00:00:20.720There's no scary music building up to it, so you don't have a soundtrack in your life, you don't get a warning, you don't get a second to think through all of your options.
00:00:27.980That moment, whatever you have with you is what you have with you.
00:05:36.060giving giving while they were allegedly paying the very monsters they said they were fighting
00:05:40.980now it seems as though the press is uh is running to protect these hacks um you know they're they're
00:05:50.820doing everything they can to downplay the indictment um and why well i don't need to explain
00:05:58.760why you know why but what is it that they are what is it that they're saying well one of my
00:06:03.480favorites let me give you this one uh kind of a smarty pants reaction uh to something i said
00:06:09.940yesterday and this is the general attempt to downplay what is what was exposed uh this is
00:06:17.140from mike young the indictment alleges donor disclosure for fraud that the spLC didn't tell
00:06:23.280the contributors their money-funded informants inside extremist groups that's what the 11 counts
00:06:28.280describe beck reads it as proof that the right-wing extremist movements were manufactured
00:06:33.040the indictment doesn't say that paying informants inside the kkk does not make the kkk fictional i
00:06:38.620never said that i never said the kkk was fictional i never said neo-nazis don't exist i said the money
00:06:46.300that they were paying was amplifying it making it bigger the organization exists absolutely the
00:06:52.700violence was real yep um let's see beck appears on the spLC list 157 times that's legitimate
00:07:00.900grievance about overbroad listing, you think? It's not evidence that white supremacist violence
00:07:06.300is a color revolution operation. I didn't say that either. Look, this exists. Hatred exists.
00:07:15.240Racism exists. Nazis exist. Radicals exist. Anarchists exist. People who want to kill you.
00:07:21.600People who just want to watch the world burn for some unknown reason. All of that exists.
00:07:26.340The question here on the SPLC is, were they aiding and abetting that so they could grow and do the bidding of their Marxist or their leftist progressive leaders?
00:07:42.080Were they part of a system to tear America apart?
00:37:13.260You know, they pull out a wet handful of leaves and twigs and sludge and then maybe something that used to be the tennis ball that somehow or another got in the gutter.
00:37:25.160Leaf Filter is a professionally installed gutter protection system that keeps leaves and pine needles and debris out of the way and lets the water flow the way it's supposed to.

00:38:12.960your feed's full of noise your town's full of folks who'd help you move a fridge
00:40:19.300Yeah, I mean, I was not expecting that.
00:40:21.480I was expecting some people to, you know, shovel some dirt and someone from the city council or chamber of commerce to say, yep, you know, congratulations, welcome to the city.
00:41:00.960I left there yesterday and was like, we should have recorded that for the insiders, but apparently Mercury One is smarter than we are, and they did.
00:41:08.800And so you'll be able to see that if you're not an insider, join the club, get all the behind the scenes, join the family.
00:41:15.660You just join us at glenbeck.com slash torch, glenbeck.com slash torch, and help us build these things.
00:41:22.320I mean, this phase of my life, and this is what The Torch is really about, and we're still working on it, and it's going to be a while before it really gets there, but the museum is really part of the mission, in a way, of education, trying to make it so your kids can understand history and be taught history in a completely different way.
00:41:44.780Um, and we are hiring all kinds of people to, uh, start on our education, uh, programs
00:53:42.420Back then, home adjusted for inflation ran about $100 per square foot.
00:53:48.520Today, the same home, you're looking at $200, $250, maybe at the priciest places around $300 per square foot.
00:53:56.420So when you strip away the size inflation from $2,000 to $950,000 and you compare apples to apples, the home is still about two times more expensive.
00:54:08.620So you're talking about from $95,000, you're talking about $200,000.
00:54:12.660So you've doubled the price, bare minimum.
00:54:16.360If you're living close to a city, it might be three times.
00:54:19.600same square footage in 1950 dollars top end 950 square feet selling for
00:54:25.560five to seven thousand if you look in 1950s numbers that's ten to fourteen thousand so it's
00:54:31.780double now we're told a story to try to explain this it's inflation but it's not
00:54:43.740it's not inflation because if it was all inflation in 1950 dollars it would be it would be uh seven
00:54:53.380thousand dollars but it's not if we we look at that and we say it's 14 it's 10 to 14 thousand
00:54:59.420dollars that's the inflation okay so what else is costing us this money what else is costing
00:55:08.120this today's dollar should have been 7 000 but it's not it's 14 what is causing the double price
00:55:17.240here's another lie well the homes are better when it's not exactly a lie it's kind of true
00:55:23.740we have central air we have advanced electrical systems we have insulation appliances smart tech
00:55:30.100things that didn't even exist in 1950 you walk into a 1950s house and you're like this is a total
00:55:35.280teardown okay even if it was taken care of perfectly you don't want to live in that house
00:55:39.920okay but that doesn't explain the two or three or four hundred percent increase dishwasher didn't
00:55:46.780triple the price of a home so what did well the answer is not in the house the answer is what's
00:55:53.240under your feet land and if you're a farmer you know this because you can't afford to buy land
00:56:01.840land has become the most expensive part of the american home now why is that did we run out of
00:56:10.820land you drive 30 minutes outside of almost any major city um in any county and you're going to
00:56:20.480see it it's all still sitting there wide open space waiting so why is land so expensive
00:56:27.520because our government made it that way you didn't i didn't but the government local state
00:56:35.980and federal government they all made it that way zoning laws permits restrictions endless layers
00:56:42.440of epa approval we didn't run out of land we restricted the access to the land and then
00:56:49.340something else happened we stopped building not completely but compared to what we used to do
00:56:56.160it's not even close. We also have immigration. Now that brings in a sudden overwhelming demand
00:57:03.940for homes. Millions of people need a home. So the question is on that one, have we ever been
00:57:11.160there before? Huge sudden demand for homes, shortage of homes. Yeah. Been in exactly the
00:57:18.140same position after World War II. Millions of soldiers came home and they wanted to start a
00:57:24.200family and they wanted their own home. So there was this massive housing shortage, far, far worse
00:57:30.100in many ways than what we're facing today. Demand exploded overnight. So what happened there?
00:57:39.780Because I don't remember almost going into revolution in the 1940s, late 1940s and late
00:57:45.180in early 1950s because there were home shortages. In fact, I don't really remember reading much
00:57:51.380about the home shortages, except for right after the war.
00:58:07.980We did something different back in the 1950s.
00:58:11.420I'm going to pick it up there here in just a second.
00:58:13.060First, let me tell you about pre-born.
00:58:14.180A lot of problems in this country that people love to discuss from a distance.
00:58:18.800You know, panels talk about them, politicians fundraise off them, strangers argue about them online, but very few people come close enough to actually help the person standing in the middle of the problem.
00:58:28.420And that is what I really respect about pre-born.
00:58:31.540They don't just talk about women facing unplanned pregnancies, they show up with real support.
00:58:36.140Through their network of pregnancy clinics, they provide healthcare, they provide resources, free ultrasounds to women who may feel alone, scared, or unsure of what to do next.
00:58:51.500And every single day, every single day, they provide that.
00:58:54.120This April, Preborn's goal is to have 11,000 gospel conversations in Preborn network clinics, trusting God to bring the increase as they remain faithful to speak.
00:59:04.220And that gospel truth makes a difference in these women's lives.
00:59:08.480You can make this possible by sponsoring ultrasounds.1.00
00:59:33.660so all the GIs come home and what did we do what did we do we built we built entire communities
00:59:53.940almost overnight I don't know if you ever heard of Levittown but Levittown is a great example
01:00:01.220Homes were built like cars on an assembly line. Homes were built in days, not months. Days. Can you imagine? I'm building something now in Florida. I'm building a new building in Florida. I'm hoping that I can have just the permitting done by this summer. And that's Florida, one that is not a problem.
01:00:25.600the gi bill made the financing available millions of veterans they served their country they came
01:00:33.280back the interstate highway system opened up the land that had never been reachable before
01:00:37.560and perhaps most importantly the government got out of the way the government made it easy to
01:00:44.300build so what happened prices rose at first because everybody needed a home and then they
01:00:51.000stabilized because supply caught up with demand that's how markets are supposed to work now fast
01:00:57.400forward to today we have a shortage again but this time are we unleashing builders no we're
01:01:03.820restraining them are we expanding supply no we're constraining it instead of saying yes like boot
01:01:12.000like uh donald trump just did with the oil drill baby drill build baby build instead of that we
01:01:20.120say, not here, not here, not here. And then we act surprised when prices skyrocket.
01:01:28.200This is why the most important number is not the price of a home. It is the ratio between
01:01:33.380home price and income. In 1960, the average cost was two times the average annual income. Today,
01:01:40.300it's over five times. That's the difference between opportunity and exclusion. That's the
01:01:47.500difference between a young family starting a life and one stuck renting indefinitely.
01:01:53.740So when your kids ask, you know, how did your parents do it? How do you do it? The honest answer
01:02:01.900is this. We lived in a country that believed in building, a country that saw the problem and
01:02:10.160solved it with action, not obstruction. We were actually trying to make people's lives better
01:02:16.640because we cared about the individual person, not the planet over people.
01:02:24.240We cared for the planet, but we also cared for people.
01:02:29.820You know, the country believed that growth was good, expansion was good,
01:02:33.480opportunity was something that you created, not something that you rationed.
01:02:37.280And somewhere along the way, that whole mindset of America changed.
01:02:42.600we didn't lose the land we didn't lose the resources we've lost the will
01:02:48.740and until that changes this doesn't get fixed
01:02:53.640the american dream is not dead we've just been lied about what it actually is
01:03:03.020some of us are being lied to because they say there's no way out we're never going to be able
01:03:09.820to do it. You're lying because we're Americans. We solve problems. We build. That's who we are.
01:03:17.240We're builders. That's the difference between America and the rest of the world. We build.0.56
01:03:25.560We invent our way out of these problems, but that's not what's happening. And then the other
01:03:30.460half of the problem is the lie that just keeps continuing that you're not going to be able to
01:03:36.720live the american dream well what is the american dream because if you want to live the way your
01:03:42.320parents did it's not in a 2500 square foot house that's new and that's not even what people are
01:03:50.600even really hoping for they want to live in a 5 000 square foot house or a 10 000 square foot house
01:03:58.500the american dream was never about a mansion
01:04:02.260and so anybody who is watching life on on on uh you know facebook or on tiktok or an instagram
01:04:13.820that's not real life that's not the american dream is about freedom and opportunity and hard
01:04:20.600work and faith and building a life with the people that you love not in a not in a homeless shelter
01:04:27.180but not necessarily in a home that is built just to impress.
01:04:33.620Let's remember what it means to actually be happy.
01:04:38.400Don't confuse social media with reality.
01:04:47.240All right, let me tell you about rapid radios.
01:04:50.140When everybody can reach everybody, it feels normal.
01:04:52.560And when you can't get through, everything slows down fast.
01:04:54.880Imagine a family trying to find each other at a crowded event, you know, a crew spread out over a large area property, parents checking on kids outside, people coordinating during bad weather.
01:05:05.900These are the moments when you don't want voicemail dead batteries or a complicated app standing between you and a simple message.
01:20:11.060welcome to the glennbeck program let me go to dakota in indiana hello dakota welcome to the
01:20:27.380glennbeck program hey glenn um yeah i was on i'm in uh northern indiana um and one thing that
01:20:35.180really you're talking about the affordability is the price of the ground yes um here and you're
01:20:41.340talking about expanding and really opening up new homes we don't have a problem with housing
01:20:46.560there it's a month and there's a new housing addition 200 300 homes at farmland it's just
01:20:54.980disappearing but the problem is the land is going for 80 hundred thousand dollars for a lot and
01:21:00.720And that's not, I've been talking about, if you wanted over an acre farmland, I just went to two property auctions and they're selling for $16,000 an acre.
01:23:38.880So right now, everybody's watching the war in Iran, hoping that it ends quickly, but there's something that people are not talking about.
01:23:45.340Even if it does end tomorrow, the aftershocks are just getting started because the Strait of Hormuz has been disrupted, and that doesn't just fix itself overnight.
01:23:53.880Ships that are arriving today left ports months ago, and right now, shipments are backed up, and supplies are tightening, and other parts of the world are already feeling the shortages that we haven't fully felt yet.
01:24:04.220which means what you're seeing now is the beginning.
01:24:07.100This affects shipping, manufacturing, and eventually medical supply chains.
01:24:10.660And when the system slows down, medication shortages do follow.
01:24:14.000And by the time that you get it at your local pharmacy, it's too late.
01:36:38.800They tried to mandate 100% EV sales by 2035, then replaced it with admission rules that achieve the same thing except through the back door.
01:37:27.380A judge reduced a convicted man's sentence specifically so he wouldn't be deported because his skills mattered more than enforcing the law.
01:38:23.580Guns, they banned 2,500 assault-style firearms, called the buyback, voluntary, and then warned that keeping your legally purchased property after the deadline means jail.
01:50:02.200That poor people can't afford, but at least the government isn't deciding.
01:50:06.780At least that's the private market deciding.
01:50:09.320And the government can do a lot to get out of the way just by revamping the insurance, by stopping all of the restrictions that are all built in favor of these giant insurance companies.
01:50:22.320Stop doing that and then make the market much more free and you're going to be able to have more people afford it.
01:50:30.100But once the government is in charge and then they can't afford it, what do they do?
01:50:36.140they start saying who's going to live and die
01:50:39.620and that's what's happening in Canada0.99
