00:00:00.000 Behind our nation's defense is a powerful network of Canadian communities,

00:00:03.920 supported by Lockheed Martin Canada.

00:00:06.240 It's a network of over 1,300 employees and over 1,000 local suppliers,

00:00:10.880 from small family businesses to major tech firms.

00:00:14.160 Together, we've delivered a $3.6 billion boost to the Canadian economy over the past five years.

00:00:20.000 That's money that goes to securing our skies, our oceans, and the place we call home.

00:00:25.240 Learn more at LockheedMartin.com slash Canada.

00:00:30.000 all right on today's podcast the clear choice in this election you know people are fretting

00:00:39.280 and freaking out i actually think i mean i might fret and freak out you know next tuesday but a

00:00:44.040 week from it i actually think this is a good test of america i mean we are um we have a clear choice

00:00:50.780 in front of us now what does the rest of the nation think about that clear choice that's what

00:00:55.460 we're going to see but the clear choice in this election is where we start in the full show we

00:01:00.400 went on to take callers who are democrats who are voting for republicans this time around because

00:01:05.180 they just can't do it mainly from michigan then speaking of michigan we go to obama phobia somebody

00:01:12.680 needs to define phobia when especially when we're talking about is islamic phobia so we do that and

00:01:19.500 Generation X to the rescue? Yeah. Watch out because you can put an eye out. You don't want to miss it. 0.98

00:01:36.360 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:40.340 so yesterday my absentee ballot came in my absentee ballot is here and i got a vote

00:01:50.660 and i was i was looking down this and i thought you know this is perhaps the most important i

00:01:57.020 say this every time and i hate it but it gets more and more true it's the most important election of

00:02:03.120 my lifetime and it is probably the clearest one in my lifetime and people are having a hard time

00:02:11.380 i don't know why i should vote it's clear it is so clear to me by the way

00:02:17.520 it's hard to argue if you look around the rest of the world it's hard to argue where the world

00:02:24.540 is going uh saturday british columbia one of the most progressive places in north america

00:02:29.920 threw out its NDP government

00:02:32.420 and elected its first conservative majority

00:02:34.680 since 1928.

00:02:38.000 I mean, I can't believe,

00:02:39.600 I grew up right south of British Columbia.

00:02:42.760 And I got to tell you,

00:02:44.440 that place has never,

00:02:45.220 that's always been a liberal madness.

00:02:47.020 I mean, now it's really liberal madness.

00:02:49.060 But first conservative since 1928?

00:02:52.660 The premier called a snap election

00:02:54.740 expecting to win bigger.

00:02:56.320 He resigned that night.

00:02:57.460 um in france after a week of teenagers you know burning cars in the streets and then marxists

00:03:04.680 coming out and everybody knowing the latest polls for marine le pen are 35 to 37 percent

00:03:11.280 for next year's presidential race and climbing south america chile elected caste bolivia after

00:03:18.620 20 years of socialist went center-right honduras peru colombia one after another they're falling

00:03:24.200 like dominoes. I wonder if getting rid of USAID had anything to do with that. And yesterday,

00:03:30.200 Brazil went the other way, or two days ago, they went the other way. Lulu won a fourth term,

00:03:36.060 roughly 52 to 48. Now, the guy who lost, Flavio Balancero, says that he's taking it to the courts.

00:03:45.040 He wants the courts to throw it out. Even the New York Times says what happened with the extending

00:03:51.580 of the vote by Lulu, it's fishy. Doesn't mean it was thrown, but it should at least be looked at.

00:03:58.440 Anyway, all over the West, people are watching their own streets, while television says it's

00:04:03.540 mostly peaceful, and it's not. And they're seeing it, and they're starting to believe their eyes

00:04:09.480 instead of the talking heads. Now, in America, I have been telling you for years, for years,

00:04:18.760 Marxists and Islamists are working their way into the Democratic Party.

00:04:22.020 And for years, they denied it.

00:04:24.880 What's amazing is they don't deny it anymore.

00:04:27.500 In fact, they've printed it.

00:04:29.660 This summer, the Democratic Socialists of America released their 2026 platform.

00:04:34.300 Not a rumor, not a leak, not a conspiracy.

00:04:36.780 Their own document and published it online.

00:04:39.960 You can go see it.

00:04:41.680 What are they asking for?

00:04:43.300 To abolish the Senate.

00:04:46.040 Democrats, is that you?

00:04:48.260 Is that really, is that you?

00:04:51.120 Fold Congress into one bigger chamber and abolish the Electoral College.

00:04:56.400 Replace the president and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.

00:05:05.640 Their stated goal is a new constitution.

00:05:09.940 Democrats, is that what you want?

00:05:13.040 Now you can say, well, they're just, they're not fringe.

00:05:15.740 They are not fringe anymore.

00:05:18.260 i mean how many excuses first they aren't saying that that's not who they are then they are in the

00:05:25.440 party look they're winning all these elections look they just wrote this stuff down a new

00:05:31.260 constitution is what they're after and an overthrow of our system and now you're saying well they're

00:05:37.000 just fringe you're gonna run out of excuses and i hope you run out of them fairly soon because

00:05:42.920 they're gaining more and more power while you're making excuses. Their co-chair went on television

00:05:48.440 and confirmed it item by item. Abolish the state? Yes. Or sorry, the Senate? Yes. Replace the

00:05:55.980 presidency and the court? Yes. Abolish ICE? Absolutely. Open borders? Yes, it's a long-term

00:06:03.520 plan. One room. No Senate to say, hold on. No president to veto. No court that answers to

00:06:10.060 anyone but the room. Whoever wins the room wins everything, including the power to pick judges

00:06:18.100 who are supposed to judge the room. Now listen to the mainstream media

00:06:24.920 and listen to the mainstream of the party. So Eric Swalwell says if Democrats take the house,

00:06:35.320 they'll go after universities, entertainment companies, and law firms that cut deals with

00:06:42.440 this administration. He says, and he's not alone, accountability is coming. And he and Slotkin

00:06:51.040 hope it deters people. Susan Rice promises accountability for anyone who took the knee.

00:06:58.540 the house democratic leader reminds everyone the statute of limitations is five years so if

00:07:05.460 somebody committed a crime i want you to prosecute it if anyone in the trump administration actually

00:07:11.960 committed a crime i want it punished i want the elected people to be held accountable

00:07:17.480 but punishing a company for working with an elected government is not accountability

00:07:24.920 it's a note to every business in america next time you better pick the right side

00:07:31.660 it's fear tactic it's what marxists do and outside the capital people are planning

00:07:39.140 we know this we have them on tape saying it activists have published calls for a national

00:07:45.240 council of former governors former military officers and organizers all done by some of

00:07:52.400 the former heads of USAID, 0.53

00:07:55.060 the agency that was the head of color revolutions

00:07:58.900 all around the world, 0.97

00:08:00.160 and their playbooks are telling people

00:08:02.460 with military ties how to slow walk orders

00:08:06.380 and tell blue state governors

00:08:08.300 to get their guard out first.

00:08:11.200 Now, they say this is going to be nonviolent,

00:08:13.280 but they also said that about BLM and France.

00:08:16.360 So, but if you look at the shape of it,

00:08:18.920 Politicians at the top, radicals at the bottom, people inside with the uniform, top down, bottom up, inside out.

00:08:32.060 Then there's the future itself.

00:08:34.880 Bernie Sanders and AOC won a national moratorium on AI data centers.

00:08:43.180 New York already passed one, and it's popular.

00:08:45.160 Some Republicans are running on this one, too, because nobody wants a bigger power bill or a hum outside their bedroom window, and those are real complaints.

00:08:53.500 But the answer to a real complaint is make them bring their own power and pay their own way, not stop building while China keeps pouring concrete.

00:09:02.480 Now, one vision says American economy should grow and lead for another century.

00:09:08.360 That is the conservative vision.

00:09:10.060 The other, degrowth. The West had its turn and should manage its own decline. Degrowth. Stop making more energy. Stop all progress on any technology. I have to tell you, this is the election I've waited for in many ways. I wish the Republicans were better at, I don't know, even having an opinion on stuff.

00:09:33.240 But the choice has never been clearer.

00:09:35.800 Even if you say the Republicans, I mean, look, not every Republican is a good guy.

00:09:40.460 Not every Democrat is a bad guy.

00:09:43.840 And there are millions of Democrats that I think love this country.

00:09:47.580 And it's unfair to paint a party on either side with one brush.

00:09:53.360 A lot of good people.

00:09:58.240 But the Democratic Party has a direction.

00:10:00.740 One is moving fast towards Marxism and globalism, and the other one isn't.

00:10:12.300 You know, I wish the Republicans stood for something, because I don't know what they stand for.

00:10:20.360 They're just simply against the left, and that's not enough.

00:10:23.180 That's not enough.

00:10:24.200 I know what the president stands for.

00:10:26.160 I happen to agree with the president, and you may not.

00:10:29.260 But he's at least moving us towards a future of growth.

00:10:37.340 And you have to have vision.

00:10:39.100 He has it.

00:10:40.360 He, unfortunately, doesn't have anybody in the White House who can articulate it and actually put the story out so people can understand it.

00:10:47.800 And the Republicans do nothing.

00:10:50.120 And so they don't really have a vision.

00:10:52.040 But I have to tell you, standing still or marching towards socialism, Marxism, and a unicameral system and a new constitution, I'll stand still every day.

00:11:06.700 You know, the Marxists, whatever else you want to say about them, they at least know what they want.

00:11:11.340 They wrote it down, and they're fighting for something.

00:11:14.140 What are we fighting for?

00:11:16.740 Because I don't want to go back to the Reagan years.

00:11:19.060 We had our problems in the Reagan years.

00:11:22.040 I guess I'm fighting for a time where equality means something.

00:11:35.620 It doesn't mean equality to this person, but not for you.

00:11:39.940 I want to go back to a place where we can still disagree and still be friends and countrymen.

00:11:45.720 i mean there's a lot to fix in the country but if we don't fix that you know my dad used to say

00:11:54.500 i disagree with that guy so hard but i'll fight for his right to believe it and say it every time

00:11:59.580 i'll fight and die for it he could say that because we stood on the same foundation

00:12:05.740 the declaration of independence the constitution and the bill of rights

00:12:09.620 we argued about the road not the destination

00:12:13.640 a country can can survive any argument about how to get there but it can't survive an argument

00:12:22.040 about whether or not to go there that that that ship sailed long ago life liberty pursuit of

00:12:29.100 happiness declaration constitution bill of rights that's we used that used to bind us it doesn't

00:12:34.420 anymore now i know there are democrats within the sound of my voice right now that still believe in

00:12:39.440 those documents as written. I just don't know who they are because they're quiet about it.

00:12:46.620 I know the DSA doesn't believe in, they've said so, they want to get rid of those things.

00:12:55.020 So I think this is so clear as an election, I just don't know. If you want to save the Republic,

00:13:01.680 the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the free market, knowing that all of those things

00:13:06.760 are flawed. It's a total mess. We have a lot of work that we have to do. But if you want to say

00:13:12.440 those things, you must vote. And it's clear who you vote for. And if you believe what the DSA wrote,

00:13:20.680 one chamber, new courts, new constitution, then this is your election too. Vote. Put your name on

00:13:28.240 it. Honestly, this is the argument. The argument has been hiding behind soft words for so long.

00:13:35.000 This is the argument I've wanted to have for so long, but they would never come out, never come out and say it.

00:13:41.400 They'd always, they would always just be hiding behind, that's not what we mean, that's not, we love a constitution.

00:13:47.020 Well, now we know, because it's on their page.

00:13:50.800 Put both visions on the ballot and let America decide, out in the open.

00:13:54.160 the thing i don't know about america is do

00:13:59.760 do enough americans believe they mean the dsa and the islamist do they believe they actually mean

00:14:12.200 what they say because it's hard because most of them have spent 20 years saying that's not what

00:14:19.240 we want. That's not who we are. You misunderstand. It was right there. You just had to know what

00:14:24.940 they were saying in their conferences and behind the scenes, but it was right there. But now it's

00:14:29.260 clear on their own website. They're saying it on television. Are there enough Democrats anymore

00:14:39.520 that don't believe in that stuff? Are there enough Democrats? Do you want that? Do you want

00:14:47.380 a new constitution, an end to the free market? I don't. I don't. But if you can't see the

00:14:57.680 direction that it's headed now, with it printed on their own website, what will it take? What

00:15:03.160 will it take? Does it matter if America becomes a socialist country anymore? Because a lot of

00:15:09.060 people say, no, I do. I think it matters a lot. Does it matter if what you see in Paris is showing

00:15:15.840 up in your neighborhood on your streets because i think it does and that's marxist and islamists 0.99

00:15:22.620 and there's no doubt about it anymore even the french government is saying that 0.79

00:15:26.840 does it matter if the american experiment goes on or is it just time to try something new because

00:15:34.800 this doesn't work and so we're not really going to try something new we're going to

00:15:38.660 try something that has failed over and over again but those are the questions on the ballot

00:15:43.880 and when it's over i just want an honest count i just want a fair honest count that's all i want

00:15:53.580 i don't really care who wins or loses i mean i do but i if it's an honest count i can live with it

00:16:00.680 because if it's an honest count the next day i can get up and go wow we got kicked in the teeth

00:16:06.420 and i'll go back and make the argument and try to figure out a better way to convince people

00:16:11.740 That's what Americans have always done.

00:16:17.660 If your side loses, I hope that you'll do the same. 0.95

00:16:20.880 If my side loses, I hope we do the same.

00:16:27.000 But today is the day we have to make the commitment and say, I'm going to go vote.

00:16:31.560 I'm going to go vote.

00:16:32.620 I'm going to drive a neighbor.

00:16:34.060 You have to do everything you can, and then God will take care of the rest.

00:16:37.340 But you are required to do everything you can.

00:16:41.580 Have you called your kids and asked them if they have a plan to go voting?

00:16:46.280 Because America chooses next Tuesday.

00:16:53.020 More in a minute.

00:18:06.500 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:18:13.660 OK, so let me take you back to last Sunday.

00:18:18.460 The president was making some real waves during a speech.

00:18:21.440 He was in Port Huron, I believe, in Michigan on Sunday. 0.82

00:18:24.960 and he said something uh that he he warned that if el saeed and the democrats win they will open

00:18:32.640 the floodgates and invite hordes of jihadis to our shores creating a nightmare of violence and

00:18:38.120 terror until you cannot even have christmas okay is that the way i would phrase no but let's look

00:18:44.760 at this for a second if the democrats win they will open the floodgates does anybody i mean it

00:18:48.940 is their intention to go back and open the borders again they have said it get rid of ice

00:18:57.500 what will that in effect do it will open our shores to jihadis and creating a nightmare of

00:19:07.100 violence and terror yeah probably look at i mean we just had another attempt at a hijacking what

00:19:13.640 was that yesterday i mean we are we are in trouble and thank god our fbi is on top of it

00:19:21.440 our department of justice is on top of it now you can't have a christmas okay i

00:19:28.160 again not what i would have said but is that a reach yes is it too far of a reach i don't think

00:19:37.380 it is, if you know what the jihadis want. He called El Saeed a jihadist Muslim Brotherhood

00:19:43.980 member. Then he pointed to the Republican candidate, Mike Rogers, and said, call him

00:19:48.740 apple pie. He's like central casting. Okay. The New York Times wrote this article and all it said

00:19:55.880 was Islamophobic stereotypes, Islamophobia, Islamophobia. Nine days from the election and

00:20:01.300 their closing pitch is fear. And why do I say that? They say that Donald Trump is pitching fear,

00:20:08.580 Islamophobia. But let's define phobias, okay? A phobia is an irrational fear. Keyword, 0.94

00:20:18.800 irrational. If you're in constant fear of spiders, and there are no spiders in the room,

00:20:25.700 you know if you're afraid of cars but you're never around cars those would be phobias 0.89

00:20:32.320 the word islamophobia was built to do a single job to take any concern about anything connected 0.98

00:20:40.400 to islam and file it under an irrational mental defect that's what it was you're not wrong

00:20:48.320 you're not mentally sick 0.98

00:20:50.360 and your ideas

00:20:53.000 have to be silenced

00:20:55.240 and so that's the word they use

00:20:56.720 but is it irrational to worry

00:20:59.260 about a plan when people

00:21:01.020 making plans are telling you

00:21:03.320 it's their plan 0.90

00:21:04.840 Zaid Shakur

00:21:06.760 he's one of the best known imams

00:21:09.020 in America 0.93

00:21:09.900 he told the New York Times he still hoped

00:21:12.720 the United States would one day become

00:21:14.480 a Muslim country ruled by

00:21:17.040 Islamic law

00:21:18.640 That's Sharia law. 1.00

00:21:20.240 Anybody who understands Sharia law, you should not be like, 0.99

00:21:23.100 well, that's a neutral thing I'm okay with. 1.00

00:21:24.960 No, it's evil.

00:21:26.920 It is evil. 1.00

00:21:27.740 That is the political system inside of Islam. 1.00

00:21:34.220 Shiraz Waj, I think his name is, something like that.

00:21:38.780 It doesn't matter.

00:21:39.420 I mean, you're expecting to get a name pronunciation from me.

00:21:42.900 You're in the wrong business.

00:21:43.880 Anyway, he's a fixture on the stage of the largest Muslim conventions in this country.

00:21:50.500 He recently told an audience not to talk about Sharia yet.

00:21:56.760 I'm quoting, because we are not there yet. 0.97

00:22:01.080 Notice the word yet.

00:22:03.860 In Miami, an imam on a Friday sermon streamed live on Facebook,

00:22:09.880 told his congregation that we're not here to kill anybody we want people to choose sharia

00:22:17.480 no no over my dead body will we choose you cannot be a free people i'm sorry i don't want to be iran 0.99

00:22:27.200 i don't want to be a levin in lebanon i don't want to be in any place where sharia law has 0.81

00:22:32.100 been implemented it is oppressive especially to women now in the federal trial the terror

00:22:39.580 financing trial that happened in Dallas, prosecutors entered a Muslim Brotherhood strategy memo

00:22:47.320 written for North America, I've shown it to you a million times, that described the work here 0.92

00:22:52.860 as eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within. That is a quote from the Muslim 1.00

00:23:01.060 Brotherhood. This administration has designed three branches of the Brotherhood as terrorist

00:23:07.840 organizations for backing Hamas. And it's not just here. Britain has Sharia councils ruling on

00:23:14.480 marriage and divorce. Its own government review found practices discriminate against women. Do you

00:23:20.820 think so? Noticing that Islam invites horrific treatment of women is not Islamophobic. To notice 0.91

00:23:32.660 that sharia law requires you to kill a homosexual is not islamophobic to be worried when an imam 0.97

00:23:42.420 around the west preach about an islamic takeover that's not an irrational fear it'd be crazy to 0.99

00:23:50.740 pretend not to see it if you had nazis living on your street and they were running and they were 0.92

00:23:56.060 gaining more power and they were infiltrating our government would it be irrational to say hey

00:24:00.520 The Nazis have a plan

00:24:02.540 They're stating it in their meetings 0.77

00:24:04.580 And they're infiltrating our government

00:24:07.300 And this is what they say

00:24:08.940 We're not going to be a Nazi government yet

00:24:11.260 It would not be irrational

00:24:13.560 So many people are afraid

00:24:19.420 To be called an Islamophobe

00:24:21.600 All you need to know

00:24:22.960 Is the definition of phobia

00:24:25.260 We have to be consistent 1.00

00:24:29.480 I reject Islamists because that's a political project. 1.00

00:24:35.580 The belief that religious law should sit above the law and the rule of law for everyone. 1.00

00:24:43.100 I'm not for. 0.99

00:24:44.480 I'm not for it from my church, your church, a synagogue, or a mosque. 1.00

00:24:49.660 No.

00:24:50.920 America, you are free to practice the faith of Islam, Catholicism, Mormonism, Baptist, whatever. 0.83

00:24:58.120 and live in peace but this is not the same thing millions of muslims know it and they know it 1.00

00:25:06.640 better than you do because of where they came from to get away from it and now they begged us 1.00

00:25:13.680 the muslim community begged us to stop the muslim brotherhood from coming in we didn't do it 0.99

00:25:19.200 we didn't want to be islamophobic now they're silent because they know who's in charge 0.99

00:25:25.480 You know, a woman who fled Iran doesn't need a lecture on Sharia law. 0.95

00:25:30.720 She has the scars.

00:25:33.500 Dr. Zutty Jasser, who's running for Congress, and I, man, if I lived in Arizona, I'd vote for him as often as I possibly could, which is once. 0.51

00:25:44.300 He has spent years fighting the Islamists inside of his own community, and they hate him for it.

00:25:52.280 He doesn't have an irrational fear.

00:25:54.900 it's a rational fear of an ideology. That's your duty. Now, hostility towards your neighbor

00:26:03.180 because of how he prays, that is discrimination. And the moment you confuse the two, you hand the

00:26:10.340 Islamist exactly what he needs. His whole recruiting pitch for a young American Muslim is 0.98

00:26:16.020 that America hates him and will never accept him. I accepted Barack Obama as president

00:26:24.880 of the United States.

00:26:28.000 It's a joke.

00:26:31.320 But every time one of us

00:26:32.740 treats the neighbor

00:26:33.780 like the enemy,

00:26:34.920 we write that recruiter's

00:26:36.140 next sermon for him.

00:26:37.320 So let me go back to Michigan.

00:26:39.680 Are there fair questions

00:26:41.280 about Abdul El Saeed?

00:26:43.620 Yes.

00:26:44.860 Yes.

00:26:46.260 Washington Free Beacon

00:26:47.300 just reported that his mother

00:26:48.840 was active in the Muslim Brotherhood

00:26:51.980 in Egypt before she immigrated.

00:26:53.440 and that old school media posts from his half-sister

00:26:57.820 appear to be cutting against his denials of any family ties.

00:27:01.720 So you got your sister and your mother.

00:27:04.880 Then he just shared the stage with a streamer who once said,

00:27:08.540 America deserved 9-11.

00:27:10.900 His politics are democratic socialist,

00:27:14.540 and that alone is worth fighting in every town, in every state.

00:27:20.280 but i don't know if you've heard the latest just this week because he's getting pushback from his

00:27:26.700 islamic supporters he was cozying up to a man did an interview with a man who called hamas

00:27:33.400 freedom fighters and said jews need to be sent back to poland

00:27:39.280 okay now el saeed interviewed by this guy because the interviewer was worried he's too soft

00:27:50.220 on israel we'll get back to that but even even with that there is no evidence that he's ever

00:27:56.280 personally be involved with a mother brotherhood he's denounced it publicly but so have all of the 0.53

00:28:02.180 marxist until recently you got to look at his actions he called hassan piker's comments dumb 0.59

00:28:08.980 and put distance between them

00:28:10.880 but i believe he's also shared a stage with him a man who is judged by what he does is important

00:28:21.980 his mother's past his sister's posts i don't know i don't know but at least it should play

00:28:30.060 a role in your calculus we live in a time where people are hiding behind masks and he has spent

00:28:37.140 far too much time with too many deep radicals. And while you're not your mom or your sister,

00:28:44.340 one does need to question how far does that apple fall from the tree.

00:28:51.180 So here's how you tell the difference between a rational concern from a phobia.

00:28:56.260 A phobia only asks the question of one kind of person. A principal asks that question of everyone.

00:29:05.820 so ask every candidate, Muslim, Christian, Jew, atheist, the same thing. Should any court in

00:29:13.440 America ever be ruled by religious law instead of the Constitution? The answer should always be 1.00

00:29:21.100 no. Will you protect the Muslim woman who wants to leave her faith or her marriage with the same 1.00

00:29:29.980 law that protects every other American? The answer to that should always be yes. Will you name the 0.95

00:29:36.680 Muslim Brotherhood Hamas and Hezbollah for what they are? The answer to that is yes, they're 0.97

00:29:41.740 terrorists. A good candidate of any faith can answer all of those questions in a heartbeat.

00:29:49.760 El Saeed squirms, which tells you everything you need to know.

00:29:55.760 So the president said, you know, if the other side wins, you can't even have Christmas.

00:29:59.980 Well, okay. Christmas is not protected. And it's not protected by keeping Muslims out of the Senate. It's protected by a constitution that lets the family down the street pray on Friday while letting you sing on December 25th.

00:30:17.120 And no imam, no bishop, no president can put a law above that.

00:30:24.180 Now, here's what he means.

00:30:26.520 What is happening all over Europe?

00:30:28.920 There are no-go zones.

00:30:31.160 They are bombing the Christmas villages.

00:30:35.540 The stated goal is very clear.

00:30:39.260 The question that you have to ask yourself is,

00:30:41.780 Do you feel comfortable enough with a man who is friends with Iranian radicals who actually served in the army for Iran and still believes that Iran is right, that advocates for Sharia law and all the Marxists?

00:31:03.280 i mean honestly i listened to him and his words are too close to the exact words of the ayatollah

00:31:10.440 khomeini in iran in 1979 and you know the ayatollah said the same thing but he didn't mean it the

00:31:17.320 question is does al-said and we have to ask that question while also saying the fight is not us

00:31:24.760 against them it is not the constitution against anyone or any faith or no faith it is the

00:31:33.020 constitution against anyone who sits, who wants to sit or have their faith sit above the

00:31:39.380 constitution. Fear that. That's not a phobia. That's the price of staying free. And the most

00:31:48.920 ironic thing about the whole discussion of phobia from El Saeed supporters, those same supporters

00:31:54.720 released an ad this week. I have to play for you in 60 seconds. Wait until you hear this.

00:32:03.020 this is the best of the glenbeck program and don't forget rate us on itunes

00:32:09.000 okay so a week from today america votes and i think you know we're looking at the polls i don't

00:32:22.180 know whether to trust the polls or not they could be spot on they can be completely wrong i don't

00:32:25.560 know i want to look at somebody who that nobody nobody bothers to call first and that's generation

00:32:31.800 x ricky our executive producer um and head of content here on the team she sent me a whole

00:32:40.340 buttload of research i was like oh she's making me read why can't you just tell me this stuff

00:32:46.240 ricky she's like i'm busy and i'm like okay but i'm busy eating macaroni and cheese in my underpants

00:32:52.420 why just call me and tell me anyway so i read through all of it um and she sent me all these

00:32:59.120 headlines that don't even pretend to be neutral why generation x is a superior generation okay i

00:33:05.160 got it i got it i got it but her numbers back it up in 2020 generation x leaned toward donald trump

00:33:12.120 by about a point in 2024 they moved harder than any other generation in the country roughly nine

00:33:19.840 points and carried him by double digits in some counts national review ai business insider they

00:33:27.100 all ran the same post-mortem this spring a left-wing blog looked at the midterm polling and

00:33:33.640 ran a headline and just asked this what is wrong with generation x now ricky's answer is my answer

00:33:41.340 nothing nothing everything else wobbled but generation x did not and you know the nice

00:33:49.700 thing about generation x and i've always considered myself generation x even though i'm a year before

00:33:54.160 generation x i've had more in common than with generation x than i do with the boomers but

00:33:59.460 anyway the nice thing about generation x is i don't know about you i can't be bothered to riot

00:34:06.100 about anything either way you know no street theater no soup on the paintings no gluing

00:34:12.780 ourselves to the highway i just i can't i it's not me i'm not interested we voted then we went

00:34:18.540 back to work. Okay. Now, again, I am part of the Jones, I think that's what they call the Jones

00:34:26.380 generation. The last 10 years of boomers is actually a different kind of mentality entirely.

00:34:34.100 But I say this as a neighbor, you know, kind of leaning over the fence, you know, 0.99

00:34:38.120 I think Ricky's right. And I think, you know, the reason is hiding in the name.

00:34:44.540 generation x i always thought it came from a novel in 91 it didn't actually it came from a war

00:34:52.600 photographer uh robert kappa i think his name was and he waded out into omaha beach on d-day and he

00:35:00.560 was carrying cameras instead of a rifle i mean the guy was nuts after the war in the early 1950s he

00:35:06.320 set out to photograph the young people that were coming of age in the rubble and he called the

00:35:12.120 project generation x you know not because x was cool but because x was a blank it meant unknown

00:35:19.660 generation that nobody had figured out yet so the name drifted uh and it became a british book

00:35:27.420 about teenagers they picked it up in 64 copy of it sat on the shelf of some english house and then

00:35:33.360 the son that grew up there named his punk band generation x the son that did that billy idol

00:35:41.720 Then a Canadian novelist put it on the book cover in 91, and it stuck.

00:35:45.760 So it's every generation born in America from 1965 to 1980. 0.81

00:35:51.760 Unknown X, which is exactly how Generation X was raised. 0.96

00:35:57.640 If you picture Generation X, a kid in 1978, mom is at work, often because she has to be. 0.83

00:36:05.360 The divorce rate has doubled between 1960 and 1980. 0.55

00:36:09.480 So the kid gets a house key on a shoelace.

00:36:12.680 It's hanging around his neck, the latch key, tucked underneath his shirt.

00:36:19.200 And all of this happened with the people that were growing up in the 70s and the 80s.

00:36:25.500 And the latch key actually came to use during the Second World War when dad was overseas and mom was building bombers.

00:36:33.280 The greatest generation, their children were the first to wear the key.

00:36:37.180 but their grandchildren put it back on by choice not their choice their parents choice many times

00:36:43.140 so the generation x kid gets off the bus at 3 15 lets himself in finds a note on the counter i

00:36:49.160 can't tell you how many times i saw this note dinner's in the fridge home at six don't touch

00:36:53.200 the stove and then we would promptly touch the stove and we'd make ourself a grilled cheese

00:36:59.060 sandwich and we'd watch gilligan's island repeats you know maybe we do our homework

00:37:04.260 we ride our bike across town

00:37:08.180 no helmet, no phone, no adult on earth

00:37:10.840 knowing where we are

00:37:12.160 all we had to know is the one rule

00:37:15.460 be home before the street lights come on

00:37:17.080 that's it

00:37:17.600 and every night the local station asked parents

00:37:20.880 it's 10pm

00:37:22.000 do you know where your children are?

00:37:25.440 and a lot of honest parents would have said

00:37:27.480 yeah, out

00:37:28.480 some place, are the street lights on yet?

00:37:32.300 but these are the kids

00:37:33.760 who saw missing children on their milk cartons at breakfast.

00:37:37.700 These are the kids who watched the Challenger lift off

00:37:40.860 in a classroom on TV with a teacher on board

00:37:44.920 and watched it all come apart.

00:37:47.580 These are the kids who saw a network movie in 1983

00:37:51.120 about nuclear fallout and nuclear war

00:37:53.480 wiping out a town in Kansas

00:37:55.080 and then went to school the next year

00:37:57.180 all freaked out by it.

00:37:59.840 And the country's message to them was clear.

00:38:03.220 You're on your own, kid.

00:38:06.220 Nobody told him, it's a tragic life you're living.

00:38:10.220 And so we didn't treat it like one.

00:38:11.840 Most of us growing up were poor-ish, maybe even poor, but we didn't feel it.

00:38:17.860 And we didn't feel our life was a challenge or, oh my gosh, poor me.

00:38:25.460 We didn't have any of that.

00:38:26.680 It wasn't charming.

00:38:27.600 a lot of kids that hung the key around they were very lonely and plenty of gen xers swore they

00:38:35.760 would never do that to their own children but look at what that childhood built the ones who 0.68

00:38:42.760 came through it you know a kid who the kid who has never watched learns to watch out

00:38:50.980 nobody coming to fix the bike chain so you have to learn how to fix it yourself

00:38:58.180 The grown-ups didn't have it together. 0.98

00:39:00.320 They sucked a lot of the time. 0.96

00:39:02.960 So, you know, he stops waiting for them to, I don't know, do whatever they do. 0.87

00:39:10.180 You know, boredom isn't a crisis.

00:39:12.440 You don't owe me an answer for, you know how bored I am?

00:39:15.620 Go out and do something.

00:39:17.400 It's a problem, and you solve it.

00:39:19.800 You know, a dirt lot, a couple of friends, you got a game.

00:39:27.280 They didn't have peanut allergies. I don't know.

00:39:30.800 But we were raised on late-night TV and first years of MTV.

00:39:36.860 You can smell a pitch from an ad man coming a mile away.

00:39:41.900 One AEI writer argued, after the election, Generation X knows irony.

00:39:46.880 They know when somebody is performing, and they like it when the performer winks.

00:39:52.740 a slogan won't move them

00:39:57.160 a hashtag doesn't move them

00:39:59.560 results and actual action does 1.00

00:40:02.120 and the women, Gen X feminism 1.00

00:40:04.540 garage band feminism 1.00

00:40:06.700 photocopied zines, punk records 0.96

00:40:11.140 do it yourself, stand on your own two feet

00:40:13.780 wasn't about choice, not about grievance 0.96

00:40:16.740 these were the women who raised themselves 0.99

00:40:19.320 right next to their brothers

00:40:20.900 and they never mistook the boy across the kitchen table

00:40:23.940 for an oppressor. 1.00

00:40:25.620 He was just the idiot who ate their last Pop-Tart. 1.00

00:40:30.380 And the men. 1.00

00:40:32.860 Well, let me show you something.

00:40:34.260 Ricky sent this to me in her stack of stuff

00:40:37.100 and I have to tell you,

00:40:39.860 this says everything.

00:40:43.620 Men could walk a runway in a flaming tangerine velvet suit

00:40:48.600 and still look like they could change your tire.

00:40:51.800 I want to run this.

00:40:52.880 Here we go.

00:40:53.940 So there's 1995 of you happen to be watching

00:40:55.820 on the left hand of your screen.

00:40:57.600 And the right hand is 2025.

00:40:59.280 And look at the difference between the men on the runway.

00:41:03.260 Okay?

00:41:05.160 Those guys are 45 to 60 years old.

00:41:07.820 And they're raising teenagers

00:41:08.960 and taking care of aging parents at the same time.

00:41:12.380 They got hit by 2008,

00:41:14.460 right before they were buying their first real house.

00:41:17.320 and then hit again by inflation in the peak earning years.

00:41:21.000 I mean, we always, as somebody who was born again,

00:41:23.800 just outside of it, 1964,

00:41:25.700 it seems like we always miss the good times.

00:41:28.400 We're just on the other side of the fence, okay? 0.90

00:41:31.640 They have been America's forgotten middle, 0.90

00:41:34.860 the forgotten middle child our entire lives.

00:41:38.680 And you don't, we're not whining about it.

00:41:42.440 Because everybody told us whining's not going to change anything.

00:41:46.860 Nobody's coming to save you, kid, so be the one who comes.

00:41:53.080 And that's not a sad idea.

00:41:56.220 I think it's why Generation X, many, I don't know.

00:42:05.200 I think it's why they believe in America.

00:42:10.920 It's the pioneer.

00:42:12.240 It's the farmer.

00:42:13.120 It's the volunteer fireman. 0.80

00:42:15.240 It's the woman who starts her own business at a kitchen table. 1.00

00:42:18.400 Gen X kids just learned it before they could reach for the top shelf. 0.90

00:42:24.220 And if you're younger, the great thing is it's not a club you're locked out of.

00:42:29.400 The key still works.

00:42:30.860 Put the phone in a drawer for an afternoon.

00:42:32.860 Fix something yourself before you go look up a video.

00:42:35.680 Try to figure it out.

00:42:37.180 Go somewhere without telling the whole internet.

00:42:39.940 you you you're going to find out you're a lot more capable than anybody has let you believe

00:42:46.100 you are robert kappa he called them x because nobody knew what they would become but now we know

00:42:52.420 the kids with the keys around their necks grew up to hold the keys to the house the business

00:42:58.680 the family and one week from today maybe they hold the key to the country

00:43:05.920 i know how the old hippies i mean you see the no kings protest they're all like in that i remember

00:43:12.840 and tie-dyed shirts and i'm out there now no kings and i think i just crapped my pants

00:43:19.020 gen x is going to walk into a booth and they're not going to have a sign they're not going to

00:43:26.300 have a speech they're not going to make a scene their hair most likely is the kind of hair that

00:43:33.620 they were born with it's not weird orange pink or blue and they'll make their mark turns out

00:43:41.540 x was never a blank it was a signature

00:43:45.220 i'm interested to see what gen x does are they still there it's going to be an interesting

00:43:55.700 tuesday all right i gotta go street lights are coming on soon so

00:44:03.620 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:44:08.180 hello america you know we've been fighting every single day we push back against the lies the
