00:00:00.000 Did you lock the front door?

00:00:04.080 Check.

00:00:04.620 Closed the garage door?

00:00:05.800 Yep.

00:00:06.300 Installed window sensors, smoke sensors, and HD cameras with night vision?

00:00:09.780 No.

00:00:10.580 And you set up credit card transaction alerts, a secure VPN for a private connection,

00:00:14.060 and continuous monitoring for our personal info on the dark web?

00:00:17.080 Uh, I'm looking into it?

00:00:19.600 Stress less about security.

00:00:21.360 Choose security solutions from Telus for peace of mind at home and online.

00:00:25.220 Visit telus.com slash total security to learn more.

00:00:28.800 Conditions apply.

00:00:30.000 So France is collapsing, and the Washington Post is like,

00:00:34.200 yeah, I guess they spent too much money, and they were spending it on health care

00:00:38.040 and all other kind of crazy things, and now they just can't keep up with it.

00:00:42.120 Completely oblivious to that's exactly what they're preaching.

00:00:45.360 We should do more of.

00:00:47.080 But everybody's got their head in the sand.

00:00:49.520 And meanwhile, a commercial for Coinbase came out in the U.K.

00:00:54.480 It was banned in the U.K.

00:00:56.040 Um, and it was, it was making fun of everybody saying in England everything is fine with everything

00:01:04.080 falling apart around them.

00:01:06.040 Uh, we shared the ad with you.

00:01:07.820 It's, it's really kind of an important thing, especially since it has been banned in the U.K.

00:01:12.800 They just do not want the voice of the people to be heard.

00:01:16.840 Also, we don't need more government regulation.

00:01:19.140 We need to return to freedom and the real free market system.

00:01:22.840 And we need to learn a very dirty word, civics.

00:01:26.560 We get into that as well, all on today's podcast.

00:01:29.500 So, nothing's separate, uh, anymore.

00:01:33.360 Every dollar you spend goes someplace.

00:01:35.780 And the mobile, big mobile carriers, they're sending your money to places that you would never do.

00:01:39.940 Places that fund abortion, tourism, gender ideology in schools, anti-Christian agendas,

00:01:45.540 and the same radical groups that mock your values and the values that you try to teach your kids.

00:01:50.820 And then, when you complain, they tell you, stand in line.

00:01:54.060 Stay in your lane.

00:01:54.980 Here's the truth.

00:01:57.040 And, you know, it's all one lane now.

00:01:59.420 You don't get to opt out of the culture war when the other side is putting their flag in everything,

00:02:06.040 even your phone bill.

00:02:07.480 This is why Patriot Mobile exists.

00:02:09.640 They're the only Christian conservative wireless provider in America.

00:02:13.420 And they'll give you great service on the same cell towers that the other major carriers have

00:02:18.020 without funding all of the madness.

00:02:20.320 And instead, they support pro-life organizations, veterans, first responders,

00:02:24.860 and causes that you actually believe in and align with your values.

00:02:29.760 Switching now is easier than ever before.

00:02:31.740 Activate in minutes from the comfort of your own home.

00:02:33.700 Keep your number, your phone, or upgrade both.

00:02:46.800 Hello, America.

00:02:48.280 You know we've been fighting every single day.

00:02:50.280 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're

00:02:55.520 trying to feed you.

00:02:56.580 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

00:03:01.420 But to keep this fight going, we need you.

00:03:03.880 Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

00:03:07.260 Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through

00:03:12.160 Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.

00:03:16.440 This isn't a podcast.

00:03:17.820 This is a movement.

00:03:19.240 And you're part of it.

00:03:20.400 A big part of it.

00:03:21.280 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up,

00:03:24.040 help us push this podcast to the top.

00:03:26.380 Rate, review, share.

00:03:27.980 Together, we'll make a difference.

00:03:30.020 And thanks for standing with us.

00:03:31.300 Now let's get to work.

00:03:37.260 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:44.280 We're talking today about the collapse of France or what is coming as a collapse in France

00:03:50.400 and how just nobody is noticing, well, that's our country too.

00:03:56.520 That's weird.

00:03:57.540 And imagine they're in this situation now where they can't afford to do the things they're doing.

00:04:03.520 Imagine what's going to happen when you cut off all of the immigrants, 1.00

00:04:09.580 when you stop paying them for not working, when all of a sudden all of that goes away.

00:04:15.660 Do you think they're going to be happy about it?

00:04:18.560 Do you think they're going to not light the streets on fire?

00:04:24.800 I mean, and how are they going to afford to be able to hold that together?

00:04:28.200 I mean, it's remarkable.

00:04:30.020 And how does the BBC report this today?

00:04:32.020 The BBC report on this is absolutely hilarious.

00:04:35.120 I love this quote.

00:04:37.100 Simply put, France's government has for decades spent more money than it has generated.

00:04:41.840 As a result, it has to borrow to cover its budget.

00:04:45.600 So this is the West looking at France and saying,

00:04:50.280 we didn't get caught by the principal smoking cigarettes.

00:04:53.260 That was those other kids, the French. 1.00

00:04:54.880 They're the ones that were smoking those cigarettes.

00:04:56.340 And they're still doing it.

00:04:57.920 They're all on the verge, including us.

00:05:00.180 We are all on the verge of collapse, and nobody's recognizing it. 0.94

00:05:05.000 Everybody's like, yeah, look at the dummies in France.

00:05:08.580 You mentioned migration, though, and I think that's really, really huge to this,

00:05:12.520 because this is exactly what, what's-his-name-Lord Voldemort was talking about.

00:05:16.880 I mean, he's talking about the Cloward and Piven strategy on a national scale.

00:05:23.580 What they're talking about, what's happening with France here,

00:05:25.240 is exactly what happened in New York City,

00:05:26.660 what Cloward and Piven did in New York City back in the 70s.

00:05:29.780 I know, I know.

00:05:30.940 Then what do you think migration is going to do?

00:05:32.920 It's going to continue that overwhelming point.

00:05:34.920 It is the point of migration.

00:05:36.640 The point.

00:05:36.760 It is the point of this migration.

00:05:39.580 And we should point out as well,

00:05:41.140 they're attempting to do it again in New York right now, right?

00:05:44.420 Like, this is all starting,

00:05:45.500 we are months away from a guy winning a mayoral election, potentially,

00:05:50.840 where he will implement all of this, and worse,

00:05:54.240 he will try to skip multiple generations of the buildup toward it

00:05:59.520 and just cut to the chase and give you some version of socialism

00:06:04.400 in a city that, while thankfully now far away from where I live,

00:06:10.120 also has a massive influence on the economy of not only our country,

00:06:13.780 but the world, it's the financial center of the world

00:06:15.760 we're talking about these policies being implemented in.

00:06:19.080 We are on the verge.

00:06:21.420 Here's how split the people are from the elites.

00:06:27.260 There is an ad that was apparently blocked in the UK,

00:06:31.060 but it was made by Coinbase for the UK.

00:06:36.040 And the whole ad is called Everything is Fine, okay?

00:06:39.860 And I just want to play some of it here.

00:06:43.740 This is an ad blocked in the UK.

00:06:46.760 Listen.

00:06:49.460 There's a leaky word.

00:06:50.500 We ain't got no troubles, no reason to complain.

00:06:53.300 Cause here in great old Britain, we just love it when it rains.

00:06:56.360 Morning.

00:06:56.920 We're cozy heat at home, even though it's not our own.

00:07:00.640 But wait a few more years and you can say.

00:07:02.860 Everything is just fine.

00:07:08.160 Everything is grand.

00:07:11.460 You like to get the better when you're living by the letter

00:07:14.760 In this pleasant land.

00:07:18.520 Everything is just fine.

00:07:21.880 Everything is great.

00:07:25.120 The streets can't get no cleaner,

00:07:26.900 Nor the rat meat any leaner.

00:07:28.660 No pipe is just but straight.

00:07:30.840 Everything is just fine.

00:07:34.360 These fish fingers are a steal.

00:07:35.960 Prices up a smidge.

00:07:37.560 Just a hundred quid a meal.

00:07:39.060 Empty purse.

00:07:40.020 But hey, could be worse.

00:07:41.460 If there was nothing in the fridge.

00:07:48.160 Shows them dancing in the supermarket.

00:07:50.740 Ooh, everybody's broke.

00:07:52.340 Means I get to work for myself.

00:07:55.420 Yeah!

00:07:56.200 Paying off my law degree.

00:07:58.500 The tips from each delivery.

00:08:01.940 Excuse me, sir, I have your tandoori.

00:08:09.720 Everything is just fine.

00:08:13.500 Everything is grand.

00:08:16.760 You like to get your renter when you're living by the letter 0.98

00:08:21.140 In this pleasant land.

00:08:25.040 Everything is just fine.

00:08:28.180 Everything is great.

00:08:31.200 We're soldiering on.

00:08:32.720 We're doing our bits.

00:08:34.140 We're off to Dubai.

00:08:35.560 It's time to jump ship.

00:08:36.860 We're timing our bells with a sniff of a chip.

00:08:39.660 Cause everything, everything, everything, everything's just fine.

00:08:48.820 Wow.

00:08:50.260 Everything's just fine.

00:08:51.540 Don't change anything.

00:08:54.000 Coinbase.

00:08:54.600 A society falling apart all around them the entire time.

00:08:57.320 I mean, if that isn't true, I mean, that shows you how the British people actually feel.

00:09:06.400 I'm convinced of it.

00:09:07.280 The actual people, just like here in America, we know everything's not fine.

00:09:11.680 But imagine over there, it is much, much worse.

00:09:16.080 And you're not allowed to say those things.

00:09:18.120 And this ad proves it because it's blocked in the UK.

00:09:23.740 Yeah.

00:09:24.360 People are looking at France right now because of the news, but people should be looking at the UK.

00:09:29.720 I mean, every single day it looks like, oh my gosh, they're going to erupt.

00:09:34.220 I just saw an article this morning about the car industry in France.

00:09:40.200 I mean, in England.

00:09:42.820 It's over.

00:09:43.860 It's over.

00:09:44.900 The Mini, which was the only thing really holding up the car industry.

00:09:49.060 You know, I mean, they used to have Jaguar and Range Rover.

00:09:55.720 They're now being built overseas.

00:09:58.180 The Mini is now moving all of the jobs over to China.

00:10:03.580 China is going to be building the Mini now.

00:10:07.240 Well, what's left for the British worker? 1.00

00:10:10.200 I mean, it's just...

00:10:12.300 To protest out in the streets, pretty much.

00:10:14.380 Have you seen their version of Sabo?

00:10:19.220 No, yeah.

00:10:20.200 Banksy?

00:10:20.400 Yeah, Banksy.

00:10:21.020 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:10:21.380 Very famous.

00:10:22.100 His latest art was a judicial or judge beating a protester with his gavel.

00:10:28.080 And they immediately responded, the authorities did, by covering it up and posting two armed guards until they can get it painted over.

00:10:34.740 They are terrified of their people right now.

00:10:37.380 Terrified.

00:10:37.980 And they're arresting people for unfurling flags at demonstrations.

00:10:42.260 British and English flags.

00:10:43.460 So, the English flag is the one that is really curious to me.

00:10:49.800 The English flag is white and red.

00:10:52.700 So, if you see the red, white, and blue, the British flag has all the stripes.

00:10:57.320 The red stripes represent the British... 0.88

00:11:00.840 I mean, sorry, the English flag.

00:11:02.800 Okay?

00:11:03.520 And that's just a red cross in the center of a white flag.

00:11:08.580 So, that's part of the British flag.

00:11:13.200 And what they did is people are starting to say, well, I'm English.

00:11:16.420 And I am proud to be English.

00:11:18.220 Because they're dismantling England.

00:11:21.060 And I'm proud to be...

00:11:22.520 And they are now arresting children, children, for wearing t-shirts with the English flag on it.

00:11:31.020 Are you kidding me?

00:11:34.180 Did you see the guy, the veteran that was protesting in the streets and all he was doing was displaying a flag?

00:11:42.600 He was displaying an English flag.

00:11:45.340 He's a veteran.

00:11:46.920 He was in a wheelchair.

00:11:49.120 And they picked him up and put him in the paddy wagon.

00:11:54.220 That's not going to last.

00:11:55.880 That is not going to last.

00:11:57.880 How are you going to afford defense and national defense inside?

00:12:05.620 You're not.

00:12:06.920 You're not.

00:12:08.120 Your enemies are within the gates now.

00:12:11.600 And it's happening here just slower.

00:12:13.860 And if we don't wake up soon, it's going to happen.

00:12:16.820 Because the entire West is going to collapse.

00:12:19.400 I saw a video yesterday from a couple of people that claim to be CIA people.

00:12:24.420 I don't know if they are or not.

00:12:25.460 And I don't even know what that means, if they are.

00:12:28.380 But they were making a very good case on everything's just fine.

00:12:37.680 What they're saying is exactly what George Soros' guy said to my guy back in 2009.

00:12:45.760 We were threatened by George Soros.

00:12:48.320 I was threatened by George Soros through a member of his team.

00:12:53.940 And my guy had lunch with this guy because he asked for lunch.

00:12:58.720 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.

00:13:08.520 And I was told to stop talking about George Soros because, quote, your boss is hurting my boss, and it will end.

00:13:18.680 And when Joel said, no, I don't think that's going to end.

00:13:22.940 I know my boss, and I don't think he's going to stop.

00:13:25.920 He said, I don't think you understand.

00:13:29.580 He is going to stop.

00:13:31.500 And you should just let your boss know that the ship is about to sail.

00:13:35.980 This is 2009.

00:13:37.800 Everything that is needed is on board, and everyone's getting onto the boat, and it's about to set sail.

00:13:44.600 And you do not want to be left on the dock.

00:13:47.440 But it's setting sail, and it's going to leave, and your boss and you people are not going to be on it.

00:13:55.960 And our response was, good, I don't want to be on a ship with you.

00:14:01.840 But that is really what's happening right now.

00:14:05.040 And what these supposed CIA agents said was, the die has been cast now.

00:14:14.040 It's beyond being able to go back and fix it.

00:14:19.420 It is going to morph.

00:14:21.320 Now, what is it going to morph into?

00:14:24.380 And they were making the case that basically what was in that ad from Coinbase,

00:14:29.800 it had two people in, like, I don't know, a BMW or something.

00:14:34.380 And the husband said, you know, something like, it's time to get to Dubai.

00:14:39.400 You know, and so they're leaving, you know, because the rich will get out.

00:14:45.260 They will get out.

00:14:46.420 Exactly what Lord Moncton said as well just a few minutes ago.

00:14:50.900 They'll get out.

00:14:52.280 And then you're left behind.

00:14:55.640 And we have to decide right now, what is it we're fighting for?

00:15:01.540 What is it that is essential that we keep?

00:15:04.980 Because if this socialism thing goes, America...

00:15:11.540 We are about to see one of the darkest predictions that I have made come true

00:15:25.460 if we don't turn this around.

00:15:27.440 And that is, if America goes dark with the powers that we have,

00:15:33.920 the technology that we have, the ability that we have,

00:15:38.060 we will make the Nazis look like rookies. 0.86

00:15:42.380 And it's true. 0.56

00:15:44.520 China is already doing it.

00:15:47.480 And if we are not careful, that is the road we will go down.

00:15:52.480 It is imperative that we support the youth,

00:15:57.720 that we look to them and build them up in healthy ways

00:16:03.220 by teaching them, by mentoring them,

00:16:06.340 by showing them that there is hope in the future.

00:16:11.040 I want to spend some time.

00:16:14.700 There's a new poll out today on Gen Z that shows that there's a gender divide in Gen Z.

00:16:24.220 And it goes in, it's way beyond politics.

00:16:28.660 It goes into gender, marriage, children, and success.

00:16:32.000 And the problem is, is that the men in Gen Z, the boys in Gen Z, they get it. 0.56

00:16:41.520 But the women have been so entirely lost to this socialism thing,

00:16:47.220 they don't even know where to find happiness.

00:16:50.820 Let me tell you about pre-born.

00:16:52.620 Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, over 100 abortion clinics have closed their doors.

00:16:56.880 Praise God for that.

00:16:58.320 But what's taken their place isn't less deadly.

00:17:01.260 Today, the abortion pill makes up more than 60% of all abortions in America.

00:17:06.760 And it is being marketed to young women as private and convenient and safe and easy.

00:17:12.700 They're not being told the truth.

00:17:14.860 It's not just ending a pregnancy.

00:17:17.060 They are taking a life alone, at home, traumatized, unsupported.

00:17:23.140 I mean, it is really bad.

00:17:24.640 And this is where pre-born steps in.

00:17:26.760 They're fighting for lives and souls every single day.

00:17:29.940 Pre-born is rescuing roughly 200 babies every day through love and compassion

00:17:35.160 and the powerful tool of ultrasound.

00:17:37.900 When a mom sees her baby, everything changes.

00:17:40.620 And the numbers prove it.

00:18:12.020 Now back to the podcast.

00:18:14.060 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

00:18:17.720 So coming soon, The Torch.

00:18:23.260 The Torch is a new project of mine and something that I feel compelled to do.

00:18:33.980 You know, I've been talking about things for the last couple of years and saying I feel like my calling,

00:18:38.860 because I look at my job as more of a calling,

00:18:40.440 I feel like my calling is changing, and I didn't know what it was at first.

00:18:48.600 I still am a little fuzzy on it, but I'm pretty clear.

00:18:53.640 I just don't know how to do it yet, and I'm looking for your help.

00:18:57.460 We had a meeting last night where we were talking about how we can get you directly involved in helping me

00:19:03.840 and setting up one-on-one conversations with you on a regular basis,

00:19:09.860 not just a one-way communication, but on a regular basis,

00:19:12.840 being able to hear from you and have you help steer a little bit,

00:19:18.040 because this is a project we all need to work on,

00:19:21.940 because the old ideas are no longer...

00:19:26.220 I'm excited about them because I know they've not been tried for a long time.

00:19:30.220 But when you talk about capitalism, that just falls on deaf ears.

00:19:33.840 Because people think we have capitalism now.

00:19:36.040 We haven't had capitalism in over 100 years, okay?

00:19:39.260 The word free market, those words, that's like wallpaper now,

00:19:43.640 just background noise and a political speech, and nobody pays attention to it.

00:19:47.700 But what we are living under and have lived under is not the free market.

00:19:54.680 It's a cartel. It really is.

00:19:57.160 The government has turned into a cartel with crony deals and lobbyists that are writing the rules

00:20:02.260 and bailouts for the powerful.

00:20:04.460 You know, people on the left will say, the rich keep getting richer.

00:20:08.100 Well, yes. And who are the rich? Who are the rich?

00:20:12.240 Who are the rich?

00:20:13.480 Let's just start at the top.

00:20:14.780 How about the banks?

00:20:15.540 What do the banks do?

00:20:18.620 The banks have a cartel.

00:20:20.960 It's called the Federal Reserve.

00:20:23.140 Who controls the Federal Reserve?

00:20:25.400 Do you control the Federal Reserve?

00:20:27.320 That's the five biggest banks in the country.

00:20:30.460 The five biggest banks in the country.

00:20:32.700 We don't even know who they are.

00:20:35.640 What kind of system is that?

00:20:37.460 That is a progressive system put in by Woodrow Wilson and his cronies at the time

00:20:42.980 to control you.

00:20:45.240 That's what all of this is about.

00:20:47.500 Controlling you.

00:20:50.300 Getting rich themselves and controlling you.

00:20:53.620 And they do it through these official-sounding things like the Federal Reserve.

00:20:57.940 The Federal Reserve is not the free market and should be destroyed.

00:21:02.540 We haven't had the free market for a very long time.

00:21:08.780 Who is bailing these corporations out?

00:21:11.460 It's the government.

00:21:12.860 Why is the government doing that? 0.57

00:21:14.300 Because the corporations are taking money and they're allowed to buy lobbyists.

00:21:19.960 So they can write.

00:21:20.860 Most of the laws are not written by any lawmaker.

00:21:24.140 They're written by lobbyists.

00:21:26.180 And then they're pushed through by the lobbyists into Congress all the way up to the president.

00:21:32.720 That's not a free system.

00:21:35.040 That is a system where you get screwed in the end.

00:21:38.800 The government is a machine that has been used by the powerful corporations and the powerful people like George Soros

00:21:48.240 to keep you down and to lift them up.

00:21:52.320 Protect them.

00:21:53.440 Because they think they know better than you.

00:21:55.840 They're more important than you.

00:21:57.680 And if you're 30 years old, this is all you've ever seen.

00:22:01.080 You've seen the rotten fruit of that tree for a very, very long time.

00:22:06.300 The crushing rent.

00:22:08.040 The suffocating debt that you probably saw your parents go through while the banks were being bailed out.

00:22:13.200 The health care bills that you can't understand anymore.

00:22:16.540 I mean, how does that even work?

00:22:19.700 Not only can you not understand your health care bill, how are you going to pay your health care bill?

00:22:24.580 But here's the secret.

00:22:27.200 None of this is the free market.

00:22:29.900 None of it.

00:22:31.260 You've not seen the free market.

00:22:33.640 Not once.

00:22:35.000 What you've seen and witnessed here in America is a rigged game.

00:22:39.400 And people are right to reject it.

00:22:42.720 You're right.

00:22:43.620 But that's not what the system was designed to do.

00:22:47.780 That is the bastardization of this.

00:22:50.300 It's taken them 100 years to do it.

00:22:53.580 But that's what this system has been turned into.

00:22:59.420 Here's the twist.

00:23:00.480 If you let the real free market breathe, it doesn't chain you down.

00:23:07.000 It lifts you up.

00:23:09.320 What if we, instead of burning the whole system down, what if we burn down the barricades,

00:23:14.440 the barricades of red tape and let builders actually build?

00:23:20.440 What if zoning laws and rent controls were cleared out like brushwood?

00:23:25.520 Suddenly, the housing market would be affordable again.

00:23:28.500 And if you don't believe me, look at what's happening in Argentina.

00:23:32.900 And not in theory, in practice, actually doing these things and making things affordable.

00:23:40.100 Again, what if health care bills showed the price up front?

00:23:45.060 Okay?

00:23:45.680 Like a restaurant menu.

00:23:47.740 Doctors were competing to earn your business instead of serving the insurance companies. 0.83

00:23:53.000 The insurance companies also have gone completely mad and corrupt.

00:23:57.700 And how did they do it?

00:23:59.220 Why did they do it?

00:24:00.080 They did it because it's the rules the government set up.

00:24:03.760 Because it was dirty.

00:24:05.620 If you think a bigger government is going to make things better, you're wrong.

00:24:09.860 The government is the problem.

00:24:13.960 What if student loans stopped being a government racket?

00:24:18.640 Do you know the price of education back in the 60s and 70s?

00:24:23.920 Because it wasn't the price of a house.

00:24:28.940 What happened?

00:24:31.140 That got out of control when the government started saying, you know what?

00:24:36.540 We're going to get into the business of loans.

00:24:40.100 We're going to give the loans.

00:24:41.420 Once those loans were guaranteed, the universities knew, well, we're in bed with the government now.

00:24:48.460 It'll never fail.

00:24:50.160 They'll never stop writing those loans.

00:24:52.800 And we can charge whatever we want.

00:24:54.980 But what if the loans stopped being this government racket and education was tailored and affordable and actually useful? 0.98

00:25:04.400 Not this crap you're getting now. 0.95

00:25:06.260 You're being trained to be a revolutionary. 0.99

00:25:08.440 That's it.

00:25:08.940 They're not training you for any usable skill.

00:25:12.640 They are so far behind the curve on what is coming.

00:25:16.460 By the time you've racked up all this debt, you're sitting there under this mountain of debt.

00:25:21.940 You think you've played by the rules.

00:25:25.100 And so you're feeling like, hey, I'm getting screwed by everybody else. 0.82

00:25:28.060 You're not getting screwed by everybody else. 0.85

00:25:29.640 You were screwed by the universities in bed with the government and the teachers' unions. 0.90

00:25:36.320 That's who you've been screwed by. 0.50

00:25:37.940 Make no mistake.

00:25:39.700 And what are the teachers' unions and the schools and the government now trying to get you to do?

00:25:45.540 To be a revolutionary.

00:25:47.080 To make the government even bigger and more powerful.

00:25:50.400 What if we made things actually work?

00:25:55.320 I mean, not just a slogan, but a real idea of cutting all of this.

00:26:02.200 Malay is doing it in Argentina right now.

00:26:05.360 He's stripping rent control and it has caused the supply of houses to triple and prices to fall.

00:26:12.820 Why is nobody talking about that?

00:26:15.620 Why is that not in anybody's best interest to talk about that?

00:26:20.660 Why is that not on the front page of everything?

00:26:22.700 That's an actual solution.

00:26:25.340 The houses, the market has tripled in size.

00:26:30.340 The availability of housing is triple what it was.

00:26:34.460 And the prices are lower.

00:26:37.420 Why aren't we looking at that?

00:26:39.720 Because it's not in anyone's interest except for yours.

00:26:44.260 And nobody's serving you. 1.00

00:26:46.080 And you are becoming a useful idiot by playing into this system. 1.00

00:26:53.260 By saying, yeah, we need more government regulation. 1.00

00:26:57.840 This is not about left or right.

00:27:00.140 It's not about the Democrats or the Republicans. 1.00

00:27:02.940 Because all of that's garbage. 0.95

00:27:06.380 This is about finally, for the first time in your lifetime, in my lifetime, 0.91

00:27:12.500 trying to do what America was actually built to do in the first place.

00:27:19.360 Freedom in the marketplace.

00:27:23.140 The free market is not an old idea.

00:27:26.920 It's the newest idea that America hasn't dared tried in decades.

00:27:32.280 Why is everybody pushing failed systems that have failed over and over and over again?

00:27:37.260 And yet we have the one system, the free market, the true free market,

00:27:41.440 that completely changed the entire world, fed more people, brought more people out of poverty,

00:27:48.980 changed health care system entirely, gave us energy and fuel to be able to read at night,

00:27:59.540 study at night, fly across the world, do all of these amazing things.

00:28:03.980 Why aren't we going back and saying, wait a minute, what was it that started that revolution?

00:28:16.460 Let's try that again.

00:28:17.920 Instead of going back to something that ended in 100 million people being killed,

00:28:23.520 starved to death,

00:28:26.820 oppressed, people thrown in prison.

00:28:28.940 My gosh.

00:28:33.080 We are dragging anchors through history.

00:28:37.600 Old language, old solutions, old slogans, Democrats, Republicans.

00:28:42.260 They argue over the size of government as if that debate hasn't become the dead weight

00:28:47.420 that keeps this nation down in the first place.

00:28:49.840 Meanwhile, you, the young person in Dallas that's just starting a family,

00:28:56.700 a single mom in Chicago, the contractor in Idaho,

00:29:01.420 you're not debating theory.

00:29:03.520 This is real life for you.

00:29:04.960 You're drowning in the price of rent and groceries and gasoline.

00:29:08.560 You're watching your dream shrink and shrink and shrink

00:29:11.420 while politicians just keep using recycled words that meant something maybe 40 years ago

00:29:17.280 that don't mean anything anymore.

00:29:19.840 Don't burn the system down.

00:29:23.980 Cut the ropes that have been tying you down.

00:29:27.920 It's time to throw the dead weight overboard.

00:29:31.080 So what does that look like?

00:29:34.420 It looks like putting you, the consumer,

00:29:37.820 not the government, not the corporation, back at the center.

00:29:41.880 Ever notice that recently corporations really don't care about you?

00:29:46.300 They say they care about you in theory.

00:29:48.500 They care about people in blocks, but they don't serve you.

00:29:53.380 Has your service at your local store or whatever gotten better or worse?

00:29:58.360 Do they care more about serving you?

00:30:00.940 That's the idea of the free market.

00:30:03.220 You want to know how to get rich?

00:30:04.600 You get rich by coming up with a way to serve people and make their life easier and better every day.

00:30:12.120 If I can help you understand the world in a better way so the world makes sense to you,

00:30:19.820 I've given you something of value that you want.

00:30:23.420 That's how I make my money because I work every day trying to figure out how can I make your life more manageable.

00:30:32.740 You have to do, that's what all entrepreneurs do.

00:30:36.020 How can I help people ease their life?

00:30:41.160 Provide them with something that makes their life better.

00:30:45.480 Instead, the other way to do it is how can I oppress people?

00:30:49.820 How can I make sure the government will guard everything I'm doing,

00:30:53.720 even though I'm ripping people off, I'm destroying lives,

00:30:56.620 but I'll get rich and the government will get rich.

00:30:59.880 No.

00:31:00.480 We need energy prices that fall because of competition, not subsidies.

00:31:07.140 The government not deciding winners, but you deciding the winner.

00:31:10.400 We need housing unlocked by the simple idea that builders should be allowed to build.

00:31:17.200 Wages that rise because the little guy is suddenly allowed to compete with the big guy,

00:31:22.120 not beg the big guy for a job.

00:31:24.460 We have to stop defending capitalism because capitalism, as it has been, it's over.

00:31:31.700 It doesn't work.

00:31:33.380 We need to unleash freedom as it was meant to be.

00:31:37.660 Not the freedom of slogans, not the freedom of insider deals,

00:31:41.960 but the real freedom of choice and risk and reward applied to everyone in everyday life all around the country.

00:31:50.720 Because, honestly, history will tell us when countries fall into despair,

00:31:57.340 they reach for control.

00:31:58.640 Every time.

00:31:59.520 Every time.

00:32:00.300 And it's going to happen here.

00:32:01.660 The central plan, the state solution, the strong man.

00:32:05.500 But America was built on the opposite impulse,

00:32:08.880 to trust people more than the planners.

00:32:12.360 That was our radical idea.

00:32:14.420 That was the miracle.

00:32:17.060 Trust people over the planners.

00:32:20.720 The question is, I mean, that's the one idea we haven't tried in a very long time.

00:32:28.900 Can we make it new again?

00:32:32.000 And can we convince people to believe in themselves instead of the people who have brought us this misery?

00:32:39.680 You're streaming the best of the Glenn Beck program,

00:32:42.700 and you can find full episodes wherever you download podcasts.

00:32:46.460 Okay, I've got to say a word that is going to, oh, just make your blood run cold,

00:32:51.860 because you'll think of, oh, my gosh, that was a high school class I slept through.

00:32:57.140 I had to memorize a bunch of stuff, and I promptly forgot.

00:32:59.280 I never thought of that word again.

00:33:01.420 Civics.

00:33:01.860 Civics.

00:33:04.020 Civics.

00:33:05.320 I mean, that brings to mind, like, a diagram of the three branches of government.

00:33:10.040 You know, stuff that you had to take to graduate, and you're like, oh.

00:33:15.380 And you didn't see, because it was a subject that didn't, wasn't connected to anything.

00:33:21.760 And yet it was the most important subject.

00:33:23.680 It should have been taught all the way through, not in just some high school class.

00:33:27.620 And it's not a subject as much as it is a responsibility.

00:33:33.920 It is a set of habits and disciplines and values that make a country possible.

00:33:41.600 Without it, no country can survive.

00:33:46.600 I want you to think of civics in this way.

00:33:49.060 Every time you speak freely, every time you worship openly, every time you question your government,

00:33:58.420 every time you serve on a jury or cast a ballot, that's civics.

00:34:04.700 That's what it is.

00:34:06.120 It's not theory.

00:34:07.400 It's not some textbook.

00:34:08.660 It's not history.

00:34:09.760 It is action.

00:34:10.820 It is the action and the acts that we make every day to be a positive force in our society.

00:34:20.760 And nobody likes the idea of having any responsibilities.

00:34:24.360 I do my responsibility.

00:34:25.700 I do my civic responsibility.

00:34:28.280 I pay my taxes.

00:34:31.080 That's not civics.

00:34:32.220 That's a scam, in my opinion.

00:34:37.180 The founders, when they put this together, they knew it could never run on autopilot.

00:34:41.900 And I just want you to think about how much of our lives in this country run on autopilot right now.

00:34:48.360 We just assume that it's going to work.

00:34:54.220 And now we're surprised that it's not working.

00:34:57.100 Well, of course not.

00:34:58.620 Because nobody was steering.

00:35:01.000 The people who are steering are steering it right into the side of a mountain.

00:35:05.080 And they know it.

00:35:06.840 Our founders gave us tools and separation of powers and checks and balances and federalism and elections.

00:35:12.980 But they also gave us a warning that this won't work unless you're educated, engaged, and moral.

00:35:23.080 Out of those three, educated, engaged, and moral, have we really accomplished any of those three?

00:35:34.440 Would you say the United States of America, the citizenry, is educated?

00:35:38.800 Nope.

00:35:40.580 Engaged?

00:35:41.540 Not at all.

00:35:43.760 Moral?

00:35:45.120 Please.

00:35:47.480 Benjamin Franklin was asked after the Constitutional Convention,

00:35:50.920 what have we got?

00:35:51.880 What did you give us?

00:35:52.660 A monarchy or a republic?

00:35:54.200 And he said, a republic, if you can keep it.

00:35:58.160 People don't even know what a republic is anymore.

00:36:00.860 They have no idea.

00:36:02.880 What he said was prophetic.

00:36:05.880 Keeping it, getting it, is the easier part.

00:36:08.700 I mean, remember, we fought and died to have a republic.

00:36:15.480 That was the easy part.

00:36:17.480 Keeping it is the hard part.

00:36:19.280 And so how do you keep it?

00:36:21.380 You keep it through something we call, sorry, put myself to sleep, civics.

00:36:28.220 In your family, we have to teach our children that liberty is not a license to do whatever you want.

00:36:39.060 It is the space to do what is right.

00:36:45.280 That's a huge difference.

00:36:46.740 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.

00:36:57.100 We understand them, and when necessary, we challenge them.

00:37:02.980 How much, how, really, honestly, how involved are you in your local community?

00:37:09.060 Most of us, most of us would be like, not really.

00:37:13.320 In our own life, it means read the Constitution, not summaries, not somebody else's opinion, the real thing.

00:37:25.980 Read it.

00:37:27.320 Wrestle with it.

00:37:29.260 Ask what it demands of you.

00:37:33.460 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.

00:37:39.980 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.

00:37:47.420 And I'm like, good, good.

00:37:50.340 Well, wait, are you wrestling with that?

00:37:53.920 Are you searching for it?

00:37:55.240 Or are you just like, I don't know what I believe.

00:37:57.380 Because one of those is dangerous, one of those is really good.

00:38:03.380 Civics is something that is not learned in theory, it is learned in practice.

00:38:08.740 And if you want to know how to live civics, I want you to start small.

00:38:15.660 This is something, this is kind of a new kick of mine.

00:38:19.860 Think small.

00:38:20.760 Everybody's thinking big.

00:38:21.880 Think small.

00:38:22.640 Think very small.

00:38:23.740 Dream big, but think small.

00:38:27.820 You want to live civics?

00:38:29.280 Be honest in all of your business dealings.

00:38:33.320 You want to save the country?

00:38:35.080 Speak respectfully in disagreement.

00:38:37.000 You want to save the republic?

00:38:39.500 Vote in every election, not just the presidential ones.

00:38:43.640 You want to save your country?

00:38:45.300 Model citizenship in a way your children can imitate.

00:38:49.760 That your kids will always remember.

00:38:53.660 Because the truth is, we have been thinking that we can pass America down in our bloodline.

00:38:59.360 And it doesn't happen that way.

00:39:00.660 We pass it down through teaching it, but not just saying the words, but actually living it.

00:39:08.020 Because every generation has to be taught and shown how to carry the heavy weight of liberty.

00:39:14.520 Nobody even knows what that word means anymore.

00:39:17.480 That word is like a cartoon word.

00:39:19.480 It's, I mean, it's as real as a safe falling on somebody's head as they're walking down the street.

00:39:24.540 You know, one of those ACME safes.

00:39:31.680 One of the goals that I have for myself in the coming year is,

00:39:36.940 I don't want to do another commentary on the news of the day.

00:39:40.960 I don't want to do another rant on what happened in Washington.

00:39:44.080 I instead want to be part of a movement of self-empowerment.

00:39:50.960 I want to help equip you, one person, one family, one classroom, one church, one neighborhood at a time,

00:40:00.800 with the tools that we need to save the republic.

00:40:03.720 Like, we have spent so much time looking for a politician to save us.

00:40:10.500 And they're not coming.

00:40:13.480 They can slow things down, but they're not going to save us.

00:40:15.860 Nobody's going to have all of the answers for us.

00:40:17.900 Only we have the answers.

00:40:19.000 I mean, how can we actually believe that the country is built on the individual

00:40:24.700 and then look for one individual to make all of it right for all of us?

00:40:33.720 So, the next election is not going to fix us.

00:40:38.160 The nation will stand or fall based on how we, each of us, live civics out every single day.

00:40:47.940 I'm going to come up with another word for civics because that just sounds, oh my gosh.

00:40:52.420 I mean, I'm tuning out.

00:40:53.920 Civics.

00:40:54.980 Move on.

00:40:55.940 I believe if we return to just the discipline of the small stuff, if we live what we say we believe,

00:41:10.640 how many of the things, do this experiment, how many things do you believe that you actually live?

00:41:17.780 Start with your faith.

00:41:18.760 Do you actually live the faith that you preach?

00:41:27.980 How much of it are you missing?

00:41:30.460 How much of it are you leaving on the sidelines going, yeah, I'll get to that.

00:41:35.920 Scripture study for me is the hardest thing.

00:41:38.400 I didn't grow up in a family with scripture study.

00:41:40.400 We never did it.

00:41:42.060 And it is the hardest thing for me.

00:41:43.780 I have made a goal that I'm going to end my day every day with scripture study.

00:41:51.460 My secondary goal is to start my day with scripture study too.

00:41:55.800 But every day I go to bed and I listen to my scriptures.

00:42:02.460 Little baby step.

00:42:04.560 Little baby step.

00:42:05.600 We just have to have like a, I don't know, do we need a code of conduct?

00:42:17.180 Is that what we need?

00:42:19.420 Are we at that point to where we, I mean, I am.

00:42:22.820 I need a list of things I have to do every day.

00:42:26.920 I just, I would like to, this is one of the goals of the torch,

00:42:31.780 to help you be a little better every day,

00:42:34.960 to give you the tool, whatever it is in your life,

00:42:39.780 that empowers you to learn something new every day,

00:42:43.700 to get just a little better.

00:42:48.500 I can dream big.

00:42:50.540 I can dream huge, huge dreams.

00:42:53.360 I have no problem.

00:42:54.240 Stu just went to the Sphere in Vegas and I was there.

00:43:00.240 And he said to me this morning,

00:43:01.780 I sat in the Sphere and I thought,

00:43:03.660 good Lord, what could Glenn do with this place?

00:43:07.240 Because I can dream big.

00:43:09.100 I am not good at the little stuff.

00:43:12.220 I'm really bad at the little stuff.

00:43:15.480 And I think that's part of my problem that I deal with,

00:43:19.680 is I am not good at the small stuff.

00:43:23.900 And it's the small stuff that matters.

00:43:26.240 Dream big.

00:43:28.020 Think small.

00:43:28.760 Here's the little stuff.

00:43:35.200 Study the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and your state laws.

00:43:39.200 Rights are not inherited and not taught through osmosis.

00:43:43.120 They're understood and defended.

00:43:45.700 And if they're not understood, they cannot be defended.

00:43:48.500 And every right comes with a duty to obey the law,

00:43:52.100 to respect other people's freedoms,

00:43:53.620 and to carry the weight of liberty.

00:43:55.220 Here's a little thing.

00:43:59.200 Vote in every single election, not just the presidential one.

00:44:01.660 School board, city council, state legislature.

00:44:03.660 These are the places that your daily life is shaped.

00:44:06.580 We don't pay attention to our towns,

00:44:08.600 and our towns are shaping our daily lives.

00:44:12.380 And if you don't show up,

00:44:13.760 somebody else is showing up and making that decision for your life.

00:44:19.800 Here's a little thing.

00:44:21.840 Be informed, not inflamed.

00:44:24.960 We live off the headlines.

00:44:36.240 We live off of what we just saw on X,

00:44:40.540 what we just saw on Instagram,

00:44:42.680 what just hit our Facebook feed.

00:44:44.940 That's the worst way to live our life.

00:44:50.060 You know?

00:44:51.220 Read deeply.

00:44:52.660 Read deeply.

00:44:54.160 A responsible citizen will seek truth before an opinion.

00:44:58.160 We're seeking an opinion at the same time or before we get truth.

00:45:03.560 I just told my son this last night.

00:45:08.600 We were on the phone.

00:45:11.380 And he said,

00:45:12.320 Dad, I'm struggling with such and such.

00:45:14.000 And I said,

00:45:14.660 I get it.

00:45:16.800 I said,

00:45:17.360 but it's a distraction, son.

00:45:19.740 Choose your thoughts.

00:45:23.680 Choose your thoughts.

00:45:25.860 I'm not sure that I even understood that

00:45:33.900 when my dad told that to me

00:45:35.500 many, many, many, many, many years ago.

00:45:38.320 Because thoughts happen all the time.

00:45:40.500 We're constantly thinking.

00:45:41.900 We're having all kinds of thoughts.

00:45:43.520 And most of them, have you noticed,

00:45:44.680 are bad thoughts about ourselves.

00:45:47.280 Oh, I screwed that up.

00:45:48.440 Oh, I shouldn't have done that.

00:45:49.520 Oh, I should have done this.

00:45:51.420 Oh, you're just this or that.

00:45:53.740 Or if people only knew.

00:45:54.980 Whatever.

00:45:55.280 Whatever your thoughts are,

00:45:57.060 I'm never going to make it.

00:45:58.640 I'm so tired.

00:46:00.960 Choose your thoughts.

00:46:04.540 Part of civics is to get control of ourselves.

00:46:09.380 It's not just control of the country.

00:46:11.320 It's control of ourselves.

00:46:12.660 We have such responsibility.

00:46:14.040 And we fail on so many things.

00:46:23.200 And I'm speaking about me, not you.

00:46:25.280 I think more bad thoughts about myself

00:46:30.380 than I think I do good thoughts on a regular basis.

00:46:34.700 I think about my failures more than I think about my success.

00:46:38.160 I think about the things I should have done

00:46:40.060 or should not have done

00:46:41.600 more than the things I did do that were right.

00:46:43.980 And that leads to misery.

00:46:47.080 I look at myself in the mirror and I'm like, 1.00

00:46:48.880 oh, you fat old man. 0.98

00:46:50.840 I think of that every day. 1.00

00:46:52.900 Why?

00:46:53.960 Why?

00:46:56.760 That doesn't lead to anything good.

00:47:02.920 Look at what we fill our head with just on the internet.

00:47:05.820 Look at what we fill our head with online

00:47:07.840 and shows we watch and everything else.

00:47:09.640 We're just poison all the time.

00:47:12.180 Poison, poison, poison, poison.

00:47:15.340 Thoughts are creative.

00:47:17.900 Thoughts build.

00:47:20.420 Thoughts build who you are.

00:47:22.960 Why do I look at myself

00:47:29.140 instead of saying good things about myself?

00:47:32.560 Wow, you still have more hair than most people your age.

00:47:36.760 All I can see is,

00:47:38.220 oh my gosh, all my hair is falling out.

00:47:39.740 How come we choose?

00:47:44.080 Because you're going to create.

00:47:45.680 That thought is going to create something.

00:47:49.720 Why not choose the thought

00:47:51.420 that is going to empower us

00:47:53.060 instead of dismantle us?

00:47:57.720 We're not guardians on our own thoughts at all.

00:48:01.400 You know, when you get up in the morning,

00:48:02.760 what's the first thing you do?

00:48:05.240 What is the very first thing you do?

00:48:07.540 For me,

00:48:10.400 I go immediately to my email

00:48:13.400 and I check my show prep.

00:48:16.420 I get it at about 2 o'clock in the morning.

00:48:19.060 And so sometimes if I'm up at 2 or 3,

00:48:20.880 I go through it then.

00:48:22.320 But if not,

00:48:23.380 I wake up at 4 o'clock

00:48:24.640 and the first thing I do.

00:48:27.400 What a bad habit that is.

00:48:29.600 I haven't even given myself a chance

00:48:32.120 to think a thought on myself.

00:48:34.900 I haven't thought of anything.

00:48:37.980 I'm letting the world now dictate

00:48:40.360 my first thought.

00:48:42.400 Whatever is on that screen,

00:48:44.240 that's what I'm thinking about.

00:48:46.400 That's not healthy.

00:48:48.000 That's not good.

00:48:49.040 I'm trying to get to a place

00:48:52.520 to where I can think of,

00:48:54.200 before I do anything,

00:48:55.400 think of three things you know

00:48:56.900 are absolutely true about God.

00:48:59.480 Three things you know are true about God.

00:49:02.540 Start your day just with that

00:49:04.300 because then everything that happens afterwards,

00:49:07.240 you're like,

00:49:07.560 yeah, but I know God is in charge.

00:49:09.060 So, I mean,

00:49:11.080 choose your thoughts.

00:49:15.220 Change your life.
