Chapter 1: What controversial policy does Mayor Zohran Mamdani propose for private property?

0.031 - 24.655 Glenn Beck

Mamdani, he's got a great idea. We're just going to start taking housing away from owners. Oh, sounds like communism. We talk about that. Also, the pearl clutching over the UFC event at the White House is so aggravating. And Hasan Piker, apparently not just some guy yelling on Twitch, apparently doing the bidding of some...

24.635 - 35.954 Glenn Beck

Some very important countries that are not America or even America first or more America last. All of that on today's podcast. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

Chapter 2: Why is the Left upset about President Trump's UFC cage fight on the White House lawn?

35.974 - 56.228 Glenn Beck

When it comes to your mobile carrier, you know, if you had to choose between great service or giving your money to a company that believes in your values, which would you choose? Tough question. I know, right? Well, here's the good news. You don't have to make that. You can have both. When you switch to Patriot Mobile, that surprise of, wait, you're supporting who, goes away.

0

56.689 - 62.199 Glenn Beck

You've been conditioned to think that if a company shares your values, there must be some sort of catch or it's not as great.

0

Chapter 3: How does Glenn Beck defend the UFC event at the White House?

62.619 - 83.386 Glenn Beck

Maybe the service is spotty or whatever. Those days are over. Patriot Mobile is the world's only Christian conservative mobile phone company. Dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks. So you're getting the service that you expect. But at the same time, this is a company that is openly supporting the things that you care about.

0

83.486 - 86.61 Glenn Beck

Free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment, all of these things.

Chapter 4: Who is Hasan Piker and why is he considered dangerous?

86.97 - 108.773 Glenn Beck

So make the switch today. Go to patriotmobile.com slash Beck. Use the promo code Beck and you're going to get a free month of service. It's promo code Beck at patriotmobile.com slash Beck or 972-PATRIOT. 972-PATRIOT. Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day.

109.114 - 130.147 Glenn Beck

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

158.093 - 183.786 Glenn Beck

Things are changing in America, and that's because demographics are changing. And those people who are 40 do not remember communism. They were never taught the evils of communism. They don't understand it. And anybody younger than that has been brainwashed into this new society where everything is about fairness and lies, quite honestly.

185.639 - 202.919 Glenn Beck

Mamdani, for anybody who thinks that you're just getting a regular Democrat and not a socialist, not a communist, not a radical, Texas, pay attention to what's happening now with Mamdani in New York. Let me play some audio here. Cut four.

203.941 - 209.928 Zohran Mamdani

Through our new citywide campaign, Fix the City, we will focus on the worst landlords in New York City.

210.048 - 210.128

Yes.

213.517 - 219.123 Zohran Mamdani

When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers.

Chapter 5: What historical parallels does Glenn draw with the UFC fight and past events?

403.301 - 425.942 Glenn Beck

Everything becomes about housing. Why? Because if homelessness is only a housing problem, then the government gets to justify controlling the housing. That's the key. If addiction is the problem, then the solution is treatment. It's accountability. It's recovery. It's about rebuilding lives.

0

426.547 - 450.067 Glenn Beck

But the government can't solve that one because if the government does nothing, it then creates chaos and the outcry for somebody in government to do something because addiction is out of control. Mental illness. If that's the problem, the solution becomes institutional care, long-term treatment, actually talking about mental illness. But if the government doesn't treat, then what happens?

0

450.087 - 477.054 Glenn Beck

Chaos goes up. The outcry for somebody to step in and do something because it's dangerous, all these crazy people on the streets. Family collapse, if that's the problem, society has to ask painful moral questions and cultural questions. Why fix that? Chaos strongmen. But if housing is the real problem, then government gets more power. Always watch where the power flows.

0

477.475 - 502.217 Glenn Beck

That will tell you what the real goal is. And here's the part Americans need to understand before it's too late. Communism never comes wearing a hammer and a sickle. It never comes with jack boots. It arrives with compassion. It arrives with friendly faces. It arrives saying, we just want affordable housing. We just want fairness. We just want safety. We just want equity.

0

502.257 - 531.281 Glenn Beck

Until one day, the government decides your property serves the collective better than it serves you. Well, they're only targeting the bad landlords. Really? Uh-huh. That's how every seizure starts. We have constitutional rules. We have the Bill of Rights for a reason. Every expansion of government power begins with a hated group. They never start with a popular people.

531.341 - 554.442 Glenn Beck

They start with the rich or the landlords or the oligarchs, the enemies of the people. Then the enemies of the people, that definition becomes a little more broad. Always. Because once government gains the power to seize property for political or social goals, the argument to seize your property never ends. The category just grows wider and wider and wider.

555.343 - 580.436 Glenn Beck

I mean, and think about the psychology that this creates. If New York can say, we're going after landlords and we're going to seize the property and transfer it to somebody else. Are you going to build new housing? I mean, if the government can take it away, are you going to risk your capital, your time, everything else, hoping that it's not going to happen to you?

581.257 - 605.48 Glenn Beck

Are you going to renovate an old building? Are you going to invest in bad neighborhoods? Who's going to do that? Fewer people. That means fewer houses. Worse housing, more shortages, higher prices. Then the government comes in and says the market's failed. So it demands more control because the market failed. No, the market didn't fail.

605.5 - 610.887 Glenn Beck

The market was responding to you taking away people's property rights. That's the cycle.

Chapter 6: What connections does Hasan Piker have with foreign governments?

611.708 - 639.626 Glenn Beck

And New York is becoming a real-time case study in what happens when ideology replaces reality. Unfortunately, people are so stupid that And this is not Republicans or Democrats. This is just a human flaw. We never see it possible that it's happening to us. Look at Venezuela. We stood there and watched it. You're going to be eating zoo animals soon. You're going to eat zoo animals.

0

639.646 - 663.691 Glenn Beck

That's ridiculous. We've got a great society, and we're fixing all the problems. We're taking it away from the greedy people. You're going to be eating zoo animals. That's outrageous. And what happened? They ate zoo animals. We got to stop arguing about these things and just start looking at the facts. But the frightening part is there are so many young Americans.

0

664.112 - 691.726 Glenn Beck

They've been taught to cheer for this because they've never learned the history of collectivism. They never studied the millions who died under these systems. It has never worked ever. They never saw what happens when government becomes the owner, the referee, the lender, the regulator, and eventually the one that distributes everything that every basic human needs.

0

693.369 - 724.762 Glenn Beck

Once government controls housing, it controls you. Don't believe me? Ask the Soviet Union. Ask anyone who lived behind the Iron Curtain. Ask East Germans. Ask Cuba. Your home stops becoming property. Your home becomes permission. And once citizens depend on government and their permission to live, to work, to eat, to borrow, to travel, to speak freely, freedom becomes conditional.

0

725.463 - 753.688 Glenn Beck

Do you think you're going to speak out if you know the government can take away your housing? Do you think you're not going to wear a mask if they tell you to wear a mask if they control your house? This is the road of communism. Some countries stop before the cliff. Others just keep marching because the promises sound compassionate right up until the collapse begins.

753.922 - 782.977 Glenn Beck

Then it gets ugly and it gets ugly fast. You know what? The time to fight this is in the elections right now. The time for you to say, I don't want to fight this. I'm tired. But I have to fight this or my children will be fighting with guns. My children will not have... You think your children don't have a future now? No. Try going down the Mamdani route.

783.498 - 809.54 Glenn Beck

Try going down the route of these leftists. What do you think your children's lives are going to be? You know. You know because hopefully you know history. You've seen it play out over and over again and you're not burying your head in the sand. That's probably why you're listening to us now. This is our fight, or it is going to be a wicked fight for our children and grandchildren.

809.981 - 841.466 Glenn Beck

And anybody who has ever lost freedom, you do not get it back in your lifetime. You don't. It's about a 70-year cycle back to any semblance of freedom. You'll never see it again, and your kids will never see it ever again. We have to know why this stuff is wrong. We have to know why our Constitution is a godsend, why it's different than every place else.

842.026 - 871.391 Glenn Beck

We have to be able to spot these things so quickly, and we have to teach them to our children. You know, I wasn't planning on talking about this here, but let me just quickly just say we are doing something great. Torch is taking its first steps into education this summer. It's the summer of education. It's America's 250. The summer of education to be able to guarantee another 250.

Chapter 7: How does Glenn Beck view the implications of government control over housing?

1868.307 - 1889.832 Glenn Beck

But now we find out. I mean, we've known who this guy was. Let me see if we can play some of the old clips. Do you have Hasan Piker, One Red Capitalist Blood? Do you have that one? No, you don't have any of this? Okay. All right. Well, this is the guy who has been on saying, you know, capitalist blood needs to run through our streets. America deserved 9-11.

0

1890.313 - 1926.664 Glenn Beck

He's justified the October 7th massacre. He praises China, Chinese communism, Mao Zedong. I mean, you name it. This guy is on the wrong side of history. And, you know, peaceful, you know, movements. Anyway, we find out now that should concern every American. Doesn't matter what side you're on. The Cuban regime wanted him in Cuba, not just as a tourist or, you know. a curious American.

0

1926.744 - 1939.017 Glenn Beck

According to Hassan himself, the Cuban government reached out through the embassy contacts and essentially said, hey, if internet access is the problem, we'll provide it. Let's play that cut, please.

0

1939.758 - 1965.744 Unknown

The Cuban government actually hit my contact from the embassy and told him that if the only thing stopping Hassan from coming to Cuba was the consistent internet access, we can make it happen. Yeah, Cuba is sick. Wait, like the government reached out to you? So, yeah, yeah, of course. Well, not reached out to me. There's a middleman there. Because I had a doctor from Cuba.

0

1966.184 - 1980.619 Unknown

Cuba does this thing called medical missions. And they've been doing it since, I believe, like the 70s. And it's incredibly successful. They have a massive, very robust medical program because they have to.

1980.599 - 1991.284 Unknown

Because they're under an incredible sanctions regime by the United States of America that the rest of the world thinks is abhorrent, except for America and Israel that keep consistently vetoing it over and over again.

1992.496 - 2021.608 Glenn Beck

Anyway, so they want him over there. Now, why? This is a communist dictatorship, a regime that jails dissidents, kills them, censors free speech, a regime that has survived decades through propaganda, intelligence operations, anti-American agitation. You've got hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Cubans living here in the United States that escaped this monstrous regime.

2021.588 - 2044.727 Glenn Beck

And they wanted to facilitate one of America's biggest online political voices. Wow. I mean, the question every American should ask is why, why, why would that foreign governments, you know, don't invest in people accidentally, especially hostile governments. Cuba's not calling me and going, Oh, you, you want a landline? We get your landline, get your voice up. That's not happening. Okay.

2045.956 - 2069.332 Glenn Beck

Let me be really clear on something here that does not make Hassan Piker a Cuban spy. OK, is he more of a useful idiot? That's lazy and stupid. And that's not what this is about. This is about influence networks. This is about how foreign states cultivate narratives inside free society. And America's been asleep at the switch while this has been happening for years. Soviet Union understood this.
