The Glenn Beck Program - Glenn Educates AOC About the Billionaires She Hates | Guests: Nick Shirley & Jack Carr | 5/8/26

About this episode

Glenn Beck discusses the ethics of billionaires and engages with various guests on political and social issues.

Can someone ethically become a billionaire? Glenn reacts to a recent interview with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in which she claimed no one can ethically earn a billion dollars, a claim Glenn wholeheartedly disagrees with. Glenn speaks with Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) about how Americans can get the Senate to prioritize passing the SAVE America Act. Independent journalist Nick Shirley joins to discuss his recent trip to Cuba, tells the story of how he was almost taken hostage, and previews his latest investigation, which exposes the downfall of Cuba. StoryCorps founder and President Dave Isay joins to discuss how Americans can engage in respectful dialogue with people who disagree with them politically. Jack Carr, best-selling author of "The Terminal List" and executive producer of the TV show of the same name, joins to discuss what our disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan taught our enemies. Jack also discusses his newest book series, “The Fourth Option.” Glenn and Jack, along with Jason, also discuss the possibility that life is a simulation regarding hantavirus and FEMA.
