The Glenn Beck Program | Hour 1 | 9/3/26

0:00Turning 65 feels like you've been dropped into a constant stream of mailers and calls and ads telling us something different about Medicare and most of it just makes things more confusing. But because this is not a small decision, it's your health care, you need to know you can see the right doctors, you need to get the care that you have to have and not pay for a plan that doesn't fit your life. This is where chapter comes in. They don't just hand you options, they look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your needs, and they help you find a plan that actually works for you. Over the last year, they have helped people in this audience save $1.5 million just by finding better fitting plans. And it's really sometimes not even about the money. I heard about a guy named Mark. Chapter stepped in helped him get the care he needed. He said they were absolutely spectacular. So give him a call. The call is free. They've helped thousands in my audience and they can help you too. dial pound 250. Say the keyword chapter. It's pound 250. Keyword chapter.

1:23The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glant Back program. Hello America. Welcome to the Glant Back program. President spoke yesterday. He's got a busy next 35 days. He said he's going to now start traveling the country for those Republicans who are in trouble. 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 factor just

2:26yesterday. You know what we talked about? Probably shouldn't say, but we talked about you whole time. Yeah. I mean, it was all good stuff. Don't worry. It's 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, the, 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 to be free of it. You know my story. The pain in my hands nearly made me quit my job. It was my, my hands were, I couldn't ride anymore. And I liked to ride and it was, there was something going on with my body that was just so crippling and it was all caused, we think, my 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 break. You know what? It broke it broke the back of this relief factor. Still here talking to you. You're here in this. And

3:29if 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 relief factor.com or call 804 relief. You'll connect with their friendly local team and they'll do everything they can to help that's relief factor.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 attorney general in the country. And I agree with that. He also named Dan Sullivan in Alaska. Talked about

4:29the 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 them 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 tell you this guy just won't stop. Republicans have held the house in 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?

5:31They 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 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 its 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

6:34we 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, 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

7:38in the Senate. You 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 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 gavils 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

8:43direction 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 in 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 the groceries cost, what they cost. He's not sparring with a

9:48Democrat. He's contradicting a mom in the checkout line 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. Other thing, stop running against 2021. You can, 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

10:48losing 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-Saheed? 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

11:51mean. People will forgive almost anything 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 Marxist inside our own institutions who mean every word and you remember the laughter from everybody, your paranoid, your friends, 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

12:52down by people who've had your vote and then squandered it. Understand what that 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

13:57never 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 like Trust.com. This is my country 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. And in the end, you go, that was fair. That was good. You looked out for me. Thank you.

15:06I'm glad I trusted you. Real estate agents like Trust.com will show you the right way to do it. We'll get, 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 like Trust.com. Real estate agents like Trust.com, 10 seconds station. I'd be 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. Okay, then came 50 years of it. Their flags illegal. Their songs illegal. Their farmers and their teachers and their pastors

16:08put 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 two million people in three countries walked out of their houses and they held hands. Align of human beings four hundred miles long. Did you know this? It's 1989. No weapons. Nobody on a stage. Grammars, farmers, children. Just shoulder to shoulder all across the highway. Everybody holding hands. No gap.

17:13Four 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

18:22determined 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 their 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. And you're not showing up. What are you going to do? He's already alone. He's already got everybody. Now you're going to put

19:24sharks 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. 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.

20:30Pipe down. This isn't a game. This is not a contest. This is not a punishment. Who are you punishing? Are you punishing Republicans? Well, I don't like that they didn't put John Cornyan 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 or you're 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

21:37own 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 on 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

22:38something. You know that feeling. You're supposed to go someplace and plans change and suddenly 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. They're pajamas. They're loungewear ridiculously soft. The comfort, their sheets, they're bedding same way. Everything they make seemed 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 eight o'clock. My 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 cozy earth.com. Use the promo code back 20% off their home and sleepwear. That's promo code back for up to 20% off home and sleepwear. You'll get a post purchase survey. Make sure you

23:41mention you heard it here. cozy earth and Glenn Beck's program cozy earth.com promo code back. Coming up back to Ryan Reynolds says America in the 80s was trauma. Len says he's both right and wrong and he explains why next on the Glenn Beck program. 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 won'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 time period that's quite distinct, I think there's always a lovely feeling associated. 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

24:46a mess. People forget that it was like that was a tremendous strike. Social political tensions everywhere. We're still pretty fresh off like a Cuban missile crisis, which is only like 15, 20 years before. So it's a tumultuous period, but you look back at it now and you're like, oh yeah, top gun cocaine. No, it was like a really scary. So I think when you look back at 2026 in this era, I think you're gonna 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 odds 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 gonna be. It's gonna be like the, oh the COVID era or something. I have no idea. No, you're probably right. It'll be Rose color glasses. Of course, this we are living in the friggin salad days right now. We just don't know it. And interesting point of view. Look, he's probably right because you always look back on things

25:48years 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 Saturday, 1984. Garage doors open. The radio is on. Somebody's mother is standing on a porch two houses down, hollering a name, you know, at the end of the dusk. That's how we know where children were. There was no way to locate children except for moms out going, glad. Okay, 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 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 the ones all the ones you want, even the one number five number six, if you were too late,

26:51all checked out. So you take home something worse and you're like, okay, I'm guessing I like it. And Saturday, you sit with your finger on the record, the record button waiting for the DJ to quick talking if you were young enough so you could steal a song off the radio. I 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 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, lived 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.

27:53But let me tell you something else that was going on in 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 four times and still have a license in his wallet. And I'm almost nobody wore a seat belt seat belts. I still have a hard time wearing a seat belt 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 whom we moved on. Crack came into cities, took a decade of men with it. A disease showed up. This country couldn't sail out 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.

28:54It was November 1983, something close to 100 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 third of May 1980, a 13 year old girl named Kerry Leitner walking to church, to a church carnival with a friend in Faroaks, 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 that men would probably not do any real time. That wasn't cruelty. That's just how it worked back then. Candy Leitner 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

29:58an organization at her kitchen table. Four years later, she stood next to the president of the United States where he signed the bill that raised the drinking age in all 50 states. 25,000, 25,000 a year is now around 10. We drive twice the miles now. Do the math. It comes out to a stadium full of people who are having dinner tonight because one mother said, no, that's just how it works. No, that's not how it works anymore. 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

31:03one. Then they finally published. 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 signed 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.

32:06We 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 most news organizations are denying the problems even exist. So not not as 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 I have 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 reach the country. You couldn't do that today.

33:10Today 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 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

34:12a second instrument and they checked 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 them 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 solve 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

35:18War II was about is being flushed down the toilet. 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 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. Good things, the family, the friendships, the streetlights are on. But come home.
