00:02:17.360 for just a like a i mean a little token of uh of effort and we'll we'll tell you about that and
00:02:26.720 much more in 60 seconds let me tell you about relief factor i'm i'm guessing that nobody asked
00:02:34.640 you for permission to saddle you with a bunch of pain yet here you are dealing with it day in day out
00:02:40.160 and if you're like me living with pain in your life is like walking uphill in 10 feet of snow
00:02:45.520 snow to school both ways in the dark right right am i right yeah that's the way i used to do it when
00:02:53.120 i was going to school anyway um the the lowest point comes at least in my life when the pain i was
00:03:01.120 living in was just consuming everything my every thought i was you know i can't do that i can't do
00:03:06.560 that i just have to get back home uh it's horrible i tried relief factor because my wife made me try
00:03:14.880 she's like i'm not going to listen you whine if you don't try everything i'm like it's natural it's
00:03:19.040 not going to work better living through pharmaceuticals this actually changed my life
00:03:24.560 three-week quick start 1995 it's a trial pack that's what my wife said just try it for three weeks what
00:03:30.960 do you have to lose hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief factor 70 of them go
00:03:36.240 on to order more i'm one of them relieffactor.com 800 the number four relief 1995 three-week quick
00:03:42.880 start relieffactor.com 800 the number four relief relieffactor.com feel the difference
00:03:49.840 this seems almost too good to be true but it is true you can receive russian citizenship and all you
00:04:01.920 have to do is join the russian army and uh go to war against ukraine that's all you have to do wow
00:04:07.040 that's it believe it's that easy i mean what an incredible incentive and how often have you longed
00:04:14.240 to be a russian citizen my whole life a whole life obviously just like everybody else yeah man if
00:04:19.680 i could just live in russia where there's food shortages and extremely bad weather and uh you
00:04:28.640 know still the strains of communism and and oppression sure uh you might get poisoned might get poisoned
00:04:34.880 or by your government if you disagree with them you could also fall out a window uh that happens a lot
00:04:40.320 a lot of people oppose the administration the putin administration a lot of those people are very
00:04:46.800 very clumsy and every time they get near a window that's high up in a building they fall out of it
00:04:52.320 so much gravity there too though i mean there's just a lot of people don't understand it's much
00:04:57.280 stronger there than it is here right so you get near it just kind of sucks you out that window and
00:05:02.080 happens all the time are there a lot of people taking them up on this i don't know if i'm not sure
00:05:06.960 it doesn't it the article doesn't state how many but there's a lot of foreigners apparently waiting in
00:05:11.520 line for russian citizenship and they're being uh given a chance to cut to the front of the line
00:05:16.320 if they volunteer to join the war effort in ukraine and huh i mean obviously a small small minute
00:05:24.320 price to pay for russian citizenship right clearly your life um because surely you're going to the
00:05:30.560 very front lines surely you are like they're not even going to say like hey here's a gun to help you
00:05:35.840 fight they're just going to strap you to a tank like i what are they going to do with these people
00:05:41.200 and it's amazing because russia you know they're having people uh leave the country and escape to
00:05:47.840 other countries to avoid the service right and uh their own citizens don't want to be citizens anymore
00:05:54.320 right because reportedly they've lost over a hundred thousand troops so far like according to this might be
00:06:03.040 a little inflated because it's ukraine's general staff but they reported 116 000 russian troops i
00:06:09.200 think the u.s military puts it about a hundred thousand yeah certainly either way it's a lot a lot
00:06:14.720 it's a lot i mean when you think about the 10 years of war that russia the soviet union endured in
00:06:21.120 afghanistan uh they lost 15 000 troops in 10 years now it hasn't even been a year yet and they lost over
00:06:29.760 100 000 it's incredible uh so things are not going well there but good luck i mean it's you know if
00:06:36.400 you want to be a russian citizen and who doesn't this is obviously your ticket i mean very very generous
00:06:42.960 of putin to offer that little carrot i love that you know you can there's a there's a bunch of programs
00:06:48.320 around the country where you can purchase citizenship oh not around around the world around the world
00:06:54.080 there's a bunch of countries you can purchase citizenship from including like you know nice
00:06:58.640 islands like caribbean islands i'm guessing that's pricey it can be pricey i mean it's not it's not
00:07:04.160 cheap but there i can't remember what the cheapest one was but it was like it was like an island off the
00:07:08.880 coast of africa that i don't think i've ever heard of oh really and it was like hey come here and be a
00:07:14.240 citizen here for like 18 but most of them run into the six figures you have to do you have to go to
00:07:21.600 war for them no you know wow that's great they're not at war no one's invading because no one wants to
00:07:27.040 go okay everyone's like actually you guys can keep that land huh but like it's true you can go there are
00:07:33.840 these i think they call it citizenship by investment and you can go there's a bunch of
00:07:39.360 international law firms that help walk you through this not that i've looked into it at all
00:07:44.800 that i'm you know at some point sure i may need to flee um but it you can go like nice islands
00:07:51.360 will cost you you know mid six figures you want to go into something you know wow yeah half a million
00:07:58.080 dollars yeah give or take yeah okay sometimes now they then they break this up sometimes you can do that
00:08:04.400 by real estate investment so you can take if you want to buy a house for five hundred thousand
00:08:09.040 dollars in you know saint kits you can do that and it will i don't know if saint kits exactly but
00:08:15.520 it's one of the you know some of these islands are like that and you go there and you you invest uh
00:08:19.280 some money and as long as you hold it for a certain amount of years you can kind of get citizenship
00:08:24.320 by investment and then the more desperate the country for is for money the more desperate the
00:08:30.800 country is for people to come there's like a real market for this like so like if you want to get
00:08:36.240 into a european nation there's one or two european nations that do this and it's millions of dollars
00:08:41.040 if you're going to get you a european citizenship because of course you get into europe you have
00:08:44.880 the eu sort of you know you can move around a lot you have some of those benefits blah blah blah it's
00:08:50.320 supposed to be a stable place you're going to pay more for that you go to comoros you know you're
00:08:54.880 going to pay like you know 20 000 you know you're just going to get in it's going to be like a
00:08:59.440 have you ever bought i've had my eye on comoros for a long time exactly if you could buy a kia you
00:09:05.440 can buy citizenship in some of these countries you know and then it's great so i i don't know why
00:09:10.720 like i thought about that it's like it would be cool to have one of the things that's a benefit of
00:09:15.440 this is you can get access to countries that do not like the united states so like if you're i don't
00:09:21.920 know like looking to travel to iran for some reason you might need citizenship in a second country
00:09:27.120 that will allow you to travel to a different one you know one of these countries we might be at war
00:09:31.840 with or so uh so that's why a lot of people do it like if you're you know maybe your family is from
00:09:37.600 that country you can't get back there often you want to go back there you can bounce around through
00:09:42.800 these other citizenships but you can that's the other thing is like the more countries you can go
00:09:47.600 to the more it costs not the case with russia you just go in there just all you need to do is
00:09:53.840 strap yourself at a for you know to a tank for a few weeks yeah months you know months maybe maybe
00:09:59.520 years maybe you know and you're in dodge a few bullets yeah uh and some rocket fire it's easy
00:10:07.600 yeah right they all they all come in slow motion and who can't dodge a bullet when it's coming to
00:10:12.000 you in slow motion i think if it hits you it's just gonna fall to the ground anyway people never
00:10:16.080 talk about that so they don't much anyway this segment's been brought to you by traveling to russia
00:10:21.680 russia you should do it today call 1-800 i would like to die in the fields in the cold frozen tundra
00:10:29.360 of of the former soviet union yeah dot com wow what a dream come true huh uh the wef has gathered in
00:10:38.660 davos and uh we've got some sitting u.s uh senators there actually the president didn't go to this
00:10:44.380 um and i'm not sure why because a lot of times uh they do but joe manchin because he's so
00:10:52.220 conservative so moderate so in the middle of things you know he he is in davos right now and uh he's
00:11:02.620 lamenting things like the freedom of the press here's what uh he had to say uh the problem that we have is
00:11:09.440 the open press system and basically all the platforms so if you're able to have five platforms
00:11:14.580 social platforms that you can basically um personify the extremes somebody who is extremely
00:11:22.160 right or extremely left and it seems like that is the majority speaking they're not the majority
00:11:26.800 but they're basically driving everybody to make a decision what side are you on are you on this side
00:11:32.180 or this side and in america there's only one side the american side it's not the republican side
00:11:36.880 or democrat we should be coming together to solve the problems from a different angle yeah yeah we
00:11:43.280 should um the world economic forum does not think that there's only an american side and a non-american
00:11:49.420 side the world the economic forum does not see it that way they they sure don't and it's interesting
00:11:55.620 that he sees you know freedom of the press as a problem uh that in itself is a big problem and one of
00:12:05.640 the big problems we have right now because they want us to believe that we're not supposed to say
00:12:10.340 anything they don't like and anytime anybody says anything they don't like they try to shut it down
00:12:16.620 they try to censor it they they try to lock you out uh it's terrible what's going on and this guy's
00:12:22.460 supposedly a moderate this guy supposedly oh yeah he's gonna be the savior because uh he could play
00:12:28.380 both sides of the aisle at any time and i know you've been a big fan of joe mansion over the years
00:12:33.860 joe mansion will not save you that is the thing you need to always remember that should be a dot com
00:12:39.800 joe mansion will not save you dot com oh but well luckily they only have 51 votes and joe mansion
00:12:47.220 can block any terrible programs no he will never he will never be that person he will say he's that
00:12:53.880 person because he wants people in west virginia to vote for him so he will say that he's the person
00:12:59.720 who's going to stop the craziness he you see he even said it there he's worried about the extreme
00:13:03.860 left too pat oh of course he's so worried about it yeah he wants to make sure that that does not
00:13:08.820 that does not happen here's the thing he does not care about the extreme left he cares about his own
00:13:14.220 seat he cares about his own election so at times he will say things like i care about the extreme left
00:13:20.840 and he has interests that don't always align with that you know big friends big donors who you know
00:13:28.700 are in industries like coal where he will occasionally be sane because of that not because he actually
00:13:35.160 believes it because he wants money and power that is who this guy is this guy who this guy has always
00:13:40.800 been and he will only go away when the people of west virginia finally say we don't believe you
00:13:45.980 anymore because every time you let us down and i don't even know that that happens in an election
00:13:52.280 because i think he's too terrified to lose eventually polling needs to show him no they need to say don't
00:13:59.000 run again and eventually this will hopefully happen i mean this happened with this this past couple years
00:14:04.000 he was the guy standing up and saying i can i'm gonna stop this i'm gonna be the guy who's gonna make
00:14:10.260 sure that we don't spend all this money until the day he decided he wanted to spend all the
00:14:15.840 money and people be like well he he decided he wanted to spend less yes this is his this is what
00:14:23.320 he does yeah wow you know bernie sanders wanted to spend four trillion dollars and he spent he wanted
00:14:29.340 to you know joe manchin came in i'm only gonna spend 1.6 oh wow thank you oh what a still 1.6 trillion
00:14:38.600 we don't have thank you that's exactly right we don't have the money in the first place
00:14:43.900 and manchin came in and once again let all these ridiculous programs ridiculous spending go into
00:14:52.280 effect anyway all the stuff that's going to last long be long after joe manchin is a senator and he's
00:14:58.780 long forgotten because that is what will happen with him once he's out of office he will be forgotten
00:15:04.300 he's a very little to no impact in our society and he you know once again he continues to give this
00:15:12.100 pitch he said he wrote op-eds in multiple newspapers saying he he wouldn't do the spending he would not
00:15:18.080 go along with the spending he went along with later and he did and he did because he always does now
00:15:21.740 so he is he brought them down a little bit but that's that's all you can expect out of him i mean
00:15:27.200 he'll he'll feign that he's interested in saving money or saving taxpayer dollars but he won't really
00:15:33.840 do it it's all a dance right does anyone really think that uh alexandria ocasio-cortez and joe
00:15:39.900 mansion are really mad at each other does anybody buy this theater like it's just oh i don't know
00:15:46.720 that aoc she's a little she sounds like a socialist oh i can't believe this joe they're just playing
00:15:53.060 both sides of this for their own audiences yep and we're all supposed to believe it it's like the
00:15:58.240 bottom line is they all come together and vote for the same bills over and over again and they have
00:16:01.820 nobody who's holding out unlike the republicans who at least have some people who will hold out for
00:16:07.920 certain things we saw that with the mccarthy situation you have people who will say i'm not
00:16:12.860 going to vote for him unless you get x y and z they get x y and z and they'll move on it but you
00:16:17.860 know what does mansion do he always comes to the table he always is there every time need him yep if
00:16:22.680 it's if the democrats have 50 you know they need you know 60 votes and they've got 65 you might get a
00:16:28.360 vote for joe mansion on on this where you say oh wow he's he's stepping up against the democrats here
00:16:33.620 if they need 50 you know 50 votes and they've got 53 joe mansion's there for you he'll he'll hold
00:16:39.880 that he won't be there he won't be there 50 plus one yeah if they won't be there if they need him
00:16:45.340 he will be there yeah if he can justify to the people of west virginia well i stood up i was the
00:16:52.420 only democrat who said no to that bill that passed with some room it's always what he does
00:16:59.580 and the fact that anybody falls for this at this point is embarrassing but i don't think the people
00:17:05.360 of west virginia would fall for it again i don't think he could win again there 888-727-BECK it's
00:17:10.900 pat and stew for glenn on the glenn beck program sharon wrote in about her dog's experience with

00:18:17.240 second station id one thing mansion said there which i think has some truth to it is we do get
00:18:32.740 distracted i think by the extremes at times we get extracted distracted by the extreme left and their
00:18:38.800 woke agenda which is telling us we've got to use these new woke terms these terms are you know this
00:18:46.320 is what the the the future shows we've got to be able to save the planet exactly as if we use woke
00:18:52.060 terms right that's the only way we can be saved right now is to that does seem like the the pitch
00:18:56.940 at times it does the new york times ran a poll and i don't know why they did this frankly maybe they
00:19:01.600 thought they were going to get different results but said hey you know all these terms we're using all
00:19:05.440 the time and trying to make you use here at the new york times do you guys like them like latinx you guys a
00:19:12.040 fan of that big fan of that i assume right latinx or as the president calls it latinx
00:19:17.700 and nobody really knows how to say it is it latinx or is it latinx no and or latinx or latinx like
00:19:26.060 kleenex we don't know latinx these are latin kleenex latin tissues and call them latinx
00:19:31.700 so they asked that and they said okay here let me give you a couple terms hispanic would you use
00:19:37.520 hispanic or not 87 said that yes they would use hispanic 13 said no latinx latinx latinx
00:19:46.900 only 22 said they would use it and 78 said they would not i'm surprised it's as high as 22
00:19:56.600 percent right blows me away you use it and that doesn't you could use both like you might some
00:20:00.980 people said yeah i'd use both of those terms i only hear white old liberals use yeah that's it
00:20:07.440 and that's the 22 probably right it's certainly not latinx people how about pregnant women would
00:20:14.300 you use the term pregnant women pat i would you would right that's what that's pregnant women
00:20:18.480 86 said they would use uh that term birthing parent oh my god the other option only 34 said they would
00:20:27.600 use that term i would never use that i would you'll have to shoot me in the head before you say
00:20:33.380 yeah gun to your head will you say birthing present no no pull the trigger pull the trigger
00:20:37.600 i'd rather not live in a world where we call mothers birthing parents nope pat have you ever
00:20:44.360 heard the term breastfeeding a few times you have would you ever use a term like i've used it you
00:20:49.280 realize it's hateful oh wow yeah now you are in the majority unfortunately in this country 85 said
00:20:56.460 that yes so hateful we would use the term breastfeeding sure okay 10 said they would use the
00:21:02.240 term chest feeding 85 to 10 this goes on and on and on and on asian uh is 81 aapi that's that's the
00:21:13.240 is that asian american pacific islander okay i think it is that's a 27 okay uh this is one i had never
00:21:21.800 heard before what is the oh this one this is interesting third world i've used that use that
00:21:28.640 right that's how you describe a developing maybe you'd use developing nation as well um both of
00:21:33.700 those pulled pretty well 73 said they'd use third world nation to describe a country like that
00:21:38.600 developing was 60 okay those are the two that i would say both yeah apply right those are fine yeah
00:21:43.640 um global south you ever hear this term no global south that's what we're supposed to be using that's
00:21:50.960 what we're supposed to use instead global south global south how does that like what does
00:21:55.560 like what does australia say like we're a pretty wealthy nation like why are we no global south is
00:22:01.840 the other option weird only 15 would use the term global and are there no northern third world nations
00:22:09.240 so weird like developing to me third world is kind of like doesn't mean all that much we've kind of
00:22:15.840 developing is a good term to describe like okay you're you're economically developing nation you don't
00:22:21.200 have all the accoutrement of maybe the united states or first world quote country developing
00:22:26.620 works fine i think it's more descriptive maybe even than third world but like global south like
00:22:30.860 that makes it it's not a regional situation we're talking about no we're not like hey what's
00:22:35.160 when is it you know when is it warm there when is it cold there that's not what we're asking

00:24:05.400 hey fortunately we got people out there saving this planet where would we be without the elites
00:24:21.380 in our lives you know we're just little people we can't understand things no you know we don't know
00:24:29.300 that much and if even what we do know we don't know what to do with we if we have information like
00:24:36.420 the planet is being destroyed of course by co2 uh and so all of our emissions are are killing us
00:24:44.060 slowly um killing us not so softly with their crud killing us softly with their crud and telling our
00:24:53.740 whole lives um with their crud still i guess uh but fortunately again there are the elites like
00:25:02.380 john carrey who um is reminding people he's over in davos as as with the other elites and uh he's
00:25:11.500 talking about he's making sure that we understand how special people like him are and what they're
00:25:18.240 doing to to uh fix the problems that we face and save the planet here he is and when you stop and
00:25:26.260 think about it it's pretty extraordinary that we select group of human beings right because whatever
00:25:35.940 touched us at some point in our lives are able to sit in a room and come together uh-huh and uh
00:25:42.400 actually talk about saving the planet i mean it's so almost extraterrestrial
00:25:47.760 it is think about almost false in a way and if you said that to most people most people i mean
00:25:53.240 they think you're just a crazy tree-hugging lefty liberal you know do-gooder whatever yes yes
00:25:58.480 that's right and there's no relationship but really that's where we are really he's saving the planet
00:26:03.060 but really uh what we are are gods really that's what we are we are we are your overlords and your gods
00:26:11.980 and we're saving this planet uh in spite of you every once in a while they just blurt out something
00:26:16.980 that's so true isn't that amazing like that's exactly how they think that is like that is the
00:26:22.300 quiet part out loud for everyone to hear yes we're special we're select uh we're a group of people who
00:26:29.180 are saving the planet from the other dummies who just got us into this mess by driving their big cars
00:26:34.980 i just and of course we still get to drive our big cars as elites we still john carrey still gets
00:26:42.960 he still gets to get a private jet over to davos right yes you know and he won't apologize for that
00:26:48.260 he's told us in the past i will not apologize for my private jet travel because i'm worth it i'm saving
00:26:54.840 the planet that you little people aren't that's really what they think yeah it is it's it's great
00:26:59.420 i really like these types of moments where they will just say you know it's really helpful
00:27:04.140 it is legitimately a positive everybody really see who you are and what you think of yourself and what
00:27:10.800 you think of us yeah there's a clip but we played the other day of joy behar uh-huh who you know
00:27:15.920 she's fantastic and she was on the view and she was talking about the biden document scandal
00:27:21.500 and she said people are like wondering well what's the difference between this trump thing and this
00:27:28.800 biden thing well we know trump is a criminal yeah right that's right and we know that biden
00:27:35.200 is a good guy therefore we we assume that he did this as a mistake incredible it was like she was
00:27:40.620 making this as if it was an incredible argument and it's like well this is exactly what we're accusing
00:27:45.240 you of right we're accusing you of not looking at both sides because you've predetermined that one
00:27:51.420 side is good and one side is bad yeah and that's exactly what you're admitting to she has shown over
00:27:56.060 the year she's not capable of looking at both sides no she's an idiot i mean like joy behar is a
00:28:00.540 complete idiot john carrey is just an elitist who thinks he's better than everybody else and look at
00:28:05.020 how he just he couldn't keep it inside any longer yeah it's incredible because he's been thinking about
00:28:10.220 this how wonderful he is yeah and the people with him and how elite they are and what good they're
00:28:16.040 doing for the planet and it just burst out of him because he couldn't hold it in anymore and in some
00:28:21.880 ways isn't it understandable right john carrey think of his life yeah he's over in nantucket
00:28:27.480 you know doing this you know wakeboarding and he comes off of the of that island and then flies
00:28:35.160 in a private jet to davos to rub shoulders with then this is after he spent his entire life
00:28:41.400 accomplishing nothing yeah he's a giant zilch from birth to today and he is rewarded for that behavior
00:28:50.280 by being treated incredibly well and being able to avoid every single one of the things he recommends
00:28:57.560 for the rest of society he is able to avoid uh living a carbon neutral i guarantee his house on
00:29:04.460 nantucket oh come on it's not it's not it's not carbon neutral it's not 1800 square feet i can promise
00:29:11.260 you that right this is a this it is super nice and he's got super nice cars and super nice toys
00:29:19.260 and he flies all over the world on a private jet and tells everyone else they're evil for even thinking
00:29:24.580 about driving a car and they won't apologize for it either no still because uh you little people sick
00:29:32.620 at me and i don't have to explain anything i do to you right that's who he is that's the attitude
00:29:38.940 and when you're when you live your life that way and you live your life with that double standard for
00:29:43.720 this long and you're never punished for it in fact you're rewarded for it of course you think you're
00:29:49.300 better than everyone else you don't have to live by their rules and instead of the i mean you know they
00:29:55.640 talk about in extreme cases we've seen environmentalists over and over again say things like people should be
00:30:01.080 put in prison for their their climate beliefs people should be executed for their climate beliefs
00:30:08.240 this has been talked about for decades among the you know far environmentalists left and even the
00:30:15.600 people who are not you wouldn't consider on the extremes are saying things like well basically we
00:30:21.440 need to hold back fossil fuels cheap reliable energy for people in the third world so they can you know
00:30:28.180 sorry me the global south uh and so thank you so that thank you i was offended there for a minute
00:30:33.600 thank you i'm glad i caught myself where they can struggle let them struggle they don't deserve
00:30:38.900 the the dependable energy we built our civilization i'll screw them give them the experimental solar
00:30:45.800 stuff that doesn't work right let them and then if oh yeah sure it's more expensive so what
00:30:51.520 who cares we're the global north we get to do whatever we want and that's what they that's
00:30:59.780 how they see themselves and so you can see how something like this would develop it really is
00:31:03.340 it's it's outrageous frankly uh and you're right it's it's not just fun but it's important to see
00:31:11.640 them in these kinds of moments where they just share it with the world because the world in general i don't
00:31:16.880 think believes the things that we say about about these elites every day and then and then here's
00:31:22.940 proof positive this is what we're saying this is who they think they are they're better than us and
00:31:28.120 they don't have to follow the same rules as we do so they continue to meet in these private little
00:31:34.580 meetings in davos and wherever else with the builder burgers and the what a burgers and the bacon
00:31:41.820 cheeseburgers and they just keep plotting out our future for us they think and trying to figure out
00:31:49.780 how they can separate themselves even further from the rest of us then we had uh greta greta
00:31:55.540 thunberg yesterday in germany being arrested uh do we have that clip because it's uh it's really
00:32:02.760 frightening what happened to her yesterday she was look at this so they're setting up the fact that
00:32:09.380 they're about to arrest her this isn't this isn't set up at all uh they're all standing standing
00:32:21.120 there trying to figure out how they're gonna do this all right they're holding her hands uh-huh
00:32:25.560 uh-huh and they're waiting until they're all videotaped and photographed and then they're gonna
00:32:33.620 they're gonna carry her away oh wow yeah what an arrest later on incredible they pick her up and
00:32:42.840 they carry her uh and she's like smiling and she's smiling she's having a good time it's like a little
00:32:47.440 she's like a little kid and you're just like taking going for a ride with mommy and daddy what is the
00:32:52.360 point of that i wonder good she's so uh committed to her activism that she's willing to be arrested
00:33:02.220 well okay not really arrested but she's willing to set it up as if she was being arrested play
00:33:07.760 arrested amazing well it's true too i mean the issue here of course is not even greta right greta
00:33:12.420 you expect this sort of behavior from greta what are the police doing in this situation
00:33:16.040 they're posing for pictures this is embarrassing you know it's one thing to look it's not a surprise
00:33:22.880 that greta greta thunberg would arrange a situation where five activists are arrested by 30 police
00:33:32.160 officers and 50 media standing by taking pictures that is not a surprise why the police would partake
00:33:37.520 in such a situation is kind of a surprise like they that's a problem you got a problem going on
00:33:42.560 there with your police force if that's if that's even real i mean do we find out later that that was
00:33:46.640 essentially those aren't actually police officers even would not be at all surprised i wouldn't be
00:33:51.040 surprised either again the these these arguments are built on lies and to expand them you just need to
00:33:57.300 expand the lies this is what they do all the time constantly and people like greta i don't know if
00:34:06.820 she's crossed the line yet from useful idiot to you know someone who's partaking in you know the
00:34:14.920 theater of all of this certain you know i think when she was you know a small child she was i think a
00:34:23.260 victim in some ways of of of the parents and people around yeah because she you could tell she was
00:34:29.840 legitimately yeah petrified terrified of what is happening in the world to uh bring about climate
00:34:37.460 change she really thought as some of them do that we had 10 years left and that's you know if you
00:34:44.180 really believed that the planet is being destroyed at such a rate that you only have 10 years left
00:34:49.260 yeah you'd you'd fight against it and she really believed she was going to die yeah and that no
00:34:55.620 one cared about her right and it's like right like look as a child of course this is a what you would
00:35:00.620 call childish belief right she has a childish belief and her parents and others around them
00:35:07.960 propagating this onto her is abuse they are abusing her childlike belief system to terrify her for their
00:35:17.660 own ends i mean that is it's like you know we we we criticize like a parent on tiktok who like
00:35:23.440 pranks their kid and terrifies them you know this this happens every once in a while and everyone's
00:35:27.760 like god what kind of parent would do that every left-wing parent would do it every one of them they
00:35:32.580 are doing they are doing it they're doing it on tiktok as well but they're making your child believe
00:35:38.380 they're going to die because of a 0.9 degree centigrade uh temperature rise over 100 years
00:35:46.900 is the type of thing that qualifies as really crappy parenting you know and you know michael
00:35:54.080 schellenberger i know you've you've talked to him before we had him on yesterday about a totally
00:35:57.460 different topic he was actually talking about davos uh he's been writing a lot about that recently
00:36:02.320 but he wrote his book apocalypse never which is a book about and he's a big environmentalist and
00:36:08.860 he was known as like an award-winning environmentalist on the cover of time magazine
00:36:12.700 cnn documentaries about him blah blah blah and he now he's a traitor now he's now he's evil and a
00:36:19.140 traitor but the one of the reasons why he decided to write this book because he had had if i remember
00:36:23.340 the the chronology correctly he had had this awakening where he had looked at this information said wait a
00:36:29.560 a lot of this stuff isn't true he looked into it looked at the first sources interviewed people
00:36:34.060 who who are being quoted as saying hey there's only 10 years left and uh you know found out that they
00:36:40.800 weren't even saying that i mean they would tell him no that's not what i mean at all um so he went
00:36:45.140 through all this and had this awakening and and had talked about it at some level but didn't write the
00:36:48.840 book until he saw the friends of his daughter who were terrified about global warming and the climate
00:36:56.520 catastrophe that was around the corner he's like you know my daughter we talk about this all the time
00:37:00.180 she's not feeling that way but her friends were like we got to get the information out to people
00:37:06.340 who are trying right some you know look greta's parents are not i don't think trying uh but uh a lot
00:37:13.380 of people get fooled by this stuff and believe that you know their kids are going to die they have to do
00:37:18.580 something and if they don't have the real information they wind up ruining their children's lives
00:37:26.100 over this yeah there are all they do is stress about this yeah and you could say to a you know
00:37:31.300 an idiot like aoc or joy behar you say gotta learn the information and and and come into modern society
00:37:38.920 a little bit here understand what's going on read something but to a child you can't do that i mean a
00:37:44.860 child obviously can read these things at some age they can start to understand it but generally speaking
00:37:49.220 they're going they're they're they're judging their lives based on what their parents are telling them
00:37:53.720 and we see this with gender we see this with crt and we see it with climate the parents bring in
00:38:01.380 these ridiculous belief systems and then the children are the victims of this they are the
00:38:07.760 victims their lives their childhoods get ruined by these belief systems it's really sad really is

00:40:02.880 it's pat and stew and you know we've been talking about sort of the environmentalist
00:40:07.680 craziness that has been going on lately and pushing our country in such a i mean you talk to think about
00:40:14.440 esg generally e is environmentalist uh environmentalism and it is only a part of that
00:40:23.140 that uh you know three letter uh acronym but it is so important and uh probably the part that gets the
00:40:30.600 most attention glenn has been really clear that you got to go after the e the s and the g it's really
00:40:35.260 important but the e is kind of the the most obvious i think to people and you see this happen to so many
00:40:40.820 that you know these countries are now prioritizing this woke ideology over their own citizens their own
00:40:48.360 lives i mean look how this has played out in europe as soon as you have something like a one invasion
00:40:53.320 of russia of ukraine all of a sudden you're in a situation where you can't keep your your your people
00:40:58.900 warm and that's playing out all over europe right now and it's really what greta greta thunberg was
00:41:07.280 protesting it's the fact that they've ramped up you know the coal production so that they can have
00:41:11.840 heat this winter and she's protesting that huh all right you'd rather have people freeze to death i
00:41:19.520 guess in the cold yeah it makes a lot of sense doesn't it the glenn back program uh notion that
00:41:26.420 the collapse of everything you depend on isn't just something that belongs on the summer blockbuster

00:43:04.900 Oh, oh, oh, stand up straight and hold the line.
00:43:10.360 It's a new day of time to rise.
00:43:18.860 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:24.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:30.800 Welcome back.
00:43:31.960 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn here on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:35.260 He should be back tomorrow.
00:43:37.040 What's going on with the Biden document scandal?
00:43:39.760 What's going on with the Biden crime family?
00:43:42.420 We'll get into that coming up here in just a second.
00:43:46.180 Let me ask you something.
00:43:47.300 The one thing that villains have throughout history, what have they all had on their side
00:43:54.820 when it came time for them to become tyrants?
00:43:58.740 Give you a hint.
00:43:59.380 Same thing the World Economic Forum has on its side this week in Davos.
00:44:04.240 And that thing is complacency.
00:44:07.000 Enough people who don't understand, haven't understood history, or are buying into the lies,
00:44:13.420 and they won't stand up and say, hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:44:17.460 I don't want any of that.
00:44:19.120 So, what do we do when the next bad guy comes along?
00:44:23.640 Do we just sit there, owning nothing, being happy, eating zip bugs?
00:44:28.480 Where does it all end?
00:44:30.020 What can we do?
00:44:31.020 What must we do?
00:44:32.060 Well, the first thing you have to do is educate yourself, your children, and everyone we can
00:44:36.860 as a people, so people can spot the villains before they get anywhere close to holding any
00:44:42.120 real power or influence.
00:44:43.980 Time is ticking, but our children need to learn this, and they are not going to survive unless
00:44:50.640 we double our efforts.
00:44:53.200 The Tuttle Twins, they have a new book, The Guide to Modern Villains.
00:44:56.740 It shows how 22 modern villains, people like Mao, rose to power.

00:45:34.000 And after that, I'm going to be actually stepping in for Glenn as well on his program.
00:45:38.040 We've got a great show about what is going on with this Biden document scandal.
00:45:42.940 What is the real thing that we're supposed to be understanding here?
00:45:46.940 What is everybody missing in Biden's classified document scandal?
00:45:51.160 We'll get into that tonight.
00:45:52.920 One of the best people you can possibly talk to on this particular topic, however, is Peter Schweizer.
00:45:59.020 He is the Government Accountability Institute president.
00:46:02.300 He's the author of Red Handed and tons and tons of New York Times bestsellers.
00:46:06.960 And, of course, maybe the preeminent expert on the corruption in the Biden family.
00:46:12.340 Peter Schweizer joins us now.
00:46:13.800 Hey, Peter.
00:46:14.100 How's it going?
00:46:15.400 Hey, it's great, Stu.
00:46:16.500 Good to be with you, old friend.
00:46:17.740 Thanks for having me.
00:46:18.540 We really appreciate you coming on today in a very weird time.
00:46:23.520 And the document scandal is an interesting thing because I will say this.
00:46:28.280 When it comes to most presidents in our history, Republican or Democrat, the idea that they have a few documents hanging out in a garage at a think tank doesn't really worry me all that much.
00:46:41.940 We should make sure we correct the situation.
00:46:45.080 You know, if they're doing something with these documents, I want to know about it.
00:46:49.320 But when it comes to the Biden family, considering all the corruption you've unearthed and others have talked about over the years, is this something we should really be worrying about?
00:46:58.400 Well, yes, I think context is everything.
00:47:02.720 I tend to agree with you, Stu.
00:47:04.280 I mean, look, it's in a way I'm not minimizing the fact that we have elected officials and appointed officials.
00:47:12.620 You know, Hillary Clinton is secretary of state.
00:47:14.960 Donald Trump is president.
00:47:16.920 Joe Biden is vice president who have classified documents are found to have them in their possession.
00:47:22.420 I'm not minimizing that.
00:47:24.520 But but the question is, in what context is it occurring?
00:47:28.140 And when you look at the Biden circumstance, it is particularly troubling because the business entanglements and the financial ties that the Biden family has at the time.
00:47:39.560 So just think about it this way, Stu.
00:47:41.820 You've got Joe Biden's residence in Delaware and you've got documents there.
00:47:47.140 Now, if it's Joe Biden there, if nobody's there because he's in the White House, that's not necessarily a big problem.
00:47:55.580 The problem is that these documents now are believed to have been there for quite some time after he left the vice presidency.
00:48:04.520 And Hunter Biden was a residence there.
00:48:06.780 He claimed that same home as a residence.
00:48:09.840 He was known to be living there.
00:48:11.200 And at the precise time that those documents were there at the House, Hunter Biden was receiving large payments from Chinese officials, including a company that employed a gentleman named Patrick Ho that Hunter Biden famously called the effing spy chief of China.
00:48:31.920 And CEFC was headed by a guy named Chairman Yee, who was known to have worked for Chinese military intelligence.
00:48:41.760 So to me, this story is all about context.
00:48:45.260 And the context in this sense is very, very troubling.
00:48:50.380 It's interesting because you think about a foreign spy agency.
00:48:53.460 I remember you talking about this in your book.
00:48:55.660 There is a there's an idea that you should look for vulnerable targets within, you know, within the the the structure, the power structure of your enemy.
00:49:08.180 Right. When you're trying to find out information, when you're trying to have influence over another country, you don't just go into like their, you know, the most, you know, complicated systems and try to hack in.
00:49:20.080 I mean, they all they all try to do that as well.
00:49:21.700 But you look for somebody who's personally vulnerable, who's who's the type of person who's going to give you this information because they're doing something else on the side.
00:49:30.460 Maybe they shouldn't be. I mean, that there's no better example in our entire society than Hunter Biden.
00:49:38.140 Yeah, no, you're right, Stu.
00:49:39.960 You know, if you look through the span of history, whether, you know, it's Robert Hansen or Aldrich Ames,
00:49:45.260 these people that during the Cold War spied for the Soviets, every one of them had personal problems, either either they, you know,
00:49:55.480 they had sort of sexual scandals in their life.
00:49:58.000 They had substance abuse problems and issues.
00:50:01.980 It's a common thing.
00:50:03.280 You look for the vulnerabilities, the weak points for people.
00:50:07.340 The United States certainly does it.
00:50:09.080 If you look at some of the Soviet defectors that came over in the Cold War, the same sort of situation applied.
00:50:16.420 In the case of Hunter Biden, that is unambiguously the case.
00:50:21.160 And, you know, it's interesting to me the evolution of what the Biden position has been on Hunter Biden has changed.
00:50:30.200 When we first exposed back in 2018, I came on your show and I came on Glenn's show in a book I wrote called Secret Empires.
00:50:38.660 It was the first book that really exposed Hunter Biden's dealings in China and the extent of his dealings in Ukraine.
00:50:45.560 And when that book came out, the Biden response was, this is ridiculous.
00:50:49.640 Hunter Biden is a legitimate businessman.
00:50:52.040 He went to Yale Law School.
00:50:54.100 You know, how dare you, you know, somehow call this illegitimate?
00:50:56.980 Well, they've now gone completely 180 degrees the other direction.
00:51:02.160 Their argument now is that, you know, well, you know, Hunter had substance abuse issues.
00:51:07.600 He really didn't know what he was doing.
00:51:09.880 And the reason is that he's got this tax case looming over him where he failed to pay taxes on his foreign earnings.
00:51:18.640 So they have gone from him being sort of the, you know, the high flying professional man to somebody who has addiction problems.
00:51:28.180 That is is certainly I understand why they're doing that as a legal strategy.
00:51:32.420 But to your point, that only further emphasizes the fact that we know that they were sending tens of millions of dollars that Hunter Biden received.
00:51:42.520 He got that in a private equity deal from the Chinese government arranged thing.
00:51:47.280 We know he was getting wire transfers from this energy company, CEFC.
00:51:51.940 We know another gentleman named Henry Zhao wired him five million dollars.
00:51:56.420 Henry Zhao was business partners with the family of the minister of state security who's responsible for China spy agency.
00:52:03.900 So to your point, Stu, it begs the question, why are all these people in China sending money to a guy who has substance abuse problems and he's not doing anything in return for that money?
00:52:19.100 It is a classic example of the kinds of issues that you have when foreign intelligence agencies are trying to recruit people.
00:52:29.020 And that, to me, is the larger story here.
00:52:32.960 I mean, in typical Washington fashion, the mainstream media ignores the fact that the Bidens have received all this money from Chinese entities linked to Chinese intelligence.
00:52:42.420 They perform no service in return.
00:52:45.180 They brought nothing to the table.
00:52:46.600 And yet that gets ignored by the media.
00:52:49.640 But sort of this more bureaucratic question about the possession of certain classified documents, suddenly the mainstream media thinks it's a story.
00:52:57.640 In my mind, the bigger story is the corruption and the intelligence and espionage aspect of these financial deals with the Biden family.
00:53:06.380 In all of your research, Peter, have you figured out a way that I can get this Hunter Biden deal?
00:53:11.900 Because I want millions of dollars for nothing, too.
00:53:14.720 And I just can't figure out how to do it.
00:53:17.920 Well, Stu, first we've got to I think you're probably your family is going to object this.
00:53:22.300 First, we've got to get you addicted on some drugs.
00:53:24.520 OK.
00:53:25.500 I'm not sure you're going to be in favor of that.
00:53:28.680 But and then you've got to you know, you've got to have a family member.
00:53:32.360 You've got to marry into a family or or somebody in your family has to marry into a very powerful political figure.
00:53:38.100 And if you do that, then you might have a shot for a Hunter Biden kind of deal.
00:53:42.920 All right.
00:53:43.020 I'm going to work on that.
00:53:44.020 Let's take a quick break.
00:53:44.860 I want to come back on the other side, Peter, with some of the some of the some of the pushback on this, because some people are saying, look, this is a totally different situation.
00:53:52.400 Some people are saying there's other issues associated with this that that make it totally OK for Biden and maybe not OK for Trump or somebody else.
00:54:00.780 We'll get into that here in about 60 seconds.
00:54:02.420 Talking to Peter Schweizer back in a second.
00:54:04.860 OK, let me tell you about our sponsor.
00:54:07.140 It's Relief Factor.
00:54:08.760 Does your head hurt after listening to this program?
00:54:12.580 Do you just have a throbbing migraine?
00:54:15.640 It could be that your head is about to explode.
00:54:19.180 So what do you need to do?
00:54:20.620 You need to reduce the inflammation in your head.
00:54:24.680 All right.
00:54:26.060 Now, this is one of the reasons that I would say Relief Factor exists.
00:54:31.040 They can't say, you know, legally that they'll stop your head from exploding.
00:54:35.640 But I know it will reduce inflammation in your body.
00:54:39.280 I know it helps.
00:54:40.740 At least it does with my pain.
00:54:42.560 Doesn't help my head from exploding, though.
00:54:44.940 That's weird.

00:55:08.620 10 seconds.
00:55:09.420 Station ID.
00:55:21.400 Back with Peter Schweizer talking about the Biden situation with the documents.
00:55:25.780 And Peter, there's some pushback here, right?
00:55:27.700 People are saying a bunch of different stuff.
00:55:29.840 Maybe the more boring argument here, and you tell me if it's valid, is that the United States
00:55:36.400 really has an overclassification problem.
00:55:39.520 That we classify tons and tons of documents that shouldn't be classified simply because they
00:55:45.160 were handed to the vice president.
00:55:46.460 It's a, whatever, it's a, it's a summary of, of the news.
00:55:50.100 And it's, it's not a big deal.
00:55:52.300 You could get the same stuff online, but we classify so many things.
00:55:56.120 And that's why these documents keep popping up in every single garage next to a Corvette
00:56:01.540 in the Biden family.
00:56:04.140 Well, there's some truth to that.
00:56:06.220 The problem is there are plenty of people in the military, active duty military and the
00:56:12.940 reserves who, you know, managed to unfortunately have a classified document in their briefcase
00:56:20.020 or they, you know, took photos somewhere they weren't supposed to take photos and ended
00:56:24.280 up being prosecuted because they had classified materials.
00:56:28.600 So my point would be, yes, I think the overclassification is a problem, but you don't solve that by letting
00:56:35.040 insiders out and having a different standard for them than that you do for the rank and
00:56:41.400 file.
00:56:42.060 I think the other point that needs to be made is that, you know, it's, it's a challenge
00:56:47.120 because we don't know what we don't know.
00:56:49.640 We know that these documents are there.
00:56:51.960 We know that some of them apparently, according to the reporting were classified top secret,
00:56:57.760 but we don't know why they were classified.
00:57:00.200 And we don't know the nature of those documents.
00:57:02.660 Were they, like you said, rudimentary analysis by some State Department flunky that doesn't
00:57:09.080 amount to anything?
00:57:10.380 Or were they classified documents that actually, you know, could be valuable to a foreign power?
00:57:17.180 And we just don't know what is clear is that the standard, you know, that they're applying
00:57:25.320 to elected officials, senior officials is not the same when they put, they apply to the
00:57:30.400 enlisted.
00:57:30.800 And this really happened.
00:57:32.180 If you go back to the Hillary Clinton case, if you remember, you know, former Secretary of
00:57:37.420 State Hillary Clinton had classified documents on her laptop.
00:57:41.560 Um, lots of them, um, some of them top secret.
00:57:45.760 And basically what we heard from James Comey, the head of the FBI is that, yes, she had these
00:57:51.380 classified documents, but, you know, nobody would really prosecute her because she didn't
00:57:55.740 intend to violate the law by possession of these documents.
00:58:00.860 The law says nothing about intent.
00:58:03.200 The law is very clear about possession of documents.
00:58:06.120 So, you know, whether it's Hillary Clinton or the Trump case or the Biden case, um, we
00:58:12.520 have got to create a clear standard that applies to everyone that has access to classified
00:58:19.280 documents.
00:58:19.820 And we can't stop, you know, we have to stop bending the rules, uh, for senior elected officials
00:58:25.500 and say, oh, it's not really a big deal of this case because they're a big, important
00:58:29.500 person.
00:58:29.960 That's just not a good standard to have.
00:58:32.860 Peter, this is Pat Gray.
00:58:33.660 Um, there seems to be a, a theory that's kind of circulating around because of the timing
00:58:38.600 of this, that, uh, maybe there's a faction of the Democrats that don't want Joe Biden
00:58:45.660 to run in 2024.
00:58:46.860 And maybe, uh, these documents have all of a sudden been found after the midterms, uh,
00:58:52.940 because they want to embarrass him so much that he can't run.
00:58:57.360 What, what do you make of that?
00:58:59.660 Uh, Pat, I think that's a very shrewd observation.
00:59:02.580 Um, I mean, look, uh, you know, let's be clear.
00:59:06.080 A lot of times the leaks that happen, this certainly happened in the Trump administration,
00:59:10.260 uh, did not come from people on the other side.
00:59:13.600 They came people from people close within the circle.
00:59:16.560 And, and what we know about Joe Biden is this, I mean, his poll numbers are not great.
00:59:22.340 Uh, there are certainly questions about, you know, his physical health, his physical fitness.
00:59:27.460 Um, the other thing that has to be recognized on a broader level, just in terms of party
00:59:32.760 politics is he's not a great fundraiser.
00:59:35.600 He hasn't been a great fundraiser.
00:59:37.480 I mean, this is not Barack Obama, for example, who can go out and raise oodles of cash, uh,
00:59:44.040 because of his charisma.
00:59:45.240 And I think there are a lot of people in the democratic party that are concerned that
00:59:49.840 he's just not up to it in 20, uh, 24.
00:59:53.520 Um, you've got people like Gavin Newsom, for example, the governor of California waiting
00:59:57.880 in the wings.
00:59:59.060 They're trying to position him as sort of the, you know, the California JFK.
01:00:03.500 So I agree with you.
01:00:04.920 I think there are, there are factions within the democratic party.
01:00:08.160 Um, and there are probably people at the department of justice and elsewhere, uh, that wouldn't
01:00:13.860 mind putting their thumb on the scale saying, essentially, thank you, Joe Biden for your
01:00:19.520 service on our behalf.
01:00:20.900 You beat Donald Trump, but it's time for you to go and we need to run with a younger horse.
01:00:26.580 So I'm sure that that is probably a factor in this.
01:00:29.840 And it's probably determining the fact that even among some Democrats on Capitol Hill,
01:00:35.060 you're seeing rumblings that, um, that, you know, we're, we're going to take this, uh,
01:00:40.100 this Biden documents, uh, story very, very seriously.
01:00:44.040 That's partly political calculation.
01:00:46.460 They want a younger horse, you know, someone in their seventies, someone who could just step
01:00:50.240 to the, uh, Peter, uh, one of the big arguments, and we got about two minutes here, but one of
01:00:55.580 the big arguments is look, the Biden case is totally different than the Trump case.
01:00:59.540 The Trump case is much, much worse.
01:01:01.120 You can't compare these two.
01:01:02.960 What is there anything to that argument?
01:01:05.800 Well, what they argue is, is that, um, you know, uh, there's been a discussion.
01:01:10.200 Donald Trump has documents, the national records wants them back.
01:01:14.420 Trump says they're mine and there's kind of a dispute there.
01:01:17.820 Um, what I would say is, okay, there's a dispute, but they are talking and they are trying to work
01:01:22.120 it through.
01:01:22.640 Um, in the Biden case, what they argue is, oh, we found them, um, and we turned them
01:01:28.280 over.
01:01:28.960 Um, well, that's not clear.
01:01:30.500 We don't know when we found them.
01:01:32.040 We don't know how they were found.
01:01:34.160 Um, and I think the other question we have to recognize is, and I don't know all the intricacies
01:01:39.160 of it, but there are differences between what a president and what a vice president gets
01:01:45.560 in terms of access to documents and possession of documents after they leave office.
01:01:51.340 So it's a very, very complicated thing, but in my mind, no, um, there really is not any
01:01:57.760 difference.
01:01:58.180 There shouldn't be any difference.
01:01:59.780 And again, we've got to stop making exceptions and rules depending on the politics of the
01:02:05.140 person involved that has the documents.
01:02:07.920 Well, I like Hillary Clinton.
01:02:09.220 I hate Donald Trump.
01:02:10.060 So they're different.
01:02:10.800 Or I love Donald Trump and I hate, uh, uh, Joe Biden.
01:02:14.280 So they're different.
01:02:14.940 We need to try to treat them all equally.
01:02:17.660 Um, that's what I think is the key here because our biggest challenge right now, in my mind,
01:02:22.300 in the country, people talk about, you know, democracy and, and, and, you know, elections
01:02:27.600 is in my mind, the criminal justice system.
01:02:30.380 If you look through history, the biggest example of a declining civilization is when the criminal
01:02:36.000 justice system is no longer trusted because people feel that the results are automatically
01:02:41.620 skewed.
01:02:42.260 And I feel like we are in that place, uh, and this would move us further in that direction.
01:02:47.800 And that's a terrible place for us to be as a country.
01:02:51.100 It's very true.
01:02:52.000 It's, it's foundational to our civilization.
01:02:54.220 And it is, uh, it seems to be dissolving in front of our eyes.
01:02:58.440 Peter Schweizer, you can get his stuff at peterschweizer.com or on Twitter at Peter Schweizer.
01:03:02.680 He's the president of the Government Accountability Institute and author of a bunch of great books
01:03:08.340 that really changed the country.
01:03:10.060 Uh, Red Handed is the latest and you should definitely have the entire Peter Schweizer
01:03:14.900 library.
01:03:15.660 Uh, thanks Peter so much for coming on.
01:03:17.800 We appreciate it and help, helping us break down this craziness because we're certainly

01:04:26.160 I know it's happening to me.

01:05:45.560 888-727-BECK.
01:05:48.360 Are you surprised at the way this Prince Harry book spare is selling?
01:05:56.740 Supposedly, I was reading last week that it was one of the fastest selling books of all
01:06:02.260 time, not just like, you know, pre-pandemic or post-pandemic or during the pandemic, of
01:06:08.460 all time?
01:06:10.960 Why?
01:06:11.940 Why?
01:06:12.700 Pat, it's even outselling Michelle Obama's book.
01:06:16.540 Oh my gosh.
01:06:17.480 Now, there's only one reason for that, racism.
01:06:19.960 Thank you.
01:06:20.460 Okay, and well, and sexism.
01:06:21.260 It had to be said.
01:06:22.020 And sexism.
01:06:22.640 It had to be said.
01:06:23.420 That's the only thing.
01:06:24.340 But I mean, that is actually a surprise, considering the fawning attention that Michelle Obama book
01:06:31.020 received.
01:06:31.720 I mean, it was on every show.
01:06:32.840 She was the greatest person of all time.
01:06:34.120 And maybe that's the reason it's selling better, in that like, I feel like there's a divide
01:06:37.940 maybe on Harry or Henry or whatever his name is.
01:06:41.640 This is, I really don't even know.
01:06:44.640 We fought a war to not have to care about princes.
01:06:49.660 We fought two of them.
01:06:50.520 Yeah.
01:06:51.040 Against these guys.
01:06:51.920 Yeah.
01:06:52.120 So that we didn't, we could leave the royal family behind us.
01:06:55.600 And now, all of a sudden, people are addicted to the royal family in this country?
01:07:00.040 It's really your birthright as an American citizen to not care about these people.
01:07:05.120 Right.
01:07:05.500 That is like, it's legitimately like the main thing we fought for.
01:07:08.820 We fought for the right to not have to care what they think or say.
01:07:12.300 We suffered through the White House being burned down.
01:07:15.680 Yes.
01:07:16.540 So that we could have the right not to worry about the royals.
01:07:19.020 Yeah.
01:07:19.940 And yet, all we want to do is talk about the royals.
01:07:22.520 I don't get it.
01:07:23.340 I really don't either.
01:07:24.200 And I don't understand the, for some reason, it seems like my oldest daughter is really
01:07:28.920 into it.
01:07:29.500 She loves the royal family for whatever reason.
01:07:32.420 I have no idea why.
01:07:33.920 And she couldn't wait to get the Harry book and she's reading it like crazy and obsessed
01:07:38.200 with it.
01:07:40.020 But it seems like the big problem is Meghan, Meghan Markle.
01:07:47.340 Yeah.
01:07:47.620 You know, Harry's wife.
01:07:48.720 And I don't understand what the problem is there, but I think you and I would both love
01:07:54.760 it if she left that marriage and went back to Suits.
01:07:58.080 Yeah.
01:07:58.980 The old USA show.
01:08:00.300 If it takes a divorce to do that, so be it.
01:08:02.780 If I get more Suits episodes, I'm totally into this.
01:08:05.580 Yes.
01:08:05.920 It's funny.
01:08:06.440 People don't, you know.
01:08:07.160 We need season eight of Suits.
01:08:09.020 Yeah.
01:08:09.720 People know her, Meghan Markle, as the princess.
01:08:12.460 I do not.
01:08:13.100 I know her as the girl from Suits, the show.
01:08:16.180 But she was on...
01:08:17.000 But people don't like her, right?
01:08:18.500 Isn't she the problem?
01:08:19.520 I think that's...
01:08:20.100 Yes.
01:08:20.260 I think people do not like her.
01:08:21.480 And I'm not sure why.
01:08:23.240 She was extremely likable on Suits.
01:08:25.180 She was acting.
01:08:27.020 You do know that, Pat.
01:08:27.940 That was not a documentary.
01:08:29.100 Oh, really?
01:08:29.560 Yeah.
01:08:29.920 Oh, you're kidding.
01:08:30.460 Yeah, no.
01:08:30.600 It's not a real law firm.
01:08:31.520 Oh, I thought it was.
01:08:32.600 No law firm changes the names on the door that many times.
01:08:35.080 Harvey and Mike are...
01:08:36.060 No.
01:08:36.580 They're not real people?
01:08:37.520 No.
01:08:38.060 Oh.
01:08:38.520 No.
01:08:38.920 That's really disappointing.
01:08:40.180 Now, I would read a book from her about her time on Suits.
01:08:44.920 That I would read.
01:08:45.900 Mm-hmm.
01:08:46.540 I don't know.
01:08:47.200 We may be in the minority on this one, though.
01:08:49.300 It's possible.
01:08:50.040 It's possible.
01:08:50.840 But it is a fascinating thing that people care.
01:08:53.220 And they seem to really care.
01:08:54.880 Mm-hmm.
01:08:55.140 They do.
01:08:55.540 There is a bit of just hate watching, I think, with, you know, the Netflix series and the
01:08:59.240 book where they just despise these people.
01:09:01.700 And they do come off as awfully elitist.
01:09:04.640 Now, that's not exactly a brilliant observation considering they were royals.
01:09:10.960 Right.
01:09:11.660 I mean, it's really the definition of the elite.
01:09:13.660 But, man, you know, I just don't...
01:09:16.260 I don't even think I care about...
01:09:18.020 Like, I don't even care about the sons and daughters of, you know, our leaders like this.
01:09:23.220 No, I...
01:09:23.960 Yeah.
01:09:24.220 You know, again, like, I'm sure they're...
01:09:25.840 You know, again, Hunter Biden is probably the closest you could come of me caring.
01:09:29.240 And that's only because I have no idea whether he's committed a thousand crimes or ten thousand
01:09:33.840 crimes.
01:09:34.320 And we know it's in that range.
01:09:35.900 Mm-hmm.
01:09:36.160 I mean, I just don't know how many crimes overall he's committed.
01:09:39.440 And I'm always fascinated by the fact that, like, Hunter Biden seems to be the one person
01:09:43.860 who is able to just go on, you know, coke benders with prostitutes all over the world and no
01:09:51.220 one cares.
01:09:52.520 He could do it on film.
01:09:54.020 You know, we have...
01:09:55.100 And he has.
01:09:55.760 Right.
01:09:56.100 Over and over and over again.
01:09:57.060 Like, I just feel like...
01:09:58.460 Like, has this ever happened?
01:09:59.340 Is there anybody filmed more often in the nude than Hunter Biden?
01:10:05.840 No.
01:10:06.180 Most...
01:10:06.500 Even porn stars.
01:10:07.360 Right.
01:10:07.600 Porn stars who do this for a living.
01:10:08.940 They're not as naked as he is.
01:10:09.660 No.
01:10:11.040 Hunter Biden is always naked and always filming himself.
01:10:14.020 Those are the only two things we know about the guy.
01:10:15.640 Nobody loves Hunter Biden more than Hunter Biden.
01:10:19.320 In fact, I don't know if anybody loves him at all.
01:10:21.700 No.
01:10:22.340 But he does.
01:10:23.420 He definitely does.
01:10:23.980 So he's got him.
01:10:25.040 He loves himself.
01:10:26.060 Yeah.
01:10:26.280 It's a very weird situation why you would care.
01:10:31.440 You know, and really, like, a lot of these...
01:10:32.920 You go back and look at the scandals that have happened with family members of presidents.
01:10:36.080 Generally speaking, they're blurbs, right?
01:10:37.880 They're little, you know, bits and pieces.
01:10:40.980 Occasionally, they pop up to more prominence than that.
01:10:43.860 But it's pretty rare.
01:10:45.820 Yet, we're obsessed with the country that we left and what the drama is over there.
01:10:49.560 I don't know why.
01:10:51.220 Never understood it.
01:10:52.080 And they compare...
01:10:53.080 I mean, there's really no American comparison.
01:10:56.420 I've heard the Kennedys brought up as maybe our American royalty, but they don't even really
01:11:03.120 compare to what...
01:11:04.540 The way people fawn over the royal family in Britain.
01:11:08.140 And also, like, the Kennedys had a real impact on the country, right?
01:11:12.640 Yeah.
01:11:12.940 Like, one of them was the president of the United States.
01:11:15.120 Right.
01:11:15.440 Another one was...
01:11:16.400 One was attorney general.
01:11:17.100 Another one, and likely to be president of the United States.
01:11:19.900 Another one...
01:11:20.860 A U.S. senator for 135 years.
01:11:24.200 Exactly.
01:11:24.860 Like, they were not a...
01:11:26.160 We were not fascinated with them because of their personal lives.
01:11:29.980 Their personal lives became fascinating to many, partially because one of them was murdering
01:11:34.780 people, but also because they were in real positions of prominence and leadership.
01:11:41.920 They affected, most of the time, negatively, our country.
01:11:46.540 Mm-hmm.
01:11:47.300 So, yeah, you know, at times when you have a prominent figure, you will look at their personal
01:11:53.500 lives and...
01:11:54.940 But you have to have that prominence first.
01:11:56.440 Like, you know, even the queen or king of England has very little actual effect on their
01:12:03.720 country.
01:12:04.540 They don't...
01:12:05.180 Well, yeah.
01:12:05.720 It's a ceremonial role, largely.
01:12:07.540 Right.
01:12:08.180 Right.
01:12:08.480 They attend open houses and grocery store openings.
01:12:14.540 They're big grocery store opening people, yeah.
01:12:16.460 They get the big scissors and they cut the ribbon at a grocery store opening.
01:12:20.260 That's my understanding of the royal family.
01:12:21.820 That's what the queen does.
01:12:23.080 Right?
01:12:23.900 They're at Kroger and they're opening up...
01:12:26.540 It's a brand new American grocery store called Kroger.
01:12:30.340 Ah!
01:12:30.600 And I just cut the ribbon.
01:12:32.120 And now I'll see you in five years.
01:12:33.800 Like, that's pretty much what happened.
01:12:35.240 Am I wrong on that?
01:12:36.100 No.
01:12:36.440 That's my understanding of the royal family.
01:12:38.080 That's it.
01:12:38.340 I mean, they took away all their actual power years and years and years ago.
01:12:41.740 They don't have any power.
01:12:42.680 With good reason.
01:12:43.460 And I can understand there is a cultural significance to that role.
01:12:48.300 I can understand why the British are obsessed with it.
01:12:52.460 But, like, you know, here?
01:12:55.560 I know.
01:12:56.400 It doesn't make any sense.
01:12:57.900 It doesn't make any sense at all.
01:12:58.160 Now, we are obsessed with other things that are idiotic.
01:13:01.240 Like, we're obsessed with, you know, every Elon Musk tweet.
01:13:05.620 You know, we're obsessed with whatever Kim Kardashian or Kanye West say on a different...
01:13:10.600 Like, we have a celebrity obsession that is similar to the way the British feel, I guess, about the royals.
01:13:18.940 But I guess that's all it is here, right?
01:13:21.260 It's just a celebrity, you know, reality show.
01:13:24.780 Celebrity worship, almost.
01:13:25.560 Yeah.
01:13:25.740 That we're talking about.
01:13:26.740 Obsession.
01:13:27.160 It's a bit bizarre.
01:13:28.440 Yeah.
01:13:29.040 I mean, did we win this war or not?
01:13:31.100 I mean, look, it's like that thing that people observe every once in a while.
01:13:34.780 Like, oh, you own a dog?
01:13:36.380 Well, why are you walking around behind it cleaning up its poop?
01:13:38.880 Who really owns who?
01:13:40.220 And it's kind of the same situation here.
01:13:42.600 I mean, we say we won our independence, but did we?
01:13:45.540 If we're buying millions of copies about a book about a guy who is never going to even be the king of England,
01:13:53.960 did we win?
01:13:56.340 And he's talking about his noodle half the time.
01:13:59.600 I guess in this book.
01:14:00.940 Really?
01:14:01.120 I have not read the book.
01:14:02.140 His noodle.
01:14:02.740 But there's a lot of noodle discussion.
01:14:04.400 Really?
01:14:04.820 Yes.
01:14:05.960 Yes.
01:14:06.480 I didn't know that.
01:14:07.460 I don't know why exactly he spoke about his noodle, but he did.
01:14:11.700 Multiple times.
01:14:12.520 Really?
01:14:12.760 Or a lot.
01:14:13.380 And people were, like, shocked by it.
01:14:15.500 Well, he describes his noodle in there.
01:14:17.760 Yeah, I know.
01:14:19.920 I'm not interested.
01:14:21.140 It also seems like there's a bunch of this, like, these really dumb, petty family moments that are being blown up.
01:14:29.960 It's like, you know, one day, my brother, he wouldn't let me play the video game when he said he would.
01:14:39.660 It's like the stuff I hear from my 11-year-old.
01:14:42.120 And he's like, okay, I'm sorry that happened to you.
01:14:45.600 I don't know what else to say.
01:14:46.920 Like, get over it and move on with your life.
01:14:49.400 Right.
01:14:50.000 You know?
01:14:50.760 Right.
01:14:51.160 Why would we care about the idea?
01:14:53.220 It's fascinating.
01:14:54.560 Well, my daughter was telling me that one of the big issues in his book.
01:14:59.340 Other than the noodle?
01:15:00.120 Other than the noodle.
01:15:01.000 Mm-hmm.
01:15:01.800 Is the Nazi outfit that he wore.
01:15:04.440 Remember this?
01:15:05.040 Oh, yeah.
01:15:05.880 Like, 18, and they went to a costume party or something, and he went to the store or something and bought a costume or two, and he was trying to choose between them.
01:15:16.260 And so he blames William for saying, yeah, where are the Nazi ones?
01:15:19.900 Like, you're 18 years old.
01:15:21.460 You can't figure that out for yourself and say, you know, maybe the Nazi thing isn't the right way to go.
01:15:28.060 Maybe.
01:15:29.160 I probably forgot about that, Scott.
01:15:30.720 That's a real precursor to the blackface thing we've gone over lately.
01:15:34.000 Right, where every Democratic official in public office has apparently been in blackface multiple times.
01:15:39.140 But it's okay for them because they've got the D after their name.
01:15:41.600 It's totally fine for them.
01:15:42.940 That cures the racism.
01:15:44.340 The D cures the racism.
01:15:46.240 The D is like an antibiotic.
01:15:48.380 Yeah.
01:15:48.740 You know?
01:15:49.120 You have an infection.
01:15:50.660 You take the D pill.
01:15:51.960 And your racism is all of a sudden benign.
01:15:54.300 Yeah.
01:15:54.960 It's incredible.
01:15:55.500 It would be malignant if it was a Republican, but it's benign for the Democrats.
01:15:59.400 If you take the R pill, it will get worse.
01:16:01.320 Oh, my gosh.
01:16:02.240 It'll kill you.
01:16:02.560 Much, much worse.
01:16:03.260 And the rest of society.
01:16:05.480 How does this stuff happen?
01:16:07.080 I don't know.
01:16:07.380 I'd forgotten about that, that he did that.
01:16:09.520 And it was like, you know, again.
01:16:11.220 He blames it, apparently, almost entirely on William.
01:16:14.860 And that's pathetic.
01:16:15.700 Yeah, it is.
01:16:16.600 That's pathetic.
01:16:17.280 When you're 18.
01:16:18.840 Well, he was only 18.
01:16:20.880 Yeah, that's old enough.
01:16:21.900 Yeah.
01:16:22.280 Old enough to know you shouldn't dress as a Nazi.
01:16:25.180 Yeah, I would think.
01:16:26.940 Although we have such weird lines with this stuff.
01:16:29.420 Like, you know, I was watching a series the other day where, you know, a guy was dressed
01:16:33.660 as a Nazi.
01:16:34.880 And it's like, well, why is that okay?
01:16:36.680 Because he's playing a role?
01:16:38.760 Like, what are you doing at a costume party other than essentially playing a role?
01:16:44.120 Right?
01:16:44.340 You're putting on a costume to pretend you're somebody else for a day.
01:16:47.460 That's what acting is.
01:16:49.040 Yeah.
01:16:49.620 And you play Hitler and you get awards.
01:16:53.520 Like, why do we have these lines?
01:16:56.340 Interesting.
01:16:57.120 It really doesn't make any sense.
01:16:59.220 So much.
01:17:00.260 Now, that's something I keep coming back to, Pat.
01:17:02.900 We talk about issues every single day.
01:17:04.820 And so many of them don't make any sense.
01:17:07.420 Does anyone put any thought into any of it?
01:17:10.460 It seems like the answer to that is no.
01:17:13.080 No.
01:17:13.800 It does.
01:17:15.480 888-727-BECK.
01:17:17.420 More coming up.
01:17:19.880 Legacy box.
01:17:20.940 We're halfway through now, the first month of the new year.
01:17:23.140 Already, those New Year's resolutions probably starting to weigh down on you.
01:17:27.440 Like, have you even started?
01:17:28.840 I didn't make one, so it's great.
01:17:30.600 Here's one you can take off your list.
01:17:33.020 Do you have a box somewhere, if you're like me?
01:17:35.440 Lots of boxes with family, you know, home movies and pictures and everything tucked away
01:17:41.580 behind, you know, I don't know, old bowling trophies in the back of the closet.
01:17:45.140 If you have been meaning to find a way to preserve those,
01:17:48.460 those are disintegrating quickly.
01:17:51.760 If you go back and look at them, you'll see the photographs are fading.
01:17:55.560 Legacy box makes checking this off your to-do list really easy.
01:17:58.840 You just send the legacy box filled with the home movies and the photos and the slides or
01:18:03.200 whatever, and you get back digital copies along with your originals.
01:18:06.800 And it's all done here in America.
01:18:08.460 But it's now in a format that is permanent.
01:18:11.020 We've used legacy box before.
01:18:13.880 We're still using legacy box.
01:18:15.840 We have a lot to copy.
01:18:17.780 Kick off the new year by rescuing your family's most cherished memories.
01:18:22.800 Visit legacybox.com slash Beck.
01:18:25.580 Take advantage of the exclusive offer now.
01:18:28.040 That's legacybox.com slash Beck.
01:18:31.440 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:18:53.140 Welcome.
01:18:54.300 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
01:18:55.880 888-727-BECK.
01:18:58.620 Hey, in San Francisco, they have decided, they put together a committee, a reparations committee
01:19:07.800 to go out and study the reparations situation and decide how much blacks in San Francisco
01:19:16.400 are going to be paid by the city.
01:19:19.540 And the committee proposed a plan to city officials that would pay long-time black residents of San Francisco
01:19:28.680 $5 million each.
01:19:32.280 Oh.
01:19:33.100 Each.
01:19:34.200 $5 million.
01:19:35.540 $5 million each.
01:19:39.260 This is sustainable.
01:19:40.320 Our society is sustainable.
01:19:41.540 Of course it is.
01:19:42.040 Absolutely.
01:19:42.420 This has to be done, Stu, to make amends.
01:19:46.140 I mean, centuries of harm and destruction of black lives, black bodies, and black communities
01:19:50.180 should be met with centuries of repair.
01:19:53.380 Are you as creeped out as I am as the fact that they keep using this term black bodies?
01:19:57.820 Yeah, it's weird.
01:19:58.800 What a weird thing to say.
01:20:00.580 Yeah, very.
01:20:01.200 What are you talking about?
01:20:02.760 Black bodies?
01:20:03.440 You're talking about people?
01:20:04.660 Is that what you're talking about?
01:20:05.460 What do you mean black bodies?
01:20:07.260 Bizarre.
01:20:07.400 Are you only talking to the torso?
01:20:08.760 What is the, what is happening with that?
01:20:10.880 They keep doing that.
01:20:12.040 I don't know.
01:20:12.540 I don't know.
01:20:13.260 There's always some reason.
01:20:14.380 There's always some weird woke reason as to why this terminology exists.
01:20:17.960 That's another one.
01:20:18.820 Yeah.
01:20:19.100 These things keep popping up.
01:20:20.220 I don't get it.
01:20:21.200 They estimate that the black residents who will receive that $5 million are about 5.7%
01:20:27.380 of the city's population because you have to meet certain criteria.
01:20:33.380 Let's see.
01:20:35.940 Okay.
01:20:36.380 Now, and keep in mind, this is even though California was not a slave state and San Francisco
01:20:42.200 was not a slave city.
01:20:43.700 Nobody in California or San Francisco had slaves.
01:20:48.960 So.
01:20:51.160 That's a great point.
01:20:52.960 Interesting.
01:20:53.740 Of course, you can never trace back.
01:20:55.540 No.
01:20:55.900 I mean, it's really difficult.
01:20:57.200 And who has to pay for this?
01:20:59.020 Right.
01:20:59.280 All the residents of San Francisco, are you going to be taxed?
01:21:03.000 How much would you have to raise taxes to come up with the $569 billion, over half a
01:21:08.520 trillion dollars?
01:21:10.440 For just one city.
01:21:11.340 For one city.
01:21:12.160 In this idiotic program.
01:21:13.480 One city.
01:21:14.140 Mm-hmm.
01:21:14.380 But it does, it does bring up an interesting point that I have long identified as a son
01:21:24.440 of a black sharecropper in San Francisco.
01:21:27.140 You have?
01:21:27.540 Yes.
01:21:28.220 Long time.
01:21:28.700 I've never heard you mention.
01:21:29.760 You have to be a resident, I guess, of San Francisco for 13 years.
01:21:33.120 And of course, I've lived there for 15.
01:21:34.820 Well, you identify.
01:21:36.060 I identify as if I had lived there as a black resident for 15 years.
01:21:40.100 But you've moved several times in that 15 years.
01:21:42.020 I have.
01:21:42.320 And you've never moved to San Francisco.
01:21:43.460 Why wouldn't you?
01:21:44.160 No, but I identify that I was in San Francisco the whole time.
01:21:48.140 So.
01:21:49.040 So you deserve this money.
01:21:50.200 I deserve this money.
01:21:51.240 Mm-hmm.
01:21:51.700 I really do.
01:21:52.700 I really deserve.
01:21:53.820 I mean, just, again, I don't mean to be offensive here, but you don't look like the son of a
01:21:59.460 black.
01:21:59.840 Oh, wow.
01:22:00.620 Oh, wow.
01:22:00.880 Sharecropper.
01:22:01.720 Wow.
01:22:02.580 From San Francisco.
01:22:03.400 Because of the pigment of my skin.
01:22:05.280 Yeah, that's kind of the defining characteristic we're talking about now.
01:22:09.360 Wow.
01:22:09.380 Okay, Mr. Bigot.
01:22:10.280 So if you're a white.
01:22:11.720 Okay, Mr. Hater.
01:22:13.460 If you're a white son of a sharecropper.
01:22:16.240 Right.
01:22:16.840 From San Francisco, which doesn't exist either.
01:22:19.680 Would you also get the $5 million?
01:22:21.280 No.
01:22:21.780 Well, it depends on how you identify, I guess.
01:22:23.880 What if you're a black person who identifies as white?
01:22:25.700 Do you get the money?
01:22:26.300 No.
01:22:26.720 No.
01:22:27.100 No.
01:22:28.320 Because you're a white person.
01:22:29.700 If you identify as white, you are white.
01:22:32.520 Am I right?
01:22:33.680 That's the only criteria.
01:22:34.720 Okay.
01:22:34.920 How do you feel in your head?
01:22:36.920 That's what determines all this.
01:22:38.680 Hey, I don't think that's true.
01:22:40.720 You're not fully on board with that?
01:22:42.400 Huh.
01:22:42.840 That's weird.
01:22:43.580 It's a weird thing.
01:22:44.300 You're kind of a bigot.
01:22:45.400 I have these weird things that they're called eyes.
01:22:49.080 Oh.
01:22:49.580 Eyes, yeah.
01:22:50.180 And they look at things and they just, they can observe color.
01:22:53.300 Can you see inside my head?
01:22:54.400 The head program.
01:22:55.200 No.
01:22:55.300 No.
01:22:55.440 No.
01:22:55.480 We got no room to compromise.
01:23:16.040 We got to stand together, it's the course of life.
01:23:22.080 Stand up, stand up, hold the line.
01:23:24.860 It's a new day I'm trying to raise.
01:23:32.900 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:40.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:23:46.180 It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn today.
01:23:48.960 Hopefully he'll be back tomorrow.
01:23:50.380 You know, all the woke stuff that's hit our country has affected us in so many different
01:23:55.840 ways and, you know, we've learned a lot of lessons from that and we thought we could
01:23:59.480 give you a bit of an education today because if you're looking to make the perfect woke
01:24:04.460 apology, we have just witnessed it and we want to walk you through the steps.
01:24:10.040 How do you apologize in the new woke America?
01:24:12.840 We'll get into that coming up.
01:24:17.520 So if you had a nickel for every time you put your personal information out there on
01:24:21.240 the internet without it being secure, how many nickels would you have?
01:24:25.960 I'm guessing quite a few.
01:24:28.280 It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affect our lives.

01:25:28.320 It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn.
01:25:32.780 Pat, have you ever heard of the guy Andrew Callahan?
01:25:35.220 Ever hear that name?
01:25:36.040 I don't think so.
01:25:36.920 He is a YouTuber, sort of a comedian in a way.
01:25:42.500 He's known for his videos where he goes out into the middle of these kind of crazy situations
01:25:46.840 and interviews people.
01:25:49.960 And he's one of these guys that doesn't really say a lot in the videos.
01:25:52.600 It's more of like him finding the crazy person, saying the crazy thing and kind of letting
01:25:56.760 them, encouraging them to keep talking.
01:25:59.020 Okay.
01:26:00.020 And as you might imagine, a lot of his targets are on the right.
01:26:05.460 Like, you know, he'll go to a QAnon rally, right, and find the crazy person, the craziest
01:26:09.500 person there and kind of let them talk.
01:26:12.640 And I don't know.
01:26:13.820 Because QAnon is so prevalent.
01:26:15.720 Right.
01:26:16.220 In our society today.
01:26:17.400 Oh, yeah.
01:26:17.860 I don't go a day without running into 15 or 20 QAnon members.
01:26:21.780 Right.
01:26:22.060 Do you?
01:26:22.440 No.
01:26:22.720 Oh, gosh, no.
01:26:23.780 I mean, especially when I'm at the meetings.
01:26:25.560 Everywhere.
01:26:25.960 Yeah, right.
01:26:26.200 When I'm hanging out and I'm learning about these Q drops.
01:26:28.920 Yeah, yeah.
01:26:29.380 That's when I know.
01:26:30.740 But, you know, this was something he kind of rose to prominence doing.
01:26:35.560 And he recently had, for the first time, sort of a crossover to more mainstream media
01:26:41.420 where he had an HBO documentary that revolved around January 6th, where he was interviewing
01:26:47.360 a lot of the people who were at the January 6th thing in the months leading up to it, not
01:26:51.600 knowing, of course, January 6th was going to occur.
01:26:53.820 But, like, talking to people in QAnon and talking to Alex Jones and talking to all these
01:26:57.980 people on that side of the argument.
01:27:01.440 And in the months leading up, when you had the sort of election stuff going on, he was
01:27:05.100 talking to those people.
01:27:06.220 They made an HBO documentary out of it.
01:27:08.520 So that's sort of his backstory.
01:27:10.360 Let me give you a little taste as to the type of stuff he's known for.
01:27:14.460 This is a clip, I think, from the documentary itself, talking to some QAnon lady.
01:27:18.860 I've kind of been searching for the truth my whole life.
01:27:21.820 And one time I just came across a video that was about Biden and Kamala Harris and Clinton
01:27:29.900 and Obama.
01:27:31.520 They are Satan worshippers.
01:27:32.980 Satanists.
01:27:34.000 They're Satan worshippers.
01:27:35.740 100%.
01:27:36.260 And I couldn't wait to tell my family.
01:27:39.140 And they just go.
01:27:41.000 They just said, you're crazy.
01:27:42.480 Trump's the worst.
01:27:44.420 How does that make you feel?
01:27:45.620 Sad.
01:27:46.020 I cry all the time.
01:27:50.880 But I just keep praying.
01:27:52.500 That's all I do.
01:27:53.160 I just keep praying and asking God to open their eyes.
01:27:56.220 Now, like, look, is this the most fact-based analysis you're ever going to hear?
01:28:02.160 Maybe not.
01:28:03.160 However, like, it's obviously a sincere held belief.
01:28:05.940 Yeah.
01:28:06.240 And like, you know, she's really seemingly struggling with losing her family.
01:28:09.860 I don't know.
01:28:10.100 Is that an exploitation?
01:28:12.320 A little bit.
01:28:13.240 A little bit.
01:28:13.880 Mm-hmm.
01:28:14.200 But, you know, it's a lot of the other stuff he has.
01:28:16.600 It's just like drunk people saying crazy things about their lives and blah, blah, blah.
01:28:20.040 So that's what this guy is.
01:28:21.140 The reason I bring him up is because as soon as this documentary came out and he had this
01:28:26.000 sort of mainstream crossover success, he's celebrating this, you know, big release.
01:28:31.360 And within a couple of days, the Me Too allegations start popping out.
01:28:35.100 Oh, boy.
01:28:36.160 A lot of women come out and say, wait a minute, I was treated badly by this guy.
01:28:39.640 He forced me to do things I didn't want to do.
01:28:41.900 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:28:43.140 You know, it's a story.
01:28:45.120 Was it 40 years ago?
01:28:46.280 No.
01:28:46.780 He's only 25 years old.
01:28:48.260 Oh, okay.
01:28:48.420 So it wasn't 40.
01:28:49.340 Yeah.
01:28:49.520 It would be difficult for him to go back that far.
01:28:51.340 Yeah.
01:28:51.700 And so initially, he doesn't really say anything.
01:28:55.180 The other day, he comes out with an apology video.
01:28:58.200 Now, I watched this apology video.
01:29:00.700 So is he admitting to the sexual harassment or whatever?
01:29:03.980 This is what we're going to get into here.
01:29:04.960 Okay.
01:29:05.280 Okay.
01:29:05.680 So this is the apology video.
01:29:07.280 And I thought this was an interesting way for people to learn about the eight steps in
01:29:11.600 an effective woke apology.
01:29:13.880 Because he hits all the notes.
01:29:15.820 This guy checks every box in this particular video.
01:29:19.000 So let's start it out with step number one.
01:29:22.360 All right.
01:29:22.740 I never thought I'd make a video like this, but I think there's an important conversation
01:29:27.580 to be had.
01:29:28.300 And I just want to be fully accountable, honest, and transparent with all of you guys.
01:29:32.660 Okay.
01:29:33.000 So step one, Pat, is you got to hit the buzzwords.
01:29:35.780 Okay.
01:29:35.960 Like accountable.
01:29:36.920 Accountable.
01:29:37.120 Like transparency.
01:29:39.240 Yeah.
01:29:39.520 You got to say, remember the words that test well.
01:29:43.200 Transparency tests well.
01:29:44.520 And I bet the University of Pittsburgh is really happy he's wearing their paraphernalia as he's
01:29:50.280 making these apologies.
01:29:51.220 I bet they love that.
01:29:52.720 I didn't notice that.
01:29:56.400 You want to make sure that whenever there's a terrible crime, you got your logoed wear
01:30:01.800 on whoever that is.
01:30:02.940 You got your pitch sweatshirt on so that everybody knows.
01:30:05.620 All right.
01:30:06.220 All right.
01:30:06.480 Here's step number two and the best way to make a woke apology.
01:30:09.220 So I'd like to start by thanking every single person who's came out in the past week.
01:30:14.680 Thank you.
01:30:15.180 Interesting.
01:30:15.720 To speak about different ways in which my behavior has made them feel uncomfortable or
01:30:20.120 pressured during a sexual situation.
01:30:22.260 Uh-oh.
01:30:22.440 And to people who said that I've made unwanted advances and I had a hard time with rejection.
01:30:28.120 I'm sure this was not easy to do.
01:30:29.820 It's never easy to speak out.
01:30:31.160 And it was hard for me to hear as well because to be honest with you, up until this point,
01:30:34.960 I didn't even really realize that I had this pattern that had affected multiple people.
01:30:39.660 So this is step number two, Pat.
01:30:41.660 You compliment the bravery of the people accusing you of sexual assault.
01:30:46.540 Right.
01:30:46.980 It's always important to note that they're incredibly brave and you should give them a
01:30:50.700 lot of credit for accusing you of this terrible thing that you're not exactly admitting you
01:30:56.100 did.
01:30:57.440 Well, he didn't even know he did it.
01:30:58.920 He didn't even know he did it.
01:30:59.740 He didn't know.
01:31:00.340 Right.
01:31:00.540 But it's brave for people to tell him about the thing he didn't know that he did.
01:31:04.060 Yeah.
01:31:04.620 Okay.
01:31:05.100 Okay.
01:31:05.340 So that's step number two.
01:31:06.340 Compliment the bravery of the people accusing you of sexual assault.
01:31:09.160 And thank them.
01:31:10.080 He actually thanked them for coming out against him.
01:31:13.160 Thank you.
01:31:13.820 Thank you for accusing me of sexual assault.
01:31:16.080 That was really cool.
01:31:17.260 I had no idea.
01:31:18.380 No idea.
01:31:18.940 But thank you for letting me know.
01:31:20.580 All right.
01:31:20.860 Here's step three.
01:31:22.480 I'd also like to apologize for my silence.
01:31:25.080 I think that when this stuff first came out, I was in a state of denial and shock.
01:31:31.260 I was, you know, just riding the high for my movie that just came out.
01:31:35.160 And then within 48 hours, I was denounced by my closest collaborators.
01:31:39.160 And my name was printed in 40 different news outlets next to the words sexual misconduct.
01:31:46.460 I just kind of spiraled into a mental health crisis.
01:31:49.000 Oh, no.
01:31:49.540 I'm okay now, but I don't really think this is about me.
01:31:52.880 No, it's not about you.
01:31:54.100 It's not about you.
01:31:55.020 Well, except that you're a criminal.
01:31:56.460 Well, it is about that.
01:31:57.220 It is kind of about you.
01:31:57.860 The accusations are against you.
01:31:59.780 So, it is about you in that way.
01:32:01.800 But this is step number three, Pat.
01:32:03.740 Cultivate sympathy.
01:32:05.820 Oh.
01:32:06.280 You see, he was coming off the high of his big movie and everything was going right.
01:32:10.920 Right.
01:32:11.300 And then he spiraled into a mental health crisis.
01:32:15.000 It was a crisis of mental health.
01:32:16.920 This has only happened over a couple of weeks, so it's a very short-lived crisis in this particular case.
01:32:21.440 But it would be a crisis nonetheless when you find out that you're a sexual predator.
01:32:29.800 Imagine being hit with that bulletin one day.
01:32:31.720 You're just like, hey, by the way, did you know you're a sexual predator?
01:32:34.460 I didn't.
01:32:35.100 That's sad.
01:32:36.380 But thank you.
01:32:36.900 Thank you.
01:32:37.680 Thank you for telling me.
01:32:39.040 Okay.
01:32:39.420 So, you've used the word transparency.
01:32:42.600 You have complimented and thanked the women for accusing you.
01:32:46.400 Yes, I have.
01:32:47.160 And now you have cultivated sympathy.
01:32:49.380 What do you do next?
01:32:50.460 Here's step four.
01:32:51.820 I really want to do better and be fully accountable for everything that I've done.
01:32:55.720 Accountable.
01:32:55.860 So, that being said, I want to make a few things clear.
01:32:58.440 All right.
01:32:58.980 I've always taken no for an answer.
01:33:01.800 As far as consent, I've never overstepped that line.
01:33:06.640 But, you know, I think I want to have a more nuanced and important conversation about power dynamics, pressure.
01:33:12.040 Oh, boy.
01:33:12.500 Yeah, power dynamics.
01:33:13.500 Coercion.
01:33:13.800 And coercion.
01:33:14.620 Coercion and power dynamics.
01:33:16.100 Right.
01:33:16.280 Those are important elements.
01:33:17.900 Now, this is an interesting, it's a nuanced step here.
01:33:20.460 Step four in this process.
01:33:22.380 Which is, you rule out the worst, but also show understanding.
01:33:27.480 Okay.
01:33:27.620 So, he is saying here, he never had a situation where a woman said, no, don't have sex with me, and he had sex with them.
01:33:34.620 He never had a situation where they said no, and he did it anyway.
01:33:38.400 Okay.
01:33:39.080 Yeah.
01:33:39.280 He wants you to know where your mind is going.
01:33:43.080 Uh-huh.
01:33:43.360 He didn't do it.
01:33:43.900 He didn't do that.
01:33:44.760 Okay.
01:33:45.040 But, he wants to have an important conversation about power structures and coercion.
01:33:49.900 And I'm fascinated by this whole thing, because, you know, there's this idea, you know, Pat, basically what he's saying here is, I was a famous YouTuber.
01:33:57.460 How could they say no?
01:33:58.880 They couldn't say no.
01:34:00.160 They couldn't say, they couldn't not have sex with me.
01:34:03.060 Well, the power structure is too uneven.
01:34:04.800 The power structure is too uneven.
01:34:06.380 They're incapable of this.
01:34:08.660 A woman can't say no to a YouTuber.
01:34:11.760 You know how many followers I have?
01:34:13.620 How could a woman ever say no to me?
01:34:16.740 I have lots and lots of people who watch me on their phone.
01:34:21.100 Okay.
01:34:21.500 Yeah.
01:34:21.920 This is a weird thing to say, and progressives do this all the time.
01:34:26.180 It reminds me of the progressive argument on voter ID, where they say, you know, look, we have to protect black people.
01:34:33.240 They can't get driver's licenses.
01:34:35.420 How could we possibly say, how could a black person ever get a driver's license?
01:34:40.120 And it's like, that is incredibly racist.
01:34:43.600 Insulting and racist.
01:34:44.520 Right?
01:34:44.940 The same thing here.
01:34:46.220 Look, the argument essentially being made by this power structure thing that they keep bringing up is, if someone is, if a man is famous, a woman can't say no.
01:34:57.500 We have to protect the woman.
01:34:58.720 She can't make a decision for herself.
01:35:01.220 She can't just tell the guy, hey, back off.
01:35:04.980 Stop.
01:35:05.620 Right.
01:35:05.960 Right?
01:35:06.140 Now, if she says stop and you cross the line anyway, you've just committed a crime.
01:35:11.480 Right?
01:35:11.600 Like, so we have plenty of systems set up to deal with that type of behavior.
01:35:14.800 This behavior is, and what I saw from the accusers' statements seem to be consistent with this, in that, like, none of them said they said no.
01:35:25.380 They were just like, well, I was uncomfortable.
01:35:27.800 And, you know, he was persistent.
01:35:31.540 And I, you know, so I didn't, you know, and so, and then the power structure, it's like, look.
01:35:36.400 My gosh.
01:35:37.440 You know, it's difficult.
01:35:39.420 So none of them do claim to have said no?
01:35:42.080 I think some of them say that.
01:35:43.800 But some of them don't.
01:35:45.280 How many are there?
01:35:46.520 Do we know?
01:35:47.360 I know there's several.
01:35:48.760 I don't know what the total number is.
01:35:50.680 As these things tend to go, and you get the first accuser, and then all of a sudden you get a bunch of other accusers, and you don't know where the line is from people who are making statements that are real about a real event or aren't.
01:36:01.720 You know, again, it sort of spirals out of control eventually here.
01:36:04.420 Yeah.
01:36:04.620 But it's important to understand that you got to say, like, all right, like, I'm not a rapist.
01:36:09.080 I'll rule out the worst accusations here, but I want to understand how they feel.
01:36:14.480 All right.
01:36:14.680 Let's go on to step five.
01:36:16.680 I think for a long time, I was behaving in a way that I actually thought was normal.
01:36:23.280 I thought that, you know, going home from the bar alone made you a loser.
01:36:28.040 I thought that persistence was a form of flattery.
01:36:30.720 And I thought that, you know, if at first somebody was reluctant, you know, they're playing hard to get, just try harder.
01:36:35.860 And if you think someone's feeling you, you know, make a physical advance and see if they go with it.
01:36:42.000 So this is step five here, Pat.
01:36:43.720 Make your transparency as vague as possible.
01:36:47.220 Now, you're being transparent, but you need to be vague about that transparency.
01:36:52.680 You can't actually say what happened.
01:36:54.420 You kind of just give these, like, random scenarios.
01:36:57.640 And, like, you know, I love that.
01:36:59.620 I don't know.
01:36:59.960 I was being persistent.
01:37:00.960 Well, what does that mean?
01:37:01.720 Like, go back to Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life.
01:37:05.200 He's walking out.
01:37:06.300 He's in his football uniform.
01:37:07.320 He's walking with a girl, right?
01:37:08.780 That's persistent, right?
01:37:10.780 Yeah.
01:37:11.300 I guess you could also describe Jeffrey Dahmer as persistent.
01:37:14.280 Where in that spectrum are you?
01:37:16.580 Like, which one of those?
01:37:17.920 I mean, Jeffrey Dahmer was really persistent.
01:37:20.380 That sort of persistence is a real problem.
01:37:23.040 The Jimmy Stewart kind, maybe not quite as bad.
01:37:25.500 So where in that, we don't know.
01:37:28.300 We are on step five of the eight steps of the perfect woke apology.
01:37:32.980 We're going to take a quick break.
01:37:33.720 We'll be back with the other three steps here in just a moment.
01:37:37.480 So David Neuhauser, he's the chief investment officer for Livermore Partners.
01:37:41.940 He said this week, you start to look around and think, where's the safest place for your
01:37:46.240 investment in terms of assets?
01:37:48.320 The only place really to go as an alternative now is gold in terms of knowing that you're
01:37:54.320 not going to see the debasement of your assets.
01:37:57.500 Honestly, can you trust land, even farmland?
01:38:02.560 I mean, is that going to go up?
01:38:04.560 Is it going to lose value?
01:38:06.660 Your house?
01:38:07.640 Because everything is so unstable right now, you have to look for something that thrives
01:38:15.300 when instability is around.
01:38:17.540 This week, Goldline has two specials at goldline.com.
01:38:22.120 First, Goldline is offering 6% in free promotional medals with every qualified self-directed IRA
01:38:28.960 acquisition that you would complete this month.
01:38:32.240 So if you do it, complete it this month, you get 6% of additional assets in to your self-directed
01:38:39.820 IRA.
01:38:40.280 Did you know you can put gold in a retirement account, like a traditional IRA or an old 401k,
01:38:47.240 Roth, all of this.
01:38:49.560 Second, with the purchase of every gold legal tender bar, you will also receive at no additional
01:38:55.000 cost 25 silver Mind Your Business bars for free.
01:39:00.440 That's 866-GOLD-LINE.
01:39:02.360 That's where you call and talk to somebody right now.
01:39:05.560 They're waiting for your call.
01:39:06.600 Just ask them for information, 866-GOLD-LINE or goldline.com.
01:39:12.700 10 seconds, station ID.
01:39:24.300 Okay, we're doing the eight steps on the perfect woke apology.
01:39:26.760 Step one, remember the word transparency tests well.
01:39:30.080 Step two, compliment the bravery of the people accusing you of sexual assault.
01:39:33.700 So brave.
01:39:34.160 Step three, cultivate sympathy.
01:39:36.600 Step four, are they brave if you're not guilty of anything?
01:39:39.740 That's a great question.
01:39:41.140 Step four, rule out the worst, but show understanding.
01:39:44.720 Okay.
01:39:45.000 Step five, make your transparency as vague as possible.
01:39:48.720 All right, we're up to step six and here's Andrew Callahan, the YouTuber, demonstrating
01:39:52.940 it for us.
01:39:53.940 I think that especially I realized when so many young people, especially young men, rushed
01:39:58.000 to defend me when this stuff first started coming out, that this type of sex pest behavior
01:40:02.840 is normalized.
01:40:04.020 And a lot of people think this stuff is normal when I don't think that it is.
01:40:07.520 And I think that I want to be fully responsible for not having a fluid understanding of consent.
01:40:13.680 Man, he hits all the buzzwords.
01:40:15.640 That's just like a fluid understanding of consent.
01:40:19.180 What a great freaking phrase that is.
01:40:21.920 Oh, God.
01:40:23.020 This is crazy.
01:40:24.060 This is I think this is most the most despicable step in here.
01:40:28.380 This is step six.
01:40:29.940 Redirect anger to your own supporters.
01:40:32.380 Right.
01:40:32.920 Right.
01:40:33.180 Like what he does here is he says, I have a bunch.
01:40:35.560 My entire career was built on young males watching YouTube.
01:40:39.000 And those people, when they heard these accusations, came out and defended me.
01:40:42.480 Now, is that justified?
01:40:43.780 Maybe not.
01:40:45.060 But like to vilify your own supporters, to redirect the anger from everyone else said,
01:40:50.300 you know who the real problem are?
01:40:51.280 The people who watch my YouTube videos and they were out there defending me.
01:40:53.620 And that's a real that's the real problem.
01:40:55.160 Is it in America?
01:40:55.920 Please look at them over there.
01:40:57.060 All the people that built my career and made me all this money.
01:40:59.780 They're the problem, not me.
01:41:01.760 I hate that part of this.
01:41:03.340 Yeah.
01:41:03.620 And it's like, again, maybe they're misled.
01:41:05.500 Maybe they shouldn't be defending you.
01:41:07.660 But like they're trying to be on your side when they think you've been wrongly accused.
01:41:11.340 And now you're vilifying them in your apology.
01:41:14.440 Ugh.
01:41:15.080 Incredible.
01:41:15.600 I hate that.
01:41:16.180 All right.
01:41:16.460 Step seven.
01:41:18.060 That being said, a lot of the things that have been said online about me are not true.
01:41:22.700 A lot of things are missing really important contextual information that I think would change
01:41:27.160 people's interpretation of a lot of these situations.
01:41:29.360 But I'm not here to invalidate anybody's lived experience.
01:41:33.480 If you feel pressured.
01:41:34.580 Anybody's lived experience.
01:41:35.700 That's just what it is.
01:41:36.680 So this is step seven.
01:41:38.100 Keep your denials vague and use the term lived experience.
01:41:41.700 Lived experience.
01:41:42.100 Because you got to do that in any woke apology.
01:41:44.440 And I'm sorry.
01:41:45.140 Like, first of all, he's like, a lot of the stuff's being said about me isn't true.
01:41:49.260 Well, he doesn't say what that is.
01:41:50.320 So you just assume whatever you want.
01:41:52.240 But secondarily, like, I'm sorry.
01:41:55.300 If you did these things, then you've committed crimes.
01:41:58.340 If you didn't do these things, then their lived experience does not matter.
01:42:02.480 Their lived experience is a lie.
01:42:03.860 Right?
01:42:04.540 If they think something happened that didn't happen, then you should denounce their lived
01:42:11.560 experience.
01:42:12.440 Because they're lying about their lived experience.
01:42:15.040 Or their lived experience is actually what happened.
01:42:19.080 In which case, you should be in jail.
01:42:20.820 Right.
01:42:21.940 Just this lived experience thing.
01:42:23.780 I'm sorry.
01:42:24.380 Events occur or they don't occur.
01:42:26.640 Everyone doesn't have their own truth.
01:42:28.340 You don't have their own lived experience.
01:42:30.000 Thank you.
01:42:30.360 There's just truth.
01:42:31.680 And there's just an actual experience of what occurred.
01:42:34.020 There's not my truth and your truth?
01:42:35.420 No.
01:42:35.980 Huh.
01:42:36.480 That's not how this works.
01:42:37.900 Weird.
01:42:38.460 All right.
01:42:38.840 The final step here.
01:42:40.000 Okay.
01:42:40.340 Of course.
01:42:40.740 And this one's a classic, Pat.
01:42:41.860 This one goes back many, many years.
01:42:43.220 But it fits perfectly in the Woke Apology.
01:42:45.380 Step eight in the perfect Woke Apology video.
01:42:48.960 I'm 25 years old and I have my whole life ahead of me.
01:42:52.380 But I really think that I need to do some serious work on myself and figure myself out.
01:42:57.940 So I'm going to start therapy sessions pretty much immediately.
01:43:00.820 Oh, wow.
01:43:01.560 Pretty much.
01:43:01.700 Also, not to blame alcohol, but I truly believe that alcohol was a contributing factor to my
01:43:07.080 poor decision making.
01:43:08.600 And I think that alcohol in general has had a devastating impact on my life.
01:43:12.320 Usually he's drunk.
01:43:13.480 I think I'm going to make the decision to join the 12-step program for Alcoholics Anonymous.
01:43:18.340 You think you are.
01:43:19.040 And during this journey into sobriety, I want to take a serious step back from public life.
01:43:24.360 And like I said, figure myself out.
01:43:26.420 There you go.
01:43:27.580 Step eight, of course, announce rehab and then wait it out.
01:43:32.360 Because eventually-
01:43:33.080 Rehab and therapy.
01:43:33.740 Rehab therapy, wait it out.
01:43:35.560 Uh-huh.
01:43:36.020 Eventually hope that people forget enough to let you have your job back.
01:43:40.000 Yep.
01:43:40.200 Now, the thing about this I think that is crucial, and I, you know, again, this is an incredibly
01:43:45.620 well-executed woke hostage video, right?
01:43:49.960 Yeah.
01:43:50.400 And I'd like to believe, right, that maybe this is sincere.
01:43:53.860 Maybe this guy's having an awakening after all this.
01:43:56.060 I hope it's true.
01:43:57.260 But like the one thing you need to understand about these types of approaches, no matter how
01:44:01.500 many times you say lived experience and transparency, it doesn't work.
01:44:05.180 Because the woke mob does not care about you.
01:44:08.420 Right.
01:44:08.560 They don't care about whether you're apologizing.
01:44:10.940 They care about your scalp.
01:44:12.840 Yes.
01:44:12.940 So they will come and come and come and take everything from you.
01:44:15.980 They don't care about whether you're making your life a little bit better.
01:44:19.260 That's for sure.
01:44:20.400 Yep.
01:44:21.260 They're not interested in whether you're getting therapy or not.
01:44:23.840 No.
01:44:23.980 They don't care.
01:44:24.760 Nope.
01:44:25.060 It's not what it's about.
01:44:25.880 It's about-
01:44:26.120 They just don't want you to make a living anymore.
01:44:28.000 Yep.
01:44:28.160 And I don't know.
01:44:29.420 Look, if he did these things, maybe he doesn't deserve to.
01:44:31.400 But this isn't going to work, my friend.
01:44:33.780 In 10 years, you and I might be complaining that the bugs we're eating aren't grown in
01:44:41.580 the USA.
01:44:42.480 I mean, they're from Canada.
01:44:44.420 They're from a giant manufacturing plant in Canada.
01:44:49.100 In the meantime, let's say let's not import our meat.
01:44:54.100 We've got ranchers here.
01:44:56.120 We have cattle here.
01:44:58.500 We have fisheries here.
01:45:00.720 We have chickens here.
01:45:03.280 Why are we importing this?
01:45:05.540 Right now, I want to ask you to support your local rancher.
01:45:10.980 Please.
01:45:11.960 These guys work so hard.
01:45:14.740 And they're getting screwed everywhere they possibly can.
01:45:18.200 And they're losing their farms.
01:45:19.360 And guess who's buying it up?
01:45:20.880 Big corporations.
01:45:22.420 So let's support our ranchers.
01:45:24.080 Get your meat from Good Ranchers.
01:45:27.120 I want you to go to GoodRanchers.com.
01:45:29.800 You can order your meat, your chicken, your fish.
01:45:33.120 You can subscribe and get a year's worth of chicken for free when you subscribe to any

01:45:46.340 American meat delivered.
01:45:48.120 BlazeTV.com and YouTube tonight.
01:45:50.440 It's Stude's America into Glenn TV.
01:45:52.220 I'll be filling in what everyone is missing in Biden's classified document scandal.
01:45:55.900 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.
01:46:11.120 By the way, if you'd like to just forget your troubles for a minute and have a delicious cookie,
01:46:15.260 you can do that by going to kexycookie.com.
01:46:18.420 So we just came up with our January lineup, which is really one of my favorites of all
01:46:24.360 time because the hot chocolate cookie is back and the butterbeer cookie.
01:46:30.580 Now, I don't think you're not a big Harry Potter fan, so you've probably never tried that.
01:46:34.680 Now, I'm not a big Harry Potter fan.
01:46:36.800 We should mention this is the company.
01:46:38.800 These are your wife's recipes.
01:46:40.700 Yes.
01:46:41.160 These are incredible cookies.
01:46:42.260 And I had no, I don't know anything about Harry Potter.
01:46:45.040 I've never watched any of them and never will.
01:46:47.220 But I will say I have had the butterbeer cookie.
01:46:49.620 Oh, did you like it?
01:46:50.420 Incredible.
01:46:50.960 Oh, good.
01:46:51.440 Really good.
01:46:52.140 Good.
01:46:52.520 Really good.
01:46:53.340 The M&M cookie is back to it by popular demand.
01:46:56.220 A lot of people wanted that.
01:46:57.280 That's the one for me.
01:46:58.340 That was the one that set it off.
01:46:59.400 Oh, cool.
01:46:59.760 My love of your wife's cookies because you used to bring in the M&M chocolate chip things
01:47:03.620 or whatever, and they were incredible.
01:47:05.880 And that's the one that really set me off.
01:47:08.120 Keksi.com if you'd like to try them.
01:47:09.640 K-E-K-S-I.com.
01:47:11.980 So we were talking about this apology video from this woke YouTuber.
01:47:18.820 I guess he doesn't really say what he did.
01:47:23.160 No.
01:47:23.640 And I don't know if the girls have declared what exactly he did.
01:47:29.440 What I saw kind of fit the spectrum here, Pat, where you had some people saying basically
01:47:33.520 he hit on them when they didn't want him to hit on them.
01:47:38.200 But did they tell him, hey, I don't want you to hit on me?
01:47:41.540 Or did he start hitting on them?
01:47:43.140 And then if they didn't respond, he, what, tried again?
01:47:49.040 And so that was awful?
01:47:50.200 Or he said he was being persistent.
01:47:52.040 Yeah.
01:47:52.220 You can't be persistent.
01:47:53.460 Persistence is a crime.
01:47:54.460 What is okay in 2023 if you have interest in a member of the opposite sex, or I guess for
01:48:03.380 that matter, the same sex.
01:48:04.840 There you go.
01:48:05.160 Thank you, Pat.
01:48:05.680 Yeah.
01:48:05.960 You're welcome.
01:48:06.900 I want to be just as woke as everybody else.
01:48:09.620 Good.
01:48:09.900 Because that always works.
01:48:11.080 If you have any interest in somebody, you know, romantically, what can you do now?
01:48:17.580 Do you ever stop and think, Pat, thank God I don't have to deal with this climate.
01:48:22.460 Oh, yeah.
01:48:22.480 Oh, all the time.
01:48:23.500 Thank God I don't have to deal with trying to date.
01:48:25.680 All the time.
01:48:26.320 In this world.
01:48:27.260 Yeah.
01:48:28.280 Seriously.
01:48:29.400 Because what can you do?
01:48:30.740 What do you do?
01:48:31.400 You got to get permission in writing about everything, touching her hand.
01:48:36.240 If you want to hold her hand, is that an assault if you touch her hand?
01:48:41.660 I don't know.
01:48:42.520 I don't either.
01:48:43.340 I don't know.
01:48:43.840 I mean, it's funny because there is a dance that goes on between men and women, and I'll
01:48:48.500 speak from that perspective since that's what I'm familiar with.
01:48:51.100 But it's like, you know, like my first kiss with my wife, I did not ask her to sign
01:48:57.020 in triplicate on carbon paper that I had the permission to kiss her.
01:49:03.300 You didn't?
01:49:03.820 You know, what do you do, Pat?
01:49:05.440 You bastard.
01:49:06.200 In these moments, you sort of lean in.
01:49:07.660 Yeah.
01:49:08.000 And then if she leans in.
01:49:09.120 And then she kind of leans in.
01:49:10.400 Seems like it's okay.
01:49:11.340 And then you're like, I think she's okay with this.
01:49:12.940 And then maybe your lips touch.
01:49:14.440 And then maybe you say, you don't say, madam, might my lips join with yours?
01:49:19.620 That would ruin the moment.
01:49:21.060 That's not what happens.
01:49:22.400 Right?
01:49:22.800 And it's like, you know, and alternatively, you sort of lean in, she sort of turns her
01:49:28.900 head the other way, and you're like, oh, I'm an idiot.
01:49:31.200 And then you give up.
01:49:32.380 Right?
01:49:32.760 Yes.
01:49:33.220 That's how that dance works.
01:49:35.700 Exactly.
01:49:37.100 In my case, with my first kiss with my wife, she jumped me on the landing of her house,
01:49:45.040 of her parents' house.
01:49:45.880 Really?
01:49:46.040 I mean, we walked up the stairs, we're on the landing, I'm saying goodbye to her, and she
01:49:50.760 just assaulted me at that point.
01:49:53.000 Yeah.
01:49:53.600 Did you charge her?
01:49:54.700 She threw her arms around me and kissed me.
01:49:56.480 Oh, my gosh.
01:49:57.240 And I was so taken aback.
01:49:59.420 The power dynamic.
01:50:01.000 I mean...
01:50:01.440 She owns a cookie company.
01:50:02.240 She owns a cookie company.
01:50:03.660 Or would.
01:50:04.860 Eventually.
01:50:05.540 Eventually.
01:50:06.620 And I don't own a cookie.
01:50:08.140 Well, I do.
01:50:08.880 Eventually.
01:50:09.700 But eventually.
01:50:10.740 Mm-hmm.
01:50:12.300 So, I don't know.
01:50:13.700 Can you do...
01:50:14.260 Can you do that?
01:50:15.480 Can you be spontaneous like that?
01:50:17.740 I mean, she was trying to just, you know, it was the best thing that ever happened to
01:50:20.540 me, and she was just trying to eliminate the tension.
01:50:23.040 Yes.
01:50:23.500 And did.
01:50:24.060 Thank God.
01:50:24.520 And I think that's great.
01:50:25.660 But, I mean, you could be in jail for that today.
01:50:29.180 Yeah.
01:50:29.540 And, you know, I think the problem here, one of the big issues with this is there has to
01:50:35.500 be, you don't want to take away the magic of one of those moments, right?
01:50:38.560 No.
01:50:38.720 You want to be able to have them, but you can't do that if you're like, Madam, can I do X,
01:50:42.660 Y?
01:50:42.920 It's like, that's just...
01:50:43.520 I can't imagine.
01:50:44.500 No.
01:50:44.620 I can't imagine it.
01:50:45.440 Is it okay if I touch your hand?
01:50:48.280 Right.
01:50:49.120 And by the way, colleges, universities are telling their students precisely this.
01:50:55.040 You must ask for every single step of consent.
01:50:58.540 And if they say that you've done something problematic, in many cases, you will be held
01:51:07.200 to a trial, not a legal trial, but a trial on the campus, which you cannot be involved
01:51:12.420 in to defend yourself.
01:51:13.700 So, you don't even know what the accusations are in many cases.
01:51:17.900 People are getting thrown out of school.
01:51:19.180 Their lives are being ruined over this.
01:51:21.540 And look, it's important, obviously, to stop anyone who does cross these lines.
01:51:26.700 And I think most people have a good feel for where these lines are.
01:51:30.700 Maybe some don't.
01:51:32.280 But the way you solve that part of this is by the word no.
01:51:39.020 Yes!
01:51:39.460 That's how you solve it.
01:51:40.160 Thank you!
01:51:41.600 It's hard to read another person's mind.
01:51:44.840 I think most people do it pretty well.
01:51:47.020 And maybe you don't know they're uncomfortable when they're uncomfortable.
01:51:49.520 Maybe you don't, right?
01:51:50.620 And the way that's solved is by the person telling you no.
01:51:53.700 You know what?
01:51:54.080 I'm really uncomfortable.
01:51:55.220 Yep.
01:51:55.400 And if you...
01:51:56.440 It's not that hard.
01:51:57.040 If you advance past that point, then you start committing crimes.
01:52:01.180 Yeah, then it's a problem.
01:52:02.020 Right?
01:52:02.400 Mm-hmm.
01:52:02.840 If you do not...
01:52:03.880 And it's like, I don't know how anyone in this world can navigate this territory.
01:52:10.640 Because we are now at a point not where, okay, someone tells you no, and you keep going,
01:52:16.560 and you should be...
01:52:17.400 That is really a problem.
01:52:19.940 And everyone knows that's a problem.
01:52:21.140 And it shouldn't be allowed.
01:52:22.220 On the other side, like, we're now at a point where, you know, someone tries something, the
01:52:27.620 person does not express any level of being uncomfortable, of saying no, of anything.
01:52:38.260 Mm-hmm.
01:52:38.560 And the other person is supposed to read their mind and understand, apparently, that they're
01:52:44.220 not supposed to do X, Y, and Z.
01:52:46.400 And also, it's all retroactive.
01:52:50.840 Many of these people, in this case and in others, say things like, you know, I got home
01:52:55.620 and we did this thing, and then, you know, a couple days later, I was talking about it
01:52:59.240 with my friend, and I realized how uncomfortable I felt.
01:53:02.100 I was like, well, wait a minute.
01:53:02.860 Well, that's too late now.
01:53:03.920 That's too late.
01:53:04.400 Like, you're too late.
01:53:05.220 You need to express it at the time.
01:53:07.280 Yes.
01:53:07.680 We've all had bad situations, you know, bad situations where, like, afterward, you're like,
01:53:11.540 ugh, I kind of wish I didn't do that.
01:53:12.400 Or you regret it.
01:53:13.220 Gosh, ugh, that wasn't so great.
01:53:15.360 That is very common in the human experience.
01:53:17.400 In fact, you know, it's probably shown in every, you know, beer commercial you see during
01:53:23.020 sporting events, right?
01:53:24.160 Like, we all understand that, you know, in college, maybe you drink too much, maybe you
01:53:29.480 do something you're not supposed to do, you don't feel proud of later, maybe you feel
01:53:34.000 like, you know, you would have rather had a better experience with a more attractive
01:53:39.680 mate, and you're, yeah, gosh, you know, beer goggles is a thing we all know because it's
01:53:45.420 a thing, right?
01:53:47.400 You don't get to later on say, you know, that person took advantage of me because I had my
01:53:53.100 beer goggles on, right?
01:53:55.300 Like, these, it's unfair to hold people to mind-read.
01:53:59.800 Kreskin was impressive on television because he was supposedly has, you know, these extra
01:54:05.620 powers.
01:54:07.060 That was, we were all like, oh, wow, the guy can, you know, look, read envelopes and give
01:54:12.460 funny answers to them.
01:54:13.460 You know, this is the type of thing that is supposed to be the reason we have communication.
01:54:20.420 You're supposed to communicate these things.
01:54:22.360 And, and look, I can understand, like, you know, they talk about this power structure
01:54:26.280 thing all the time.
01:54:27.660 You know, they did this, one of the, it was one of the big accusations with Louis C.K.
01:54:31.680 You know, I know part of it with Matt Lauer.
01:54:34.040 And what kind of power did Louis C.K., what, what was his position of power?
01:54:38.740 Yeah.
01:54:38.900 He's a comedian.
01:54:40.060 Yeah.
01:54:40.240 That's what he is.
01:54:41.040 He was famous.
01:54:42.120 Okay.
01:54:42.580 So, he's powerful because he's famous?
01:54:44.900 You can't say no to a famous person?
01:54:46.800 You really could.
01:54:47.720 You could.
01:54:48.300 And people do, you know.
01:54:50.040 And especially since what he did happened on the phone some of the time.
01:54:53.380 Some of the time, yes, on the phone.
01:54:54.640 On the phone.
01:54:55.260 Hang up the phone.
01:54:56.200 Yeah.
01:54:57.080 Well, it's this portrayal as women as mindless groupies, right?
01:55:01.120 Yeah.
01:55:01.320 They can't go up to a guy like Andrew Callahan because he's got a bunch of YouTube followers.
01:55:05.460 They can't possibly say no.
01:55:06.920 Ridiculous.
01:55:07.240 They're mindless creatures who just, who are groupies and just go and find the famous person.
01:55:13.700 And when they find him, if that person says they want to have sex with him, well, they got to do it.
01:55:17.260 Gosh, gosh darn it.
01:55:18.580 It's like, that's just a sickening portrayal of women.
01:55:21.780 It is.
01:55:22.760 It is.
01:55:23.560 What kind, what are you saying about them?
01:55:25.460 And you know where the power structure doesn't come into play?
01:55:28.540 With Tara Reid.
01:55:30.520 Yeah, that doesn't matter.
01:55:31.320 A U.S. senator named Joe Biden.
01:55:34.780 There was no, nobody said anything about power structure there.
01:55:38.240 Nope.
01:55:38.460 In fact, they just ignored the whole accusation.
01:55:41.060 Despite Hillary Clinton saying women have to be believed.
01:55:44.840 Yeah.
01:55:44.960 I mean, nobody believed her.
01:55:46.320 Nope.
01:55:46.460 Nobody paid any attention to her.
01:55:48.100 Speaking of Clintons, Bill Clinton.
01:55:49.720 Bill Clinton too.
01:55:50.620 No one cared about that.
01:55:53.240 No one believed anything about that.
01:55:54.560 I mean, there's women who have accused him of rape, actual rape.
01:55:57.440 My gosh, yeah.
01:55:58.420 And are completely ignored.
01:56:00.100 Jeez.
01:56:01.060 So like, there is this bizarre double standard where if you take the pill that gives you
01:56:05.540 the D after your name, you are cured of all of these ills.
01:56:08.760 Mm-hmm.
01:56:09.560 That's a real problem in our society.
01:56:12.500 But, you know, it's also a real problem just to put women in the position where there are
01:56:17.380 these helpless, I don't know.
01:56:18.760 I mean, we know a lot of women.
01:56:21.100 I don't know anyone who would be like this.
01:56:23.280 Now, there's a line here when you're talking about, you know, an employer saying, basically,
01:56:30.080 you'll have sex with me or you'll lose this job.
01:56:32.900 And that line-
01:56:33.820 Oh, that's different.
01:56:34.640 Is a crime.
01:56:35.560 Mm-hmm.
01:56:35.920 Okay?
01:56:36.420 Quite clearly a crime.
01:56:38.160 But going even beyond that for a second here, Pat, I hope I teach my daughter well enough
01:56:44.240 to be able to look at a situation like that and value herself over the job.
01:56:49.880 Right.
01:56:50.100 This does not in any way justify what a terrible person, a man, you know, in a position of power,
01:56:56.060 threatening employment, you know, that would be no way of justifying that.
01:57:00.800 That is a crime and that person should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
01:57:04.280 But I would hope my daughter would say, hey, screw you.
01:57:10.660 I don't care.
01:57:11.160 I'm more important than this gig.
01:57:13.640 Yeah.
01:57:14.340 You know?
01:57:15.080 Yeah.
01:57:15.240 There's other gigs out there.
01:57:16.440 Yeah.
01:57:16.660 We act as if women are these people who are just completely incapable of expressing their own agency.
01:57:24.820 And that's not true.
01:57:26.300 It's the opposite of feminism.
01:57:28.840 It's the opposite of female empowerment.
01:57:30.920 You're taking all their power away and acting as if they're mindless robots that act on command
01:57:37.240 of all men who make more money than them.
01:57:39.820 What a despicable, despicable portrayal of women.
01:57:44.140 Yeah.
01:57:44.280 Really disgustingly insulting to women.
01:57:47.760 Crazy.
01:57:48.220 And the progressive left does it all the time.
01:57:51.620 All the time.
01:57:52.540 This is what they say.
01:57:53.840 They say, well, gosh, well, women, you know, they're in these roles where they just can't
01:57:57.540 say no.
01:57:58.420 Well, they can always say no.
01:57:59.640 They should always say no.
01:58:00.360 With the exception, of course, of someone trying to overpower them physically, which,
01:58:04.180 again, is quite clearly a crime.
01:58:06.140 Yeah.
01:58:06.540 You know, that has to be expressed and should be expressed.
01:58:09.620 And we should be encouraging women to express it.
01:58:12.280 We should not be encouraging women to say, like, oh, well, they can't say anything.
01:58:17.300 Maybe afterward I can decide I was uncomfortable and we can go back and all, you know, go after
01:58:23.240 these men later on.
01:58:24.480 What good does that do?
01:58:25.900 Other than make people on Twitter feel good, what does that do?
01:58:28.860 The events already occurred.
01:58:30.000 It's very much preferable, too, if you don't wait 40 years to say something about it.
01:58:34.280 Yeah.
01:58:34.420 Is that a fact?
01:58:35.400 To me, yeah.
01:58:37.020 Maybe it's going way out on a limb.
01:58:39.460 But I'm going to say, you know, speak up before it's been 40 years later.
01:58:44.260 Just a good safety tip.
01:58:46.560 Give it a try.
01:58:47.180 Well, that was like the Bill Cosby situation.
01:58:49.320 Yeah.
01:58:49.460 A lot of this happened.
01:58:50.520 And it's like Norm MacDonald said about that.
01:58:52.460 He said, someone said, you know, the biggest problem with the Bill Cosby thing was the hypocrisy.
01:58:56.600 And he said, you know, I disagree.
01:58:58.060 I think it's the rape.
01:59:00.960 Yeah.
01:59:01.540 You know, and I kind of agree.
01:59:02.680 All right.
01:59:03.040 Yeah.
01:59:03.880 All right.

02:00:48.520 I know Glenn, he's got some stuff going on and would appreciate your prayers at this
02:00:52.600 time.
02:00:52.860 You know, you may have noticed him talking about this from time to time.
02:00:55.700 He's had some struggles in his family over the past few months.
02:01:00.980 One thing after another, really.
02:01:02.640 It really is.
02:01:04.140 It's been tough.
02:01:05.740 And he's talked about a lot of it.
02:01:08.220 You know, some of it's obviously private, but you know, he, you know, Glenn, if anything,
02:01:13.240 Glenn Overshares.
02:01:14.500 Yeah.
02:01:14.820 Like, you know, I know more about Glenn's life than I know about my life.
02:01:17.920 I think a lot of us feel that way.
02:01:20.420 Which is, yeah, it's kind of the way it goes, but I know, you know, he has these moments
02:01:26.600 from time to time.
02:01:27.140 We appreciate your understanding on that.
02:01:28.880 And the thoughts and prayers would be, you know, very much appreciated.
02:01:31.960 For sure.
02:01:32.340 For he and his family.
02:01:34.980 So, 888-727-B-E-C-K.
02:01:38.480 By the way, you know, we're speaking of power dynamics and protecting women and how they
02:01:45.120 can be better protected.
02:01:46.340 Instead, you know what?
02:01:47.500 Our society is going the other direction with a lot of these things.
02:01:51.400 Like this California teenage girl.
02:01:53.660 She's 17 years old.
02:01:55.240 She said during a city council meeting that she was terrified at the sight of a naked man
02:02:00.180 in the women's locker room as she's trying to shower at a YMCA.
02:02:06.300 Okay.
02:02:06.840 So, she was shocked.
02:02:08.080 She went to the front desk after getting dressed and said, hey, there's a naked man in the
02:02:14.120 women's shower.
02:02:15.640 Yeah, he identifies as a woman.
02:02:18.400 So, wait.
02:02:20.460 Okay.
02:02:20.840 So, that's okay?
02:02:22.120 You don't have a problem that he's in the women's locker room?
02:02:26.220 We're just not protecting women.
02:02:27.760 They don't care how women feel about it.
02:02:29.780 Nope.
02:02:30.200 If the biological man identifies as a woman, he can go in there anytime he wants.
02:02:35.060 And there's no process of asking, right?
02:02:36.740 No, there's no process of looking into whether he's for real on the identifying thing.
02:02:42.460 Or is he just a pervert?
02:02:44.000 Because there's not even a...
02:02:45.060 Yeah, they don't even try to decipher.
02:02:46.580 Like, when he comes in, he doesn't say, hey, by the way, I identify as a woman.
02:02:50.000 I'm going to go in there just so you guys know.
02:02:51.480 I know it's a little bit of an odd situation.
02:02:52.900 Like, that doesn't happen.
02:02:54.040 No.
02:02:54.280 Just walks right in.
02:02:54.980 Yeah.
02:02:56.520 That's perfect.
02:02:57.380 We've got to stop that, too.
02:02:58.860 I mean, that's just crazy.
02:03:01.380 All right.
02:03:02.480 Maybe back tomorrow.
02:03:03.800 Or Glenn, maybe.
02:03:05.680 We'll have to see.
02:03:07.060 But in the meantime, have a great day.
02:03:08.240 We'll have to see.
02:03:12.600 We'll be in the meantime.
02:03:13.400 See you soon.
