Progressives Killed Spirit Airlines. Now They're Blaming Trump?! | Guests: Harmeet Dhillon & Carol Roth | 5/4/26

Glenn Beck opens the episode with a scathing critique of progressive policies, using the collapse of Spirit Airlines as a central case study to argue that ideological opposition to corporate mergers—such as the blocked JetBlue-Spirit deal—has harmed working-class Americans by reducing competition, increasing fares, and eliminating jobs. He frames this as part of a broader pattern of government overreach and anti-corporate sentiment that undermines economic vitality. With guests Harmeet Dhillon and Carol Roth, Beck expands the discussion to include foreign interference, alleging that China, Russia, and Iran are funding leftist organizations like ActBlue and infiltrating U.S. institutions through Confucius Institutes and foreign donations. Dhillon highlights systemic anti-Christian bias within the DOJ under previous administrations and the current administration’s efforts to restore constitutional protections. Roth analyzes market skepticism toward political rhetoric, noting that investors are increasingly wary of empty promises, especially in light of geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and rising oil prices. The episode also laments the lack of patriotic branding from major corporations like Oreo ahead of America’s 250th anniversary, symbolizing a deeper cultural retreat from national pride. A personal story about overcoming chronic pain with Relief Factor and a heartfelt tribute to Rudy Giuliani’s leadership during 9/11 conclude the episode on a note of resilience and moral clarity, emphasizing that true leadership means showing up in times of crisis and standing with the people.
