Mamdani & AOC Are Correct: This System Is RIGGED | Guest: Justin Haskins | 9/9/25

2h 12m
What is happening with France? Glenn lays out what went wrong in France and why its government is collapsing. The prime minister of France says the hard part out loud: We have to love those who are hard to love while also dealing with their negative impact on the economy. Despite the failures of France being apparent, New York City is months away from electing somebody who will implement the exact same policies that destroyed France. Glenn recounts the story of a terrifying warning he received regarding his reporting on George Soros. America is on a dangerous path, and Glenn warns that if we don’t change course soon, we’ll live to regret it. Our Republic co-founder and president, Justin Haskins, joins to discuss a troubling poll that shows a growing number of young Americans support socialist policies. Glenn explains how America hasn’t been a capitalistic country in decades. The younger generation is correct to reject America’s current economic system, and Glenn makes the case to allow the free market to make a comeback. Glenn outlines why civics is a critical subject that isn’t being taught enough in schools. The guys debate the political beliefs of various Hollywood celebrities.

Hello, America.

There's problems in France.

We begin there in just a second.

First, let me tell you about Real Estate Agents I Trust.

Finding the right real estate agent is like finding the right pair of shoes.

Too pushy, you can't relax, too passive, you're doing all the work.

Well, hello, Stu.

How are you?

Wonderful, Glenn.

How are you?

Oh, so very, very good.

So very good.

The Washington Post is reporting something shocking today that France is in trouble.

I wouldn't have seen this coming,

except I did.

But

President Macron now has to search for a fifth prime minister in two years.

I have to tell you, I don't understand the prime minister thing.

I don't understand, you know, foreign governments.

I'm just glad we don't have one like this.

But apparently, you know, Macron wanted to consolidate his power.

And so he had, you know, national elections over the summer.

And it did the exact opposite.

It really made things really bad.

So the prime minister, François Beirou,

he put together a government for France.

And

he said, we can't afford the things that we need to afford.

And remember, the United States is putting pressure on Europe to pay for their own defense.

And so France said, okay, we'll do, what, 5% or 6%,

5%

of our defense, and we'll put 5% in so we can defend ourselves, et cetera, et cetera, because the United States can't afford it anymore.

Well, to do that,

they had to cut a few things.

And

what this whole thing, the whole government is up in arms now.

Everything is up for grabs.

The reason why it has collapsed is because

the prime minister said, okay, here's what we're going to do.

We're going to cut the budget, but we're only going to freeze welfare payments, meaning we're not going to increase any welfare.

We're just going to freeze them at the current levels, and then we're going to cut two holidays out.

That set France on fire.

You don't really have a country if you're like, two holidays, burn the whole thing down.

Now,

I want to read to you exactly what the Washington Post said, and I just want you to think, do they see the irony at all?

For decades, according to the Washington Post, for decades, European countries got away with spending lavishly on health care and education, unemployment insurance, and public sector pensions, often with heavy borrowing, while chronically underspending on defense because they had a free ride under the American security umbrella.

But with the war in Ukraine, it proved to be a wake-up call.

President Donald Trump's threats to rally European defense forced leaders on the continent to think seriously about what Macron calls strategic autonomy, meaning the ability to act without relying on the United States.

France spends 2.1% of its GDP on defense.

Macron has pledged to double that to $75 billion by 2027.

The nation's budget deficit already runs at 6% of GDP, and the public debt is 114% of GDP.

That is the third largest figure in Europe, behind Greece and Italy.

Reconciling the ambition to grow defense spending with the goal of cutting the deficit and reducing the debt has proved impossible.

The French public broadly agrees with the need to hike defense spending.

The question is how to pay for it, and that's where the divisions emerge.

The left prefers increasing taxes on the wealthy and the corporations.

This again, according to the Washington Post, which would further undermine economic growth.

On the right, Marine Le Pen's National Rally Party wants to fund a military buildup by curtailing services for immigrants and slashing France's contributions to the European Union.

Gee, I wonder which one is the right one to do.

Mac Ron, who is governing from the center, is in his second and final term, which ends in May 2027.

My guess is it could be a little earlier than that.

Washington Post, do you by any chance see any irony in what you're writing?

You are the first to push for higher taxes on the wealthy and the corporations.

You're the first to say, well, we can't cut any of this spending.

This is crazy.

We should cut defense, if anything.

You're now lecturing us on what the problem is in France, and you don't see that that is exactly the same thing that's happening here in the United States.

Let me give you an example of how close we are to France, okay?

Which European countries are the closest to France in public debt?

Okay.

They're third.

Greece is 152.5%

of their debt to GDP.

152.

137.9%,

Belgium.

Spain, 103.5%.

Looking at international figures,

France's debt of 114% of GDP is still lower lower than Japan at 216 and Greece

at 190.

So the countries most similar, Italy, Belgium, Spain, comparing France to Europe and the US,

public debt, percent of GDP.

France, roughly 114%.

Europe, around 88%.

The United States, remember, France is collapsing at 114%.

The United States, anywhere between 110 and 123%.

The budget deficit, France, this is why they can't hold it together with a budget deficit of 5.5 to 6% of GDP.

The United States, we are above 6.5% of GDP.

So let me see if I have this straight.

France is collapsing and is absolutely unsustainable, but the United States, there's no calls in the Washington Post.

There's nothing in the Washington Post today that goes, hey, you know what?

Maybe we're learning something about France.

Maybe we should start making some cuts now.

Nope.

Nope.

None whatsoever.

To me,

ah, that says something.

That says an awful lot, quite frankly.

In fact, do we happen to have

the,

what was his name, Mockton or

Lord, I think Lord Moncton.

Yeah, do we have the Lord Moncton?

Yeah, listen to this.

This is a guy in

England speaking to the House of Lords.

Listen to this.

Do you suppose that even Rachel Reeves, even though she's what we call in York as thick as two short planks,

the fact is, she knows perfectly well that if you tax the non-doms to force them overseas and force all the billionaires and billionaires and all their companies with them overseas, that is going to lose you revenue.

She knew that when she taxed the private schools, that would mean all the private school kids are going to have to come into the public schools, and she was going to lose revenue on it.

She didn't care because it's all about destroy, destroy, destroy, kill, kill, kill.

That's what communism is all about.

They know what they're doing.

They are working with hostile actors and foreign regimes that do not wish us well.

Because the Labour Party does not wish this country well, they wish to destroy us.

Until you understand that,

you understand nothing.

That's the trouble we're facing here.

They really mean us harm.

And we have to love them all the same.

And we have to try to show them that it's so much better if you don't mean us harm.

And if instead we have a free market and we have low taxes, small government, and then we spend the money only where it really has to be spent.

We need to spend more on defence and not just by shuffling it around so you're pretending you're spending 5% of GDP when all you're doing is saying that rural broadband counts towards defence spending, which is a sort of trick they're using at the moment.

They're going to have to spend more on welfare, unfortunately, until we get that sorted out.

And so, you know, it's not going to be easy to balance the budget.

The aim should be to balance the budget, but the Labour Party isn't even trying.

They're trying to make the budget even more unbalanced until the whole system collapses, because it's only when they can force it to collapse that they will then say that capitalism has failed and and we must now have communism written in tooth and claw.

And I can tell you, if you're the working people of this country, if they get away with that, you will not like it.

You will suffer first and worst, because those who are rich enough and smart enough to see it coming will have got out with as much of their wealth as they can before it happens.

But you won't be given that luxury.

You will be trapped here in the misery that is communism.

And that is what we face unless

we can persuade the Labour Party to stop being communist.

Good luck.

And that's not easy.

They're so wedded to the destruction of this country.

But we have been tame in not saying this.

We have kind of almost assumed that they are a legitimate political party just like the rest of us and they all mean well.

They don't mean well.

They mean this country harm.

They have an ideology that comes well before any mere individual comrade or citizen of this country.

They do not understand.

Does this not sound like somebody in 2010?

Yes.

I mean, this is exactly what I said in 2009 and 2010.

And I was called absolutely nuts for saying it.

No one else was saying it.

And here we are.

This is exactly what is happening right now.

And now you can actually see it.

Will anyone recognize it?

Because what's happening is at the same time they are collapsing us, they are convincing the youth, especially that socialism is the answer.

And I have an answer to that coming up.

Next hour,

we're going to talk to Justin Haskins again.

Justin yesterday joined us to show a new poll that is out.

We're going to release the second half of the poll today

that shows

Generation Z is,

they are lock, stock, and barrel in

with socialism.

And

I believe it's because of frustration and no one else presenting another option.

You can't just say capitalism, capitalism, capitalism, because capitalism doesn't look and appear to be working because people don't understand that we haven't been doing the free market.

We haven't had a free market here in over a hundred years.

What they're seeing is this distortion of government and

corporations in bed with each other.

You think the rich keep getting richer, right?

You think that the,

well, the banks keep getting bailed out.

Who's bailing them out?

Who's bailing them out?

It's the government.

The government, both the Republicans and the Democrats, are bailing them out.

It is the collusion between big business and the government that is the problem.

There is another solution.

What the left is suggesting is we make the government bigger

and hope that it will change its ways.

Hopefully, we'll get some people in there that will see the light of day and they'll be absolute saints with all of this power.

And what they'll do do is they'll fix the problem.

No, they will only make it worse.

This is why communism fails every single time.

Because when you give people power, they don't get better, they get worse.

The solution is to reduce the size of the government, to cut all of the regulation.

We're going to get into that here in just a little while, but what happened in France is coming all over Europe.

It is coming all over Europe.

And we are just going to be the last one to fall.

Back in just a minute.

First, let me tell you about American financing.

NMLS 182334, NMLS Consumer Access.org.

APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

So most people don't realize you don't have to be rich to make smart financial moves.

You just need to know where the right levers to pull are.

Sometimes the right lever is the mortgage on your home.

If you're carrying high interest debt on credit cards, personal loans, and auto payments, you might be bleeding money without even realizing it.

But if you own a home, you might be able to use that equity to lower your monthly bills, pay off debts faster, or even shorten your mortgage term.

American Finance isn't just a mortgage company.

They're a strategic partner helping you seek financial wellness.

And they'll help you run the numbers, look at the big picture, and actually plan, give you a plan, work with you on a plan that will actually work for your life, not for the bank.

You don't need to gamble in the stock market to get ahead.

Sometimes you just need to restructure what you already have.

Smart money moves,

and it doesn't have to be a move that is dramatic.

They just have to be smart moves.

And American Financing can help you make those moves.

Call American Financing now at 800-906-2440.

That's 800-906-2440.

Or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

10 seconds and back to the show.

So long time no see, Stu.

It's good to have you back.

I came back yesterday.

You were back

today.

It's

nice to be with you again.

Nice to see you.

I was in France ruining the nation.

Were you?

Yes.

That was my goal.

Yeah.

You just traveled over with a suitcase of matches.

Right.

They seem to want to light themselves on fire.

Why not help?

It's crazy, isn't it?

It is just crazy what's going on.

It's amazing.

And especially, as you point out, the media seems to have no self-awareness.

They have been pushing for all of this stuff to happen here forever.

And they're like, can you believe France?

Can you believe they would do such a stupid thing?

Yeah.

Look at what they look at.

I mean, let me just give you again that one line that just kills me

from the Washington Post here.

They have spent lavishly on health care, education, and unemployment insurance and public sector pensions.

I mean, that is everything the Washington Post stands for.

That's everything the New York Times stands for.

That's everything the Democratic Party stands for.

And quite frankly, many times the Republican Party stands for that.

Yeah.

I mean, how do you not see this?

I also think the world has, you know, it is a way to really wake the world up.

Like, Trump forcing them to pay the 5% does so many interesting things.

And the other part of this is the farther we go into turning against capitalism, and we're going to start to talk about this on the show today.

But the farther we go down that road, the more

the socialist structure falls apart because all of it is built on the innovations that we have achieved.

Like, there is no,

the medications that make it possible for people to extend their lives came from a capitalist society.

And socialist economies, without having to spend on their own defense, are able for a time and with increasing debt to prop healthcare systems up based on our backs.

Right.

You know,

you need to look at socialism and communism as cannibalism.

For a while, there's plenty of meat.

Then you start running out of meat and you have to start eating your neighbor and maybe your friends and your family.

That's what communism is.

It doesn't create anything new, nothing new.

It's all cannibalism.

It just takes whatever has been there and it just consumes it.

Look at Venezuela.

What happened?

They were were the richest nation outside of America in the West.

They were the golden child of capitalism and

prosperity.

They were great, very wealthy.

And then what happened?

They started flirting with socialism.

And eventually they got Hugo Chavez and he just started to nationalize all of the companies.

Yesterday, Stu, you weren't here, but we started on a poll.

The rest of it today is even more frightening, but we showed a poll that shows that, what was it, 60%

were for nationalizing, 60%,

including 40% of Republicans under the age of 39.

60 or 58% are for nationalizing health care, energy, and housing.

Oh, and food.

Oh, this is going to work out really well.

We're going to give you some more information on that and how to fight it coming up.

And soon, the torch arrives.

This is Glenn Beck.

All right, let me do some sleep math with you.

Let's start with this.

Say you go to bed at midnight and wake up at six.

That's six hours.

If you fall asleep right away, you don't wake up and use the bathroom.

You don't stare at the ceiling thinking about taxes.

You don't get, you know, woken by the dogs or the wind or the kids, or your brain just decides to be a night owl.

Spoiler alert, for me at least, that never happens.

Most of us aren't getting anywhere near enough sleep throughout the night, and our bodies are paying for it throughout the day.

Exhaustion, mood swings, the weird brain fog that never lifts.

As a guy who,

for 10 years back in the early 2000s, I did not have any REM sleep.

So I didn't have a dream for 10 years.

I slept about two to three hours every day, and it was fitful.

And I have to tell you, the damage it did to my body, your body cannot sort things,

it can't file things in the right way.

And it causes your body all kinds of problems because it has no time to reset and heal.

Z Factor is a natural sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor, and it'll help you sleep.

I want you to go to relieffactor.com and just try it.

49% savings now, 800 for relief, 800 for relief.

It's Relief Factor and Z Factor.

We're talking today about the collapse of France or what is coming as a collapse in France and how

just nobody is.

Nobody's noticing, well, that's our country, too.

That's weird.

And imagine they're in this situation now where

they can't afford to do the things they're doing.

Imagine what's going to happen when you cut off all of the immigrants, when you stop paying them for not working, when all of a sudden all of that goes away.

Do you think they're going to be happy about it?

Do you think they're going to not light the streets on fire?

I mean, and how are they going to afford to be able to hold that together?

I mean,

it's remarkable.

And how does the BBC report this today?

The BBC report on this is absolutely hilarious.

I love

this quote.

Simply put, France's government has for decades spent more money than it has generated.

As a result, it has to borrow to cover its budget.

So

this is the West looking at France and saying,

we didn't get caught by the principal smoking cigarettes.

That was those other kids, the French.

They're the ones that were smoking those cigarettes.

And they're still doing it.

They're all on the verge, including us.

we are all on the verge of collapse and nobody's recognizing it everybody's like yeah yeah look at the dummies in france you you mentioned migration though and i think that's really really huge to this because this is exactly what what's his name lord voldemort was talking about i mean he's talking about the cloward and piven strategy on a national scale what they're talking about what's happening with france here is exactly what happened in new york city what cloward and piven did in new york city back in the 70s i know

Then what do you think migration is going to do?

It's going to continue that.

It is the point of migration.

It is the point of this migration.

And we should point out as well.

They're attempting to do it again in New York right now, right?

Like this is all starting.

We are months away from a guy winning in a

mayoral election potentially

where he will implement all of this.

And worse, he will try to skip multiple generations of the buildup toward it and just

cut to the chase and give you some version of socialism in a city that, while thankfully now far away from where I live, also has a massive influence on the economy of not only our country, but the world.

It's the financial center of the world we're talking about these policies being implemented in.

We are on the verge.

Here's how split the people are from the elites.

There is an ad that was apparently blocked blocked in the UK, but it was made by Coinbase for the UK.

And the whole ad is called Everything is Fine.

Okay.

And I just want to play some of it

here.

This is an ad blocked in the UK.

Listen.

Morning.

We're cozy here at home, even though it's not our own.

But wait a few more years and who can see

Everything is just fine

Everything is grand

You're life can get no lantern when you're living by the letter In this pleasant land

Everything is just fine

Everything is great

The streets can't get no cleaner No the rat meat any leaner No life is just first rate.

Everything is just fine.

These fish fingers are a steal.

Prices are a sneeze.

A hundred quid a me, or twenty purse.

But hey, could be worse if there was nothing in the fridge.

Shows them dancing in the supermarket.

Whether everybody's broke.

Means I get to work for myself.

Yay!

Hey, look, my Lord and Free.

The tips from each each delivery.

Excuse me, sir, I have your tangory.

Everything is just fine.

Everything

is grand.

Your life can get no better when you're living by the letter.

In this blessed land,

everything

is just fine.

Everything is great.

We're soldiering on.

We're doing our best.

We're off to Dubai.

It's time to jump ship.

We're tonging our bells with a stiff

tip for telling us the king and

the turret.

Wow.

Everything's just fine.

Don't change anything.

Coinbase.

A society falling apart all around the military.

I mean,

if that isn't true,

I mean, that shows you how the British people actually feel.

I'm convinced of it.

The actual people, just like here in America, we know everything's not fine, but imagine over there.

It is much, much worse.

And you're not allowed to say those things.

And this ad proves it because it's blocked in the UK.

Yeah, people are looking at France right now because of the news, but people should be looking at the UK.

I mean, every single day it looks like, oh my gosh, they're going to erupt.

I just saw

an article this morning about the car industry in France.

I mean, in England.

It's over.

It's over.

The Mini, which was the only thing really holding up the car industry, you know, I mean, they used to have Jaguar and

Range Rover.

They're now being built overseas.

The Mini is now moving all of the jobs over to China.

China is going to be building the mini now.

Well, what's left for the British worker?

It's just to protest out in the streets, pretty much.

Have you seen their version of Sabo?

No, Banksy.

Yeah, Banksy.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, do you see his latest art was

like a judicial or judge beating a protester with his gavel?

And they immediately responded, the authorities did by covering it up and posting two armed guards until they can get it painted over.

They are terrified of their people right now.

Terrified.

And they're arresting people for unfurling flags at demonstrations, British and English flags.

So the English flag is the one that is really

curious to me.

The English flag is white and red.

So if you see the red, white, and blue, the British flag has all the stripes.

The red stripes represent the British, I mean, sorry, the English flag, okay?

And that's just a red cross in the center of a white flag.

So

that's part of the British flag.

And what they did is people are starting to say, well, I'm English and I am proud to be English because they're dismantling England.

And I'm proud to be.

And they are now arresting children,

children, for wearing t-shirts with the English English flag on it.

Are you kidding me?

Did you see the guy, the

veteran that was protesting in the streets, and all he was doing was displaying a flag?

He was displaying an English flag.

He's a veteran.

He was in a wheelchair and they picked him up and put him in the paddy wagon.

That's not going to last.

That is not going to last.

How are you going to afford defense

and national defense inside?

You're not.

You're not.

Your enemies are within the gates now.

And it's happening here just slower.

And if we don't wake up soon, it's going to happen because the entire West is going to collapse.

I saw a video yesterday from a couple of people that claim to be CIA people.

I don't know if they are or not.

I don't even know what that means if they are.

But they were making a very good case on

everything's just fine.

What they're saying is

exactly what George Soros' guy said to my guy back in 2009.

We were threatened by George Soros.

I was threatened by George Soros

through a member of his team.

And my guy had lunch with this guy because he asked for lunch.

Mr.

Soros would like to speak to, it was Joel Cheatwood at the time, would like to speak to Mr.

Cheatwood about what your boss is doing on air.

And I was told to stop talking about George Soros because, quote, it is hurt, your boss is hurting my boss, and it will end.

And when

Joel said, no, I don't think that's going to end.

I know my boss, and I don't think he's going to stop.

He said, I don't think you understand.

He is going to stop.

And you should just let your boss know that the ship is about to sail.

This is 2009.

Everything that is needed is on board, and everyone's getting onto the boat, and it's about to set sail.

And you do not want to be left on the dock, but it's setting sail and it's going to leave.

And your boss and you people are not going to be on it.

And our response was, Good, I don't want to be on a ship with with you.

But that is really what's happening right now.

And what these

supposed CIA agents said

was

the die has been cast now.

It's beyond being able to go back and fix it.

It is going to morph.

Now, what is it going to morph into?

And they were making the case that basically what was in that ad from Coinbase, it had had two people in like a, I don't know, a BMW or something.

And the husband said, you know, something like, it's time to get to Dubai.

You know, and so they're, they're leaving, you know, because the rich will get out.

They will get out.

Exactly what Lord Moncton said as well just a few minutes ago.

They'll get out.

And then you're left behind.

And we have to decide right now

what is it we're fighting for?

What is it that is essential that we keep?

Because

if this socialism thing goes, America,

we're about to see one of the darkest predictions that I have made.

come true if we don't turn this around.

And that is,

if America goes dark with the powers that we have, the technology that we have, the ability that we have, we will make the Nazis look like rookies.

And it's true.

China is already doing it.

And if we are not careful, that is the road we will go down.

It is imperative.

that we support the youth, that we look to them

and build them up in healthy ways by teaching them, by mentoring them, by showing them that there is hope in the future.

I want to spend some time.

There's a new poll out today

on Gen Z

that shows that there's a gender divide in Gen Z.

And

it goes in, it's way beyond politics.

It goes into gender, marriage, children, and success.

And

the problem is, is that the men in Gen Z, the boys in Gen Z,

they get it, but the women have been so entirely lost to this socialism thing, they don't even know where to find happiness.

And we're going to get into that.

Let me break here quickly and tell you about Good Ranchers.

Every few months, you have to do a prescription or a subscription purge.

I don't know if you've ever done that before.

You need to.

You check the bank statement, you see a bunch of charges that you forgot about, and you just start canceling them.

Streaming services that you don't use, fitness apps you never, ever opened.

And then there are the keepers.

They're the subscriptions that you're glad to see, the ones that show up and make your life a little better.

And for me, Good Ranchers is one of those because every box that arrives is packed with 100% American meat, all raised here on farms in the U.S.

Welcome to the table.

What you're hearing are your thoughts.

Via the mind and mouth of Glenn Beck.

More next.

Okay, so you heard me talk about the Chef Man Pebble Ice Maker.

I love that thing.

It's like it's my life.

It really is.

But now, Chef Man has officially outdone themselves with the Obliterator.

Yes, the Obliterator.

It is next level, not just a blender.

It is a kitchen beast.

The motor, 1,380 watts.

It spins up to 29,000 RPM, which means it doesn't matter if you're blending ice or frozen fruit or hot, you know, soup sauces or, you know, tough vegetables, whatever you got, it blasts through everything.

Uses auto blend technology, which actually reads the texture of what you're blending.

So this always happens to me with blenders.

Like instead of guessing and stopping every 10 seconds, shaking the thing, trying to figure it out, you just hit the button once and just let it do its thing.

Perfect consistency every single time.

Cleanup's also a pain with blenders, but not with this one.

You just press self-clean and you're done.

You don't even have to take the thing apart.

It's got six intuitive speed settings, a countdown timer, a dedicated ice crush button, and a travel jar that you can blend directly into it and take it on the go.

They've got the Triton blending jar.

It's basically dishwasher safe.

It's got all these great features.

And despite all the power this thing has, it's got a great award-winning design.

It actually looks good on your counter.

You don't have to like hide it under the sink.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Do anything fun, Stu, while you were gone?

Yeah.

Worth mentioning?

I'm trying to think.

I don't think so, really.

That nothing that I think would be

particularly interesting to

the audience.

I did go to

Crime Con, which is a crime conference, like true crime thing.

The one thing I thought was really interesting was they had a session on the guy who, I'm not going to say his name, murdered the healthcare executive in New York.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And what's interesting about that conference is it's out of my world, right?

Like it's not a...

It's not a conservative conference.

Like it's pretty spread across the board.

Like, I think there's definitely some conservatives there who like law and order, but also some liberals who are, you know,

innocence project type.

You know what I mean?

There's a whole variety.

I love the fact that it was not, there was no, there was no

lionizing this guy.

Like there, there wasn't a,

it wasn't a praise session.

Like both sides were like, hey, this was really, really wrong, and these types of things are scary and need to be stopped.

And I feel like that is, I think that's actually where people are, despite the fact that I see posts every single day saying how cute and adorable he is, and how, you know, we need to, he did this important thing that's going to start this revolution and all this.

Like, I don't know, maybe we just get disconnected to reality.

And I think you pointed this out earlier with the Coinbase video.

Regular people in regular life are in a different place than I think a lot of times we get the sense of from the media and certainly social media.

I think so too.

What concerns me is the vast number of people that are in the middle who just don't think that who are singing everything is just fine.

That they have bought into,

well, you know, this stuff happens all the time and we're not really in a crisis and everything else.

No, we are.

We are in a very large crisis right now.

And if we all wake up and pay attention, we can change the world.

This is Glenn Beck.

So how is your emergency supply?

You know, September is National Preparedness Month and the world is like, yeah, France is burning down to the ground, but it'll never happen here.

You really should look into, you know,

what would your family do in case you needed some extra supplies?

Right now, with my Patriot supply, you can get a year's worth of emergency food, water, water filtration system that can clean almost any water source.

Do you remember when we had, no, we had an intern do it?

I wasn't going to do it, but we had an intern take this water filtration system from my Patriot supply, put it in a mud puddle and drink through the straw.

The mud puddle in New York City.

That's like talk.

That's, I mean, the guy, well, he

didn't die immediately.

But no, I mean, it was clean water.

It was crazy.

It'll clean anything.

You get a solar backup generator, survival tools, including 90 life-saving items that could make all the difference for your family.

Right now, you can get that 90 preparedness essentials totaling $1,500 free.

This is

the Glenbeck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

Yesterday, we had Justin Haskins on, and he is joining us again today for part two of a new poll.

This is the first time released, so this is an exclusive poll

on

18 to 39-year-olds, young voters, American voters, and it is well balanced between conservatives and liberals, independents, etc., etc.

But there are a lot of people that said that they voted for Donald Trump in this.

However, we found out yesterday, in the results we gave you yesterday, the approval rating for Trump was higher than expected.

It was at 48%.

Yet, 76%

of those who took the poll, including many who voted for Donald Trump, strongly agree or somewhat agree that major industries like healthcare, energy, and big tech should be nationalized to give more control and equity to the people.

53% of voters 18 to 39 say they would like to see a Democratic Socialist candidate win.

the presidential election in 2028, and that included 35% of voters who say they voted for Donald Trump.

The main reason they want it is because they say prices of housing is just too high.

55%, we found out yesterday, said they would support a law that would confiscate Americans' wealth, including things like second homes, luxury cars, and private boats.

55%.

Take it away from the rich and give it to us so we could afford to buy a house.

If you thought that was a bad sign, wait until you hear the rest of the poll.

We're going to give you the rest of the poll here now exclusively on the Glenbeck program.

And

we need to work on an action plan because this is not good.

What we're seeing from those who are under 39 years old, they are the voters that are going to be making the decisions for the world.

And they are very, very lost.

And for good reason.

They haven't been taught.

It is criminal.

Our education system is criminal borderline treasonous

and our media is exactly the same way.

But nobody is offering them any good solutions.

They don't want the Republican solution.

They don't want the Democrat solution.

And nobody's offering them a third way.

I think we have one and we'll get into that after the poll.

Justin joins us in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

When did your phone plan start funding politics?

Did you vote for abortion tourism?

Would you?

Did you ask for Drag Queen Story Hour in schools?

Would you support that?

How about a side of wokeness with your wireless service?

Every time you make a phone call with the big carriers, you are paying for some of that stuff.

Because look, the honest truth is mobile phone carriers, digital stuff, it is a very lucrative business.

And many people have taken this business and they make all this money and then they've decided they're going to fund these woke activities.

And so a lot of money that folk that that

pays for all of these things is actually coming from your phone bill and you just didn't know it.

Well, Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative wireless mobile phone company.

They use exactly the same tower, so you're getting exactly, literally exactly the same coverage at a better price.

And this goes, some of their money goes to fund things that fight against what the other phone companies are funding.

Justin Haskins joins us now.

Justin, welcome to the program.

He is the president of our republic and stoppingsocialism.com, the editor-in-chief.

He is also one of the co-authors of several of my books.

Welcome, Justin.

So, this poll that we had,

we started yesterday, it's a good sample size, about 2,000 people across the country, and balanced between left and right, would you say?

Oh, yeah.

Yep, very balanced.

Okay.

And we went through some things that were disturbing, but when we get to

question number

12, it really starts to go

really crazy.

But let's start at number 11.

Which country should be the most powerful country in the world?

America, Canada, a European country, South or Central American country, or an African country, Asian country, or the United Nations?

Give me the results on this.

Yeah, only 59% of respondents chose America.

The rest of the responses were spread out amongst all these other countries around the world, but the number two choice was 11% for the United Nations.

So that was number two.

So that means 41% of young people do not think America should be the most powerful country in the world, which is pretty disturbing, obviously, but not the most disturbing thing we're going to talk about today.

Right.

And I actually found a little hope in that, that still 59% say America.

because you would not think that,

at least I wouldn't.

And the other good news is this number two was the United Nations at 11%.

And the reason why I find that hopeful is because of some of the other questions that we're going to share with you here and the answers to a couple of other things.

United Nations, most powerful in the world, only 11% believe that.

However, let's go into question 12.

Would you support a law that imposes a maximum annual income tax for individuals?

Right, an income cap.

So blocking the amount of money.

So in other words, the law that says you can't make more than a certain amount of money if you're an individual.

And then we gave a bunch of different numbers, $100 million, $10 million is spread out all over these different numbers, all the way down to $100,000 and $200,000, which believe it or not, some people did say that should be the law.

If you add up all those numbers, you get 59%

of voters, likely young voters, say, yes, there should be some kind of limit on how much money you can make in America as an individual person.

And when you take out the 14% of not sure, that leaves us with only 27% of those under 39 say we should not have income caps.

Right.

That's really not good.

No, that is not good.

And one of the things that we see in this question and in a whole bunch of the other questions too is that

millennials, because there's this narrative that millennials are actually more liberal than Gen Z.

Gen Z is getting more conservative.

In our data, that's not the case.

On this question and on basically every other question,

Gen Z answered more socialistically, more authoritarian than the older millennials in the group.

Okay.

Question 13: Should Americans who refuse to use others' preferred gender pronouns face fines or legal penalties?

Yeah, 17% said yes.

They should have a monetary fine.

16% said yes.

They should have a mandatory community service.

6% said yes, jail time.

48% said no.

So if you add up all the yeses, it's about 40% said yes.

12% said not sure.

So less than half said no.

So that's 40% of people want to essentially abolish the First Amendment.

First Amendment, very clearly, would prohibit something like this from going into effect, but very disturbing, obviously.

So this is why you're seeing, you know, we've said, why are the Democrats just doubling down with AOC?

They're doubling down with these crazies, these socialists, Momdani, and everybody else.

That's not where America is.

No, I'm sorry, but the next generation of voters is there.

That is where they live.

14, question 14.

Would you support an amendment to the Constitution that would abolish the U.S.

Congress and replace it with a National Citizens Assembly selected by lottery?

Right.

If you add strongly support was 15%, somewhat support was 24%.

You add those two together.

It's about 40%, depending on how you round it.

And it was about 43%

if you add up the opposition.

So again, similar to the previous question, 40% want to fine you for saying the wrong gender

identity thing.

You have 40% here saying, yeah, let's abolish Congress and replace it with...

a national citizen lottery

assembly.

It's totally insane.

But it goes back to the same same theme we've talked about yesterday a lot.

What do they want to do?

This is a really good question for that.

What do young people want?

They want to blow the system up.

That's what they want.

They want to blow the system up.

They voted for a sledgehammer.

That's what you said yesterday.

That is 100% right.

And this is proof of that.

So let's just get rid of this whole Congress thing.

It's a joke.

And let's just literally randomly pick people off the street, throw them into a National Citizens Assembly, and they would be better.

number 15

would you support a proposal for a new constitutional amendment that would give the United Nations the authority to oversee the Supreme Court and the U.S.

Presidency to ensure that Americans' rights are being protected?

Yeah,

this is one of those questions that you throw in that I write into polls as a check to see just how far gone things are.

And this one totally blew me away.

27% said they would strongly support putting the UN in charge of the president and the Supreme Court.

32%.

27, hang on, hang on.

27%

strongly, 32

somewhat.

That's right.

That's 59%.

59% of young people in this country want the United Nations to be in charge of the president and the Supreme Court.

That's the end of America, obviously.

And if you look at Democrats, in particular, among the Democrats in the poll, it was 64%.

Even Independents were 56%, but Republicans were also 56%.

So even the Republicans

were in favor of this.

Only 14% somewhat oppose, 16% strongly oppose, 11%

not sure.

Now, remember, we started with the poll that said 11% thought that the United Nations should be the most powerful country.

But you have

now 60%

of those under 39 saying the United Nations should control the president and the Supreme Court to make sure that everything.

So you would be giving power.

They don't see the problem there.

This is, there's a couple of things that I pull from this poll, and I'd like to hear what you're pulling from it as well, Justin.

But

one,

our education system is almost treasonous.

It has done such a poor job.

No, stop saying that.

It has done an excellent job in training revolutionaries to overthrow our government.

It has done a fantastic mission accomplished style job in that goal.

Let's stop saying that this was just incompetence, that they weren't, they didn't know what they were doing.

They knew exactly what they were doing.

They knew exactly this is all by design, period.

And so

the Department of Education should be collapsed.

It should, Donald Trump needs to take a sledgehammer to that thing.

The teachers' unions need to be dismantled.

People who are actually,

actively trying to sow the seeds of revolution in our schools should go to jail for treason.

And I don't use that lightly.

I don't ever say people should go to jail for treason.

Well, it's charged with treason.

Treason

is the only crime in the Constitution that comes with a penalty and it's death.

I don't throw treason around, but this is treasonous.

What is happening to our youth in our schools is treasonous.

And they knew exactly what they're doing.

And look at the results.

Look at the results.

Now, there's some...

Some things that are clear that we can do to fix this quickly.

One, it's not hard to educate people on how bad the United Nations is.

But we need to do that.

We need to ring that bell day and night.

The United Nations is not the answer.

But more importantly, we need to look for answers because this tells me

exactly what Justin said.

They want to burn the system down.

They don't have any faith in this system.

at all.

And we are not going to appeal to them by saying, look at the Statue of Liberty.

Doesn't it make you want to cry every time you see it?

No, it doesn't.

It doesn't.

It means nothing to that generation.

Nothing.

All of these institutions mean nothing to them.

We cannot appeal to them by showing them the same crap, by showing them it's morning in America again.

They don't relate to that at all.

They don't relate to it.

This cannot be a Reagan revolution.

This is a entirely different cat that needs to be skinned here.

And

honestly, our best mind should be on this all the time, all the time.

And we are going to be working overtime.

I mean,

I've written a lot about this recently internally.

Justin, and I'd like to include you in on some of these things, but this was an eye-opening

survey because I had been told that Generation Z

is more conservative than even we are.

Where does that come from, Justin?

Because that doesn't appear to be true.

Right.

Yeah, that's a great question and very, very important for people to understand this.

I think the reason that people are coming to that conclusion is because when you pull on certain kinds of cultural issues, social issues, things about marriage, you know, and the family and some of those hot-button issues, there are a lot more younger people who are giving more conservative answers than in the past.

But I think that's because there's a group of young conservatives who are becoming more conservative relative to the young conservatives when I was in college.

So when I was in college,

the average young Republican was a Mitt Romney Republican.

Today, the average young Republican is a Charlie Kirk Republican.

It's not the same thing.

Okay, and that's and that's that's why I think you're seeing the polls show, oh, well, Gen Z is getting more conservative.

They're going to church more often.

Yes, a section of them.

But overall, they're not.

Overall,

the ones on the left are becoming more socialistic and they want to burn the whole system down.

And then there's all these peop Republicans in the middle who are also in that vein.

And I think we've been lulled into this false sense of things are getting better, more people in the middle are coming over to our side.

But I think they're coming over to our side for different reasons.

It's not because

they are committed to free markets and individual liberty necessarily.

Some of them are, but a lot of them are not.

A lot of them are there because the system is corrupt and they know it.

Justin, thank you so much.

I really appreciate it.

We'll have you on again.

I'd like to discuss this again later with you this week and really pick your brain on what it it means.

But thank you for today.

Justin Haskins, stoppingsocialism.com, editor-in-chief, good friend of the programming.

You can follow him on X at Justin T.

Haskins.

All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Pre-Born.

After Roe v.

Wade was overturned, over 100 abortion clinics closed their doors.

But that is good news, but here's the bad news.

It just changed.

And now it's just a package in the mail.

It's a pill handed out like candy.

It's over 60% of all abortions in America, and it's happening now behind closed doors in these girls' bathrooms, where the house they grew up in.

And there is no one, no one that is stepping in to bridge that gap unless we do.

Pre-born is on the front lines, loving moms, not condemning them, showing them their baby through an ultrasound, giving them a moment of clarity in a world that tells them, just get rid of it.

Please, please, will you join us in this fight?

As abortion continues to rise, Pre-Born is expanding their life-affirming care in the darkest corners of our nation to to help hurting women save more babies.

If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift of some sort?

It would save babies in a big way.

Tax-deductible donations, all of it.

But $15,000 would put a machine in a needy women's shelter, saving countless lives for years to come.

Anything, anything you can do is worth it.

Stu, your initial thoughts on this poll.

I think it's great news, Glenn.

We're going in the right direction.

Everything is fine.

Let's dance in the streets.

Let's dance in the streets.

That's shocking.

It's just amazing that people are falling for this.

I don't understand it.

I don't understand how you could look at the experience of the world over the past 50 years and decide that somehow socialism, the answer, and capitalism is the problem.

You're right.

They don't know.

They're not even looking at it.

They're not looking at that.

Nobody is looking at that.

We are so busy with cakes and circuses.

Goes back to a monologue I did yesterday on what I found while I was on vacation.

We are moving from circus to circus and nobody is paying attention and no one is teaching the truth.

No one is teaching true history in a way that is really accessible.

That's why the torch is coming to play in January.

More on that coming up.

This is Glenn Beck.

All right, the worst part about living with pain is,

you know, it's not necessarily the pain itself.

It's the things that you stop doing because of the pain.

You stop taking the stairs.

You stop golfing.

You skip the walk after dinner.

You leave the heavy lifting to somebody else.

That part I actually like.

You make excuses to the kids because you just can't get down on the floor anymore.

And slowly you become that person you never wanted to become.

You never thought you would be.

So, coming soon,

the the torch.

The torch is a new project of mine

and

something that I feel

compelled to do.

You know, I've been talking about things for the last couple of years and saying I feel like my calling, because I look at my job as more of a calling,

I feel like my calling is changing

and I didn't know what it was at first.

I still am a little fuzzy on it, but I'm pretty clear.

I just don't know how to do it yet, and I'm looking for your help.

We had a meeting last night where we were talking about how we can get you directly involved in helping me

and setting up one-on-one conversations with you on a regular basis, not just a one-way communication, but on a regular basis, being able to hear from you and help you and have you help steer a little bit.

Because this is a project we all need to work on,

because the old ideas are no longer I'm excited about them because I know they've not been tried for a long time but when you talk about capitalism that just falls on deaf ears because people think we have capitalism now we haven't had capitalism in over a hundred years okay

the word free market Those words, that's like wallpaper now, just background noise in a political speech, and nobody pays attention to it.

But what we are living under and have lived under is not the free market.

It's a cartel.

It really is.

The government has turned into a cartel with crony deals and lobbyists that are writing the rules and bailouts for the powerful.

You know,

people on the left will say the rich keep getting richer.

Well, yes.

And who are the rich?

Who are the rich?

Who are the rich?

Let's just start at the top.

How about the banks?

What do the banks do?

The banks have a cartel.

It's called the Federal Reserve.

Who controls the Federal Reserve?

Do you control the Federal Reserve?

That's the five biggest banks in the country.

The five biggest banks in the country.

We don't even know who they are.

What kind of system is that?

That is a progressive system put in by Woodrow Wilson and his cronies at the time to control you.

That's what all of this is about, controlling you.

Getting rich themselves and controlling you and they do it through these official sounding things like the federal reserve the federal reserve is not the free market and should be destroyed

We haven't had the free market for a very long time.

Who is bailing these corporations out?

It's the government.

Why is the government doing that?

Because the corporations are taking money and they're allowed to buy lobbyists so they can write...

Most of the laws are not written by any lawmaker.

They're written by lobbyists.

And then they're pushed through by the lobbyist into Congress all the way up to the president.

That's not a free system.

That is a system where you get screwed in the end.

Okay.

The government is, it's a machine that has been used by the powerful corporations and the powerful people like George Soros

to keep you down and to lift them up, up, protect them because they think they know better than you.

They're more important than you.

And

if you're 30 years old, this is all you've ever seen.

You've seen the rotten fruit of that tree for a very, very long time.

The crushing rent, the suffocating debt that you probably saw your parents go through while the banks were being bailed out.

The health care bills that you can't understand anymore.

I mean, how does that even work?

Not only can you not understand your health care bill, how are you going to pay your health care bill?

But here's the secret.

None of this is the free market.

None of it.

You've not seen the free market.

Not once.

What you've seen and witnessed here in America is a rigged game, and people are right to reject it.

You're right.

But that's not what the system was designed to do.

That is the bastardization of this.

It's taken them a hundred years to do it.

But that's what this system has been turned into.

Here's the twist.

If you let the real free market breathe,

it doesn't chain you down.

It lifts you up.

What if we, instead of burning the whole system down, what if we burn down the barricades?

the barricades of red tape and let builders actually build?

What if zoning laws and rent controls were cleared out like brushwood?

Suddenly, the housing market would be affordable again.

And if you don't believe me, look at what's happening in Argentina.

And not in theory, in practice, actually

doing these things and making things affordable again.

What if healthcare bills showed the price up front?

Okay, like a restaurant menu.

Doctors were competing to earn your business instead of serving the insurance insurance companies.

The insurance companies also have gone completely mad and corrupt.

And how did they do it?

Why did they do it?

They did it because it's the rules the government set up.

Because it was dirty.

If you think a bigger government is going to make things better, you're wrong.

The government is the problem.

What if student loans stopped being a government racket?

You know the price of education back in the 60s and 70s?

It wasn't the price of a house.

What happened?

That got out of control when the government started saying, you know what?

We're going to get into the business of loans.

We're going to give the loans.

Once those loans were guaranteed, the universities knew, well, we're in bed with the government now.

It'll never fail.

They'll never stop writing those loans, and we can charge whatever we want.

But what if the loans stopped being this government racket and education was tailored and affordable and actually useful?

Not this crap you're getting now.

You're being trained to be a revolutionary.

That's it.

They're not training you for any usable skill.

They are so far behind the curve on what is coming.

By the time you've racked up all this debt, you're sitting there under this mountain of debt.

You think you've played by the rules, and so you're feeling like, Hey, I'm getting screwed by everybody else.

You're not getting screwed by everybody else.

You were screwed by the universities in bed with the government and the teachers' unions.

That's who you've been screwed by.

Make no mistake.

And what are the teachers' unions, and the schools, and the government now trying to get you to do?

To be a revolutionary, to make the government even bigger and more powerful.

What if we made things actually work?

I mean, not just a slogan, but a real idea of cutting all of this.

Malay is doing it in Argentina right now.

He's stripping rent control, and it has caused the supply of houses to triple and prices to fall.

Why is nobody talking about that?

Why is that not

why is that not in anybody's best interest to talk about that?

Why is that not on the front page of everything?

That's an actual solution.

The houses, the market has tripled in size.

The availability of housing is triple what it was.

And the prices are lower.

Why aren't we looking at that?

Because it's not in anyone's interest except for yours.

And nobody's serving you.

And you are becoming a useful idiot by playing into this system.

By saying, yeah, we need more government regulation.

This is not about left or right.

It's not about the Democrats or the Republicans because all of that's garbage.

This is about finally, for the first time in your lifetime, in my lifetime, trying to do what America was actually built to do in the first place.

Freedom in the marketplace.

The free market is not an old idea, okay?

It's the newest idea that America hasn't dared tried in decades.

Why is everybody pushing failed systems that have failed over and over and over again?

And yet, we have the one system, the free market, the true free market that completely changed the entire world, fed more people, brought more people out of poverty,

changed the healthcare system entirely,

gave us energy

and fuel to be able to read at night, study at night, fly across the world, do all of these amazing things,

gave us the internet.

Why aren't we going back and saying, wait a minute, what was it that started that revolution?

Let's try that again, instead of going back to something that ended in 100 million people people being killed,

starved to death,

oppressed, people thrown in prison.

My gosh.

We're dragging anchors

through history.

Old language, old solutions, old slogans, Democrats, Republicans.

They argue over the size of government.

as if that debate hasn't become the dead weight that keeps this nation down in the first place.

Meanwhile, you, the young person in Dallas that's just starting a family, a single mom in Chicago, the contractor in Idaho, you're not debating theory.

This is real life for you.

You're drowning in the price of rent and groceries and gasoline.

You're watching your dream shrink and shrink and shrink while politicians just keep using recycled words that meant something maybe 40 years ago that don't mean anything anymore.

Don't burn the system down.

Cut the ropes that have been tying you down.

It's time to throw the dead weight overboard.

So what does that look like?

It looks like putting you, the consumer, not the government, not the corporation, back at the center.

Ever notice?

But recently, corporations really don't care about you.

They say they care about you in theory.

They care about people in blocks, but they they don't serve you.

Has your service at your local store or whatever gotten better or worse?

Do they care more about serving you?

That's the idea of the free market.

You want to know how to get rich?

You get rich by coming up with a way to serve people and make their life easier and better every day.

If I can help you understand the world in a better way so it makes so the world makes sense to you, I've given you something of value that you want.

That's how I make my money.

Because I work every day trying to figure out how can I make your life more manageable.

You have to do that.

That's what all entrepreneurs do.

How can I help people

ease their life,

provide them with something that makes their life better?

Instead, the other way to do it is how can I oppress people?

How can I make sure the government will guard everything I'm doing, even though I'm ripping people off, I'm destroying lives, but I'll get rich and the government will get rich?

No,

we need energy prices that fall because of competition, not subsidies.

The government not deciding winners, but you deciding the winner.

We need housing unlocked by the simple idea that builders should be allowed to build.

Wages that rise because the little guy is suddenly allowed to compete with the big guy, not beg the big guy for a job.

We have to stop defending capitalism because capitalism, as it has been, it's over.

It doesn't work.

We need to unleash freedom as it was meant to be.

Not the freedom of slogans, not the freedom of insider deals, but the real freedom of choice and risk and reward applied to everyone in everyday life all around the country.

Because honestly, history will tell us when countries fall into despair, they reach for control.

Every time, every time, and it's going to happen here.

The central plan, the state solution, the strong man.

But America was built on the opposite impulse to trust people more than the planners.

That was our radical idea.

That was the miracle.

Trust people over the planners.

The question is, I mean, that's the one idea we haven't tried in a very long time.

Can we make it new again?

And can we convince people to believe in themselves instead of the people who have brought us this misery?

Back in a minute.

Let me tell you about the Berna launcher.

Not every situation calls for a firearm.

And if you've ever been in that gray area where something felt off, maybe even dangerous, but you didn't feel justified pulling a gun, then you know exactly why the Burna Launcher exists.

It's a non-lethal self-defense device that operates like a firearm, but it fires pepper projectiles instead of bullets.

There's no permit required.

It's legal in all 50 states.

Look, the thing was invented by a guy who loves the Second Amendment, but he was in road rage.

Somebody was road raging, and he pulls his car over.

The guy in road rage pulls right behind him, gets out of the car.

He reaches for for his gun in the glove box and is like no i'm not willing to pull a gun and kill this guy that that'll just escalate things he said that was the biggest mistake of his life because he was beaten within an inch of his life by this guy who was road raging that's when he decided i want to i want something that i am feel comfortable pulling every single time and that's the burna launcher Do not put your innocent yourself in a situation where you have to choose getting beaten with an inch of your life or pulling a gun.

This is an amazing thing, and I don't know why everybody is not giving them to their students as they go to school.

The Burna launcher, it's legal in all 50 states, have to be 18, but it should be with your college student everywhere they go.

By the time most people hit 60, they've lost and regained hundreds of pounds, 10 pounds here, 15 there.

And every time it comes back, it brings a few extra with it.

The cycle has a name.

Doctors call it weight cycling, and it's not just frustrating.

It can be dangerous.

The long-term consequences are serious, you know, liver damage, diabetes,

increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Because when your body is constantly shifting weight, your organs never get a break.

They're constantly adapting and compensating and wearing down under the pressure.

This is why so many people struggle to lose weight and keep it off.

Now, lean was created by doctors who want to support long-term healthy weight loss.

It's a non-prescription oral supplement, not like an injectable drug that you might have heard of.

Targets weight loss and does it in three key ways.

It helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels, which play a major role in energy and fat storage and hunger regulation.

It helps reduce appetite and cravings, making it easier to stick to the plan.

And it helps convert fat into usable energy.

So you're not just losing water, weight, or muscle.

You're actually burning fat the right way.

If you want to lose meaningful weight and do it at a healthy pace and keep it off, add lean to your diet and exercise lifestyle.

Perhaps if we have time today, we should get into the comments of Brian Stelter,

who reacted to the brutal murder on a train in Charlotte by talking about racism.

And that's a legitimate thing to talk about when you're talking about this murder.

I mean, he said, I got the white girl.

However,

you'll be surprised to hear that his criticism was not about the actual murderer.

It was about somebody posting online that was racist.

We'll get into that.

And it's exactly what it sounds like.

They forge your name.

They transfer your home to themselves on paper.

They take out loans using your equity and then they disappear.

Hello, America.

I want to continue our conversation

based on last hour in the last couple of days, when we've been showing you the results of this really disturbing poll of anyone under 39,

how they view America and how they view socialism and our Constitution.

Some really disturbing things in that poll and shows that radical change needs to happen at our level

as well because we are not teaching anything.

to our kids.

They do not understand America.

And, you know, we keep showing them a picture of a flag and, you know, and a soldier and saying, see, this is what America is.

And they don't understand it and they don't relate to it.

And we have to find a way to relate and anchor ourselves in our own lives.

And I'm going to use a dirty word.

Well, not yet, but give me 60 seconds and then I'll share a word that you just

isn't even legal to say anymore.

First, my Patriot Supply.

Most important purchase you'll ever make might be the one you least suspect.

A giant box of emergency food or water filtration or survival tools that you hoped you'd never ever need and didn't think you ever would.

But here's the thing.

If you do ever need it, you'll be grateful beyond words that you had the foresight to order from MyPatriot Supply.

They make it easy to be prepared without feeling crazy.

Whether you're worried about, you know, natural disasters or grid failures, economic collapse, or just being ready for the unexpected, something is going to happen in your lifetime, and it is good to have, just be a step ahead while everybody else is scrambling.

Right now, during a National Preparedness Month, they're offering a massive discount on their Preparedness Month mega kit.

It includes a full year's worth of food, water for purification systems, a solar power unit, 90 essential items that could mean the difference between security and panic.

And it's not, you know, it's not glamorous, it's wisdom.

It's my Patriot Supply, because if you wait until it's obvious, it's probably already too late.

Here's the best part.

If you go to mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn, you get 90 preparedness essentials totaling over $1,500 absolutely free.

Head to mypatriotsupply.com for full details on that.

It's mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn.

Okay, I got to say a word that is going to, oh, just make your blood run cold

because you'll think of, oh my gosh, that was a high school class I slept through.

I had to memorize a bunch of stuff and I promptly forgot I never thought of that word again.

Civics.

Civics.

I mean, that brings to mind like a diagram of the three branches of government, you know, stuff that you had to take to graduate and you're like, oh, God.

And you didn't see you because it was a subject that didn't, wasn't connected to anything.

And yet it was the most important subject.

Should have been taught all the way through, not in just some high school class.

And it's, it's not

a subject as much as it is a responsibility.

It is a set of habits and disciplines and values that make a country possible.

Without it, no country can survive.

I want you to think of civics in this way.

Every time you speak freely,

every time you worship openly,

Every time you question your government.

Every time you serve on a jury or cast a ballot, that's civics.

That's what it is.

It's not theory.

It's not some textbook.

It's not history.

It is action.

It is the action and the acts that we make every day

to be a positive force in our society.

And nobody likes the idea of having any responsibilities.

I do my responsibility.

I do my

civic responsibility.

I pay my taxes.

That's not civics.

That's a scam, in my opinion.

The founders, when they put this together, they knew it could never run on autopilot.

And I just want you to think about how much of our lives in this country run on autopilot right now.

We just assume that it's going to work.

And now we're surprised that it's not working.

Well, of course not, because

nobody was steering.

The people who are steering are steering steering it right into the side of a mountain, and they know it.

Our founders gave us tools and separation of powers and checks and balances and federalism and elections, but they also gave us a warning that this won't work unless you're educated, engaged, and moral.

Out of those three.

Educated, engaged, and moral.

Have we really accomplished any of those three?

Would you say the United States of America, the citizenry, is educated?

Nope.

Engaged?

Not at all.

Moral?

Please.

Benjamin Franklin was asked after the Constitutional Convention,

what have we got?

What did you give us?

A monarchy or a republic?

And he said, a republic, if you can keep it.

People don't even know what a republic is anymore.

They have no idea.

What he said was prophetic.

Keeping it, getting it is the easier part.

I mean, remember, we fought, we fought and died to have a republic.

That was the easy part.

Keeping it is the hard part.

And so how do you keep it?

You keep it through something we call...

Sorry, I put myself to sleep.

Civics.

In your family, we have to teach our children that liberty is not a license to do whatever you want.

It is the space to do what is right.

That's a huge difference.

In our community, it means we volunteer, we show up.

We know our school board, we know our sheriff.

We don't complain about laws, we understand them, and when necessary, we challenge them.

How much how really honestly how involved are you in your local community

most of us most of us would be like

not really

in our own life it means read the constitution not summaries not somebody else's opinion

the real thing read it Wrestle with it.

Ask what it demands of you.

It's the same thing.

I mean, if you're a religious person, if you're not reading the scriptures, you're just taking somebody else's opinion.

If you're not wrestling with your faith all the time, I talked to somebody the other day.

They're like, I don't know what I believe.

And I'm like, good,

good.

Well, wait.

Are you wrestling with that?

Are you searching for it?

You're just like, I don't know what I believe.

Because one of those is dangerous.

One of those is really good.

Civics is something that is not learned in theory, it is learned in practice.

And if you want to know how to live civics,

I want you to start small.

This is something, this is kind of a new kick of mine.

Think small.

Everybody's thinking big.

Think small, think very small.

Dream big, but think small.

You want to live civics?

Be honest in all of your business dealings.

You want to save the country, speak respectfully in disagreement.

You want to save the Republic, vote in every election, not just the presidential ones.

You want to save your country, model citizenship in a way your children can imitate, that your kids will always remember.

Because the truth is, we have been thinking that we can pass America down in our bloodline, and it doesn't happen that way.

We pass it down through teaching it, but not just saying the words, but actually living it.

Because every generation has to be taught and shown how to carry the heavy weight of liberty.

Nobody even knows what that word means anymore.

That word is like a cartoon word.

It's,

I mean, it's as real as a safe falling on somebody's head as they're walking down the street, you know, one of those acme safes.

One of the goals that I I have for myself in the coming year is:

I don't want to do another commentary on the news of the day.

I don't want to do another rant on what happened in Washington.

I instead want to be part of a movement of self-empowerment.

I want to help equip you,

one person,

one family, one classroom, one church, one neighborhood at a time with the tools that we need to save the republic.

We have spent so much time looking for a politician to save us, and

they're not coming.

They can slow things down, but they're not going to save us.

Nobody's going to have all of the answers for us.

Only we have the answers.

I mean,

how can we actually believe that the country is built on the individual and then look for one individual to make all of it right for all of us?

The next election's not going to fix us.

The nation will stand or fall based on how we, each of us, live civics out every single day.

God are going to come up with another word for civics because that just sounds, oh my gosh.

I mean, I'm tuning out.

Civics.

Move on.

I believe if we

turn to to

just the discipline of the small stuff, if we live what we say we believe, how many of the things, do this experiment.

How many things do you believe that you actually live?

Start with your faith.

Do you actually live the faith that you preach?

How much of it are you missing?

How much of it are you leaving on the sidelines and going, yeah, I'll get to that.

Scripture study for me is the hardest thing.

I didn't grow up in a family with scripture study.

We never did it.

And it is the hardest thing for me.

I have made a goal that I'm going to end my day every day with scripture study.

My secondary goal is to start my day with scripture study, too.

But every day I go to bed and I listen to my scriptures.

Little baby step.

Little baby step.

We just have to have like a,

I don't know.

Do we need a code of conduct?

Is that what we need?

Are we at that point to where we...

I mean, I am.

I need a list of things I have to do every day.

I just.

I would like to...

This is one of the goals of the torch, to help you be a little better every day, to give you the tool, whatever it is

in your life that empowers you to learn something new every day, to get just a little better.

I can dream big.

I can dream huge, huge dreams.

I have no problem.

Stu just went to

the sphere in Vegas and I was there.

And he said to me this morning, I sat in the sphere and I thought, Good lord, what could Glenn do with this place?

Because I can dream big.

I am not good at the little stuff.

I'm really bad at the little stuff.

And I think that's part of my problem that I deal with:

I'm not good at the small stuff.

And it's the small stuff that matters.

Dream big.

Think small.

Here's a little stuff.

Study the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and your state laws.

Rights are not inherited and not taught through osmosis.

They're understood and defended.

And if they're not understood, they cannot be defended.

And every right comes with a duty to obey the law, to respect other people's freedoms, and to carry the weight of liberty.

Here's a little thing.

Vote in every single election, not just the presidential ones, school boards, city council, state legislature.

These are the places that your daily life is shaped.

We don't pay attention to our towns, and our towns are shaping our daily lives.

And if you don't show up, somebody else is showing up and making that decision for your life.

Here's a little thing:

be informed, not inflamed.

We

live off the headlines.

We live off of what we just saw on X, what we just saw on Instagram, what just hit our Facebook feed.

That's the worst way to live our life.

You know?

Read deeply.

Read deeply.

A responsible citizen will seek truth before an opinion.

We're seeking an opinion at the same time or before we get truth.

I just told my son this last night and we were on the phone.

And he said, Dad, I'm struggling with such and such.

And I said, I get it.

I said, but it's a distraction, son.

Choose your thoughts.

Choose your thoughts.

I'm not sure that I even understood that when my dad told that to me many, many, many, many, many years ago.

Because thoughts happen all the time.

We're constantly thinking.

We're having all kinds of thoughts.

And most of them, have you noticed, are bad thoughts about ourselves.

Oh, I screwed that up.

Oh, I shouldn't have done that.

Oh, I should have done this.

Oh, you're just this or that.

Or if people only knew,

whatever your thoughts are, I'm never going to make it.

I'm so tired.

Choose your thoughts.

Let me explain a little deeper here in just a second.

First, let me tell you about blinds.com.

10 seconds and back to the show.

Part of civics is to get control of ourselves.

It's not just control of the country.

It's control of ourselves.

We have such responsibility.

And

we fail on so many things.

And I'm speaking about me, not you.

I think more bad thoughts about myself than I think I do good thoughts on a regular basis.

I think about my failures more than I think about my success.

I think about the things I should have done or should not have done more than the things I did do that were right.

And that leads to misery.

I look at myself in the mirror and I'm like, oh, you fat old man.

I think of that every day.

Why?

Why?

That doesn't lead to anything good.

Look at what we fill our head with just on the internet.

Look at what we fill our head with online and shows we watch and everything else.

We're just poison all the time.

Poison, poison, poison, poison.

Thoughts are creative.

Thoughts build.

Thoughts build who you are.

Why do I look at myself instead of saying good things about myself?

Wow, you still have more hair than most people your age.

All I can see is, oh my gosh all my hair is falling out

how come we choose because you're going to create that thought is going to create something

why not choose the thought that is going to empower us instead of dismantle us

we're not guardians on our own thoughts at all

You know, when you get up in the morning, what's the first thing you do?

What is the very first thing you do?

for me i go immediately to my email and i check my show prep i get it at about two o'clock in the morning and so sometimes if i'm up at two or three i go through it then but if not i wake up at four o'clock and i first thing i do

what a bad habit that is i haven't even given myself a chance to think a thought on myself

i haven't thought i haven't thought of anything I'm letting the world now dictate my first thought.

Whatever is on that screen, that's what I'm thinking about.

That's not healthy.

That's not good.

I'm trying to get to a place to where I can think of, before I do anything, think of three things you know are absolutely true about God.

Three things you know are true about God.

Start your day just with that,

because then everything that happens afterwards, you're like, yeah, but I know God God is in charge.

So, I mean,

choose your thoughts.

Change your life.

More in a minute.

This is Glenn Beck.

Imagine a world where we didn't need firemen running into burning buildings, police walking into chaos, or soldiers to stand between us and war.

Imagine a world where everybody made it home at night.

Sadly, that's not the world we live in, and nor will it ever be the world we live in.

We live in a world where tragedy doesn't wait

for us to back up.

It calls and comes in the middle of the night, where moms and dads in uniform go to work without knowing they're going to come back, and sometimes they don't.

And when that happens, that's when we can do something.

Tunnel to Tower is not just a flag with a folding chair at a memorial,

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We're glad you're here.

Talking about controlling our own thoughts

and being in charge of your own life.

You know, we have 80,000 thoughts a day.

80, the average person, 80,000 different thoughts.

How many of those are negative?

How many of them are holding us back from what we could be or what we could do?

I was just, I'm fascinated by this podcast, the telepathy tapes.

I brought it up before.

Oh, I know.

Have you seen it?

Are you on episode two yet?

Have they released episode two?

Season two?

Season two.

I don't think so.

Maybe that, maybe she has, but I think I'm through like maybe six episodes.

Oh, it's fantastic.

And it just keeps on getting more and more and more mind-blowing.

But there was the last two or three.

Wait, wait, wait.

Before, explain the telepathy tapes.

The telepathy tapes is this one woman that was like,

you know, she heard like a rumor about some autistic kid that was nonverbal, had to use like a keyboard to speak, basically.

And that this person could hear their mother's thoughts.

And she's like, okay, whatever.

She's very science, had a very science mind.

So she goes and checks it out.

And she does a little test with another doctor.

And oh my gosh, this kid can totally hear his mother's thoughts.

Like crazy.

And crazy.

And they're like, oh, it's a one-off.

So every single episode, they go further and further and further.

That's just the start.

Some of these kids, they go to like this place called the hill.

And they're all, when I say they, all Autistic Kids all over the world, this metaphorical hill where they can converse with one another through telepathy.

You just got to listen to it.

It's insane.

It's so cool.

And I actually, I believe it.

I'm convinced at this point.

I'm convinced.

I'm not sure I know what it is, but I don't think it's a fraud.

I think it's real.

So

they go into, and a lot, and like at least the last three episodes that I was listening to about how some of these autistic children were trying to explain the power of thoughts.

And sometimes they can hear multiple people's thoughts.

Sometimes it's only like their parent, you know, their parents, people they're closest to, but they talk about how the way people think will open them up to how, you know, how receptive people will be to this, like, you know, another step in consciousness.

And then like if they're too negative,

if they're turned off.

And I, I mean, I'm feeling myself like, I'm like, wow, I actually change the way I look at certain things just off of hearing this or how I think about myself.

How many times do we say, I suck.

I'll never be able to do that.

Well, yeah, if you say that in your mind,

you're never going to be able to.

And it is even things like thoughts like, I want to be rich,

because your thought is, I want,

not rich,

because the thoughts are all creative and

action-based.

So it creates want, not riches.

I wish I'd have heard this when I was 19.

I did, and it didn't work out for me for a long time.

But I believe in, I just, I so believe in the power of thought.

And

think about, you know, you just said, think about how many negative things I think of all the time.

You're in a pretty positive atmosphere.

Imagine being in a family that is constantly telling you you're no good and then going to school and hearing you're no good.

Going to college or wanting to start a job and hearing a politician saying you'll never make it.

I mean, we are a society that are that we are creating our own experience with our collective thoughts.

Saying to a child, what's wrong with you?

Yeah.

Imagine what races through their head once they hear a parent or an adult say that to them.

Oh my gosh, how many things are wrong with me?

And they just go through them.

It's bad.

It's bad.

Of course, I notice Stu is not thinking anything right now.

I want to think, Glenn, but I'm not a thinker.

Just creating more wants.

I'm thinking.

Yeah, no, I've heard that before, too, that like where

if you want to be a person who gets into better shape, you shouldn't say,

you know,

I want to run.

You know, I want to be a runner.

You have to say, I am a runner.

Right.

Like, you have to convince yourself of a change of your actual, I mean, we use the word identity in so many weird cases right now where you're kind of identifying as a boy or a girl and all that nonsense.

But like, if you can mentally come to the place where you identify yourself as someone who is doing something, who is, it's part of your persona that you are a runner, right?

Like, I'm a guy who just loves to run.

That's who I am.

That's not who I am.

But if you were wanted to be that person, that's what you'd say, rather than like, I got to get myself running.

I really want to get better at getting out there every day.

It's more about just skipping that step, right?

And just becoming what you want to be.

And it's hard to do, but I do think it's actually much more effective, especially for long-term changes.

And that's habits and, you know, who you want to be as a man or a woman or whatever.

All those things, I think, work the same way.

Think about just the power of the confusion of,

you know, you can decide you're male or female.

Maybe you decide you're neither.

Maybe you decide you're a cat or a dog or whatever.

Think of the amount of confusion that has been introduced into our children's lives.

I mean, there is nothing real in the world anymore.

And part of that, you know, we look at that and go, well, that's AI.

That's, you know, you can't really trust your eyes.

What's real, what's not.

What's real in life?

What is actually real in life?

You know, it's all about labels.

It's all about stuff.

And even that is,

you know, when it comes to you as a person, you can decide you're anything, which isn't reality.

It's just,

you know,

if you're not thinking eternal truths, you're just entering,

you're just putting chaos into your own life.

And that is what our society is pushing right now.

By the way, can I just switch subject here for a second?

I just, I found this story really, really, really cool.

Oliver North and Fawn Hall.

Do you remember who they are?

Oh, Fawn Hall.

Oh, I was in love with Fawn Hall.

During the 80s, she was a hot sauce.

Oh, man.

Everybody was in love with Fawn Hall.

So

Fawn Hall was Oliver North's secretary during the Iran-Contra affair.

And they got up and they did the hard thing.

They actually told the truth.

They didn't try to, you know,

carve out any special anything for themselves.

They got up and said, yeah, we did this.

And she said, and I smuggled papers out of the White House and I put them in my boots and I put them in my, you know, the back of my pants or whatever.

And I smuggled them all out.

And they told the truth.

And they both, I think, were sentenced to jail.

I think it was overturned.

The sentence was overturned.

But they were both sentenced to jail.

And

it was a moment of,

I don't know,

some people hated it, but I found Oliver North to be really, really trustworthy at the time, and Fawn Hall to be really credible.

And she was also really hot.

And

I just found out that, you know, he's 81 now.

She's 65.

Oliver North just lost his wife, I think about a year and a half ago.

or something.

And he had been married to his wife for 56 years.

Fawn Hall shows up at the funeral, and they start talking.

And now a year and a half later, they've been married, which I just think, I just, I don't know, I just find that a really happy ending to that story.

Is it just me?

Nah, I mean,

that was such a crazy time, at least for me, in thinking about like, that was one of the first times that entire scandal was when I started thinking about what is the government doing, you know, behind our backs when they're saying they're not doing something or, you know, all the different things are going on, the chessboard is moving around.

I mean, it was just it was just a wild thing.

But I mean, the Oliver North and Fawn Hall thing, Fawn Hall specifically, I remember seeing like, you know, like headlines from, you know, whatever was the equivalent of like, maybe it was like on the Inquirer, where she'd be like at parties with Rob Lowe.

You know, like stuff like that.

Like there was pictures of her, I think, with Rob Lowe and other celebrities.

I mean, she transcended.

Nowadays, think about someone from a, you know, from the administration of the, you know, the Trump administration or something like that.

No way Hollywood would embrace somebody from the Trump administration.

I don't care what they would say.

I think Rob Lowe, though, isn't Rob Lowe.

Kind of a conservative.

Yeah.

Is he?

Is he?

I think he's a conservative.

Yeah, I think he's a conservative.

Yeah, or at least, you know, at least doesn't hate conservatives, which makes you a conservative in Hollywood.

I mean, I've always had the impression he'd sleep with anybody.

I don't care who you voted for.

I will sleep with you.

I'm reading the story about this marriage, though.

First of all, it was interesting to hear your recollection of that, them being trustworthy characters in that moment.

At least that was certainly not how the media presented it.

But like, well, no,

the New York Post says Donald Trump is also a rapist.

No, right, exactly.

So I was trying to remember exactly what happened.

The New York Post recounts it this way.

Fawn Hall told investigators that in 1986, when North was fired over the scandal, she smuggled Iran-Contra documents that had not been shredded or altered out of the old executive building, hiding them in her boots and inside the back of her skirt.

That doesn't seem very trustworthy at all, honestly.

And I will say, you said happy ending.

I don't mean to ruin this, but I don't know.

At the end, it says it was described as low-key in the marriage, and none of North's four children attended.

Like, was this even something, like, was this something the family hated?

Like, I mean, that doesn't sound like a, like a positive, uh, I don't know.

I don't know.

It kind of sounds, kind of sounds bad at the end of this.

I mean, did you have to wreck that?

He's hating on our love story.

I know.

I was in on it.

I mean, usually when the guy marries his secretary, we're not like, what a wonderful Hollywood ending.

No, no, no.

But I didn't think anything was going on between them at the time.

And Oliver North, you know, Oliver North had been married for 56 years, had a great marriage, and, you know, and fine.

And now, you know, he's 81.

He, you know, gets the hot squeeze, you know, which

it's a very weird way to look at this story.

I think your perspective is very strange today.

I'm just trying to hold on to something, Stu.

Just anything.

All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

If your dog came with a user manual,

it wouldn't say feed me twice a day and hope for the best.

It would say, feed these things.

These are the things that are really essential, the things that they're missing, the things that will make

their coat dull or their eyes cloudy or their energy drop.

Your dog doesn't come with a user manual.

It comes with a wagging tail.

It says, I trust you.

I trust you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

Rough greens fills in the gaps that your dog can't tell you about.

It's not a replacement for dog food.

It's what your dog food is missing.

It's a powdered supplement packed with vitamins and minerals and digestive enzymes, probiotics, and natural nutrients that help your dog thrive, not just survive.

Better digestion, stronger immune system, more energy, healthier joints, a shinier coat, a happier dog.

You'll have to wonder, how did you miss this all these years?

They're going to send you a free trial bag.

See, you'll see the difference in your dog yourself.

You really will.

I did with Uno almost immediately.

Your dog may not have a user manual, but if you've got rough greens, you got the Jumpstart.

To think that Ollie North is 81,

I mean,

it gets weird.

When you start to get up around 60, things start to get weird.

The wheels start to come off.

You're like, oh, hang on.

Everybody I've always looked up to or I've always known and who I kind of know, they're all really old right now.

What is happening?

It's really, it's bizarre.

It's bizarre.

And now he's achieved that wonderful fairy tale of marrying a secretary.

Well, that's the way that we all go back through life and say, gosh, if everything...

No, wait a minute.

No, I mean, he's married.

Well, I should say a secretary that stole documents from the U.S.

government to hide potential crimes.

What a wonderful story that we've all

in her underpants.

In her underpants.

It makes it even better.

There you go.

It's an even better story.

Sandy Berger hides stuff in his underpants, and I don't want to know about it.

That wasn't sexy at all.

Not sexy.

This is much better.

I will say he's 81, so

potential Senate run, which he should start.

This is the time to start his career in politics.

He's in prime age.

He's two years older than the president.

Two years older.

Which is fascinating.

It just gives you a different highlight of how much energy Trump has.

Right?

Well, I mean, I give Ollie Norris some credit, he just married Fawn Hall.

That's true, maybe he gets more energy than I thought.

Right.

But I mean, I just saw a video put out by the White House about

how, you know, energetic this guy is.

And it showed him walking down the hallways and doing all kinds of stuff.

And, you know, he's juggling so many things.

And we never saw Joe Biden at all.

I think

Donald Trump may be the most amazing 79-year-old guy

that has ever served in office.

Have you ever seen anybody like him at 79 years old serve in the United States government?

Not that I can think of.

I mean, he's been, he really does have seemingly unending energy for, you know, you think about how taxing a scandal is, Glenn.

You've been through your share of them over the years, you know, with the media and such.

I mean, those are taxing moments, especially the first as you get into him.

Maybe Trump is just so he's immune to iocaine powder at this point.

Like maybe he just did just, absolutely nothing bothers him, but he just, these things usually are taxing on a person.

He just seems to jump into a new one whenever he wants.

But look at, you, you look at the presidents and you can see how they age over eight years.

Okay.

It's been 12 since he came into this, into this world.

It's been 12 years.

And he doesn't look any older.

Does he?

No.

I mean, I don't see him.

I don't see him aging.

Every president I have ever seen ages in front of you.

This guy is like Dorian Gray.

It's just that nothing's happening.

Yeah, there's nothing.

Nothing's happening.

He's going to live forever.

Interesting little tidbit in our prep today, by the way, free email newsletter at Glembeck.com has all these stories, but one of them is that Trump has started seeding J.D.

Vance's

super PAC,

which is interesting because, you know, there's always been, he's joked about it.

He's talked about, maybe I'll run for a third term, which, you know, of course is not allowed.

But beyond that, you know, it's interesting because,

you know, certainly he also had a previous vice president he was not so enamored with to, you know, perhaps pave his political future.

Where JD Vance, it seems like

they're at least at this point, still aligned and it's still going in that direction.

I stand by what he said when he picked him the first time.

He has just picked his successor.

He is, he knows he's in for four years.

He's picked somebody who can run another eight.

This is Glenn Beck.
