Glenn Beck: Mamdani's new grocery store plan is as dumb as it gets



New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is championing his new government-run grocery stores, claiming they’ll bring lower prices and better access to food in underserved neighborhoods.

But Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck — as well as 50 chambers of commerce — see something very different.

“Fifty chamber of commerces voted this week to sue the city of New York. Fifty chamber of commerces. Not 50 CEOs, 50 chambers,” Glenn begins, noting that they’re suing over the $70 million being used to open five government grocery stores, one per borough.

Mamdani is promising these stores will feature a 30% discount.

“I want you to think now as a person that owns a small store or a bodega. Do the arithmetic that every bodega owner in Queens did the second they heard that. A grocery store is one of the thinnest businesses in America,” Glenn says.


“One to 2% net margin. You come with your cart, and you’re paying $100. The man behind the counter clears $1.50. The store clears a $1.50. We went to the store. I think we spent like $350. They’re making less than five bucks off of me,” he continues.

“Why? Because he has to pay the rent and the landlord. He has to pay the property taxes through that rent,” he adds.

Meanwhile, the city-run grocery store doesn’t pay any rent.

“It doesn't pay property tax. It can’t go out of business because losing money is not failure for a government store. It’s a budget line,” Glenn says.

“One analysis this week projected the city loses about 28 cents on every dollar those stores will ring up. Twenty-eight cents in loss. So the competition is not between two grocers. It’s between a grocer and a grocer’s tax collector,” he adds.

And this isn’t the first time this has been tried in recent history.

“Kansas City ran a small version of this in 2024. The city-supported grocery store lost the state close to, I think, it was like $900,000. The nonprofit that was brought in to run it ended up suing the city over the condition of the store,” Glenn explains.

“So what would work?” he asks.

The answer, he says, is to “stop looking at collectives.”

“Feed the person, not the storefront,” he says, adding, “put money in the hands of the family.”

Glenn Beck exposes the SECRET loophole in the new housing bill



Congress just passed one of the most significant housing reforms in decades, but the fine print tells a more complicated story.

While the new law prevents large corporate landlords from purchasing additional existing single-family homes, it leaves a major exception intact: Companies can still build and own entire rental communities from the ground up.

And Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck is sounding the alarm.

“Two weeks ago, the biggest housing bill in decades became law,” he begins.


“Here’s what it does do,” he explains, “If you’re a company and you own more than 350 single-family homes, you are not allowed to buy up any more of America’s existing houses. Wall Street is now barred from bidding against your daughter on a starter home. That is really good news.”

However, there is an exception.

“If a company builds a neighborhood of houses designed as rentals from the foundation up, it can own every last one of them,” he says. “So American Homes for Rent now expects every dollar of its growth this year to come from new construction.”

And while the bill comes with good news, Glenn points out that the bad is enough to keep Americans down.

“Go to a home auction, and watch two bidders on the same house. A family and a company, the same house, same price. May the best offer win. Who’s going to win? The company is,” he explains.

“The company wins every time. Every single time. And the starter home disappears. And the people who are doing this, they’re not evil. All they’re doing is arithmetic,” he continues.

“Now, that's not a moral failure of the buyer, it’s a design feature of the tax code,” he adds.

‘Wake up, you’re going to be eaten!’ Glenn Beck warns LGBTQ activists about dangerous Islam alliance



On July 25, Abdul Ballout — a 21-year-old German citizen with ties to ISIS — carried out an Islamist terror attack by driving a van into a crowd at Berlin’s Pride celebrations and then attacking people with a machete, killing one woman and injuring 29 others. Police shot him dead the following day when he charged at them with a sharp object.

Some LGBTQ+ activists have used the tragedy to point the finger not at Islamists who have consistently been the perpetrators of recent terror attacks in Europe but at white Christians.

At the public vigil held for victims of the attack, Berlin-based performer and LGBTQ+ activist Yannicka Riebensahm lamented that Ballout didn’t fit the profile of her preferred villain: a “white Christian person.”

A pink-haired LGBTQ+ activist reacted with similar sentiments. In a video, she said, “So the suspect is an Islamic extremist. ... That’s what I read, OK? I’m not going to say anything about the rest of the Muslim population because of actions of this one person, but what I can say is the people who were celebrating about this were all white men — young white men with crosses on their profiles.”

Glenn Beck is stunned by the glaring racism embedded in her anti-racism spiel.

“Why are you willing to lump all white men into one category, but you will only look at the action of one Islamist and say that doesn't speak for all Islamists?” he asks.

But there’s an even deeper and darker reality behind the words of these LGBTQ+ activists who support Islam: They’re cheering the very people who will discard or destroy them the moment the alliance is no longer useful.

The LGBTQ crowd’s support for an ideology hostile to homosexuality may look bizarre, but Glenn sees exactly how the strange coalition was built: through deliberate concealment and double messaging.

He points to congressional candidate Melissa Chaudhry as a clear example of the double game. She admitted many Muslims don’t support LGBTQ rights, hence why the issue was missing from her website. But progressives attacked her for “causing chaos between two oppressed demographics” rather than for hiding it.

“The problem is not the voter,” says Glenn. “The problem is the candidate who carries one set of beliefs into the mosque and a different set into the fundraiser and then calls you the hater if you point at the seam and go, ‘Wait, what are you stitching together here?’”

He also recalls how Barack Obama publicly claimed in 2008 that marriage was between a man and a woman, only for his strategist David Axelrod to later admit Obama had supported same-sex marriage all along and hid it to secure votes from the black church.

This kind of political “choreography” may win elections in the short term, Glenn warns, but it leaves people unprepared for reality.

Earlier this month, an Atlantis Events LGBTQ cruise ship had to be rerouted not once but twice because Turkey and Egypt both refused to allow the boat to dock because the passengers’ conduct was considered incompatible with the culture and beliefs of the two nations.

“These are the moderate countries, OK? In roughly a dozen jurisdictions from Iran to Afghanistan to northern Nigeria, the penalty on the books for homosexuality or anything LGBTQ is death,” says Glenn.

And yet in America and Europe, politicians are deceptively concealing the diametric opposition between these two groups.

“When a party is assembling a coalition by telling one wing something it does not tell the other, that's not clever. That has a history, and the history is very specific,” Glenn warns.

In 1931, German communists were ordered by Moscow to join Nazis in a campaign to dissolve Prussia’s democratic government, even though they had previously called it a fascist plot. Their leaders sold the alliance as temporary and controllable — yet less than two years later, communists were among the first prisoners sent to Dachau.

“The lesson is not about the partner; the lesson is about the leadership,” says Glenn. “Rank-and-file communists didn't choose that alliance. Their leaders chose it for them, sold it as strategy, and they were confident they could manage the people they had climbed into bed with, but they couldn't.”

“The junior partner in a coalition built on concealment never gets to renegotiate later. When the two wings finally collide, the party sides with the larger number of votes or the ones that are more committed to your death every time,” he adds.

In the alliance between today’s LGBTQ+ community and Islam, there’s no question about who’s the “junior partner.”

“I beg you, wake up. You're going to be eaten, and it's not going to be a pleasant moment,” Glenn pleads.

Glenn Beck: What Europe’s latest terror attacks reveal about the progressive left’s deadly blind spot



Earlier this week, a 31-year-old man was arrested in Paris after stabbing three women, one of whom was pregnant, with kitchen knives. Even though video footage of his detainment captured him saying, “It is Allah who commanded me,” Interior Minister Laurent Nunez claimed the motive of the attack was unknown.

“You rolled your eyes, didn’t you? ... I know you did,” says Glenn Beck.

But France isn’t the only European country that has seen recent terror attacks.

Just a few days before the Paris knife attack, 21-year-old Abdul Ballout drove a van into a Berlin Pride event, killing one woman and injuring dozens before attacking with a machete; police shot him dead the next day after he charged at officers with a sharp object.

“He was already convicted of planning at least one terror attack, but then he was let out conditionally. … He was assigned to complete … anti-terrorism or anti-radical classes,” says Glenn’s head writer and researcher, Jason Buttrill.

Glenn argues these attacks aren’t isolated but are actually symptoms of something much deeper and even more sinister: “the red-green alliance” of socialist Marxists and Islamist movements.

“I believe the red-green alliance is a death cult,” he says, warning that if the Democratic Party doesn’t recognize it is “in bed with” a coalition that “[wants] total destruction of everything” America stands on, the consequences the nation will suffer are dire.

Glenn then tells the story of Michel Foucault, the influential gay French philosopher who enthusiastically supported the 1979 Iranian Revolution, only for the new regime to almost immediately start executing homosexuals.

Foucault, he argues, was wrong to refuse to take back or even caveat his original praise. In his 1979 essay on the Iranian Revolution, he never named the executions, never admitted he had been wrong about the regime he praised, and never took his support back.

“He should have written, ‘I went to Tehran, and I mistook intensity for justice. I saw men willing to die, and I assumed that anyone willing to die for a thing must be right about that thing. … The government I praised is now hanging men for what I am. I was wrong. This is not going to end well,”’ says Glenn.

But that admission, he explains, never came for the same reason today’s progressive LGBTQ activists refuse to acknowledge they’re supporting groups who would execute people like them the moment they gained power: “An honest mind treats being wrong as information. A weak one treats it as injury.”

“So how is [Foucault] actually wrong? Three ways, and they're still on the market today,” says Glenn.

Number one: He mistook passion for morality.

“He judged a movement by how it felt to the people inside instead of by what it would do to the people underneath it,” says Glenn. “Passion is not a moral argument. Everyone who has ever built a gallows was passionate.”

Number two: He rejected Western liberal institutions — courts, rights, rule of law — as mere “masks that power wore.” But when a revolutionary movement actually showed up to tear those institutions down, Foucault had already discarded the only “ruler” he might have used to judge what replaced them.

“If everything is a mask, then you can’t tell the difference between a constitution and a firing squad,” says Glenn.

Number three: He ignored warnings. When an Iranian woman wrote to him at the time of the Revolution and told him he was romanticizing men who would soon put men like him in prison, he doubled down on his support.

“He was warned. This is not about philosophy; this is about character. It's about intentional, self-imposed ignorance or blindness,” says Glenn, highlighting Foucault’s stubborn refusal to correct the record.

The same three mistakes, he warns, are being made by today’s socialist Marxists who have formed an alliance with Islamists — but we need to be very calculated in how we challenge them, or we risk further entrenching their support.

Glenn Beck addresses Toronto billboard that triggered a police investigation over ‘hate speech’



Last week in Canada, Toronto police stopped a Rebel News digital billboard truck after a passerby called in a possible hate crime — simply because of what the billboard said.

The billboard boasted a paid advertisement from the Canadian Women's Sex-Based Rights, which advocates for women’s safety in sports.

“Not for speeding, not for a bad tail light, but officers were responding to a complaint about the message on the side of the truck being a hate crime,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck says, shocked.

The message on the truck read: “Women and girls deserve safety on the field, privacy and dignity in the locker room, and fairness on the podium.”


The billboard also included a claim that men are competing in women’s sports, alongside a website address and a call to sign a petition.

“That’s it. That’s the crime in Canada,” Glenn says.

“Now, police investigated. They didn’t take any enforcement action. They let the truck drive away. Rebel News says this is the second time now in Toronto police have gone over a truck with paid advertisement, and the outcome doesn’t change what happened because the investigation is the sentence,” he continues.

“Remember, governments can make your life a living hell. Somebody made a phone call, cruisers rolled, officers stood on the pavement deciding whether the sentence about locker rooms was a criminal act,” he adds.

And what this means, Glenn explains, is that "if you’re thinking about putting an advertisement up on the side of a truck, you’re now risking the next police stop."

"That cost gets paid no matter what the charge is," he says.

“You may disagree with the ad, that’s fine. You might agree with it, that’s fine. Think it’s wrong about the science, wrong about the numbers, wrong about the whole question. Fine. That’s what you’re supposed to do with an argument you think is bad," he continues, "You beat it."

“Nobody was threatened. Nobody was told to go and do violence to anybody. A group of women bought advertising space to make a claim about the rules of sports in this country."

“That’s an argument, and now it’s, you know, over before it even begins,” he adds.

'Surprise! I had a baby!' Liz Wheeler welcomes third daughter



When BlazeTV’s Liz Wheeler isn’t traveling for speaking engagements, writing books, or hosting “The Liz Wheeler Show,” she can usually be found hanging out with her family — which just grew!

On July 27, the glowing mom posted on X that she and her husband were just hours away from welcoming their third child into the world.

“By the time you see this video, I will have given birth to my third child,” she excitedly revealed, displaying her baby bump.

Liz then shared that she is having a third daughter.

“I grew up with sisters — lots of sisters — and I know that it is such a wonderful gift for my girls ... to have sisters,” she beamed.

Her husband fully shares her excitement.

“My husband is such a wonderful girl dad. ... He teaches them how to garden, how to build fish tanks, how to wrestle, how to read, and he also always has time to play house with them because they’re little girls, and they’re obsessed with baby dolls. And he loves the cards they make him that are covered with pink heart stickers, and he loves to twirl them in their pretty dresses,” Liz gushed.

“Pray for us if you will as we begin life as a family of five.”

To her fans and followers, Liz promised that she has not left them high and dry for the next 12 weeks while she’s on maternity leave.

“I filmed stuff ahead of time for you ... and man, we have some good ones. I’ve actually been dying to tell you about some of them,” she laughed.

“The second thing is we are launching a clips channel ... I know a lot of you request not just the full-length episodes but the shorter videos, but we can’t do that on our regular channel without getting penalized in the algorithm,” she continued, noting that the new clips channel is already up and running and ready for subscribers.

While Liz steps away to bond with her newest daughter, her pre-filmed episodes and new clips channel will keep fans covered until she returns.

Here’s to Liz, her husband, and their three precious girls!

Fauci diary bombshells: Glenn Beck dives into wildest lines from his just-released entries



In preparation for Anthony Fauci’s subpoenaed Senate testimony on COVID origins and response set to begin this coming Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) released portions of the embattled doctor’s personal diaries and related emails/documents, highlighting his private doubts about a natural origin, discussions of deleting records, and personal reflections on fame.

On today’s episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn dove into the diaries of the “egomaniac monster” and shared what he believes will happen in the upcoming hearing.

Glenn’s head writer and researcher Jason Buttrill begins by reading some of the most jaw-dropping quotes from Fauci’s diary, starting with his admission that the virus, contrary to what the public was told, was not of natural origin.

“On January 26, 2020, Fauci writes in his diary, ‘Now, we know the market was not the source ... it was the amplifier,”’ Jason reads, recalling how “anyone that disagreed with natural origin was [called] an idiot and ... shamed.”

“A week later, he convenes a call with 12 scientists. You want to know how many of them thought that it was natural origin spillover from animals? Out of those 12, only two,” he adds, noting how despite the heavy skepticism, “the consensus ... from all the academic papers was that no, this is natural origin.”

Glenn and Jason both speculate that Fauci’s public insistence on a natural origin was self-protective because U.S. funds (under his watch) had gone to the very type of research that could have caused a lab leak in Wuhan.

“We had a law that said you can't do [gain of function research]. ... Come or hell or high water, he would find a way to do it, and then he covered it all up,” says Glenn, “so the guy who is literally, I believe, responsible for millions of dead ... knew it, and he just felt it was too important to let the law stop them, so he found a way around it.”

But perhaps the most shocking entries from Fauci’s diary highlight his inflated ego despite the growing global death toll.

According to the released files, at one point Fauci wrote, “One person said that Tyra Banks was sexy, but that I was even more sexy than she was.”

“Another 1,200 dead this morning ... but on the bright side, I'm the sexiest man alive,” Glenn mocks. “I mean, it’s just horrible.”

Jason follows with another cringeworthy entry: “Press still hot and heavy about me. Multiple stories per day directly or indirectly involving me.”

Glenn highlights another entry where Fauci wrote about being invited to participate in the reality show “Dancing with the Stars.”

“Can you maybe pay attention to the millions that are dying?” he scoffs.

Glenn and Jason then recall the InStyle magazine cover from the magazine’s September 2020 issue, featuring Fauci sitting by a pool, wearing sunglasses and a smug look on his face.

“It's absolutely grotesque,” says Glenn.

“And now reading these diaries and knowing how infatuated he was with all the attention and fame,” Jason sighs.

Glenn notes that since Biden’s broad pardon already shields Fauci from any prosecution for past actions or false statements, he cannot be charged for what he did or said years ago. However, if he is asked the same questions again this week and simply repeats his old answers — now contradicted by new evidence — that would constitute a brand-new false statement under oath, which the pardon does not cover.

Glenn speculates that Fauci’s enormous ego will not allow him to admit he previously lied (even though such an admission would be legally safe under the pardon), leaving him only one practical option: “plead the Fifth.”

“If he pleads the fifth, we know he was lying,” he says.

Shocking study: Marijuana use in men DOUBLES the risk of miscarriage



Marijuana has long been portrayed through film and television as a relatively harmless substance associated with relaxation, laughter, and the “munchies.”

But BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says the scientific evidence tells a much darker story, and Alex Berenson’s book “Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence” is what ultimately changed her mind.

“Alex Berenson changed my mind on marijuana almost single-handedly,” Wheeler says, before pointing to a study on the drug.

“A recent study shows that if a man uses marijuana, then — even once a week, if he smokes marijuana — then his wife is twice as likely to miscarry. So, even if the woman, the mother, never uses pot and the man smokes once a week, his wife is twice as likely to miscarry,” Wheeler says.


As devastating as that is, it’s not all marijuana is linked to. The drug is also known to cause psychosis, schizophrenia, and violence.

But most people have no idea.

“The reason that most people think of pot and they think chill and munchies is because of that propaganda that I mentioned that was paid for by this humongous marijuana lobby who obviously stood to profit enormous amounts of money if they were able to farm marijuana,” she explains.

“They first, you know, tried to normalize it by making it a medicinal thing, medical marijuana, and then once it was kind of normalized as medicinal, which obviously had a positive connotation in people’s minds, their goal was actually just recreational legalization,” she says.

And in Colorado, where marijuana was legalized recreationally, Wheeler explains that crimes, car crashes, and ER visits are up.

“I would argue that it’s a net negative to society. It’s certainly a net negative to this channel. It causes me to lose subscribers any time I mention this,” she adds.

And anecdotally, Berenson’s wife worked in medical care and would “come home and tell him about these psychotic patients that she had and how there was always a connection to marijuana.”

“He scoffed at her. He said that is ridiculous. Like, marijuana is not tied to psychosis. It’s not tied to mental health. It’s not tied to violence. It’s like, you just smoke it, and then you get hungry. And so he tried to prove her wrong,” Wheeler explains.

But when he started researching it, he was shocked by what he found.

“And when he started researching it, that’s when he began to put the book together because he found that the actual research contradicts the narratives that we’re all pretty familiar with around marijuana,” she says.

“What Berenson actually found in the scientific literature was that it does ... lead to psychosis and schizophrenia and ultimately violence, particularly violence committed by men against women,” she continues.

“I don’t think my position is extreme, that if it’s a dangerous drug that leads to these things, if it’s a net negative to society, then yes, we should ban it,” she adds.

​Glenn Beck: Mamdani's ignorant comment on fire departments proves just how CLUELESS he truly is



In an interview with Jon Stewart, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) explained that concepts like a public library and fire department are examples of democratic socialism at work — but Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck couldn’t disagree more.

“Jon Stewart, you’re pathetic. You’re pathetic. You allow him to explain socialism to America, and then he actually comes out and says, ‘Yeah, well, you know, building a building and lending out books for free. If we suggested that today, we’d be slandered,’” Glenn says.

“That’s the library. Same thing with public schools and roads and everything else,” he adds, which leads him to ask — and answer — whether or not the fire department is actually “a sign of socialism” as Mamdani alleged.

“The richest man in Rome was Marcus Crassus. Rome was wood, packed tight, burning constantly, and there was no fire department. So Crassus built one because he was the richest guy there. Five hundred men,” Glenn explains, noting that Crassus was a “bad guy” who used the free market to exploit those whose homes were burning down.


His fire department would withhold help until those whose homes were burning agreed to sell it to them.

“That’s the free market being applied to a burning building in the most corrupt way. It’s also why nobody has tried it again,” he says.

“So let me take you to the year 6. Jesus was 6 years old now, and the fire tore through the city again in Rome. Caesar Augustus was there. And he went to the watchmen of the city, 7,000 men in seven what were called cohorts,” Glenn explains.

“Each cohort was responsible for two districts. The first permanent public fire brigade in the history of the world was formed. He was the emperor. He ruled by slaves. He ruled by force,” he continues.

“He was not a good guy. He wasn’t a socialist. He beat Karl Marx to the fire department by 18 centuries,” he adds.

Then in 1736, Benjamin Franklin got “a couple dozen men to sign articles of agreement.”

“Every man brings six leather buckets and two linen bags. They meet monthly, and when a member misses a meeting, he pays a fine. And the fines bought fire engines. That was the Union Fire Company,” Glenn explains.

“It’s the first volunteer fire company in America. We still have volunteer fire departments. Why? Because of Benjamin Franklin, not Karl Marx. The government had nothing to do with it,” he continues.

“The American answer to all of these things has always been share the problem in association, not theft,” he adds.

Glenn Beck: The housing crisis will spiral out of control unless we do this NOW



Why does buying a home feel more out of reach than ever? According to Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck, the answer isn’t corporate greed, mysterious market manipulation, or some hidden conspiracy theory. It’s basic economics and government policy.

Citing new research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and data from the National Association of Home Builders, Beck argues that America’s housing affordability crisis stems from a collision of rising demand and artificially constrained supply.

“Thirty percent of the increase in U.S. home prices from '21 to '24 along with 20% of the rise in rent prices comes from just bringing in seven, 10, 15 million people and just adding them in,” Glenn explains.

“Today, our home, the typical American house, runs closer to five times what a family earns in a year,” he adds.


Back in March, economists at the Federal Reserve Bank in Dallas ran the numbers on what seven million illegal border crossings under the Biden administration did to the local housing market.

In Dallas, it put “roughly 30% of the total run-up in home prices and about 20% of the run-up in rents.”

“Every 1% increase in unauthorized workers relative to the local workforce pushed the home price up 2.2%. And rents up 1.4%. So you want to know why we’re having a hard time buying houses?” he asks, answering, “It’s because our local governments along with the federal and state government are completely out of control with regulation, and our federal government just opened up the borders.”

“Now, why isn’t that being explained to the American people?” he asks.

“It’s not the builders. It’s not the people selling the houses. It’s the government that is the problem,” he says.

And while the Biden administration spent four years adding millions of people to the demand side, local and federal governments made it "slower and more expensive to add anything to the supply side."

“There’s no mystery here. There’s no shadowy cartel. There’s no Jew behind the corner. It’s a bathtub with the tap wide open and a towel that is stuffed in the drain,” Glenn explains.

“Which means the fix should be just as simple. And there are three fixes,” he says.

“One, don’t add people to the country faster than you can add roofs to it. ... Two, make it legal to build a cheap house. ... Three, stop borrowing money you didn’t have because the deficit sets the interest rate and the interest rate sets the mortgage,” he continues.

“I don’t know why we don’t do this.”
