Kamala offered WHAT to black men for votes?!

Kamala Harris’ campaign recently made a new promise to black men: If she’s elected president, she’ll give them all sorts of new things! And one of them is … legal recreational marijuana?! Glenn and Stu review Kamala’s promise to help black men succeed in the weed industry, which sounds just a LITTLE racist. Meanwhile, the state-run media is doing everything it can to scare voters about Donald Trump. But his actual knowledge of the economy is shining through …

GLENN: I was excited to hear all of the things that Kamala is promising for black men.

It's not shameless. It's not shameless.

STU: She's not trying to buy votes. We should point that out.

Some people will think that, when they hear you say that.

GLENN: No.

And don't worry about that pesky Constitution. The enact all of these things would be unconstitutional.

They'll jam it through, somehow or another. You know, hey -- look, we're talking free weed for black people. Can you -- can you -- if -- if I even said that as a joke, I would be off the air. You know what, you want to buy their vote. You want to buy a black man's vote. Give them free weed. You would be banned.

STU: Yeah. Sounds like a David Duke proposal.

GLENN: It does. It really does.

It's like -- can you imagine? Who stood up.

Who stood up?

Please tell me it wasn't a white guy.

I've got an idea. How about we give them crack pipes?

STU: It's that pathetic. It really is.

STU: And was there someone that spoke up at some point, and said, guys, you want -- you want to try to buy black votes with drugs?

I want to make sure I'm understanding the proposal.

GLENN: Aren't -- isn't it kind of racist to say that black people like drugs?

STU: They like drugs, and they can't get identification.

Those are two campaign planks.

GLENN: That's unbelievable.

Well, they're too stoned, Stu, to figure out identification. They need it to buy their big huge, you know, ten-gallon malt liquor.

STU: It's unbelievable. They may as well try all these proposals. And you wonder, hey. Well, these are the types of plans that will get black voters.

Actually, maybe it's this type of thinking, that had you lose them in the first place.

I will just throw it out there.

GLENN: It might be.

But, hey, if it works. Let's offer free chopsticks and driving lessons for Asians.

STU: That's basically what they're doing. That's basically it.

GLENN: It is what they're doing. Now, white people, you get Ugg boots and Starbucks gift certificates. Venezuelans we already gave them free apartment buildings in Colorado.

STU: That's true. Well, they worked for those. I will say.

GLENN: We have them covered.

I was thinking, Native Americans, and I thought, we should give them sheets and pillow cases to go with the -- and I said, well, no.

No. We shouldn't remind anybody about the blankets. Just maybe more casinos. More casinos.

Now, that's not racist. That's not racist. What?

STU: That's just going after individual voters, that they care about so much.

It's despicable.

GLENN: How about tacos for Hispanics?

Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that.

And white men.

STU: Yeah. You know.

GLENN: Probably nothing.

Just beat it, dude.

Or wait a minute.

White men get free trans surgeries.

There you -- there you go. Because that's what they really want.

That's the white man talking. I'm man enough to say I want to be a woman.

That's how man I am. So, man up.

Become a woman. I think that's great. I think that's great.

By the way, J.D. Vance did come out yesterday, and, you know, I said that I would -- that if I ever heard of anything that was, you know, unconstitutional, dictatorial, I would out them. And I would stand with the Constitution.

And I'm going to do it.

Because J.D. Vance came out yesterday and said, well, Graters is now making a Skyline chili-flavored ice cream, and they're going to ban it.

See, I think chili-flavored ice cream would make me vomit. But I'm -- but, hey. Hey. Hey. I'm going to stick up for that ice cream. You know what I mean?

You're not going to ban any ice cream on my watch, J.D. Vance. Not one.

Honestly, that's what they would do. He actually made that tweet as a joke. That's what he would say. See, he's serious. He's serious. He will go after ice cream flavors he doesn't like.

GLENN: Right. I heard a whole report this morning, Glenn, how Donald Trump just stood there.

Played DJ for 45 minutes, played song after song after song.

GLENN: Yeah. For no reason.

STU: No mention of the fact that there were medical emergencies in the crowd. I mean, how can you tell that story without telling why he stopped taking questions during the town hall because there was someone potentially dying in front of him?

But having some sort of medical emergency.

GLENN: But he doesn't care. He doesn't care about people with medical issues. He doesn't care.

STU: No.

GLENN: What did he do?

He danced. Somebody is dying. And he's dancing with YMC. What a monster that guy is.

So Charlemagne the God, which I don't know.

At some point in my life, you know, I might worry that that might be a little blasphemous. There might be a question or two on the final exam, you know what I'm saying?

You didn't think that maybe you shouldn't call yourself.

But, I mean, it's working out for him in life.

STU: Well, since he spelled the, T-H-A. Does that get him out of any of these problems?

GLENN: And the isn't capitalized, even though the G is capitalized in God.

But I think the T-H-A. I don't even know what that means. That's my out with God. I didn't call myself God. I said Tha God.

STU: I have news for you. If you put the A at the end of certain words, it doesn't always help.
(laughter)

GLENN: Well, it does some people.

STU: Some people it does.

GLENN: Maybe he has the A thing going on this word too.

I'm not really sure. So, anyway, he was -- he was doing a town hall, with Kamala.

Kamala.

And, you know, got -- I've got -- you've got to give it. You know, she was great. She's for some reparations.

You know, which is -- which is great.

Let me give you some of the things that she was talking about yesterday.

I love the fact. I don't have the audio. But I do have the text of somebody that called -- somebody that called in, you know, and spoke to the God.

And said, you know, I'm -- I have to tell you, I'm a little -- I'm a little concerned.

I'm a little concerned.

Because I think Donald Trump is going to round everybody who is not white. He's going to round them all up and put them in camps.

And she said, you ready?

You see? See?

I mean, you get it. You get it.

STU: You get it? Okay.

I've got to understand.

The right are the conspiracy theorists.

But every non-white person going into camps is, you get it. From a presidential candidate.

GLENN: Well, you get it, because all he's doing is pedaling fear. So you're afraid.

That she didn't say, he's not going to.

STU: Right. She didn't try to dissolve the fear at all.

GLENN: No. No.

That's why you should vote for me.

Because you're afraid, you will be round up and put into a camp.

STU: But that's an insane fear.

GLENN: Yeah. That is.

STU: That there was no -- hey. By the way, there's no chance that he does this.

And, by the way, the only people who have done it, are progressives.

That wasn't mentioned by Kamala.

GLENN: No. She did mention, that this is the very kind of laws, that -- that have happened before. They rounded up the Japanese. And when she says they, I think she means we.

STU: We.

GLENN: The Democrats did that.

STU: They didn't mention that though.

GLENN: No. Well, they don't like to mention things like the Klan, that was an arm of the democratic party. You know, and they kind of leave out the part that, yeah. It was -- it was us in our big, big eugenics time.

You know, eugenics, part one, we're kind of in eugenics part two right now.

But, yeah. We rounded up the Japanese. Because, you know, there is sub -- there is sub people, you know.

Can't trust them. Can't trust them, you know. They're shifty. And they're short.

STU: That totally goes against their, just announced chopsticks program that they were --

GLENN: Well, reparations. Reparations. So we have to give them some chopsticks. And maybe some rice. Maybe some rice.

I don't think it's offensive to Asian people, do you?

STU: No. It's central to how they're running their campaign.

GLENN: Gosh. That is so absolutely amazing.

Meanwhile, here's what -- here's what Kamala, a spokesperson for Kamala was saying on MSNBC. Now, I want you to listen to this.

If you are, if you're watching, you are going to get the problem with this quickly. But I'll explain for radio listeners. In just a second.

Here it is.

VOICE: And that is probably one of the clearest contrasts you will see last week in this race. You will see the vice president out on the trail, every single day, talking about her ideas, going to these big media platforms to share her vision with the biggest number of Americans possible.

While Donald Trump continues to sort of retreat into himself. In the small MAGA universe. That is all about him.

Because that's all he's really interested in right now.

GLENN: Right. Right.

Okay. So here's the thing. As he's talking, behind him is the video of Donald Trump in Chicago, at an economic forum, where he's doing an interview with a guy who completely disagrees with him.

STU: Goes after him the entire time.

There's a Bloomberg forum.

GLENN: Yeah. It's crazy.

STU: Bloomberg, the former democratic presidential candidate.

GLENN: Right. But he's still in his small little universe. I mean, listen.

This is how contentious it got. Cut two, please.

DONALD: What is the Wall Street Journal -- I'm meeting with them tomorrow. What is the Wall Street Journal -- they've been wrong about everything, so have you, by the way.

You were wrong about --

VOICE: You're trying to turn this.

DONALD: You've been wrong.

VOICE: You're trying to turn this into a debate.

DONALD: It's not a debate. But you're wrong. You've been wrong all your life on this stuff.

GLENN: So -- and now, by the way, he walked into a room, where it was not friendly.

Standing ovation, when he left. And the people that were there said, he turned to like about half the crowd.

Because he was -- I've never heard a president, who actually can speak with experience, and deeply about economic and business issues.

You know, I can -- you know, like Ronald Reagan. You know, he could speak about those things.

And he knew what he knew.

But not from an experience of actually doing. Not being able to talk to businesspeople, and say, look, I've been there, dude.

I know exactly what's happening.

It was really quite remarkable.

And the -- and the interviewer just didn't get him at all.

Listen to this. Cut one.

VOICE: How about this?

Gavin Newscum. He's the governor of California.

VOICE: Newsom.

DONALD: Newscum, I call him. He corrected me. That's the first time --

VOICE: There are CEOs out here. If they said those things about a rival CEO, they would be sacked. Do you think it's --

DONALD: I know. But they don't have to survive like me. They don't have to go through what I have to go through.

There's never been a president being treated like me, so I have to fight my own way.

GLENN: This guy who is doing the -- what's his name?

Michael Thorpe. Yeah, Michael Thorpe

Hello. Yes. Lord Michael Thorpe.

But he's not real popular with the crowd.

At least a good portion of the crowd. Not real popular. And I love that answer from him. They don't have to deal with what I have to deal with.

They don't have to deal with, what I've had to deal with. No president has ever been treated this way.

STU: I love that too.

It's such a stupid point.

If a CEO said that, they would be sacked. Well, Trump was a CEO. And he said stuff like that all the time. I guess if he owned the company, it doesn't happen. That's one way of working on it.

GLENN: Yeah. People actually are really flocking to people who are real.

You know, you may not like Donald Trump.

But at least you know he's real. That's who he is. That's who he is.

Who is Kamala? Seriously.

Can anyone tell me who they think she really is?

STU: I mean, I have my opinions.

You know, but I guess the whole point of her campaign is to hide who she is.

That's the whole point.

This is why it's so incredible. To hear the commentator, you played a couple of seconds ago.

Where they were like, well, what Donald Trump is going to do is he's going to stay in his own MAGA base, and Kamala will be everywhere.

What -- she didn't do an interview for 80 days as a candidate.

Well, most of them as a candidate.

80 days.

She did no interviews for 80 days!

What do you mean?

GLENN: Until her campaign started to fall apart.

STU: Until her campaign started to fall apart.

All of a sudden, we have to do all the interviews.

Not to mention, the previous candidate, didn't do a cabinet meeting for multiple years.

Like how can you possibly be out there arguing this.

GLENN: Because it's a mental illness. It is a mental illness. I really believe. Not all Democrats.

But I think there is probably 20 to 30 percent of the country, that is mentally ill, right now.

Mentally ill. There might be --

STU: That's quite an accusation to say it's that low.

GLENN: And I mean, I mean, honestly, if -- if we were not living in this everything is political kind of state, if you could go back 15 years, and just have doctors, look at people, and I bring my daughter in.

She thinks she's a dog.

And she said that I should -- I should lose my stewardship over my -- my 12-year-old daughter because she's a dog.

And she wants her skin taken off.

And fur glued on to her.

STU: Or fur glued on.

GLENN: I don't know. One of the two. I'm a panicked father right now.

STU: Yes. Exactly.

GLENN: Okay? I'm trying to talk about the health of my daughter.

A doctor would say, we need to put her in a hospital. We need to put her in a hospital.

We need to have at least talk therapy.

Now?

Everybody -- everybody on the left, it seems is like, oh, you monster.

Come here, Fido.

Come here. Let me pet you.

That's even creepy. Doc, you see what's happening over here? That's creepy.

STU: Oh, well, then you need to go to the hospital if you think that's creepy.

GLENN: That's right.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Why Your Actions Matter More Than Words in the Eyes of God

Glenn Beck and Eric Metaxas expose the spiritual crisis gripping America’s churches — a moment they compare to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s warning before World War II. As the culture descends into moral confusion, too many Christians retreat into silence, claiming faith while refusing to act. Together, they argue that true belief demands courage — that “faith without works is dead” — and warn that neutrality in the face of evil is itself a form of complicity.

Watch the FULL Interview HERE

Is Socialism replacing the American dream?

The American Dream used to mean freedom and the chance to build your own life through hard work, faith, and independence. But today, it’s been replaced by comfort, consumption, and debt. Glenn Beck breaks down how America traded liberty for lifestyle, why socialism is gaining ground, and what it will take to reclaim the real American Dream before it disappears for good.

GLENN: I don't know if you saw the visualizing the American dream, Stu.

You know, what the American dream actually is, is that you can forge your own way.

You can -- you know, you can have a scrap of land, and grow your own food if up.

You can, you know, go to school. Not go to school.

You can find a job. If you're qualified for it, you have an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit.

But the percentage of Americans who say the American dream is retirement is 86 percent. Health care, 86 percent. Owning a home, 85. Raising two kids, 78. Owning a car, 72. Vacations, 71. Pets, 66. A wedding, 55 percent. That's the American dream, I can get married.

The American dream, if that's what you think, they've now estimated, the cost per household over the cost -- over the lifetime, retirement is $1.6 million. Owning a home now, 30-year mortgage, 20 percent you want to, is $957,594. Owning a car, buying and finance to begin with new cars every ten years is now $900,000 over your lifetime. Raising two kids to 18, plus four years of public college, $876,092. Two kids. Health care, over your lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000. Vacations, annual vacation from '22 to '85, $180,000. One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000!

That's more expensive than a wedding. The engagement ring, the ceremony, and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200.

There's a reason socialism is doing well. You look at that, and you're like, wow. I mean, if that's the American dream. And for a lot of people, that is the American dream!

That's not what the American dream is supposed to be, but, you know, once -- you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got a hold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff instead of freedom. It became stuff. And, you know, when there's a new report out. Let me see if I have that.

There's a new report out now that shows, first time home buyers made up just 21 percent of the home purchases. That's the lowest on record.

The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all-time high of '62. The median downtowns, reaching 23 percent.

The highest since 2023.

And also, where is it?

The last one is -- the median age for first time home buyers, in 1981, it was 29 years old.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Twenty-nine years old. In 2021, it was 33 years old.

What is it this year?

Median age, first time homeowner, forty.

You're 40 before you can buy any kind of home. That puts these things that people want, dream about, out of reach, until you're 40?

You know, 29 is one thing. But if you're not seeing -- you're not seeing your life really kind of settling down until you're 40, I -- I can understand why you're like, you know what, this system doesn't work.

Because you've never seen it work. It's betrayed you.

Or so you've been sold. It's betrayed you.

And everything is being pushed out of your reach. And when you're young, the one thing you're not is patient.

And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know, yeah. Well, socialism is neat because capitalism isn't working. How would you respond to that?

STU: I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for. But I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people.

That's not -- that's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.

GLENN: But they're not learning that anywhere.

They're not -- that is our responsibility! To teach those things. Because they're not learning it anywhere.

Glenn Beck Warns of 3 Economic Outcomes That Could Change EVERYTHING | Ep 467

Socialism is spreading fast among America’s youth, and the shocking election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City marks a major cultural and economic shift. Glenn exposes how runaway debt, record home prices, AI job disruption, and the collapsing stake in capitalism have led many Millennials and members of Gen Z to embrace socialism and communism. He reveals the three possible economic futures for 2026: two that are disastrous and one that could change everything if the Trump administration’s global financial overhaul succeeds. Plus, Justin Haskins, president of the Heartland Institute, joins to reveal some terrifying truths about why young Americans are embracing socialism from a poll he conducted with Rasmussen Reports.

Glenn Beck warns: We're already in World War III

"The world doesn't understand yet. We're already in World War III," Glenn Beck warns. "That foe is not China. That foe is militant Islam." Glenn explains the battle we're currently facing and what's to come if we don't wake up soon...

GLENN: From New Jersey, it's Brian. Hello, Brian.

CALLER: Hello!

GLENN: Hey.

CALLER: Yeah. Thanks for taking the calls today.

GLENN: Sure.

CALLER: Yeah. I'm worried that we are headed towards another French Revolution-style because we have entire generations. Or actually people just not being heard by their representatives.

GLENN: Hmm.

CALLER: And it's not just here. It's around the world.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

I -- actually, I had scheduled for this time, I'll just do it some other time. Talking about what's happening in -- in England.

I think England is headed for a Civil War. And -- and it's very close.

I mean, you can't put 4,000 people. 4,000 people, in jail, or try them for hate crimes. And speech crimes.

You can't -- you can't do it. In England!

You can't do that in one year. And expect people to just put up with it!

You can't -- you know, we're -- we're -- America doesn't understand yet.

The world doesn't understand.

We're in World War III. We're already in World War III.

I don't know when it becomes a hot war. Or even a war that we on our side recognize. But we are in World War III. And that -- that foe is not China.

That foe is militant Islam, period. And, you know, when we have a situation to where people are -- when the government is just like, no. It's not a problem.

It's not a problem. You know. You've got illegals all over.

It's not a problem.

It's not a problem.

It is a problem. Don't tell me what -- what the problems are not!

Because we're the ones living it!

You're the experts, who keep telling us, no. It's going to work out fine.

And it doesn't work out fine. And it just gets worse and worse.

Oh. We can spend this money. No. It looks like we can't spend this money. Oh, we can afford this. No. It looks like we can't afford this.

You know, if we do this with Ukraine, it will work out fine. No, it didn't, did it? These endless wars, all of this stuff, don't tell me what the problem is. Listen to the people and start talking to the people. Honestly, this is the reason why I'm doing this today. I -- I need to hear from you.

I need to know what's on your mind, so I stay focused and -- and clear on what America is saying.

Because I don't think -- look, you know, me taking phone calls is -- is not a true representation of anything, but it does give me a sense of -- of where you are, as an audience. Maybe not as America, but as an audience. And there are lots of things that concern me. But I want to hear it from you.
But I think you're right! We're headed for real, real trouble. All you need is real economic trouble.

You start getting real, true economic trouble. 1930s kind of depression stuff. And we're in Civil War.

Dan, Oregon. Welcome!

CALLER: Hello, Glenn. How are you?

GLENN: I'm great!

CALLER: Yeah. Good. It's been a long time.

I guess it's been over ten years, since I've had a chance to talk with you. I was one of your first insiders. I was listening to you, since you were in Florida.

GLENN: Wow. Wow.

CALLER: So it's been a long -- yeah. It has been. And I can't say I've enjoyed all of it.
(laughter)

GLENN: Neither have I!

STU: I can't say that either, I'll be honest with you.

CALLER: You know, you were talking on yesterday's show, reminiscing with Stu about how you guys started. And I remember those old shows. And, you know, at the end of the -- the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Right.

CALLER: And there was a lot more entertainment. I remember I laughed a lot.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. I know. I know. Those days are long dead.
(laughter)

STU: There's nothing to laugh about now.

CALLER: Yeah. I -- I'm 78. I still work 40 hours a week. I love my job.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: Been married for 55 years. I have seven kids.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: I've got a daughter -- I've got a daughter who is in her 40s. And she has severe TDS. She -- we don't -- I mean, we're not cutting each other off. She hasn't done that at all. We're still very close as a family. But she was down visiting the other day, and got into a conversation with my wife. And I wasn't in the room. But Kathy said it was just like listening to one of those young people out on the street that was being interviewed by the news media. And she was -- and she was in tears about it. My wife and my daughter both.

And, I mean, I love her, and I continue to support her. She's a single woman, not by choice. She just never found the right guy.

GLENN: Yeah.

CALLER: And I really think that's part of the problem. Because she started reading -- back when Trump was first running, she started reading all of this stuff about him being misogynistic and all of this stuff.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

CALLER: And it's just gotten worse. I -- I'm at a loss. I really am. Because I -- like, I see the country doing better. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I still feel like that at least right now, we're doing better as a whole. But what do we do about -- what do we do about our kids about -- she went to Portland State University for the last two --

GLENN: Oh, jeez, for the love of --

CALLER: Well, yeah. For the last two years, she went to -- she went to a little college in Idaho called Ricks for the first two years, and Utah State.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

CALLER: And then she served a mission for our church in Brazil and came home, but then she went to Portland State University. And it just seems to have gone downhill from there.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. So, Dan, I think you are suffering from the same thing that almost all parents are suffering from. If you're not suffering from this, then, I mean, God bless you. You know, get on your knees and thank God. Because you are a lucky, lucky family. Everybody has in their family. I have it in my family.

And you have to ask yourself, what is your goal?

My -- what is your goal with your daughter? Your real goal?

CALLER: My real goal is for us to be united eternally. That's my goal. That's my goal as a father and has been to teach her --

GLENN: And how -- and how is that going to happen with politics?

CALLER: We just stay together as a family regardless of what politics does.

GLENN: That's exactly right. Exactly right.

I think we're in a place now where as parents, you can ask your kids, but it has to be honest. It cannot be trying to win. It has to be honest. How did you get there?

I mean, I remember. You know, we've talked about this before. And you didn't believe that before. What has changed?

Can you help me with that?

I would like to see what you're reading, or what that was.

And just ask questions. But they have to be honest. They can't be, you know, because I'm setting you up. Because I want to change your mind.

But keep a dialogue open with them. And just love them!

Just love them!

Because if you do anything else, you're going to drive them away. And then they're really lost. So just love them.

CALLER: Oh, I know that. Glenn, when she was young -- when she was young, I considered her one of the elect. And the Scripture says, that in the last days, even the elect are going to be deceived. And that's what I'm seeing. But everything you've said, I -- I am doing. I'm doing it that way. Because I know --

GLENN: Okay. Good. Then you didn't need to -- I appreciate it. I'm so glad you called me. But you didn't need to -- my advice, you already have it down. You're a very wise man.
