The Glenn Beck Program - What the GOP Needs to Do to Avoid a Disastrous Midterm | Guests: Bethany Miller & Carol Roth | 9/3/26

Episode Date: September 3, 2026

President Trump announced his plans to speak at every political event ahead of the midterm elections. Will it help? Glenn argues that while it won’t hurt, Republicans have an uphill battle after failed promises and ongoing affordability struggles under GOP leadership. Actor Ryan Reynolds recently said he has little nostalgia for the 1980s, citing a lot of trauma and stress during that time. Glenn explains why Ryan Reynolds is both correct and incorrect. The jury in the Lindsay Clancy trial is back deliberating after members told the judge for the second time that they failed to reach a verdict. Why is our society failing to agree that killing your children should have consequences? Glenn discusses the conviction of a mother who let her 5-year-old walk to a pond. The Conservateur managing editor Bethany Miller joins to explain how the Lindsay Clancy trial is setting women back decades and the difference between understanding and affirming. Recovering investment banker Carol Roth joins to give a list of things you can do to help bring down the cost of living. Glenn reacts to the backlash after U.S. Commander of the United States Indo-Pacific Command Admiral Samuel Paparo discussed Canada in a recent interview.  Learn more about your ad choices.

And that's a lot. That's a lot.

35 Republicans are in trouble. Will this work? I don't know. But I want to lay out the decision before all of us here in just a second. First, let me tell you about relief factor. I actually had a meeting with the folks from relief. Just yesterday. You know what we talked about?

Probably shouldn't say, but we talked about you the whole time. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it was all good stuff. Don't worry. Honestly, it was all good stuff. We talked about how important it is to them that you're able to do the things that you want to do, whether it's, you know, your back every time you swing a golf club or your shoulder when you're digging in the garden or your knees when you're running or whatever.

The people at Relief Factor want, you know, you to be free of it. You know my story. The pain in my hands nearly made me quit my job. It was my pants, my hands were, I couldn't write anymore. And I liked to write. And it was, there was something going on with my body that was just so crippling. And it was all caused, we think, by inflammation. And I tried everything. I mean, I was on a diet with only 80 ingredients for like a year and a half. And it didn't help. Didn't bring. You know what? It broke it. Broke the back of this. Relief factor. still here talking to you.

You're hearing this. And if you're in pain, today is the day to make the change. Get the three-week quick start. It's 1776. See why so many people say Relief Factor. Game their life back, me included. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 804 Relief. You'll connect with their friendly local team,

and they'll do everything they can to help. That's Relieffactor.com, 800, the number four, relief. Okay, so last night, the president came out in the Rose Garden. he sat down with swing district Republicans in the Rose Garden, told him exactly what he intends to do. 30 days, final 30 days before November 3rd, 35 races. He asked Mike Johnson for the list. Everybody tied, everybody down.

Anybody up by a hair? He said he was going to go to every single one of them. He named a couple in particular. He named Ken Paxton in Texas. He spoke highly of Ken Paxton. He's like, you don't have to like the guy. But look at his policies. He was the best to turn.

General in the country, and I agree with that. He also named Dan Sullivan in Alaska, talked about the craziness that, I mean, these guys don't care what it takes to win. Do you know that they found another guy with the same exact name to put him on the ballot just to split the vote? Are you kidding me? They'll do anything. They'll do anything.

Now, will him going around the country work? I don't know. It certainly won't hurt. But at least, I have to be. to tell you, this guy just won't stop. Republicans have held the House and the Senate

and they didn't deliver what they promised. You noticed this spring in the primaries, you did something about it. You held them accountable. Some of them are not coming back. That is the system working exactly as designed. The primary is a room where we're supposed

to settle our differences. Once that room is closed, the ballots are printed. So the only question left is the one that will decide everything. Will Republican voters actually show up for candidates? They just fought so hard to nominate. And quite honestly, when the system spends as much money, the most money than ever before,

to defeat somebody like Ken Paxton, I don't know, that says something about him and the machine hating him. I kind of like that. That kind of, I would wear that as a badge of honor. Yeah, the machine tried to. to snuff me out because they're afraid of what I'm going to do because I won't play the game. You know, we fight it out in the primary.

We stand together. We're supposed to in November. And that's not a slogan. That's the difference between a family and the mob. We are not a mob. And I think there are some, not you, but I think there are some in this country that need to be reminded what's at stake. Go back two years ago. Do you remember what that felt like?

Do you remember what we thought right before the election that if this fails, we're toast. The country as we know it is over? We won. And then, this is two years ago. This is an ancient history. Two years ago, we all stood back and went, oh my gosh, look at what this guy is doing. Look at what he's doing. Without the help from Congress, without any cover, without a single thing handed to him,

with a press that is still hostile as hell. He accomplished more than any other president in my lifetime and perhaps a great deal longer. And yet, and this is true, you still feel it at the grocery store. You're feeling it at the gas pump. When the mortgage quote comes back, you laugh out loud because, like, that's not right, right? Right? That sting is real. And nobody gets to tell you it isn't.

But here's what else is real. everybody keeps saying that Congress has to codify what this president has done or it all snaps back to the way that it was. And that's true. And much of that begins snapping back five months from now if we lose the House and the Senate. You've got to remember, most presidents coast through the last two years. Gold Watch, library plans, long weekends. It's a lame duck. He's not going to do anything.

the question is whether his final two years are spent working because he won't. He's not going to gold watch it. He'll work or spent under subpoenas and arguments and a press going after him even more. Do we hand them the gavels and let the rest of his presidency become nothing but hearings and impeachments and investigations to anything he's ever done, everything he's ever thought of, anything he's ever said or anything he might want to do in the future? and then there's the court. There's going to be a vacancy. One, maybe more.

Somewhere between next year and five years from now. And that's just arithmetic. It's not speculation. It's arithmetic. Are you prepared to hand that seat to the Senate who can't define a woman who won't say plainly

that Marxism is wrong in the wrong direction for this country? You and I are going to be gone someday, but that seat will still be there deciding. Now, Republicans could make this easier on everybody and themselves if they would just remember a few things. And actions always speak louder than words, and you've had two years of non-action. They're not likely to pass anything meaningful between here and November. So at a minimum, they might just relearn how to talk like human beings. Here, Mr. Speaker, give us something

to vote for. Oh, time's up for. that. Everyone with an R next to their names this fall, here's what people need to hear. First, say the word affordability. Can you say it? Can you say it? Say it like a man who's seen a receipt at a grocery store from time to time. When a candidate waves that off or argues over who invented the word or explains that groceries

cost what they cost, he's not sparring with a Democrat. He's contradicting a mom in the checkout. who has just put the meat back because she can't afford it for her kids. Don't argue with her. Tell her, I know, I see it. Here's what I'm doing. Here's what we're going to do.

And here's when it should pay off. The other thing, stop running against 2021. You could be entirely right about how we got here and still lose. Because nobody's asked who broke it. We know who broke it. But that's beyond the point. who's going to fix it? Talk about housing.

It's the number one concern of Americans under 35 and men under 50. The very people who came out two years ago and are now being told be patient, be patient. Be patient for what? Tell me how you're going to fix it. A 28-year-old who can't ever imagine owning a home is not a polling problem. That's a citizen losing faith in the whole arrangement. I know we have, but somebody better start expressing a better answer. And here they are. Build, permit. Get the hell out of the way.

Get the government out of the way. Let people fix things. Talk about energy like it's the price of everything because it is. The freight, the fertilizer, the food, the flight home for Christmas. It's everything. Do you know that the Republican in Michigan running against Al-Said? Mike Rogers is his name. He's running ads of him in a hard hat in a factory, pointing at things that you can't see on the screen while shaking his head as if he's listening to the guy from the plant and the other hard hat. I got to tell you, what is it? 1985? I am so sick and tired of this. Here's what you need to do. Show up. Listen first and then respond like a real human being. Mean what you say and say what you mean. People will forgive almost anything for. from people who actually show up and say, I screwed that up.

You know, I got to tell you, some of us saw this a long way off. You were in this fight in 2016. You were probably standing in a parking lot with a homemade sign with your children in 2010. You remember saying out loud, they're a radical Islamist who mean every word they say. There's Marxists inside our own institutions who mean every word. And you remember the laughter from everybody. You're paranoid. You're fringe. Sit down. Oh, Red Scare. Well, they're here now, and they're not hiding.

And they'll tell you their name. They'll tell you what they believe. They'll tell you exactly what they intend to do with this country. They put it on a website. They say it into a microphone and a camera smiling. And you're tired and you're discouraged. I know. You've been let down by people who've had your vote and then squandered it. Understand what that is. is. They don't have to, they no longer have to change your mind. They only have to stop breaking our heart, honestly, because they do it. They break your heart over and over and over again. And when they break your heart, then they break your will. They break you down. And somebody who is tired and discouraged, they don't have to be beaten. Their discouragement beats it. I want to tell you about a country that had every reason to quit, every reason to quit.

And I'll show you the way out because we've been here before in 60 seconds. First, our sponsor is real estate agents. If there's one thing I hope I've earned from you, it is, I hate even saying this because I never asked for your trust, because anybody who asked you for your trust, I don't know. I don't trust them. But hopefully I've earned the benefit of the doubt. Not that you always will agree with me, and I certainly. hope that you don't. But when I put my name behind something, I've taken that seriously. It's the

reason I started the whole real estate agents I trust.com. This is my company. And the name is a promise. That's why I named it that. I wanted everybody to remember in the company, this is the real estate agent that Glenn says he trusts. Make sure that it is somebody, Glenn, can say to somebody, I trust this person. So we work really hard. And this is one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. And if you're trying to sell your home or you're trying to buy a home, you need somebody that you can trust that knows the area, knows the market, knows how to negotiate, knows how to sell a house in this market, knows how to buy a house in this market. You know, and in the end, you go, that was fair. That was good. You looked out for me.

Thank you. I'm glad I trusted you. Real estate agents. I trust.com. We'll show you the right way to do it. We'll introduce you to the people who you can trust as well because we've vetted them. We know them. We watch them every single day. Real estate agents, I trust.com.

Real estate agents I trust.com. 10 second station ID. Okay, so let me tell you what happened in 1939. There were two dictators sitting in a room in Moscow and they carved up Europe on a piece of paper. and they attached to that treaty a secret map. And on the wrong side of it were three small nations in the Baltic Sea. They were never conquered in war. They were just traded in a back room by men who had never been there.

Then came 50 years of it. Their flags illegal, their songs illegal. Their farmers and their teachers and their pastors put on trains in the middle of the night. And when they said, we know what you did. There's a document. Moscow said, there's no document. There's no, you're imagining this. In the summer of 1988, the Estonians began gathering in a field outside their capital where their grandparents had held song festivals for a century. And they sang the illegal songs night after night. Something close to a quarter of the entire country was standing in fields and singing.

August 23rd, 1989, 50 years to the day since those two men signed, 2 million people in three countries walked out of their houses and they held hands. A line of human beings 400 miles long. Did you know this? It's 1989. No weapons. Nobody on a stage. Grandmas, farmers, children.

Just shoulder to shoulder all across the highway. Everybody holding hands. No gap. Four months later, Moscow admitted, Okay, that document was real. Two years after that, all three were free, and they never fired a shot. They didn't out-argue an empire. They out-showed an empire.

A chain like that has no strong link. It just has enough hands, or it doesn't. Every single person on that road was the whole thing. That's you. That's this. Find it again. Whatever it was that got you off the couch the first time, this is never going to be clean.

A republic never is. That's the entire reason Franklin said, are giving you a republic if you can keep it, because keeping it is hard. It's messy. It's full of switchbacks and disappointments and people who let you down. And this is still the finest thing human beings have ever built, even with all those problems.

And it's worth every bit of the trouble. How many of us are determined to keep it? I mean determined to keep it. Determined to be free. To lightly paraphrase JFK, so ask not whether they've earned your vote. Ask whether your children have earned your courage. You are the one that will make the difference here.

Not a consultant, not a war room. You. do one thing. Find one person who isn't planning on vote. One person who says, nah, I can't vote for these clowns anymore. Remind them what it was like two years ago. Remind them there is one guy who's listening to you doing his best in there every day trying to get it done all alone against all odds who's changed your life and your outlook from two years ago. And he's about to be completely alone. You not showing up. What are you going to do? He's already alone. He's already got everybody. Now you're going to put sharks in the water all around him.

Get them to vote. Get them to commit. Not, I'll think about it. Not a day, a time, a ride. We're going together. Find that person. Find the hand next to you and take it and then go. I'm so sick of these people.

It's like they don't care as much as you do. It's like this is a game to them. It's not a game to me and it's not a game to you. It's not even our job. It's our honor. It's our duty. It's our hope for our children. Anybody who is playing the game, just tell them.

Pipe down. Pipe down. This isn't a game. This is not a contest. This is not a punishment. Who are you punishing? Who are you punishing? punishing Republicans?

Well, I don't like that they didn't put John Cornyn in, so I'm not going to... Who is punished here? The people. And if the people lose, the country loses. You disenfranchise us more. There's nothing left. Have you seen what's happening to us? Next hour, I'm going to talk to you about what's happening with men and women.

They are being divided by this stupid murder. case in Boston. And now men are starting to look at women going, I don't know if I can trust you, are you going to kill my kids? Everything has been turned against each other. Everybody is suspecting one another. There's not going to be a country left. Recognize that.

This is a choice each of us makes in our own lives. You're either going to be part of that game or you're going to be part of solving it. And boy, it is it is so hard to vote for these people because they have wasted two years. But what is your alternative? I, for one, would like another two years before the Marxists come marching in.

Because if you don't think the Red Green Alliance is real, I think you might be beyond help. But keep listening for a while, We'll show you the receipts because they're everywhere. That's what's really going on. That's what that speech was really all about. Now, let me take on something lighter, kind of. Next.

First, let me tell you about cozy earth. One of the great luxuries in your life is canceling something. You know that feeling. You're supposed to go someplace and plans change and suddenly you realize, I don't have to leave the house. I can put something comfortable on. I can get into bed, early, nobody is expecting me anywhere because I've just canceled it. It's like somebody handed you

three full hours of your life and you're like, do whatever you want. That's when you really appreciate cozy earth. Their pajamas, their lounge wear ridiculously soft. The comfort, their sheets, their bedding, same way. Everything they make seem designed around one simple idea. You should be extremely comfortable in your own home all the time. Once you own cozy earth, you're going to start looking for excuses to use it. It's 8 o'clock. I could get out of bed. I mean, but why? You put on actual pants. Sure, I could interact with other human beings or not. Head to cozyearth.com. Use the promo code Beck for 20% off their home and sleepwear.

So Ryan Reynolds, a Canadian, I'm sorry, just had to throw it. Ryan Reynolds has come out, and I love Ryan Reynolds. He's hysterical, but please don't wreck it by talking politics, Ryan. Here he is about the 1980s.

Listen to his take on the 1980s. What's interesting about when you get far enough away from a time period that's quite distinct, I think there's always a lovely feeling associated with. It's almost like you pave over all the trauma with like puppy dogs and ice cream. And the 80s was a brutal, brutal time for people. It was a fucking mess. And like, you know, people forget that it was like that was a tremendous strife, sociopolitical tensions everywhere.

You know, we're still like pretty fresh off like a Cuban missile crisis, which is only like, what, 15, 20 years before. So, you know, it's a tumultuous period. But you look back at it now and you're like, oh yeah, top gun, cocaine. Like, no, it was like really scary. So I think, you know, I think when you look back at 2026 and this era, I think you're going to like pick on the big ticket items that don't really, didn't really leave the footprint culturally that you would think it would.

Like I don't know, so much of the aughts were like a mix of all the decades previous. Whereas the decades previous were their own thing. So I don't know. I wonder what it's going to be. It's going to be like, oh, the COVID era or something. I have no idea. No, you're probably right. It'll be rose-colored glasses.

Of course. We are living in the friggin salad days right now. We just don't know it. Interesting point of view. Look, he's probably right because you always look back on things years later and go, oh, those were the good old days. And he's right about the 80s were tough. But let me give you another point of view here.

Before I get to the tough part of the 80s, let me give you another point of view. Say it's Saturday, 1984. Garage door is open. The radio is on. Somebody's mother is standing on a porch, two houses down hollering a name, you know, into the dusk. That's how we know where children were. There was no way to locate children except for moms out going, Glenn! There was one phone.

It was in the kitchen. It was on the wall. It was in a color that they don't make anymore. I don't even know what that color is. The cord was long enough to reach into the pantry or into a closet, which was really the only place where every important conversation in America could take place. Nobody knows where you are. Nobody's worried about it.

You'll be home when the street lights are come on. Friday, you stand in front of a wall of video boxes for 40 minutes. And all the ones you want, even the one, number five, number six, if you were too late, all checked out. So you take home something worse and you're like, okay, I guess I'm going to like it. and Saturday you sit with your finger on the record, the record button, waiting for the DJ to quit talking if you were young enough so you could steal a song off the radio. That guy always talks too long.

So you get his voice on the tape forever and 40 years later, that's the version you hear in your head. And on a Monday night, February 1983, 106 million Americans sit down and watch the last episode of MASH. not a hundred and six million across the season, a hundred and six million people on one night, more than half the country, are all doing at the same hour, watching the same helicopter lift off the same hill,

and the next morning, there was nothing to catch up on because everybody had already seen it. And I got to tell you, I miss that more than I can tell you. But let me tell you something else that was going on on that street. About 25,000 Americans were killed by drunk drivers. And that was a punchline. It was a bit comedians did.

A man could be arrested for it four times and still have a license in his wallet. And almost nobody wore a seatbelt. Seat belts? I still have a hard time wearing a seatbelt because I grew up in the 70s. Seat belts. Fewer than one in six. Kids rode loose in the bed of a pickup. I was one of them.

Some of us didn't make it home. we got we when we moved on crack came into cities took a decade of men with it a disease showed up this country couldn't say out loud for years men died in hospital rooms where they were left with a food tray outside their door all alone and under all of it ran the hum that never shut off which was everybody's private understanding that the whole thing could be over in about 19 minutes it was november 1983 something close to a hundred million people watched a made-for-TV movie about a nuclear attack on Kansas. And then a lot of us sat up in the dark. Some can still tell you what chair they were sitting in when they watched it. Same decade, same street, same summer. The 3rd of May, 1980, a 13-year-old girl named Carrie Lightner walking to church to a church carnival with a friend in Fair Oaks, California.

car came up behind her driver was drunk he didn't stop he was a repeat offender been out on bail for two days from another hit and run somebody official had told her mother the man would probably not do any real time that wasn't cruelty that's just how it worked back then candy lightner had never registered to vote in her life she sold real estate four days later her daughter was killed one day after the funeral she started an organization at her kitchen table. Four years later, she stood next to the president in the United States where he signed the bill that raised the drinking age in all 50 states. 25,000 a year is now around 10.

And we drive twice the miles now. Do the math. And it comes out to a stadium full of people who are having dinner tonight because one mother said, no, you know, that's just how it works. No, that's not how it works anymore. You know, in the early 80s, there were three men at a British base at the bottom of the world pointing an old instrument to the sky over Antarctica, writing down how much ozone was up there. One spring, they wrote the number, and it came back wrong. Not a little wrong. A third of it was gone. They didn't call a press conference. They assumed their instrument was broken because, I mean, that's what a careful man assumes.

First, it's broken. So they get a second instrument. Same number. they waited an entire season to see if it would happen again. Then they waited another one. And then they finally published. And everybody went back and looked at the satellite data. And they've been seeing it, the satellite had been seeing it for years. The readings were so far below anything anyone expected that they had been, they'd set it aside because it was probably equipment. The machine had been telling this number.

and everybody went, that's got to be a mistake. Two years after that, a paper, every country on earth, sign that paper. Montreal Protocol, every one. There's not another treaty in the history of the United Nations that every single nation ratified. And the whole is closing, slowly. On schedule, it's closing. It's gone. So it wasn't better.

It was actually more dangerous. We're safer today than we were then. We were more poisoned in some ways, although let's check the food now. We're more frightened than the country we are standing in right now because most people are afraid to even look at it. Most news organizations are denying the problems even exist, so not enough people are awake to the problems and how big these problems are. And the 80s feel better because it's finished. We know the ending. We know the ending. It ended safely. But something was there that isn't now, and it isn't the mall.

106 million people watched the same show. When a story broke, it came out. All of us watched it from three different men in suits, and whatever you concluded about it, you were arguing over the same set of facts. Candy Lightner could go on television one time and reached the country. She couldn't do that today. Today she'd reach her slice,

and then other slices get told that she's a hysteric with an agenda. And a lot would be handed, you know, a reason not to listen to a mom whose daughter was just killed walking in a church carnival. We're not better people. We had fewer instruments. That's it. Everybody has his own instrument now. Do you know that over 30% of Americans now say they're an influencer or a podcaster? 30%? Give it a rest. I think we're a little out of control with our egos.

30% are influencers. Wow. We all have our own feed, our own numbers, our own weather. And the trouble with your own instrument is that nobody ever comes along and says, I think that might be broken. Those men at the bottom, those men who stood at the bottom of the world, got it right because they didn't trust themselves. They weren't trying to be influencers.

They went and they got a second instrument, and they check the reading against somebody else's before they believe their own eyes. I don't want 1984 back. I've seen the numbers. I'll keep it at 2026. I just want the instrument back. I want the other guy in the room. I want the person who says, hold on, hold on.

Mine says something different. Let's look again. And you do it together. That's not nostalgia. That's an appointment. That's Sunday dinner. That's a pew. That's a bleacher.

That's a driveway. That's one neighbor you disagree with. And you like the man. Anyway, we've always had problems. We've always had big problems. They seem lighter now because we got through them and we saw we solve them and we solved them together. You imagine how scary the 60s were when everybody was being shot, when the communists were in the streets just like they are now? Everything's coming undone.

We're losing a major war. Our whole identity. Everything that World War II was about is being flushed down the, toilet. You imagine how frightening that was? But we know the God era came after that. The Jesus Revolution. Somehow or another, we solved it. And then we got into the 70s when the economy was stopping and New York was failing and Jimmy Carter was carrying his own luggage and helicopters

were burning in the Middle East. And yet we got through it. And then we got the Reagan era. Where everybody believed we were. We're going to blow the entire world up, but we got through it. We're going to get through this, but we're not going to get through this if we don't hold on to each other. And we don't hold on to the things that we all have in common. But good things, the family, the friendships, the streetlights are on. But come home, come home.

We don't need to agree on everything. Just enough to stand shoulder to shoulder. Glenn Beck is back in a minute. Shelley says, you know, we need the American hockey team miracle again. I forgot about that. That was the greatest thing in spite of everything that, you know, was going on. We need to make everyday a miracle. You know, we've had that.

We've had that. I think we had those miracles happen this last summer. Have you already forgotten what it felt like with all of the people coming over here for the World Cup and what they were saying about us? That wasn't Team USA, a team winning on the ice. That was the actual Team USA, the actual people of America winning the nations of the world. They would come over, they came over here and they were like, my gosh, this is a great country. What is everybody in my country talking about? This is the greatest country ever. We had that win. We had it.

David writes in, I would hang out in a classroom at school on Friday night, wait for drunk high schoolers to call needing a ride home. Students against drunk driving was my chance to hang out with cute girls and watch John Hughes movies. That's fabulous. Chuck, phone booths instead of cell phones. We actually talked to each other.

We didn't have our faces buried in a cell phone. You know, this is one of the things that really kills me. One, go to a concert and watch. Is anybody actually watching the concert? You're watching the stage or you're watching the screen? Because that will be your memory. Your memory will be seeing it on the screen instead of seeing it in person. You know, so many people, they get, when I get a chance to meet people, I'm so flattered that people even want to take a picture with me.

But they're so flustered. I got to take this picture and they get flustered with their phone and their conference. concentrating on their phone to take the picture. And the two minutes that we might have has now gone to, I got to figure out my phone because I got to get this picture. And, you know, I wonder. And I'm, you know, I'm like that too. I see something. I'm like, I got to get a picture of that. You know, but I think we might have gone too far. The picture of taking food, taking pictures of our food. I mean, I don't really. I don't understand that one. I don't. Deb, government didn't have such a strong hold on the people yet in the 80s. Small businesses still existed. Butcher shops thrive. Playgrounds still existed. Boy Scouts were still based on family values.

Teachers acted like professionals. True. Husker girl. In the 1980s, almost everybody in my grade went to church. I miss that. Constitution abiding citizen. Three broadcast channel news were only curated news, not necessarily a higher occurrence of truth. Absolutely true.

Absolutely true. We know a lot more today. And I'm grateful, but I don't know if it's a great trade. 300,000 in metric tons of foreign ground beef are about to come into the United States without the normal tariff. That's a huge amount of beef. And here's the part that bothers me. When that beef ends up at the grocery store, you have no way of knowing which country it came from. I'm all for buying beef for my family.

But I want to know where it came from. That's why I like good ranchers. Good Ranchers partners with more than 100 local farmers and ranchers and delivers 100% American meat straight to your door.

There is something to be discussed that is way beyond Lindsay Clancy, but Lindsay Clancy is the thing that is exposing it. And it is this loss of women. to something that's I called identification through intimacy

which means I've suffered something like this so I see her I can identify Mangione was the same thing identification through grievance I've been mistreated by institutions like this so therefore I understand him well yeah but that doesn't mean you become fans of them

you might understand them but we're we are now nothing but these identities. And what's really frightening is it's happening to women. And Bethany Miller is going to be with us. She is National Religious Broadcaster Director of Communication. She's just written something I think is really, really good on this that we need to talk about because it's something I talked about, oh, I don't even know, 15 years ago.

I said, you know, once you harden women, your culture is completely lost. men only behave because women tell them settled out, knock it off, grow up. I mean, we listen to our mothers, and quite honestly, whether we like it or not, we listen to our wives. But if our wives are just as coarse as we are, then it's just a spiral into garbage cans. Women play a really important role, and they have always been softer than men. Remember, we are the hunters. We're the gatherers. We're the warriors.

Women are supposed to be the nurturers. And it has been turned upside down and inside out. And now women are excusing things like shout your abortion or, yeah, I can feel her pain. And so, yeah, she killed her kids. Yeah, we have to make sure that we understand what's happening right now in our culture. I'm going to give you three stories that are kind of connected, but I'm going to show you the history behind it. And I'm going to take you to Williamsburg first.

But let me tell you about American financing. There are things in your house that you bought years ago and you still may be paying for them, you know, that dinner you put on your credit card, the Christmas present from two Christmases ago, maybe a washing machine that already broke. The stuff is gone, used up forgotten, but at 20-something percent in interest,

that bill just keeps hanging around. And if you're a homeowner with equity, American financing may be able to help you. Put an end to that. And they can show you how, with the equity that you have built in your home, consolidating that high interest credit card debt into your mortgage and potentially dramatically reduce your monthly obligations. In fact, listeners in this show save an average of $800. It's actually, I think the number is $830 a month. I hate debt, but I especially hate debt that just keeps sitting there month after month charging you for the privilege of still owning it. Time to put an end of that. Zero up front.

He asks his mom, can I walk back to the pond and collect more goose feathers?

It's half a mile. Sidewalks the whole way. 10 feet of grass between him and the street posted at 25. Two crosswalks. He had crossed them six times that morning. And his mom said, yeah, I'm going to go in and make lunch. She was eight months pregnant with her fifth child and she was studying for the bar exam. This is a mom who cares deeply.

Well, a passerby sees the boy, calls security. A guard walks him home, tells him on the way that bad people would want to take him. Now, I want you to know, believe it or not, the stat show your children are more safe today on our streets in America than ever before. I know it doesn't feel that way, but it's true. So then the guard calls the police. Three squad cars come. Three, two workers from the child protective services. Now, Carrie Ann Parkinson, she's the mom,

she was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. CPS substantiated a neglect finding and put her on Virginia's child abuse and neglect registry. She's going to be there on that for seven years. Last week, a judge convicted her. Six months in jail suspended. Okay. Really?

She assumes it means she can no longer volunteer at her children's school. She doesn't know yet whether she'll ever be able to get her law license now. She attends William and Mary. She summers as an intern in the office of a state senator who co-sponsored Virginia's reasonable childhood independence law, the one defining neglect as serious, obvious danger. This is not one of those things. passed the legislature unanimously in 2023. When her husband told the officials at the door

the children need reasonable risk in order to grow up unafraid, he said the answer came back that a five-year-old can never be unsupervised. Ever? Ever? The same week in Plymouth, Mass, 12 other people are trying to decide what happened to a mother named Lindsay Clancy.

80 witnesses, 300 exhibits, five days of deliberation. roughly 30 hours. Twice they've told the judge, we can't agree. Yesterday, he read them the, I think they call it the dynamite act, the dynamite charge. You got one more chance. You've got to do it. You're going to send you back because nobody's going to decide this.

Nobody's going to have better chances deciding this than you. Go back and decide it. One more time, try. One country, one week in Virginia, the state knows precisely what a mother owes to her child down to the crosswalk. And in Massachusetts, they can't decide murder in 30 hours. Now, there's another story going around this week meant to settle the second question with real confidence, okay?

And it's a story that happened in 1954 in Waterville, Maine. It was a story about a 24-year-old girl named a Constant Fisher. She drowned her three children, Richard Daniel and Deborah, and then tried to take her own life. Her husband Carl comes home, again in 1954, uh, from the railroad shop and found the door locked. She had left a note saying God had told her to save them from evil. Well, she spent five years in a state hospital in Augusta. 1959, she's released to Carl. They moved to a house that he built in Fairfield. They had three more children in the summer of 1966. Carl comes home finds the children dead, all three of them the same way. The young

was nine months old. Now, every version of this being shared this week carries the same moral. America felt sorry for a mom and the children died for it. That's not what happened. That's not what happened. If you want to read that and just get all of your news from somebody else's feed, fine, but you're going to get it wrong because that's not the record. The moral is wrong.

Constance Fisher, she was never tried in 1954. No verdict, no jury, no mercy, because there was no trial. The examiners found her unfit to stand trial, so she was committed right away. Nobody forgave her. Nobody was asked to. She didn't get out because anyone's heart had softened. Carl had petitioned for her release in 1955, and the hospital's medical board said, are you crazy too?

But she walked out four years later. Why? The reason wasn't because of sympathy. it was a national campaign to empty the hospitals. A policy let her out. Not a jury, not a judge, not a feeling, not sympathy, none of that. It was a policy and a policy that had a long tail behind it. We have been here before.

Taking back one more step, 1841, 28th of March, 1841, school teacher went to jail in East Cambridge to teach Sunday school to the women locked up inside. Her name was Dorothea Dix. She was 39. She had been born in Maine. Now, some of those women had committed no crime. They were insane. Or somebody said they were insane.

And the country had nowhere else to put them. So they were housed with felons. When she gets there, the room has no stove. Dick's ass about it. She's told the insane. saying don't feel the cold. She spent the next 18 months walking into every jail and Alms House in Massachusetts with a notebook. She wasn't arguing. She was just counting. In January of 1843, she handed the legislator what she had written down. She told them she had come to call their

attention to insane persons confined within the Commonwealth in cages, closets, sellers, stalls, pins, chained, naked, beaten with rods. And then she named all the towns. And they built. And she went to the next state and they built there. And she traveled to tens of thousands of places and cities and tens of thousands of miles. Hospital after hospital went up because one woman with a notebook made it impossible to keep not knowing. In 1854, she gets to Congress. Both houses pass a bill setting aside more than 12 million acres of federal land,

10 million of it for the care of the insane and the poor. Sell the land, run the hospitals on the proceeds. But on the 3rd of May, President Franklin Pierce vetoed it. He said he was compelled to resist the sympathies of his own heart. His reasoning was constitutional. He said, if Washington can provide for the insane poor, it can provide for all of the poor. And that has to be done by the states, not the federal government. Now, serious people still think he was right.

I think he was right. is veto held that line for 80 years until the depression broke it. The depression breaks it. Now, understand what all this means on the ground. Every asylum in America would be a state asylum funded by a state legislature in whatever year that legislature felt generous. When they didn't feel generous, unfunded systems don't stay merciful. They get crowded and then they get very cruel. And by the 50s, the hospitals that Dix had built held far more people than they could treat.

The peak came in 1955, 558,922 Americans in state mental hospitals on a single count. You've seen the movies of what these hospitals were like. And Constance Fissures was in that system at the high watermark. Four years later, they began saying, we got to clear people out. Today, those hospitals hold fewer than 40,000 beds. in a country twice the size. Nobody evaporated. Roughly two million Americans with serious mental illness

are booked into jail every single year. We're doing exactly the same thing. The largest mental health facilities in the United States are jails in our counties. 185 years and we're standing in the same room with no stove. So let me put those two moms back on the table. In Williamsburg, the state had enormous confidence

an unlimited reach in a case where nothing happened at all. In Plymouth, in Waterville, the state had almost no capacity where everything happened. That's the trade we've made without voting for it. We can't hold the dangerous, so we supervise the safe. And notice what's doing all the work in all of it. Not judgment, a category of five. year old can never be unsupervised. That's a category. It doesn't require, you know, everybody meet Sam or watch him at the crosswalk or ask a mother one question. It's cheaper than looking.

Any mother who does this must be sick is another category. Any mother who does this must be evil is a category two. I don't know if she's sick or she's evil. I have no idea. And I've watched people on my own side of the aisle spend a week explaining a woman they've never met using a case from Maine in 1954 they haven't read to reach a verdict 12 people who sat through four weeks of testimony they can't reach in 30 hours that's not toughness that's the same shortcut in a different coat now here's the thing about all these cases that actually bothers me it's not the sentences only one of them gets a jury kerryan parkinson got a caseworker's finding, a registry entry, and a bench conviction.

Nobody had to be persuaded of anything. Nobody was ever even required to look at her. Lindsay Clancy gets 12 strangers who can't leave that room until they agree. And after 30 hours, they still want to do the cheap thing. You know, a guard who sees a small child alone shrugs and goes, nah, is not a good man. And the neglect laws that exist because real neglect is real and children die of it, that's why they exist. Fine. But prove it about this child. Bring the evidence about this child.

That's all a jury is, the last institution in American life that forces somebody to look at one person before deciding anything about them. Who are we? Are we a country that sent a woman into a jail? with a notebook and then built hospitals because she counted? Are we them? Who are we? A country that closed the hospitals, kept the registry, got very good at supervising people who never needed supervision? Who are we becoming? It isn't being decided in Plymouth. It's being decided by whether we're still willing to do the expensive thing. Go look at the actual person. Dix's method is still available still costs the same. She didn't theorize about the insane.

She walked in, county by county. She wrote down what she saw. You know a good mother. When somebody in your neighbors, Virginia, I can't believe you would just shrug this off. Nobody paid attention to a good mom. Who is in your life that you need to see? Who's in your life on your street, your family?

That might not be fine. Or might be fine, but it's under attack. Let's go stand with them. Let's go look at those people. not a text. Let's go look at those people. Let's sit with those people. Let's pray with those people because our actions are stronger than words. And what we do with our time is what matters. All right, let me tell you about Patreon Mobile.

Stand with America's farmers and ranchers and get your hat today at glenbeckshop.com. Bethany Miller is the Director of Communications for the National Religious Broadcasters. She is also the editor of the Conservatoire, the Conservator. And she is also, she does opinion pieces for daily wire. And she just did an opinion piece for us. And it is so good.

This is such a well-thought-out and very concerning article about what we're seeing with Lindsay Clancy, Luigi Mangione, and women. And so she's been talking to some of our producers were friends. And I think it was Michaela said, you should write this article. And so she did. And it's posted right now. It just came out at glenbeck.com. Bethany, welcome. Thank you for this great think piece. Do you want to explain it real quick on what your theory is on it? Hey, Glenn. Thanks for having me. Yeah, essentially, I think we've all been wondering at the heart of all of these trials is what is the state of American women today?

And I haven't been seeing anybody just report and talk about where did we get the mindset of women? And I do think that it's been, it has been brewing for decades. I mean, from the millennial movement of the Me Too and the therapeutic culture and the, And my truth is the only true. This has been brewing from some time. And for those of us who are even religious, this is a Garden of Eve problem. I mean, we know that women lean a certain way, same with men, and we are gifted and fashioned in certain ways. And the secular politics can weaponize those scenes. We've seen masculinity and the topic of it get radicalized. Now we're seeing it with women. And it started with the abortion conversation, and now it is growing. We're seeing it with Lindsay Clancy. And again, over and over and over again, it's been, why are women responding this way? And instead of just jumping all the way pendulum swinging and say, okay, well, on the right, we're going to say women can't vote.

I don't think that's going to answer the problem because at the end of the day, it's not a voting issue. This is a cultural problem. Because even if you were to take away the vote, we're still going to have women attempting to murder their children. Like, I can't believe the day and age we live in. But that is exactly kind of the root of the problem. I wrote about this in this piece, just talking about how women tend to weaponize what God made them to be true good and beautiful, their empathy, they're relational. And when they are using those things for good, it can be a powerful thing. But we're seeing it today, and the left is capitalizing on it,

manipulating women's lenses of empathy and of relation. And in using that to get them to respond empathetically in a weaponized empathy to what's happening with Lindsay Clancy. So instead of going, hey, what's black and white here? This woman killed her children. Therefore, justice must be served. They're saying, hey, actually, she struggled with postpartum depression, and she was anxious.

And so let's blame the man. Or I can see myself in her. Therefore, me condemning her is condemning myself. And so you see how that that is slowly being weaponized, and it's all doing it for our culture and through our media. So in my long form piece, I'm talking about exactly that and how that has formalized in both the Lindsay Clancy trial, in the Luigi Manjone trial, and how this has kind of been an ancient problem. Yeah, I think one of the things that you talked about that really stood out to me was the difference between I understand you and I agree with you. Yeah. And the blurring of that line, I mean, that's what has people, you know, holding newborns, women, holding newborns, and posting same Lindsay or pushing a stroller outside of her trial chanting that she's innocent.

I mean, it, I mean, I don't think guys are wrong to say, wait a minute, I have to ask you some more questions. If we're serious about getting marriage, how do you feel on this? Because I, you can clearly say, and this is, and this is, my standpoint. I'm not in the trial room, so I don't know. Justice has to be done, but I also know there is, you know, mental illness is real.

And I can understand because my mother went through really bad mental illness, et cetera, et cetera. And so I can understand her, but that doesn't mean I agree with her. And women seem to be going very dark. Like Luigi Mangione, that

is terrifying. to me that they're they're practically throwing themselves at this murderer because they're like, yeah, well, he's been abused by the system and I've been abused by the system. Exactly. And, you know, I've been seeing some reports come out too saying a majority of women tune into true crime podcasts. A majority of women are reading some types of fiction and fantasy. And so the state of our women today, this is the type of entertainment and narratives that they inherit and consume on a daily basis. And that we've seen kind of maybe weaponize the way that they're thinking about these things. And I talk a lot about this. I'm Gen Z, but I'm like the last of

Gen Z cohort who has had a separation of digital reality. So to me, I can see the online reality and I can see the actual physical reality. And I think with social media being like we're seeing headlines about the Iranian war on X and on Instagram and that's how we consume reality today, I think that we are no longer seeing a separation of the two. We can't see a difference between what is digital, what is real? And then we've got, you see AI and you're like, is that even real? And so discernment, I even just think beyond just the gender wars, discernment is something we're losing as the American public of trying to figure out think clearly and think black and white. And it goes exactly back to then it gets weaponized with women even more so because they can't go as far as saying I understand what she's going through, but then can't stop and go, but that can't affirm what she did. I don't know how many times we have to say on air.

I mean, everyone is saying it within the base, but she had to strangle each one of her children. And I can't even, like, I had to turn the TV off when I was watching the trial and even hearing Patrick Clancy's 911 call, like, hearing how it is just how chilling that is. But women can't seem to get in. I think if you were to talk to most of these women who make these TikTok videos, they probably aren't tuning into the full trial. And you'll notice that they're in the comments just wanting to combat you. They get so defensive and emotional. And it's, it is completely just on. So is this a performance?

Is this itself mental illness? What the hell is happening? I think it is. I think it's also just in a time of identification. I talked about this in my article. Women want to identify with something. They want to relate to something. They want to belong to something. And I think they see that type of rallying around Lindsay, which is why we're seeing rallies outside her court case. Because they're saying, hey, like with the Luigi case, I've been, like you said, I've also been hurt by the health care system. And this guy, what he did was heroic. And because they're not seeing anything else. They're not seeing anything else with health care. So I think that's it.

You're too young to remember this, but this is exactly what happened with O.J. Simpson. People wanted to send a message that blacks had been mistreated, that blacks were always considered guilty. And so the black community rallied around OJ Simpson, no matter what the trial evidence said. And later, the jurors said, yeah, we did do that. And I kind of regret it now. But they were wanting to send a message. Is that the same thing that's happening here? I think it is. I think women for so long have felt that they're not getting represented within postpartners specifically. And I think that's why we're seeing so many women come out and support her. And they're saying, hey, me too. It's like, Glenn, it's the Me Too movement all over again.

But when Me Too was launched, we didn't have the digital aes we have today. We've got TikTok and short form content like no other. I mean, it's the same. And that's why I wrote in my piece. It's the same thing. Like Ecclesiasi says, there's nothing new under the sun. It's the same narrative over and over and over and again. And if we don't correct this, if we don't answer the cultural problem of this is the type of, This is women what we're dealing with. This is how they think. If we don't get ahead of this, and if the answer is only to just repeal the 19th, this is not going to solve the problem.

This is not going to solve the problem. This is the cultural issue. No, we're not going to repeal the 19th. However, I will tell you that I don't know. I wouldn't even begin to know how to date today if I were young. I wouldn't know how to filter. I wouldn't, you know, everything seems like it's a, booby trap now for guys. And, you know, when a guy can get in trouble for saying, hey, we're

kind of serious now, we're thinking about marriage, where do you stand on this? And for her to say, you know, I agree with her. I think she's innocent. And then be strident on it. Instead of having a conversation like, look, I think this is real. And I don't know because I'm not in the trial. But I think this is real. And we just have to be really careful. And not being able to have any kind of nuance. I got to tell you, I would back away from that relationship immediately because I don't I don't know who you are. I don't know how are you even making decisions? You don't know this for a fact. And all of a sudden, you're strident on this issue. So I kind of, I agree with guys. I think you're actually smart to say, yeah, I don't think I can be a relationship with you anymore. And I

hate to say that because it's just breaking people up, but I don't know how to judge women anymore. Yeah, I'm with you on that. And honestly, I'm grateful to see some young men step up and say this. I'm going to use this as a litmus test to get a read on what my girlfriend is doing. And so I'm grateful that young men are opening up to this. I am grateful for the direction that young men are going and are responding in this way. Because it is become, we've seen young men get radicalized. And now we're seeing them go in the right direction. And so I do think that what we've done with young men and seen them wake up to the chaos and see them vote in a certain way and then start returning to churches, whether it's Orthodox, Catholic or Protestant, whatever it may look. like. That has been encouraging to see, and I do think that it can happen with women, too. I just think that swinging the pendulum on either side, too far is not going to answer it. And so it really is a deep and cultural problem. But I resonate deeply. Are you seeing women change for the better on this? Are you seeing women going, well, wait, we better wake up here. Is there any kind of movement on the other side for women? I am. And, you know, the work that we do at the Conservatoire, we are seeing that. And we, and I think that this comes down to Glenn. And I think you

and I both can agree on this, the digital noise is often louder than reality. And that's why I touched on that because I do think, even if when you use, no matter what you think about the fishback campaign, so many thought that he was going to pull a certain direction because he was very, very tech savvy, and it seemed as if he would get all of these types of voters, and then you saw what actually ended up happening. And so that's just a, if you just want to talk about the digital reality of something, politics aside, that's a good example of, it doesn't always manifest. And so while I'm saying it is frustrating to see all of these women respond this way, and I do want to sound the alarm on it, and I do want to be a whistleblower on it. I also want to be a voice for women like myself

who are not voting that way and who are not thinking that way and who are not putting pink shirts on and holding up my hands outside of Lindsay Clancy case because I'm sitting here going, she murdered her three babies, her babies. Like, I could never even. I don't care how mentally ill you are. You were rational enough to plan that out. And so I do, I would, I'd like to say that I'm example of that and there's a lot of women within the base that are very much pushing back against this. So it is, it is very prominent, but it's just you're not seeing it manifest online in a way that you're seeing the other side. And it's become rowdy. And again, I just say nothing new under the sun. That's why I'm like, we need to start responding to this and also be aware

at the fact that TikTok is just going to accelerate it. And that's why the right needs to, you know, the left is capitalizing on this Mondami, AOC, they're techie and savvy and they're resonating with young women. The right is not doing as good of a job at that. And so, you know, So we need to get ahead of the curve and understand just a thought process of communications, digital, how is that resonating with their audience with young women? How can the right take a step forward in that as well? So I really do think we need to take a look at playbooks. Politics aside, take a look at playbooks.

How are women responding? This is what my long-form article talks about. What is the thought process? Why are they resonating? Why does it make sense? We need to ask these questions. Just take a step back and go, why are women this way? What is the state of them?

How did they become this way? How are we going to answer it? And what is the type of information they're going to consume? how are we going to reach them? The left thinks that way. They're maximizing on it. Mondami was charismatic, and he was putting out, you know, social media trends that were resonating with women. I know it's trivial to say, and I know there's probably, you know, older people listening to this going, that's just crazy, but it's just the day and age we live.

And this is how communication is consumed. So we need to get ahead of the curve. You find the article at glenbeck.com right now. I'll give you more information on that in a second. I can't let you leave without asking about Gloria Steinem. Second wave feminism. She was the face of it. she was found dead this morning at 92.

Everybody's saying she's a trailblazer for women, yada, yada. What do you think the real legacy for women is that she's leaving? I don't think she's leaving much behind, is she? That's how, that's the prime example of, are we going to, who are we going to let be the face of women? Is it going to be something like this? Is it going to be the feministic narrative? Or is it going to be true, beautiful and good femininity? And I don't know if that's exactly what her legacy is.

I don't think that's exactly what exactly women are today. So I would take a look at her legacy. Think for yourself, is that the face, if you're a woman listening today, is that a legacy that I want to follow? Or is there a new one I want to trail ahead? And so I don't know if I would resonate with her. I would be curious if others would. Bethany, thank you so much. Bethany Miller.

There's a new TV host on Blaze TV, Nick Freitas. And this is what he said about the Lindsay Clancy trial. And it's kind of what we were just talking about with Brittany.

Listen to this. I honestly don't think that women understand what a catalyst moment this is. There's been a lot of conditions set for young men to just be fed up. This is the one where I don't think they realize you could look back in 20 years and be like, oh, this is where we lost the right to vote. Yeah, literally. Because the bottom line is, as women become more tribal, men are becoming more tribal. And bad news, our tribe doesn't need you to secure our rights. You need us to help you secure yours.

And people are like, oh, Nick Frater's is advocating. No, I'm not advocating it. I'm telling you, you get tribal to this degree. Yeah. Where not only can you kill our kids in the womb through all nine months of pregnancy, but now you can strangle them on the outside and you're the one that gets sympathy. and the husband is to blame? That's where you move men into the screw you phase of the exercise.

This is so dangerous because I think he's right. I think he's right. I mean, to an extreme, he's right. And this is why this is so dangerous. We all have to, if I have time, I'll talk about this later, if not tomorrow. We all have to draw a line in our own lives. Look at what's happening to all of us. we are being divided to such an extreme in every way possible.

Father from children, brothers from sisters, you know, men from women, black, and white, all of these lines are all being drawn. This is the end of humanity, gang. Now, do you see, this is all one play. Divide, divide, divide. Now we're down to the basic men and women divide. this is not sustainable. Change course. You're on the wrong side.

If this is where you're dividing, you're on the wrong side. Unite. For years, I kept telling myself, I'd get serious about my health, you know, as soon as things slowed down. And guess what? They never slowed down, ever.

I got to tell you, this Clancy trial looks like we're going to have a hung jury. There are crowds gathering in front of the courthouse now, and everybody's saying this is putting a spotlight on mental health, the mental health crisis. Yeah, that's one thing. That's one thing.

Putting a spotlight on mental health crisis is one thing. You know, I don't know how much of the trial you've been following, and I have stayed out of it because I don't like it when we just declare people guilty or innocent, especially if I haven't done all my homework on it. But, you know, the testimony is that she planned it out. She knew what she was doing. She, you know, she operated this. It wasn't just a, I'm hearing voices, I got to do this.

But again, I haven't heard all the testimony. But we are in a real situation here where we are, it's toxic empathy. It's toxic empathy. And you can be for better mental health. You can be for people saying, you got to take postpartum depression seriously. I'm one of those people. Take it seriously. It's real.

but you can also separate that from killed three children and look at the facts of the case. We're in a weird place in America. We'll get into that in about a half hour again. Carol Roth is going to join me here in a minute. We've been talking about what the Republicans should be talking about, what they should be doing, and not really doing it.

However, the president came out and said he's going to go across the country for 30 days to try to help 35 Republicans. I don't know. Too little too late. I don't know. It's not him. It's really them. They're the problem, not him. And so we're going to talk about the affordability crisis.

Yeah, I'm a conservative that will say there is affordability crisis because all you have to do is go stand in a checkout line at a grocery store. If you don't think that's an affordability crisis, I mean, how rich are you? because I see the problem. But I want to focus with Carol on a couple of things that can be done pretty easily. And one of them is the government of the United States is the largest predatory lender in the world. And this is a real problem and this could be ended quickly. I'll talk to Carol about this. It's give you a hint.

It's about universities. Also, we'll talk about housing and how to make that. that affordable. Coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor, it's LifeLock.

Carol, how are you? I'm doing well. How are you? Very good. Carol Roth, who if you don't have her economic news coming in her, you know, in your email box, her newsletter, go to Carolroth.com slash news.

sign up for a newsletter. You're going to be way ahead of everything that is happening economically. Carol, let's start with, because I've read some of your notes and some of your writings on this. The biggest predatory lender in the world is the United States government, and this is so true. If this were a bank doing it, it would be the number one story everywhere. But it's the government. Explain. Right. Everybody hates payday lenders. Everybody hates those who go after. after people who are vulnerable. We have the U.S. government, who under the Obama administration,

largely nationalized student lending, they got the banks out of the way. And now it's the U.S. government. And they are preying on teenagers. They're praying on people who can't even drink alcohol. They're not holding up to drink alcohol or, in some cases, to get cough syrup, you know, when they go to Target or Walmart.

But somehow they can take on five and six. six figures of debt for college and figure out what the return on investment is supposed to be for that. And that's why I call the government the largest predatory lender in the world because they are transferring wealth on a wholesale basis from young Americans. And where is it going? Glenn is going straight to colleges and primarily to college administrators. It's not even going to professors who are improving the education. It's just bloated administrative. and that is not leading to better outcomes. So it means that young people, they're paying more for education and they're not able to get

a good return on investment in a lot of the cases or in some cases any return on investment because it's not treated like any other loan is. Right. When you go, I was going to say, if I went into a bank and I was going to start a business, they would say, let me see your business plan. You know, how are you planning on paying this back? What are you building? You know, how competent are you at that, et cetera?

They're going in and they're saying, I want a gender studies degree. And nobody says, how are you going to pay this loan back? What job are you going to get? What are the stats out there about what kind of salary those people who are graduating today are going to make? There's nothing on that. There's nothing. And there's what we call an underwriting process. to match up your ability to repay with the amount that you're getting from the loan.

So they don't look at your grades. They don't look at your major. If you have the gender studies degree, you can take out the same amount as you can. If you're going into finance or engineer or something, that's likely to have a higher outcome. And there's no accountability. The colleges who are the beneficiaries aren't on the hook for any of this. like a regular loan that is, you know, eligible for the bankruptcy process. These are not eligible for the bankruptcy process.

So when you look at young people and you say, why is it, why are they turning to the Democratic Socialists? Why are they so disenfranchised? It's because they were told to go to school. They were told they needed an education that they would get a better job. They're not getting better jobs. They're saddled with this debt. This debt is at higher and higher interest.

So they're trying to pay it down. They don't understand that when you just pay the interest, the principal doesn't go down. They don't understand why they still have this debt because our education system has failed them. And it delays their progress in life. It delays their ability to buy a house. It delays their ability to start a family. So, you know, it's hard to say somebody who was a teenager or a very young person when they signed up for this. You know, this whole idea, I'm a big person for personal responsibility.

But we are praying on them. Why is the U.S. government allowing this to happen, allowing the colleges to do this? To me, this is the absolute lowest hanging fruit. And President Trump said he was going to get tough on the colleges. He started to go in that direction. And I don't think he went far enough for somebody who's, you know, sunk his teeth into terror, stuck his teeth into Iran. Sank your teeth into colleges and universities and change this whole system.

Get the government out. make the colleges partially responsible, allow this to go through bankruptcy, and for existing loans restructure all of the interest payments that are going to the government that have already been paid and let these young people don't absolve them of their responsibility, but give them some credit for what they've already done. So you're suggesting maybe take some of the money that they paid an interest, and if they were paying it for a long period of time, take some of the interest and say, okay, we're going to take 50% of the interest payment because you're not paying the principal down at all or barely. And we're going to apply that, you know, for a one-time

application, we're going to apply 50% of that's going to go to the principal. Credit, yeah, credit balance. But again, this is the kind of thing that we can't revisit and continue to do. Yes. It all has to change at once. So it has to be part of a full program. Here's how we're changing this in the future because we're not going to be in this business. anymore and we're going to make the colleges responsible and we're going to make this like any other loan for you. And then for people who've already been through it, here's what we're going to do for you. And by the way, because this is always the pushback. The pushback is from, hey, I paid my loan.

I was responsible. I'm not getting, you know, I'm getting screwed here. Well, if you didn't pay in just interest overtime or overtime and overtime and overtime, you really aren't getting a penalty for that. So I feel like there's no perfect way to address this, but it does address it. in a more balanced way. There's not going to be complete fairness on any of this stuff. These are all the, we're at the point where almost every answer, every solution is a

bad answer to somebody. Right. There's always a trade-off. Right. So, but, you know, I remember saying when Obama went after and said, you know, we're going to just give loans out, I thought. And I said, this is going to make the cost of education skyrocket because there's no

accountability. And so they'll, they'll just, if it's endless piles of cash that the government is going to sign of course the the universities will take it. That's why they have to be on the hook for some of this stuff. You know, you're saying, hey, you're going to get a gender study. Look, do you understand that that is not going to pay you very much? Do you understand that, you know, if you want to be a social worker, let's say,

that you're going to be struggling your whole life. So it's not worth $175,000 in loans to get it because you'll never pay it off. It's so frustrating, Glenn, because we pay for education in this country. We pay for everybody to go to school K through 12. The fact that we do not teach young people how to do a return on investment calculation, something that I'm not joking. My dad taught me to do when I was 10 years old and to be able to look at the data and say, this isn't going to work,

or to be able to understand the difference between interest and principle, it's economic and financial literacy, and we're driving it. The state, the government is driving this on purpose because they don't want people to understand financial literacy and economic literacy, because then people would understand how screwed up the government is and require some accountability there. So they just let everybody struggle and then blame capitalism. Is there any way the president could also take this and say, you know, you have to be on the hook, And if you don't inform people before they take out these loans, if you're not clear, if you haven't shown them, then we're not going to loan to you because you're a bad risk to us as the United States government.

Those tax dollars that we are now spending and loaning to students, that should be sacred money. And I don't mind loaning for, you know, my tax dollars loaning for education because those are the people that are going to figure out how to fix the problems of tomorrow and make our world better. But not this way, not this way. I used to think that. I mean, unfortunately, you know, a lot of these colleges have become hedge funds with indoctrination caps attached to them. And they are not concerned with education and making people better, which is why so many of these young people come out, you know, as communists and democratic socialist sympathizers

instead of the people who are fixing the world. So that's part of the issue, too, is I, you know, I don't like the government being involved in lending. but I don't think that people who are going to school are coming out and getting better outcomes because of the things that I'm seeing them teaching at colleges and universities as well. So, you know, that's also a piece of the problem here. We were sending people and they were coming out and they were, you know, really creating a lot of productivity. I don't think that this would be an issue.

But, you know, as you have correctly identified, any time the government gets involved and gives money willy-nilly the cost, whether it's, it's, it's education or healthcare or whatnot, and we don't have real free market competition and things functioning the way that they would otherwise, that's when the cost are just allow to continue to rise. And if you look at the chart, a great chart, I sent it to you by Mark Perry, the chart of the century. I'll put it up on my X for everyone to see.

Everything that the government's involved in has exceeded the cost of inflation significantly in places where we have free market competition. those prices continue to decrease. It's, you know, it's a law that's worked, you know, since the beginning of time. And it's a reality. But again, nobody understands, well, not nobody, but the broad American populace doesn't understand this. And that is the heart of the problem. Okay. So I'm going to take a quick break. And we're going to come back and we're going to talk about housing because that's the other thing. By the way, before we break, have you heard a single person in the GOP suggest anything like this?

So I actually have suggested some things, and we do have a handful of people who've come out and said, yeah, these things make sense. But it is the minority. It's not the majority. And that's the problem. These people should be running on these things. They should be able to say, yeah, there's an affordability problem. And here's how we're going to fix it. This fixes that.

Hang on just a second. Carol, we're going to come back to you here in just a second. First, let me tell you about friend factor. I have a complaint about dogs. I'd like to speak to whoever designed the system here. You get maybe 12, 14, 15 years with him if you're lucky. That's ridiculous. A stupid parrot can live for 60 years.

My dog? A tortoise can outlive the guy who bought him. But the animal that becomes part of the family who sleeps at our bed, who watches at the door for us to come that loves our children, protects our children, you get a handful of years, I'd like to file an appeal, please. And until somebody fixes that, we just have to make our years with our dogs be as good as possible. That's why the people behind relief factor created a friend factor.

It's a daily supplement designed to support your dog's joint health. Our bodies work very similar. And the inflammation that is happening in your body that helps you, you know, or stops you from going up the stairs or doing the things you love is the same with our dogs. You can't make the clock stop, but you can't take care of them while it's running. because someday 15 years is going to feel like 15 minutes, and I still think that's a terrible deal. Get your dog the first bag of Friend Factor today.

It's a treat that you can give them. They'll love, and it's good for them. It'll help them. Just 1995. Go to Relieffactor.com. That's Relieffactor.com. Look for Friend Factor. Ten seconds station.

Carol, I hate to say, we're going to be around of time. I only have about three minutes. So let's get into what we can on housing. Yes. So just real quickly, before I get to housing, I do want to say in terms of Congress's failure, the number one thing that would help fix affordability is going after waste, fraud, and abuse. It's estimated anywhere from a quarter of a trillion to a trillion dollars of fraud alone is in our system. So things that would not only make things like health care costs less, but, you know, increase interest rates.

We had a president who tried to go after that, and Congress did not back him up. So I just wanted to say that. Thank you. But housing. So one of the ideas that I have been floating is allowing for interest rate assumability. If you have a cheap interest rate,

you know, that's one of the things that it's locking up housing. You don't want to move into another house. And if somebody is coming in to buy your house, it's going to be way more expensive for them. So if we allow these cheap interest rates to be assumed, it's a win-win. It's locked up so the banks aren't making money. And there's going to be a bridge between the existing loan and what else is needed for a new buyer. And the banks can benefit from that. I got to tell you, and it helps

the president accomplish what he wants. He's been wanting lower interest rates. Okay, they're not going to give them to you. Here's your lower interest rate. Here it is. Assumable mortgages. Quickly, one more thing. Yes. So also, I know people have different feelings about tariffs, but tariffs have increased builder costs, lumber, drywall, steel, appliances, whatever it is. You know, if we roll that back, if that becomes less of a focus and we focus more on affordability, that's another thing that can help the cost of new housing as well. And the other thing, I agree with you on that. But the other thing is we've got to go after these regulations. regulations now account for like $130,000 on the average house. That's insane between federal and local. It's $130,000 in regulation cost. That's got to stop.

That's got to come under control. And I think it's a 43, 47% increase since 2019. It's housing, it's business, it's energy, it's food, it's everything. So attack the red tape and you're going to have a better cost of living. and more prosperity. It's, you know, economics 101. Carol, thank you very much. Carol Roth. Make sure you get her newsletter. She's way ahead of the curve, and you'll know what's coming down the pike. Carolroth.com slash news. You get her newsletter. Carolroth.com slash news or you can follow her on X at Carol J.S. Roth. Okay. When we come back,

there's a couple of things we have to deal with. This crazy thing from the Canadian military, asking a U.S. Admiral, do we have plans to attack Canada? And he's like, what? No, we don't. No. Well, do we? And if we do, would you follow the president? He refuses to answer. He's like, this is a ridiculous question. Why don't you ask me about the plan to attack Mars? And so then the writer goes back to Canada and decides to say, you know what? He won't answer the question. They have attack plans.

They're coming for us. Canada, you're jumping the shark here. You're really becoming unhinged. We'll talk about that and go back up to what is happening in Plymouth Mass and what it means to men and women and relationships and everything else. We're slipping into even more dangerous territory mentally.

We are becoming even more sick as a nation. Come on, wake up, turn it around, put things back in place. We'll go there next. You know, one of the strangest things about a really nice hotel is the bed because here's what happened. You walk into the room, you put your bag down,

There's an admiral, and he was speaking at one of the war games. And I think it's the global news. Help me out on this one, Ricky, because you know Canadian news. media. The global news is a Canadian, like ABC or NBC up in Canada, right? So one of the big three. Part of the big three. Part of the big three. Partially owned by the government. Do you know? Mm-hmm. All Canadian media is basically subsidized. Okay. So they, they go in there, they're listening to this briefing, and I want to play the global news reporter and what he asked this admiral and listen to his attitude, listen to his question, and listen to what the admiral

says, go ahead, play. Would you obey in order to launch military action against captain? I'm, yeah, I find that, I find that scenario to be absolutely and utterly preposterous. And so I follow the orders of the commander in chief, but that is a needlessly emotional question. So, Canada is a close ally. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be insulted you. No, no, no, but. But, you didn't answer the question.

I'm sorry? You didn't answer the question. I said I follow the orders of the president, and I find it to be a, would you ask me, please also, what my attack plans are for the Martians? You want to dismiss it by all means. Yes, sir.

I don't dismiss you. I don't dismiss you, but I do dismiss the question. Okay. So that is a preposterous question. Okay. Of course he has to answer. I follow the instructions of the commander of the United States, the president of the United States. He's in uniform. That's what he does. Now, a separate question. If the president called you up today and said, hey, I need you to launch missiles against Mark Carney. I would bet any admiral, every admiral would go, Mr. President, can I get your code again, please? uh that doesn't make any sense okay that that is that those would be the orders of an absolute lunatic we're not at war mark carney's the one who said we're at war Donald Trump has sent everybody thank you has sent everybody there's the chinese gong for mark carney um but uh see i said it again and you missed it there you know um he the president has sent person after person after person to talk to the Canadians and say, we're not in a war.

We're not in a war. Now global news, a government news agency from Canada, ask this ridiculous question. And then it goes to the Ottawa citizen, another Canadian news organization. And they say that the U.S. Admiral dodges questions about attacking Canada, but acknowledges he would follow Trump's orders. He wasn't dodging. he's saying that's a ridiculous question. I'm not going to answer ridiculous questions. Not going to.

That's not dodging. That's a stupid question. We are allies. There are no point. You know what? Here's what I would say. See, this is why I could never be in government. Because here's what I would say.

That's the dumbest question I've ever heard. The dumbest question. First of all, we're allies. What is wrong? with you. You need a medical checkup for that question. Now, I could answer it and say, of course there are plans to attack Canada. There's plans to attack the North Pole if Santa gets out of hand. Our job is to fill a building called the Pentagon bigger than most of your provinces with people who their only job is to think of scenarios in case something goes wrong.

in some filing cabinet somewhere in the Pentagon, maybe under sea, maybe under never going to happen, I can tell you there is a file that has Canada's name on it. But nobody is talking about it because we're friends, we're allies, we're neighbors. Let me ask you. Have you asked your military about their plans to attack the United States? Why not? Because it's ridiculous. That's how I would have handled it. He handled it much nicer.

That's why I'm not at the Pentagon nor anywhere near a microphone for the federal government. And God help me, man, if I were in the White House and the button was on the desk, and I wasn't even president, and I saw that question, and there was a button, it was Mark Canada, I might have launched. This is ridiculous. list. I might have launched and the president we go, why did you just, that's nuclear war. It's Canada, sir. It's Canada. Did you hear that question? And now they're going to follow it up and the Ottawa citizen saying he's dodging the question. They believe it anyway. Newcomb.

Glenn Beck, Ottawa citizen. Glenn Beck says in New Canada. And he means it. Oh my God, you people are. You need a medical checkup. And the good thing is, there's room for you to see the doctor. probably in June of 2028. Congratulations on your medical system. Okay, where were we, Ricky? Oh, we were at the part where we've already launched a war on Canada and it's in their heads. It is. The sci-up is complete.

It is. It's in their head. He does their, you know, Lake America thing. And he says, you know what he means when he says they're the 51st state? Do you know what he means? He doesn't mean so another star on the flag. He means you're like our 51st state. We're that close.

We share so much. We share everything. You know, we build our cars. Ford builds our cars here and in Mexico and Canada. We share everything. And while we, you know, because of drug lords, we're not the same as we are. with you. We have an open border. And you know what? We shouldn't because you're sending terrorists down

to our country. But that's what he means by the 51st state, not like we're coming up with our military and we're going to take. We don't want your rat hole state. You know why? Because then we're going to have to pay for all your socialist crap that all you people believe in. No, there's no one. There's no conservative that is saying, you know, we should invade and take Canada. Because then we'll have a whole bunch of other Marxist voters we have to deal with. No, we don't want your problems. Your problems are your problems. We have big enough problems here. We don't need your problems. You take care of your problems. We'll take care of our problems. We'll treat each other with respect. We'll recognize that China and Islamists and communists are a

mutual threat to the Western way of life. And if you can't admit that, then you know what? We can't really be as close as we once were. But I will tell you this. While it's ridiculous to ask the question, is there an invasion plan of China? That's ridiculous. You give this 10 years and you keep cozying up to China. You keep bringing China in.

You get all of your stuff run by China. You get all of the Chinese factories in, you have all your chips, maybe. We can't trade with you because China is a threat to the United States. And the closer you get to them, the more we have to build a wall, either literally or figuratively, between us. The more you get in bed with radicalized Islam to the point where you have 2,000 Jews, Canadian Jews, going, I've got to get out of here. Can I get into the United States? The more you do that, the more we have to distance ourselves. You keep going down this road for 10 years. And you know what? There might be a battle plan on the table. There might be. I hope to God not. But if you become a threat to the

sovereignty of the United States or honestly, forget the United States, the sovereignty of each and every individual on planet earth who are sovereigns of their own life. If you become more communist, more Marxist, more collectivist, you keep killing your people at the clip you're killing them at in the name of compassion. You're not an enemy of the United States. You're an enemy of mankind. You're an enemy of God. He's going to solve that problem long before the U.S. military will.

You're going to collapse. You're going to collapse. you're on the wrong track. And you know what? I don't say that like we're on the right track. I don't know anybody that's on the right track right now. Don't look to us for answers. We're struggling ourselves.

We'd be exactly where you are in 10 years. But stop with this baby nonsense. Oh, are you going to attack... You know, I was talking to Clay, Travis. what was it a $10 million bet or bounty? He'd give the WNBA $10 million if the WNBA would play the, what was it, fifth grade team of his choosing? If they'd play a game of basketball against fifth graders and he'd give him,

you know, $10 million if they won, you know what, Canada? We could send our fifth graders up. We might be able to send our fifth graders up. I mean, after a briefing or two. You're like the WNBA of armies. Please. Please. We don't need a battle plan.

We just need somebody go, you guys got some guns? Yeah. Let's go take Canada. Please. Now, maybe not, maybe we can't say that in Minnesota. In Texas, we could say that. Texas, we could say, guys, what do you say we just solve this?

Let's just go up and take Canada. And Texans would take care of the job. Everybody else is too much of a wuss nowadays. You know, I was in Europe, and people would say, where are you from? And I'd say, Florida, or I'd say, we live in Idaho or whatever. I don't live in Texas anymore. My business is in Texas, but I don't live here anymore.

We ended up saying Texas. You know why? Because the responses were hysterical, absolutely hysterical. My favorite was, oh, well, that's not really America, is it? Uh-huh. You're right. At least right now could change in 30 days, but at least right now it kind of isn't really America. It's its own place with its own attitude.

And every state should be that way. Every state should be that way. We are one country, but we're 50 experimental laboratories. Instead, we're all becoming 49 Marxist laboratories. I should say 48. Florida and Texas. And it may be 49 because we might lose Texas. But we're supposed to be different.

And our 51st state has always been different. You're kind of like our special state. More in a minute. Let me tell you about my Patriot supply. I would have a lot less concern about emergencies if they would just, you know, make appointments. Hey, this is the power grid. What are you doing Tuesday, around 2 o'clock? Have everything ready because we're going to show up as a power grid failure sometime between Tuesday at 10 a.m.

Register today. at pmcf walk.ca. Hey Jason, can you give me the look at what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz? Because the price of oil is not reflecting the news that seems to be true. And that is 17 million barrels of oil has been going through the Strait of Hormuz. We are close to how it was before the war. And yet, I'm not seeing the price. have anything come down? What's true? What's not? Do you know? Yeah, the Energy Secretary and multiple

other officials that even CNN is now reporting on said that on Monday, the U.S. military escorted 40 commercial vehicles carrying, they say, 18 million barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. So if you count in also all the oil that has now been diverted since the war started, that's now heading out via pipelines, that's more than the 20 million that was being transiting. before the war. So if this holds, we're looking at just a massive, I guess, fail that the IRGC and Iran played, they have now signed their own death warrant when it comes to leverage via the strait. So again, if this holds and doesn't get upended through something else, who knows what, as I said before, nothing will ever be the same when it comes to Middle East, the oil,

and the straight of Hormuz. It will never be the same. All they have to do is hold out until the election. That's it. If they can hold out to the election, they have a chance of really affecting this election. If this thing fell apart now, gas prices would plummet,

and a lot of this affordability talk would go away. But you watch. They will hold out until the election. They'll do everything they can to hold out. And hopefully it happens before, this but you watch it'll probably happen right after because they are they are so close to absolute collapse right now so close and the president is not he is not messing around with them anymore he's so tired of them all right more tomorrow may god save the republic
