You just don't want to miss this show. Also, Iran, what's next?

It can be a stack of little payments that often look manageable one at a time until you all start adding them up and you're like, wait a minute. I'm working half the month just to stay even. The interest is quiet, but it's constant and it turns into, you know, a treadmill for your income. Lots of effort, very little forward motion.

Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. So there's a new Gallup poll out. And Gallup is not usually very friendly to the right. But here's what it says. New Gallup poll. 50% of respondents say the stock market is set to go up a lot or go up a little within the next half year.
25% said the stock market is set to go down a little or go down a lot. 17% said the market will remain the same. 8% say they were unsure or refused to answer. I love refused it. I'm not answering that question. Um, but anyway, um, I'm not sure the stock market means as much as everybody else, except your 401k.
You know, it's funny when the stock market goes up, nobody says anything like, oh my gosh, have you seen my retirement? My retirement, I can actually retire. I've got, when it goes down, everybody's complaining. Stock market's gone down. What's happening to my retirement? I think we should spend some time noticing that. as the stock market goes up.
Cause that's, I think that's the only way that really affects you is your retirement. Uh, because the stock market is no longer attached to what I believe. I don't believe it's attached to reality at all. Uh, you know, there's nobody that says, you know, they've had some, uh, bad earnings.
And so that of course is going to have their, their stocks crater occasionally that happens, but it used to always happen. Now things just go up, uh, And you're not sure. The poll also found 49% said the economic growth is set to go up a lot or go up a little within the next six months. That's almost 50%. 49% say economy going up a little or a lot.
Um, within the next six months, 36% said the economic growth is set to go down a little or go down a lot. 13% say economic growth is going to remain the same. And 2% said, I am not answering that question. How dare you ask me that question? This is good news. At least politically, it's good news. If this is the way people are feeling and it continues to go this way, that's good.
Of course, it's also good news for the economy if it actually happens. But there is reason to be optimistic. I'm optimistic for the first time in decades. Ever. I'm optimistic about things because I believe for the very first time we have a president that has a plan and is executing on that plan. And it is a big plan. It's not a eat around the edges. It's the whole pie.

Chapter 3: What financial implications do California's tax laws have for Super Bowl winners?
I don't want war. I do not want our boys fighting another war in the Middle East. Period. Full stop. but I also don't want to encourage people to protest and then watch them be rounded up and killed. I don't know what to do, you know, and that's the trap revolt happened. And we said, don't cross this line. Don't kill your people. And they did.
If you say nothing, are we then, do we have any credibility?
Chapter 4: How does California's taxation affect players' earnings after winning the Super Bowl?
Has he lost all the credibility? Um, Is he complicit? Are we complicit in silence? Cause I don't want to do any of it. I don't want to do any of it. So the only ethical path, I think the only one, the narrow one that he always is, is tell the truth. Not with certainty where certainty doesn't exist, but apply pressure that targets the perpetrators, not the civilians.
Keep the information flowing, even when the regime is trying to bury it. Maintain deterrence without rushing towards war. So he's going to give them, I think he's going to do what he did in Venezuela. You have a very narrow path. I suggest you walk this path. And if you don't, it's over for you. Um, the regime though has a huge weapon and it's not army. It kills in the dark.
And then we all sit here and argue about the numbers is 35,000. Did they really kill 35,000? Well, some people say it's 25,000. Some people say it's 55,000.
Chapter 5: What is the impact of California's tax policies on its economy?
We're arguing about numbers. The point is they've killed thousands of people. That's really a big deal. This isn't about protests. It's not about nuclear weapons. This is about death. It's whether the modern world will accept uncertainty as a substitute for accountability. Who did you kill? Who killed them? Stop it.
Because if a government anywhere can massacre its own people and shut off the lights and scatter all the evidence and survive on the argument that nobody can prove it, Every single tyrant on earth learns that lesson. This is what happened, um, in Turkey with the Christians. Hitler went in, uh, Turkey went in and killed a bunch of Armenians and it was the Armenian massacre and killed them all.
And the world did nothing. Forget about Turkey. Hitler said he saw that and saw the world's reaction and said, oh my gosh, You can kill anybody. You can kill any number and the world's not going to respond. We're teaching people, uh, lessons. I pray that Omar Oman we're in Oman now. I don't even know. I wasn't, she, I thought that was a model. Um, but, uh, they're negotiating, uh, in Oman today.
I don't know what they're negotiating for again. again, I don't want war, but I also don't want this. I don't trust them. What do you negotiate for? But I guess we're going for a nuclear weapons or something. I don't know. We have the guy who is the, um, special envoy for nuclear non-proliferation.
He was the guy who went into Libya and said, you got to get rid of all your WMDs, um, and convince Gaddafi to do that. And then Hillary Clinton had him killed. Um, but, uh, He is now the special assistant to the president and the senior director for proliferation strategy at the White House. The one thing I know about Donald Trump is the one thing that truly scares him is nuclear war.
He does not want a missile launched because he firmly believes in, you know, Annie Jacobson will tell you in her book the same exact thing. You launch a missile, you're guaranteed the other side's going to launch missiles and then you're in a world of hurt. You probably don't make it.
In every single test that they run, every scenario at the Pentagon since the 50s to today, it always ends in total nuclear war. And so the one thing I know is he does not want any missiles going up in the air because he knows everybody loses with that. So he's serious about nuclear weapons. But what can we achieve with people we don't trust?
And how close are we to actually, are we going to hit them? He's not going to tell me that, but I think we can draw our own conclusions by how he has behaved in the past and how he moves things and gives people a very narrow window. And I don't think they're going to take this window, but we'll see. Let me tell you about relief factor.
Some people just sit, no thought, no strategy, no, you know, hands on armrests, like they're preparing for re-entry. They lower themselves into a chair as if it's the most ordinary thing in the world, because for them it is. And then other people, whole different process, you know, timing angles, little brace here, careful shift there. Getting back up isn't much better at all.

Chapter 6: How does the jock tax mentality affect athletes and businesses?
And Arizona said, wait a minute. You can't do that because they're not doing their job. They weren't arguing that they had the right. They were arguing that the federal government wasn't doing their job. So somebody had to. But no, you Democrats were like, no, no, no. They can't do anything. It doesn't make any difference. There are no borders. There are no borders. Okay, so what happened?
Well, we took it all the way to the Supreme Court, and Supreme Court told us there are no borders. Only the federal government could say there are borders. Okay, so you won that. Now, wait a minute. I'm trying to understand... The state of Arizona was trying to say that, no, the federal government isn't doing things and we have a right to protect our citizens. And you said, no.
Okay, so now you're arguing that Minnesota can resist federal immigration enforcement on the sovereignty grounds, which don't exist for you, by the way, which contradicts the legal decisions that you defended against Arizona. Here's what I like to say. You can't have it both ways. Life's like a box of chocolate. You just bit into one that's nasty. Then he says, well...
He's coercing control over state politics. What? What? Trump is coercing control over the politics of Minnesotans? Really? That's weird. Because under the basic constitution, you guys don't have any politics. You can say whatever you want, but you can't obstruct. You can not help all you want. All you want. Yeah. But the Constitution says the federal government has that.
So if enforcing federal law were coerced political control, then, hey, Keith, I got an idea. Let's play this one out. Okay. A federal government doesn't have the right to do anything. That means the FBI is unconstitutional. Yeah. But wait, wait, wait. You might even say, yeah, that's right. The FBI is unconstitutional. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
That would mean that desegregation orders would have violated state sovereignty in the 1960s. That means all federal civil rights enforcement in the 60s would have been illegal because our federal government is trying to enforce it, put its power down and wreck our politics. Uh-huh. Nope. Nope, doesn't work, Keith. You're a moron. The masked agents, sending in masked agents. Okay.
Here's what you should know, because you're the Attorney General. You should know this. If they wear masks... or they carry rifles, or they arrive in large numbers, 3,000 or two people, that doesn't have anything to do with the Constitution. Here's the question that does have something to do with the Constitution.

Chapter 7: What lessons can we learn from California's economic policies?
Are they enforcing federal law? Are they acting within statutory authority? Are they violating any constitutional rights? If the answer of one and two is yes and three is no, then you got nothing. You got nothing. You want it your way and you can't handle it. And what kills me is, how you people will jump from one side of the constitution to the other.
And, and sometimes, sometimes that happens, you know, the constitution, you know, what I love about the constitution and I know that it's right is I don't always agree with it. It doesn't always fall on my side. You know what I mean? And you're like, but when you expect it to fall on your side every time, that's a problem. Not with the constitution. That's a problem with you. Okay.
When Arizona tried to secure its border, Democrats said only the federal government can do it. When the federal government enforces immigration law in Minnesota, Democrats say states have a right to resist. Both things cannot be true. I'm happy. I'm happy. You tell me which one is true. You tell me which one's true. You want to make it states have a right to resist?
Okay, we'll make it states have a right to resist. All the time. All the time. If you say, nope, they don't have a right to resist, great, we'll say that all the time. Keith, this isn't about compassion or cruelty, refugees or fear or Donald Trump or Minnesotan values. This is about the Constitution of the United States. And here's what it says. The state can disagree. The state may protest.
The state may refuse cooperation. But a state cannot veto something that falls under the 10th Amendment. in the Constitution to the federal government. That's how this federal government works. And I would think that maybe somebody who was an attorney general, do I got a uniform with that job?
You'd think that the attorney general, especially one that was at least on the sidelines involved with Arizona, would know that. But see, you do know that. You're either a moron or you're just a liar. You decide. You're streaming the best of the Glenn Beck program, and you can find full episodes wherever you download podcasts.
You know, there's something unique that is uniquely American about the Super Bowl. I'm sorry. The reason why I'm having a hard time with this sentence is because this year it wasn't. I mean, it was... It felt like Latin America. It might as well been a World Cup event. But Super Bowl, generally speaking, is a very American experience.
And winning the Super Bowl, I mean, you're on the Wheaties box. Most of those players have come from nothing. Nothing. And they train their entire life. They sacrifice their body for the rest of their lives. You win the Super Bowl. And if you win the super bowl in California, then they send you a bill that says, Oh, you lose because the super bowl was played in California.
That means California gets to tax the income earned in that game. This is going to blow your mind. Now, most people would go, okay, fair enough. I mean, you know, whatever, but that's not what California does because that's not enough money.

Chapter 8: What future challenges might arise from California's current governance?
Businesses leaving. A hollowed out tax base. Why do you think Rush Limbaugh left? Why do you think Sean Hannity left? Why do you think I left? Why do you think all of these people leave? We were just the first out because we're like, I'm not paying that because I believe in small government and this is insane. But when you start to have people who believe in big government go, this is insane.
In the 1970s, the city nearly went bankrupt. In France, we know this. What did they do? They imposed temporarily a wealth tax. Well, I mean, I remember watching from over here going, well, that's just dumb as bungee rock because who's going to stay in France? You move out of France. Well, that's exactly what happened. The wealthy didn't pay more. They left.
And by the time the government repealed the tax, tens of billions of dollars in capital already gone along with all the jobs and the investment that came with it. You know, that's the one thing you forget. Have you ever worked for a guy who is poor? I haven't worked for a single poor man my entire life. Somebody who just didn't have any money.
Didn't pay any taxes because they just didn't have any money. The only people that are hiring are people who have money. You get rid of the people who have money, who's building businesses? This is what happened in Rome. Late Empire. They took productive citizens and just squeezed them. Why? Because they were bloating the state. They needed to pay for the giant state.
Tax base completely collapsed. Economy followed. Gone. There is a lesson in every civilization that has tried this. It learns this lesson the hard way. You cannot tax people into staying. You can only tax them into leaving. And you can lower taxes to get them to move in. California is learning this in real time right now. Six straight years of net population loss. And what are they doing?
Hundreds of major companies are gone. Film production is a thing of the past. Billionaires are moving their resident. Where? To Florida. And instead of asking the question, what's happening here? They just answer the same way. Just tax what's left. Tax what's left. That's the danger of the jock tax mentality.
Because once you accept the idea that location alone gives the government to reach into your entire life, there is no limiting principle anymore. Today, it's athletes. Tomorrow, it's remote workers. Then investors. Then anyone with assets connected at all to the state.
If, God forbid, that mindset ever goes national, when there's no Florida to run to, no Texas to escape to, that's when it's over, over for good. I mean, the jock tax isn't insane because it punishes rich athletes. It's insane because it teaches the government to believe if you pass through our borders, we own a piece of you. And that idea never has ended well. Never. Not once. Ever, ever, ever.
But that's not all California is doing. Try this. Valero. Valero is gas stations, oil, oil refineries. OK, you know, California, what is it they're already paying? Let me look this up real quick. Already the national average for gas, national average for gas all around the United States. is $2.88. If you're living in a state where you're paying more than that, that's because of your state.
