The TRUTH About Gen Z's "Entitlement"

Gen Z gets a bad rap as entitled, lazy, and whiny. But is that true, or should we listen to their complaints about things like 9-to-5 jobs? Glenn gives his message to Gen Z: Yes, your life is hard…because you’ve been lied to by a government that just wants more power, no matter how it affects you. Something is very wrong in America when you are working all day and still can’t pay your bills, or when you were told to spend a fortune on a degree that ends up being worthless. But the solution isn’t more government handouts. In fact, that’s a big part of the problem.

GLENN: So let me speak to Gen Zers here.

I can't imagine what you're going through.

I -- I would hate to be in your position.

When I was your age, we didn't have to deal with any of this stuff. Your life has been tough. And at the same time, in comparison, your life has been very easy. And what I say, what I mean by that is, your early life as a child, was -- was very easy, in some ways. Because everybody was rushing to, you know, save you, protect you. Et cetera, et cetera.

Which makes your life harder now.

You know, when we fell down, and went boom, you know. Our parents were like, oh, look who is -- look whose head just went boom. And they knew that would help us not cry. Right now, your parents have mostly been involved in everything. Your counselors at the schools have been involved in everything. And everybody is making sure that you feel great all the time.

Which doesn't make you feel great. You've grown up with social media, doesn't make you feel great. You have grown up with literally the definition of narcissism, somebody gazing into the pond, looking at themselves all the time.

You've had that, and -- and this system of -- of a self-facing cell phone has -- and I don't mean this as an offense. Because everybody has experienced this. This is not just Gen Zers. But we've become narcissists. And it's all about me, me, me, me.

So you've already navigated landscape, that we didn't have to. You navigated landscape where nothing is true. And you don't trust anybody.

I wouldn't either. I don't, anymore.

But life is worth it, that's the first thing.

Life is really tough, really tough.

But it is worth it. In the end.

But life is not about stuff.

And as -- as a guy who is kind of a pack rat, I can tell you that none of that stuff will create happiness in your life.

And I think your generation has a better handle on happiness. In some ways. Than anybody in my generation. You're starting to realize, that, hey, pharmaceuticals, maybe not as good as natural. The big, huge house, maybe not as-needed as just having a smaller house, and then living your life, instead of having to work all the time and never going to experience it. My friends always say, Glenn, you've worked your whole life. You should go travel the world. I can't. I can't. Because I'm working.

And so I think you have a better balance, at least on what you want. However, there are some things that you have now been brought up to believe that are true, that are not true.

For instance, DEI and -- and CRT. And all of this crap.

You know, reimagining the police.

There are bad police out there.

There are. But when you -- when you reimagine the police, in a way where no police officers want to work in your at the, you get looters and squatters.

And riots.

And that feeds on I need to say. Especially when your politicians convince you that the right thing to do is to show compassion, and say, oh, well, wait a minute. Maybe they were deranged in some way or another. And so we're not going to put any of these people in jail. Or hold them.

And they commit crime after crime after crime.

And it becomes organized crime. That's what's happening. And somebody has to pay for that.

So when your Walgreens goes out of business, in your neighborhood.

It's harder on you.

When -- when they have to pay more for insurance, because people keep robbing them, well, then everything in that store goes up in price.

When politicians convince you, that minimum wage should be $25 an hour. Or I've heard 50, lately.

That means, the price of your hamburger and everything else, is going to go up. And so it affects you. Who pays for these things?

Actions, by politicians, have consequences.

You can't afford health care?

You can't afford a house? You can't really afford really even food? I understand.

And that is real. And it shouldn't be that way. But give me five minutes, and perhaps you'll look at it, in a different way. So we can fix it, together.

Look, picking a real estate agent, out of the hat, is not a good deal. You really need to know who they are. What they've done. What they stand for. What the business practices they are. Are they the best business practices?

What is their marketing campaign like? Do they have people already looking for a house like yours?

Because they have a good marketing campaign. If -- if you don't know to ask these questions. And most people don't. You're going to have somebody like you're just picking a name out of the hat, for your real estate agent.

GLENN: I want to continue our conversation with Gen Zers that feel like it's not worth even trying to go to work, because you'll never get anywhere. You can't afford.

I work full-time, 40-hour week. You still can't afford a place to live. You're still living with your parents. You can't afford food.

And I think they're right to feel this way. That wasn't always the case. But I want them to know, that I blame a lot of it on the hippies. And that may be wrong, but I hate hippies. Hippies have been screwing things up since the 1960s.

And they have been on this socialist march, and they have become everything that they said, they sacrificed back in the 1960s.

They have been liars and politicians.

And they have become greedy for themselves.

And they just won't let go, their time has passed. But these are the people, that have come up with all of these policies, that now, you feel like this is the way the world is.

It doesn't have to be this way.

And I was talking about crime. Looters. Squatters. Riots.

Somebody has to pay for that.

Actions have consequences.

Votes have consequences.

You say, you can't afford health care. I understand that. That's crazy!

Crazy!

My own company used to provide the best health care insurance, in all of New York City, and New York State. At one point, after Obamacare passed, they were taxing us, you know, Cadillac tax taxes. I was the only company, that still carried that, until the insurance company stopped carrying it. Why? Since Obamacare passed, health care costs have gone up 55 percent for the average premium. That's without inflation figured in. 13,000, to 21,000.

But that's just from 2013 to 2020. That doesn't include the last three years. Since Biden has entered office, it's up again, from 21,000, to $24,000 a year.

That is an increase of 80 percent. But you have to remember, politicians promised that if we passed this big government program, it would mean a savings of $2,500 per family.

I -- I mean, you're in school. You know.

2,500-dollar savings is not the same as an 80 percent increase. Hospitals, your hospital stay? Is up to 210 percent.

I understand, you can't afford. I can't afford health care. At these costs.

Who can afford health care?

Who can afford insurance?

You also are starting your life thousands of dollars in debt.

Your parents didn't have to have that. They didn't.

I could take a job, and work a job, to pay for your college, as you went.

You can't do that now.

When they took out, their loans, most likely the government wasn't behind their loans. Once that happened, once the government said, you know what, we're going to guarantee all the loans. Once that happened, like health care, the cost of going to a university skyrocketed. And it hasn't stopped. In 1965, it was Lyndon B. Johnson who said, we're going to just guarantee.

We're going to guarantee everybody's college. Don't worry about it, we will help you with the loan.

Well, once the government guaranteed it, universities found, well, we can just charge more. And they have been charging more and more.

In 1965. It was $450 a year, to go to college. Now, let's change with inflation. With inflation, that's $4,000 a year.

You're currently paying on the average, $26,000 a year. As opposed to inflation-adjusted 4,000. What happened?

What happened? By the way, books, the cost of books, up 155 percent.

Gas, gas is up. Why?

Government regulations. Can't afford a house?

Well, that's due to several things. Many of them revolve around the fed and our debt. Look, you have been fed lies, probably your whole life, and your parents just realized it, during COVID.

Okay?

There's something called common sense. And hopefully, you have it. Hopefully, it hasn't been beaten out of you, in this -- in these -- indoctrination camps we call schools.

The US government has run a debt. And we have been concerned about it forever. But they haven't been listening to your mom and dad, and people like me. They haven't been listening. And a lot of people just thought, oh, well. We could get away with it. And somehow or another, it will all work out.

And many of us have been saying, no. We can't pass this on to our children.

And you're now seeing, what we have passed on. So when you say, generation Z, that, you know, this is -- the adults. You created this world. In some ways, yeah. You're right. You're right.

We were lied to, and as many people do, they want to believe the lie.

Because it makes them feel better. Quite honestly, it's -- it's what's happening in your generation with, that's a female. When it's not.

It's a male. And he feels like a -- a female. He wants to be a female. But it makes us feel better to go along with the lie. Because we don't want to hurt his feelings.

It's the same thing that happened, except this was with money. We wanted to believe that we could spend all this money. Because honestly, it would provide you, our children, with a better life.

And when anybody said, wait. We will to have pay this off.

This will cost them.

We never saw the consequence, and it was always way out in the future. Nobody wanted to listen to the doomsday people saying, no. It's going to come faster than you think.

And that time is right now. Our government now, is printing 1 trillion dollars every 100 days. It's never been done. We have more debt than any country has ever had. In the history of the world.

But we're not alone.

Every country is -- is doing this.

They're going into debt, like we've never seen before. And we're all about to pay for that. And it's going to make your life even harder.

That's why, real, true constitutional conservatives, okay?

And you have to -- you have to understand, that everything is being -- is being cut into refractions now.

There are Marxists, and there are decent Democrats, that still believe in the Constitution, and the rule of law.

There are Republicans, that still believe in spending all kinds of money.

Getting us involved in every war around.

And then there are constitutional conservatives. That believe that we should conserve the things that have worked. Throw out the things that don't work.

But we can only do those things that are allowed by our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. You haven't really learned about those, most likely.

But you should. Because all of our -- all of our problems, are caused by government. And the people, supporting a government, that will do things, that are want in our Constitution.

But that's what this election is really all about.

And you might say, I don't really care.

I don't really care. I don't like either of them.

I know a lot of people, don't like either of them.
But one is going to try to cut the size of this government down. Which is causing the problems.

All of these programs. All of the things, that we've said we have wanted. You know, your parents can't retire now.

You know, you have the opportunity, that they didn't. They were promised. I was promised, that we could retire at 65. And we would get Social Security. And we could live off that.

There's no way you could live off that. You, if you look at the bright side, you're paying for Social Security now.

But at least you know, you're never going to get it. I'm probably the first generation, that knows, we're not going to get it. We're not, it was a lie.

But all of the people that are older than I am, they didn't necessarily know it was a lie.

And now, they're stuck. And I know people think about retirement. But honestly, especially for guys, if you retire, you generally die. There is no such thing as retirement. That doesn't mean you stay in the same job, doing the same things.

But you -- you work. You work. It's something. Something that drives you maybe if you're lucky, by the time you're older.

But man is meant to work. We have to find a way, to keep the people who have been raping this country and our Treasury for so many years, away from you.

Because if they teach you, like they taught us, that all of this stuff will work. You're only going to see much, much more pain.

So we have to try to protect you, so you can do your things, while we, my generation stands between you, and the older generation. That just have raped, robbed, and pillaged through their hippie policies. We say, stand back. Enough is enough. Enough is enough.

Let go. My generation should not be the one that takes the power now. Really, the younger generation. Thirty, 40 years old.

They're the ones. Because they will have to live with it, a lot longer than I am.

And the people who created it, cannot fix it. But it can be fixed.

You just have to learn enough about the truth, about why this has happened to us. Why did we make it for so long? Longer -- this Constitution lasted longer than any other Constitution in the world.

The average is 17 years. This thing has lasted hundreds of years. Why?

How?

And why is it falling apart today?

That's what you should dedicate some of your time to figuring out today.

Not just complaining.

You can complain.

I complain. Everybody complains. But learn what caused this. And if you end up thinking that Marxism is the solution. More collectivism is the solution.

Then you haven't done enough homework in the past.

Because that always ends the same way.

And the way that starts at the end. Is exactly what we're going through right now.

Has THIS Islamist organization BROKEN state laws for YEARS?!

A new report accuses CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, of breaking state laws with its political activism. Glenn Beck reviews this story...

GLENN: So let me go over what is -- what's happening with -- with CAIR.

You know, the Founding Fathers were obsessed over accountability.

Because they knew one thing. You know, they did. They must get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets. They studied every single system of government.

Every single republic that survived. That didn't survive.

Why didn't it survive?

They studied all forms of government. They were trying to come up with something that could -- could set people free.

And they -- they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place, because they knew, once power slips into the shadows. They knew, once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored from law, what rises is not a republic.

It's a machine. And that's what you're seeing right now. We're not living in a republic. We're living in a machine.

We -- I think we're staring at one of the largest unregulated political machines operating in the United States ever! Okay.

There have been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping investigations, two watchdog groups. One of them is NCRI and the Intelligent Advocacy Network.

And they have concluded now that the political arm of CAIR, he known as CAIR action, has been operating nationwide with no legal authority, to do the things it has been doing for years now.

They're not allowed to raise money. They've been raising money. Coordinating political campaigns.

Not allowed to do it. Endorsing candidates. Not allowed to do it, they're doing it. Mobilizing voters, shaping policy, functioning as a national advocacy network.

They don't have the legal authority to do any of it. And no one has said anything.

Now, according to the report, CAIR action doesn't just have a paperwork problem.

Investigators found, state by state, that it lacks the license, the registrations. The charitable authorizations, required to legally solicit money.

Excuse me. Or conduct political activity, in any of the 22 states in which it operates. Think of that!

I know how serious this is, because I remember what it took to get the license in each and every state, for Mercury One.

So we could operate. We could raise money. We could do things in those states. It's a lot of work. And if you don't do it, you go to jail. And they find out pretty quickly.

Okay?

22 states, they operate not one, zero legal authorization.

In Washington, DC, the city where CAIR action is incorporated, the department of licensing and consumer protection told investigators, they have no record of CAIR action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.

Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial.

How long would you remain in business, if you never had a business license?

You think somebody would figure that out?

In a sooner time than I don't know. A couple of decades!

This report means, that the organization if true, is engaging in unlicensed inner state solicitation.

It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation. Wire fraud and false statements to the IRS. These are big things.

And this is not political rhetoric.

Are these phrases written in black and white. In the law.

And by investigators. In California, one of CAIR's most active hubs. The state attorney general has said, the state attorney general of California has said, same pattern here!

The state of California, to say, yep. That's what's happening here.

CAIR action has never registered with California's charitable registry.

Never filed the required CT1 form. And has no authorization whatsoever to request donations. But they've been doing it in California anyway.

Fundraising, selling memberships. Issuing endorsements. Mobilizing voters. All of that has been done by CAIR action. There's no record of any license. Any permission, ever. Going to CAIR. From California. That's according to their attorney general.

Wow!

That's pretty remarkable, huh? How does that happen?

It's not just the coast. It is also happening to the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West. Every state hosting its own CAIR action fundraising page, complete with the donate now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate. That's bad!

Now, here's where the stakes rise.

Because CAIR action presents itself openly, as the political arm of CAIR National.

Investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity.

Could become CAIR's national responsibility as well.

So, in other words, the parent, CAIR itself, might be held responsible.

Meaning, this is want just a rogue subdivision.

This could implicate the entire National Organization of CAIR.

Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny. It's also Texas.

And I think Florida have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization. Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations. I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.

How long have we been saying this?

But every time, I have pointed out anything about CAIR, I have been called an Islamophobe, which shuts everything down. That is a word, developed by people like CAIR, to shut people down, so you'll never look into them.

So what happens next?

First of all, the reports have to hold up.

Regulators now have an obligation. Not a choice. An obligation to act!

State attorneys general in these 22 states, they might pursue fines, injunctions, criminal referrals.

All of them need to take action!

The IRS, needs to take action. Investigate tax exempt fraud. Treasury Department may review foreign influence or money flow violations.

Anything coming from overseas.

Oh, I can't imagine it. They're so buttoned up, right now.

DC regulators may determine whether CAIR actions entire fundraising operation has been unlawful from the beginning.

But here's the deeper question. And it's not bureaucratic. This one is constitutional.

Can the United States tolerate an influence machine, that operates outside of the legal framework, designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?

If I hear one more time, talking about how AIPAC has just got to be investigated. Fine. Investigate.

I'm not against it.

Investigate.

Why aren't you saying anything about CAIR?

It feels like it might be a tool in the hands of a foreign operation.

Why aren't you saying anything about this?

Because here it is! It's not like, hey. I wonder why.

This is it! This is it! This isn't about silencing CAIR. Muslim Americans are -- that are full citizens, they have every right to speak. Every right to vote. Every right to organize. Participate in public life. No question! They can disagree with me, all they want.

But no organization. None! Not mine. Not yours. Not theirs. None. Should operate a nationwide political network, in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow!

That's called a fourth branch of government!

That's how a fourth branch goes.

By the way, CAIR has placed all kinds of people in our Department of Homeland Security. Et cetera, et cetera. This organization has done it!

This is -- you cannot have a fourth branch of government.

They must abide by the laws.

No -- you can't have a branch that nobody elected. Nobody oversees.

Nobody holds accountable.

We talked about this yesterday, on yesterday's podcast. So what needs to happen is total transparency. CAIR action has to release its filings. Its donor structure. Its compliance records, if they exist. Equal enforcement under the law. I don't want them prosecuted in special ways.

Look, if AIPAC is doing the same thing. AIPAC should be prosecuted exactly the same way.
I want it equal. I want constitutional rule.

If conservatives, if Catholics, pro-Israel, environmental, Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does CAIR action.

And if CAIR action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists, and pro-Israel and conservative groups. The law cannot be selective. It can't be!

I don't know how that's controversial in today's world. But somehow or another, they will find a way.

The Feds have to review all of this. If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.

Americans deserve to know what exactly, who is influencing our elections. Who is shaping our policy? Who is raising money in their state?

Especially physical the organization claims political authority, that it doesn't legally possess.

Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson. When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum because power abhors a vacuum!

Unregulated, political power abhors a free people. So while it's about CAIR, it's not about Muslim Americans. It's not about religion.

As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.

One standard for everyone or no standard at all!

And that more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.

Glenn Beck WARNS Democrats Will Return with VENGEANCE in 2026 | Glenn TV | Ep 473

America is entering a year of historic upheaval from Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the spiritual shock that followed, to Trump’s tariff revolution, China’s rare-earth war, collapsing energy grids, AI displacement, and the looming fights over Taiwan and Venezuela. Glenn sits down with BlazeTV hosts ‪@deaceshow‬ and ‪@lizwheeler‬ along with his head researcher Jason Buttrill, to break down the biggest stories of 2025. Plus, they each give their most explosive prediction for 2026 that could shape our politics, economy, national security, and civil rights in ways Americans have never experienced before.

Trump Just SHATTERED the “Expert Class” - And the Deep State is in Total Panic

For nearly a century, Washington DC has been ruled by an unelected “expert class” operating as an unconstitutional fourth branch of government — accountable to no one, removable by no president, and shielded from all consequences. Glenn breaks down why Trump’s firing of the Federal Trade Commissioner could finally dismantle the 1935 precedent that empowered technocrats, how Ketanji Brown Jackson exposed the Supreme Court’s embrace of expert rule, and why America cannot survive a government run by people who never face the voters and never pay for their failures.

GLENN: Okay. So President Donald Trump fired the federal trade commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. Federal Trade Commission is an administrative position. I mean, this is under -- the head of the federal trade commission is a cabinet member.

And if the justices uphold Trump's firing of Slaughter, that will overturn a precedent that was horrible, that was set in 1935. Remember, 1935, we're flirting with fascism. You know, everybody thinks. Because they haven't seen the horrors of fascism yet.

Everybody thinks fascism is neat, blah, blah. So what they do is they say that this is an independent person. And the president can't fire them. Because they're, you know, an independent agency.

Well, wait. That would make a fourth branch of government. Our Constitution is really clear.

There is no such thing as a fourth branch of government. Right?

So that's what they're deciding. Now, here is Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is talking about how we really need to listen to the experts. Cut four.

VOICE: Because presidents have accepted that there could be both an understanding of Congress and the presidency. That it is in the best interest of the American people to have certain kinds of issues, handled by experts. Who, and I think you -- in your colloquy, Justice Kagan, have identified the fact that these boards are not only experts, but they're also nonpartisan. So the -- the seats are actually distributed in such a way, that we are presumably eliminating political influence because we're trying to get to science and data and actual facts, related to how these decisions are made.

And so the real risk, I think, of allowing non- -- of allowing these kinds of decisions to be made by the president, of saying, everybody can just be removed when I come in, is that we will get away from those very important policy considerations.

VOICE: We will get away from US policy considerations, and it will create opportunities for all kinds of problems that Congress and prior presidents wanted to avoid, risks that flow inevitably, just given human nature, the realities of the world that we live in.

GLENN: Okay.

Now, remember, what she's saying here is, we have to have experts.

We have to have experts. We have to have experts that don't really answer to anybody. Okay?

They're appointed. And then they're just there. This from a, quote, judicial expert, who cannot define a woman, because she's not a doctor.
She's not a scientist.

She needs an expert to define a woman.
That's how insane her thinking is. Okay?

Now, I would just like to ask the Supreme Court, when you want things run by experts, do you mean things like the State Department, or the counsel of foreign relations, that have gotten us into these endless war wars for 100 years?

Because these are the things that Woodrow Wilson wanted. He wanted the country run by experts.

Okay. So is it like the Council of Foreign Relations, that keep getting us into these endless wars.

Or is it more like the Fed, that directs our fiscal policy, that has driven us into $38 trillion of at the time. We have all powerful banks. That strangely all belong to the fed. And endless bailouts for those banks. Are those the experts that you're talking about?

Or are you talking about the experts that are doctors, that gave the country sterilizations, lobotomies, transgender surgeries. You know, or should we listen to the experts, like the ones that are now speaking in Illinois, to get us death on demand like Canada has, with their MAID assisted suicide, which is now the third largest killer in Canada. MAID, assisted suicide, third largest killer in Canada. Experts are saying, we now need it here, and they're pushing for it in Illinois. Or should we listen to the experts? And I think many of them are the same experts strangely, that brought us COVID. Yeah. That was an expert thing. They were trying to protect us. Because they need to do this for our protection. So direct from the labs in China with the help of the American experts like Fauci. We almost put the world out.

Should we listen to those guys?

Or the experts that brought us masking, and Home Depot is absolutely safe. But Ace Hardware wants to kill grandma. Which are the experts that we want? That we want to make sure that we have in our lives? That they don't answer, or can't be fired by anybody. Because I'm pretty full up on the experts, myself. I don't know.

But you're right. These experts would keep the president in check, and they would keep Congress in check. And you in check!

And the Supreme Court, which would be really great. You know, and you know who else they would keep in check? The people.

So, wow, it seems like we would just be a nation run by experts, and our Constitution would be out the window, because that's a fourth branch!

And if you don't believe me, that, you know, these experts never pay a price. Can you name a single expert?

Give me a name of an expert, that gave us any of the things that I just told you about.

Give me the name. I mean, give me the name of one of them. Give me the name of one of them that went to jail. Give me the name of one expert that has been discredited.

You know, where your name will be mud in this town. Do you know where that came from?

Your name is going to be mud. It's not M-U-D. It's M-U-D-D, that comes from Dr. Samuel Mudd. Okay? He was a docks man. He was an expert. He was that set John Wilkes Booth' broken leg. He made crutches. He let him stay there for a while. He claimed he didn't know him, but he did know him.

In fact, one of the reasons they proved it.

Is because when he pulled the boots off -- when he pulled both of his boots off, right there, in the back, you couldn't have missed it. It said "John Wilkes Booth."

He's like, I have no idea who he was.

Yeah. Well, you knew him in advance. This was a predetermined outpost where he could stay. It's clear you could know him.

The guy was still discredited, we still use his name today. Your name will be mud in this town.

And we think that it's like dirt, mixed with water kind of mud. No, it's M-U-D-D, Dr. Mudd. The expert that was so discredited, went to jail, paid for his part of the assassination of -- of Lincoln.

Give me the name of one of the experts in the last 100 years, that has brought us any of the trials and the tribulations. The things that have almost brought us to our knees. Give me the name of one of them. Can't!

Because once an expert class, they don't answer to anyone. So they never go to jail.

Wow! Doesn't that sound familiar. People never going to jail!

There's a rant that's going around right now, that I did in 2020. And everybody is like, see. He's talking about Pam Bondi.

No, no. I got to play this for you, a little later on in the program. But I want to get to the experts and what the Constitution actually says about that. Because you don't need my opinion. What you need are the actual facts. So you can stand up and say, yeah. I think Ketanji Brown Jackson is an idiot. Okay?

And she's really not an expert on anything. Especially the Constitution. You need the facts, on what the Founders said. Because the Founders would be absolutely against what they did in 1935.

Because that just -- what does it do?

It just sets up a fourth branch of government.

EXPLAINED: Why the Warner-Netflix/Paramount Merger is DANGEROUS for All of Us

The biggest media merger in modern history is unfolding, and Glenn Beck warns it’s the most dangerous consolidation of power America has faced in decades. With six corporations already controlling 90% of the nation’s news and entertainment, a Warner-Netflix or Warner-Paramount megacorporation would create an unstoppable information cartel. Glenn exposes how “too big to fail” thinking is repeating itself, how global elites and “experts” are tightening their grip, and why handing our entire cultural narrative to a handful of companies is a direct threat to freedom. The hour is late — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

GLENN: By the way, it's never good when you consolidate power. It's never good.

And what is going on now, with this Netflix Warner Brothers paramount stuff, I don't care if Larry Ellison is a conservative or not.

No one should have that much power.

I did a show, gosh, four years ago. I don't even remember when I did it.

We looked it up. In the 1980s. 19 percent of American media was owned by over 50 companies.

Forty years later, 90 percent of the media is watched and controlled by six companies.

National Amusements, the Red Stone Family controls CBS, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, gaming and internet. Simon & Schuster Books. That's all one.

Disney, ABC, ESPN, History Channel, Marvel, Star Wars, video games and print.

TimeWarner controls CNN, Warner Brothers, HBO, Turner, video games, internet, and print media like TIME. Comcast, MSNBC, NBC.

CNBC, Telemundo, the Internet.

New Corp. Fox. National Geographic. Ton of others. Sony, with a ton of movies, music and more. The big six. They're valued at nearly $500 billion.

Now, this is something I put together five years ago. So I don't even know. This is probably not even valid even today.

And now we're talking about Netflix, Warner Brothers. Paramount, into all of these one giant corporation. It's wrong! It's wrong!

We can't keep putting all -- everything into the hands of just a few! It's what's killing us!

We've got to spread this around. We can't -- the government cannot okay mergers like this.

They're big enough he has

What happened -- what happened when the banks went under, or almost went under in '08. What did they say the problem was?

They said the banks are too big to fail.

Too big to fail.

Because they were providing all of the services, everybody needs. All the time. And there's only a handful of them.

So if they fall, then everything falls.

Right?

That was the problem. So what did we do to fix it?

We made them bigger!

We let them merge with other banks, and gobble up other things!

And started taking on the local banks.

And so now, your banks that were too big to fail. Are now even bigger. And their failure would be even worse!

What is wrong with us?

Seriously, we're not this stupid.

We're not this stupid.

I think we're just this comfortable.

We just think the experts have a plan. No. The experts don't have a plan.

Their plan is stupid. Their plan is to make it bigger.

Every time it fails. Make it bigger. Push it up.

Make it more global.

No. Haven't you seen what the entire world is like?

The entire world is over-leveraged. The entire world is on the edge.

The entire world is being redesigned.
So what do we do? We don't allow them to make things bigger! We need to start taking more individual and local control of things. They're making it bigger. Which will make the problem bigger. And make the problem so big, you won't be able to do anything about it, because all the experts. All of the heads. They'll all -- there will be six of them. And they will all be sitting in one room.

And they will all be making the instigations. And with them, making those decisions will be all the heads of all the countries around the world, that you're not going to have a say in any of that. They're already trying to do it with the WEF.

But if -- if the Supreme Court says, no, experts matter. And the president can't fire them. You will not have any control over anything!

We're at this place, where we can back out. We can turn around.

We can do it.

It's not too late. But the hour is growing very late.

I don't know about you, I don't like being this.

Up to the edge, you know what I mean?

I would rather have lots of breathing room, between me and the edge of the cliff.

But we don't have that anymore.

Everything has to be done right.

And we have to pay attention.

And the worst thing we can do is make things bigger.

Dream big, think small.
