Best of the Program | Guest: Carol Roth | 8/27/26

**Glenn Beck** (0:05)
You know, the National Anthem of Canada is Oh Canada. Now it's kind of like, oh Canada.
We get into Canada on today's podcast. Also, trans ignorance is not bliss. You've heard that phrase, I'm sure, a million times. I'm gonna give you the origins of ignorance of bliss and show you no, no, it's not, no, it's not.
And we talked to Carol Roth about the economy. What can actually be done? This is a great show. You don't want to miss a second of it. And this is the best of Glenn Beck.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:51)
You're listening to The Best of The Glenn Beck Program.

**Glenn Beck** (1:02)
Oh man, whoo! Today's the day you should be an insider, because everything's coming undone. Careers are being destroyed, as we speak. Ricky had one, and we're not gonna talk about it except this, Ricky just had one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in my life.
Jason insulted me, I came back with a comeback, and she said, I don't even get that. What would you say? I didn't even get that, but it's, well, oh shoot.

**Pat Gray** (1:30)
I said I had no idea what the insult meant, but it was hilarious. And that's not exactly what I said, but yes. Today is the day to become a torch insider, because it's all off the rails behind the scenes and a little bit in front of the scenes too.

**Glenn Beck** (1:43)
Yeah. Okay. So go to glennbeck.com/torch, join the fun, join the family now. All right.
Let's see, where do we begin? Should we begin with Canada? By the way, I kind of feel sorry for Canadians, because they're not in on the joke. And then again, I kind of feel sorry for us, because we may not be in on the joke either. I'm not sure if the Trump is going to change Lake Ontario to Lake America. He might, he might. And even if he does, it's hysterical.
It's hysterical that, I mean, I've never seen a joke that can actually change maps, but he has that ability to change maps somehow or another. We have that ability in the president. That might be too much power. I think that might be, I mean, I don't know if really that's the president can change the map. Okay. But I saw him yesterday and he's drawing them. He's taking a map of Lake Ontario and he's like, yeah, a lot of people think I won't do it. I don't know. It's Lake America, Lake America, and he scratches out Ontario and writes America. Look, it's just that easy. It just requires a pen and it's Lake America. And I'm thinking the guy is just trolling, just trolling Canada. It doesn't necessarily make me happy that he does. I'm torn. The worst part of me is laughing my butt off because he's trolling. The better part of me is like, there's a lot of Canadians that just don't need this. There's a few that absolutely deserve it. There's a lot of Canadians that don't. One of them that does would have to be Doug Ford.
He is the premier of Ontario, which is, I don't know, a place up in Canada.
And he says that Trump isn't being very nice. I want you to listen to this.

**Stu Burguiere** (3:53)
When President Trump says we're harder to deal with in China, well, he's treating China, Communist China, better than he's treating his closest trading partner. So again, I have all the confidence in the world that the Prime Minister and Minister Dominic LeBlanc and the ambassador and everyone else at the table are going to fight. They're going to fight tough.

**Glenn Beck** (4:16)
They're going to fight. They're going to fight tough. Oh, yeah, you're so tough. Oh, the fighting Canadians. Look out, everybody.
Okay, is he treating Canada harsher? No, no.
Is he playing with kid gloves with China compared to Canada? Yeah, absolutely. You know why? China can do something about it. You can't. You're on the grand scheme of the world. I mean, I don't mean I love Canada. I love you. I love you. But let's be honest with you. What are you going to throw cheese at us? Come on. Come on. Really? You're not exactly a threatening. I mean, you're right next to, you're a little tougher than France. But that's about it. And so China, they've got nuclear weapons. They're a sworn enemy of us, of course. Yeah, we are going to be a little more vocal against you guys, because quite honestly, sometimes you're a little more vocal with your own family. When a member of your own family starts to turn on the family and you're like, wait a minute, wait a minute, what are you doing? Yeah, I am going to be, because that person I know is an enemy. I know you're an enemy. You've been a sworn enemy of ours for a long time. You've been safe for a while. And then in 2027, we go in. Okay, that's on the record with China. Canada, you're like a member of our family. All of a sudden, you're turning on us and you're like, I like China more.
