You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

140.874 - 169.491 Glenn Beck

I want to say something really, really careful because this matters. A conversation is happening in our country right now about housing, about corporations being able to buy homes, and whether they should be allowed to do that at all. And my first instinct is... No, because the pain this is causing and the pain is real. Young families are locked out. Rents rising faster than wages.

0

169.631 - 203.01 Glenn Beck

Communities hollowed out. And you have governments all around the world who are pushing for you will own nothing and you'll like it. Meaning somebody owns everything. You're just a constant renter. You're a serf. Yesterday, Donald Trump said we should pass a law that will ban corporations from buying houses. And at first I was like, yes, because the problem is real.

0

203.531 - 217.387 Glenn Beck

Finally, somebody is recognizing this problem. But every libertarian bone in me went, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Because banning ownership is not freedom.

Chapter 6: What is the difference between rugged individualism and collectivism?

218.148 - 245.408 Glenn Beck

It's just not. What is the difference between Mamdani saying, if you're white, you're going to have a different relationship with ownership than you've had before. Because you're not going to be able to buy things that others can buy. That's not a free society. Once you decide who can own property, you've crossed a line that history tells us is not easily crossed back in the other direction.

0

249.314 - 274.091 Glenn Beck

But here's the part that we have to be honest with ourselves about, because pretending otherwise is honestly how we lose the country. What is happening in our country right now is not a free market anymore. You can look at it that way. If you squint really, really hard and lie to yourself every day, you can go, yeah, we're a capitalist country. It's a free market. It's not.

0

274.853 - 301.072 Glenn Beck

And until we admit that, we will just put Band-Aids on and we will start making decisions that are not right for a free people. We've built something entirely different from the free market. Anybody who was born in, I don't know, past 2000, I don't think you've never lived under a free market. You don't know what it's like, especially if your first memories are from 2008 plus.

0

301.773 - 322.025 Glenn Beck

The free market is gone. Here's what a free market does. A free market, a real market, risk matters. In a real market, price signals mean something. You can look at a corporation's paperwork and you can go, oh, I see what's going on here.

0

Chapter 7: How does Glenn Beck view the current state of the free market?

322.065 - 353.038 Glenn Beck

Nope, that stock's going to go down because of this X, Y, and Z. But when X, Y, and Z show really bad news and the stock goes up, you're not in a real market. In a real market, if you make a bad bet, you lose. But that's not what's happening, at least not at the corporate level. That's not happening in housing. Housing has been transformed into a financial instrument.

0

353.458 - 383.434 Glenn Beck

It's not about a house for a family. It's about a financial instrument. And this isn't by accident. This is policy. It comes from years of zero interest rates, trillions of cheap dollars, government-backed mortgages, pipelines that are all securitized, regulatory advantages that favor the size or the lawyers and the leverage that you don't have access to.

0

384.629 - 411.935 Glenn Beck

Our federal government didn't just invite Wall Street into housing. It pulled it by the collar and said, you are doing these things because it's good for our reelection, and I'll protect you if there's a problem. That's not a free market. So when a hedge fund goes in and buys 10,000 single-family homes, competing against first-time buyers... That's not capitalism.

0

412.536 - 429.503 Glenn Beck

It's not because they don't have any risk. That's state distorted concentration of capital. Then when the government turns around and says, you know what? This is out of control. We have to ban ownership.

0

Chapter 8: What constitutional issues are raised regarding the National Guard's role?

430.006 - 451.525 Glenn Beck

That's not a solution. It'll feel good. Felt good to me yesterday when he said that. I was like, yes, finally. It'll feel good, but it's not really a solution. That's like the state breaking your leg and then saying, here, I got a wheelchair for you. You're the one who broke my leg. How about we stop breaking people's legs instead of giving them wheelchairs?

0

453.85 - 486.471 Glenn Beck

The problem is not corporate ownership. The problem is privileged ownership. The problem is when government quietly rigs the game. I mean, we saw this in 2008. When a government socializes the losses and all the gains are privatized. You win, you keep the money. You lose, I'm going to spread that to the taxpayer. That's not free market. That's rigging.

0

487.031 - 521.679 Glenn Beck

When financial instruments are guaranteed because you're large, you've got a huge system behind you, you've got a lot of money, when that is guaranteed for the large and the small guy can't afford it, then you've rigged the game again. Again, when risk is absorbed by you, but profit is captured by the institution. That's not liberty. That's not capitalism. That's corporatism.

0

523.681 - 547.676 Glenn Beck

And, you know, people used to say, oh, the government, the republics are just for the corporations. Not for the corporations. I don't like corporatism. I don't like fascism. That's a public private partnership. That is literally what the WEF, the World Economic Forum, and Joe Biden was talking about in speech after speech. We're going to have a public private partnership.

0

547.737 - 575.292 Glenn Beck

That is the literal definition of fascism. corporatism leads to someplace really, really dark that we don't want to go to. Once people are priced out of ownership, once property becomes something that you can only rent from institutions, remember communism, the government just takes it all and they tell you where you're going to live and everybody gets a house.

575.332 - 603.619 Glenn Beck

But I mean, depends on how popular you are with the state. Okay. That's communism. Fascism is when the government gets into bed with giant corporations and the corporations are allowed to own everything, but only under the direction of the government. They play ball with the government. And again, in fascism, you really don't own anything. Everybody else owns something and you don't.

605.287 - 628.069 Glenn Beck

Once property is something that you only rent from institutions, then you've changed the relationship between the citizen and the state. You're no longer independent. You're no longer rooted. You're no longer secure in anything. You're managed. And that's what we've been fighting against. I have been. I don't want to be managed by the progressives.

628.31 - 650.363 Glenn Beck

I don't want to be managed by the World Economic Forum. I don't want to be managed by a conservative who believes people should be managed. That's when all of the warning lights should start going off. You know, this week we have dealt with constitutional issues over and over and over again. Sometimes they cut your way. Sometimes they...

650.849 - 671.237 Glenn Beck

Constitution comes in and says, no, that would be a violation and you just can't do that. And you're like, crap, because that's an easy solution. But that's not who we are. We're not a country that believes in easy solutions. We look for the right solution.
