Summary: The Glenn Beck Program — October 12, 2026

The episode opens with Glenn Beck presenting a puzzle: Americans are more pessimistic about the country than at any point in Gallup's history, yet the same data shows they still believe in themselves. Only one in three adults say they're extremely proud to be American. Among those under 35, it's 14%. Seventy-eight percent say the American dream is harder to reach than a generation ago. But when Gallup asked whether you personally can still achieve it, 68% said yes. "We haven't lost faith in the promise, at least for ourselves," Beck says. "We've lost sight of the people around us who are still chasing it the same way we are."

The Screen Versus the Street

Beck's central argument is that Americans have confused two different realities. One comes from your street, the other from your screen. "It's easy to hate a category," he says. "It's kind of hard to hate a guy who just returned your ladder." The data backs this up: Pew found that among Americans who don't know any of their neighbors, one in five feels lonely all or most of the time. Among those who know most or all of their neighbors, it's 6% — less than a third as many. The loneliest place in America, Beck notes, is New York City: surrounded by millions of people, but you don't know anybody.

2 (16:00) **Election Poll Analysis: National Trends vs. Name-Brand Candidates** - Glenn argues that national generic ballot polls favoring Democrats are misleading because they collapse once a specific candidate's name is attached.
3 (24:22) **BREAKING: DHS Raids Ilhan Omar's Home with Judicial Warrant** - Glenn reports on a major breaking story: Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant at Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C. home as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.
4 (46:04) **Deep Dive: The Ilhan Omar Marriage Fraud Allegations** - Glenn revisits the detailed timeline and evidence from his own past investigations and the Minneapolis Star Tribune's reporting, alleging a complex scheme of immigration fraud and bigamy.

6 (66:47) **Interview: Pastor Rick Bick on the Satanic Prayer in Ottumwa, Iowa** - Glenn interviews Pastor Rick Bick, who was present at an Ottumwa city council meeting where a man gave an invocation ending with "Hail Satan," and who immediately stood up to "reverse the curse."
7 (79:29) **Ukraine, Diesel Prices, and the Global Economy** - Glenn pivots to a discussion of the war in Ukraine, arguing that Ukraine's strategy of bombing Russian oil refineries is collapsing the global economy and must stop, even if it helps Russia.

Show Notes

Do some recent political polls show good news for America? Glenn shares recent polls he has seen that give him a little hope as the midterms get closer. Glenn explains why these polls show that Americans still have standards and blames social media for making it seem that you have nothing in common with your neighbors. Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home in Washington, D.C., was raided by Homeland Security, and many are speculating that it has to do with accusations that Omar married her brother. But Glenn explains why this type of raid, which was approved by a judge, may point to something bigger. Glenn and Jason also discuss the accusations that Texas Senate candidate James Talarico (D) recently disappeared to spend time in a mental health facility. Glenn flashes back to when he first exposed Ilhan Omar for allegedly marrying her brother, which was largely ignored. New Life Center Church Pastor Rick Bick joins to discuss what happened in the second after an Iowa city council heard a satanic prayer. Glenn breaks his silence on the case against seven men who attended Cornell University and are accused of gang rape in a new civil lawsuit. Glenn speaks about the benefits of moving to a small, tight-knit community where neighbors look out for each other.
