00:00:00.000 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:00:02.520 We've got a jam-packed show today.
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.
00:00:16.720 There's that.
00:00:18.320 Is Australia still a free country?
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.
00:00:37.780 We'll flesh that out a bit.
00:00:39.880 And much more coming up in 60 seconds.
00:00:47.160 This is the Glenn Beck program.
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?
00:01:01.840 Everything's scary these days.
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 When they get on Wi-Fi, it's up to you to make sure that that does not happen.
00:01:24.000 Cybercrime is growing steadily.
00:01:25.480 It's certainly not shrinking.
00:01:27.020 And it's important to fight it.

00:02:07.800 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:24.480 888-727-BECK.
00:02:27.360 Looks like Dr. Fauci.
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.
00:02:35.880 Wait, really?
00:02:36.440 Isn't he?
00:02:37.140 Yeah.
00:02:37.860 He and Dr. Birx are both out, at least according to this article that I have.
00:02:46.600 Okay.
00:02:47.440 That just happened?
00:02:48.700 I heard an interview with one of them today.
00:02:50.620 Really?
00:02:51.240 Yeah.
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.
00:03:12.680 And he's not an epidemiologist.
00:03:14.380 Yeah.
00:03:14.620 Or an infectious disease guy.
00:03:16.120 Yeah.
00:03:16.580 Yes.
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.
00:03:29.340 That's what they mean by being out.
00:03:31.220 Yeah.
00:03:31.360 I don't think.
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.
00:03:37.800 Yes.
00:03:38.160 That does seem.
00:03:38.940 Yeah.
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.
00:03:50.260 He's less into the mask thing.
00:03:52.080 He said there's not really proof that that works.
00:03:54.460 To me, that seems kind of true.
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.
00:04:14.220 There was an outbreak there.
00:04:15.900 And, you know, you think this is worst case scenario, right, for a virus.
00:04:19.760 Like, you're, it's military, combined place.
00:04:22.640 Everyone's close together, nowhere to go.
00:04:24.660 You're on a ship, really nowhere to go.
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%.
00:04:40.180 So, it definitely made a difference.
00:04:43.540 Yeah, there's some, I mean, there's.
00:04:44.580 And it was the biggest difference that they could find in that scenario.
00:04:47.280 So, it was more than social distancing.
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.
00:05:05.880 They've made it seem like, just wear a mask.
00:05:08.880 Just wear a mask.
00:05:09.980 You can't even wear a mask.
00:05:11.220 This is because you want to kill grandma.
00:05:12.920 Just wear a freaking mask.
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.
00:05:27.580 And you still might get it.
00:05:28.560 And you still might get it.
00:05:29.240 You don't know.
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.
00:06:11.120 Right.
00:06:11.380 She wouldn't raise her fist in, like, the Black Power salute.
00:06:16.820 Right, yeah.
00:06:17.240 Oh, yeah, that was really bad.
00:06:18.480 Some of them got right in her face.
00:06:20.820 Right in her face in the middle of the pandemic.
00:06:22.560 Yeah.
00:06:22.980 Yes.
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?
00:06:29.960 I think so, yeah.
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?
00:06:46.640 All these things that happen at the rallies.
00:06:48.260 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.
00:06:56.940 Here's what I try to do.
00:06:58.300 Stay away from people with the disease.
00:07:01.100 That's what I do.
00:07:02.120 And so, so far, it's worked pretty well.
00:07:04.500 It has worked pretty well.
00:07:05.520 In fact, you mentioned to Glenn, who was like, I'm going to come in tomorrow.
00:07:10.660 Yes.
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.
00:07:14.860 Maybe you shouldn't.
00:07:15.740 Maybe you shouldn't.
00:07:16.980 I want to rethink that just a little bit.
00:07:19.720 I mean, look, the asymptomatic thing obviously complicates this.
00:07:22.840 It does.
00:07:23.440 They make this out to be this.
00:07:27.280 It's a supplement for saying, I don't like Trump supporters.
00:07:30.600 Right.
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.
00:07:43.720 If you can do it, it's great.
00:07:45.940 Do it.
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.
00:07:54.540 If it was, then we wouldn't need a vaccine.
00:07:57.200 Right.
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.
00:08:03.440 Right.
00:08:03.640 Yeah.
00:08:03.760 It's just, frankly, not a complete solution.
00:08:07.200 It might help.
00:08:08.300 So, I mean, you know, that's the thing.
00:08:10.160 I always think of it this way.
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
00:08:28.320 it helps, we're going to mandate it.
00:08:30.260 Right.
00:08:30.500 Like, they're going to mandate it immediately.
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.
00:08:42.000 Right.
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
00:09:00.580 on your own.
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.
00:09:11.500 Everything is a government solution.
00:09:13.420 The only way you can solve a problem in this society, according to most people in the media,
00:09:19.180 is to have it mandated.
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
00:09:28.200 things.
00:09:28.700 Yeah.
00:09:29.380 Yes.
00:09:29.580 Like, what on earth?
00:09:32.260 That doesn't make any sense at all.
00:09:33.540 Absolutely nuts.
00:09:35.460 And I think the only way that you're supposed to handle this as an American is to be completely
00:09:40.760 panicked like they are.
00:09:42.400 You see the reaction to Kirk Cousins?
00:09:44.520 Because he made the statement he made, which was, yeah, I'm not that afraid of it.
00:09:49.520 Basically, that's what he said.
00:09:50.600 I'm not that afraid of it.
00:09:51.580 If I get it, I get it.
00:09:52.580 If I die, I die.
00:09:53.800 Yes.
00:09:54.040 And they're taking him apart because of that.
00:09:58.080 Can't have any disagreement, Pat.
00:09:59.580 I can't have anybody who...
00:10:00.780 You absolutely have to panic over it.
00:10:03.520 You have to.
00:10:04.300 You can't just, you know, you can't just have a different opinion.
00:10:08.060 Right.
00:10:08.620 It's impossible.
00:10:09.620 Right.
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.
00:10:15.820 They're going to still have to pay him.
00:10:17.000 Right.
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
00:10:26.420 probably keep him home.
00:10:27.960 Like, everybody realizes...
00:10:28.560 Mm-hmm.
00:10:29.300 That's the other part of this that's really frustrating.
00:10:32.360 Is that, like, if you...
00:10:34.240 Taking a few precautions is better than taking none.
00:10:38.040 Right?
00:10:38.560 Yeah.
00:10:38.760 So, like, they make it seem like if you're not perfect in doing everything that they say
00:10:42.640 you're supposed to do...
00:10:43.940 Then you're killing people.
00:10:44.540 Then you're killing people.
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.
00:10:53.880 I'm totally cool with that.
00:10:54.700 I don't need to be right up in somebody's face and smell their weird garlic breath every
00:10:58.400 time I talk to them.
00:10:59.060 I'll stand six feet back.
00:11:00.080 I'm fine with that.
00:11:01.240 When you assault people on every one of these little safety precautions, they just say,
00:11:06.920 screw off.
00:11:08.040 They say, screw you.
00:11:08.720 I'm not going to do any of it now.
00:11:09.960 Mm-hmm.
00:11:10.440 And that makes it worse.
00:11:11.920 Not better.
00:11:12.520 Worse.
00:11:12.700 Right.
00:11:13.120 But it doesn't seem like they actually care.
00:11:14.520 If they cared, they'd be yelling at the protesters and saying, what the hell is that?
00:11:18.060 What the hell are you guys doing?
00:11:18.980 Why are you having 50,000 people on the mall?
00:11:23.380 Why are you doing that?
00:11:24.560 You can't do that.
00:11:25.280 This is a pandemic we're in the middle of.
00:11:27.160 They yelled at all the bikers who went to South Dakota.
00:11:29.520 Sure did.
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.
00:11:36.940 All they were doing is clapping.
00:11:39.300 You know, if you're silent, there's a much bigger reduction in the chance of you spreading
00:11:44.800 this virus.
00:11:45.920 So, but they don't care.
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.
00:12:12.900 They don't care.
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?
00:12:28.500 It's almost impossible.
00:12:30.100 They obviously don't mean these things.
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
00:12:41.140 everyone can go.
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
00:12:53.400 hard.
00:12:53.680 And they don't care.
00:12:54.500 They don't care.
00:12:55.080 Nancy Pelosi just turned this on the salon owner.
00:12:58.440 It's her fault now.
00:12:59.460 She's the victim.
00:13:00.520 She was set up.
00:13:01.580 I like the setup argument.
00:13:02.780 I mean, that's...
00:13:03.320 That can get you out of anything.
00:13:05.040 I was set up.
00:13:06.120 You were set up.
00:13:07.120 Didn't your assistant call them to see if they could do your hair?
00:13:10.880 What do you mean you're set up?
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
00:13:23.900 here for years.
00:13:24.980 Oh, that's because she's a liar?
00:13:26.560 Yeah, exactly right.
00:13:27.580 Yeah, yeah.
00:13:28.020 She just lies.
00:13:29.080 Whatever things she says.
00:13:30.400 She's a lying sack, like all Democrats are.
00:13:33.320 Most politicians, actually, but more so with these Democrats.
00:13:37.360 It's unbelievable.
00:13:38.500 Yeah, and Nancy Pelosi is incomprehensible.
00:13:41.680 I mean, the level, she has literally no...
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
00:13:52.500 if I should be saying this.
00:13:53.640 Yeah.
00:13:53.920 She has none of that.
00:13:54.500 Just for fear of getting caught, even.
00:13:56.460 No.
00:13:56.600 She doesn't even have that.
00:13:57.580 Nope.
00:13:57.700 She doesn't care.
00:13:58.240 If she gets caught, she just lies more.
00:14:00.540 Yep.
00:14:01.320 That's all she has to do.
00:14:02.040 And everyone covers for her.
00:14:03.300 Yeah.
00:14:03.940 But I...
00:14:04.560 Like this one's really bad, right?
00:14:06.400 She's torching a business.
00:14:08.140 Yeah.
00:14:08.260 She's trying to ruin it.
00:14:09.560 Now, look, I can understand completely what the salon owner did here.
00:14:13.520 You know, you know what?
00:14:14.520 I'll let it happen, and I'll watch.
00:14:15.980 I mean, because you can even make the argument that you can get a haircut in an empty salon,
00:14:22.200 right?
00:14:22.460 I mean, like, look, I don't think they should be closed in the first place, but...
00:14:26.300 But they're not supposed to.
00:14:27.420 They're supposed to cut their hair only outside, which I've never seen in an outdoor salon.
00:14:30.800 No.
00:14:31.160 Are there a lot of them?
00:14:32.720 Because...
00:14:33.240 I don't think so.
00:14:33.840 I don't think I've ever been to one.
00:14:35.040 It's a little bit of a retrofit for this era, I suppose.
00:14:37.320 Yeah.
00:14:37.420 I mean, I guess it wouldn't really...
00:14:39.620 If it wasn't windy, it wouldn't be a problem for them to cut it outside.
00:14:42.700 But other than that, I've never seen one.
00:14:44.360 No, but I've just never seen it.
00:14:44.960 Me neither.
00:14:45.480 I'm with you on that.
00:14:46.640 But, like, why wouldn't you wear a mask?
00:14:51.020 Like, you couldn't get away with saying, okay, I'm going to go to one of these places
00:14:54.740 if there's only one person in there.
00:14:56.220 But why wouldn't you wear a mask?
00:14:58.100 And again, she wasn't wearing it even coming in the door, as far as I understand.
00:15:01.440 Right.
00:15:01.860 Now, she's walking around inside.
00:15:03.880 She doesn't wear it coming in the door.
00:15:05.440 It's because she is better than you.
00:15:08.400 Right.
00:15:08.640 Exactly.
00:15:09.160 That's why.
00:15:09.260 That's the only reason.
00:15:10.440 She, in her head, gets to do whatever the hell she wants because she's better than you.
00:15:14.360 Yes.
00:15:15.020 She is a superior being.
00:15:16.980 Like, legitimately, this is what this woman thinks.
00:15:20.640 Yeah.
00:15:21.400 We'll have to play what she had to say yesterday.
00:15:23.900 We'll do that coming up in 60 seconds.

00:16:02.720 On September 18th, don't miss Infidel, the new heart-pounding political thriller inspired by true events.
00:16:08.780 You are an American spy.
00:16:10.760 What?
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.
00:16:16.880 Wait a lot!
00:16:17.540 And his wife's courage to never give up on him.
00:16:20.140 This is terrorism.
00:16:20.900 When his country abandoned him, his freedom became her mission.
00:16:24.620 I came here to plead for his life.
00:16:26.360 Starring Jim Caviezel.
00:16:27.960 Do your job.
00:16:29.520 See Infidel.
00:16:30.880 Only in theaters September 18th.
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.
00:16:53.720 She was asked about the salon visit.
00:16:57.420 Here's what she had to say.
00:16:58.500 No, I've been there over the years.
00:17:02.820 I've been there many times.
00:17:03.960 I appreciate the question.
00:17:06.860 And let me just say this.
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.
00:17:27.380 As it turns out, it was a setup.
00:17:30.000 So I take responsibility for falling for a setup.
00:17:33.300 And that's all I'm going to say on that.
00:17:35.460 That's absolutely pathetic.
00:17:37.100 Anything else?
00:17:37.980 Excuse me?
00:17:46.120 Well, I don't.
00:17:47.500 I think that they owe me.
00:17:48.820 That this salon owes me an apology for setting up.
00:17:52.200 Because she's the victim now.
00:17:54.420 It's not amazing.
00:17:55.200 She's the victim here.
00:17:57.740 She effectively turned it all around to where she is the victim, the unknowing person who just trusted too much.
00:18:04.780 And that's what she takes responsibility for.
00:18:07.600 Okay.
00:18:08.160 I mean, I think effectively might be misused in that.
00:18:10.680 I don't think it was very effective.
00:18:12.260 No, that's true.
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.
00:18:18.200 Obviously, this is a huge setup.
00:18:19.820 A setup because, you know, I can't.
00:18:21.920 This happened to me.
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.
00:18:29.060 I was walking around town.
00:18:30.080 You know what it is?
00:18:31.060 It is those predatory stylists.
00:18:34.960 Yes.
00:18:35.500 Yes.
00:18:35.940 You've seen them.
00:18:37.180 Predatory stylists.
00:18:37.860 I've seen them a million times.
00:18:39.520 I'm terrified of them.
00:18:40.680 Like, you'll be walking down.
00:18:42.080 I want to go to McDonald's.
00:18:43.420 I'm about to walk into McDonald's.
00:18:45.740 White van pulls up.
00:18:47.800 Door swings open.
00:18:49.140 Grab me with both hands.
00:18:50.260 Toss me in the back.
00:18:51.140 All of a sudden, you're in a salon.
00:18:52.240 All of a sudden, I'm in the salon.
00:18:53.380 I wake up.
00:18:53.840 Your hair is being washed.
00:18:54.740 Yep.
00:18:55.040 It's being washed.
00:18:55.940 You're like, what the hell?
00:18:57.020 A little scalp massage.
00:18:57.940 Are they going to give me a haircut now?
00:18:59.280 Oh, my gosh.
00:18:59.900 Yeah.
00:19:00.420 Yeah.
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.
00:19:06.820 Oh, yeah.
00:19:07.180 Yeah.
00:19:07.460 The predatory loan is another thing that I just am terrified of.
00:19:11.040 Oh, my gosh.
00:19:11.540 I had a guy.
00:19:12.800 I walked into a bank one time.
00:19:14.020 They just started throwing money at me.
00:19:15.720 Oh, my gosh.
00:19:16.220 And I was like, wait, I don't want a loan.
00:19:17.960 Right.
00:19:18.160 They just kept throwing the money at me.
00:19:19.700 You have to have one.
00:19:20.400 Yeah.
00:19:21.040 That was evil.
00:19:22.500 Scary.
00:19:22.940 That was evil.
00:19:23.700 It's just plain scary.
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.
00:19:31.580 You have to take it.
00:19:32.440 Of course, you'll have to pay us back at a massive interest rate because we are predators after all.
00:19:37.400 Right.
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.
00:19:43.780 So, I obviously signed.
00:19:45.040 You had to sign.
00:19:45.640 I had to sign it.
00:19:46.460 Yeah.
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.
00:19:52.640 Yeah.
00:19:53.020 Right.
00:19:53.620 Just like the just like these salons, you know, the salons, you know, who else does this kind
00:19:58.860 of stuff for the college president?
00:20:00.340 Sometimes they'll kidnap you and make you go to their college and pay a lot of tuition.
00:20:04.680 Oh, you're kidding me.
00:20:05.280 Yeah.
00:20:05.380 And then you got tuition to pay off the rest of your life.
00:20:07.420 Right.
00:20:07.820 Yeah.
00:20:08.040 That happens, too.
00:20:08.960 So all the time.
00:20:09.940 All of these things are so frightening.
00:20:13.580 This is why we need loan forgiveness.
00:20:15.140 It is.
00:20:15.600 You know, and free college.
00:20:16.720 Yes.
00:20:17.060 Because people are unable to avoid going to four years of college.
00:20:20.720 And now we need free salons.
00:20:22.280 Yep.
00:20:22.920 Because they're coming and kidnapping us and putting us in the chair.
00:20:25.820 These bastards.
00:20:26.720 I hate them.
00:20:27.500 See?
00:20:28.240 Eat them.
00:20:30.280 Like, how does anyone believe this?
00:20:33.540 I don't think anyone does with Pelosi.
00:20:34.900 I hope they don't.
00:20:35.740 I don't think anybody does.
00:20:36.360 I mean, I think Democrats do, right?
00:20:38.180 Don't they just accept it?
00:20:39.280 I don't think so.
00:20:39.840 I think they know.
00:20:40.760 Look, she's better.
00:20:41.700 She gets to do whatever she wants.
00:20:42.740 She's a politician.
00:20:43.760 I mean, when you believe the progressive mindset, you believe there are different classes of
00:20:47.580 people.
00:20:48.060 And some people get more rights than others.
00:20:50.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:20:54.360 Oh, the world is fun right now.
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
00:21:07.400 throughout the day.
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.
00:21:17.120 And they're having huge success with this.
00:21:19.020 It's called the Tempantos.
00:21:20.220 It's the first paper thermometer strip available for retail.
00:21:23.200 There's no mylar.
00:21:24.120 There's no battery.
00:21:25.380 Everything is assembled by adults with disabilities.
00:21:28.460 And this is a really cool thing that they do.
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.
00:21:46.700 It's a big pain.
00:21:48.180 They made it very easy.
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.
00:21:59.200 And you can get major retailers as well.
00:22:01.780 Email them at support at Tempagenics.com.
00:22:03.900 Support at Tempagenics.com.
00:22:07.540 Check out my show, won't you?
00:22:08.900 Pat Gray Unleashed.
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.
00:22:46.260 No way.
00:22:46.860 They did not.
00:22:47.580 No, they did.
00:22:48.140 They did?
00:22:48.700 Yeah.
00:22:48.980 First access on Friday.
00:22:50.840 Wow.
00:22:51.320 Now, they've now released it everywhere and you can see it.
00:22:53.900 Hardware stores?
00:22:54.720 Can I see it at a hardware store if I want to or a shoe store?
00:22:58.260 Is a shoe store a place?
00:23:00.080 Yes, it is.
00:23:00.940 Well, then you can see it there.
00:23:02.020 Oh, okay.
00:23:02.560 It's everywhere.
00:23:03.360 That's where I'd like to see it.
00:23:04.460 At a payless shoe store.
00:23:05.260 Really?
00:23:05.440 Yeah.
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.
00:23:12.020 Really?
00:23:12.300 Yeah.
00:23:12.720 Yeah, I love it.
00:23:13.760 I love it.
00:23:14.160 It's just so we understand.
00:23:14.900 I just sit there and try on shoes while I watch documentaries.
00:23:18.760 Really?
00:23:18.960 Yeah.
00:23:19.120 Really?
00:23:19.420 It's awesome.
00:23:20.200 You should try it.
00:23:21.380 You should try it sometime.
00:23:22.280 I guess.
00:23:22.740 I never really thought of trying it.
00:23:24.000 Maybe come watch this one with me at the payless.
00:23:25.700 I would love to.
00:23:26.620 Okay.
00:23:26.980 We'd have to go to youtube.com slash clarionproject.org though.
00:23:30.280 Okay.
00:23:30.560 Can we do that?
00:23:31.060 Is that okay?
00:23:31.620 Yeah, sure.
00:23:32.080 All right.
00:23:32.260 We'll do that.
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.
00:23:40.880 It's available on blaze TV.
00:23:42.220 Use the promo code big tech and you go to go to the Glenn TV show page to see covert
00:23:47.880 cash.
00:23:48.540 You can check it out anytime this weekend at any payless location.
00:23:52.200 You can just walk in.
00:23:53.480 Or your nearby Ace Hardware store.
00:23:55.420 Really?
00:23:55.800 Yeah.
00:23:56.340 Yeah.
00:23:56.540 I feel like at least pay less.
00:23:57.660 You have a place to sit.
00:23:59.320 Ace Hardware.
00:24:00.000 What do you do?
00:24:00.520 You're at the hammer section?
00:24:01.860 Yeah.
00:24:02.220 You can.
00:24:03.040 You can watch it from the hammer section or, you know, the lawn chairs sometimes.
00:24:07.600 There's a lawn.
00:24:08.260 There might be a lawn chair in there.
00:24:09.380 Okay.
00:24:09.820 Yeah.
00:24:10.100 Lawn chairs might be.
00:24:10.700 They do sell some equipment like that.
00:24:12.040 That's a much better option than the hammer section.
00:24:14.340 I think so.
00:24:14.760 Thank you.
00:24:16.480 Did you read about Elon Musk planning to build a glorious city on Mars?
00:24:21.540 I love this guy's.
00:24:22.640 I love his ambition.
00:24:24.100 I really do.
00:24:24.640 It's infectious.
00:24:25.700 Like, he really, he makes you believe that we're going to do all these things.
00:24:30.480 That within a few years.
00:24:32.000 I think he's sticking to his plan.
00:24:35.540 2024, right?
00:24:37.000 2024 is the Mars shot?
00:24:39.620 Or 2024 might be the moon and 2028 or 2030 might be Mars.
00:24:45.620 I don't know.
00:24:46.000 Anyway, it's a really, it's a short timetable because does it feel like we're ready to go
00:24:52.320 to Mars yet?
00:24:53.160 It really doesn't.
00:24:54.040 I don't, to me at least.
00:24:55.340 Yeah.
00:24:55.900 Mars or the moon or really anywhere.
00:24:58.020 No, it does not seem like it.
00:25:00.280 It does not seem like something that's going to be right around the corner.
00:25:03.260 No, it doesn't at all.
00:25:04.620 They're doing amazing things.
00:25:05.680 They are.
00:25:06.080 And it's obviously possible.
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
00:25:13.880 to it now.
00:25:14.520 And he is talking about these rocket ships.
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.
00:25:31.120 Not even, not even a place dependent on Earth.
00:25:34.180 It's going to be Mars sustainable.
00:25:36.160 And he wants to have a million human beings living on Mars by, I believe, 20, yeah, 2050.
00:25:46.640 By 2050.
00:25:47.660 So he can take a hundred people at a time.
00:25:50.620 It'd be three flights a day for nine or 10 years.
00:25:55.160 And we'd have a million people on Mars.
00:25:57.020 There is one drawback.
00:25:59.900 There's one slight drawback.
00:26:02.460 Okay.
00:26:03.140 The first bunch of groups of people who go will probably die.
00:26:07.920 So it's a one-way trip.
00:26:09.780 You're going to be dead after you get there.
00:26:11.460 Well, everyone's going to die.
00:26:12.960 Yes.
00:26:13.400 But I mean, quickly.
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?
00:26:22.860 To start a colony on Mars.
00:26:24.680 It's actually quite a big price to pay.
00:26:27.120 You think?
00:26:28.200 Yeah.
00:26:28.720 Do you really?
00:26:29.440 I feel like it's one of the biggest prices to pay.
00:26:34.120 So you still think that human life has value?
00:26:37.580 Oh, that's right.
00:26:38.380 That's my problem.
00:26:38.980 Wow.
00:26:39.280 That's my problem.
00:26:39.920 That's weird.
00:26:40.560 Yeah.
00:26:40.940 I've been thinking that maybe, I don't know, even unborn human life had some value.
00:26:45.100 What?
00:26:45.160 So that's really crazy.
00:26:46.020 I'm way out on a limb on that one.
00:26:47.320 Wow.
00:26:48.120 It's funny.
00:26:48.640 I was watching some social media feed, I think, from Steven Crowder, who's on Blaze
00:26:53.880 TV.
00:26:54.400 I was watching his show on Blaze TV.
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
00:27:03.860 and says, change my mind.
00:27:05.220 Well, this was sort of the reverse of that, where he, it said something about, changed my
00:27:09.660 mind.
00:27:10.540 And it was about Tesla.
00:27:12.160 And he was talking, he had clips of him joking about Tesla and mocking the cars and everything.
00:27:16.440 And then it had him driving in one.
00:27:18.960 And at least the insinuation was, I didn't see the whole segment, but it was the insinuation
00:27:21.680 was, he drove it.
00:27:22.460 He was like, this is pretty great.
00:27:23.740 We went through that same transition.
00:27:25.500 The same thing.
00:27:26.180 Same exact transition.
00:27:27.560 We had the same experience.
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.
00:27:35.360 Look at this dope.
00:27:36.420 And they're a little stupid Tesla.
00:27:38.000 And at the same time, like, knowing we drove this thing, it was the most amazing thing
00:27:43.600 I've ever driven in my life.
00:27:44.860 Yeah.
00:27:45.000 I mean, you know, it is incredibly fast.
00:27:48.020 You feel like you're in a spaceship.
00:27:49.580 Yes.
00:27:50.040 They're updating the technology all the time.
00:27:52.040 All the time.
00:27:52.560 And it just happens, like, it happens automatically, kind of, because it's downloaded to your car.
00:27:56.260 Yeah.
00:27:56.360 One day your car just goes faster.
00:27:58.540 It's an amazing.
00:27:59.560 Wait, what?
00:27:59.980 It's amazing.
00:28:00.820 It really is.
00:28:01.420 Yeah.
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
00:28:08.280 control aspect.
00:28:08.840 I believe that.
00:28:09.620 Because they, you know.
00:28:10.440 Yeah.
00:28:10.860 They're bound to, right?
00:28:11.840 Because it's really high tech.
00:28:13.260 So, they're going to have some issues.
00:28:15.600 But it's a, I mean, you've got that great big screen.
00:28:19.440 You've got the cool, sleek look of the car.
00:28:21.660 And it goes zero to 60 in less than three seconds, I think.
00:28:25.420 I mean, it's, they're pretty amazing.
00:28:27.580 They're pretty amazing.
00:28:28.320 It's done some cool things.
00:28:29.480 Yeah.
00:28:29.700 It really is.
00:28:30.400 And Tesla's like the, I think the second biggest, by market cap, the second or first
00:28:36.460 biggest car company.
00:28:37.860 First.
00:28:38.620 Is it first?
00:28:39.380 Yeah.
00:28:39.400 It's past Toyota.
00:28:40.400 Yeah.
00:28:40.920 Just past Toyota a couple weeks ago.
00:28:42.900 Like, that's out of control.
00:28:45.100 It's amazing.
00:28:45.420 There's just, I mean.
00:28:46.620 They don't sell anywhere near the volume that Toyota or Ford, GM, anybody sells.
00:28:53.760 Yeah.
00:28:54.260 And yet, it's more valuable than those companies.
00:28:56.780 And obviously, people are projecting the future.
00:28:59.080 Yeah.
00:28:59.400 And their stuff is great, but I still don't know that I see that as the ultimate solution.
00:29:04.920 But whatever.
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
00:29:15.460 company to try to solve the climate crisis.
00:29:18.100 He's actually sending people to Mars so that we can figure out a way to get off this planet
00:29:23.760 in case the climate gets so bad.
00:29:25.300 That's how liberal the guy is.
00:29:27.000 Yes.
00:29:27.260 But the fact that he wanted to open up his own freaking factory against government edict
00:29:32.620 made him some crazy right winger.
00:29:34.540 It turned the left against him.
00:29:36.140 Yep.
00:29:36.800 Now they hate him.
00:29:38.000 Now they hate him.
00:29:39.040 Because, because why?
00:29:40.640 Because he wanted to open up his own factory.
00:29:43.040 Right.
00:29:43.500 He wanted to make money again.
00:29:44.840 Sorry.
00:29:45.680 Wanted to produce cars for people who want him.
00:29:48.120 Oh, what a horrible thing to do.
00:29:49.960 I know.
00:29:50.460 And you know, he can't be Mr.
00:29:51.880 I'm going to save the climate unless people are actually doing the thing that they're supposed
00:29:55.160 to be doing at the factory.
00:29:56.460 Yes.
00:29:57.160 Right.
00:29:57.340 But I, and I was told quite clearly the biggest threat to us was, was the climate change situation.
00:30:03.200 Oh, multiple times by multiple people.
00:30:05.540 Not a pandemic.
00:30:06.240 Right.
00:30:06.900 No.
00:30:07.340 That's right.
00:30:07.560 That was never any, that was George Bush's concern.
00:30:10.100 That was not the left's concern.
00:30:12.560 And Bush was, was obsessed with pandemics.
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
00:30:41.200 of things.
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
00:30:47.460 piece of technology.
00:30:48.780 If it does help people, um, he, one of the things that's supposed to do is maybe even
00:30:54.360 cure depression, which would be amazing.
00:30:56.360 That's just, I mean, he's done some incredible things.
00:30:59.100 He really has.
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?
00:31:14.580 Amazing.
00:31:15.900 Just absolutely incredible.
00:31:17.960 Um, and you just, you just have to sit back and, and kind of marvel cause he's a weird
00:31:23.540 guy.
00:31:24.060 Oh yeah.
00:31:24.680 He's a very strange person.
00:31:26.720 He is.
00:31:27.580 And kind of admittedly so.
00:31:29.400 And at one time he was apparently sleeping in his factory cause he couldn't get the cars
00:31:33.420 produced that he wanted to get produced.
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.
00:31:53.600 He's just what he said, Stu.
00:31:55.000 He's just, that's what he said, right?
00:31:57.520 He's like, like, there's no, there's never a reason the owner of the company needs to sleep
00:32:01.820 on the factory floor to get a car built.
00:32:03.680 Like, that's not a thing.
00:32:04.620 That's true.
00:32:06.020 It's not, it's not a thing, but he's pushed it.
00:32:07.060 Was he on the floor though?
00:32:08.080 He was, he slept right on the floor.
00:32:09.520 I may be.
00:32:10.180 Yeah.
00:32:10.580 Like he pushes.
00:32:11.240 In a sleeping bag.
00:32:11.840 Yeah.
00:32:13.460 And it was a Paw Patrol sleeping bag, which I thought was interesting.
00:32:16.260 Yeah.
00:32:16.880 It was, it was interesting visual.
00:32:18.400 The guy does push himself really hard.
00:32:21.580 Yeah, he does.
00:32:22.020 And he cares.
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,
00:32:31.020 it's kind of how I roll.
00:32:32.740 I think now I wouldn't work as hard as him.
00:32:35.060 Definitely.
00:32:35.660 No way.
00:32:35.960 And I wouldn't care about the same things.
00:32:37.380 I wouldn't be trying to solve the climate crisis, but would I be,
00:32:40.860 would I build a flamethrower company?
00:32:42.520 Probably.
00:32:43.320 I probably do have my own flamethrower company.
00:32:45.640 That would be kind of fun.
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.
00:33:02.580 Like he just doesn't care.
00:33:04.340 You know, he doesn't, he obviously should not have been saying things like, I don't
00:33:09.160 like the regulation in California.
00:33:11.540 I'm going to move to Texas.
00:33:12.520 Like as a liberal, he's not supposed to say things like that, but he did because it's
00:33:16.880 what he thought was true.
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.
00:33:32.600 Yeah.
00:33:32.740 And somehow he survived that and the stock price went up a lot.
00:33:37.480 And now he's a much richer man because of it.
00:33:39.660 Amazing.
00:33:40.560 All right.
00:33:40.820 Uh, 888-727-BECK.
00:33:43.140 More Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program coming up.
00:33:46.380 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
00:33:48.140 According to a Forbes columnist, you need to own gold because it is money and it has intrinsic
00:34:04.860 value.
00:34:05.740 Owning gold keeps all of your eggs out of one basket.
00:34:09.280 So add physical gold.
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,
00:34:17.680 your IRA, or even your 401k.
00:34:20.300 866-GOLDLINE.
00:34:21.660 Read their important risk information and find out if gold or silver is right for you.
00:34:24.620 866-465-3546.
00:34:27.100 That's 866-GOLDLINE.
00:34:29.180 Don't miss Infidel.
00:34:31.480 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.
00:34:44.640 He's caused an international incident.
00:34:47.440 I can't give up on him.
00:34:48.760 But his country abandoned him for sharing his beliefs.
00:34:51.520 This is terrorism.
00:34:52.440 His freedom became her mission.
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?
00:35:18.700 Yeah, we should go through that maybe today.
00:35:20.020 Yeah.
00:35:20.300 Later on, we should get into that.
00:35:22.000 Him and his dad.
00:35:23.580 Yeah.
00:35:23.820 You can watch it on YouTube.
00:35:24.880 Just search for Stu and you'll see the show there.
00:35:27.500 And it was the one we did last night.
00:35:29.380 And it's fascinating to watch him be lionized.
00:35:34.580 Almost deified.
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.
00:35:43.960 It does seem.
00:35:44.520 And this is different than I.
00:35:45.780 Like, you can find fault in every single situation, right?
00:35:49.380 There's always something that somebody did.
00:35:51.660 They may not have done it wrong.
00:35:52.640 And we've talked about many times, cases that you might be able to find something bad about
00:35:57.640 the person in their past.
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.
00:36:03.720 It's controversial.
00:36:04.700 Let's go find all the bad things about him.
00:36:06.340 That's not Jacob Blake.
00:36:07.520 Right.
00:36:07.800 Jacob Blake is the reason why the police were called to this location is because of the things
00:36:14.540 he had done.
00:36:16.400 The reason why he acted.
00:36:17.700 And they were bad things.
00:36:18.520 Bad 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
00:36:32.060 worst people in our society.
00:36:33.560 Yeah.
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.
00:36:43.920 Oh, yeah.
00:36:44.320 Good job, Drew Brees.
00:36:44.980 That'll be great.
00:36:45.900 Yeah, that was brilliant.
00:36:47.520 That's so idiotic.
00:36:48.940 And he wasn't the only one in the Saints who did it.
00:36:50.400 I think Kamara and a few others did.
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.
00:37:01.200 That's not to say that there's no problem.
00:37:02.460 It's just not a societal, systemic type of issue.
00:37:05.440 Right.
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.
00:37:10.760 So there's going to be some problems.
00:37:12.100 Well, we have this thing, Pat, that's working against us when it comes to perfection, which
00:37:15.580 is humanity.
00:37:17.000 Yeah.
00:37:17.440 Yeah.
00:37:17.660 It's tough because humans aren't perfect.
00:37:19.680 And there's 330 million of them here.
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.
00:37:28.780 Who Joe Biden is going to meet with today.
00:37:31.620 Yeah, it's going to be an interesting meeting.
00:37:32.740 That should be an interesting conversation with a cracker.
00:37:36.280 Yeah.
00:37:36.460 I'm interested to see how that goes.
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
00:37:48.140 society.
00:37:48.900 Not to mention crackers.
00:37:50.000 And crackers as well.
00:37:50.780 Of which Joe Biden is one.
00:37:52.200 Yeah.
00:37:52.800 I wonder if they'll have a pleasant discussion about how awful Jewry is, because that'll be
00:37:58.620 a great one to see.
00:37:59.980 You know, maybe Joe can add some of that to his platform.
00:38:02.120 Maybe he can learn from Jacob Blake's father.
00:38:04.740 I hope he does.
00:38:05.300 That's a good point.
00:38:05.980 You know, he should not meet with this guy.
00:38:07.240 This would be akin to Trump meeting with somebody who has KKK leanings.
00:38:12.880 Yeah.
00:38:13.440 If Donald Trump scheduled a meeting with David Duke tomorrow, it would be the same as meeting
00:38:18.280 with this guy.
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.
00:38:33.380 Easily.
00:38:33.880 You know, these are the recent, too.
00:38:36.380 Yes.
00:38:36.560 They're recent.
00:38:37.020 Very recent.
00:38:37.500 That's just who this guy is.
00:38:38.740 Mm-hmm.
00:38:39.040 And now he's going to be the voice of reason to teach us about racial issues.
00:38:45.360 No.
00:38:47.380 Here's the thing.
00:38:48.400 No.
00:38:49.420 I'm not accepting it.
00:38:50.540 This is nonsense.
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.
00:39:01.920 Right.
00:39:02.140 Obviously, they shouldn't have been.
00:39:03.600 Right.
00:39:03.820 But maybe you should be careful about who you're deifying.
00:39:08.860 Yeah, exactly.
00:39:09.480 I mean, like, look, even if you say with Jacob Blake, should he have been shot multiple times?
00:39:14.400 Well, no.
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.
00:39:22.400 So there is a distinction.
00:39:23.580 I mean, it's not a death penalty situation.
00:39:25.740 It's a life in prison situation in my mind.
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.
00:39:39.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:39:41.140 Hey, everybody knows PayPal.

00:40:50.180 You believe it's Labor Day weekend coming up here already?
00:40:53.140 Just wow.
00:40:55.760 Summer went by fast.
00:40:57.540 Triple 8-727-B-E-C-K.
00:41:02.820 Oh, this is great.
00:41:04.600 Joe Biden meeting with Jacob Blake Sr. today.
00:41:09.120 That should be an interesting conversation the two of them have.
00:41:12.140 I wonder if Jews will come up.
00:41:13.720 Because it seems to be the thing that Jacob Blake's dad is really interested in.
00:41:17.420 Yeah, he's interested in Jews.
00:41:18.480 It's so weird, the amount of people who are so interested in Jews like he is.
00:41:24.860 I don't even get that.
00:41:26.200 I don't get it.
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.
00:41:46.820 Is that possible?
00:41:48.280 Is he maybe not a saint, for instance?
00:41:52.100 How dare you?
00:41:52.840 I know.
00:41:53.300 How dare you, Pat?
00:41:54.500 I know the guy got shot.
00:41:55.420 I shouldn't be saying that.
00:41:56.440 But he's not a saint.
00:41:57.940 Not a saint.
00:41:59.300 Do I want him to have gotten shot seven times in the back?
00:42:03.020 No.
00:42:03.640 I'd prefer not.
00:42:04.400 No.
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.
00:42:11.500 Yes.
00:42:11.700 Very long time.
00:42:12.980 Yes, the guy's not...
00:42:14.460 I mean, he's done some stuff.
00:42:17.880 Done some serious stuff.
00:42:19.300 He really has.
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.
00:42:36.540 And it's not just politicians.
00:42:39.440 It's the WNBA, which is a basketball league played by women.
00:42:44.840 What?
00:42:45.100 There is one?
00:42:45.620 Yeah.
00:42:46.080 Huh.
00:42:46.460 Yeah.
00:42:46.740 I didn't know.
00:42:47.160 When did that start?
00:42:47.360 I didn't know either, but until I saw this picture of them and their t-shirts.
00:42:50.200 Okay.
00:42:50.460 And their t-shirts that spell out Jacob Blake.
00:42:53.400 Oh, that's beautiful.
00:42:54.300 Yeah.
00:42:54.560 Isn't that beautiful?
00:42:55.220 Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints, putting it on a masking tape on their helmet.
00:42:58.760 Yeah, that's so wonderful.
00:42:59.680 That's beautiful.
00:43:00.500 Beautiful.
00:43:00.980 2.2 million dollars in a GoFundMe coming his way.
00:43:04.460 Oh my gosh.
00:43:05.740 2.2 million dollars for Jacob Blake.
00:43:09.020 That's great.
00:43:09.900 And I'm so glad people are doing that for him.
00:43:12.240 And then wait until he sues the city of Kenosha and the state of Wisconsin and the police association.
00:43:20.340 He'll do all those things.
00:43:21.500 Yes.
00:43:21.880 Right?
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.
00:43:33.260 So May 3rd, there's an incident.
00:43:36.940 It's a little icky.
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.
00:43:48.880 And so that's not true.
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.
00:44:01.500 No, 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.
00:44:11.200 Okay.
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.
00:44:31.560 Kind of just seems like straight up rape.
00:44:34.360 That's what I would call it.
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.
00:44:57.880 So this is the May 3rd incident.
00:44:59.140 I'm talking about the shooting.
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.
00:45:14.640 We all get trials.
00:45:15.740 We all get our innocent until proven guilty.
00:45:17.900 I will point out to the left.
00:45:18.960 This includes the police officers too.
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.
00:45:55.480 Okay.
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.
00:46:07.560 You're, you're intimidating this woman.
00:46:09.660 You're standing over her.
00:46:11.340 Now she was not alone in bed.
00:46:13.780 You know, this is important to note.
00:46:15.800 She was not alone in bed.
00:46:16.900 She was sleeping next to one of her children.
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.
00:46:32.700 Uh, we're going to spare you those.
00:46:35.380 Um, but the police report is available.
00:46:37.200 The New York post obtained it among others, a couple of other media sources as well.
00:46:41.560 Uh, but he, uh, he sexually assaulted her.
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.
00:46:59.080 She's very pissed off that this is a curse.
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.
00:47:07.720 He's taken her ATM card.
00:47:10.580 She, he, uh, the car is gone.
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.
00:47:22.040 Jeez.
00:47:22.640 So he's stealing, he stole her car and money.
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?
00:47:36.180 That's what I would assume is going to happen.
00:47:37.720 Right.
00:47:38.060 So we'll pick the story up there in 60 seconds.

00:48:18.600 On September 18th, don't miss Infidel, the new heart-pounding political thriller inspired by true events.
00:48:25.040 You are an American spy.
00:48:27.040 What?
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.
00:48:33.200 Wait a lot!
00:48:33.820 And his wife's courage to never give up on him.
00:48:36.420 This is terrorism.
00:48:37.420 When his country abandoned him, his freedom became her mission.
00:48:40.840 I came here to plead for his life.
00:48:42.620 Starring Jim Caviezel.
00:48:44.200 Do your job.
00:48:44.960 See Infidel.
00:48:47.140 Only in theaters, September 18th.
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.
00:49:15.760 Go to YouTube, search for Stu.
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.
00:49:21.880 And it's really ugly, honestly.
00:49:23.740 She's finally, she's been assaulted.
00:49:25.460 He's stolen the car.
00:49:26.720 He's done all these terrible things.
00:49:28.120 Now he's decided, she's called 911.
00:49:30.860 The police come.
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.
00:50:08.060 What about the incident itself, though, right?
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.
00:50:15.840 This is the incident.
00:50:17.560 If you're going to pick an incident that involves Jacob Blake, this is the one to care about.
00:50:24.860 This is it.
00:50:26.040 You can talk, you can put his name on your shirts if you want, but this is the incident.
00:50:30.200 This is the one we should prioritize.
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.
00:50:42.500 Yes.
00:50:43.440 Like, frankly, that is just true.
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?
00:50:55.500 Is LeBron James crying about her?
00:50:57.080 No, it doesn't seem to be.
00:50:57.960 No, it doesn't seem to be at all.
00:50:59.160 I haven't heard LeBron James say word one about this woman he raped.
00:51:02.820 Where does she get her justice?
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.
00:51:18.940 And we can go into all the details on that.
00:51:20.860 But again, this is a, it's not like he did something where there was the thing with Eric Garner.
00:51:26.000 Remember 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.
00:51:43.080 You heard the definition.
00:51:44.540 It's rape.
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.
00:51:54.800 It's also not a one-time incident.
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?
00:52:28.080 That might be appropriate, yeah.
00:52:29.380 That might be where I landed on it.
00:52:31.180 Mm-hmm.
00:52:32.040 The penalty for his sexual assault is 10 years in Wisconsin.
00:52:35.680 Ask me if I think that's good enough.
00:52:37.540 It's not.
00:52:38.960 Okay?
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?
00:53:10.420 Which one should we be talking about?
00:53:12.480 Because that choice is easy to me.
00:53:14.060 It doesn't seem to be easy to the media.
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.
00:53:22.860 Yeah.
00:53:22.980 Right?
00:53:23.360 These are the people.
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.
00:53:28.220 So ridiculous.
00:53:28.920 Going into this.
00:53:29.540 I mean, this.
00:53:30.340 How the hell in the freaking Me Too era?
00:53:33.920 How the hell is this happening?
00:53:36.160 You know, everyone in the public eye should stop and think about what they're doing here.
00:53:40.120 Imagine how this victim feels.
00:53:41.840 Imagine how this victim feels, Pat.
00:53:43.440 And you're burning down cities over this rapist.
00:53:46.080 A 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.
00:54:02.180 It's despicable.
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.
00:54:22.500 Imagine how that makes sense.
00:54:23.600 If we can't recognize this as a society, that we're doing this wrong.
00:54:27.800 Police brutality is the least of our issues.
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.
00:54:57.720 It's disgusting.
00:54:58.980 It is.
00:54:59.320 In every possible way.
00:55:00.860 It really is.
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.
00:55:11.640 I wouldn't think they'd even face charges.
00:55:13.500 I would not be surprised if they face charges because this is the new reaction, right?
00:55:19.520 Maybe.
00:55:20.000 Like Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:55:21.600 Look, I don't want a 17-year-old with a rifle at one of these things.
00:55:24.420 No, I don't either.
00:55:25.060 By any means.
00:55:26.160 I don't think it's a good idea.
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.
00:55:43.560 It's ridiculous.
00:55:44.020 No way.
00:55:44.540 And everybody knows it's ridiculous.
00:55:46.220 Yeah.
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.
00:56:00.060 He's not guilty.
00:56:01.440 Right.
00:56:01.720 And then you're going to make it worse.
00:56:03.820 But this is their plan.
00:56:04.880 This is what they're doing now.
00:56:06.240 Yeah.
00:56:06.680 So.
00:56:07.220 Unbelievable.
00:56:08.040 An amazing one, though.
00:56:09.200 An amazing.
00:56:09.740 And we haven't even got into the father.
00:56:11.200 Let's do that here in a second.
00:56:15.340 All right.
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?
00:56:30.660 Well, good news.
00:56:31.440 Shave Secret has got you covered.
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.
00:56:43.900 It lasts forever.
00:56:44.760 You only need a couple drops of it.
00:56:46.100 You put it in your moist palm.
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.
00:56:57.260 Say goodbye to all the crazy products.
00:56:58.660 Say hello to Shave Secret.
00:57:00.760 Shave Secret is available regionally at H-E-B, Wegmans, Walmart, and Amazon.

00:57:13.100 Station ID.
00:57:27.160 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:57:29.440 You know, we're talking about Jacob Blake Jr.
00:57:31.920 Jacob Blake Sr. is a fun guy as well.
00:57:35.060 That's a word for it.
00:57:35.880 He's a fun guy.
00:57:36.660 And he's meeting with Joe Biden today.
00:57:39.940 So this is great.
00:57:40.920 Given some of Joe Biden's past comments, you think maybe they'll have a lot to talk about.
00:57:44.620 They might.
00:57:45.120 They actually might.
00:57:46.500 Some things in common, actually.
00:57:48.180 Those he's made some interesting posts that might seem to some people anti-Semitic, such
00:57:57.200 as saying the Jews control the media.
00:57:59.060 But I mean, lots of people say that.
00:58:01.880 Or do they?
00:58:02.860 Or do they?
00:58:03.440 A lot of anti-Semites say it, I know.
00:58:05.100 Yes.
00:58:06.880 Repeatedly referring to white people as crackers and pinks or pink toes, which I don't think
00:58:14.060 I've ever heard that term for white people.
00:58:15.880 Pink toes.
00:58:17.460 But that's...
00:58:17.840 I never have either.
00:58:18.920 Yeah.
00:58:19.160 Is that a thing?
00:58:19.780 That's a thing, I guess.
00:58:20.880 To him, it is.
00:58:22.520 He's trashed the Christian church.
00:58:24.940 He refers to some women as hoes.
00:58:27.280 In one post, he wrote, fresh out of Facebook penitentiary, I say F the white man.
00:58:34.300 Okay.
00:58:36.320 He captioned a graphic that reads, white Jesus exposed is the biggest fraud unleashed on
00:58:42.640 the planet.
00:58:44.540 And...
00:58:44.740 That's interesting.
00:58:45.440 I wonder how Joe Biden, a very dedicated Catholic, I believe, right?
00:58:49.520 Right.
00:58:49.900 Is going to...
00:58:50.960 I mean, I don't think that's...
00:58:52.120 I don't think those ideologies necessarily...
00:58:53.880 Maybe that's one of the things I'll discuss today.
00:58:55.520 Yeah.
00:58:55.660 I don't know.
00:58:56.120 I don't know.
00:58:56.660 But he had the caption, crackers have never told the truth.
00:59:00.980 Diabolical liars.
00:59:03.900 Crackers.
00:59:04.640 As a pink toe myself, I just...
00:59:08.440 We're all diabolical liars.
00:59:10.040 You got to give him that, right?
00:59:11.460 Well, yeah, sure.
00:59:14.100 You know, I thought his point was pretty interesting when he said the first Jews were brown, not
00:59:20.160 pink, damn it.
00:59:21.720 And, you know, I never heard anyone make that point before.
00:59:24.500 Yeah, I hadn't either.
00:59:25.100 I also liked the Jewish media picks and chooses who is a terrorist and who is not.
00:59:31.980 Which is...
00:59:32.480 Who is a terrorist?
00:59:33.360 Yeah, who is a terrorist and is not.
00:59:35.600 Okay.
00:59:36.720 White Jews want you to believe there are no brown Jews.
00:59:39.260 Did you know that?
00:59:39.900 I didn't know that either.
00:59:41.100 He goes on to say the Jewish media.
00:59:47.440 Oh, we did this one.
00:59:49.640 Some of the stuff I can't, unfortunately, read.
00:59:52.840 Now, look, I...
00:59:53.760 It's not just fluffy stuff.
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
01:00:01.200 said, that's not me.
01:00:02.480 Ask any of my friends.
01:00:03.660 I'm not really racist.
01:00:04.480 It's not the kind of stuff he's doing.
01:00:05.880 It seems to be very consistent with the black Israelite movement, which if you remember,
01:00:09.660 those are the people who were screaming at...
01:00:11.860 What's his face?
01:00:13.120 Nick Sandman.
01:00:13.740 Nick Sandman from Covington.
01:00:15.160 Yeah.
01:00:15.720 They were screaming at him, all sorts of really racist things.
01:00:19.500 It seems consistent with that ideology.
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.
01:00:30.700 Duh.
01:00:31.400 Just...
01:00:31.720 I want to get...
01:00:32.200 Again.
01:00:33.820 It is...
01:00:35.480 It's ugly stuff.
01:00:36.280 Now, part of this is, I don't think, necessarily productive, right?
01:00:39.740 The father of a guy who was shot by police.
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.
01:00:54.160 I mean, I can get on board with that idea.
01:00:55.700 However, Joe Biden should not be meeting with him.
01:00:58.480 No, he should not.
01:00:59.040 Joe Biden should not be meeting with a guy.
01:01:00.200 He's not.
01:01:00.460 Because if Donald Trump...
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...
01:01:20.100 You know...
01:01:20.740 That's why Joe Biden said he got in the race.
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.
01:01:43.580 Speaking of Donald Trump, of course.
01:01:45.500 So that's...
01:01:45.920 That was sweet.
01:01:47.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:01:51.180 So, summer is still around.
01:01:53.080 And based on the way that 2020 has been going so far, I don't know.
01:01:55.840 I mean, this year could last forever.
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.
01:02:03.400 They have the best technology.
01:02:05.460 They have the smart grill technology.
01:02:07.160 You can see your...
01:02:09.720 I mean, right in an app on your phone.
01:02:11.400 See the exact temperature.
01:02:12.440 You don't need to sit there.
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.
01:02:40.520 Rectech.
01:02:40.940 It's sturdy.
01:02:41.740 It's smart.
01:02:42.180 It's dinner time.

01:03:48.800 It's the appropriate number of stars.
01:03:50.640 Yes.
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.
01:04:01.060 And so he was talking to Robert Epstein.
01:04:03.500 You've spoken to him on radio before, right?
01:04:05.680 Yeah, a few times.
01:04:06.260 Yeah.
01:04:06.540 Yeah.
01:04:06.900 So he's got a compelling story about how influential Google really is.
01:04:13.720 Here's the thing.
01:04:14.860 Google only controls 86.86% of all searches.
01:04:20.960 That's it?
01:04:21.240 So, I mean, that's it.
01:04:22.200 That's almost, what, 87%.
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.
01:04:41.260 Amazing.
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.
01:05:03.740 But that's not true at all, is it?
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.
01:05:49.680 So let's show one case here.
01:05:51.460 This is against Biden.
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.
01:06:06.420 Explain this.
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.
01:06:23.640 But on Google, somehow or other, they're gone.
01:06:26.340 They're missing.
01:06:27.020 They're absent.
01:06:27.660 That's content suppression.
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.
01:06:40.960 Can you believe that?
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.
01:06:56.440 It's incredible.
01:06:57.600 It's incredible.
01:06:58.400 This happens to us all the time.
01:07:00.340 You want to buy a new car and then you see that car all over the place.
01:07:05.420 It plays into what you're already doing.
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...
01:07:16.860 It's going to have an effect.
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.
01:07:25.700 I mean, it's just not true.
01:07:26.860 They're watching the Kardashians.
01:07:29.680 They're not following this stuff like you are.
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.
01:07:51.240 They're not getting the real information.
01:07:53.200 That's not what they do.
01:07:54.040 Just yesterday, I was looking for something on Biden.
01:07:57.320 It was...
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.
01:08:11.380 That was the only thing Google presented.
01:08:13.700 Now, we eventually found it somewhere else, but we had to go directly to a website to do it.
01:08:18.140 The Google search didn't show it up at all.
01:08:20.900 It didn't show up on a Google search.
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.
01:08:28.960 Yeah.
01:08:29.220 I will not ban fracking.
01:08:30.740 Let me say it again.
01:08:31.480 I will not ban fracking.
01:08:32.980 Obviously, that's another thing that's showing up in their polls as a problem in states like Pennsylvania.
01:08:37.120 Uh-huh.
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.
01:08:49.980 Yep.
01:08:50.260 Thank goodness for fracking.
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.
01:09:20.480 It's incredible.
01:09:21.180 It's unbelievable.
01:09:22.000 People have saved our economy multiple times.
01:09:24.900 Absolutely.
01:09:24.920 And then we have one of the two major parties that wants to ban it.
01:09:27.520 And so, now he's backing off that.
01:09:29.900 But this is interesting.
01:09:31.200 This happens to me all the time, too.
01:09:32.680 You're looking for a specific thing.
01:09:34.560 Mm-hmm.
01:09:34.900 And you search and search and search and search and search.
01:09:37.180 You can't find it on Google.
01:09:37.920 And again, you have to take yourself out of the situation as a highly informed consumer of news content.
01:09:45.260 Most people don't click past the first page.
01:09:48.220 Most people just give up if they can't find the thing right away.
01:09:51.360 Right.
01:09:51.700 Google gets to tell them exactly what the facts are that need to be seen.
01:09:55.880 That's right.
01:09:56.620 And so, they don't see them.
01:09:57.920 And they don't see things like this with the anti-Hillary search.
01:10:01.660 Watch this.
01:10:02.380 This is amazing from last night's special.
01:10:03.860 So, explain the Crooked Hillary Trends graph.
01:10:07.380 What does this mean?
01:10:09.200 Okay.
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?
01:10:34.280 And again, it's astonishing.
01:10:36.420 You get crooked smile, crooked blank, crooked colors come down, crooked smile lyrics.
01:10:43.600 Crooked colors come down?
01:10:44.300 But if you put it into Bing, crooked creak.
01:10:46.880 Second is Crooked Hillary.
01:10:48.480 Put it into Yahoo, crooked.
01:10:50.580 The first one is Crooked Hillary.
01:10:52.260 So, two of them are operating, honestly, on the algorithm of what people are actually doing.
01:10:59.240 Correct.
01:11:00.100 I mean, I just did it in Google.
01:11:04.700 Crooked crust.
01:11:05.940 Yeah.
01:11:06.360 What the?
01:11:06.700 Crooked media.
01:11:08.360 Crooked smile.
01:11:09.960 Crooked pint.
01:11:11.600 What is that?
01:11:13.060 Crooked teeth.
01:11:14.080 Crooked smile lyrics.
01:11:16.060 And the crooked man.
01:11:18.140 No Crooked Hillary at all.
01:11:20.620 I'm interested in Crooked Crust, though.
01:11:22.040 It seems like a pizza place.
01:11:23.440 So, I'm interested.
01:11:25.760 See, now I'm distracted and I'm looking at pizza instead of what I should be looking at,
01:11:29.100 which is information about Hillary Clinton.
01:11:30.620 And you're right.
01:11:30.960 It is pizza.
01:11:32.380 It looks pretty good.
01:11:33.580 Yeah.
01:11:34.180 I'm going to have to go there for lunch.
01:11:35.960 We'll fact check that one for you after the show.
01:11:39.000 I mean, incredible.
01:11:40.180 Yeah.
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.
01:11:58.040 We're pushing down the fake news.
01:11:59.540 We're demoting it.
01:12:00.600 And we are increasing the authoritative news and promoting it.
01:12:04.000 How do we do that?
01:12:04.980 We have a whole system we came up with, Trashy News, where we have build classifiers.
01:12:09.600 We identify it.
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.
01:12:21.260 We're training.
01:12:21.940 We added these instructions to our readers.
01:12:24.960 And we've updated our classifiers.
01:12:27.440 And we are working to understand, identify that with machine learning, and then to push that down.
01:12:32.160 And she's very proud of all of that.
01:12:35.020 Yeah.
01:12:35.200 She's perfectly fine with that.
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.
01:12:43.200 Well, who's making that determination?
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?
01:12:55.980 Yeah.
01:12:56.520 And of course they are.
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.
01:13:05.740 So these things come and they go.
01:13:07.500 Like, if we all, we can all go here and type crooked in, right, and see what comes up.
01:13:12.600 And we can comment on that.
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?
01:13:21.900 Like, that could come up.
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.
01:14:00.680 There's no record of it.
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.
01:14:12.020 This is what they're doing.
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.
01:14:37.380 Well, they can also do, hey, get out and vote.
01:14:39.300 Today's the day to vote.
01:14:40.520 Reminders, right?
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.
01:14:45.680 Why would they be doing it if they didn't?
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?
01:15:03.900 It would be very easy for them to do this.
01:15:06.000 This would not be a difficult thing.
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.
01:15:21.380 There'd almost be no way of monitoring it.
01:15:24.020 And it could move thousands, hundreds of thousands of votes.
01:15:28.380 Oh, yeah.
01:15:29.220 Easily.
01:15:30.160 Easily.
01:15:30.460 I mean, so this is how they're influencing us.
01:15:33.180 And, you know, I think as long as we realize it, you can avoid that kind of thing.
01:15:38.800 But most people don't realize it.
01:15:40.580 They don't know what's going on.
01:15:42.060 They don't know that this is happening.
01:15:43.720 In fact, I just typed in Crooked Hill.
01:15:47.560 I'm just leaving off the A-R-Y.
01:15:51.280 And Hillary still doesn't show up.
01:15:53.660 It still doesn't show up in the Google search.
01:15:57.440 Just absolutely amazing.
01:15:58.920 And if you put the A, you said A-R-Y you left off.
01:16:01.400 Then it gives you nothing.
01:16:02.760 Oh, yeah.
01:16:03.520 Right.
01:16:04.780 Let me do the R.
01:16:05.880 Yeah.
01:16:06.140 Still nothing.
01:16:06.860 Nothing.
01:16:07.440 It's as if Crooked Hillary has never been searched for in Google.
01:16:10.640 And the Y.
01:16:11.340 I just spelled it all out.
01:16:12.800 Still nothing.
01:16:13.420 Then you hit the search and images for Crooked Hillary.
01:16:18.720 I'm looking at the articles that come up.
01:16:21.140 The top ten nicknames and why they stick to his foes.
01:16:23.900 Right.
01:16:24.300 Which is like a negative way of portraying Trump.
01:16:27.280 Exactly.
01:16:28.300 Then the second one is Trump revives Crooked Hillary nickname.
01:16:31.560 Yep.
01:16:32.240 Clinton fires back.
01:16:33.200 Yeah.
01:16:33.540 I mean, it's all, you know.
01:16:35.160 List of nicknames used by Trump.
01:16:37.220 Donald J. Trump Twitter.
01:16:40.320 Absolutely amazing.
01:16:41.340 Right.
01:16:41.680 Like, I can't.
01:16:42.360 Absolutely amazing.
01:16:43.420 Again, Google can do whatever they want.
01:16:45.420 Part of this is we need to not be just so dependent on it.
01:16:48.300 Part of it is.
01:16:48.940 That would be nice.
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.
01:16:59.340 Wouldn't that be nice?
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.
01:17:06.840 Yeah.
01:17:07.220 Right?
01:17:07.620 Exactly.
01:17:08.200 But we don't.
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.
01:17:23.560 We do need to at least know what's going on.
01:17:26.780 888-727-BECK.
01:17:28.560 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
01:17:30.760 These are uncertain times and what's considered normal seems to change daily.
01:17:48.600 But I know two things that won't change.
01:17:51.000 I'm naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black, inventor of Rough Greens, and those two things are this.
01:17:55.980 One, there's no way you can feed your dog a healthy diet by giving them dry dog food.
01:18:00.220 Dog food is dead food.
01:18:01.820 And two, there's no better dog supplement on the planet than the live nutrition of Rough Greens.

01:18:38.960 So good, your dog will ask for it by name.
01:18:49.120 888-727-B-E-C-K.
01:18:51.920 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:18:54.000 He is on vacation for Labor Day weekend.
01:18:58.620 Portland's mayor is apparently moving.
01:19:02.180 Hmm.
01:19:03.620 Wonder why.
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?
01:19:14.860 Hmm.
01:19:15.500 That's very strange.
01:19:16.520 So he's trying to move out of his condo because they're trying to set his condo on fire.
01:19:21.160 And so, he's leaving.
01:19:24.020 That's strange.
01:19:25.100 It's weird, isn't it?
01:19:25.840 Especially, well, it is peaceful fire, I suppose.
01:19:28.260 Well, mostly.
01:19:29.620 Mostly peaceful fire.
01:19:30.580 Mostly.
01:19:31.160 Yeah.
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
01:19:50.040 where they hold any power.
01:19:51.640 Yeah.
01:19:51.960 Like, I mean, this mayor of Portland is an absolute embarrassment.
01:19:57.300 He is.
01:19:58.020 Absolutely is.
01:19:59.200 It's sad to watch.
01:20:00.800 You know, Chicago is the same way.
01:20:03.100 These people.
01:20:04.080 Seattle.
01:20:04.400 They're all idiots.
01:20:07.120 On the left, they just, all they do is run these cities into the ground and get reelected.
01:20:11.820 It's like, I wish I had a gig like that.
01:20:14.260 I wish we had like the worst ratings in the world and they just kept giving us new contracts.
01:20:17.820 Like, that doesn't happen to us.
01:20:19.220 Does that happen to anyone else in the audience?
01:20:21.220 Only politics, man.
01:20:22.640 It's a good gig to get it.
01:20:23.740 I guess if you can pull it off, you might as well try.
01:20:26.240 Whether you're working from home or working on fitness, it doesn't matter.
01:20:31.140 You want to listen to what you want to listen to and not what your kids are listening to
01:20:34.520 or somebody else is listening to.

01:21:27.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:21:31.780 Church says Los Angeles County plans to take their parking lot in retaliation for services
01:21:38.220 amid the COVID shutdown.
01:21:41.280 Also, in Ohio, the school district has banned the thin blue line flags after a football player
01:21:49.080 carried one to honor his coach, who is also a police officer.
01:21:53.440 Getting to the lot and much more coming up in 60 seconds.
01:21:56.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:22:04.660 Seth Talbot here again with my dad, Pete, with Relief Factor.
01:22:08.480 And tens of thousands of people are now taking 100% drug-free Relief Factor every day.
01:22:14.000 Seth is right.
01:22:14.760 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.
01:22:29.880 And I heard about Relief Factor on the radio.
01:22:32.720 I tried the three-week quick start.
01:22:34.780 I am so grateful to Relief Factor that I've gotten my life back.
01:22:38.860 We know one thing for sure.
01:22:40.420 People want a drug-free solution to their pain.
01:22:43.140 Back, neck, hip, shoulder, or knee 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.
01:23:21.760 888-727-BECK.
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?
01:24:18.700 Hmm.
01:24:19.540 I'm not familiar with that at all.
01:24:22.120 It used to be kind of one of those things that people agreed on.
01:24:24.220 Yeah, it was, wasn't it?
01:24:25.640 The police are good.
01:24:27.480 Yeah, and I think they still do, largely.
01:24:31.060 But that is changing, it seems like.
01:24:33.020 It is.
01:24:34.000 I mean, this is crazy that you would...
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,
01:24:47.300 or if it had racial connotations.
01:24:50.320 What?
01:24:50.600 Are there no black police officers?
01:24:53.900 Of course there are.
01:24:55.580 What race are police?
01:24:58.000 That's just ridiculous.
01:24:59.260 You're sure about this?
01:25:00.160 That's asinine.
01:25:00.620 I'm pretty sure about this.
01:25:01.920 Yeah.
01:25:03.080 Let me think.
01:25:04.340 Yes.
01:25:04.700 Yes, I'm sure about it.
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.
01:25:53.960 You remember that?
01:25:54.600 I mean, people were being, people were being shouted down on social media for saying happy 4th of July.
01:26:02.200 It's gotten ridiculous.
01:26:04.100 It's just, it's ridiculous.
01:26:05.800 Everything is racist now.
01:26:08.920 It is.
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.
01:26:18.600 It's like this.
01:26:19.480 You keep using the word.
01:26:20.940 I don't think it means what you think it means.
01:26:23.100 We're kind of there, are we?
01:26:24.360 It is.
01:26:24.820 We're kind of there.
01:26:26.260 It is.
01:26:27.120 We did this thing on Studios in America, the Everything is Racist song.
01:26:31.240 And it's like, everything is awesome.
01:26:33.140 Oh, yeah.
01:26:33.480 Pretty even kind of reworked.
01:26:34.900 It's so true.
01:26:37.420 It is.
01:26:38.140 Everything.
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.
01:26:53.820 Cast is one of the new ones.
01:26:55.500 Yeah.
01:26:55.820 That pushes it.
01:26:56.660 Yeah.
01:26:57.100 Ibram Kendi is another author who's done this before.
01:26:59.840 I mean, Ibram Kendi is straight out.
01:27:01.880 He says, he's literally, without any asterisk, advocating for discrimination.
01:27:10.060 This is where the left is now.
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.
01:27:27.140 It's the only way you can do it.
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.
01:27:40.220 Wow.
01:27:41.000 Who is saying this overtly.
01:27:43.080 He's not hiding it at all.
01:27:45.140 This is the same thing.
01:27:46.140 And why would he?
01:27:46.700 He doesn't need to.
01:27:47.860 It's okay to discriminate against white people now.
01:27:50.340 I guess so.
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.
01:28:05.540 And there's no way around it.
01:28:06.680 And you might as well admit it.
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.
01:28:14.140 And that you do.
01:28:15.560 I mean, there's just no way out of it.
01:28:17.680 I don't even know why we bother with it, but it's such a factor in today's society.
01:28:23.120 You can't ignore it.
01:28:24.120 Yeah.
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.
01:28:35.360 You know, Glenn used to say this all the time.
01:28:37.580 Control the language, control the argument.
01:28:39.940 And it's so true.
01:28:41.440 It's what they're doing.
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.
01:28:53.700 Are you white?
01:28:54.560 Then you're racist.
01:28:55.740 That is legitimately what they say.
01:28:58.440 This is not like us, like exaggerating it.
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.
01:29:18.380 How do you hurt yourself?
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.
01:29:26.500 That's essentially their argument.
01:29:28.200 They're saying things should be worse for you.
01:29:31.380 That is the left wing vision of your life.
01:29:33.500 If we only can make things worse for you, that will help, but it will never solve it.
01:29:39.580 And that's also important.
01:29:40.900 There will never be a time in which you've hurt yourself or taken enough beating to make it work.
01:29:47.060 Right.
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.
01:29:57.940 Still have privilege.
01:29:58.300 And you never have a job.
01:29:59.060 You're still privileged.
01:29:59.860 You're still more privileged than Denzel Washington.
01:30:02.240 That's what it is.
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.
01:30:10.300 Right.
01:30:10.820 You are a denier.
01:30:12.140 You're a hater.
01:30:13.040 You're trying to kill people.
01:30:15.360 How this stuff works on anybody who's actually trying to think it out, I don't know.
01:30:20.300 But it does.
01:30:21.320 It works.
01:30:22.380 And it's moving people.
01:30:23.960 The only way to cure racism is with more racism.
01:30:27.040 That is what they're saying.
01:30:28.660 Yeah.
01:30:29.140 Outwardly.
01:30:29.580 They're just using the word discrimination instead of racism.
01:30:32.320 That's the only difference.
01:30:33.180 They are outwardly saying that.
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?
01:30:53.300 Yeah, it sure does.
01:30:53.920 Like, out of nowhere.
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.
01:31:01.880 And I think it was in Tablet Magazine.
01:31:03.940 They went back and tracked.
01:31:05.760 It was a brilliant piece.
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.
01:31:23.220 All of the history that they measured.
01:31:24.940 I'm going back decades and decades.
01:31:26.460 And it's just flat.
01:31:27.640 And all of a sudden, hockey stick in 2012.
01:31:31.280 Just hockey stick straight up in 2012.
01:31:33.320 Like, out of nowhere.
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.
01:32:06.820 Yeah, but some people perceive it that way.
01:32:08.580 So, we're going to teach it.
01:32:10.220 Yeah, that's not how the world works.
01:32:13.280 Or it's not supposed to work that way.
01:32:14.960 Really?
01:32:15.340 Yeah.
01:32:15.940 Facts.
01:32:16.520 Why?
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?
01:32:20.360 Right.
01:32:20.740 Like, I'd like to know what the truth is.
01:32:22.480 Weird.
01:32:22.900 And they don't.
01:32:23.760 They don't want to know what the truth is.
01:32:25.180 They do not.
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?
01:32:35.800 Bernie Sanders, volunteer, but a data guy.
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.
01:32:58.340 Maybe we shouldn't burn down cities.
01:32:59.780 Now, he didn't say maybe we shouldn't burn down cities.
01:33:02.540 He just posted the study.
01:33:04.660 The study said Democrats tend to have problems in elections when they start burning down cities.
01:33:10.140 He was fired from his job.
01:33:14.340 Oh, my gosh.
01:33:15.700 Oh, my gosh.
01:33:16.280 Just for posting the academic study.
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.
01:33:46.380 Think.
01:33:46.860 My gosh.
01:33:47.140 This is insanity.
01:33:48.620 My gosh.
01:33:49.500 Insanity.
01:33:50.020 That's like saying two plus two equals four is something we shouldn't teach because it makes people uncomfortable.
01:33:54.760 Yeah.
01:33:55.560 And you know what's going to happen eventually, Pat?
01:33:57.020 You're going to have stuff.
01:33:57.580 We're going to get to that.
01:33:58.380 Like medical diagnosis that people are like, well, you know what?
01:34:01.940 People feel bad.
01:34:03.260 We're seeing it with gender already.
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.
01:34:10.740 Oh, no, it's not a little girl.
01:34:12.320 It's a little boy.
01:34:13.800 Well, the little boys don't have that part that's causing the problem.
01:34:21.700 And I think you played this as well, Pat.
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.
01:34:35.240 Yes, I think he's going to do okay.
01:34:37.540 May I speak with you outside for just a moment?
01:34:39.780 And they took the doctors outside.
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.
01:34:51.840 That's where we are now in popular culture.
01:34:54.320 Right.
01:34:54.920 Let alone academia.
01:34:56.800 It's nuts.
01:34:57.680 It's incredible.
01:34:59.100 It's absolutely crazy.
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.
01:35:28.540 They wanted to hear that they weren't racist.
01:35:30.640 Even if they thought the people, you know, these evil Americans were racists, they didn't call them racists directly.
01:35:35.860 That's gone.
01:35:37.120 Now, every white person in America is racist, and half the white people in America agree with it.
01:35:41.640 Yeah, maybe more than half.
01:35:43.480 It's stunning.
01:35:45.380 888-727-BECK.
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.
01:36:12.700 The question is, what are you doing about it?
01:36:13.920 Especially if you're at home, you're doing more meetings online.
01:36:16.440 Your kids might be doing school at home.
01:36:18.180 You're online more and more.
01:36:19.300 More of your information is available online.
01:36:22.300 What if you're on, like, public Wi-Fi?
01:36:24.140 Then you're really in trouble.
01:36:26.040 What are you doing about the devices that the rest of your family uses?
01:36:29.020 It's not just you.
01:36:30.360 What you need is LifeLock.
01:36:31.940 No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but you can find out if your information is on the dark web.

01:36:59.320 10 seconds, station ID.
01:37:00.140 And, of course, now we know that Disney is also racist.
01:37:20.060 Disney.
01:37:20.820 Disney is.
01:37:21.480 Is racist.
01:37:23.020 Yes.
01:37:23.520 According to John Boyega, you know who he is, right?
01:37:26.020 Yeah, the guy from Star Wars, right?
01:37:27.880 Yeah.
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.
01:37:42.500 He's a huge character.
01:37:43.560 Huge.
01:37:44.300 And part of, huge part of what, the last three movies, right?
01:37:47.920 Yeah.
01:37:48.400 He was through the whole series.
01:37:49.980 What do you mean he tossed you aside?
01:37:51.300 You were in every movie.
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.
01:38:32.560 You can never be woke enough, man.
01:38:35.820 You never can be woke enough.
01:38:37.060 It doesn't matter what you do.
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.
01:38:48.180 Right.
01:38:48.560 They're still racist for doing that.
01:38:50.880 And they made one of the lead characters a woman.
01:38:53.500 Right.
01:38:54.040 Right.
01:38:54.400 Which was, you know, people talked about at the time.
01:38:56.540 Yes, a little bit controversial 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.
01:39:07.040 Right.
01:39:07.440 What a, wow.
01:39:08.500 We stand up and applaud your bravery of taking all the money and complaining afterward.
01:39:13.200 Wow.
01:39:13.560 That's incredible.
01:39:15.580 Yeah, look, he was a big feature.
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.
01:39:24.340 They gave all the nuance to Adam Driver.
01:39:27.380 Now, he was the bad guy, right?
01:39:29.020 He's the, it looks like the, I don't know, he looked like the Backstreet Boy.
01:39:33.640 All the nuance to Daisy Ridley.
01:39:37.200 Let's be honest, Daisy knows this.
01:39:39.180 Adam knows this.
01:39:40.040 Everybody knows.
01:39:41.140 I'm not exposing anything.
01:39:43.500 Really?
01:39:44.600 Okay, so he, he's, he's just not happy with his character now.
01:39:50.440 I mean, you're right.
01:39:51.080 After the fact.
01:39:51.880 After the fact.
01:39:52.380 After he's made his millions of dollars.
01:39:53.720 After the fact.
01:39:53.980 He's very upset that he didn't get bigger.
01:39:56.680 I mean, I thought his role was pretty big.
01:39:58.740 I did too.
01:39:59.480 He complained about, I think, the Asian character as well, who was not a good character.
01:40:02.940 Unlike the.
01:40:03.680 Asian character.
01:40:04.160 Who was, which one?
01:40:05.220 I can't, I thought the name would be in the article.
01:40:07.320 I can't remember her name.
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.
01:40:13.480 But she just wasn't good.
01:40:14.880 Like sometimes the characters suck and you just got, you just got to bail on Jar Jar.
01:40:19.340 Yes.
01:40:19.840 Everyone, like they brought in Jar Jar.
01:40:21.120 They gave Jar Jar a huge role.
01:40:22.680 I don't know what race he was.
01:40:24.280 I don't either, but it was bad.
01:40:25.880 It was bad.
01:40:26.400 Whatever it was.
01:40:27.880 And.
01:40:27.960 Well, he was Gungan.
01:40:29.220 Gungan.
01:40:29.760 Yes, he was Gungan.
01:40:30.600 Now, I don't know.
01:40:31.120 Is there an anti-Gungan sentiment in Star Wars?
01:40:33.840 There might be.
01:40:34.520 There might be.
01:40:35.420 Well.
01:40:35.680 It was by the fans.
01:40:36.280 There definitely is with me because I hated that character.
01:40:39.520 Oh, he was terrible.
01:40:40.400 So they got rid of him basically.
01:40:41.800 Like he was still walking around in the background every once in a while.
01:40:44.340 So they could say they didn't get rid of him.
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.
01:40:50.340 He was in it.
01:40:51.020 And in the whole time.
01:40:52.640 I thought he might be arguing.
01:40:53.960 Why wouldn't they get me out of that last movie?
01:40:55.580 It was so bad.
01:40:56.820 They should have, they should have removed me completely.
01:40:58.660 They left me in because I was black.
01:41:00.520 It's not that bad.
01:41:01.640 I thought it sucked.
01:41:02.460 In fact, I liked it.
01:41:03.520 I liked the last one.
01:41:04.320 Yeah, you did.
01:41:04.660 You were.
01:41:04.960 It's my fourth favorite.
01:41:07.000 Out of the nine.
01:41:07.920 Of the nine.
01:41:08.780 It's number four.
01:41:09.600 Number four out of the nine.
01:41:10.860 After Empire Strikes Back, New Hope, Return of the Jedi.
01:41:15.380 So the first three.
01:41:16.440 And then you think this one.
01:41:17.380 And then this one.
01:41:18.500 I'm not on board with the Pat Gray analysis on that one.
01:41:21.540 No, no.
01:41:22.380 What's number four for you?
01:41:23.880 Because aren't the first three the, for you it's not even the first three, right?
01:41:27.560 I don't really like Return of the Jedi.
01:41:28.840 I think Return of the Jedi is very overrated.
01:41:31.180 I mean, it's just basically a bunch of Ewoks making noises.
01:41:34.600 It's really not, there's not a lot to it.
01:41:36.860 I'll say.
01:41:37.520 I actually like the first one that they came out, I guess we never said.
01:41:42.460 Like the 1997 one?
01:41:44.060 No, the Force Awakens, which was the first J.J. Abrams one.
01:41:47.680 Okay.
01:41:47.980 I actually liked that one.
01:41:49.080 I think you weren't as hot on that one as I was.
01:41:51.160 I liked it.
01:41:51.780 Okay.
01:41:52.160 I mean, it's all right.
01:41:52.960 I thought that one was pretty good.
01:41:53.760 The middle one was awful.
01:41:55.780 That one was really bad.
01:41:56.300 That was the one that was, I mean, they ruined Luke Skywalker in that one.
01:41:59.400 I hated that one.
01:42:01.520 I hated it.
01:42:02.440 And by the way, Pat, we should point this out.
01:42:04.080 But, you know, movies have been gone out of our lives for a long time.
01:42:08.100 This weekend is Tenet.
01:42:09.740 Right.
01:42:10.020 The first real big blockbuster movie being re-released.
01:42:12.480 It's already playing near me.
01:42:13.840 Yeah.
01:42:14.320 It's being re-released this week.
01:42:16.460 And it's the first one.
01:42:18.060 There's been a couple of other smaller releases that have come out, but this is the first one
01:42:21.280 they're testing.
01:42:21.780 It looks good, too.
01:42:22.280 It looks really good.
01:42:23.060 It looks really confusing.
01:42:24.240 I feel like I'm going to walk out having no idea what happened in it.
01:42:26.860 That's what I keep...
01:42:27.440 But I'm going to go.
01:42:28.080 Are you worried about going or are you going to go?
01:42:29.980 Oh, I'm not worried about going.
01:42:30.980 I've been to several movies.
01:42:32.220 I just...
01:42:32.860 Have you?
01:42:33.180 Yeah.
01:42:33.560 This has been...
01:42:34.220 Well, we went together to one.
01:42:34.960 That's true.
01:42:35.680 That is true.
01:42:36.580 Early on.
01:42:37.180 Really early.
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.
01:42:45.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:42:49.340 So no matter what goes on in the world, there are two things we can count on.
01:42:52.740 New music, new podcasts.
01:42:54.880 And the best way to listen?
01:42:56.220 Using a pair of premium wireless earbuds, especially if you can get them at less than half the price
01:43:01.720 of the other guys.
01:43:02.380 And I'm talking Apple.
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
01:43:13.700 and seamless Bluetooth pairing.
01:43:16.180 You'll get more bass than in previous models, a noise-isolating fit that really allows you
01:43:20.900 to focus on what you're listening to.
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.
01:43:34.000 Smith among the fans.
01:43:35.080 They offer a 45-day return policy, so give them a try.
01:43:39.100 Yeah, Snoop Dogg, I wear them too.
01:43:41.240 Limited time, 15% off Raycon wireless earbuds at buyraycon.com slash beck.
01:43:47.260 Buyraycon.com slash beck.
01:43:49.680 Doing our part to keep free speech alive.
01:43:53.100 There's much more after the break on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:43:56.280 Triple 8, 727-B-E-C-K.
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
01:44:16.940 it finally came to a conclusion.
01:44:18.140 Is this like the balloon thing?
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
01:44:24.180 months.
01:44:24.520 For months, yes.
01:44:25.200 Like 72 days, if I remember right.
01:44:26.680 I think it was over 100 days, if I remember right.
01:44:28.620 It was.
01:44:29.100 Okay.
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
01:44:37.800 to get it down, but then I thought-
01:44:38.780 But that would have been artificial.
01:44:40.100 Yeah.
01:44:40.220 You just wanted it to come down on its own.
01:44:42.100 I wanted an experiment.
01:44:43.140 And it took a long time.
01:44:43.880 It did.
01:44:44.840 Long time.
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.
01:45:01.440 I do.
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.
01:45:18.000 Like, she buys in bulk.
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.
01:45:27.420 You don't know.
01:45:28.240 And here we are.
01:45:28.960 It happened.
01:45:29.660 Right.
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.
01:45:56.060 We couldn't go out to a restaurant.
01:45:57.320 You could barely go out to a store.
01:45:58.820 Everyone's miserable.
01:46:00.680 Everyone's tense.
01:46:01.580 It was not a fun time.
01:46:03.080 And my kind of reaction to this process generally was just basically to spend money on things
01:46:09.620 I thought would make them happy for one day.
01:46:11.720 So, like, I would just go, I would order something off of Amazon, like a toy that I thought could
01:46:16.800 get my kids through one day.
01:46:18.460 That's all I was trying to do.
01:46:19.440 And I was, you just, things like spending too much money on paper towels was not something
01:46:27.320 I micromanaged during this period.
01:46:30.200 You're just like, whatever.
01:46:31.680 Like, how do we get through the next five days?
01:46:33.580 Like, you need more paper towels?
01:46:36.080 Yes.
01:46:36.580 Get the paper towels.
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.
01:46:48.100 Now, this is not a good thing, obviously.
01:46:50.560 You don't, this isn't, it's not.
01:46:53.180 So, these aren't bounty paper towels?
01:46:54.680 Well, no, they are bounty paper towels.
01:46:55.980 They are bounty?
01:46:56.300 They're bounty brand paper towels.
01:46:57.780 Oh.
01:46:58.480 Giant rolls, selected size.
01:47:00.580 It was, I believe, 12 rolls for $54.82.
01:47:04.380 There may have been 10 rolls.
01:47:05.640 It was something like that.
01:47:06.540 I almost did the same thing with the Clorox wipes.
01:47:10.040 Oh, yeah.
01:47:10.760 Yeah, that was a big one.
01:47:11.660 But I backed off at the very last minute.
01:47:13.500 That's probably a good decision.
01:47:14.580 And didn't do it.
01:47:15.140 And it was about $54 for, I think, two bottles of them.
01:47:18.760 Yeah.
01:47:19.220 Right, like crazy.
01:47:20.520 They were ridiculously priced.
01:47:21.380 And I'm not a person who opposes price gouging at all.
01:47:24.600 Yeah.
01:47:24.860 I know.
01:47:25.440 I was happy to see that they were available.
01:47:26.960 You've actually promoted price gouging.
01:47:28.200 I think it's a generally speaking good thing.
01:47:30.320 The problem, of course, is you have to.
01:47:31.400 It's not nice capitalism.
01:47:32.440 It's just real capitalism.
01:47:33.820 Yeah, right, right.
01:47:34.220 Supply and demand.
01:47:35.020 What is the alternative here?
01:47:36.440 People stock up at a lower price than it is, than the market price.
01:47:40.080 And then they're not available.
01:47:41.260 This is what happened with paper towels.
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.
01:48:11.800 But we're in a pandemic.
01:48:13.480 We need paper towels.
01:48:14.580 Fine.
01:48:15.000 Buy them.
01:48:15.280 I don't care.
01:48:15.840 You know, like, yeah, we'll deal with it.
01:48:17.760 You know, it sucks.
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.
01:48:25.460 Okay.
01:48:26.500 April comes and goes.
01:48:28.980 May comes and goes.
01:48:31.760 Still no paper towels.
01:48:33.100 June comes and goes.
01:48:35.100 Wow.
01:48:35.200 So now we're at the beginning of July.
01:48:37.060 Now paper towels.
01:48:37.580 You're talking about three months, right?
01:48:38.580 Right.
01:48:38.880 Obviously, this is just a scam, right?
01:48:40.560 Yeah.
01:48:40.880 So the paper towels are now back in the stores.
01:48:44.640 We have plenty of paper towels again.
01:48:46.340 Right?
01:48:46.400 Like, we never got these paper towels.
01:48:49.540 So my wife has tried to contact these people multiple times to say, hey, send the freaking
01:48:59.580 paper towels.
01:49:00.740 Of course, it goes to dead links.
01:49:02.420 No one answers.
01:49:03.280 They shut down the website.
01:49:04.620 Like, it's an obvious scam.
01:49:05.920 Okay.
01:49:06.500 So we contest the charge with the credit card.
01:49:12.680 Why do you have a credit card?
01:49:13.760 Right?
01:49:14.140 Why do you buy things online with a credit card and not a debit card?
01:49:17.660 Right?
01:49:17.920 Because you're getting basic consumer protections.
01:49:20.700 Right?
01:49:21.400 And I can't, I don't know that we've ever challenged a charge before, except for like
01:49:26.920 blatant fraud.
01:49:27.780 Someone ran up a thousand dollar charge on my card.
01:49:30.560 We would fight that.
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
01:49:38.240 credit card.
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.
01:49:57.840 You know, they have not done a good job here.
01:49:59.500 Yes.
01:49:59.900 And we should not be charged for it.
01:50:01.700 However, what actually came was not 10 rolls of bounty paper towels, giant size, select
01:50:09.900 a, select a size.
01:50:11.860 They were slightly different.
01:50:13.240 And I have them here.
01:50:14.220 I'm going to show them to you, Pat.
01:50:15.220 Okay.
01:50:16.440 This is exciting.
01:50:17.300 This is a...
01:50:18.120 Oh my gosh.
01:50:18.740 These are the rolls.
01:50:20.380 Now, you've got to be kidding me.
01:50:22.660 Yes.
01:50:22.900 What you see here is two, four, six, eight, 10.
01:50:25.060 There are 10 rolls.
01:50:26.740 This is not, first of all, not bounty brand.
01:50:28.920 Would you say that's fair?
01:50:29.580 I would say that's fair, not bounty.
01:50:31.600 They are not giant size, as they are smaller than my hand.
01:50:34.120 They are miniature size.
01:50:35.840 Right.
01:50:36.460 Also, they are not paper towels.
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.
01:50:46.500 Wow.
01:50:46.820 Right?
01:50:47.400 Just 10 mini rolls of toilet paper that are not bounty brand.
01:50:52.040 Now, so it's...
01:50:53.000 We ordered bounty.
01:50:53.720 It wasn't bounty.
01:50:54.580 We ordered paper towels.
01:50:55.540 It wasn't paper towels.
01:50:56.420 We ordered giant.
01:50:57.320 It wasn't giant.
01:50:57.900 We ordered in April and got it in July.
01:51:00.280 Okay?
01:51:00.960 So to me, pretty good argument to go to Capital One and say, hey, Capital One, obviously this
01:51:09.200 is a scam website.
01:51:10.320 They're manipulating this process.
01:51:12.400 So I turn that in with the order from the company and the picture of the toilet paper
01:51:18.460 to Capital One.
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.
01:51:28.560 Now, they did send me this.
01:51:30.120 Again, this is as big...
01:51:31.440 Not what you ordered.
01:51:32.080 To give you perspective, if you're listening on radio, there are 10 rolls here of the tiny
01:51:36.140 toilet paper.
01:51:37.120 It's about as big a roll as one paper towel roll.
01:51:41.140 If this was a paper towel roll...
01:51:42.680 Yeah, maybe.
01:51:43.520 Maybe one.
01:51:44.460 Maybe not quite one.
01:51:45.640 But they're not even a normal toilet paper roll.
01:51:48.600 It's not.
01:51:49.120 And it's also not a paper towel.
01:51:50.900 Right.
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.
01:51:57.340 Like, that's not okay.
01:51:58.460 Right.
01:51:58.780 Right?
01:51:59.220 Yeah.
01:51:59.380 You have to be...
01:52:00.160 You get the thing that you order.
01:52:01.780 Like, if you order, you know, a...
01:52:03.860 Well, I ordered a Ford automobile and they gave me a Fiat.
01:52:08.220 You'd say, well, that's not what I got.
01:52:09.700 That is clearly a scam.
01:52:10.820 Scam.
01:52:11.200 It's a scam product, obviously.
01:52:12.780 Yes.
01:52:12.880 Any human being would look at it and say it's a scam.
01:52:14.900 Yep.
01:52:15.300 So, I send them this.
01:52:17.200 They ask me for letters and documentation.
01:52:19.300 And it's a ridiculous amount of time they ask me to spend on this to try to get this
01:52:23.920 disputed.
01:52:24.800 But I'm doing it somewhat just because I think it's funny.
01:52:28.180 You know, it's at this point, like, it's $54.
01:52:30.960 I'm annoyed I'm losing the $54.
01:52:32.920 But also, it's just so ridiculous.
01:52:34.880 But it's not a big deal in your life.
01:52:35.660 So, they dispute it again.
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.
01:53:04.460 I got so...
01:53:05.240 I had gone down this road for so long.
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
01:53:21.680 company and get on company letterhead.
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.
01:53:35.080 Like, it's not what they are.
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.
01:53:47.300 No question.
01:53:48.580 Got the answer back yesterday.
01:53:50.020 They've sided with the Chinese scam company.
01:53:52.520 What?
01:53:53.760 And it's Capital One?
01:53:55.160 Capital One.
01:53:56.460 And I said...
01:53:57.060 That is unbelievable!
01:53:59.880 Unbelievable.
01:54:00.900 What?
01:54:01.580 Unbelievable.
01:54:02.760 Now, I can...
01:54:03.680 Oh, I would be pissed.
01:54:04.780 Oh, so I said to them in the letter, I said, look, I understand...
01:54:08.780 I'd be calling somebody.
01:54:09.800 ...that there are people who are scamming your company.
01:54:11.880 The entire business line.
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
01:54:19.120 screwed out of their money.
01:54:20.440 Wow.
01:54:20.620 And then, you know, most people are just going to give up.
01:54:24.640 It's a $54 charge.
01:54:25.820 Why even bother?
01:54:27.000 It was way more time than $54 was worth.
01:54:29.580 So that's why they, of course, gum up the process and make it as miserable as possible
01:54:33.620 for you to get the money that you deserve.
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.
01:54:42.000 And this is not a questionable one.
01:54:43.720 I have photos.
01:54:44.500 Not at all.
01:54:44.960 Not questionable.
01:54:45.660 I have the document from them that says Bounty right on it with the logo.
01:54:50.160 This is clearly not what they sent me.
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
01:54:59.840 go somewhere else.
01:55:00.560 I mean, it's ridiculous.
01:55:01.500 Yeah.
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
01:55:20.800 those?
01:55:21.220 You can make masks out of it.
01:55:22.700 So we made toilet paper masks out of a couple of the sheets of the toilet paper and we're
01:55:27.500 talking about it on the air.
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
01:55:43.340 Capital One.
01:55:44.180 And we have sold them for a $3,000 donation to Mercury One.
01:55:49.820 Oh, really?
01:55:50.360 So now people are actually...
01:55:51.700 Oh, that is awesome.
01:55:52.860 This ridiculous scam company is going to actually be helped out by one of our awesome listeners.
01:55:57.820 Did you get your $54 out of that though?
01:55:59.760 Did you take $54 out of the $3,000?
01:56:01.920 Oh, totally.
01:56:02.540 Mercury One doesn't get the whole thing.
01:56:03.660 I get a little bit of a fee on top of it, I assume.
01:56:06.240 Plus 10 or 15 or 20%.
01:56:07.180 I'll trade a $54 crappy paper towel scam for a $3,000 donation to Mercury One any day.
01:56:14.420 So it's a really good outcome.
01:56:16.260 But I mean, how bad is that?
01:56:18.160 Unbelievable.
01:56:18.440 Why do we bother with having credit cards?
01:56:20.460 That's stinking believable.
01:56:21.460 The most blatantly obvious scam.
01:56:24.440 And they're going to screw over a customer.
01:56:26.200 And by the way...
01:56:26.680 Really bad.
01:56:27.300 Really bad business.
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
01:56:36.420 a scam.
01:56:37.180 It's not like I'm turning in a dispute every two weeks and fighting, you know, I swear
01:56:42.220 I didn't buy this giant grill.
01:56:44.280 And here it is in my backyard.
01:56:45.120 No, I mean, that's egregious.
01:56:45.700 That's really egregious.
01:56:46.560 Egregious.
01:56:46.980 So pathetic job by them, but turns out into a good thing.
01:56:49.900 $3,000 to Mercury One to actually help people.
01:56:52.640 I'm excited about that.
01:56:53.500 Very cool.

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
01:58:44.400 One cars.
01:58:45.180 Yes.
01:58:45.580 Because they will side with you.
01:58:46.960 They are on your side.
01:58:48.540 Wow.
01:58:49.260 And the paper towels are in stores now, right?
01:58:51.900 Right.
01:58:52.220 I mean, they're fully back in stock, I think.
01:58:55.160 You know what's not back in stock yet?
01:58:56.600 Are the Clorox wipes?
01:58:57.420 Yeah, I know.
01:58:58.640 I'm really disturbed by that.
01:59:00.440 I think the New York Times wrote a story about it a couple weeks ago.
01:59:02.720 Yeah, they're not coming back until next year.
01:59:04.340 That's bizarre.
01:59:05.400 They thought it was going to be summer.
01:59:06.620 Yeah.
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
01:59:13.560 trying to over-clean right now.
01:59:16.000 Yeah.
01:59:16.260 And so they're going to a lot of medical facilities and corporations and stuff, and
01:59:19.000 so they're just really not making it.
01:59:19.880 They can't keep them in grocery stores or even get them to grocery stores.
01:59:23.280 Yeah.
01:59:23.520 And look, I...
01:59:24.300 That amazed me, though.
01:59:26.140 Didn't you think, okay, well, Clorox wipes.
01:59:28.460 I mean, that's a huge...
01:59:29.760 Clorox is huge.
01:59:30.900 They'll be back in stores.
01:59:32.720 Nope.
01:59:33.820 Yeah.
01:59:34.140 Not for a year.
01:59:35.000 There's something about...
01:59:35.760 It's not like...
01:59:36.700 You know what it is?
01:59:37.280 It's the material the wipe is made out of.
01:59:39.940 Is it what it is?
01:59:40.520 It's not even the chemicals.
01:59:40.940 Yeah, because they make it the same thing.
01:59:42.580 They make that...
01:59:43.640 The Clorox wipe with the same material that they make a lot of the PPE out of.
01:59:47.720 Oh, okay.
01:59:47.740 So it's going to the PPE.
01:59:50.020 So they just don't have enough of the material to make the actual wipes.
01:59:52.880 All right.
01:59:53.260 Which is fascinating.
01:59:54.180 It really is.
01:59:54.700 It is fascinating.
01:59:54.920 It is bizarre.
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.
02:00:03.440 It's amazing.
02:00:04.340 I mentioned this to you.
02:00:05.340 I was at...
02:00:06.140 You know, kids go to a camp, and there's like a gym there, and they have the stupid treadmills.
02:00:11.800 Mm-hmm.
02:00:12.320 And so you picture a treadmill.
02:00:13.780 You're running.
02:00:14.420 You have the little screen in front of you, right?
02:00:15.980 Mm-hmm.
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
02:00:23.400 to me.
02:00:24.660 I've seen them do it 10 times.
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.
02:00:36.880 Yeah.
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...
02:00:43.760 And then stick your tongue on it.
02:00:45.300 Right.
02:00:45.660 Yeah.
02:00:46.200 And I see them cleaning it all the time.
02:00:47.920 It's like, there's nothing that could happen.
02:00:49.840 It's great.
02:00:50.820 But that's what people are doing now to make everyone feel safe.
02:00:53.780 Yeah.
02:00:53.920 They're making sure they clean now in front of you instead of in the off hours.
02:00:57.640 They want you to know they're cleaning.
02:00:59.020 Right.
02:00:59.740 It's 2020, man.
02:01:01.440 I've noticed a lot of places.
02:01:02.440 I mean, movie theaters are doing that.
02:01:04.100 Yeah.
02:01:04.360 And where was I?
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.
02:01:12.300 A lot.
02:01:13.240 All right.
02:01:13.700 We'll see you again tomorrow for Glenn.
02:01:15.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
