Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:00:06.460
Glenn had a special last night that was a little bit chilling on big tech
00:00:11.080
and how big tech may be influencing the election in a big way.
00:00:20.600
You might wonder after what we show you pretty soon.
00:00:23.400
And Joe Biden and some interesting things that he had to say.
00:00:32.920
Nancy Pelosi, of course, the hypocrite that she is.
00:00:50.220
So, with all the craziness that we've been going through in 2020,
00:00:55.400
is it any surprise that even your kids going back to school is terrifying?
00:01:03.740
Whether they're doing school in person or from home,
00:01:05.960
your kids are on more electronic devices than any previous generation of kids ever has been.
00:01:11.320
And nearly all of those devices are capable of getting on the internet.
00:01:14.540
Your child's online safety could easily be compromised
00:01:17.440
and their information could be stolen at any time.
00:01:19.980

Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:29.340
I haven't heard this much on the news, but it looks like Dr. Fauci, your dad, Stu, is out now at the White House.
00:02:37.860
He and Dr. Birx are both out, at least according to this article that I have.
00:02:51.980
Did he say something about being with the White House?
00:02:55.740
Because supposedly he's Dr. Scott W. Atlas has replaced them.
00:03:04.860
There's a lot of talk about how there's a, I've heard a lot of stories over the past 24 hours about Atlas and the fact that he's got.
00:03:17.160
That was made very clear in all of the reporting that I heard about it.
00:03:21.820
But yeah, now he's been showing more influence.
00:03:26.940
You know, Trump brought him in as kind of like an alternative opinion.
00:03:32.380
Maybe they're not officially out, but apparently Scott Atlas is the one that President Trump's listening to now more.
00:03:39.120
That's the tone of the reporting that they're talking about today.
00:03:43.800
And, you know, he is, he's been more, you know, he's been more friendly to kind of the direction that Trump has wanted to go.
00:03:52.080
He said there's not really proof that that works.
00:03:56.360
Have you seen any solid evidence that it absolutely works to wear a mask?
00:04:00.700
I mean, there's definitely studies that indicate that.
00:04:02.940
There's one that came out yesterday that had, you know, seven different studies, you know, sort of summarized that say it helps.
00:04:08.620
Like, there's one study that I go back to often, which was on the USS Roosevelt.
00:04:15.900
And, you know, you think this is worst case scenario, right, for a virus.
00:04:26.800
And what they found was that in this sort of worst case scenario, the people who wore masks reduced their odds of getting it.
00:04:36.420
Odds of getting it from, I think it was something like 85% to 55%.
00:04:44.580
And it was the biggest difference that they could find in that scenario.
00:04:49.160
It was more than washing your hands over and over again.
00:04:51.440
That being said, it does not mean it goes away.
00:04:53.340
And I think that that's been one of the really bad things the media has done with this, is as they've decided this is some left-right partisan thing, whether you wear a mask or not.
00:05:14.580
Well, you're not going to save grandma by just wearing a mask.
00:05:17.300
Like, the idea of the mask combined with social distancing, combined with, you know, washing your hands, combined with not yelling and screaming at each other, particularly for people.
00:05:29.840
But, I mean, like, you're going to probably reduce your odds of getting it, which is great.
00:05:33.880
But that does not mean it's an end-all, you know, be-all of all disease prevention.
00:05:38.880
It's just become this thing that it's a supplement for saying you're a bad person, right?
00:05:44.560
You know, it's like, well, we want to call you a bad person, but we can't really just do that.
00:05:48.960
So, we'll just yell at you for not wearing a mask.
00:05:52.440
I mean, how many times have we seen this, Pat, in grocery stores and, you know, restaurants, where a person in a mask walks up to a person without a mask and screams in their face about not wearing a mask?
00:06:04.840
We just saw that at the D.C. rally with Black Lives Matter when they accosted that one person who wouldn't raise her hand.
00:06:11.380
She wouldn't raise her fist in, like, the Black Power salute.
00:06:20.820
Right in her face in the middle of the pandemic.
00:06:23.700
They just released a study, and they kind of gave a color-coded.
00:06:27.060
Did you see this color-coded thing they released, I don't know, last week?
00:06:30.720
Yeah, where it shows, like, you know, basically outdoors is better than indoors, wearing a mask better than not wearing a mask, social distancing better than not social distancing.
00:06:39.200
The other thing that's in there, though, is don't yell and scream, don't sing, don't chant, right?
00:06:48.400
Like, being outdoors at some level of distance is almost entirely safe unless you're doing the things that these protesters are doing.
00:07:05.520
In fact, you mentioned to Glenn, who was like, I'm going to come in tomorrow.
00:07:11.080
You know, everyone in my family has COVID, and I've got symptoms, but I've got to come in tomorrow.
00:07:19.720
I mean, look, the asymptomatic thing obviously complicates this.
00:07:27.280
It's a supplement for saying, I don't like Trump supporters.
00:07:30.740
Like, they've just made it into this thing where, like, if you were to say, I think honestly, look.
00:07:37.340
Some people obviously have issues with masks in some serious ways.
00:07:41.140
But generally speaking, you can wear a mask if you have to.
00:07:46.760
If you can't do it, well, you're going to have to find something else.
00:07:50.240
Because, frankly, a mask is not going to completely prevent the spread.
00:07:57.360
Like, we, I mean, maybe we would still want one so we didn't have to wear masks forever,
00:08:00.640
but we would be a lot less nervous about this spreading.
00:08:11.180
It's like, we have this totally backwards in our society right now, which is, if there's
00:08:16.280
a safety measure that you can take, okay, let's say it's masks.
00:08:19.800
Let's say it's washing your hands, whatever it is.
00:08:23.180
Right now, we look at this and it's like, the government is like, if there's any possibility
00:08:32.720
And then there's a lot of people who just look at this and say, well, unless you can completely
00:08:37.180
prove to me that it works perfectly, I'm not going to do it.
00:08:42.160
And it seems like the exact reverse should be the truth.
00:08:44.700
The government should only be mandating things if they're ever going to mandate something
00:08:48.420
if there's imperfect evidence that this is an effective thing.
00:08:52.860
And on the other side, us as citizens, like if there's a chance that it's helpful and it's
00:08:56.880
not that big of a deal, well, we want to take those steps, but you should be taking them
00:09:01.160
The government should not be forcing you to do those things.
00:09:03.420
And over and over and over again, that's the solution.
00:09:07.140
Because, of course, that's the solution for everything.
00:09:13.420
The only way you can solve a problem in this society, according to most people in the media,
00:09:20.660
Which is what, I mean, think of how bad they are in this point, Pat.
00:09:23.640
They have a president that they believe is a fascist and they're begging him to mandate
00:09:35.460
And I think the only way that you're supposed to handle this as an American is to be completely
00:09:44.520
Because he made the statement he made, which was, yeah, I'm not that afraid of it.
00:10:04.300
You can't just, you know, you can't just have a different opinion.
00:10:10.080
And look, you know, if the Minnesota Vikings are really worried about this and they don't
00:10:13.740
want him around their team, then they can keep him home.
00:10:17.280
But I mean, at the end of the day, if they really believed he was this huge danger, even
00:10:22.940
though they might not have a, you know, they might lose a couple of football games, they'd
00:10:29.300
That's the other part of this that's really frustrating.
00:10:34.240
Taking a few precautions is better than taking none.
00:10:38.760
So, like, they make it seem like if you're not perfect in doing everything that they say
00:10:45.460
Well, you know, maybe you wouldn't be able to get...
00:10:48.060
Like, there might be somebody who is, you know what, I don't really want to do the mask.
00:10:52.080
But, you know, I'll do the social distancing thing.
00:10:54.700
I don't need to be right up in somebody's face and smell their weird garlic breath every
00:11:01.240
When you assault people on every one of these little safety precautions, they just say,
00:11:14.520
If they cared, they'd be yelling at the protesters and saying, what the hell is that?
00:11:27.160
They yelled at all the bikers who went to South Dakota.
00:11:30.140
They yelled at the White House for having people sit near each other for one speech in
00:11:34.800
which they weren't even, you know, they weren't chanting or anything.
00:11:39.300
You know, if you're silent, there's a much bigger reduction in the chance of you spreading
00:11:47.200
I mean, we went through this whole list of all these publications, Drew Holden did this
00:11:52.860
on Twitter, where he had the side-by-side of the same organizations, Politico, CNN, BuzzFeed,
00:11:58.560
all of them, where they said the White House speech, all the coverage was about how they
00:12:03.480
were not socially distanced, they were not wearing masks, blah, blah, blah.
00:12:06.040
And then the glowing civil rights are back coverage of the march in Washington.
00:12:14.600
Why would anyone take them seriously the way they act?
00:12:17.740
When Nancy Pelosi's walking through a salon with no mask in the middle of a pandemic that
00:12:23.740
she's yelling at everybody else about masks about, how can anybody take them seriously?
00:12:32.060
Now, that doesn't mean that they're right to not take any precautions.
00:12:35.660
But when it's their idea, when it's their world, when John Lewis is the funeral, then
00:12:42.380
Because they like John Lewis, and they're more important than you.
00:12:45.200
The hypocrisy during this time has been just such, so much in our faces that it's really
00:12:55.080
Nancy Pelosi just turned this on the salon owner.
00:13:07.120
Didn't your assistant call them to see if they could do your hair?
00:13:13.740
And then she tells one reporter that somebody recommended this hair salon.
00:13:19.800
And then she said at her press conference or whatever that was, that she's been going
00:13:33.320
Most politicians, actually, but more so with these Democrats.
00:13:45.500
You know that thing, like if you're saying something that's a little dishonest, and you
00:13:49.040
kind of go ahead with it anyway, and you have that internal poll that says, I don't know
00:14:09.560
Now, look, I can understand completely what the salon owner did here.
00:14:15.980
I mean, because you can even make the argument that you can get a haircut in an empty salon,
00:14:22.460
I mean, like, look, I don't think they should be closed in the first place, but...
00:14:27.420
They're supposed to cut their hair only outside, which I've never seen in an outdoor salon.
00:14:35.040
It's a little bit of a retrofit for this era, I suppose.
00:14:39.620
If it wasn't windy, it wouldn't be a problem for them to cut it outside.
00:14:51.020
Like, you couldn't get away with saying, okay, I'm going to go to one of these places
00:14:58.100
And again, she wasn't wearing it even coming in the door, as far as I understand.
00:15:10.440
She, in her head, gets to do whatever the hell she wants because she's better than you.
00:15:16.980
Like, legitimately, this is what this woman thinks.
00:15:21.400
We'll have to play what she had to say yesterday.
00:15:36.520
And Raycon's newest model, the Everyday E25 earbuds, are the best ones yet.
00:15:41.320
Six hours of playtime, seamless Bluetooth pairing, more bass, noise-isolating fit,
00:15:46.340

00:16:02.720
On September 18th, don't miss Infidel, the new heart-pounding political thriller inspired by true events.
00:16:11.160
Infidel tells the story of one man's incredible journey of faith and survival after being kidnapped in the Middle East.
00:16:17.540
And his wife's courage to never give up on him.
00:16:20.900
When his country abandoned him, his freedom became her mission.
00:16:44.840
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.
00:16:48.600
So, Nancy Pelosi was very much Nancy Pelosi yesterday.
00:17:08.280
I take responsibility for trusting the word of the neighborhood salon that I've been to over the years many times.
00:17:15.960
And that when they said what we're able to accommodate people one person at a time, and that we can set up that time, I trusted that.
00:17:30.000
So I take responsibility for falling for a setup.
00:17:48.820
That this salon owes me an apology for setting up.
00:17:57.740
She effectively turned it all around to where she is the victim, the unknowing person who just trusted too much.
00:18:08.160
I mean, I think effectively might be misused in that.
00:18:13.040
But the media will believe anything she says, obviously.
00:18:15.440
They'll just go along with it and say, oh, yes, of course.
00:18:22.440
It happened three times last week where I was just walking around and then all of a sudden found myself getting a haircut without a mask.
00:19:00.840
I've had that happen with the stylists and I've had it happen with people, bankers who want to give me a loan.
00:19:07.460
The predatory loan is another thing that I just am terrified of.
00:19:24.840
That's one of the best ways to intimidate someone is to give them money and then say, you have to take this.
00:19:32.440
Of course, you'll have to pay us back at a massive interest rate because we are predators after all.
00:19:37.800
And then I was saying, well, what if I don't sign it?
00:19:40.920
And they say, well, if you don't sign it, then we can't make you take the money.
00:19:46.680
You know, and I had to agree to the terms on the piece of paper I was signing.
00:19:50.240
But other than that, it was them being predatory.
00:19:53.620
Just like the just like these salons, you know, the salons, you know, who else does this kind
00:20:00.340
Sometimes they'll kidnap you and make you go to their college and pay a lot of tuition.
00:20:05.380
And then you got tuition to pay off the rest of your life.
00:20:17.060
Because people are unable to avoid going to four years of college.
00:20:22.920
Because they're coming and kidnapping us and putting us in the chair.
00:20:43.760
I mean, when you believe the progressive mindset, you believe there are different classes of
00:20:56.380
Temperature taking has basically become the new national pastime.
00:20:59.860
You know, as businesses start to open up and allow employees to come to work, one of the
00:21:03.880
best tools they have for keeping those employees safe is an ability to monitor temperatures
00:21:08.080
So, there's a company called Tempagenics, and they have a really great product.
00:21:14.040
They just decided to, like, let's just streamline this process.
00:21:20.220
It's the first paper thermometer strip available for retail.
00:21:25.380
Everything is assembled by adults with disabilities.
00:21:31.060
People in recovery at Goodwill Enterprises, they work with all these great organizations.
00:21:35.100
And when the COVID pandemic came along, they released a bulk thermometer option for employers
00:21:39.640
that includes a dispenser box with options for 3,000 or 5,000 strip roll.
00:21:45.480
So, you know you've got to take the temperature.
00:21:49.380
Tempagenics utilizes all sorts of great organizations that they have to get these things done.
00:21:54.620
Tempantos is available at Tempantos.com slash back to work.
00:22:09.980
Every day, 7 to 9 Eastern or anywhere you get your podcasts for free.
00:22:14.240
Last week, we had Ryan Morrow on from the Clarion Project.
00:22:33.860
He was on the show to talk about his release of the latest documentary, Covert Cash.
00:22:39.280
What American universities don't want you to know about their foreign funding.
00:22:42.720
Blaze TV subscribers got first access on Friday.
00:22:51.320
Now, they've now released it everywhere and you can see it.
00:22:54.720
Can I see it at a hardware store if I want to or a shoe store?
00:23:06.520
How many documentaries do you watch at a payless?
00:23:09.120
Oh, I can't even count how many times I've done it.
00:23:14.900
I just sit there and try on shoes while I watch documentaries.
00:23:24.000
Maybe come watch this one with me at the payless.
00:23:26.980
We'd have to go to youtube.com slash clarionproject.org though.
00:23:33.160
As Glenn talked about last night, nothing is safe in the hands of big tech.
00:23:35.960
And we're going to get into that later on today.
00:23:38.200
If for any reason, of course, YouTube censors their documentary.
00:23:42.220
Use the promo code big tech and you go to go to the Glenn TV show page to see covert
00:23:48.540
You can check it out anytime this weekend at any payless location.
00:24:03.040
You can watch it from the hammer section or, you know, the lawn chairs sometimes.
00:24:12.040
That's a much better option than the hammer section.
00:24:16.480
Did you read about Elon Musk planning to build a glorious city on Mars?
00:24:25.700
Like, he really, he makes you believe that we're going to do all these things.
00:24:39.620
Or 2024 might be the moon and 2028 or 2030 might be Mars.
00:24:46.000
Anyway, it's a really, it's a short timetable because does it feel like we're ready to go
00:25:00.280
It does not seem like something that's going to be right around the corner.
00:25:07.680
And I love that it's a private business doing this.
00:25:10.080
They have partnered with NASA, but still, at least you got the private business element
00:25:18.400
He's building these starship rockets, he calls them, to take people back and forth to Mars.
00:25:24.880
And he says he's going to need a fleet of a thousand ships to create a sustainable city.
00:25:36.160
And he wants to have a million human beings living on Mars by, I believe, 20, yeah, 2050.
00:25:50.620
It'd be three flights a day for nine or 10 years.
00:26:03.140
The first bunch of groups of people who go will probably die.
00:26:14.680
I mean, before their time, they're obviously going to perish because Mars can't sustain life.
00:26:20.580
But I mean, that's a small price to pay, right?
00:26:29.440
I feel like it's one of the biggest prices to pay.
00:26:40.940
I've been thinking that maybe, I don't know, even unborn human life had some value.
00:26:48.640
I was watching some social media feed, I think, from Steven Crowder, who's on Blaze
00:26:56.440
And he was doing something about, you know, he does those things, change my mind.
00:27:00.460
He goes and just sits down and sets the table up and goes and says something controversial
00:27:05.220
Well, this was sort of the reverse of that, where he, it said something about, changed my
00:27:12.160
And he was talking, he had clips of him joking about Tesla and mocking the cars and everything.
00:27:18.960
And at least the insinuation was, I didn't see the whole segment, but it was the insinuation
00:27:29.940
Because, you know, you could sit here and part of me still feels that.
00:27:33.220
Like, every time I see one, I'm like, oh, geez, look at this.
00:27:38.000
And at the same time, like, knowing we drove this thing, it was the most amazing thing
00:27:52.560
And it just happens, like, it happens automatically, kind of, because it's downloaded to your car.
00:28:01.640
Now, I guess they do have some quality control problems.
00:28:04.040
I think they've got some of the biggest issues in the auto industry, in fact, in the quality
00:28:15.600
But it's a, I mean, you've got that great big screen.
00:28:21.660
And it goes zero to 60 in less than three seconds, I think.
00:28:30.400
And Tesla's like the, I think the second biggest, by market cap, the second or first
00:28:46.620
They don't sell anywhere near the volume that Toyota or Ford, GM, anybody sells.
00:28:54.260
And yet, it's more valuable than those companies.
00:28:56.780
And obviously, people are projecting the future.
00:28:59.400
And their stuff is great, but I still don't know that I see that as the ultimate solution.
00:29:05.500
I mean, like, and this is what's so funny about Elon Musk is that here's a guy who has
00:29:10.360
come to the place where, as you point out, Pat, he's not only created an electric car
00:29:18.100
He's actually sending people to Mars so that we can figure out a way to get off this planet
00:29:27.260
But the fact that he wanted to open up his own freaking factory against government edict
00:29:45.680
Wanted to produce cars for people who want him.
00:29:51.880
I'm going to save the climate unless people are actually doing the thing that they're supposed
00:29:57.340
But I, and I was told quite clearly the biggest threat to us was, was the climate change situation.
00:30:07.560
That was never any, that was George Bush's concern.
00:30:15.760
Everyone kind of just ignored him on the, on it.
00:30:18.100
And that one seemed like that was a little bit of a bigger situation than, than what
00:30:22.580
we've seen with the big 0.9 degree temperature rise over the past century.
00:30:27.380
So, so not only does he do the Tesla thing, not only does he do the space thing, but now
00:30:32.860
he's doing like chips in your brain to try to control seizures or depression or any number
00:30:41.640
Now, I'm not sure I want a chip implanted in me anywhere, but it's an, it's an amazing
00:30:48.780
If it does help people, um, he, one of the things that's supposed to do is maybe even
00:30:56.360
That's just, I mean, he's done some incredible things.
00:31:00.080
Uh, and along the way has become what the third richest man in the world.
00:31:04.260
Now he just passed Mark Zuckerberg, I think at $120 billion or something, 120 billion.
00:31:11.500
Can you believe 120 billion is third on the list now?
00:31:17.960
Um, and you just, you just have to sit back and, and kind of marvel cause he's a weird
00:31:29.400
And at one time he was apparently sleeping in his factory cause he couldn't get the cars
00:31:34.960
The, I mean, it took him way longer than he thought it was going to take to produce what
00:31:41.240
a $30,000 car, $30,000 version of what he was making before.
00:31:46.300
Uh, so we had to sleep on the premises in the factory in order to make that happen.
00:31:50.860
To be clear, he did not need to sleep at the factory.
00:31:57.520
He's like, like, there's no, there's never a reason the owner of the company needs to sleep
00:32:06.020
It's not, it's not a thing, but he's pushed it.
00:32:13.460
And it was a Paw Patrol sleeping bag, which I thought was interesting.
00:32:22.600
I, you know, and, and I will say, you know, he's, he's definitely a, a very quirky guy,
00:32:27.780
but part of me is like, you know, if I was a billionaire,
00:32:37.380
I wouldn't be trying to solve the climate crisis, but would I be,
00:32:43.320
I probably do have my own flamethrower company.
00:32:46.740
Like I, you're just going to throw money at really crazy things that you think have a
00:32:51.140
1% chance of working, you know, and whatever you think the biggest, like you would just
00:32:57.760
do all crazy things and not apologize for them.
00:33:00.080
And that's what I think people like about Elon Musk.
00:33:04.340
You know, he doesn't, he obviously should not have been saying things like, I don't
00:33:12.520
Like as a liberal, he's not supposed to say things like that, but he did because it's
00:33:18.020
He actually said at one point, was it last year?
00:33:20.920
He said his stock price was way too high, which is kind of counterproductive.
00:33:28.080
When you own a whole bunch of those stocks, you don't want them to be lowered necessarily.
00:33:32.740
And somehow he survived that and the stock price went up a lot.
00:33:43.140
More Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program coming up.
00:33:48.140
According to a Forbes columnist, you need to own gold because it is money and it has intrinsic
00:34:05.740
Owning gold keeps all of your eggs out of one basket.
00:34:10.420
One of the few assets that has no counterparty risk.
00:34:13.240
You need to speak to Goldline and learn how easy it is to add physical gold to your portfolio,
00:34:21.660
Read their important risk information and find out if gold or silver is right for you.

The new heart-pounding political thriller inspired by true events.
00:34:35.540
After being kidnapped in the Middle East, one man must hold on to his faith to survive.
00:34:40.620
And his wife must find the courage to never stop fighting for him.
00:34:48.760
But his country abandoned him for sharing his beliefs.
00:34:55.120
See Infidel, starring Jim Caviezel, only in theaters September 18th.
00:34:59.040
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:35:07.760
We were just talking about some of these athletes who are speaking out.
00:35:11.360
Because, because, Stu, you just did a segment, didn't you, on Jacob Blake?
00:35:24.880
Just search for Stu and you'll see the show there.
00:35:35.720
Some of these people have been, you know, so revered all of a sudden.
00:35:39.760
And in some cases, it might not be appropriate.
00:35:45.780
Like, you can find fault in every single situation, right?
00:35:52.640
And we've talked about many times, cases that you might be able to find something bad about
00:35:58.760
Like, that's, I think, somewhat of a lame thing to do.
00:36:01.400
To just do like, okay, this person was killed by police.
00:36:07.800
Jacob Blake is the reason why the police were called to this location is because of the things
00:36:18.820
The reason why he acted the way he did that day is because he knew he was running away,
00:36:24.900
not from just a police incident, but from decades in prison because he allegedly is one of the
00:36:34.120
Because of what he's done to this one woman in particular who called cops on him that day.
00:36:40.560
But put a decal with his name on it, on your helmet.
00:36:48.940
And he wasn't the only one in the Saints who did it.
00:36:52.200
But look, you can say that there's a problem with police violence if you want.
00:36:58.320
I mean, we've statistically shown that it's really not true.
00:37:02.460
It's just not a societal, systemic type of issue.
00:37:05.740
And so there are obviously cases of it occasionally.
00:37:08.460
There's always going to be because people aren't perfect.
00:37:12.100
Well, we have this thing, Pat, that's working against us when it comes to perfection, which
00:37:21.380
And a lot of them screw up every single day, including the people who are constantly,
00:37:25.040
you know, like Jacob Blake's father, for example.
00:37:32.740
That should be an interesting conversation with a cracker.
00:37:38.780
I'm wondering if Joe will ask him about how much, how bad Jews are, because I'm wondering
00:37:42.900
because he has a lot of really important opinions about how awful Jews are and how they've ruined
00:37:52.800
I wonder if they'll have a pleasant discussion about how awful Jewry is, because that'll be
00:37:59.980
You know, maybe Joe can add some of that to his platform.
00:38:07.240
This would be akin to Trump meeting with somebody who has KKK leanings.
00:38:13.440
If Donald Trump scheduled a meeting with David Duke tomorrow, it would be the same as meeting
00:38:19.180
This guy has, if you haven't seen his social posts, maybe we should go over them as well,
00:38:23.240
because people might not be up on that coming up here in a few minutes.
00:38:26.380
But they are, anything Richard Spencer would write online, these things are as bad or worse.
00:38:39.040
And now he's going to be the voice of reason to teach us about racial issues.
00:38:52.000
But this is what happens every time, you know, there's a police shooting.
00:38:55.040
They deify the person who was shot, no matter what kind of person they were.
00:38:58.280
And, you know, it doesn't mean that they shouldn't have been shot.
00:39:03.820
But maybe you should be careful about who you're deifying.
00:39:09.480
I mean, like, look, even if you say with Jacob Blake, should he have been shot multiple times?
00:39:15.200
I mean, I think the punishment for the crimes he's allegedly committed would be something more like life in prison.
00:39:28.360
But, hey, you know, I mean, look, everyone gets a trial.
00:39:32.020
And, of course, you know, look, if the police did something wrong, they should be prosecuted for it.
00:39:36.180
But this is not the story the media is telling you.
00:39:43.000
But did you know that they were teaming up with Honey to save you money?
00:39:47.400
Honey is the free online shopping tool that automatically finds the best promo codes and applies them to your cart.
00:39:56.160
Just add Honey to your computer and shop on all of your favorite sites like normal.
00:40:01.220
When it comes to checkout, just click the little apply coupons button when it pops up.
00:40:05.960
A few seconds later, Honey scans the database for all the working coupons on the web and watch your price drop.
00:40:12.340
Honey works on nearly every online store, Walmart, DoorDash, Home Depot, Lululemon, Macy's.
00:40:22.360
That's why they have over 100,000 five-star reviews on Google Chrome Store.
00:40:26.160
Not using Honey is literally passing up free money.
00:40:29.040
It is free to use and installs in just a couple of seconds.
00:40:42.820
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:40:50.180
You believe it's Labor Day weekend coming up here already?
00:41:09.120
That should be an interesting conversation the two of them have.
00:41:13.720
Because it seems to be the thing that Jacob Blake's dad is really interested in.
00:41:18.480
It's so weird, the amount of people who are so interested in Jews like he is.
00:41:27.980
Also, Jacob Blake Jr. seems to have some issues that we're finding out more about as well.
00:41:36.220
A couple of things in his background that maybe aren't conducive to him being deified right now by the Democrats.
00:41:59.300
Do I want him to have gotten shot seven times in the back?
00:42:04.700
It would have been nice if they could have arrested him and just taken him to jail.
00:42:09.160
But yeah, that's where he should be for a very long time.
00:42:20.900
You know, and I'm fascinated to see the government and so many, like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and more,
00:42:32.020
do this sort of deifying thing with Jacob Blake.
00:42:39.440
It's the WNBA, which is a basketball league played by women.
00:42:47.360
I didn't know either, but until I saw this picture of them and their t-shirts.
00:42:55.220
Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints, putting it on a masking tape on their helmet.
00:43:00.980
2.2 million dollars in a GoFundMe coming his way.
00:43:12.240
And then wait until he sues the city of Kenosha and the state of Wisconsin and the police association.
00:43:22.540
And we've seen all these comments from Biden and Kamala and so many more.
00:43:28.200
But to understand what happened on August 23rd, which was the date of the shooting, you have to go back to May 3rd.
00:43:39.040
He was charged with 3rd degree sexual assault, among other things.
00:43:44.900
And there's some rumors going around the internet that he had, that was about sex with a minor.
00:43:51.440
Someone has like taken a different state's 3rd degree sexual assault law and put it into posts online.
00:43:57.940
Which again is bizarre because this is bad enough.
00:43:59.400
Yeah, because I've heard that too, but not true.
00:44:02.380
Here's what the Wisconsin, there's two things that need to be true to get 3rd degree sexual assault in Wisconsin.
00:44:07.320
Number one, the defendant had sexual intercourse with the victim.
00:44:11.760
Number two, the victim did not consent to the sexual intercourse.
00:44:16.160
Now to me, that's just straight out rape, right?
00:44:18.560
Like that, that's, you could call it a 3rd degree sexual assault if you want.
00:44:21.960
But the definition of rape, I would, I could easily define it just like that.
00:44:27.120
The defendant had sexual intercourse with the victim.
00:44:29.360
The victim did not consent to the sexual intercourse.
00:44:36.320
So we now know that the woman, the alleged victim was the same woman who called police on the day Blake was shot.
00:44:44.180
She called police on Blake because he showed up at her place when he wasn't supposed to.
00:44:47.820
And the last time he was there, he was charged with 3rd degree sexual assault.
00:44:52.060
My understanding was not only did he show up when he wasn't supposed to, he showed up in the middle of the night standing over her in her bed.
00:45:00.020
So this is why he, she's calling police because this guy who showed up in the middle of the night last time he was there is a bit of a problem in her life.
00:45:08.780
It's like, look, obviously we have the whole thing.
00:45:12.740
It's, this is an alleged situation at this time.
00:45:21.540
I know this is going to be shocking, but I'm going to give that benefit of the doubt to both sides.
00:45:25.280
Uh, but basically what happened was the victim here, the woman went to a party in Milwaukee the previous night.
00:45:33.220
So this is May 2nd, May 3rd, early in the morning, comes back at like four in the morning, arrives at home, comes in and goes to bed in her, in her bed.
00:45:42.980
Jacob Blake breaks in to her home and, uh, she is startled awake when she, at six o'clock in the morning, she wakes up and Jacob Blake is standing over her.
00:45:56.640
Now they had known each other for years, but it was well known that he was not welcome in her home.
00:46:02.260
So think about, you know, what kind of person you have to be to do this, right?
00:46:05.120
Like you need to actually break into someone's home.
00:46:18.820
Um, so she's alone, she's in her bed with one of her children and then Blake assaults her in a way that I'm not going to describe here on radio, but, uh, it's not pretty.
00:46:29.800
And there's a lot of really disgusting details that go along with it.
00:46:37.200
The New York post obtained it among others, a couple of other media sources as well.
00:46:44.360
Uh, now after this ends, he leaves, uh, the woman gets up, collects herself, runs out of the door to basically yell at him, you know, whatever.
00:47:01.280
She goes out to find that her car is missing, comes back in, looks in her purse, realizes he's taken her keys.
00:47:13.740
He goes in the car, takes, and it makes two withdrawals, uh, from her bank account.
00:47:19.260
Um, unauthorized withdrawals from her bank account.
00:47:25.340
Now it's interesting what happens when she actually calls 911, because as you know, the police are a bunch of racist monsters.
00:47:33.100
They're going to come here probably and execute every minority in the place, right?
00:47:38.060
So we'll pick the story up there in 60 seconds.

On September 18th, don't miss Infidel, the new heart-pounding political thriller inspired by true events.
00:48:27.420
Infidel tells the story of one man's incredible journey of faith and survival after being kidnapped in the Middle East.
00:48:33.820
And his wife's courage to never give up on him.
00:48:37.420
When his country abandoned him, his freedom became her mission.
00:49:01.860
This is Pat and Stufer Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:49:04.180
We're talking about Jacob Blake and some of his background before the shooting.
00:49:08.600
You can get all the details and I have, you know, screenshots and all this stuff on the show last night on Stu Does America.
00:49:17.300
You can watch the whole show there if you want to get additional detail.
00:49:20.020
But we're going through what happened that day.
00:49:31.520
And instead of, you know, violently attacking every minority in the complex, they're actually really protective of the victim, which is, I know, a shocking thing for police to do.
00:49:40.820
They take a tearful statement from her where she said her assault, quote, caused her pain and humiliation was done without her consent.
00:49:48.200
She was, quote, very humiliated and upset by the sexual assault.
00:49:52.120
They also noted that she had a very difficult time telling the officer about what had happened.
00:49:58.460
And she cried as she told them how the defendant assaulted her.
00:50:03.960
And so, you know, people might say, and I understand it, you know, okay, he's a bad guy.
00:50:10.400
Like, you could say he's a bad guy, but what about the actual incident?
00:50:13.020
And this is where I think people need to focus their attention.
00:50:17.560
If you're going to pick an incident that involves Jacob Blake, this is the one to care about.
00:50:26.040
You can talk, you can put his name on your shirts if you want, but this is the incident.
00:50:31.660
Yes, a woman being raped next to her child in bed as she slept should take priority over an alleged rapist getting shot by police.
00:50:45.400
And, you know, I hear a lot of calls for justice for Jacob Blake.
00:50:50.380
Where are the calls for justice for this woman who is sitting there?
00:50:59.160
I haven't heard LeBron James say word one about this woman he raped.
00:51:04.360
Because she doesn't see, no one seems to give a crap about that.
00:51:07.540
You know, and yeah, you know, he might, maybe he doesn't deserve to be shot seven times.
00:51:11.880
And we can talk about the circumstances there, which we've covered.
00:51:15.700
And obviously, there's a million reasons why that happened.
00:51:20.860
But again, this is a, it's not like he did something where there was the thing with Eric Garner.
00:51:26.720
And they're like, oh, you know, he should have been, you know, killed for selling loose cigarettes.
00:51:30.080
It's not exactly, you know, it's not true per se, but he didn't commit a major crime to lead to the incident as it happened.
00:51:38.480
This guy did commit, he committed third degree sexual assault.
00:51:45.980
The victim, by the way, it was a victim of not only rape, but also her car being stolen, her bank account being stolen, several other things.
00:51:58.120
As the victim stated, he, quote, physically assaults her around twice a year when he drinks heavily.
00:52:04.840
The guy basically has a, you know, a recurring calendar event to come commit domestic abuse against this woman.
00:52:10.300
And she's had to live with this this entire time.
00:52:13.360
And I don't know, what's the appropriate penalty for this?
00:52:16.080
Repeated domestic assault, grand theft auto, stealing money from a bank account, and rape.
00:52:24.800
What's the, what are you going to get, a life in prison?
00:52:32.040
The penalty for his sexual assault is 10 years in Wisconsin.
00:52:39.680
10 years is a ridiculously small sentence for what this guy did.
00:52:44.500
And that doesn't even include all of his other crimes, including, of course, fighting with officers, resisting arrest, and all the other things that he did.
00:52:49.800
So, should we care about the injustice of an innocent woman who was sexually assaulted in her bed as she slept next to her child?
00:52:56.620
Or should we be talking about the supposed injustice of a frequent domestic abuser, thief, and rapist who was shot after resisting arrest, ignoring clear directions from officers, while possessing a knife, and walking through two tase attempts?
00:53:15.580
It doesn't seem to be easy to the WNBA, or LeBron James, or Drew Brees.
00:53:19.820
And all these people who purport to care about women.
00:53:24.280
These are supposedly the people who protect women.
00:53:26.520
This is the thing that hit me, I think, harder than any hit.
00:53:36.160
You know, everyone in the public eye should stop and think about what they're doing here.
00:53:43.440
And you're burning down cities over this rapist.
00:53:47.200
And imagine the victim who sits there and watches WNBA players wear t-shirts to spell out the name of her rapist.
00:53:54.700
Imagine watching Drew Brees, if you're this victim, and seeing on his helmet the name of your rapist.
00:54:02.840
Imagine realizing that thousands of people across the country have united in effort to give your rapist $2 million.
00:54:11.100
Imagine how that feels if you're the victim of his sexual assault and frequent domestic abuse.
00:54:23.600
If we can't recognize this as a society, that we're doing this wrong.
00:54:31.620
I'm not saying there's never been a case of it, obviously.
00:54:34.760
But the last thing in the world we need to worry about, if we are a society who can't recognize that the real crime here is this poor woman who was raped in a bed next to her child as her child slept.
00:54:50.480
And we have celebrities plastering their uniforms with this guy's name.
00:55:02.460
I mean, and that's assuming that's assuming that the shooting wasn't justified, which I'm not convinced of.
00:55:08.380
No, I mean, I think I don't think there's going to be.
00:55:13.500
I would not be surprised if they face charges because this is the new reaction, right?
00:55:21.600
Look, I don't want a 17-year-old with a rifle at one of these things.
00:55:27.620
And look, you're putting a 17-year-old into a very chaotic situation, and it's very hard to see how good could come out of it.
00:55:36.520
So, that being said, there's no way the man is guilty or the kid is guilty of first-degree murder.
00:55:46.400
And the reason they did it is because we think if we overcharge him, we can get these riots to stop, and we'll deal with the fact that we've overcharged him in six months.
00:55:55.920
Well, and you might be dealing with a jury saying, no, you overcharge him.
00:56:15.860
Well, since when did shaving become so complicated?
00:56:19.320
You see commercials all the time for these products now.
00:56:21.540
They've got like 9,000 blades and all these weird products that you're throwing on your face.
00:56:26.120
Wouldn't it be nice if you just had one thing instead of all these soaps and gels and foams and everything else?
00:56:32.760
Shave Secret is a proprietary blend of essential oils.
00:56:35.280
It comes with a bottle small enough to fit in a travel case.
00:56:37.660
And I will, every time I think about Shave Secret, I always think, how do these guys make money?
00:56:40.720
Because the bottle is so small and it lasts for like a century.
00:56:47.560
You rub it into the area you want to shave and then you go for it.
00:56:49.940
You'll be left with the smoothest, best smelling shave of your life.
00:56:53.580
And you'll end up wondering where Shave Secret has been this entire time.
00:57:00.760
Shave Secret is available regionally at H-E-B, Wegmans, Walmart, and Amazon.
00:57:06.540
If you use the code BECK, you'll get a 10% discount.
00:57:27.160
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:57:40.920
Given some of Joe Biden's past comments, you think maybe they'll have a lot to talk about.
00:57:48.180
Those he's made some interesting posts that might seem to some people anti-Semitic, such
00:58:06.880
Repeatedly referring to white people as crackers and pinks or pink toes, which I don't think
00:58:27.280
In one post, he wrote, fresh out of Facebook penitentiary, I say F the white man.
00:58:36.320
He captioned a graphic that reads, white Jesus exposed is the biggest fraud unleashed on
00:58:45.440
I wonder how Joe Biden, a very dedicated Catholic, I believe, right?
00:58:53.880
Maybe that's one of the things I'll discuss today.
00:58:56.660
But he had the caption, crackers have never told the truth.
00:59:14.100
You know, I thought his point was pretty interesting when he said the first Jews were brown, not
00:59:21.720
And, you know, I never heard anyone make that point before.
00:59:25.100
I also liked the Jewish media picks and chooses who is a terrorist and who is not.
00:59:36.720
White Jews want you to believe there are no brown Jews.
00:59:49.640
Some of the stuff I can't, unfortunately, read.
00:59:56.320
It's not like he said one thing one day that he really didn't mean and then came out and
01:00:05.880
It seems to be very consistent with the black Israelite movement, which if you remember,
01:00:15.720
They were screaming at him, all sorts of really racist things.
01:00:22.280
He's very obsessed with why Leopold has not been vilified like Hitler has.
01:00:27.160
And that's, of course, because the Jews control the media, apparently.
01:00:36.280
Now, part of this is, I don't think, necessarily productive, right?
01:00:44.320
And when I say a guy who was shot a rapist who was shot by police, I think you could say
01:00:49.580
it's not particularly worthwhile to go back through his old social media clips.
01:00:55.700
However, Joe Biden should not be meeting with him.
01:01:02.440
I know the double standard thing can be overdone.
01:01:05.640
But if Donald Trump met with a guy who had said half of this stuff, he doesn't like...
01:01:10.900
If he does not denounce white supremacy in extreme enough terms, he is basically...
01:01:22.920
It's because Donald Trump didn't say white supremacists were bad enough after Charlottesville,
01:01:29.260
which is highly controversial in and of itself.
01:01:31.380
But Joe Biden's going to go meet with a guy who's posted this nonsense?
01:01:34.460
Here's one of the fun things he's posted that this guy he's going to meet with.
01:01:38.760
I know some dumb crackers, but this orange cracker is the dumbest of them all.
01:01:53.080
And based on the way that 2020 has been going so far, I don't know.
01:01:57.860
One of the things everybody likes to do, though, is grill out.
01:02:00.660
And I got to tell you, the Rectech Grill is the best one around.
01:02:13.080
I know when I have a grill, I'm guessing all the time, trying to figure out if this stuff is done.
01:02:17.600
If it's hot enough, I can't get both sides heat equally.
01:02:20.680
You have to deal with any of that stuff with Rectech.
01:02:22.860
It can sense outside temperature shifts and will adjust its own heat to maintain the proper temperature.
01:02:28.280
It has sensors that go in whatever you're grilling and will tell you precisely when it's reached the proper temperature.
01:02:33.220
Best of all, when you got Rectech going out there, doing all the work, you can be wherever you want to be, controlling the whole thing from an app on your phone.
01:02:43.600
Follow Rectech on all social media and sign up for their newsletter.
01:03:01.020
Ms. Glenn's special yesterday on Big Tech and the election.
01:03:12.180
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-B-E-C-K.
01:03:25.140
You can check out both our shows either live or on podcast at your leisure, anytime of the day or night, wherever you get your podcasts.
01:03:42.280
And you can subscribe and rate and review and do all those things you're supposed to do.
01:03:52.520
Glenn had a great special last night on Big Tech.
01:03:54.960
And the influence they may or may not have over the election, they're certainly trying to have.
01:04:06.900
So he's got a compelling story about how influential Google really is.
01:04:24.480
Wait, you're saying that Ask Jeeves only does 13%?
01:04:28.360
Ask Jeeves and Lycos, I think, is the other big one.
01:04:33.820
So they did some Google searches and then compared them to Yahoo and Bing searches.
01:04:41.700
Here they are talking about how the negatives are suppressed when they're Joe Biden negatives, how Google suppresses them.
01:04:51.240
When people type in, you know, Glenn Beck, we always think when it's filling the rest of it in that that is what people are searching for.
01:05:05.080
It was, I think, in the very, very beginning when that autocomplete was invented.
01:05:11.660
But, you know, at first it was an opt-in feature.
01:05:14.320
Then all of a sudden it became a feature you couldn't opt out of.
01:05:18.320
And then they reduced the number of items they were showing you to shorter and shorter lists.
01:05:23.560
And very gradually it turned into what it is now, which is just a tool for manipulation.
01:05:30.180
And we have shown in randomized controlled experiments, just by manipulating those search suggestions that they flash at you while you're typing,
01:05:39.460
we can turn a 50-50 split among undecided voters into a 90-10 split with no one having the slightest idea that they have been influenced.
01:05:53.520
And you see it says against Biden, against Biden political ad commercial, against, okay, this is Yahoo on the top.
01:06:03.820
You go down to Google and it's a different story.
01:06:07.100
Well, what Google is doing for candidates and companies and causes that they want to promote, they are suppressing negatives.
01:06:16.400
So that's a perfect example where you see negatives popping up regarding Biden on YouTube and the same on Bing.
01:06:28.900
You could call it censorship, but it's also a very powerful manipulation that people cannot see.
01:06:36.840
You can't see because you don't know what you don't know.
01:06:42.280
From a 50-50 split to 90-10, based on the searches that you're doing and the fact that they're suppressing all negatives of one candidate over the other.
01:07:00.340
You want to buy a new car and then you see that car all over the place.
01:07:08.460
If you're constantly seeing messages about how X candidate is a really bad guy and he's doing all these bad things, especially if you take yourself...
01:07:17.460
I think a lot of times our audience and us in talk radio have this impression that the rest of the country is like us.
01:07:31.920
If you're listening to this show, you're already so far beyond the average amount of information taken in on a daily basis as the average person.
01:07:42.140
They're flipping through their friends' Facebook pages.
01:07:43.880
They're seeing posts from like Jacob Blake's father and they're looking at totally different things than you are.
01:07:54.040
Just yesterday, I was looking for something on Biden.
01:07:58.140
Oh, I was looking for his initial comments on fracking from the debate where he said that he was going to eliminate fracking and he was going to eliminate fossil fuels.
01:08:05.720
No, but he said in a speech the other day that he was not going to ban fracking.
01:08:08.580
Right, that's what he said and that's the only thing I could find.
01:08:13.700
Now, we eventually found it somewhere else, but we had to go directly to a website to do it.
01:08:22.240
Because I thought that was an interesting and underplayed moment of that speech.
01:08:24.980
I am not going to ban fracking, no matter how many times Trump lies about it.
01:08:32.980
Obviously, that's another thing that's showing up in their polls as a problem in states like Pennsylvania.
01:08:37.980
So, they're very transparent when they see a problem in the polls.
01:08:42.320
Yeah, and many, many Americans understand it was fracking that saved our butts for a long time during economic downturns.
01:08:51.740
Yeah, and by the way, you know who else should be saying thank goodness for fracking?
01:08:54.980
Are people who are whining about global warming all the time.
01:08:57.800
Because the turn from coal to natural gas is the only reason we've been able to cut our emissions.
01:09:03.620
And we've been able to do it without destroying an economy, which is the usual way you cut your emissions.
01:09:08.960
And horizontal fracking has turned up more coal or more natural gas than in the last few years than we had in our entire history before that time.
01:09:24.920
And then we have one of the two major parties that wants to ban it.
01:09:34.900
And you search and search and search and search and search.
01:09:37.920
And again, you have to take yourself out of the situation as a highly informed consumer of news content.
01:09:48.220
Most people just give up if they can't find the thing right away.
01:09:51.700
Google gets to tell them exactly what the facts are that need to be seen.
01:09:57.920
And they don't see things like this with the anti-Hillary search.
01:10:09.780
That graph shows you that at some point or other in 2016, when Trump gave her that nickname,
01:10:19.720
the Google Trends is showing you that millions of people were searching for Crooked Hillary.
01:10:24.600
So, the question is, that's according to Google's own data.
01:10:27.680
The question is, what happens if you type the word crooked into the Google search engine versus other search engines?
01:10:36.420
You get crooked smile, crooked blank, crooked colors come down, crooked smile lyrics.
01:10:52.260
So, two of them are operating, honestly, on the algorithm of what people are actually doing.
01:11:25.760
See, now I'm distracted and I'm looking at pizza instead of what I should be looking at,
01:11:35.960
We'll fact check that one for you after the show.
01:11:40.340
So, they also feature the head of YouTube, who is Susan Wisicki, I think.
01:11:51.220
And she was talking about how YouTube is taking away all of the fake news for us.
01:12:00.600
And we are increasing the authoritative news and promoting it.
01:12:04.980
We have a whole system we came up with, Trashy News, where we have build classifiers.
01:12:10.620
We look for salacious, for clickbait, content that we don't think is the authoritative news.
01:12:18.100
It's just kind of encouraging people to look at, but it's not true.
01:12:27.440
And we are working to understand, identify that with machine learning, and then to push that down.
01:12:36.480
She's not embarrassed at all to talk about that.
01:12:40.020
And I'm sure it's not even occurring to anybody that's listening to her.
01:12:45.100
Who's deciding what's trashy news and what isn't and what you should push down and what you shouldn't?
01:12:51.240
I mean, aren't your opinions a little bit tainted on that?
01:12:57.320
And one of the biggest things that he talks about is this idea of an ephemeral circumstance where, an ephemeral experience.
01:13:07.500
Like, if we all, we can all go here and type crooked in, right, and see what comes up.
01:13:14.540
However, there's no reason that has to come up to me and Pat and everyone in the audience the same way, right?
01:13:23.000
Like, for example, if you were to say where to vote, it could direct me to my local polling center if I was a Hillary voter or a Biden voter.
01:13:32.860
And Pat, who might be a Trump voter, they could write where to vote and it could send you to the wrong place.
01:13:39.740
It could send you to a way to vote for American Idol.
01:13:42.580
It could do all sorts of different things to throw you off the track.
01:13:46.540
And it doesn't seem like a lot, but if they can do that and then at the end of the day, we can't look back and say,
01:13:53.380
look, Google manipulated this because the only person who saw it was Pat in that one second and then it's gone forever.
01:14:01.860
There's no way to check whether they're doing it or not.
01:14:05.060
This is why he's trying to build a system to essentially monitor this so we can make a case and say this is happening.
01:14:13.540
And that's what Robert Epstein is trying to do.
01:14:16.160
But still, it's terrifying because they could do it on a whim.
01:14:20.000
You know, they could, they could, the example he uses often is to say, you see those, when you go to Google,
01:14:27.000
you get the dumb message, whatever, celebrating some holiday, certainly not Christmas or Easter,
01:14:31.360
but usually some like weird holiday you've never heard of.
01:14:34.140
And they throw that up on the, on the, on the screen.
01:14:41.560
Now, most people are going to remember, of course, but there's going to be some people who are influenced by that.
01:14:46.900
Well, what if, considering they have a very distinct profile of who you are and who you might vote for and what are the things you believe?
01:14:54.960
What if they only sent that message to Democrats?
01:14:59.140
What if they only reminded people to vote that were, that they thought were going to vote Democrat?
01:15:07.260
And there'd be almost no way of proving that they had done that in a wide scale.
01:15:12.800
You might find one Republican might see, you know, might be next to their friend and say, hey, why is it popping up for him and not for me?
01:15:18.320
But there'd be a million different explanations as to why that would happen.
01:15:24.020
And it could move thousands, hundreds of thousands of votes.
01:15:33.180
And, you know, I think as long as we realize it, you can avoid that kind of thing.
01:15:58.920
And if you put the A, you said A-R-Y you left off.
01:16:07.440
It's as if Crooked Hillary has never been searched for in Google.
01:16:13.420
Then you hit the search and images for Crooked Hillary.
01:16:21.140
The top ten nicknames and why they stick to his foes.
01:16:24.300
Which is like a negative way of portraying Trump.
01:16:28.300
Then the second one is Trump revives Crooked Hillary nickname.
01:16:45.420
Part of this is we need to not be just so dependent on it.
01:16:49.660
We shouldn't be a society that is capable of being manipulated like this.
01:16:55.340
We should all have opinions that we actually have researched ourselves.
01:16:59.960
You know, like, I mean, his claim about how he can change it from a 50-50 issue to a 90-10
01:17:04.240
should not be possible if we listen to Ben Franklin.
01:17:09.240
So, we all kind of just live our lives and we pop on Google and we're told a bunch of things.
01:17:13.040
We just believe it eventually, almost instantly, and we're moved in a way that we shouldn't be moved.
01:17:20.360
But still, that does not mean it's cool for Google to do this.
01:17:30.760
These are uncertain times and what's considered normal seems to change daily.
01:17:51.000
I'm naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black, inventor of Rough Greens, and those two things are this.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:19:04.440
Oh, could it be because, I don't know, even though he supports the wonderful movement,
01:19:10.320
the wonderful movement trying to burn down his residence has affected him a little bit?
01:19:16.520
So he's trying to move out of his condo because they're trying to set his condo on fire.
01:19:25.840
Especially, well, it is peaceful fire, I suppose.
01:19:31.840
I think this is odd because you get these people who wind up essentially so friendly
01:19:36.040
to these ridiculous movements and protesters that they don't want to say anything bad about them.
01:19:41.660
And so, but yet they're mayor and they're the only people who can really do anything about it.
01:19:46.520
But they're so weird about doing anything about it because they've never been in this position
01:19:51.960
Like, I mean, this mayor of Portland is an absolute embarrassment.
01:20:07.120
On the left, they just, all they do is run these cities into the ground and get reelected.
01:20:14.260
I wish we had like the worst ratings in the world and they just kept giving us new contracts.
01:20:19.220
Does that happen to anyone else in the audience?
01:20:23.740
I guess if you can pull it off, you might as well try.

Getting out of a chair or taking those nice long walks is painful.
01:22:18.500
Whatever the pain, from just getting older or even exercise, maybe you should do what this person did.
01:22:24.780
I lived for decades in a lot of extreme pain with my lower back and legs.
01:22:34.780
I am so grateful to Relief Factor that I've gotten my life back.
01:22:40.420
People want a drug-free solution to their pain.
01:22:45.380
Which is why the medical doctors who did the research also put together the formula for Relief Factor.
01:22:50.280
Then we created the three-week quick start and discounted it to only $19.95 to make it as easy as possible to see if we can get you out of pain, too.
01:23:04.460
Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:23:24.760
An Ohio school district has banned the thin blue line flags.
01:23:28.560
Those are, you know, the flags that honor police officers and first responders.
01:23:34.460
After a high school football player carried one onto the field to honor a local first responder, who is also his coach and police officer.
01:23:46.080
This display will not be part of future pregame activities at Chardon Athletic Contests, according to Superintendent Michael P. Hanlon.
01:23:58.240
In addition, procedures will be put in place by our athletic director to review any planned pregame displays for possible connections to any form of discrimination or particular political views.
01:24:11.980
I'm sorry, what political view or form of discrimination is a police officer?
01:24:22.120
It used to be kind of one of those things that people agreed on.
01:24:36.160
No, you can't carry the thin blue line flag in there.
01:24:39.780
After the game last Friday, members of the community stirred up a debate over whether the display was an innocent move in support of local first responders,
01:25:06.700
Said that running out onto the field with the flag could be interpreted as a racially motivated action.
01:25:12.480
And he also noticed the district policy does not permit engagement in political activity.
01:25:18.040
Again, what political party are police officers?
01:25:23.220
Frank Hall, a former assistant football coach and teacher at the school, received national praise after he charged at a gunman and later prayed with victims.
01:25:31.820
Days after that shooting, he pushed back at the attention and said the real heroes were the emergency responders who rushed to the scene.
01:25:38.780
I mean, why would you, it's really hard to understand what's going on here.
01:25:45.140
I mean, you couldn't, 4th of July, people couldn't celebrate Independence Day because that was racist somehow.
01:25:54.600
I mean, people were being, people were being shouted down on social media for saying happy 4th of July.
01:26:09.500
And it's because the word doesn't mean what the word has always meant.
01:26:13.080
It's just a new word they've just jammed into a familiar term.
01:26:20.940
I don't think it means what you think it means.
01:26:27.120
We did this thing on Studios in America, the Everything is Racist song.
01:26:39.200
I don't even think they're trying anymore to make it make sense.
01:26:42.640
It's just this, this idea that every single thing is racist.
01:26:45.940
And you look at some of the people who've written this, comes from, you know, White Fragility is one of the big books that pushes this.
01:26:57.100
Ibram Kendi is another author who's done this before.
01:27:01.880
He says, he's literally, without any asterisk, advocating for discrimination.
01:27:12.180
He says, it's almost a quote if it's not exact, but the only solution to past discrimination is present discrimination.
01:27:21.840
The only solution for present discrimination is future discrimination.
01:27:28.420
You have to discriminate against, obviously, what he's saying is discriminate against white people.
01:27:33.460
The only way we can solve this is if we discriminate against white people.
01:27:37.220
That is legitimately one of the heroes of this movement.
01:27:47.860
It's okay to discriminate against white people now.
01:27:50.820
Look at all the curriculum that's being done that's anti-white.
01:27:55.100
You're a racist, and you just might as well admit it.
01:27:59.060
We're reading today that, I mean, you just are literally, if you're white, you're just plain racist.
01:28:07.820
Because if you say you don't, if you say you don't discriminate and you're not racist, well, that's a perfect sign that you are.
01:28:17.680
I don't even know why we bother with it, but it's such a factor in today's society.
01:28:24.320
And it's important to understand what they're trying to pull off here, which is remarkable.
01:28:30.880
They're just trying to change the language in front of your eyes.
01:28:42.180
If racism means what Ibram Kendi says it means, then everyone is racist.
01:28:48.620
So when you say, well, I'm not racist, you're lying because you have to be.
01:29:01.120
They say you because you are white, you have benefited from this system.
01:29:06.360
And this system inherently has helped you throughout your entire life.
01:29:11.120
And so if you do not essentially self-flagellate, right, you must hurt yourself to even things out.
01:29:19.400
Well, you can have people that we let set up a system that's unfair to you and that ought to even it out.
01:29:33.500
If we only can make things worse for you, that will help, but it will never solve it.
01:29:40.900
There will never be a time in which you've hurt yourself or taken enough beating to make it work.
01:29:47.360
That you will always still be, you know, I don't care if you grew up, you know, grew up in a trailer park with no money and no ability to get health care.
01:29:59.860
You're still more privileged than Denzel Washington.
01:30:03.500
And if you don't believe in that vision, then you're treated the same way as if you don't believe in every little bit of global warming.
01:30:15.360
How this stuff works on anybody who's actually trying to think it out, I don't know.
01:30:23.960
The only way to cure racism is with more racism.
01:30:29.580
They're just using the word discrimination instead of racism.
01:30:34.780
We did this thing on Studios America about the way this has happened.
01:30:41.420
And these terms like white privilege and white fragility and all this nonsense, like, doesn't it seem like out of nowhere this all just started popping up in your life?
01:30:55.520
Now, it had been bouncing around academic circles for a long time, but it never had any, you know, real attention.
01:31:07.500
Went back and tracked the usage of these terms in publications like the New York Times and the Washington Post.
01:31:14.420
And you see it is, you know, white privilege is at zero for all of history.
01:31:33.720
And it's like that with every one of these terms.
01:31:38.700
And you see the Times and the Post leading the charge.
01:31:41.080
And then you see even publications like the Wall Street Journal picking it up a couple years later and starting to increase it themselves.
01:31:48.460
And they have just taken these concepts, these bizarre concepts, and it relates directly to what they were doing with the 1619 project.
01:31:56.260
Where they're taking our history, and they're taking this alternative, ridiculous, untrue history of the United States that has been bouncing around academic circles for a while.
01:32:16.900
You're supposed to be, there's supposed to be facts.
01:32:18.580
You mean you want to talk about what really happened?
01:32:25.200
What thing makes, like, there's a story we were talking about a couple of months ago about this guy who is a hardcore leftist, okay?
01:32:39.520
And he posted, had the gall to post a study from an academic that said, hey guys, you know, when we protest racial issues, it does really well for politics.
01:32:52.460
However, when we burn down cities for racial issues, it does really bad for our politics.
01:32:59.780
Now, he didn't say maybe we shouldn't burn down cities.
01:33:04.660
The study said Democrats tend to have problems in elections when they start burning down cities.
01:33:18.800
He was thrown out of his liberal nerdy message board thing he was participating in.
01:33:24.520
And they fought about it and they said outwardly in these messages that were later leaked, they said outwardly things like, yes, we know the data says this, but how does it make people feel?
01:33:36.700
We shouldn't be, we should be considering how it makes people feel or how people may perceive the data rather than what the data actually says.
01:33:50.020
That's like saying two plus two equals four is something we shouldn't teach because it makes people uncomfortable.
01:33:55.560
And you know what's going to happen eventually, Pat?
01:33:58.380
Like medical diagnosis that people are like, well, you know what?
01:34:05.020
Hey, people are coming in and saying, hey, I need to treat this thing that is obviously in this little girl.
01:34:13.800
Well, the little boys don't have that part that's causing the problem.
01:34:24.480
The clip from, I think it was a Netflix show that had the doctors come into the hospital and be like, hey, we're going to get him all set with this treatment.
01:34:37.540
May I speak with you outside for just a moment?
01:34:41.000
I don't know what you're doing, but that is a little girl.
01:34:43.700
And talking down, the kid, talking down to the doctor about how the doctor doesn't know what gender the patient is.
01:35:00.120
Because, Pat, forever, forever, we've always had this nonsense going on.
01:35:03.760
But even the left would step back and say, they would deny it, right?
01:35:09.600
They would say, well, obviously, we know this is true, but they'd try to put a face on it.
01:35:15.940
They would say things like, the era of big government is over.
01:35:18.880
They wouldn't mean it, but they'd realize that the American people wanted to hear that, right?
01:35:23.700
They wanted to hear that they were self-sufficient.
01:35:25.600
They wanted to hear that they were people who were controlling their own destiny.
01:35:30.640
Even if they thought the people, you know, these evil Americans were racists, they didn't call them racists directly.
01:35:37.120
Now, every white person in America is racist, and half the white people in America agree with it.
01:35:48.960
All right, we all know identity theft is a big problem, especially in today's world.
01:35:55.160
We also know that it's become a lot worse in the internet age.
01:35:57.400
Cyber criminals roam the information superhighway, as my friend Al Gore would put it.
01:36:03.380
And they're just looking for ways to get into your computer or other devices and steal your information and try to make money off of it.
01:36:09.840
Of course, this comes with a whole host of different types of schemes.
01:36:13.920
Especially if you're at home, you're doing more meetings online.
01:36:26.040
What are you doing about the devices that the rest of your family uses?
01:36:31.940

And, of course, now we know that Disney is also racist.
01:37:23.520
According to John Boyega, you know who he is, right?
01:37:28.780
They're apparently racist because they just tossed aside his character and other minority characters because they were racist.
01:37:38.280
He portrayed, of course, this is the character Finn on Star Wars.
01:37:44.300
And part of, huge part of what, the last three movies, right?
01:37:52.580
He accused the company of not giving minority characters enough depth or character development while making white characters with more substance.
01:38:05.380
He made the comments in an interview with British GQ, which is where you want to go with all your racist claims, I think, for Disney and America.
01:38:15.240
You get yourself involved in projects and you're not necessarily going to like everything.
01:38:20.260
But I would say to Disney is what they should not do is bring out a black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are, and then have them pushed aside.
01:38:38.280
Here, Disney makes one of the main characters in the last three movies black and still that's, they're racist.
01:38:50.880
And they made one of the lead characters a woman.
01:38:54.400
Which was, you know, people talked about at the time.
01:38:58.040
Yeah, it's fascinating because, and by the way, we must at least acknowledge the bravery of John Boyega for doing this after the movies are over.
01:39:08.500
We stand up and applaud your bravery of taking all the money and complaining afterward.
01:39:17.300
I think he also complained about the Asian character that was in the.
01:39:20.620
He says, well, I'll take the deal when it's great experience.
01:39:29.020
He's the, it looks like the, I don't know, he looked like the Backstreet Boy.
01:39:44.600
Okay, so he, he's, he's just not happy with his character now.
01:39:59.480
He complained about, I think, the Asian character as well, who was not a good character.
01:40:05.220
I can't, I thought the name would be in the article.
01:40:08.760
But she was in a, she was in a short scene in one of the movies and then they, they tried to bring her back a couple of times.
01:40:14.880
Like sometimes the characters suck and you just got, you just got to bail on Jar Jar.
01:40:31.120
Is there an anti-Gungan sentiment in Star Wars?
01:40:36.280
There definitely is with me because I hated that character.
01:40:41.800
Like he was still walking around in the background every once in a while.
01:40:46.000
But like, I don't think that was the case with, with John Boyega.
01:40:48.200
He was one of the main characters in all those movies.
01:40:53.960
Why wouldn't they get me out of that last movie?
01:40:56.820
They should have, they should have removed me completely.
01:41:10.860
After Empire Strikes Back, New Hope, Return of the Jedi.
01:41:18.500
I'm not on board with the Pat Gray analysis on that one.
01:41:23.880
Because aren't the first three the, for you it's not even the first three, right?
01:41:31.180
I mean, it's just basically a bunch of Ewoks making noises.
01:41:37.520
I actually like the first one that they came out, I guess we never said.
01:41:44.060
No, the Force Awakens, which was the first J.J. Abrams one.
01:41:49.080
I think you weren't as hot on that one as I was.
01:41:56.300
That was the one that was, I mean, they ruined Luke Skywalker in that one.
01:42:04.080
But, you know, movies have been gone out of our lives for a long time.
01:42:10.020
The first real big blockbuster movie being re-released.
01:42:18.060
There's been a couple of other smaller releases that have come out, but this is the first one
01:42:24.240
I feel like I'm going to walk out having no idea what happened in it.
01:42:28.080
Are you worried about going or are you going to go?
01:42:37.760
Like the first week they opened theaters in like May, we went to one together.
01:42:41.340
We were the only two people in the entire building that didn't work there.
01:42:49.340
So no matter what goes on in the world, there are two things we can count on.
01:42:56.220
Using a pair of premium wireless earbuds, especially if you can get them at less than half the price
01:43:03.760
That's why I recommend and use wireless earbuds from Raycon.
01:43:08.080
Raycon's newest model, the everyday E25 earbuds, the best ones yet, with six hours of playtime
01:43:16.180
You'll get more bass than in previous models, a noise-isolating fit that really allows you
01:43:23.060
Raycon's E25s also have more compact design than ever.
01:43:26.280
They're stylish, discreet, no wires, no stems hanging out of your ears, ever.
01:43:29.880
Raycon was founded by Ray J and counts celebrities like Snoop Dogg and J.R.
01:43:35.080
They offer a 45-day return policy, so give them a try.
01:43:41.240
Limited time, 15% off Raycon wireless earbuds at buyraycon.com slash beck.
01:43:53.100
There's much more after the break on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:44:07.880
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:44:11.420
Pat, I've had a saga that's been going on in this program for multiple months now, and
01:44:19.600
The balloon that was up on the roof or up on the ceiling and you couldn't get it down for
01:44:26.680
I think it was over 100 days, if I remember right.
01:44:29.220
It was one of those helium balloons that got stuck in a place I couldn't reach.
01:44:32.880
And then after a while, I mean, I probably could have fashioned some sort of long stick
01:44:45.480
My wife thought it was funny for like a week, and then day 100 just wanted to kill me.
01:44:49.560
So, speaking of my wife, my wife ordered a, during the pandemic, we're in like mid-April,
01:44:58.340
society crumbling to the ground, as you may remember.
01:45:02.100
And we had some paper towels in our house, but apparently not enough.
01:45:07.940
Now, there's a certain amount of paper towels you need, the normal human family would need.
01:45:12.860
We already have more paper towels than that on a regular basis.
01:45:19.420
There's a zillion paper towel rolls, always available in case some are needed.
01:45:23.420
Well, because someday, they may run out of paper towels at the grocery store.
01:45:30.100
So, it was great that she had, I don't know, 12 rolls of paper towels ready to go.
01:45:35.420
However, when that got down to like six or eight, panic started, you know, coming in.
01:45:41.120
And it was, you could tell, this was making her very uncomfortable.
01:45:45.120
Now, I don't know if you did this, Pat, but I definitely did this, which was, we got into
01:45:50.420
the middle of the pandemic, and things were not happy.
01:45:53.800
Kids couldn't leave, couldn't see any of their friends.
01:46:03.080
And my kind of reaction to this process generally was just basically to spend money on things
01:46:11.720
So, like, I would just go, I would order something off of Amazon, like a toy that I thought could
01:46:19.440
And I was, you just, things like spending too much money on paper towels was not something
01:46:31.680
Like, how do we get through the next five days?
01:46:37.540
So, my wife, now there's no paper towels available anywhere at this point.
01:46:42.040
So, my wife apparently buys them from some Chinese scam website.
01:47:06.540
I almost did the same thing with the Clorox wipes.
01:47:15.140
And it was about $54 for, I think, two bottles of them.
01:47:21.380
And I'm not a person who opposes price gouging at all.
01:47:36.440
People stock up at a lower price than it is, than the market price.
01:47:43.080
People went into the store and they bought, before they started limiting the supply, people
01:47:47.100
would go in and buy 10, 20 rolls of it at the really normal, cheap price.
01:47:51.980
And then there would be none left for anyone else.
01:47:53.980
So the appropriate thing for a store to do would be to raise the price on paper towels
01:47:58.560
so that people would only buy what they needed.
01:48:00.580
And then it would actually be available for everyone.
01:48:03.000
However, the price gouging thing goes to the internet as well, where these sites pop up
01:48:07.420
and they charge $5.40 for a roll of paper towels, which is obviously ridiculous.
01:48:18.960
I don't want to spend that much, but we'll deal with it.
01:48:20.660
So the paper towels get ordered and are shipped on April 19th.
01:48:40.880
So the paper towels are now back in the stores.
01:48:49.540
So my wife has tried to contact these people multiple times to say, hey, send the freaking
01:49:14.140
Why do you buy things online with a credit card and not a debit card?
01:49:17.920
Because you're getting basic consumer protections.
01:49:21.400
And I can't, I don't know that we've ever challenged a charge before, except for like
01:49:27.780
Someone ran up a thousand dollar charge on my card.
01:49:31.240
But like, I've never done it in any other case.
01:49:33.540
This one was just so egregious that I was like, let's just, you know, fight it at the
01:49:38.840
So we put in a dispute with the credit card company.
01:49:42.260
Lo and behold, three weeks later, the paper towels show up.
01:49:47.480
Now, we're already, now, just in the fact that they came so late and only were sent blatantly
01:49:52.220
after we disputed it with the credit card company.
01:49:54.780
To me, that's already, they've already laid down.
01:50:01.700
However, what actually came was not 10 rolls of bounty paper towels, giant size, select
01:50:22.900
What you see here is two, four, six, eight, 10.
01:50:31.600
They are not giant size, as they are smaller than my hand.
01:50:38.160
When you open them up, because I've opened up the other package, they are toilet paper.
01:50:41.820
So they sent me 10 mini rolls of toilet paper with no cardboard tube in the middle.
01:50:47.400
Just 10 mini rolls of toilet paper that are not bounty brand.
01:51:00.960
So to me, pretty good argument to go to Capital One and say, hey, Capital One, obviously this
01:51:12.400
So I turn that in with the order from the company and the picture of the toilet paper
01:51:20.040
Apparently, of course, the Chinese scam company, because it's their entire business line, starts
01:51:26.080
disputing the charge and saying they did send it to me.
01:51:32.080
To give you perspective, if you're listening on radio, there are 10 rolls here of the tiny
01:51:37.120
It's about as big a roll as one paper towel roll.
01:51:45.640
But they're not even a normal toilet paper roll.
01:51:51.120
And it's not Bounty, which is like a name brand.
01:51:53.980
You can't just be like, oh, I ordered Coca-Cola and they send you a generic cola.
01:52:03.860
Well, I ordered a Ford automobile and they gave me a Fiat.
01:52:12.880
Any human being would look at it and say it's a scam.
01:52:19.300
And it's a ridiculous amount of time they ask me to spend on this to try to get this
01:52:24.800
But I'm doing it somewhat just because I think it's funny.
01:52:38.320
They send me another letter that legitimately tells me, Pat, that I have to go and get a
01:52:44.040
second party opinion from a competing paper towel company on company letterhead to tell
01:52:52.320
me that this is not giant rolls of paper towels.
01:52:55.920
Now, they're smaller than my hand and it's toilet paper.
01:53:01.060
So, I go to Capital One and I say, hey, Capital One.
01:53:06.700
The last letter I wrote was potentially a little curt, I would say.
01:53:11.680
No, I would have been more than a little curt by then.
01:53:14.000
I said, look, I don't know what the process is for me to go to a competing paper towel
01:53:25.720
I don't know how they would describe to you more than the picture I've already given you
01:53:31.000
that this is not, these are not bounty paper towels.
01:53:37.100
And I said, it is my opinion that 100% of all human beings that have engaged in the
01:53:42.980
modern economy would be able to tell that these are not bounty paper towels.
01:54:04.780
Oh, so I said to them in the letter, I said, look, I understand...
01:54:09.800
...that there are people who are scamming your company.
01:54:13.240
I mean, this must be happening to them thousands of times a day.
01:54:15.580
So what they're doing is they're just saying no to all their customers, so they're getting
01:54:20.620
And then, you know, most people are just going to give up.
01:54:29.580
So that's why they, of course, gum up the process and make it as miserable as possible
01:54:35.680
And basically, they've just come up with a policy that says we are not going to protect
01:54:39.360
our customers, even in the most obvious circumstances.
01:54:45.660
I have the document from them that says Bounty right on it with the logo.
01:54:51.980
So, but again, like, and I said to them, I'm like, look, if you can't provide the most
01:54:55.860
basic protections, obviously I should just take all my accounts and my cards and just
01:55:01.640
So, I mean, to me, that's a good outcome in that that's what I'm going to do.
01:55:04.760
And I'll get rid of Capital One out of my life for the rest of it because obviously they
01:55:08.240
don't even do the most basic thing they promise.
01:55:10.860
However, this has a much happier ending than that because I have, we talked about this on
01:55:16.580
the air a couple of weeks ago and we made Glenn decided, you know what you can do with
01:55:22.700
So we made toilet paper masks out of a couple of the sheets of the toilet paper and we're
01:55:28.320
And we're like, maybe we can just sell this and we can make more money than the $54 back.
01:55:33.300
So one of our great listeners, Taylor, got prompted to do something about it.
01:55:37.780
And we have now sold these ridiculous rolls of toilet paper that are not Bounty Paper Towels
01:55:44.180
And we have sold them for a $3,000 donation to Mercury One.
01:55:52.860
This ridiculous scam company is going to actually be helped out by one of our awesome listeners.
01:56:03.660
I get a little bit of a fee on top of it, I assume.
01:56:07.180
I'll trade a $54 crappy paper towel scam for a $3,000 donation to Mercury One any day.
01:56:28.700
I'm no Glenn Beck, but I got a decent amount of money with these people.
01:56:31.760
And they're going to toss the entire line of business over a $54 scam that is obviously
01:56:37.180
It's not like I'm turning in a dispute every two weeks and fighting, you know, I swear
01:56:46.980
So pathetic job by them, but turns out into a good thing.
01:57:08.740
Got something you can do right now that'll save you a ton of money.
01:57:11.620

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.
01:58:20.960
So the moral of the story is don't do business with Capital One, I guess, and don't do business
01:58:27.260
with the scam Chinese company that's trying to sell bounty paper towels that aren't bounty
01:58:32.340
paper towels, but some little teeny toilet paper roll company.
01:58:36.840
I will say, and we're in the business of helping people.
01:58:39.860
If you do happen to run a Chinese scam company, you should encourage purchases with Capital
01:59:00.440
I think the New York Times wrote a story about it a couple weeks ago.
01:59:07.020
They thought it was going to be summer, and now it looks like 2021.
01:59:09.500
And I guess they are making a lot of them, but a lot of them are going to, everyone's
01:59:16.260
And so they're going to a lot of medical facilities and corporations and stuff, and
01:59:19.880
They can't keep them in grocery stores or even get them to grocery stores.
01:59:43.640
The Clorox wipe with the same material that they make a lot of the PPE out of.
01:59:50.020
So they just don't have enough of the material to make the actual wipes.
01:59:56.720
But, I mean, I guess, obviously, it's a better outcome.
01:59:59.880
I will say, the cleaning thing is going to ridiculous extremes.
02:00:06.140
You know, kids go to a camp, and there's like a gym there, and they have the stupid treadmills.
02:00:14.420
You have the little screen in front of you, right?
02:00:16.220
It would make sense to clean the screen in front of you, the handlebars on the side.
02:00:19.860
Maybe you even clean the place where you step on, although that seems completely absurd
02:00:26.180
They clean the area in front of where your feet are, in front of the actual treadmill,
02:00:32.800
which is on the other side, which no human being touches.
02:00:37.220
It's like impossible for you to get there to get the virus from it.
02:00:40.700
You'd have to like bend over and like dive down and...
02:00:50.820
But that's what people are doing now to make everyone feel safe.
02:00:53.920
They're making sure they clean now in front of you instead of in the off hours.
02:01:05.280
I mean, they discontinually cleaning in front of me, and I can't remember what point,
02:01:09.720
but yes, a lot of cleaning is going on right now.
