalism is literally built on the premise that things are not reliable. What this particular fridge, she writes, was almost certainly far more expensive than a comparable appliance today. While I couldn't track down the price for that exact model, I did find an ad for a similar looking refrigerator in 1958 in the Sears catalog. That refrigerator was listed at $399.95. See, you can't buy a refrigerator for 330. Yeah, okay, but in today's dollars, that's $4,600. A quick Internet search reveals that most refrigerators today are much less expensive than that. Then Wirecutter, a product review website, made a list of the best refrigerators on the market earlier this year. Only one of them came within $1,000 of the 1958 refrigerator's price tag. If you're looking to drop $4,600 on a fridge for the same reason, you'll end up buying a luxury product. A similarly Priced smart fridge is nearly 10 cubic feet larger than the 1958 one. It has a built in ice maker, including a setting for making clear cocktail spheres, a special viewing window, and a drawer with a chilled wine setting. If that doesn't convince you that appliances today are better than their mid century counterparts, modern refrigerators are also much more energy efficient. And contrary to the complaints that modern appliances are built to break, the longevity of our refrigerators has barely budged in 30 years. In 1990, 38.2% of family refrigerators were more than 10 years old. In 2020, it was 35.1. The median American looking to buy a refrigerator today is better off than his grandfather in the 1950s. The appliances themselves are cheaper, they're better. And he himself is richer, so it takes him fewer hours of work to be able to afford an equivalent expense. Competition from imports and technological innovation, both hallmarks of free market capitalism, are why our appliances are bigger and better than they once were. Capitalism, as it turns out, isn't why you can't have cool vintage refrigerators. It's why many of us can afford a refrigerator in the first place. In 1950, about 20% of homes didn't have a refrigerator. Do you know anybody who has a home that didn't, that doesn't have a refrigerator? Today, when capitalism is an all purpose scapegoat for any problem, it's easy to take for granted America's considerable material abundance. In this case, the problem seems to be more about the fact that vintage appliances look cool than anything else, plus a mistaken belief that the modern refrigerator just doesn't last as long. The status quo is far from perfect. Young Americans are facing real affordability problems, most obviously in the form of housing crises caused by government regulations. Yes. That impede new construction. Yes. But while we may not have utopia, we also live in a world that is better than anything our forebears had to contend with. It's much better to live in a world with abundant, inexpensive consumer goods, a world in which people can become jaded about those cheap products than a world where necessities are costly. I'll take my modern fridge any day. Again, this comes from Emma Camp, who I just think just distilled this Right. Really, really well. So I want to get into some language and I want to talk to you about. There are three categories of, of people that are searching for answers and I'll explain. But first, let me, let me take you. Actually, let me take a quick break and then I want to talk to you about. Let's just take One guy, he's in his, let's say, early 20s. You know this person, first real job, watching his rent go up 8% while his raise comes in at 3. His dad worked one job, raised three kids on it, and he does the math and it doesn't add up. And he's like, wait, this is not what I was promised. The deal has changed. Okay, so you know that person. Let me talk about them here in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. Paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, llc, a licensed insurance agency. Okay. You walk into a business immediately, you can tell if it's, if it's well run. It's not the furniture, it's not the logo. It's not whether they have free coffee in the waiting room. It's the lack of chaos. People that are there and work there know what they're doing. They, they know who's responsible for what. Questions get answered, problems get solved. There's a quiet confidence that comes from having, you know, everything under control or at least as much. And it's not an accident. It is a result of thousands of smart decisions that you make every day that your customer is never going to see. Business insurance should feel the same way. That's why I like Super Sure. They give you one point of contact, an easy to use dashboard, and a team that helps make sure your coverage stays in step with your business as it grows. The best run businesses don't spend their days putting out fires. They make sure the fires never start in the first place.

So let's say this 20 something that we all know they're in their early 20s, first real job, they can't make ends meet, they can't find a job they've been promised. You just keep your nose to the grindstone, you get good grades, blah blah blah and it all and then everything has changed. They're thinking clearly. This 20 something knows there's a real problem here. And there is. And the people that they say of their peer group in, let's say college, they say, man, I can't make ends meet. And they're like, I know this system sucks. And then they all Start talking about how this system and capitalism is bad. And then somebody in the group, or maybe a professor, is pushing Karl Marx and everybody who came after Marx, such as Zoran Mamdani or aoc, and they tell them, they reinforce the system is the problem. The whole thing needs to be replaced. And that makes sense because what are we talking about? We're talking about capitalism. And they already associate capitalism with something that has failed. And perception is reality. That's the most important thing. Read positioning battlefield or battleground of your mind. It came out in the 80s and it was about the cold wars. And it's true. And it's something that I struggled with a long time ago. Perception is reality. Got to change perception. Got to change perception. Well, yeah, but you better know what you're doing because it's reality. It's not just the way people. It's reality to them, okay? And they're responding to something that is true. And if you deny it, you're never going to get past it. The wealthy do have more political power than the rest of us. They do. The big businesses do. Markets crash and they take people's houses down with them. Some things do feel wrong in the way we price things. Shoes, a kidney, a vote, medicine. And we have to give real answers for those things. So I want to talk about where that road actually goes with specifics. Slogans are how you get people to stop listening on. On that road. One entity replaces the market. It decides what gets made, who makes it, who gets it. And the pitch is, there not going to be any more rich people. There's no more billionaires, no more explored exploitation. No more accidents of birth deciding your life. The problem with that pitch is information. When you have millions of people buying and selling every day, the price is what tells the story. Beef gets expensive in Chicago, okay? People are complaining about beef prices. What does that do? That tells the rancher in Nebraska, he knows, raise more cattle, you know, make it cheaper, but he can't if the government is on top of him. And. And they haven't stopped monopolies or they're making it more and more difficult to raise more cattle. Okay? Bread runs short in one city. Grain moves in from three states over. It's a signal system that runs 24 hours a day. Nobody designed it. And it mostly works, okay, without anybody above it. When one entity replaces all of that with a plan, the signal is lost. And when you lose the signal, they don't know that a village is starving until the village is almost dead. Okay? This has happened over and over again. Ukraine, 1932. Stalin's plan for the farm was simple. Seize the grain, they set the quotas, and if he didn't make it, they shot the farmer who resisted. Well, they say between three and five it could be as high as seven or eight million people starved in Ukraine in one year. That was the breadbasket. One year. It's the breadbasket of all of Europe. Stalin comes in, puts in his planned centralized policies, and they starve to death in a year. China, 1958-1962. Mao tells the peasant farmers, you gotta melt your farm tools down to make steel because they had to have steel. Well, the crops now are rotting in the fields because they don't have anything. They don't have any machinery to get it. Somewhere between 15 and 45 million people died between 1958 and 1962 in four years. Why? Well, we don't know the exact number because the regime never counted because it didn't care about the people. Cambodia, 1975. Pol Pot emptied the cities in a weekend. Anyone who wore glasses was suspected of being an intellectual. And they all had to die. And if you don't think that's possible, you haven't been looking around. One and a half million people out of a population of seven were worked to death or shot in four years. That's the old history. Let me give you some new history on when people replace that signal with a hand, a centralized hand. Venezuela, 1998. They elected Hugo Chavez. Fair election. Oil rich country. Richer per person than Brazil, richer than most of its neighbors. Only behind us in the Western Hemisphere. Chavez and then Maduro took over the oil company, then took over the food distribution. And they set the policies and the prices by decree. By 2017, the average Venezuelan had lost 19 pounds. They were eating the zoo animals in peacetime. The shelves were empty. The money was worthless. Roughly 7 million people, close to a quarter of the country left the country. They walked to Colombia, they. They boated to Trinidad. They lined up outside the US Consulates in Ecuador. The country still has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. Have you seen the price of oil? Cuba, 65 years in, same story, smaller scale, 2021. Tens of thousands of Cubans marched in the streets. Biggest protest since the revolution in 2021. Do you know how they stopped those protests? Beatings and arrests. Two years after more Cubans have left the isle than the. Than the boat lift. In 1994, the rafter crisis. When you subsidize the housing and you ration the food and you jail the doctors this is what you get. You get young people on a boat, North Korea. Look at the satellite photos at nighttime, completely dark, except a little pinprick. You know who lives there? The elites. Okay? One side runs the market and the other side runs a plan. And that's why millions of people, over a hundred million people, have died from communism in the last hundred and twenty years. Now, let me explain how we present that to people next. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Legacy Box. One day, your. Your kids are going to become curious about the people who came before them. You're going to do your best. You'll tell them stories. You'll describe their great grandparents, what they were like. You'll try to explain their sense of humor, the way they talk, the way they smile, the little things that made them them. But when your parent dies, you're like, I should have asked Grandma, Grandpa, or I should have asked mom and dad more. I had more questions. I just thought they would be there. And I kind of knew these stories, but I didn't. They just always heard them talk. You know, they heard you talk about them. There's a part of every person that words can't quite capture, and it's the sound of their laugh, the way they waved at the camera, the look on their face when they didn't know anyone was watching. The things that turn family history into something you can. You can actually experience. Legacy Box brings those to you. They make it easy to preserve your old home movies, VHS tapes, the film reels, the photos, camcorder cassettes. They digitize them so they can be seen for generations to come. Because you want to meet those people with Legacy Box. Legacybox.com records Legacybox.com records. So I want to talk to you again about. Continue the conversation. This is something that's going to evolve over the next, you know, few months. I think we're gonna be talking about communists for a while now. And we have to. We have to know who our audience is, who we're trying to talk to, and then not. Not just run it all into just bumper stickers, okay? Communist. Nobody's gonna react to that. You know how they're gonna react to that? The same way when somebody calls you a racist. Fine, whatever. Ooh, I'm a racist. It has no meaning anymore. Communism has no meaning anymore, okay? We have been saying communists forever, ever. And to a lot of people, that is. You know, I've heard them cry wolf about communism a thousand times. People are not necessarily communists. Not everybody is a communist. Let Me give you three categories of vote I think people are going through right now, especially if they're under 30 and maybe, maybe under 40, I don't know. But I think there are three categories. There is the valid disillusioned person that has real grievance, that is looking at things. And like I worked hard, I did everything I was supposed to and I can't afford a house and a reasonable house. I can't afford to start a family, I can't find a job. And it's all because of capitalism. No, some of it is about crony capitalism. But again, nobody listens. Nobody listens. And so they're not communists. They don't want gulags, they don't want millions dead. They just, they don't understand and no one's talking to them except the quote, socialists who are now finding out in the study I told you about yesterday, about 51% of the DSA, they're communists, self acclaimed communists. And there's a big difference between, between a socialist and a communist. And so you have the disillusioned who are just trying to figure things out and then they start listening to socialists and, and they don't realize that 51% of the people that are behind this are communists. And if they do, they may not even know what communists are, what, what they've done. They don't know the history because they've never been taught. That's the second category. They start to become socialists, but they still are just, they're looking, they actually believe in the utopia. They believe this will make things better. Okay? And then there's the third category, the category that actually are killers and thieves and communists, okay? Because once you know you're a communist and you are, you declare it and you, you know what that means. Well then I put you in a separate category. But the first two categories, the majority of people that we're talking about who are voting for socialists, they have no idea. They have no idea. So we can't just yell communist because they're not going to listen, okay? And I don't want a better insult, I want a better word. I want something you can point to, you know, something that fair minded people can't just wave away because I can't, I don't know what's in their heart, okay? But I want to know, I want them to know and I want to be able to describe what their policies that they are claiming there for what it does. So let me take you back to Paris in 1850 two years earlier, 1848 couple of Germans publish a little pamphlet, you know the one. And in the middle of it, one of these Germans, Karl Marx, does the thing his followers today will not do. He tells you plainly what it's all for. The whole theory, he writes, boils down to a single sentence. The abolition of private property. I don't think any of these people who are young socialists want to get rid of their cell phone, their house, their car, whatever it is. But that's what it actually is. It boils down to the abolition of private property. That's his goal, in his words. Okay, so Marx names the goal, but it takes a Frenchman, believe it or not, to name the machine. And it's Bastiat. Bastiat is a member of the French Assembly, 1848. He has front row seats to socialism's very first live experiment. Okay? France is deciding it's going to guarantee every man a job paid for by taking from men who already have a job. And he watches it start and then he watches it quickly break. In 1850, he now has TB and he writes this book called the Law. It's a little book, you should get it. And he hands us a phrase that we don't use. And he calls it legal plunder. He chose those two words really carefully. Plunder. What does that mean? It means taking something that isn't yours. And we know that's wrong. We teach that as kids don't take. You don't take that, that's not yours. And we build prisons for it. But Bastiat noticed something funny. And we've talked about this before. When one man does it, we call it robbery and we lock him up. But when somebody who wears the robes of government does it a bill, a program, a vote, we call it justice and we hold a ribbon cutting for it. Same act, same taking of something that doesn't belong to you, you're taking it from somebody else. But you just put on a robe so you're not a criminal. So what's the best tool in this fight? It's a test. You want to know if a law is plunder? Don't argue the label, okay? Just look at it. Does it take from some people what belongs to them and. And hand it to people it doesn't belong to? Does it let one citizen do to another through the government, what he'd be arrested for doing himself? That's the whole test. Could you do that yourself? If the answer is no, because you'd go to prison for it, then you can't assign that you don't have the Right to do it. So you cannot assign that right to the government, okay? That's the whole test. And notice what it's not. What it's not, is you're a bad person. You're a communist. Do you own a Che poster? None of that. It's just a mechanism. You run it on a policy and the policy passes or it fails. You can roll your eyes at the name, but not the test, okay? You can't roll your eyes at a mechanism. So here's the new vocabulary as I see it. And I'd be interested in talking to anybody else who has a better idea. But I think we need to redefine a few things first. Four words, and I'll show you. I'll show you why each ones work. First, the machine itself. The politics of plunder. You use this for the act, the transfer, the seizure, the confiscation that's dressed up as compassion. It's the politics of plunder. It's the politics of thievery, okay? Theft. It works because it drags the fa, the fight off of feelings and off of the field of politics and into facts. You're not accusing anybody of secret ideology. You're not pointing and saying, look, there's a bunch of communists. What you're pointing to is what this proposed law would do in daylight and say, let's run the test on that. Because this seems like the politics of plunder. The politics of thievery, of theft. Second, the men who run it, they're not politicians, they're confiscators. The confiscation class. This one works because it defines a man by what he does, not by what he feels. He's a dirty commie. No, his job is to confiscate those things that are not his. I can't see his heart. I can see your voting record. Are you voting for the confiscators? A confiscator is anybody whose answer to every problem on God's green earth is the same. Take more from somebody else, not me, but from somebody else. And let the state decide who deserves it. You're confiscating property. Now? I don't have to prove that person loves Stalin. I only have to show you that his hand is in somebody else's pocket. The third is the worldview underneath all of this. And that's the taker's creed, the thieves creed. There are only two ways to get things in the world. There's just two. You can make it, you can grow it, you can trade for it, you can earn it. And that's the Maker's way. Or you can take it. Whether it's you just being a thief or you've just given a right that you don't have yourself. And you've given that to the government and you've given it to guy with a badge. And you call that taking that thievery, fairness. Now, it's really simple to see. And none of it is political. Okay, let me give you this. A guy. A guy spends all summer raising a chicken. He feeds it. He sits up at night guarding it from the fox. He's built a fence around it. He bought the food. He frets over it like it's family, because it's feeding his family. And then his neighbor, who raised nothing, didn't do anything all summer, risked nothing, lost no sleep. Send some guy that he has hired over to your house and cuts the chicken in half and says, I'm taking half the bird. You're like, wait, what? It's compassionate. No, no, it's theft. You don't have a right to do that. It says, the man who produced is suspect, and the man who redistributes it is holy. That's insanity. Say the inversion out loud and people will feel it, because everybody listening knows in his bones the difference between earning and taking. And here's the fourth one, the quietest, maybe the cruelest one, the architects of dependency. Because this is where the road ends. Plunder. If you take from the maker long enough, what does he do? And this is where. This is where Communism fails all the time. What happens? You take from somebody who's a maker long enough, what do they do? They either, if they can get out of your country, or they just stop making. Because why am I doing it? Why half or everything that I own, I can't own any property anymore. I don't have anything that's mine. Why am I doing anything? I'll just stand in line with everybody else. You feed the taker long enough, you feed them, they forget how to feed themselves. So you didn't rescue the poor man. You built the poor man. You designed him. And here's what's really nefarious about this. You designed him to need you forever. You've just made. I mean, you would be arrested if you did this in business. You've just made a permanent client, a permanent patron. Both of them mistaking the chain for a gift. You've just enslaved them, and they're thanking you for it. Now, your neighbor who votes for every bit of this, is he a monster? No, he's not. Dreaming of the Gulag. He sees a sick kid or a broke grandmother or a man who just lost his job and thinks, you know, the strong should help the weak and they ought to. That instinct is one of the best things about humans. That's what Jesus teaches us. Okay, that you share, Jesus never taught. That you take, you share. But watch what the machine does with a good intention once you feed into it. And it's a number. It's actually a number from a graveyard. Scholars put together something called every home should have this book. It's called the Black Book of Communism. And it counted the last, all of the dead of the last century's communist regimes. And it lands somewhere between 94 million and north of a hundred million human beings. Russia, China, Cambodia, north Korea, Cuba, 100 million. Now, how do you kill a hundred million people? It's easy. It starts with a lie. They died from a mechanism run all the way to the end. Because the moment you grant the state can take from anyone to give to anyone else, you've torn down the only fence that ever protected a human being. A line around what is his. Once that fence is down, there's no logical place to stop. Not his property, not his farm, not his church, not his speech, not in the end, his life. The confiscators always start with your wallet because it's the easiest thing to justify what they're doing. But the wallet was never the prize. The wallet is just the first thing over the fence. So I'd like to suggest we put the word communist down, or at least use it sparingly. The more we use that word, it's worn out and they know it. Pick up the test instead. Next time they roll out a program, don't shout communist. Ask a question out loud. Does this take from somebody what was his and hand it to somebody else that it never belonged to? If it does, you don't have to guess at the heart or argue politics. You know what you're looking at? You're looking at the confiscators. And now you have a new word that they actually have to think about and not just laugh off or roll their eyes. It's not a slur. It's truth. Back in a minute. Every moment in history has something in common. Sooner or later, it has to build. It's not enough to complain about the way things are. At some point you have to create something better. You have to build your own schools, your own churches, your own businesses, your own communities. That's why I've talked so much about building a parallel Economy. It's not about boycotting the world. It's about making sure there are companies that share your values when you need them. Confiscators. They don't build. They tear down, they destroy. They're not good at building. Notice we're not saying destroy this, we're saying build, build, build. Patriot Mobile is a great example of this. They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. Instead of complaining about all these companies, they decided we're going to build dependable service on all three major networks. One where you can keep your phone, keep your number or get new ones. You can, you can talk to a US based team that is their, their customer service team, all here in the United States. And they put their money behind causes that they believe in. Donating millions of dollars to organizations that defend faith and family and freedom. They're the first we call always there's a hurricane or something, people need food. We immediately call Patriot Mobile, say hey, can you guys make a donation on this? We need to move quickly and they're always there. That's good. Free market systems. Patriot mobile.com Beck call 972 Patriot use the promo code Beck get a free month of service.

We think it's, it's a change that would help make this country more democratic. Right, Right. We don't think abolishing the Senate is extreme. Wow. That is the co chair of the Democratic Socialists of America. They don't think that's extreme. I do and we're going to talk about that when I come back. Also, also, apparently Taco Bell may be the source of the diarrhea. How redundant is this story? We'll get into that coming up. As a business owner, entrepreneur or leader, let me ask you something.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program live from Los Angeles, California, where absolutely nothing makes sense. I'm gonna try to make sense of the world and I'm gonna let people speak for themselves quite honestly. Just gonna roll some tape on some things that have been said here in the last 24 hours and let you decide what makes sense and what doesn't make sense. We'll do that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. By the way, did you hear Daylight Savings Time? Oh, we finally got rid of. Well, we didn't get rid of it. The House voted against it, but the Senate probably is not going to. But don't you feel so much better that Congress is in there fighting for the things you really think are important? Oh, man. Oh. I mean. And why is the GOP worried that they might have a hard time getting elected and reelected or holding onto their power? I, I didn't. Why am I having it right now? Let me tell you about American financing. Sailors don't set the sails at once. They leave them there for the whole voyage. No, they don't. The wind changes, the weather changes, the sea changes. And if you keep the tails in exactly the same position, no matter what's happening around you, you're going to drift off course, way off course. And your, your financing is the same way. The mortgage that made perfect sense five or ten years ago may not be the one that makes the most sense today. Your family has changed, your goals have changed, interest rates have changed, life has moved on. That's what I like about, about American financing. They don't start with a loan. They start with a conversation. They look at where you are today, where you want to go tomorrow, and whether refinancing could help you get there. Because the smartest people don't keep making the same decision, don't set the sales and then just take off in life. They keep making the right decision for the Conditions that you're in, there are no upfront fees. To find out what you qualify for, talk to a salary based consultant today.

Well, I mean, since we have Congress in the news and they were making such important decisions yesterday, why don't I start with Chuck Schumer? Because this is as important as what they did yesterday. I mean, sure, we could get. I mean, honestly, I mean, I feel like we need a marching band for what they did yesterday, you know, oh, we have one wars expand. Next band. Left hands. Yes. Left handed rubber bands. I hope they bring that up. I hope that they could work on something like the Save America act. But nope, nope, we got the daylight savings. And by the way, doesn't look like Senate's gonna pass that. So there's a fight where that. I wonder who's gonna stop it. If we could just get them on the record so we would know it was John Thune then. Well, then you know, because that's what they're doing with the Save America Act. Yeah, but see, when he doesn't pass it, then we'll know it was John Thune. Oh, well, that's gonna make me feel so much better. Thank you for that and I appreciate it. They rang the bell. Voter id. Ah, Maybe after hell the clocks are fixed. Maybe someday. Ah, okay. All right. Okay. Let me. Now let me take you on something that actually matters as much as that Chuck Schumer yesterday. Apparently in this. Is this happening in the Senate? I have not heard this, but Ricky keeps telling me you got to get to Chuck Schumer in the Senate because it's. Does it happen on the floor of the Senate? It happened on the floor of the Senate yesterday. Allegedly. Could be. AI don't think it is, but we report you to that. I love a good scandal. Here it is cut three. And we need a complete investigation that's independent now on Iran and the NDAA when all the Trump administration. Administration. We're down. What a metaphor. I mean, he Laughed after it. So play it again. He laughed after. I don't think it is. AI, listen. And we need a complete investigation that's independent now on Iran and the end ndaa when all the Trump administration. I gotta tell you, I think it's. And I think it's appropriate too. I think it is absolutely appropriate. It is like, exactly like, you know, how seriously we should take anything that's coming out of this guy's mouth or any of them, quite honestly, any of them, you know, hey, what we're gonna do is we're gonna fix the economy. Yeah, I'm, I'm with you on that one. Yep, that's what we're going to do. Do we know has he been at Taco Bell? Because I guess Taco Bell now is the one that is responsible for this, this virus that is going around or this virus. Now, now, now, let's, let's not slander Taco Bell. They are under investigation, but we don't know for sure. Under investigation. But it does appear that Schumer is a victim of the cyclosporiasis outbreak, which is the cyclops of explosive diarrhea. That's what it is. It's explosive diarrhea. And I don't, I mean, I haven't been following the story. I know everybody's talking about the explosive diarrhea. But when I heard that it might be Taco Bell, I'm like, that's redundant. Because, I mean, what is. Because you always have diarrhea. You go to Taco Bell, you always have that. But now it's not just because of their food. It's what might be in their food or on the lettuce. Is that what's happening? And are we measuring this just by the velocity that it comes out of your body at the end? Because it's usually pretty fast. You know, you could have a big, big burrito supreme and all of a sudden, I mean, you were like, I gotta run to the bathroom. But now I guess it's. I guess now it's worse. And it can happen to senators at any time. Oh, God bless you, Taco Bell. There's a place for you. You know, I mean, because I like, I like Taco Bell. There are times when you just crave Taco Bell, but you should just eat it while you're on the toilet. Anyway, let me go to dsa. Now, the Democratic Socialists of America. Here's their latest. Now this is the co chair of the Democratic Socialists of America. Now, anybody who thinks that. Well, they're Just they, you know what? They just want to, they just want to make sure that housing prices are lower. And they just have different ideas. Okay, well, here's one of their different ideas that they just passed. Listen to this. So would you like to abolish the Senate? That's part of our platform. And we don't think that's extreme. We think it's a change that would help make this country more democratic. Ok, Remember when you said you just wanted the government to follow the Constitution? You were called an extremist. A danger, dangerous extremist. They want. And you hate. That was my other favorite of it. You hated the government. You were talking about the founders. You were quoting the Federalist Papers, and somehow or another you hated the government. This guy is saying, we don't think it's extreme to, to abolish the Senate. And I can guarantee you nobody. That should be everywhere. These guys are winning elections. Are you seeing that? That should lead. If I would have said that when the Tea Party was going on, we should abolish the. Said that would have led the news everywhere in America, Everywhere. As proof I was a dangerous, a dangerous extremist that hated our government. This is nowhere. And it's part of their platform. By the way, you, you. Somebody who just doesn't know history. You already screwed up the Senate, okay? You've already screwed it up. It was you progressives that took it and made it into what it is. It used to represent. They say now it only represents the millionaires and the billionaires and the giant corporations. Yeah. Why is that? Why is that? Because you took the Senate, which was supposed to be a deliberative body. The people are represented by the House. The House is the people's court, not actually the people's court. It's the house of the people. That's why you have to elect them every two years, because they hold the purse strings. They're the ones for taxes. And so you wanted to be able to get rid of them quickly because they have to answer to the people immediately. But they worried that, well, who's going to pay attention to the rights of states? And so they put the Senate in and that was a more deliberative body. And it was the, each senator, they were never elected. Did you know that the senators were not elected? The senators were selected by the state legislature. So Texas, they would have a, a group of, you know, the, the, the people in the legislature in Texas, they would take a vote and they would nominate and then they would send that person to be the senator from the state of Texas, the person that would stand guard over the rights of Texas. When the progressives changed this, because it's just, you know, what they're representing, the millionaires and the billionaires. When they changed that, what did they do? They made that a national election. So you lost the idea of somebody's protecting the states. Now that it doesn't work. What a surprise. It doesn't work. Now we should just get rid of the Senate. Oh, my gosh. Now, not only that, but he'd like to take it a step further. Cut nine. Our goal is to reframe politics around class lines in the United States, which is what the ruling class has been doing. Stop, stop. I just want to. I want you to hear Karl Marx here. He wants to redefine politics. How exactly? Play that again. Our goal is to reframe politics around class lines in the United States, which is what the ruling class has been doing forever. We want to transfer power from the 1% of the working class and to replace capitalism with socialism, which means expanding democracy in every part of our lives. And that's, that's how we're organizing people together. In other countries that got more expansive things like universal health care. It happened with, with class struggle and that, that's with organized workers with majorities of the population. Power is not conceded without, without struggle. And that means people have to organize in our own interests to, to win these things. Notice he talks about health care. And what is he talking about? Health care. He's trying to make socialism sound like socialism from Sweden. Sweden and their health care system. You know, Sweden is more free market than the United States of America. Now, it wasn't always this way, you know, because they were like, we got to have free everything for everybody. And then what happened? They went broke. And so at least you want to be more like Sweden, let's be more like Sweden. You know what they do? Yes, they tax people more. Yes, you pay a lot more. But everybody pays taxes. You know who they don't penalize? Businesses and millionaires or billionaires? They don't. Why? Because then they did that. They realized everyone who builds, everybody who makes something is moving out of the country. And we can't have that happen. So they stopped punishing those people. They kept those people, and they said, everybody has to pay taxes. You want this free health care, right? You get that free health care, and it's the greatest ever in the world. Well, you're going to pay for it, and everyone is going to pay for it. Well, that wasn't enough. In the 90s, they also realized, we've got to unleash. We want to spend this money. We have to have people making this money. So they made the country much more free to do business. It is a freer market than the United States. What do these guys want to do? They want to punish the wealthy. They want to punish the people that make things. They want to make sure that only half of the country or Maybe even a 10% of the country is the one paying taxes. That's what they're promising, that it'll only be the rich that are going to pay taxes. They're doing exactly the opposite of what those countries that they claim have successful, you know, safety nets and safety nets the size that they want them. They're doing all of the opposite things. They are leading you to absolute destruction. Absolute destruction. But people are listening because nobody in Washington, you know, the most important thing Chuck Schumer has. Has done in the last 30 days. That's the most important. That's the only thing worth talking about that Chuck Schumer has done. And the Republicans are not far, far behind them. Nobody's talking about what people are actually feeling. These people are. They're saying, hey, we gotta have healthcare. We have to have cheaper healthcare. People all know that. So what do you wanna do? You wanna double down now on Obamacare that you already promised would be the answer to the cancer. You already promised that this would be the solution, that health care, that the average family would save 2,000. Was it $2,000 a year? Are you saving money since Obamacare came in? Because I'm not. No. I don't know anybody that is. It's worse than it was. At least the Swedes went, you know what? Let's learn from our. Our problems here and let's learn from the lessons that this socialist stuff, we want to have the socialized medicine and everything else, but we can't do it by punishing people who actually make and build. That's the difference. By the way, as we're struggling, there was another country that was going down this very road and they woke up. And Malay in Argentina just gave. Let's play cut 10 here. Just gave a speech on their Independence Day just last week. And listen to what he said. Let's take a moment to analyze the path we've traveled in these recent years. We avoided a hyperinflation that would have plunged nearly 90% of Argentines into poverty. And as if that weren't enough, we also managed to reduce poverty, say, to 27 or 28%. We reduced the quasi fiscal deficit from 15 points of GDP to zero. We carried out the largest adjustment in the history of humanity. We eliminated the currency controls that curtailed the freedom of people to save. In Doll, we approved the incentive regime for large investments which totaling all projects, has reached the figure of $150 billion in investment commitments. We carried out more than 16,000 reforms in the vast legal framework that was stifling Argentines. We have had a fiscal surplus for months, deleveraging a country that lives subjected to the scourge of permanent debt. We are deleveraging the country. Listen to that. Liberating the country from near hyperinflation to a fiscal surplus. How? By doing the opposite of what socialists are now saying that they have the solution for. They have the solution if you're looking. If the answer is I want to be the way Argentina was. Listen to the socialists. You want to go from near hyperinflation to fiscal surplus? Put people back to work, build things, reduce poverty, then do what Malay is doing in Argentina. More in just a second. All right. A sponsor this half hour is rapid Radios.

Listen to his answer on why that's happening. She said, though, that rape and felony assaults are concerning to her in terms of those numbers. Now she, as the council will continue to push for more officers. And she said that, you know, the NYPD is touting low numbers, but she's looking at different numbers. Somewhere in the middle is the truth. Where is it? Well, I believe the nypd, when they put forward their numbers, what we're seeing are some of the lowest numbers that New York City has seen in recorded history, especially when it comes to murders and shootings. These are the lowest we've ever seen. And what I think is important to know is a lot of the increase in rape also comes from an expanded definition of what counts as rape, as well as survivors coming for forward for acts that took place years prior. And we are thankful for them coming forward, the courage and the bravery it takes. But just to provide New Yorkers with that context, I think that's the first time he's ever said, I believe the police. I mean, and I guess his answer makes sense. You know, it's just because we've expanded the definition of rape. If you expand the definition of rape, I guess you're gonna have more people reporting rape. Either that or you're just having more rapists, which could also very well be the reason, because you seem to have a problem with bad people in your city. But maybe that's, you know, just me. Do we have also the story? I've got to get to the story here in a minute about the homeschooling. These liberal podcasters, Jennifer Welsh and Angie Sullivan, I issued a. A challenge to them earlier today. I just want to make sure they hear it. And we're going to be reaching out to them because I'm dead serious. I'd like to prove them right. And they can do it so easily. About homeschooling. We'll talk about that here in. In just a second. Also, the best states to live in. You know, CNBC came out with this thing last week, and they were like. Like, these are five best and worst states. Yeah. Really? Are they? I looked at their. The way they calculated them. I have a different calculation. I'll share that with you next. Hang on just a second. First, our sponsor is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. When everything is going well, it's easy to talk about your values. It's easy to say you believe in compassion, compassion and generosity and loving your neighbor. The real test comes when people are hurting. That's when you find out whether those words were just something you said or something you believed when people are hurting and then you add on top of that, now it's not so popular to help. Now where are your values? This is one of the reasons I'm grateful for the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. While the headlines change from day to day, they keep showing up and they provide food for hungry families, shelter for those who have been displaced, care for the elderly, emergency assistance to people in Israel whose lives have been turned upside down. Here's what's really important to me. It's not just that they are providing these things. It's a challenge to us to stand with your values and actually tell Jewish people you're not alone. We're not going to forget you this time. We're not going to just stand by quietly. Get your free Israeli American flag pin. Go to flagpinifcj.org that's your first hurdle. Are you willing to wear it on your lapel flag? Pull pinifcj.org you are not going to want to miss Glenn's list. A nice rebuttal. A savage rebuttal to CNBC next. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. You know, I didn't get a chance on Monday to talk about the CNBC best states, worst states to live in in the country. Now, cnbc, this is a business, a business network, okay? And they are ranking now the top 10 worst states to live in for 2026. And they say they are placing increased emphasis on quality of life, one of the ten categories of competitiveness in our annual America's Top States for Business Studies. Okay. For business, it's our annual ranking of every state's business climate now in its 20th year. Okay. All right. Let me just go through a couple of them. Oklahoma, one of the worst places to live. Here's what they said. Oklahoma imposes one of America's strictest bans on abortion. What does that have to do with business? State ranked 40th for worker protections. What do they mean by workers protection? They mean the right to organize for a labor union. I don't know the businesses that love labor unions. Okay, let's see. Alabama, same thing. Weaknesses, worker protections, health and inclusiveness. Okay? I mean, they get into some real hell holes, you know, real hellhole. Like do I need to even say more than Utah? What a hellhole that place is Texas. Oh, man. People can't get out of Texas fast enough. Indiana, which is 779 licensed childcare facilities in a state of nearly 7 million people. Indiana finishes at the bottom for childcare availability on a per Capita basis. What's available is expensive. Eating up 15% of the median income for household. Blah, blah, blah. Quality of life score. The strength is crime. Low on crime, weakness, child care, air quality and health. Texas, I love this. While Texas continues to lead the nation in attracting workers. Oh, I don't know. It's not just the workers that are moving to Texas. It's the business. You'd have all the workers in the world if you didn't have businesses moving in. You'd have a lot of unemployment there. But those workers are finding a broad array of challenges when they get there. They. The Lone Star State has America's highest rate of people without health insurance at 16.7%. Now, you don't think that that might have something to do with, oh, I don't know, open borders? You think maybe that percentage might be up because of the open borders? The quality of Life score is 78 out of 290 points because of child care, air quality. That's one of the reason, the strengths that they have, the weaknesses. Health, Crime, border inclusiveness, worker protections. It's a right to work. State and reproductive rights. Now, let me, let me just go through this. Health, I guess you have to have healthy workers. Crime you need, crime you want. You're going to have. You have a problem doing business if crime is everywhere. But that's apparently a weakness. Now where would that be a weakness? It would be a weakness on the border. Or I would assume you would be saying, let's say Austin, which is a blue city. Houston, which is a deeply blue city. Or Dallas, which is also a deeply blue city. Inclusiveness, okay. And worker protections and reproductive rights. I gotta tell you, at the office, as a businessman, because I just, I just want so many of my workers just to have abortions. And all of the women that work for me, they're all like, glenn, I can't work in Texas. I can't get an abortion. And I'm like, right. And that is so important to all of us here doing our jobs. America, worst place to live. Tennessee is one of them. Why? Inclusiveness. It's not the only area where the Volunteer State falls short. But they make no apologies for a rash of state laws targeting the LGBTQ plus community. Yeah, the so called bathroom law requiring transgender people to use facilities designated for their sex at birth. That's a target. They're targeting people. No, they're saying, no, we're protecting the women and the girls from creeps in the bathroom. That's what it is. Sorry. I'm sorry you were Assigned that hose at birth go into the hose room. The state also explicitly bars localities from adopting their own anti discrimination ordinances. To underscore the point, Lee signed a resolution designating June. This why you don't want to live in Tennessee, designating June Nuclear Family Month. You know what happens when you have a nuclear family? Businesses fall apart. You can't do business in a place where they. You know what I mean? You just can't. You're gonna do business where the families are strong. That's, that's what I hate about Utah. You know, you go to Utah, oh, what a hellhole that place is. There are people who actually believe in God and, you know, the family is strong. You know, it's crazy. I hear people move into Utah all the time and they say, you know, it's so great here. It is so great. It's not like California. So great. The families are so great and there's so much to do for children because there's so many kids out here. You know, the only problem is all these, all these religious people. What do you think gave you the children and the families? Oh, so anyway, I decided I was going to put in my own recommendations. And this is just for. I'm trying to think of, you know, because we often, we have a very big blue state audience, huge blue staters. They listen to this audience, this, the blue staters in this audience, probably 99% of the audience. And so I thought, I'm going to help them out. I'm going to help them out. And so I, I made a list, you know, based on a couple of different standards. For instance, I'm going to give you maybe, you know, three lists here. The first one, if you're looking for a state that has the fewest people that believe in God, the highest concentration of Hamas supporters, and the lowest, lowest marriage rates. Oh, and if, you know, no state is complete, you got to have fewest people that believe in God. You know, you don't want any of those dirty religious people. You got to be surrounded by a bunch of people who love Hamas. You know, they don't stick to that old idea of marriage, but they're also overly educated. These are the best states for you. Massachusetts, number one. Number two, New York, I mean, Columbia, ground zero for the encampments. You know, so Vermont, least religious state in America and one of the lowest marriage rates. But the great thing is education levels far above, you know, where, where you would think Vermont, because it's rural, you'd think that they'd just be bunch of dummies, but they're not, they're over educated and that's why they're the release religious state. And the lowest marriage rates in the country. That's what you're looking for. You're looking for Vermont and of course California or Washington State. Bottom five in religious affiliation, top 10 in advanced degrees, you know, and sustained activism at the University of Washington. So you got that whole thing wrapped up. Just live in Seattle, because that's not a hellhole. Now if you're looking for a different kind of place, maybe you're looking for a place with the most morbidly fat people. You know, people who are so fat you're like they're going to die in the next 10 minutes. And you're looking for fat people who can't read and the weakest labor force. These are the five states for you. West Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Nevada. Now Nevada, number four is really, because of the unemployment rates only behind D.C. and California. Plus rough. Roughly one in four adults lack basic literacy. So Nevada makes it. Obesity is only middling, you know, which keeps it out of the top three. But they're being pushed from behind, if you will, by D.C. and in California as a state. Now, if you're. If you want to live in a place where it's super easy to find a drug dealer and you want a lot of people living in tents, plus low test scores for your kids in school and the most outrageously unreasonable housing costs, you need to live in New Mexico. That's number one. Okay, dead last in fourth grade math. And it's a deeply blue state, so you're going to Love it there. 16 points below the national average in 8th grade math. Newsweek and said that it fell another 13 points in 8th grade math from an already low base. And the American Enterprise Institute say it is chronically top tier overdose rate and housing that's cheap on paper but that's brutal because the incomes are so low, but you're gonna be able to find drugs there. Okay, Nevada, bottom tier schools, Las Vegas. Housing market prices are far ahead, you know, of what you can make there. And it's a wide open corridor for fentanyl and method. So you got that going for you. Number three is Alaska, but you gotta live in Alaska. I mean it's beautiful and everything, but I hear it gets cold. Number four is Oregon. So again, if you're looking for drugs, I mean an easy way to get drug. You gotta find a drug dealer. You need them in 10 minutes. Oregon's your place to be. Homeless people living in Tents, hello, Portland, you know, and low test scores in school, but unreasonable housing costs. Oregon and course California. California is great. Now honorable mention here, Arizona and Washington just miss this list. But now let's just say you're the typical stereotypical blue stater and this is so bad. And your lifestyle is just calling for just non stop liquor stores and strip clubs and casinos because you're a dirtbag and you're like, I need to be surrounded by strip clubs, liquor stores and casinos. Where do I go? Well, not to Utah. Not to, not to Utah. No, no, I couldn't actually, I don't know why I couldn't put together the list of the top 10. I could only do the bottom 10. I'm sorry, the bottom five. So these are the places if you are looking for strip clubs, you're looking for liquor stores and casinos. Here's where you don't want to, you don't want to live in Hawaii, which surprised me, honestly. You'd think there'd be a lot of that because I don't know if you know this. You know, it's like when you're in a car chase in Hawaii. Where are you going? The freeway is a circle. I mean, you're just going to end up at the same place. Why don't they just block it? Because you're coming back eventually. You know, there's not a lot to do on the guy. I mean, unless you're an outdoorsy person or you want human sacrifice in a volcano, it's probably the number one place to human sacrifice, you know, in a volcano. So no legal casinos there. No lottery, you know, casino.org none of that. They won't even let cruise ships fire up the slots in state waters. You know, it's, what's weird though is it's not like cruise ships. If you have a casino in Hawaii on a cruise ship, you can't, you can't pull in a port. But if you're on a gay cruise, unlike the people who are really shocked, there were these gay cruises that were, that were going to Egypt. No, Turkey. Sorry, Turkey. And it was a gay cruise. And they were shocked when they pulled in and turkey, because therefore, you know, I'm sure a lot of the people on board were like, hey, I'm with Hamas. You know, they love gay people. And so they, they pull into the, they pull into the, to the dock. And they were shocked and horrified that there were places in the Middle east that don't accept gay people. Even a ship of gay people. You know, what kind of country is that, it's a, it's, it's, it's rather amazing. There was somebody also that moved to Sweden. They were transgender and they were like, I got to get out of America because it's so hateful. So they moved to the glorious land of Sweden and now they're realizing, wow, they're bringing in a lot of people that are not Swedish and they don't like transgender. And now they feel that their life is at stake. So they're moving back to the evil United States. It's weird. A lot of lessons being learned. Lot of lessons being learned. But those are the states that you should live in. You know, if you're looking for those things. And you're welcome, cnbc, I did the work for you. So, you know, if you're looking to start a business and you're a liquor store or a casino or a strip club, don't start in Hawaii, Utah, Alabama, South Carolina or Idaho because they're not, they're not interested in any of that.

Our chief of content for the Glenn Beck program is Rockstar Ricky, of course. And Ricky, tomorrow can we get in as many people that would have maybe some idea of what the president is going to talk about tomorrow at 9pm he says this is the biggest news and that America needs to wake up. No bigger news in America for free and fair elections than tomorrow night. What he's going to talk about reveal. You can't wait until 9pm Eastern tomorrow night? No, I can't. Wanna know ahead of time? Yeah, I do. I want to know ahead of time. So we're gonna try to get some people on that can give us some kind of sneak peek if possible. Otherwise just blind speculation on tomorrow on tomorrow's program because this is he apparently is going to be talking about Cuba, also a foreign country that involved in the 2020 election to throw it and to the two senators from Georgia he says are illegitimate because of election fraud and apparently he's going to prove it tomorrow night.
The Glenn Beck Program
Episode: "Stop Calling Democrats Communists. Call Them This Instead"
Date: July 15, 2026
Host: Glenn Beck, Mercury Radio Arts
In this lively and satirical episode, Glenn Beck tackles themes of political labeling, the state of American politics, and the dangers of divisive language. Beck argues for more precise and effective criticism of left-wing policies, urging listeners to drop the overused “communist” label and adopt the term “confiscators” or “the politics of plunder.” The episode also covers the ineffectiveness of Congress, misinformation, the state of the housing market, and the rise in socialism among younger Americans.
(00:15 – 18:00)
“No balance books, no spending cuts. Next up, bill protecting pizza crust. They haven't gotten to the pizza crust bill yet, but they're going to. Don't panic, don't panic.” (~03:00)
(53:00 – 66:00)
“The theory wasn’t ever about Zachary Taylor. In 1850, the rumor didn’t spread because there was evidence. It spread because Americans had already decided that other Americans were capable of murdering a president over a policy dispute.” (~65:00)
(87:00 – 110:00)
“Only 54% of Americans have a positive view of capitalism... More Democrats think highly of socialism than capitalism.” (~95:00)
(110:00 – 130:00)
“One side runs the market and the other side runs a plan. And that's why millions of people — over a hundred million people — have died from communism in the last 120 years.” (~124:00)
(130:00 – 152:00)
“Plunder means taking something that isn’t yours... But when somebody wears the robes of government... we call it justice and hold a ribbon cutting for it.” (~134:00)
“Pick up the test instead. Next time they roll out a program, don’t shout communist. Ask a question out loud: Does this take from somebody what was his and hand it to somebody else that it never belonged to?” (~151:00)
(155:00 – 175:00)
“We don't think abolishing the Senate is extreme. We think it's a change that would help make this country more democratic.” (~156:30)
(100:00 – 152:00, woven throughout)
“They have no idea. So we can’t just yell 'communist' because they’re not going to listen. And I don’t want a better insult; I want a better word. I want something you can point to... what these policies actually do.” (~137:00)
For listeners who missed the episode: This summary captures not just the arguments, but Beck’s signature irreverent and combative style, his blend of storytelling and policy critique, and his call to update the language of political engagement.
