CNBC Ranks Texas Among Worst States Due to Abortion and Worker Protections
Glenn Beck
CNBC Has LOST It's Mind With This U.S. States Ranking...
"CNBC, this is a business, a business network, okay? And they are ranking now the top 10 worst states to live in for 2026. Texas, I love this. While Texas continues to lead the nation in attracting workers, those workers are finding a broad array of challenges when they get there."
Glenn Beck critiques CNBC's 2026 ranking of worst states for business, which places Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Utah, Tennessee, and other red states at the bottom. CNBC's criteria emphasize abortion restrictions, lack of union protections, and LGBTQ policies as business weaknesses. Beck argues these quality-of-life measures are irrelevant to actual business climate, pointing out Texas continues leading in attracting both workers and businesses despite CNBC's negative assessment.
