The Glenn Beck Program - Are Russia & Ukraine FINALLY Nearing a Peace Deal？

00:00:00.000 Rinse takes your laundry and hand delivers it to your door, expertly cleaned and folded.

00:00:10.780 Like tea time you.

00:00:12.760 Mmm.

00:00:13.580 Or this tea time you.

00:00:16.100 Or even this tea time you.

00:00:18.680 So did you hear about Dave?

00:00:19.900 Or even tea time, tea time, tea time you.

00:00:22.760 Mmm.

00:00:23.740 So update on Dave.

00:00:25.780 It's up to you. We'll take the laundry.

00:00:28.060 Rinse. It's time to be great.

00:00:30.000 Let me talk to you about, well, this has to do with the holidays a little bit.

00:00:32.860 Because when you pick up a piece of clothing, it's hard to shake the feeling that everything has become disposable, right?

00:00:38.340 Thin fabrics and loose stitching and colors that fade before they've even settled in.

00:00:42.640 Every now and then, though, a brand reminds you what real durability feels like.

00:00:46.480 You know, what pride in American manufacturing actually looks like and why it still matters.

00:00:51.680 American Giant does exactly that.

00:00:53.820 And this stuff makes great gifts for the holidays, for Christmas, whatever you got going on.

00:00:58.160 They make their hoodies, their tees, their everyday essentials right here in America using heavy, beautifully knit fabrics and craftsmanship that refuses to cut corners.

00:01:08.720 They invest in American jobs.

00:01:09.960 They really care about this.

00:01:11.080 They really care about American workers.

00:01:12.660 Because they believe the story behind the product should be just as strong as the product itself.

00:01:17.460 And whether you buy from, you know, them or you're just, you know, going to go buy something else, they're going to keep making the stuff the highest quality possible.

00:01:24.420 Because they care about this.

00:01:26.100 In a world full of throwaway fashion, American Giant stands apart by refusing to make anything that just feels like throwaway stuff.

00:02:29.100 Thank you.

00:02:59.100 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

00:03:21.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:26.420 Yeah!

00:03:29.100 With Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.

00:03:32.940 888-727-BECK.

00:03:35.220 Well, there's been a turn of events in the charges against James Comey and Letitia James.

00:03:43.120 We'll get into that coming up in one minute.

00:03:46.560 Buying or selling a home is one of those life decisions that feel simple until you're actually standing in the middle of it.

00:03:51.600 Suddenly, you're dealing with pricing and negotiations and inspections and repairs and timing and a whole stack of paperwork that has a way of expanding every time you turn around.

00:04:01.740 That's why the agent that you work with matters more than ever.

00:04:04.720 Realestateagentsitrust.com was built for that exact moment when you realize you don't just need an agent.

00:04:10.720 You need the right one.

00:04:12.540 This is a network of top-performing agents across the country who earn their way through results, not through advertising.

00:04:19.660 These are experienced negotiators.

00:04:21.320 They understand markets in a way that only locals can, and they're not going to disappear the moment the listing goes live, which is really important.

00:04:29.840 These are agents that know how to navigate bidding wars.

00:04:32.920 They know how to price a home so it attracts serious buyers without leaving money on the table.

00:04:37.860 And how to keep the process moving when the unexpected pops up, which, if you've ever bought or sold a home, it always does.

00:04:52.140 So, Federal Judge Cameron McGowan Curry dismissed the charges against ex-FBI Director James Comey

00:05:03.340 and New York Attorney General Letitia James yesterday.

00:05:07.860 So, the President's not very happy about that.

00:05:10.800 Dismissed the case, which was brought by President Trump's hand-picked prosecutor in Northern Virginia, Lindsay Halligan,

00:05:17.240 on the basis that Halligan is not lawfully serving as the interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

00:05:25.260 So, the White House is not happy.

00:05:28.700 I guess they're going to appeal.

00:05:30.280 And, who knows?

00:05:36.500 Who knows where we go from here?

00:05:38.300 Which is the way that's clear?

00:05:40.300 I don't know.

00:05:41.960 I don't know.

00:05:43.780 It's a, you know, it's an interesting thing.

00:05:46.840 I think it's sort of a feature.

00:05:48.380 Some would argue a feature.

00:05:49.460 Some would argue a bug of the Trump administration.

00:05:52.020 You know, like, if you think back to traditional Republicans, right, that have been in office before.

00:05:57.940 There's a complaint by many in the conservative movement or MAGA movement or whatever you want to call it these days is they are too buttoned up on traditions and process and rules and all these things that exist.

00:06:17.000 Because sometimes for seemingly dumb reasons, right, like there's little tradition, oh, I would never do that.

00:06:23.620 No, you can't do that.

00:06:25.020 And one of the things I think that got Trump the nomination in 2016 and a victory again in 2024 was a lot of people saying stop with that, right?

00:06:36.880 Like stop constantly every time we have a victory, stop, you know, grabbing it out of the grabbing defeat out of the jaws of victory for no real reason.

00:06:48.140 The left doesn't do that.

00:06:49.740 We shouldn't do that either.

00:06:51.220 And so it's become and this is a boring word to lead a show with, but it's a process question, right?

00:06:58.480 It's about process and one of the it's simultaneously, I think, with the Trump administration, one of the reasons why people voted for Donald Trump is because he wasn't obsessed and got bogged down with every bit of process and tradition and, you know, unspoken, unwritten rules and all of that.

00:07:17.960 He was willing to kind of just blow through a lot of that stuff to get stuff done.

00:07:21.260 And people love that about him.

00:07:22.540 But it's a blessing and a curse because not every one of these things is an unwritten rule.

00:07:29.460 Some of them are written rules, you know, and here, you know, he's in a bit of a gray area.

00:07:35.780 We don't know exactly how this is going to work out.

00:07:37.680 As you point out, we don't I mean, you know, the courts are going to rule on it.

00:07:41.000 But, you know, he had a guy who was in this office as a in a temporary way and he didn't like what he was doing.

00:07:49.700 It was coming up to the deadline to file these charges against these people.

00:07:53.600 You know, whether this they don't necessarily admit that this was the reason, but it, you know, it was, in my opinion, that they they wanted to get these charges in before the deadline.

00:08:04.140 So this guy wasn't going to bring them.

00:08:06.000 The people, the career officials inside this office said they didn't have a case.

00:08:10.340 So they were like, we need to get someone who's going to bring this case.

00:08:13.120 We think there is a case.

00:08:14.560 So they brought in Lindsay Halligan, who had never prosecuted a case before in her life at any level.

00:08:18.900 Yeah. You know, I mean, that's what they did.

00:08:21.140 And that is not even the issue.

00:08:23.580 It doesn't even seem like she the reason why this was tossed out was not because she made some big mistake is what they're saying is you can't layer a temporary role on top of a temporary role.

00:08:37.400 The way this is supposed to work is they there has to be advice and consent for the Senate.

00:08:42.540 And they did not get that with not only Halligan, but also the previous guy who was in there.

00:08:47.020 They were like, well, we didn't get that yet.

00:08:48.880 And we need to get advice and consent eventually.

00:08:50.360 But if they don't get that, they can just put a temporary person in the role.

00:08:53.360 What they can't do is put a temporary person in the role, fire them and put another temporary person in the role and just keep recycling through that until they get what they want.

00:09:01.260 That's at least what the court is saying at this point.

00:09:03.520 Now, whether that will be overturned by higher courts, we don't know yet.

00:09:06.460 They're going to appeal this.

00:09:07.320 It's going to go up the chain.

00:09:08.400 But a lot of this stuff, I'd argue the same thing happened with tariffs, is that they want to get something done.

00:09:15.440 And I think Trump is a guy that comes to his people and says, look, this is what I want to do.

00:09:19.420 Get it done.

00:09:20.140 Find a way.

00:09:21.300 And sometimes this is not Trump's doing.

00:09:24.200 I don't think Trump was like, I must have these tariffs through IEPA, this emergency rule.

00:09:30.060 I don't think that's what he said.

00:09:31.200 I think he said, get them done.

00:09:32.720 I'm doing them.

00:09:33.580 This is how we're going to do it.

00:09:34.480 But you go out there, you find the path and find it, make it legal, make it constitutional.

00:09:40.780 I don't think he's saying, oh, gosh, break the rules.

00:09:43.640 I think he's saying, this is what I want to do.

00:09:45.680 Find the correct path to do that.

00:09:47.620 I'm a guy that gets things done.

00:09:48.760 This is how he ran his real estate empire, right?

00:09:51.880 Like, get it done.

00:09:53.380 Do it in the rules, but get it done.

00:09:55.980 And so his people, I don't know how they're doing this stuff.

00:09:59.240 Some of this stuff, to me, sounds completely buttoned up.

00:10:02.060 Some of it sounds like couldn't really find what they, what, you know, what they wanted.

00:10:07.540 So sometimes it feels like they're just going to like chat GPT and saying whatever the first

00:10:12.020 thing they could come up with is, honestly, is, you know, I don't know.

00:10:15.280 The IEPA justification for tariffs falls into that category for me.

00:10:19.040 We'll see what the courts say.

00:10:19.940 And the Supreme Court is going to be ruling on this soon.

00:10:22.140 Yeah.

00:10:22.340 But, you know, so it's a law that doesn't even mention the word tariffs.

00:10:25.020 So I don't think it justifies that.

00:10:26.760 So, but they do that and then they get caught up in this process battle, which is somewhat

00:10:33.380 distracting from what Trump actually wants to do.

00:10:36.740 And sometimes, you know, as a blessing and a curse, some of this stuff has really helped.

00:10:42.040 Some of it has pushed stuff through that's important.

00:10:44.220 And sometimes we get caught up in court battles that actually derail the goal of the Trump

00:10:49.920 administration in the first place.

00:10:51.400 At least that's how I see it.

00:10:52.720 Is that kind of your view?

00:10:53.880 Yeah, I think so.

00:10:55.160 It's just that, you know, the courts have been so intrusive into everything Trump has

00:10:59.980 tried to do.

00:11:00.880 This is like another one where it's just like, okay, can you just let the executive branch

00:11:08.120 do something?

00:11:10.300 And they don't.

00:11:11.740 I mean, they're into everything.

00:11:12.820 How many injunctions has he had?

00:11:15.380 I think it's 44, 45 or something in nine months.

00:11:20.200 It's unbelievable when in eight years under Obama was something like 12.

00:11:26.560 I don't know.

00:11:27.600 But it's amazing how he has been stymied at every turn.

00:11:32.400 And I can understand their frustration.

00:11:34.560 And I think a lot of times it's legitimate, right?

00:11:36.580 Obviously, I think the courts have been kind of crazy against Donald Trump.

00:11:39.800 That's not exactly a breaking news segment.

00:11:43.980 I think that if he, it's an argument that I bet they're having behind closed doors often,

00:11:50.280 which is we have two ways of going here.

00:11:52.860 We can try to be so buttoned up that we never get challenged in court, but we know what's

00:11:57.340 going to happen.

00:11:57.860 Of course, we're going to get challenged in court.

00:11:59.320 And of course, these courts are going to come after Donald Trump because they don't like

00:12:01.680 what he does.

00:12:02.100 So instead of worrying about all that up front, let's just roll the dice.

00:12:08.080 And here's a path.

00:12:09.460 Let's go down that path and see what the courts say.

00:12:11.400 If they say no, we'll go a different path.

00:12:13.480 Yeah.

00:12:13.800 And I mean, again, it's not healthy.

00:12:16.820 It's not a healthy way to be running a justice system, right?

00:12:22.560 Like it should not be constantly, okay, the default judgment is against Donald Trump.

00:12:26.680 So let's make his life as difficult as possible and let's see if he can navigate a way through

00:12:32.140 all this.

00:12:32.780 Like that's, that shouldn't be, it shouldn't be the way it works.

00:12:35.920 It shouldn't.

00:12:36.860 And the other part that's just agonizing is that it's given James Comey a victory here.

00:12:42.680 And so we got to put up with this.

00:12:45.000 Why would you, why would you play this?

00:12:46.680 You don't need to play it.

00:12:48.060 You could just, we could skip it.

00:12:49.460 We could, I suppose.

00:12:51.160 No, let's listen.

00:12:52.340 About the appointment of the attorney general on that situation.

00:12:56.220 I did think that that was going to be an issue.

00:12:58.600 And I did think from the very beginning that Comey was going to have a valid legal argument.

00:13:03.900 And what's interesting about the decision is it doesn't go to whether or not crimes are

00:13:09.200 actually committed.

00:13:10.120 It just goes to the way in which the prosecutor was appointed.

00:13:14.700 So I'm not surprised legally when it comes to that issue.

00:13:19.920 Okay.

00:13:20.180 That's not exactly what I thought it was going to be.

00:13:21.880 I thought it was James Comey, but this is them explaining what you kind of just explained.

00:13:27.120 But he comes out and talks about, you know, how he's been so wronged.

00:13:32.700 And this is a victory for democracy and all that kind of stuff.

00:13:36.220 And it's just agonizing, agonizing that he's, he's got this little win for now.

00:13:41.600 Because he's so smug.

00:13:42.980 Oh, he really is irritating.

00:13:44.780 He's so warm-y.

00:13:45.380 Yeah.

00:13:46.200 Let me ask you this, Pat.

00:13:48.740 If I had to give you a list of the people Donald Trump despises the most, would you put James

00:13:56.380 Comey at the top of it?

00:13:57.800 It'd be pretty close.

00:13:58.560 He'd be up there.

00:13:59.380 He's a top five guy.

00:14:00.720 Oh, for sure.

00:14:01.180 I think so.

00:14:01.880 I think he's up there.

00:14:02.760 For sure, top five.

00:14:03.720 I think he's top five.

00:14:05.180 Who else would you put on that list in a top five situation?

00:14:07.580 Mike Pence?

00:14:09.720 Probably.

00:14:10.080 Probably Mike Pence would be up there.

00:14:12.340 Thomas Massey?

00:14:14.000 Lately, it does seem like Thomas Massey's up there.

00:14:17.040 Always.

00:14:17.960 He also called Rand Paul like a wacko lunatic or something the other day.

00:14:23.280 I feel like, and let me push back on your top five list a little bit here, Pat.

00:14:28.120 Yes.

00:14:28.680 Because this is an important distinction.

00:14:30.340 It's an important list.

00:14:31.140 As you know.

00:14:31.800 It is an important list.

00:14:32.660 This is a revered list of who does Donald Trump hate the most.

00:14:35.820 And unfortunately, the guy who's off this week, who probably a former member of that

00:14:41.160 list, Glenn Beck, not here to chime in on this.

00:14:45.560 But I think like Massey and Paul are interesting because at times he's okay with them.

00:14:55.640 Yeah.

00:14:55.840 I think he should be.

00:14:58.560 They're great.

00:14:59.040 First of all, I agree.

00:14:59.980 I like both Massey and Rand Paul.

00:15:01.960 The reason why they disagree with Donald Trump on these things occasionally is because they

00:15:06.460 are ideological libertarian types.

00:15:10.380 Yeah.

00:15:10.800 I tend to like that.

00:15:12.120 And they care about our debt.

00:15:12.840 They care about our debt.

00:15:13.880 They care about, you know, constitutional rules that a lot of times, you know, even conservatives

00:15:18.280 aren't that focused on.

00:15:20.260 Right.

00:15:20.580 Now, you could say they're right or wrong on that, but like they're not coming after Donald

00:15:24.060 Trump because they hate Donald Trump.

00:15:25.940 That is like, I think you can really make an argument that James Comey, you know, maybe this

00:15:31.080 wasn't always true, but certainly it's true now.

00:15:33.500 Just can't stand Donald Trump and would do anything he can to destroy the guy.

00:15:37.200 He hates him.

00:15:38.040 And I think, and I don't think that's true with, I don't think that's true certainly

00:15:42.320 with Mike Pence throughout his life.

00:15:44.900 I mean, he was very, very loyal to Donald Trump up until the very end where they got in this

00:15:49.580 a bit of a, a little bit of a scuffle politically.

00:15:53.960 Uh, so, but I think like oftentimes Massey and Rand Paul vote with Donald Trump.

00:16:02.220 And in those moments he has, he's whatever.

00:16:04.380 He just, they're more of like an irritant.

00:16:06.200 It's like, shut up.

00:16:07.420 Stop, stop getting in my way.

00:16:08.840 Like, I think that's how they think he thinks of them, but I don't think he despises those

00:16:11.580 guys, even though he trashes them online sometimes.

00:16:14.420 I think Comey.

00:16:16.420 Comey's one of those.

00:16:17.140 He like could not hate more.

00:16:18.680 John Bolton.

00:16:19.760 Oh yeah.

00:16:20.700 Yeah, definitely.

00:16:21.460 Bolton falls into this category.

00:16:23.100 Yes.

00:16:23.940 I don't know.

00:16:24.300 Barr, maybe, maybe, maybe is in that category.

00:16:27.820 Like it's, it's more like personal, you know, I think his disagreements with Rand Paul are

00:16:32.560 like ideological.

00:16:33.360 Like he gets annoyed because he's not doing a specific thing that he wants at that point

00:16:39.820 where I think with James Comey, it is personal.

00:16:43.320 Yeah.

00:16:43.800 And here he is gloating.

00:16:45.080 Here's a great.

00:16:46.380 I'm grateful that the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution.

00:16:50.200 It's not over.

00:16:51.080 Based on malevolence and incompetence and a reflection of what the Department of Justice

00:16:56.060 has become under Donald Trump, which is heartbreaking.

00:16:59.160 This is amazing.

00:16:59.740 But I was also inspired by the example of the career people who refuse to be part of

00:17:04.360 this travesty.

00:17:05.280 Okay.

00:17:05.720 It costs some of them their jobs, which is painful, but it preserved their integrity,

00:17:10.260 which is beyond price.

00:17:11.880 And it helped you.

00:17:12.480 And I know they will serve again.

00:17:14.000 I was very lucky that some of us lawyers in America stepped forward to represent me.

00:17:20.360 I hope they serve as an example to more and more lawyers, especially at some of the big

00:17:24.320 firms, to participate in protecting our liberty, protecting the rule of law.

00:17:30.040 And my family and friends were always with me.

00:17:33.300 And luckily for me, include some of those great lawyers.

00:17:38.060 Wow.

00:17:38.920 Beautiful.

00:17:39.260 This case mattered to me personally, obviously, but it matters most because a message has to

00:17:44.720 be sent that the President of the United States cannot use the Department of Justice

00:17:49.500 to target his political enemies.

00:17:51.980 Okay.

00:17:52.360 Stop it.

00:17:52.520 Which is exactly what they did to Trump.

00:17:54.640 They used the Department of Justice to prosecute an enemy.

00:17:57.600 They did exactly that.

00:17:59.520 And it's just amazing that he can say that with a straight face.

00:18:02.100 Here's the problem with that argument, though, from your perspective, Pat, is you're not

00:18:04.760 supposed to remember that.

00:18:06.140 Yeah, that's true.

00:18:06.900 The best thing for the left and the media would be if you forgot completely about that.

00:18:12.060 What if, like, what if going forward, you didn't bring it up anymore?

00:18:15.820 What about that?

00:18:17.100 Is that a possibility?

00:18:18.140 It would be helpful for them.

00:18:19.200 It would be helpful for them.

00:18:20.800 And, you know, that's a big part of my calculation.

00:18:25.400 What's going to be helpful to the James Comeys and the entire left in this country?

00:18:31.840 Because that's how I make a lot of decisions.

00:18:34.980 Really?

00:18:35.500 I thought so.

00:18:36.100 I thought so.

00:18:36.760 Well, it's so irritating because they showed no restraint whatsoever.

00:18:44.740 Remember, it wasn't one case.

00:18:46.660 They were like, hey, look, you know, January 6th.

00:18:48.700 We think this was important to look into.

00:18:50.120 It wasn't like they came up with something like that.

00:18:52.000 It was, oh, here's every single thing.

00:18:54.820 It's the same process argument we just had with Trump in a way.

00:18:57.940 And that, like, they broke every rule, every tradition, breaking things like statute of limitations to go after Donald Trump.

00:19:07.960 They went after him in any way they could possibly do, whether it was civil cases, criminal cases, pressures, trying to get him thrown off ballots, trying to, you know, get him constitutionally barred from office.

00:19:24.680 Right.

00:19:26.520 Obviously, they tried to impeach him and did impeach him and tried to get him removed, failed there.

00:19:31.620 They tried every single thing they could.

00:19:34.680 They broke every single tradition.

00:19:36.900 They broke every single unwritten rule and many written rules to try to throw this man in prison so he would not get the job he currently has.

00:19:44.580 And they were warned every step of the way.

00:19:46.240 Hey, you might not want to do this.

00:19:47.480 You won't always be in power.

00:19:48.820 Right.

00:19:49.040 You know, and then immediately, immediately when he's in the office and he does something they don't like, like, can you believe?

00:19:57.560 Oh, my goodness.

00:19:59.140 The Department of Justice has always been so pristine.

00:20:02.900 And now this man is using it against people from the opposing party.

00:20:10.180 It's like, oh, calm down.

00:20:12.320 The other one I feel the same way about is, we are risking political violence.

00:20:18.680 Are we?

00:20:19.400 Let me whisper into the president's bloody ear and ask him about how he feels about it.

00:20:25.880 Are we risking political violence, boys and girls?

00:20:30.020 Insane.

00:20:30.620 It's so insultingly stupid.

00:20:34.120 888-727-BECK.

00:20:36.000 More coming up.

00:20:36.680 One minute.

00:20:37.200 Holiday time is high crime season, but not all crime should be addressed the same way.

00:20:43.320 According to a 2022 FBI stat, firearms are necessary less than 1% of the time.

00:20:49.120 Burna covers the other 99% of altercations.

00:20:52.220 With the firepower that is necessary to incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

00:20:57.460 So next time you think you need lethal force, think of Burna.

00:21:00.840 Start with Burna.

00:21:01.900 B-Y-R-N-A.

00:21:03.240 I carry one myself.

00:21:04.220 I recommend every family concerned about safety should have a Burna launcher.

00:21:08.320 The new Burna Compact is the world's smallest, less lethal pistol, concealable anywhere.

00:21:13.340 It fires powerful kinetic and tear gas rounds that can stop an attacker cold for up to 40 minutes.

00:21:17.880 With 60 feet of range, you can confidently and effectively de-escalate a situation without the use of lethal force.

00:21:24.900 No background checks, legal in all 50 states, ship straight to your door,

00:21:28.460 and Burna is approved by the pros, trusted by hundreds of law enforcement agencies.

00:21:32.160 Visit Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com and find the right launcher for your family.

00:21:36.280 B-Y-R-N-A dot com.

00:21:37.540 That's Burna dot com.

00:21:38.640 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn This Week, 888-727-B-E-C-K.

00:21:54.920 Some interesting things from Sean Duffy as we prepare for, I think, isn't tomorrow the biggest travel day of the year?

00:22:02.580 That's what they always say.

00:22:03.460 So we're preparing for the biggest travel day of the year with this announcement from Sean Duffy.

00:22:08.240 Civility.

00:22:09.800 Some of you might have noticed that we've launched a civility campaign.

00:22:13.780 And I think it's important as we travel that we think about not just ourselves, not just our families,

00:22:20.220 but we think about those who are around us.

00:22:22.600 And we call our better angels.

00:22:24.560 In a busy time, and again, the airports are going to be packed, TSA lines may be a little longer,

00:22:31.540 and you might not be able to find a seat as you're by your gate because of the number of flights that are going out or coming in.

00:22:39.800 But I think we have to think about how do we do a better job?

00:22:43.320 How do we maintain maybe some of that frustration we have as we travel this Thanksgiving season?

00:22:48.320 Maybe we should say please and thank you to our pilots and to our flight attendants.

00:22:55.420 I think, again, I call this just maybe dressing with some respect.

00:23:01.320 You know, whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better,

00:23:07.380 which encourages us to maybe behave a little better.

00:23:11.480 Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport.

00:23:15.900 I think that's positive.

00:23:16.840 Uh, okay.

00:23:18.720 Um, hmm.

00:23:20.260 Thank you, Daddy Sean.

00:23:21.920 That's, uh, that's good advice.

00:23:23.580 So dress a little nicer if you're going to the airport this year.

00:23:26.980 He doesn't want to see you in pajamas and slippers, which I never see at the airport anyway.

00:23:32.340 Do you see people, a lot of people wearing pajamas?

00:23:34.540 I mean, I think there is a...

00:23:35.540 Maybe on an overnight flight, the kids sometimes?

00:23:38.140 I was going to say younger.

00:23:39.300 Yeah.

00:23:39.580 Not even kids, kids.

00:23:40.700 But, like, there's a teenager thing where they wear pajamas all over the place these days.

00:23:44.480 Pat, these, these children of today, they tend to wear their PJs to the airport.

00:23:53.360 Um, I, like, I try to wear, look, I, you know, I like Sean, but I wear as comfortable clothing as possible to the airport.

00:24:01.940 I don't, I've got three inches between me and the seat in front of me.

00:24:05.520 I'm going to dress comfortably.

00:24:06.720 Yeah.

00:24:06.980 Frankly, I'm not, I'm not wearing a suit and tie.

00:24:09.100 Sorry.

00:24:09.900 Sorry, bud.

00:24:10.560 This is Glenn Beck.

00:24:18.680 There's always somebody on my list that is impossible to shop for.

00:24:21.940 Tanya is a given.

00:24:23.140 What do you get for your wife that really is perfect and special in every way?

00:24:27.340 Something that you know she'll just love?

00:24:28.920 I have no idea.

00:24:30.020 She is impossible for me to buy for.

00:24:32.980 Unless I shop at Cozy Earth.

00:24:36.240 The bamboo pajama set, she wears them every night.

00:24:39.160 She loves them.

00:24:39.860 They're made from soft, stretch-knit bamboo that drapes and sleeps degrees cooler than cotton.

00:24:45.920 She's always cold.

00:24:46.940 It's warm for her.

00:24:48.240 It's lightweight.

00:24:48.980 It's cozy.

00:24:49.600 It's perfect for the holiday mornings or winter nights.

00:24:52.020 Plus, the Cozy Earth bubble cuddle blanket is also something.

00:24:56.360 I just got her one of those.

00:24:58.040 Oh my gosh, she loves it.

00:25:28.000 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.

00:25:52.000 Another thing the left are having a bit about is the fact that the Pentagon announced yesterday

00:25:59.140 they're investigating Democrat Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona over possible breaches of military law

00:26:04.660 after he joined a handful of other lawmakers in a video that called for troops to defy illegal orders.

00:26:12.860 What illegal orders have they received?

00:26:18.640 They can't seem to answer that question.

00:26:22.080 They really don't want to answer it.

00:26:23.900 No, because the answer is none.

00:26:25.520 They haven't received any illegal orders.

00:26:28.580 So what is it you're...

00:26:29.820 I mean, why are you saying this all of a sudden?

00:26:32.740 So they're...

00:26:33.160 It's a good question.

00:26:34.280 Yeah.

00:26:34.620 Where did this come from?

00:26:36.260 Why?

00:26:36.600 They're just making stuff up out of whole cloth.

00:26:39.500 How do you feel about the Pentagon investigating Mark Kelly?

00:26:46.380 You know, a lot of it's complicated military rule or rules, right?

00:26:50.000 Like all the people in the video, it's only Mark Kelly.

00:26:52.620 My understanding of that is because he's the only one that's retired.

00:26:57.440 Yeah.

00:26:58.560 Okay.

00:26:58.980 You have to basically be out of the military for 20 years.

00:27:01.640 And then there's this...

00:27:03.180 He's retired.

00:27:04.060 Again, every military person is like, how...

00:27:06.000 You don't know what you're talking about.

00:27:07.140 This is my stupid, I never served for the country understanding of this.

00:27:11.420 So please bear with me a little bit.

00:27:13.100 Maybe we'll be corrected if you know differently than this.

00:27:16.480 But he basically is the only one that is in that category of retired, which means they

00:27:21.480 can call him back.

00:27:22.780 And he can be asked about this and under the military code of justice, which came out in

00:27:28.560 the 50s, right?

00:27:30.280 Through this.

00:27:30.900 So anyway, long story short, there is a constitutional question to this in that he is in Congress

00:27:39.120 and also has a responsibility through the military.

00:27:43.540 So this is, I think, an interesting academic question here in a separation of powers sense

00:27:47.660 that like, can the executive say you need to leave what you're doing in Congress?

00:27:54.040 Can the executive boss Congress around?

00:27:56.480 A lot of times the answer to that is no.

00:27:58.380 And by the way, when everyone says, oh, there's co-equal branches, really Congress is the superior

00:28:02.700 branch in our system.

00:28:04.580 I mean, you know, the president can't impeach a member of Congress.

00:28:08.600 Congress can impeach the president.

00:28:10.900 Congress can do lots of things that they are the superior branch in a way.

00:28:17.340 But there's separation of powers.

00:28:18.800 You can't just boss the other one around.

00:28:20.080 And that's the argument that they're going to present, I'm sure, in court, whether it's

00:28:23.320 to even whether as to whether he even has to respond to this as far as whether he did

00:28:28.600 something wrong here.

00:28:29.840 I think he definitely did something wrong, you know, morally, politically, because his

00:28:37.340 motivation is not pure when it's when he says, OK, guys, no illegal orders.

00:28:43.940 Everybody in the military already knows that.

00:28:45.680 What they're trying to do is get the military not to listen to Trump.

00:28:48.720 Right.

00:28:49.360 And that's what I think his motivation is.

00:28:51.600 However, he didn't say that.

00:28:54.340 And, you know, his his language, I thought in all in that entire video, it was very clean.

00:28:59.540 Like they knew the risk was there if they started saying, don't listen to Donald Trump.

00:29:04.440 So they didn't say it that way.

00:29:06.340 Careful not to do that.

00:29:07.300 They were very careful not to do it.

00:29:08.560 So I don't know that there's a legal case against them unless new information pops out.

00:29:13.120 What they might be doing here, Pat, I don't I don't know.

00:29:15.380 But what they might be doing is is trying to start a legal proceeding that allows them

00:29:19.620 to look at maybe the messages that led to the video.

00:29:23.160 Yeah.

00:29:23.640 And maybe in there they really they reveal their actual motivation for doing it.

00:29:28.140 And that could be a problem.

00:29:29.720 I don't think what we know publicly at this time would lead to that.

00:29:34.820 Yeah.

00:29:35.380 Legally.

00:29:35.920 Again, I think it was awful.

00:29:37.220 And when I first saw it, my first thought was like, wait a minute, are you saying or

00:29:40.880 you want the them to listen to the commander in chief that like that?

00:29:45.660 There's all sorts of horrible.

00:29:47.000 You know, Glenn was talking about sedition and all these things.

00:29:49.200 Yeah.

00:29:50.180 If we find more information that indicates that that might be a legitimate path.

00:29:55.200 I just don't know that we know that yet.

00:29:56.760 President Trump did ramp it up a little bit when he when he accused the lawmakers of sedition

00:30:04.800 and and mentioned that sedition is punishable by death.

00:30:08.440 So that made it seem to them supposedly like he's threatening to have them executed, which

00:30:16.180 he's I don't think he was directly doing, but he's just reminding them, hey, if you commit

00:30:22.320 sedition, if you commit treason, that's that's the only penalty that's actually spelled out

00:30:28.700 in the Constitution and what it calls for is death.

00:30:31.780 Yeah.

00:30:32.380 Well, it's an interesting distinction you're making there, Pat, because he kind of see

00:30:37.940 this is a squawks that line a little bit and sometimes goes over the line just a tad.

00:30:43.280 I think there is literally and I mean this literally I'm using the word correctly here.

00:30:49.560 There's zero risk for any of these people to be executed.

00:30:53.520 Of course.

00:30:53.940 Right.

00:30:54.180 Like that is not actually going to be.

00:30:56.100 He did sort of insinuated and kind of say it.

00:31:00.280 I don't think he did.

00:31:01.000 I don't know.

00:31:01.520 I have to look up the definition of insinuate.

00:31:02.920 He sort of just said it right like that they deserve it.

00:31:05.600 There's zero chance it's going to happen.

00:31:07.540 And this is why like a lot of the media nonsense is so irritating to me.

00:31:13.640 It's like they all know.

00:31:15.340 Yeah, he's not.

00:31:16.220 They're not going to go through a treason.

00:31:17.800 He's not saying he's going to try them and execute them.

00:31:21.540 Quite obviously.

00:31:22.960 He's not doing that.

00:31:23.820 Right.

00:31:24.140 But what he's trying to do, I assume, is number one, get under their skin.

00:31:29.060 But number two.

00:31:30.100 He's good at that.

00:31:31.080 He is good at it.

00:31:32.500 Number two, say, hey, this is a serious problem.

00:31:36.240 And this is why what we talked about yesterday is true.

00:31:39.020 I think it is a serious problem.

00:31:40.720 Yeah.

00:31:41.300 I think that's a problem.

00:31:42.460 There was no reason for that video to be released, to be produced and released.

00:31:48.560 Why?

00:31:49.480 Who's giving illegal orders?

00:31:52.520 No one.

00:31:53.640 So what are you even trying to do here?

00:31:56.460 You're just, I mean, it's obvious what they're doing.

00:31:59.200 They're just trying to impede Trump at every turn.

00:32:03.880 Yes.

00:32:04.540 And in a way that I think here is really dangerous.

00:32:06.780 Yeah, absolutely.

00:32:08.220 They are trying to get people.

00:32:10.240 And this is their way of everything from the baseline level, Pat, of they're trying to stir up whistleblowers.

00:32:16.420 Right.

00:32:16.820 They're trying to get people who are against Trump in the White House or excuse me, in the military to say, hey, this is wrong.

00:32:24.960 This is wrong.

00:32:25.480 This is wrong.

00:32:26.020 And leak it to Democratic officials.

00:32:27.280 Right.

00:32:27.480 Like that's probably their baseline idea.

00:32:29.760 Bigger than that, I think there is a a they would they would absolutely love a high profile military member to come out in public and say, we are not allowed to go in these cities.

00:32:43.200 And this president is a fascist.

00:32:45.160 Oh, my God.

00:32:45.580 They would love that.

00:32:46.040 They would love that.

00:32:46.700 They're encouraging that at the very least.

00:32:49.980 Now, it might be more than that, but I think that that's, you know, probably a good chunk of what they're attempting to do here.

00:32:58.220 They're trying to be able to have people they can they can file lawsuits through.

00:33:04.340 They're trying to stir up all sorts of opposition within the ranks because, you know, they hate him more than anything in the world.

00:33:16.040 I know it sounds simple.

00:33:17.740 I maybe some of them believe some of this.

00:33:21.420 I don't know.

00:33:21.980 I don't know any of them personally.

00:33:24.040 And they're like, I don't think any of them have a high enough profile that I could honestly like separate them from the average Democrat.

00:33:31.680 They're all very boring zilches in Congress.

00:33:34.600 Like there's not there's no one really of no I mean, Mark Kelly is the biggest one.

00:33:37.740 And again, Kelly was overlooked by vice president.

00:33:41.460 This is something I did very well on prediction markets on Pat was I looked at.

00:33:47.220 I even said this on the air when we were talking about who are they going to who is Kamala going to pick for VP.

00:33:52.800 And I went I went through this part of the process I go through when I'm looking at on paper and I look through all those people on paper Shapiro and walls and all of them.

00:34:03.460 And I looked at Mark Kelly and I was like, on paper, he is the best choice.

00:34:08.600 You've got a swing state in play.

00:34:10.000 You've got a guy who served in the military or, you know, he can give you that astronaut, you know, all these things.

00:34:16.080 Right.

00:34:16.620 Like cool things.

00:34:17.500 I went through the whole thing and I was like, on paper, this is the guy.

00:34:21.040 And I said on the air, I still have to do my film study, though.

00:34:24.700 You know, when you listen, you know, you listen to if you're a fan of an NFL team and you like listen to all their podcasts and stuff, they'll go through.

00:34:31.800 And every once you'll get a podcast on film study, they'll be like, this is they're running this pattern too much.

00:34:35.620 Their defense is lining up in this formation too often against this, you know, the nerds, the nerd stuff.

00:34:40.960 And film study for that, for me, is I go watch.

00:34:45.280 And how good is this guy?

00:34:47.360 How just take out the policy, take out his credentials.

00:34:51.260 When I watch him, is he any good at this?

00:34:53.940 Is he good at speeches?

00:34:54.780 Is he good at speeches?

00:34:55.600 Is he good at a debate?

00:34:56.780 Remember, in a vice presidential debate, all of that.

00:34:59.180 There's only one thing that really matters when you pick a vice president when it comes down to it, which is how does he do in that debate?

00:35:05.740 Like, they're really the only thing that matters.

00:35:07.460 And I watched a bunch of debates and press conferences and speeches, and I was like, they are not picking this guy.

00:35:14.900 Oh, he's bad?

00:35:15.180 He just sucks.

00:35:16.360 He just sucks.

00:35:17.180 He looks nervous.

00:35:18.780 He looks like he's reading.

00:35:19.620 He looks like he's trying to memorize stuff.

00:35:21.260 Now, you see him at certain times, and he's pretty natural when he's on his turf.

00:35:25.520 When he's talking about something he cares about, he's not bad.

00:35:29.380 When you put him in a position of a debate, he's just really bad at it.

00:35:32.880 He's not good at it.

00:35:33.680 He's not convincing.

00:35:35.480 He's stilted and bad.

00:35:37.760 And so, that was when I was like, you know, buying shares of no, because I just didn't think it was going to happen.

00:35:45.000 Now, I have to admit on that one, I was also shocked that they picked Tim Walls.

00:35:50.380 Because you talk about bad.

00:35:52.020 Because he's horrible in every way.

00:35:54.240 He's bad on paper and bad on film.

00:35:57.560 He's the worst.

00:35:59.280 Yes.

00:35:59.840 Yeah.

00:36:00.740 Lied about his military service.

00:36:03.520 Lied about his drunk driving thing.

00:36:06.500 Was terrible at speeches.

00:36:08.700 Yeah.

00:36:08.940 I don't know how they stumbled on him, but I'm glad they did.

00:36:11.400 I'm glad they did, too.

00:36:12.340 Because he was awful.

00:36:12.620 He did eat up some of my profits from the Mark Kelly decision, unfortunately.

00:36:19.240 I was like, there's no way they're going to pick Tim Walls.

00:36:21.720 What are you talking about?

00:36:22.760 But they did, thankfully.

00:36:25.540 But, like, that's the thing.

00:36:26.240 So, again, my point there is that none of these people are really of note.

00:36:32.640 You know, you're kind of like, who?

00:36:34.660 Wait, that.

00:36:35.720 Honestly, when I watched the video, I didn't know they were all congressmen.

00:36:39.400 No, I.

00:36:39.860 I do this for a living.

00:36:40.780 Yeah.

00:36:41.080 I didn't even know they were all congressmen.

00:36:42.500 I think Mark Kelly was the only one I recognized.

00:36:44.560 I. Slotkin.

00:36:45.360 Wasn't Slotkin in there?

00:36:46.420 I knew her.

00:36:47.020 There's a couple in there, but I don't.

00:36:48.340 A couple of them, I was like, who is that guy?

00:36:50.560 It's like they were like the John Tyler of congressmen.

00:36:53.540 Like, wait, John Tyler was a president of the United States?

00:36:56.940 Really?

00:36:58.140 Are you sure?

00:37:00.700 He's like, oh, okay.

00:37:02.560 I didn't know that.

00:37:04.240 That's who they are.

00:37:05.480 And so, I think a lot of it is, you know, they just, you know, well, they were in the CIA or they were in the military.

00:37:12.100 That's really their only qualification for anyone caring about what they would say.

00:37:16.100 And Kelly's the only one of note that would be even worth going after, I think.

00:37:19.240 They're all kind of nobodies.

00:37:20.800 They're all kind of silches.

00:37:21.460 The only reason we know about him is because he was an astronaut.

00:37:24.440 I mean, nobody knows anything about his time in Congress.

00:37:29.060 We know that his wife was shot.

00:37:31.080 We know that.

00:37:31.860 Oh, do we?

00:37:32.140 We know two things about him.

00:37:33.320 I don't know.

00:37:34.240 I've never heard him talk about it, Pat.

00:37:35.880 I know.

00:37:36.440 I've never heard him bring it up one time.

00:37:39.560 You know, he does it at every single opportunity, including this one, by the way.

00:37:44.100 Exploit the terrible tragedy that happened to his wife.

00:37:46.900 He doesn't do that at all.

00:37:48.000 This happened with this case because of, as you mentioned, Donald Trump's, what is it, truth about the death penalty.

00:37:57.840 It was like, wait, this is not a time to bring up political violence.

00:38:01.060 I know a little something about political violence.

00:38:03.460 My wife was shot in the head.

00:38:05.460 And like, look, that was an absolutely terrible thing.

00:38:07.840 It had nothing to do with political violence.

00:38:10.500 The person who did it was literally insane.

00:38:13.600 Literally.

00:38:13.740 He was upset about grammar, grammar.

00:38:17.820 He had a fascination with structures of sentences and punctuation.

00:38:24.880 He was completely insane.

00:38:26.980 It was not political violence.

00:38:28.680 He was just nuts.

00:38:29.580 We should have blamed English teachers for that shooting.

00:38:32.320 We should have.

00:38:32.600 We should have put English teachers in prison because they inspired that guy.

00:38:37.060 Yes.

00:38:37.740 Right?

00:38:38.540 Exactly.

00:38:39.300 Thank you, Pat.

00:38:39.800 Too much talk about grammar set him off.

00:38:42.340 So, 888-727-BECK.

00:38:44.820 More coming up.

00:40:21.880 You inch forward, you stall, you try again.

00:40:25.340 Look, it's this time of year, right?

00:40:27.220 It's Thanksgiving and we're talking about a time of year where you're going to shovel giant amounts of food down your gullet.

00:40:33.120 And it's going to feel great for a day.

00:40:35.160 And then you're going to want to say, hey, maybe I should turn things around.

00:40:38.260 Let me give you Lean for a way to help with that.

00:40:41.040 Lean is a doctor-formulated weight loss supplement built for people who want to see real progress without turning to injections or medications.

00:41:01.040 Brickhouse is the company that makes this stuff.

00:41:02.700 They're great.

00:41:03.380 They have a ton of different stuff.

00:41:05.040 They're offering 30% off on creatine.

00:41:07.520 This is creatine formulated specifically for women.

00:41:10.020 The research on creatine is really, really positive.

00:41:12.780 And it would make real differences for you.

00:41:16.220 There's also Field of Greens we talked about before.

00:41:18.200 This is a super fruit extract.

00:41:20.680 It's a powder that is backed by a university study showing that it can actually slow aging.

00:41:37.000 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

00:41:54.740 Our friend Ali Beth Stuckey had a guy on her show who was talking about the genocide of Nigerian Christians.

00:42:03.960 Oh, wow.

00:42:04.260 And I've learned a lot that I didn't know about it up until this point because what you hear from the mainstream news is that it's not really happening.

00:42:16.000 Nah, it's not happening.

00:42:17.500 And in fact, if it does happen, they're killing Christians and Muslims.

00:42:22.180 Well, he kind of clears up what is going on there, and it's a radicalized faction of Islam called the Fulani tribe, which I guess has exploded in population over the last 30 years.

00:42:37.780 And they are a very hardcore Sharia law group, and they're trying to take over Nigeria.

00:42:49.160 And so if you don't convert to their form, their vision of Islam, then you are killed, and that's Christian or Muslim.

00:42:58.760 Now, he says it's about 5 to 1 Christians being killed over Muslims, and they've wiped out in 800-some villages or communities of Christians.

00:43:13.380 In fact, Nigeria used to have a 70% Christian population.

00:43:18.400 Were you aware of that?

00:43:19.160 I had no idea that it was 70% Christian.

00:43:22.240 I thought it was 70% prince.

00:43:25.540 People are princes.

00:43:26.500 70% of the population are princes.

00:43:28.140 The Nigerian population?

00:43:29.440 Yes.

00:43:29.640 Yeah, at least from my email box.

00:43:30.780 You would think from your emails.

00:43:31.560 Yes.

00:43:31.940 Yeah, that it would be, but it's not.

00:43:33.300 It's not.

00:43:33.660 No, it's not.

00:43:34.900 And some of the things that I get in my email box, they don't seem very Christian.

00:43:37.960 They seem like they're exploiting old people.

00:43:39.940 It does seem that way, doesn't it?

00:43:41.560 Yeah.

00:43:41.820 But no, apparently, some of them, those people probably aren't the ones sending the emails.

00:43:46.300 Probably not.

00:43:47.180 Yeah.

00:43:47.440 Probably not, would be my guess.

00:43:49.680 That's fascinating, though.

00:43:50.360 It's a really bad situation.

00:43:51.420 It's gone from 70% to about half and half now because of the slaughter of Christians.

00:43:55.740 It's just really a tragic situation.

00:43:58.700 But the media just won't get on board, won't say anything about it.

00:44:04.640 In fact, they do the opposite.

00:44:06.180 They deny it's even happening.

00:44:08.480 It's a lot like what happened in South Africa.

00:44:10.480 There's no white farmers being killed there.

00:44:12.560 But the Christians in Nigeria committed an October 7th attack, right?

00:44:17.640 That's what caused this?

00:44:18.700 No.

00:44:19.020 Oh, no?

00:44:19.580 No, they did not.

00:44:20.700 Oh, wow.

00:44:21.320 Wow, that's interesting.

00:44:21.980 So, yeah.

00:44:24.100 This is Glenn Beck.

00:44:26.420 Back pain just runs kind of pretty much every day, no matter what.

00:44:43.940 Fortunately, Chirp builds tools that cut through all the trial and error and give you something that actually feels engineered for relief.

00:44:51.200 They have a flagship device.

00:44:52.380 It's called the Chirp Contour.

00:44:54.380 And it's a three-in-one system for decompression, massage, and heat therapy.

00:44:58.680 And you pick the pressure that you want, gentle or deep tissue or the contoured mode.

00:45:03.160 And then you set it the way that you like.

00:45:06.700 It remembers, which is great.

00:45:08.100 You don't have to keep resetting it every time.

00:45:09.640 The Chirp Halo uses wearable magnetic attachments that lock right into place so that you're hitting the problem area exactly where you need to instead of sort of chasing it around.

00:45:19.060 You manage everything through the Chirp app, which makes the whole thing seem very easy and predictable.

00:45:24.940 And their relief wheels add something that you can't get from a mat or a floor stretch.

00:45:29.560 It's really great, and you're going to love it.

00:45:30.900 For Black Friday, they've got early access, $100 off the Chirp Contour, $40 off the Chirp Halo, 20% off relief wheels, discounts on Halo pads, RPM, RPM Mini.

00:45:40.680 Go to GoChirp.com, sign up for early access.

00:46:24.600 Down the road where shadows hide

00:46:28.600 Feel the dark on every side

00:46:31.220 Stand your ground when times get dark

00:46:33.860 Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire

00:46:36.740 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:46:42.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:49.600 Featuring Pat and Stu this week.

00:46:52.360 It looks like the GOP might have a big solution on healthcare.

00:46:58.540 We're going to get into that.

00:46:59.340 Plus, some developments maybe on the peace front for Ukraine and Russia.

00:47:04.880 That and a lot more coming up in one minute.

00:47:08.040 Most people don't think about their mortgage until something forces their hand.

00:47:11.280 You know, you may have a jump in payment or a rate change

00:47:14.880 or the creeping realization that too much of your monthly budget

00:47:18.600 is getting swallowed by interest.

00:47:20.620 The truth is, a lot of families are carrying around loans

00:47:23.100 that don't actually fit their lives anymore.

00:47:25.220 American Financing exists to fix that problem.

00:47:27.900 They're a family-owned mortgage company that focuses on helping you

00:47:31.340 take control of your debt instead of letting it drift year after year after year.

00:47:35.900 What makes them different is that they don't try to shove you

00:47:38.080 into whatever product happens to be popular that month.

00:47:41.560 They're salary-based, which means their team takes the time

00:47:44.600 to look at your entire financial picture,

00:47:46.220 figure out where the pressure points are,

00:47:48.200 and help you find a custom solution that gives you breathing room again.

00:47:52.640 Sometimes that means refinancing to a lower rate, sure,

00:47:55.300 but sometimes it means just shorting the term,

00:47:56.960 or sometimes it means consolidating higher interest debt

00:47:59.440 so that you're not throwing money away every 30 days.

00:48:02.720 American Financing gives you a clearer path forward.

00:48:05.040 Please call American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440,

00:48:12.160 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

00:48:16.380 NMLS 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.

00:48:19.540 APR for Ritz and the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

00:48:23.320 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

00:48:26.880 Remember, Stu, back in 2009, 2010,

00:48:31.300 when the whole Obamacare situation began,

00:48:34.080 and we were somewhat opposed to it, I would say.

00:48:37.400 Really?

00:48:37.820 At the beginning, yeah.

00:48:38.740 See, I don't remember.

00:48:39.800 You don't remember that?

00:48:40.820 Yeah.

00:48:41.080 So we were against health care?

00:48:41.880 It was Barack Obama, wanted this Obamacare thing.

00:48:45.280 Oh, that's right.

00:48:45.760 We wanted, see, I could have.

00:48:47.880 That's right.

00:48:48.420 We wanted people to die.

00:48:49.880 Yes.

00:48:50.280 We wanted tonsils to be piled up in the streets.

00:48:54.040 Right.

00:48:54.360 Because people, as you know.

00:48:55.440 And removed just for no reason.

00:48:56.660 For no reason.

00:48:57.460 No reason.

00:48:57.940 Just because they're getting payments.

00:48:59.080 That's what these doctors do.

00:49:00.600 Exactly.

00:49:01.140 These evil doctors are just taking out tonsils and amputating feet.

00:49:05.040 If you remember at the time, there was a big problem with feet.

00:49:08.700 Proud about the feet thing.

00:49:09.920 Kind of piled up on the side of the road at almost every intersection

00:49:12.660 because doctors would just take feet off.

00:49:14.720 You come in for a cold, they chop off your foot.

00:49:16.920 Well, it meant an extra $500 for them.

00:49:18.920 Yeah.

00:49:19.180 What are you going to do?

00:49:19.840 They don't care.

00:49:20.380 If you can get an extra $500, you're going to take somebody's feet off.

00:49:23.140 This is what doctors do.

00:49:24.480 That's what they do.

00:49:25.060 Your hometown doctor would rather you have no feet.

00:49:30.520 Than him not have $500 in the bank.

00:49:32.920 And that was a big problem at the time.

00:49:34.760 And we were like, let's continue that problem going forward.

00:49:37.920 We loved it.

00:49:38.720 We loved it when people lost their feet for no apparent reason.

00:49:41.460 And tonsils.

00:49:42.440 And, yes.

00:49:43.200 I will say we've always been anti-tonsil here on the Glenn Beck program.

00:49:46.520 It's been a big.

00:49:47.060 It was one of the foundational.

00:49:47.700 I had my mind taken out when I was like six.

00:49:50.580 Foundational principle of the show, honestly.

00:49:52.200 We were like, what can we do that's different than what everyone else is doing?

00:49:54.980 We're like, what if we're just taking a strong stance against tonsils?

00:49:58.340 And what about foot amputation?

00:49:59.760 Are you for it?

00:50:00.420 And we were all for it.

00:50:01.380 We were like, oh, yeah.

00:50:02.020 We all agreed.

00:50:02.640 Especially Glenn.

00:50:03.420 Glenn was like, I want every person's feet to be removed.

00:50:06.700 Exactly.

00:50:07.180 All of them.

00:50:07.700 And piled up at intersections.

00:50:09.400 Yes.

00:50:09.780 That was a big Glenn policy at the beginning of the show.

00:50:12.500 And I think we won that battle for a long time until that dastardly Barack Obama came

00:50:17.740 around and was like, no.

00:50:18.980 Darn him.

00:50:19.520 I want people's feet to be attached to their legs.

00:50:21.940 Yeah.

00:50:22.100 So they can walk around.

00:50:23.300 And stop taking tonsils out needlessly.

00:50:25.920 I know.

00:50:26.440 We were like, what kind of position is that to take?

00:50:29.520 Crazy.

00:50:29.800 And somehow he won with his Obamacare, which solved all of our health care concerns.

00:50:33.940 Pat, if you remember.

00:50:34.740 And you remember when it went down $2,500 per year per family?

00:50:38.560 What did you spend that $2,500 on?

00:50:39.860 Do you remember?

00:50:40.300 I don't remember now.

00:50:42.780 Because what happened was it just became so routine to me, saving the $2,500 every year

00:50:48.120 after year after year.

00:50:49.180 That I just kept spending and spending, spending.

00:50:52.460 It's like Clark W. Griswold.

00:50:54.040 He just thought that bonus was part of his salary.

00:50:56.540 And then they gave him the Jelly of the Month Club membership.

00:50:59.460 And he was very disappointed in that because he depended on it for part of his salary.

00:51:03.040 He's going to put in a new pool, Pat.

00:51:05.400 However, in this case, these doctors were depending on the foot amputation fees they were receiving.

00:51:12.180 And then they dried up.

00:51:13.120 And then they just dried up.

00:51:14.660 That's why so many doctors went out of business almost instantly.

00:51:18.660 No doctors left in this country until Obamacare came and solved that problem, too.

00:51:23.040 We had a lot of problems with our health care, Pat, until Obamacare came around.

00:51:26.340 And as you remember, it was pitched to us as this big solution to all of our problems when it came to health care.

00:51:32.440 And it's made everything worse.

00:51:34.260 Now it's made it.

00:51:34.840 Well, first of all, it's made everything worse.

00:51:36.140 Prices have gone up.

00:51:36.940 We never saw that $2,500 savings.

00:51:39.280 Still feet and tonsils piled up all over the place.

00:51:41.360 If you liked your doctor, it didn't matter to the government.

00:51:43.520 If they didn't like your doctor, you couldn't keep your doctor.

00:51:45.900 No.

00:51:46.200 So all of the promises of this were, of course, failures.

00:51:48.880 But what I find to be most interesting about all of this, Pat, though, is not that conservatives were completely right about basically every single aspect of this plan and how it was going to fail.

00:52:02.300 What I find to be just wonderful is, come back to sarcasm now, just wonderful is the fact that the hardcore conservative position currently is, what if we just keep regular Obamacare?

00:52:23.600 That's the right wing position right now.

00:52:28.440 And honestly, that's aspirational because it seems like the Senate and House and President are going to line up behind a deal that is going to allow the enhanced subsidies to continue for some concession.

00:52:42.700 May I ask you a question in regards to this whole thing?

00:52:44.960 I would love to hear it.

00:52:45.840 But don't we have a majority in Congress right now where we don't have to put up with this?

00:52:51.500 Democrats have 80 senators.

00:52:52.940 Oh, wow.

00:52:53.500 I'm pretty sure.

00:52:54.620 Wow.

00:52:54.940 And they have 433 House members.

00:52:58.160 They're all Democrats.

00:52:59.260 Wow.

00:52:59.880 Apparently.

00:53:00.700 Huh.

00:53:01.180 Because that is.

00:53:02.420 It doesn't make any sense.

00:53:03.800 No.

00:53:04.160 How did this happen where they just don't do anything about it now?

00:53:08.820 Yeah.

00:53:08.960 When they have the power to, they just don't.

00:53:10.840 No.

00:53:11.160 Well, I mean, they act as if the John McCain thumbs down was the end of their.

00:53:15.600 We just can't try anymore.

00:53:18.260 Okay.

00:53:18.640 John McCain said no in 2017.

00:53:21.620 And so, therefore, we could never address this problem ever again.

00:53:24.480 Wow.

00:53:25.140 Because it would come off as mean.

00:53:27.320 People want their free money.

00:53:29.040 And if we don't give them their free money, they won't have their free money.

00:53:32.000 And, Pat, you might say, well, what about.

00:53:33.460 Look, there are people who don't have enough money to afford health care.

00:53:37.340 They're maybe poor.

00:53:38.560 Right.

00:53:39.200 On the lower income scale.

00:53:41.280 And those people should have their Obamacare.

00:53:43.260 We should remind you they're not on Obamacare.

00:53:45.840 There's already a program for those people.

00:53:48.180 Those people go on Medicaid.

00:53:50.480 That's a different program which exists and, by the way, is also not the conservative position to get rid of that.

00:53:56.820 Right.

00:53:57.280 Or Medicare or any other program, apparently.

00:53:59.680 Social Security.

00:54:00.360 None of these things are even considered by the right anymore to get rid of.

00:54:04.140 Despite the fact that it's obviously consistent with what we believe the government should be doing, we just ignore it and continue to pay out trillions of dollars for all these programs.

00:54:14.480 But you might say, Pat, what about those enhanced subsidies?

00:54:19.900 They must be very important.

00:54:20.880 And to rewind a little bit here for people who maybe have not followed the back and forth of every part of this debate.

00:54:29.120 Obamacare comes in.

00:54:30.920 What we say is, hey, there's going to be problems with all these risk pools that you are creating because what you're asking to occur is that a bunch of healthy people are going to pay for the health care of a bunch of sick people.

00:54:44.080 And a bunch of young people who are generally expected to be healthy are going to pay for the health care of a bunch of older people.

00:54:51.740 And that's not right.

00:54:53.940 Like, they're not going to want to do that.

00:54:56.600 You can't constitutionally force them to do it.

00:54:58.820 They tried.

00:54:59.840 But you can't constitutionally force them to do that.

00:55:01.640 That was overturned in the courts.

00:55:03.060 So you're going to have a situation where younger people are going to be like, well, my rates keep going up and up and up and up and up.

00:55:08.400 And I'm not even using this health care system.

00:55:11.200 This seems like a problem to me.

00:55:12.500 I'm no longer going to pay you for it.

00:55:14.840 So the rate now we have a bunch of sick people in a risk pool and the rates keep going up.

00:55:19.900 And then that means more healthy people drop out and then the rates go up and then more healthy people drop out and then the rates go up and then more healthy.

00:55:25.580 So now that's why the rates have gone through the roof over these years.

00:55:28.100 This is why what you're feeling if you're in Obamacare is real.

00:55:30.940 This is something very much predicted by every single critic of Obamacare.

00:55:36.100 All that happened.

00:55:37.380 So we get into the COVID period.

00:55:39.800 There's an emergency.

00:55:40.580 And luckily for the Democrats, they are able to take advantage of emergency.

00:55:44.520 Someone once said, never let a crisis go to waste.

00:55:46.960 So the way they did not let that crisis go to waste in this particular instance was to add enhanced subsidies on top of the already generous subsidies that the government gives people to buy Obamacare, depending on your situation.

00:56:02.500 And that that was a bill passed in 2020.

00:56:07.440 And maybe you could justify it, Pat, through 2021.

00:56:11.620 Maybe that was justifiable.

00:56:13.060 Again, I tend to not like those approaches, but it was a crazy time.

00:56:18.740 I think we can all look back at this.

00:56:20.120 Remember, Donald Trump was in office in 2020.

00:56:22.840 A lot of Republicans voted for that, too.

00:56:24.860 But they voted for it for one year.

00:56:28.020 One year.

00:56:29.100 Hey, got a really tough time this year.

00:56:31.960 Let's do this this year.

00:56:33.660 And then we'll stop doing it after this year.

00:56:36.820 What you may remember is, of course, Joe Biden was elected.

00:56:39.240 He goes into office and then he has a different opinion on what we should do.

00:56:42.820 Yeah.

00:56:43.040 And they extend this from 2021 to 2025.

00:56:46.960 So this is what leads to the shutdown.

00:56:49.560 These extensions are now going away and enhanced subsidies means basically more free money on top of the free money already out of Obamacare.

00:56:56.040 So what conservatives at that time were saying was, hey, let's be really conservative and put Obamacare into place.

00:57:04.820 And then liberals are saying, no, Obamacare would be a disaster and hurt lots of families.

00:57:10.500 What we need is a lot more money on top of Obamacare, enhanced Obamacare, a new Coke Obamacare on top of it.

00:57:17.900 And Republicans are like, oh, I want Obamacare classic.

00:57:20.660 That's legitimately what the argument was during the shutdown.

00:57:24.440 Now, of course, the shutdown's passed.

00:57:27.480 And Republicans are now admitting their actual position, which is we actually want to go to the enhanced subsidies for more time.

00:57:34.400 And what do the enhanced subsidies mean?

00:57:36.080 I don't know if people understand this because a lot of people think, oh, well, poor people need health care.

00:57:39.620 They can't pay for it.

00:57:40.520 OK, that's not that's Medicaid.

00:57:42.320 Here's enhanced subsidies.

00:57:44.600 Obama, how many people you have in your family, Pat?

00:57:46.460 You have a let's go back to you when you're 300, about 300.

00:57:50.340 No, I mean, in your in your in your direct family, in your household.

00:57:55.460 Right now, two hundred and two hundred and seven.

00:57:58.980 It's just the two of us now.

00:58:00.620 You know, I was thinking, though, like when you have all your kids in the house, like they're all in school.

00:58:05.320 So six, so let's use that as the parents.

00:58:07.580 So what Obamacare says is, I don't think I don't think your parents would be caught.

00:58:12.680 This would be depend dependents only, but I don't know how that would work.

00:58:15.400 But OK, I think it's only let's just count the six.

00:58:17.940 Let's take you back to like you're in kids are in, you know, from high school down to grade school.

00:58:22.560 They're all home.

00:58:23.140 Yep.

00:58:23.520 You're putting them all in your on the health Obamacare program.

00:58:26.560 What Obamacare says, Obamacare classic.

00:58:31.520 Says that you should get free money for health care if you earn less than one hundred and seventy two thousand six hundred dollars.

00:58:40.040 Wow.

00:58:40.580 That's Obamacare classic.

00:58:43.440 OK.

00:58:44.120 OK.

00:58:45.140 What the Obama make one hundred and seventy one thousand dollars.

00:58:48.260 I get these.

00:58:49.640 I get these benefits.

00:58:52.740 Yes.

00:58:53.420 One hundred and seventy two thousand six hundred dollars or less.

00:58:55.780 Wow.

00:58:56.240 OK.

00:58:56.620 So it's very poor.

00:58:59.080 You make a little bit less than the U.S.

00:59:02.120 representatives, than the congressmen and senators.

00:59:04.860 Because they make what?

00:59:06.040 One seventy five.

00:59:07.460 Yeah, it's interesting.

00:59:08.780 Yeah.

00:59:09.320 Now, the enhanced subsidies, they have different programs.

00:59:12.160 So that is interesting.

00:59:13.020 It's an interesting line.

00:59:14.900 The enhanced.

00:59:15.700 So what now enhanced subsidies are all different and everything else.

00:59:18.900 The the income side, the restriction.

00:59:22.780 Now, this is the restriction.

00:59:24.120 What Republicans are saying is, hey, we can't make this like unlimited because what the enhanced subsidies did is basically took away a lot of the limits.

00:59:31.220 What Republicans are saying, we need a conservative approach.

00:59:34.720 OK.

00:59:35.380 So the conservatives are stepping up and they're saying, hey, it's ridiculous.

00:59:39.860 One hundred and seventy two thousand dollars.

00:59:43.360 Obamacare.

00:59:43.900 That would be insane to implement that sort of limit.

00:59:46.260 But what we suggest as conservatives is a limit of three hundred and two thousand.

00:59:51.520 Oh, my gosh.

00:59:52.460 And fifty dollars for that family of six.

00:59:55.160 You should be able to guess for Obamacare.

00:59:57.220 Obamacare subsidies should apply to a family making three hundred thousand dollars a year.

01:00:03.800 Gosh.

01:00:04.280 Which is a lot of money.

01:00:05.460 I have not heard that.

01:00:06.700 It's insane.

01:00:07.980 Yeah.

01:00:08.220 And that's what what we're coming back with.

01:00:10.340 We're saying, hey, guys, sure, we'll give you these enhanced subsidies for a couple of years.

01:00:14.660 But we got to limit the income to three hundred thousand for a family of six.

01:00:18.800 Come on.

01:00:19.620 We're conservatives after all.

01:00:21.460 Wow.

01:00:22.200 Wow.

01:00:22.880 Now, this is a lot of this is political.

01:00:25.640 What they are saying is they don't want to be responsible for people having their health care bills go up.

01:00:30.480 They know what the media is going to say.

01:00:31.960 They know what Democrats are going to say.

01:00:33.280 And what they're doing, to be clear, cowards, folding, they're cowards, folding to this pressure.

01:00:39.820 They are in the majority.

01:00:41.840 Keep in mind.

01:00:42.460 Yes.

01:00:43.280 Republicans are the majority in the House and in the Senate.

01:00:47.680 And they're still caving in like this.

01:00:51.540 On real.

01:00:53.160 What are the Democrats want?

01:00:54.980 What is their demand to be higher and more unlimited?

01:00:58.240 Right.

01:00:58.460 They don't want the limits.

01:00:59.800 Wow.

01:01:00.180 There are no limits on income.

01:01:01.860 You know, off the top of my head, I can't remember.

01:01:03.440 There are some instances.

01:01:04.980 I think there are.

01:01:05.780 I thought if I'm remembering right, it's been a couple of weeks since I did.

01:01:09.540 I did a monologue on Studios America about this.

01:01:11.240 You want to go back and nerd out on the details of the program.

01:01:14.440 But off the top of my head, I remember they removed the limits because of the covid thing and then extended that.

01:01:19.660 So it was a situation.

01:01:21.680 And most people who are making this type of money are in the Obamacare program.

01:01:25.120 Right.

01:01:25.260 Most people have jobs and are not in.

01:01:28.620 They're getting their health care through the employer, which is, by the way, a whole nother set of problems.

01:01:31.860 Like, yeah, that would be something that would be great if we could solve.

01:01:34.940 And maybe Republicans could come up with a plan that addresses core parts of this program.

01:01:41.120 I think the issue here is they just are afraid whatever they do is going to come off as mean.

01:01:46.500 And so they're just not going to do anything.

01:01:48.700 They're going to try to limit the damage of a program they say they don't like.

01:01:52.940 But honestly, I don't know what evidence there is of that at this point.

01:01:56.400 I don't know.

01:01:57.600 Incredible.

01:01:58.380 I think that's terrible, frankly.

01:02:00.820 You know, we should be proposing something that is dynamic and new and different that changes the system, actually solves these problems for people long term.

01:02:10.160 But I don't think it's a huge priority of anybody in Congress or anybody in Washington, frankly.

01:02:14.040 Obviously not.

01:02:14.940 Wow.

01:02:15.140 So, 888-727-BECK.

01:03:21.860 All of this stuff, it's Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.

01:03:34.760 All of this stuff that has been put in place because of the pandemic, it's not just health care.

01:03:42.580 It's not just Obamacare subsidies.

01:03:44.560 It was voting situations too.

01:03:49.020 The drop boxes were put out so that you didn't have to be around a bunch of people at the polling place.

01:03:57.180 A lot of mail-in, new mail-in restrictions or non-restrictions.

01:04:03.340 They opened that up because of the pandemic.

01:04:06.460 And we can't get rid of any of it now because the Democrats cry about it every single time.

01:04:10.520 And then if you change any of it, like we were thinking that we wouldn't have Toyota Corollas owned by government employees driving around and picking up ballots in packs of 300 from each household.

01:04:23.740 If you think if you want to limit that program, then you hate democracy.

01:04:27.940 Right.

01:04:28.340 So you can't do it.

01:04:29.480 And so there's been very little pushback.

01:04:31.240 Some states have curbed some of it, but not in impressive ways.

01:04:35.100 You know, I think at times we lose track as to how damaging that period was.

01:04:40.980 Obviously, a lot of people died, right?

01:04:42.840 There's, you know, there's a lot of like the first level concerns, but how much damage was done through the COVID period.

01:04:49.280 But to our republic, yeah, it really hurt us.

01:04:53.160 Another example of this, and I'm convinced of this largely.

01:04:55.880 I could potentially theoretically be wrong on it, so I will admit that.

01:04:59.980 But I'm pretty convinced of this.

01:05:01.840 There's a chart that's been going around.

01:05:03.260 You probably saw it, Pat, that showed home ownership for first time home buyers.

01:05:09.860 And it shows a dramatic increase.

01:05:12.620 And people are like, you know, since, you know, we were kids, the numbers change from like 32 to 40 for first time home buyers.

01:05:20.800 You talked about this on Packer Unleashed.

01:05:22.360 Yeah.

01:05:23.320 And it's a big thing.

01:05:24.380 And it is a real problem.

01:05:27.100 However, looking at the data, I'm pretty convinced that the problem is almost exclusively from COVID.

01:05:35.760 Oh, really?

01:05:36.260 Yeah.

01:05:36.620 Because when you look at it, that 32-year-old first-time buyer holds from the time when I was in high school all the way till 2019.

01:05:46.380 It's 32.

01:05:48.040 You know, it bounces up to 33, down to 29 or whatever, a couple times in that range, you know, over a long period of time.

01:05:54.380 But it stays really consistent right around that 32 number until 2019.

01:05:58.840 And then it shoots almost straight up to 40.

01:06:01.200 And I, if you think about what happened with COVID, right?

01:06:04.540 You're in a house.

01:06:05.720 You have really low rates.

01:06:07.120 You've got your 3% mortgage.

01:06:09.400 COVID hits.

01:06:10.880 You know, everyone stays inside.

01:06:12.580 A lot of people lose their job.

01:06:15.140 You know, all sorts of weird effects happen.

01:06:18.500 And then you come out of that.

01:06:20.000 And then there's a bunch of people who are, some of them have extra money because they've been flooded with money from the government for certain purposes.

01:06:29.020 You know, the markets go crazy.

01:06:30.920 A lot of people have extra cash.

01:06:32.400 Some of them spend it on real estate.

01:06:33.620 The prices start going up.

01:06:35.200 And then, because of the inflation that occurs from the answers to COVID, the Inflation Reduction Act, the American Rescue Bill, that whole thing, the Joe Biden spending spree that occurs in 2021 and into 2022,

01:06:49.920 we get the inflation that turns into Biden inflation that winds up raising these rates.

01:06:57.380 So now you have a situation where the economy is rough.

01:07:02.760 You, everything's way more expensive.

01:07:05.580 You have all sorts of pressures when it comes to jobs and all these other things.

01:07:10.140 And you're now looking at the house.

01:07:12.200 If you are in a house with a 3% mortgage, you're never leaving it.

01:07:15.520 So there's not as much supply on the market for people to buy, because now if you're going to refinance and go to a new house, you're going to pay twice or more of the mortgage.

01:07:24.780 And then people that want to get into a house are looking at these houses and are saying, well, I can't afford a good enough house with this much money because the interest is too high.

01:07:31.980 And that's, I think, the main part of why that chart has skyrocketed over the past couple of years.

01:07:36.360 This is Glenn Beck.

01:07:39.380 Holiday time is high crime season, but not all crime should be addressed the same way.

01:07:43.760 According to a 2022 FBI stat, firearms are necessary less than 1% of the time.

01:07:49.760 Burna covers the other 99% of altercations with the firepower that is necessary to incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

01:07:58.040 So next time you think you need lethal force, think of Burna.

01:08:01.460 Start with Burna, B-Y-R-N-A.

01:08:03.880 I carry one myself.

01:08:05.140 I recommend every family concerned about safety should have a Burna launcher.

01:08:08.720 The new Burna Compact is the world's smallest, less lethal pistol, concealable anywhere.

01:08:13.980 It fires powerful kinetic and tear gas rounds that can stop an attacker cold for up to 40 minutes.

01:08:18.520 With 60 feet of range, you can confidently and effectively de-escalate a situation without the use of lethal force.

01:08:25.540 No background checks, legal in all 50 states, ship straight to your door,

01:08:29.120 and Burna is approved by the pros, trusted by hundreds of law enforcement agencies.

01:08:32.800 Visit Burna, B-Y-R-N-A.com, and find the right launcher for your family.

01:08:36.900 B-Y-R-N-A.com, that's Burna.com.

01:09:02.800 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn Today, 888-727-B-E-C-K.

01:09:15.660 This is pretty exciting.

01:09:16.980 It looks like Ukraine has agreed to some kind of deal.

01:09:21.940 We don't know if it's the 28-point plan that President Trump proposed.

01:09:27.080 I don't know if it's the alteration from the European Union.

01:09:30.100 But they've come away saying, yeah, we've agreed on the essence of a peace agreement.

01:09:36.420 At least the U.S. and Ukraine have agreed on that agreement.

01:09:40.880 Now, Putin's not part of that.

01:09:42.160 Russia's not part of that yet.

01:09:43.920 But what's not to like for them?

01:09:45.520 I mean, it's a pretty good plan, seemingly, for Russia.

01:09:51.740 They get 20% of Ukraine's territory.

01:09:54.760 And just to stop there for one second, Pat, it's more territory than they currently have.

01:10:00.720 Yeah.

01:10:00.880 So, basically, like, even the stuff that Ukraine has protected successfully all this time, they have to give up a big chunk of that and let Russia get past some really important strategic lines.

01:10:12.240 I'm really surprised they're agreeing to it.

01:10:13.720 And I guess they're agreeing to that.

01:10:14.920 We don't know if they're agreeing to that.

01:10:15.880 Maybe they altered that.

01:10:18.140 But it is very – we've had these situations before, and this is, I think, part of the Trump foreign policy, you know, approach, is to say, hey, we agreed.

01:10:30.640 And then let everyone come out and say, wait, what are you talking about?

01:10:33.000 And pressure them, essentially, into it.

01:10:34.780 Some of that might be happening here.

01:10:36.420 Though Ukraine has come out and said, we have.

01:10:40.300 We've agreed to something.

01:10:41.560 Basically, every side is saying, except for Russia, we've agreed to something.

01:10:46.540 We don't know what is in that something.

01:10:48.920 We think it's based on this 28-point plan, but we don't actually know that yet.

01:10:53.200 Which included the 20% of Ukrainian territory.

01:10:56.820 It included Russia rejoining the G7, which would then be the G8 again.

01:11:02.460 And it included Ukraine limiting their army in some way to a certain number that I guess would be agreed upon between them.

01:11:12.060 Yeah.

01:11:12.540 It's like a big reduction in their army and that they can never join NATO.

01:11:17.140 Now, that was kind of agreed upon by us a long time ago.

01:11:22.620 A long time ago.

01:11:24.020 I have very little sympathy for Russia's arguments in most of this.

01:11:29.220 We did pretty much mislead them on that.

01:11:31.380 We did.

01:11:31.740 Meaning the United States back in the day.

01:11:34.400 And I've used the example that how would we feel if it was Cuba?

01:11:39.320 If Cuba was joining the Soviet Union in some sort of military pact?

01:11:44.440 I mean, we went through that, essentially, when they were during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

01:11:51.340 And we didn't appreciate it.

01:11:52.960 And we let them know.

01:11:54.200 Yeah.

01:11:54.700 And we put a stop to it.

01:11:56.140 Certainly differences.

01:11:57.580 And there always are differences in these situations.

01:11:59.860 But, I mean, I think that was a more imminent threat than what Ukraine was proposing towards Russia at that time.

01:12:07.140 Again, Russia did not need to invade Ukraine.

01:12:10.200 And I do believe that they are the most wrong in this particular conflict.

01:12:15.400 That does not mean Ukraine is perfect and that I love everybody in their leadership.

01:12:21.480 Well, you need to.

01:12:22.800 I do?

01:12:23.220 Yeah, you really do.

01:12:24.060 There was a time in which that did seem to be the case.

01:12:26.800 If you did not love everybody in Ukraine's leadership, you were evil.

01:12:29.520 If you weren't flying a Ukrainian flag, you were a traitor.

01:12:32.520 You know, I never changed a profile picture on that one there.

01:12:35.600 I haven't either.

01:12:36.320 I never did.

01:12:37.560 You know, but that being said, I am surprised.

01:12:40.000 If what they agreed to is what was reported, I'm surprised they agreed to it.

01:12:45.860 I am.

01:12:46.360 I am too.

01:12:47.340 It is a complete capitulation to Russia.

01:12:49.980 I don't know why Russia wouldn't agree to it, other than the fact that Russia actually wants the entire country, and that's what they were going for initially.

01:12:56.780 And maybe they think Ukraine is in such a weak position they can get it.

01:13:00.320 I don't know.

01:13:01.040 And they must be, right?

01:13:02.580 Because why would you agree to this?

01:13:05.080 It's not good for them.

01:13:06.940 I think they should agree to something that, you know, my thought was, I don't know, maybe where the lines are now.

01:13:17.020 Why are they getting additional territory?

01:13:18.600 That's what I thought.

01:13:19.320 It's completely insane.

01:13:20.400 Yeah, it is.

01:13:20.760 And I think it's completely insane, too, for the country that got invaded to have to cut their military.

01:13:27.920 Yeah.

01:13:28.220 Like, that is, that's the type of agreement you make when you're surrendering.

01:13:33.840 Yes.

01:13:34.580 Not one you make in a, quote, unquote, peace negotiation, which the surrender is largely, potentially, at least, based on the fact that, you know, maybe we, maybe we didn't say the Biden standard of anything you want.

01:13:49.320 Anytime, anytime you want, anytime you want for as long as you want is going to be upheld.

01:13:53.840 And I think that's something we should have said to them privately a long time ago.

01:13:57.700 Hey, just so you know, in one year from today, in six months from today, this is all going away from us.

01:14:03.880 So you better figure a way out of this.

01:14:05.660 And that might be what Trump did.

01:14:08.340 It might be.

01:14:08.780 This can't be eternal support.

01:14:10.760 It must have been because they clearly are in a much different position right now than they were before.

01:14:18.160 In fact, an official in Zelensky's office said that if the deal was the framework from Geneva, we're OK with it.

01:14:27.640 It's not a bad framework to work further.

01:14:29.720 So that included all the things we just talked about, the framework from Geneva.

01:14:36.980 In fact, the European framework was even worse than what President Trump proposed.

01:14:43.160 Really?

01:14:43.680 I don't think I saw that.

01:14:44.680 What was the European framework?

01:14:46.620 It had more restrictions on them and and and more concessions for them.

01:14:52.820 I don't I don't remember all the specific details, but they seem to be even more hardcore than the 28 points that Trump proposed.

01:15:02.780 Wow.

01:15:03.360 Yeah.

01:15:03.780 I mean, so there's no way Zelensky survived signing that deal.

01:15:07.580 No way.

01:15:07.940 I don't mean that physically, but I mean, that is in a leadership position like his country is not going to stand for it.

01:15:13.560 And is there any?

01:15:14.660 I mean, Russia is not going to stand for it probably either.

01:15:17.180 They want to have gone.

01:15:18.300 Yeah, they want to have gone.

01:15:19.380 Yeah.

01:15:20.380 What about this, Pat?

01:15:21.380 Because I I'm a little nervous that we're we're giving up on our anything you want, any time you want for as long as you want philosophy.

01:15:29.580 What if for every mile they lose in territory to Russia, we give them those square miles in the United States?

01:15:38.540 We just make.

01:15:39.640 I'm surprised that hasn't been proposed yet.

01:15:42.620 So far, I don't think it has.

01:15:43.980 Like we give them Alaska or at least part of it or it's cold.

01:15:48.860 Is that too cold?

01:15:49.600 Yeah.

01:15:50.040 Hawaii.

01:15:50.440 You want to give them Hawaii or maybe a little of each.

01:15:53.880 Like what if we give them half of Alaska?

01:15:55.980 All right.

01:15:56.300 And like several islands in and we don't need all of those islands in Hawaii and they need a place to vacation.

01:16:03.280 True.

01:16:03.760 It's really cold in Ukraine.

01:16:05.100 Yeah.

01:16:05.480 So this time of year, why don't we do that?

01:16:07.280 That's a good idea.

01:16:08.080 I think that's probably a legitimate way of going.

01:16:10.300 So you give them half of Alaska, which would be about the size of Texas.

01:16:13.900 And then some of the Hawaiian islands.

01:16:17.440 Yeah.

01:16:17.960 Like we have a draft, I think.

01:16:19.420 Like, you know, first pick maybe is Maui.

01:16:21.760 Then Oahu goes.

01:16:23.240 Then the big island.

01:16:25.000 You just go through the main thing.

01:16:26.140 Okay.

01:16:26.400 And I think if we go through a draft and I think it's a snake draft.

01:16:31.100 So whoever gets the first pick also gets the second and third.

01:16:34.220 And we just select the islands that way.

01:16:36.280 Well, look.

01:16:36.660 That's fair.

01:16:37.680 We've got 50 states right now.

01:16:39.780 Do we need 50?

01:16:40.740 We don't need all of them.

01:16:41.660 We don't need them all.

01:16:43.020 You know, maybe.

01:16:43.660 It's really greedy of us.

01:16:44.580 You know, that's probably right.

01:16:45.460 Maybe we just give them their pick of five states.

01:16:49.580 Whichever ones you want.

01:16:51.760 You know.

01:16:52.500 And hopefully they don't take advantage of us, you know, and go after.

01:16:55.340 It'd probably take California.

01:16:57.260 Texas.

01:16:57.580 Yeah.

01:16:58.540 California might actually run better under the Ukrainian government than Gavin Newsom.

01:17:01.960 So that one might be an improvement.

01:17:04.180 New York.

01:17:05.940 What would you pick?

01:17:06.860 Florida.

01:17:07.600 I'd pick.

01:17:08.020 Yeah, they'd probably go after Florida.

01:17:09.160 That's probably the first ones I'd take.

01:17:10.740 And then Idaho.

01:17:11.400 Maybe we do.

01:17:11.840 You got to get Idaho.

01:17:12.680 Like the NBA does.

01:17:13.500 It'll have protected picks.

01:17:14.660 There's certain states we can protect.

01:17:16.000 We're not giving up.

01:17:16.840 We're not going to go up Florida.

01:17:17.780 I'm going to go up Texas.

01:17:18.700 It's right in the middle of the country.

01:17:19.900 Right.

01:17:20.440 But they can, you know, I just, it's unfair.

01:17:22.960 It's unfair that we have not, we will not provide them anything until eternity.

01:17:27.580 Anything they want.

01:17:30.240 It's such an interesting question, Pat, because as an American, what I care about most is America.

01:17:38.980 And then these citizens of America.

01:17:41.520 Wow.

01:17:41.920 And I.

01:17:42.700 Kind of selfish.

01:17:44.060 It is a little selfish.

01:17:44.560 You don't care about Ukraine more than America?

01:17:46.400 Not more.

01:17:47.480 I will say.

01:17:48.720 As much?

01:17:49.420 Do you care about them as much?

01:17:51.600 Because you're supposed to.

01:17:52.680 I mean, I care about people living and dying, but my, my policy as a, as a government, if

01:17:59.480 that's my role in this particular conversation, is to put American interests first.

01:18:06.440 And, you know, there's a lot of people, you say America first, and it means a lot of things

01:18:09.900 to a lot of people.

01:18:10.480 I will say it's been used in very bad ways in history, that particular phrase.

01:18:14.080 But it is, of course, a very logical position for a country to have.

01:18:18.860 Now, I am not of the, there's a new kind of addition to that, America only, which I

01:18:22.620 am not, not a fan of, not my view.

01:18:25.980 I don't, you know, as a person of faith, I don't think everyone, I don't, I don't, I

01:18:30.520 don't come to a place where I think everyone in every other country, ah, screw them.

01:18:33.740 I'm like, that's not what I, I just don't find that to be a position that is consistent

01:18:38.040 with other beliefs that I have.

01:18:40.380 That being said, it is not, as a government policy, we should be trying to do the best

01:18:46.660 things that we can.

01:18:47.440 And I believe the best thing that we can for our country in this period is to make sure

01:18:51.220 that this conflict does not end up with nuclear weapons flying all over the globe.

01:18:58.560 That's really what I'm really concerned about.

01:19:00.960 And I'm less concerned about it today with President Trump in office, and that I think

01:19:06.220 that he is a more consistent, a more confident in his level of leadership than I was in the

01:19:12.820 last president.

01:19:13.640 I was legitimately scared.

01:19:15.020 I thought it was underplayed as a risk as to how close we were with, with our president

01:19:20.960 coming out and saying, I'll give, hey, hey, other nuclear superpower, we will give anything

01:19:26.200 that they want for any amount of time that they want in perpetuity to your opponent in war

01:19:32.560 is not a stance that could lead to calm.

01:19:37.600 And I was worried that that could spiral out of control.

01:19:39.800 I'm a little bit less worried about it now, but still, I think it's the main thing that

01:19:42.480 we would like to avoid.

01:19:43.960 And so ending this conflict, to me, as an American, I really, at this point, don't care

01:19:52.300 all that much about a few miles here and there of territory, because that's my priority.

01:19:57.080 However, if I happen to be a Ukrainian citizen, if I were a Ukrainian talk show host, they're

01:20:05.560 going to have some problems with it.

01:20:06.640 I would have massive problems with this.

01:20:08.980 A Ukrainian official deeply involved, this says, with the ceasefire negotiations, said

01:20:15.020 that the United States appears to have agreed to the documents set out by Europe's allies

01:20:19.640 in Geneva over the weekend, and it's not the U.S. plan.

01:20:23.900 That's interesting.

01:20:24.640 That's not surprising, though, right?

01:20:28.260 I don't think the U.S. plan could stand up to Ukraine.

01:20:33.960 I give Trump a lot of credit for getting a starting point.

01:20:37.400 This is what happens usually.

01:20:38.560 No one says anything, because they're like, oh, well, they never accept that, so we never

01:20:41.100 do anything.

01:20:41.920 Trump is like, no, let's just put a proposal down and make them disagree.

01:20:44.960 He does this all over the world, and it's worked all over the world.

01:20:48.680 It's the same thing.

01:20:49.460 If you come in and you want to buy a building that they don't necessarily want to sell, you

01:20:53.500 make an offer.

01:20:55.040 Right?

01:20:55.380 And make them tell you, no.

01:20:57.320 Yeah.

01:20:57.540 I don't want this offer.

01:20:58.360 What I want is this.

01:20:59.140 And then you have something, right?

01:21:00.880 You have a beginning point and an end point, and you try to find a place in the middle.

01:21:04.380 That's what he does all over the globe, and it has worked many times.

01:21:08.120 Will it work here?

01:21:08.680 I don't know.

01:21:10.000 We'll see.

01:21:10.340 But it seems to me hard to believe that the Ukrainians could possibly accept a situation

01:21:16.620 where they lose more land than they've already lost and shrink their military at the same

01:21:21.480 time.

01:21:22.040 It's just inviting another invasion as soon as they build their military up again in

01:21:25.800 Russia.

01:21:26.080 I just don't know how they can accept that.

01:21:28.680 There is speculation that they're just plain running out of people to fight this war.

01:21:34.120 Outside of a real surrender, which might be where they are.

01:21:36.760 Yeah, it might be.

01:21:37.660 But that's not, at least where the war nerds that have all the maps out, they're not necessarily

01:21:42.680 saying that.

01:21:43.840 Like, you know, the people who really study this on a day-to-day basis, the think tanks

01:21:47.500 that are looking at, you know, the lines of control and really monitoring over the minutiae

01:21:52.500 of this, they don't say, they say more stalemate than they say Russia's about to win and overtake

01:22:00.040 the country.

01:22:00.820 It's more like-

01:22:01.320 I don't think they want to admit the reality.

01:22:03.540 And I think the reality is closer to Russia's about to win this thing.

01:22:07.380 You think?

01:22:08.000 I think so.

01:22:08.620 I think it's-

01:22:09.840 The long term, I agree with you.

01:22:11.120 I don't know that it's imminent.

01:22:13.220 But if you think-

01:22:14.420 But the writing is on the wall.

01:22:15.540 If the writing's on the wall eventually, well, then I suppose maybe you've saved some lives

01:22:21.360 and if you can-

01:22:22.840 Yep.

01:22:23.360 Cut-

01:22:23.860 If you can get real security lines built up, that's been my argument from the beginning.

01:22:30.360 Like, I don't mind helping Ukraine, but with sales, of defenses there to make sure that

01:22:37.340 line is so impossible to cross next time that it is- you know, those lines are really built

01:22:43.740 up so these don't move again.

01:22:45.500 I don't mind being supportive to them on that because they shouldn't- Russia shouldn't be

01:22:48.780 rolling over every one of their neighbors.

01:22:49.960 No, they should not.

01:22:51.060 No.

01:22:51.240 888-727-BECK

01:22:53.580 Keep your powder dry and your conscience clear.

01:22:59.100 This is Glenn Beck.

01:23:01.440 With the war in Ukraine, we've heard about a lot of people in both countries who are

01:23:19.760 living through the nightmare of war.

01:23:21.120 But there are also elderly Jewish people who are also trapped in this conflict, facing

01:23:25.440 unbearable poverty.

01:23:26.760 Galena is a 96-year-old Holocaust survivor who has spent her life in the same village.

01:23:32.220 She's sick, she's alone, and it's bitter cold.

01:23:34.700 And today, like every day, she has to decide whether to spend what little money she has

01:23:38.580 on food or medication or heating.

01:23:41.200 The Bible tells us when you bless elderly Jews living in poverty like Galena, you will

01:23:45.100 receive blessings in return.

01:23:46.420 Through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and your generous donation, you can

01:23:51.160 bring hope to the people in need.

01:23:52.880 Your gift of just $25 will help provide a food box packed full of life-saving essentials

01:23:57.660 that will help feed an elderly person struggling to survive.

01:24:00.900 Don't delay.

01:24:01.440 Your gift today will help provide the life-saving food and hope that Galena and many like her

01:24:05.020 desperately need.

01:24:06.020 To rush your gift, call 888-488-IFCJ.

01:24:08.940 That's 888-488-4325.

01:24:11.280 Or give online at glennforthefellowship.org.

01:24:14.180 That's glennforthefellowship.org.

01:24:16.280 Pat and Stu for Glenn the Squeak.

01:24:30.840 888-727-BECK.

01:24:33.800 We're just going over this peace plan.

01:24:36.300 It looks like it's a little different than President Trump proposed.

01:24:40.240 He proposed a 28-point plan.

01:24:42.080 And this is, I guess, there's got some, there's some similarities to it, but it's not completely

01:24:46.680 that.

01:24:47.000 Yeah.

01:24:47.520 And some of, so much of the back and forth gets really, really difficult to understand

01:24:51.020 because you have to go really deep and understand, you know, centuries of history to really put

01:24:57.160 in perspective both sides positions.

01:24:58.620 But to try to boil it down, if you don't understand this at that level, basically Ukraine is a country

01:25:07.980 in Europe.

01:25:09.300 Okay.

01:25:09.620 And it exists next to another country called Russia.

01:25:14.200 Okay.

01:25:15.200 Now, Russia is a bigger country.

01:25:17.640 Than Ukraine is?

01:25:19.020 Mm-hmm.

01:25:19.320 Okay.

01:25:19.760 Russia is a powerful country.

01:25:21.360 Oh, wow.

01:25:22.020 Yeah.

01:25:22.500 Really?

01:25:22.720 And Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.

01:25:28.980 That doesn't seem fair or right.

01:25:31.300 So, so basically that's wrong.

01:25:35.340 Okay.

01:25:36.460 So, my intuition on that was correct.

01:25:39.500 Yes, absolutely.

01:25:40.560 It was wrong for this to happen.

01:25:42.060 It was wrong for this to happen.

01:25:43.400 Okay.

01:25:43.680 Now, again.

01:25:44.160 That's what I was thinking in the first place.

01:25:45.840 I've had to go deep into policy papers and foreign affairs think tanks to get that information.

01:25:52.000 Right.

01:25:53.360 Because that's some pretty deep stuff.

01:25:55.660 It was something that you may have remembered Kamala Harris saying.

01:25:57.940 Ukraine is a country in Europe.

01:26:01.860 See?

01:26:02.340 You remember that?

01:26:03.180 See?

01:26:03.460 No, you were right.

01:26:04.100 So, that was part of my basis for that.

01:26:06.560 So, that's where you got it.

01:26:07.620 Yeah.

01:26:07.920 So, that's not your own thinking.

01:26:10.060 Oh, no.

01:26:10.400 That came from Kamala Harris.

01:26:11.700 I mean, I was really impressed for a minute.

01:26:13.840 I like to think I'm a smart guy, but I'm not that smart.

01:26:16.240 No.

01:26:16.660 No.

01:26:17.020 Very few are.

01:26:17.940 Very few.

01:26:18.560 Very few.

01:26:23.680 This is Glenn Beck.

01:26:34.100 It looks like we were talking about the potential peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia.

01:26:45.480 It looks like while we're finalizing the details of this with Ukraine, Russia is apparently unlikely to accept the changes in the new peace plan to end the war.

01:26:57.940 Oh, okay.

01:26:59.260 Well, there you go.

01:27:00.940 Yeah.

01:27:01.280 That's probably not going to happen.

01:27:02.860 They don't want to give up anything, basically.

01:27:06.480 And their proposal, which, you know, some people argued was essentially what Trump was floating.

01:27:13.000 Five seconds.

01:27:14.580 And, by the way, even if he was just floating their proposal, it's still a positive move towards peace.

01:27:19.820 You know, again, I don't try.

01:27:24.040 It would be my argument.

01:27:25.700 Try.

01:27:26.460 And he has been trying.

01:27:27.580 He has been trying.

01:27:28.140 Hard.

01:27:28.600 And he has hard.

01:27:29.820 But Russia's demands were so extreme, it didn't seem like they'd be agreeing to anything like this.

01:27:36.260 Wow.

01:27:36.680 But I think, again, the other side of this is true, too.

01:27:39.460 Trump and the Trump side coming out and saying, hey, we've agreed, is the same thing he did in Israel, right?

01:27:46.860 Like, it was like, oh, we've all agreed.

01:27:48.300 It's all over.

01:27:49.220 Yeah.

01:27:49.520 And so now everyone has to scramble to try to push back against that, which, again, is better than what we had yesterday.

01:27:54.240 It puts pressure on them.

01:28:09.040 travelers.

01:28:10.160 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:28:27.940 Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.

01:28:32.320 Down the road where shadows hide

01:28:36.260 Feel the dark on every side

01:28:38.860 Stand your ground when times get dark

01:28:41.500 Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire

01:28:44.380 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:28:50.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:30:31.240 Stu, I know what a huge fan you are of the WNBA.

01:30:36.300 Oh, I mean, you know, do you ever miss a game ever?

01:30:39.620 I mean, here's the thing, Pat.

01:30:41.140 Yeah.

01:30:41.640 I have never missed a WNBA game since the launch of the league.

01:30:46.460 I've watched every single minute.

01:30:48.920 That's incredible.

01:30:49.600 Of every single game?

01:30:50.900 Mm-hmm.

01:30:51.400 Wow, that's hard to do.

01:30:52.740 That's hard to do.

01:30:53.580 You know, not for me.

01:30:54.480 No?

01:30:54.900 Okay.

01:30:55.260 Because I have a huge passion for watching mediocre basketball.

01:30:58.880 Oh, yeah.

01:30:59.420 Who doesn't?

01:31:00.000 You know, it's-

01:31:00.640 Who doesn't?

01:31:01.060 It's utterly fantastic to see teams that, you know, sure, they might lose to ninth grade

01:31:08.420 boys teams frequently if they played, but I want to know who's the best at that level.

01:31:16.760 Right.

01:31:17.200 What's the best?

01:31:19.900 It's just who I am, Pat, as a man.

01:31:23.080 So you want to know who's the best at a really bad level is what your thing is.

01:31:26.660 Right.

01:31:26.900 Like, I'm not interested in who's the best in the world, for example.

01:31:29.020 What I'm interested in is that if you take out, you know, say, the top 20 million people

01:31:35.240 in the world, maybe 50, maybe 100 million people.

01:31:38.880 Yeah.

01:31:39.280 And you say, hey, who's who's best after that?

01:31:43.700 That's where I am.

01:31:44.700 That's where you are.

01:31:45.500 That's where my interest starts peaking.

01:31:47.300 Okay.

01:31:47.500 Right around there.

01:31:48.780 That's interesting.

01:31:49.580 Mm-hmm.

01:31:49.940 It really is.

01:31:50.920 Mm-hmm.

01:31:51.360 You know, there's been a little bit of a squabble over the last week or so because NBA players

01:31:57.540 Michael Porter Jr. and Lonzo Ball, along with former pro, LiAngelo Ball, shot down some

01:32:04.600 claims from WNBA star Paige Buechers.

01:32:07.880 Now, Paige said she could beat NBA player Josh Hart in a one-on-one competition.

01:32:15.440 That is literally impossible.

01:32:18.760 It's acidine.

01:32:19.420 Maybe if you had, maybe if Barack Obama was right and they amputated his feet.

01:32:25.440 I don't know about even then.

01:32:27.580 I don't know.

01:32:28.980 I really, he might on pegs be able to still beat Paige Buechers.

01:32:34.560 And I'm joking at some level here, but like, Paige Buechers is incredible.

01:32:38.840 Like, she's an incredible player.

01:32:40.080 And, you know, she is an amazing athlete and there's a lot of great things to say.

01:32:44.200 That does not mean she could beat an NBA player in one-on-one.

01:32:46.780 No way.

01:32:48.020 No way.

01:32:48.560 And that's what they said.

01:32:49.760 You know, it just, no, that's silly.

01:32:53.760 And so they're getting a bunch of flack, whereas then Sophie Cunningham from the Indiana

01:32:59.780 Fever came out and agreed with them.

01:33:02.500 And, you know, she's just speaking truth here.

01:33:04.620 And you know she's going to get hammered for it by her.

01:33:06.740 She doesn't seem to care, though.

01:33:07.820 She doesn't.

01:33:08.540 No, I like that.

01:33:09.520 She's just like, I'm just going to say what I believe.

01:33:12.060 I like her because she's, she will do that.

01:33:15.060 And she defended, what's her face when she was under fire, you know, in a game.

01:33:20.840 Caitlin Clark.

01:33:21.340 Caitlin Clark.

01:33:22.000 Yeah, she's like, I'm going to step up for her no matter what.

01:33:24.740 And she does.

01:33:25.820 And she does.

01:33:26.460 And she said, this is my personal opinion, but if you're a professional football player,

01:33:30.220 basketball player, you're in that elite level group, then yes, you should be able to beat

01:33:35.840 girls.

01:33:37.240 Like, I'm not surprised by that.

01:33:39.160 So she was saying a high school male, if he's, you know, on the way to the NBA, could

01:33:48.300 beat a current WNBA player.

01:33:51.380 Yes.

01:33:52.200 And I think that's obviously true, right?

01:33:54.140 Like, you know, BYU just got AJ DeBonta last year and he's playing now this year.

01:34:00.420 So he was the best player in high school.

01:34:03.360 That kid could have easily beaten any WNBA player.

01:34:08.200 I don't care who it is.

01:34:09.360 He would have, he would beat them.

01:34:11.700 And I think that's just obvious, right?

01:34:15.080 And I guess you're not supposed to say it now.

01:34:17.420 And you know, she's going to get flack from other members of the WNBA, but it's, it's just

01:34:24.200 true.

01:34:24.840 She's going to get pounded for telling the truth, but it doesn't make any sense to try

01:34:30.780 to claim otherwise.

01:34:32.480 I mean, we've seen it play out in all kinds of sports, tennis, soccer.

01:34:38.080 I don't know that WNBA players have ever played anybody in the NBA.

01:34:42.400 That would just be ridiculous.

01:34:44.280 Oh yeah.

01:34:45.160 But ridiculous.

01:34:46.840 Again, these are skilled athletes.

01:34:49.280 Like they can do things and incredible things.

01:34:51.780 And like, you know, if we did a two on two, Pat Grace, Stu Bergier versus Sophie Cunningham

01:34:56.520 and Caitlin Clark, we would lose very dramatically.

01:34:59.020 Yes.

01:34:59.220 We probably wouldn't score a point.

01:35:01.080 But when you're talking about skilled athletes.

01:35:03.980 It's not to say that no woman at any level can beat any male at any level.

01:35:08.620 That's not what we're saying.

01:35:10.280 But, and I think Lonzo Ball made this point in that podcast.

01:35:13.240 Like his team of ninth graders would be able to beat any WNBA team.

01:35:18.520 And now again, he's probably a very good.

01:35:21.580 That really pisses them off.

01:35:23.160 Oh yeah.

01:35:23.840 You know, but I don't think, I think it's, I don't even know if we've hit the limit.

01:35:27.080 What's the limit?

01:35:27.980 Like I've talked to people.

01:35:29.040 The problem is physicality.

01:35:30.920 Yeah.

01:35:31.320 Right.

01:35:31.520 Like you can't, like if you've ever played basketball and you're against someone who's,

01:35:36.720 you know, tiny and skinny and is not like the difference between a fully developed

01:35:42.580 male physique, even in high school is so dramatically different than what you're going to get out

01:35:48.840 of a female athlete, even in the WNBA.

01:35:51.780 And that's the way it's supposed to be.

01:35:53.140 You're going to be able to bully them around and get rebounds.

01:35:55.220 Again, unless you're having some sort of curve where the refs are calling things they wouldn't

01:36:00.720 normally call, you're going to be able to just get to the ball.

01:36:04.200 You're going to, all these rebounds.

01:36:05.760 Dominate them.

01:36:06.280 It's going to be impossible for them to get rebounds.

01:36:08.140 Yeah.

01:36:08.300 You know, that's just one part of it.

01:36:10.620 There's quickness differences there.

01:36:12.500 I'm sorry.

01:36:13.600 I think even when you're talking division two and division three type athletes, like I

01:36:18.120 have someone who I know who has played division three basketball and, and he said, look, our

01:36:26.120 division three team would beat WNBA teams.

01:36:28.260 And he's like, the problem with it is just, you'd be able to back them down so easily

01:36:34.360 because they're, you're just a lot stronger.

01:36:36.440 Even division two and three type athletes.

01:36:38.460 Again, those are very talented people as well.

01:36:40.520 It's hard to get to play in division two and division three.

01:36:43.180 It's not like you're without skill.

01:36:44.300 You're probably the best player in your high school team.

01:36:46.340 It's like an all-star team of that for, in most areas.

01:36:50.240 I don't know what the line is exactly.

01:36:52.480 I think it would be fascinating to find out.

01:36:54.120 I don't know why, like, why can't we just, why doesn't, why don't we just do this?

01:36:59.700 Let's do it.

01:37:00.660 Yeah.

01:37:00.880 Right.

01:37:01.340 Like there, have the WNBA champion play an NBA team.

01:37:05.640 Do you know?

01:37:06.220 Yeah.

01:37:06.620 Let's see it.

01:37:07.360 Let's just, let's see it.

01:37:08.380 I think we even start, do you, do you know, uh, do you know, dude perfect?

01:37:11.620 Yeah.

01:37:11.900 The, uh, the YouTubers.

01:37:13.560 So they do, you know, they're famous for trick shots and, you know, comedy videos and all sorts

01:37:17.020 of different things, but they did one that my son was watching.

01:37:19.080 This is a few months ago.

01:37:20.040 So, and, uh, one of the guys and dude perfect did a challenge where he had to get a hit

01:37:26.460 off of an increasingly difficult level of pitcher.

01:37:30.260 Now he's a good athlete, like Tyler is the guy who did it, but he was, he's a good athlete.

01:37:35.280 Yeah.

01:37:35.700 And, and he, you know, but he's not a professional baseball player.

01:37:39.220 So they started off with him versus a little league pitcher and they kept escalating it.

01:37:43.880 And he would like, they needed a high school pitcher, I think, and then a, um, uh, college

01:37:49.060 pitcher and then a major, major league pitcher.

01:37:53.060 And they went to, uh, I think it was Texas Rangers camp a couple of years ago and did

01:37:56.740 this.

01:37:57.460 And so he starts off, obviously no problem hitting off of a, an eight year old or whatever.

01:38:01.440 And like, you know, it's for comedic value.

01:38:03.240 Like some of them are really easy, but as you get up at level, you're facing a high school

01:38:06.880 pitcher and then a college pitcher and guys throwing like, you know, low eighties and can

01:38:11.080 you get a hit off of that person?

01:38:12.040 And then he goes up against who was the closer at the time, uh, the Rangers, but like, it

01:38:16.060 was really interesting to see he wound up getting a hit, uh, off of, uh, a little bloop

01:38:20.760 single off of the closer of the Rangers, which is pretty impressive, honestly.

01:38:25.000 Yeah, it is.

01:38:25.720 It would be hard to do, but like that being said, this is a, you want to talk about a way

01:38:31.220 to bring in some, uh, some real revenue to women's sports.

01:38:34.600 I would be absolutely glued to the television if they started a WNBA, it starts off with them

01:38:40.000 like playing like a rec team of like eight year olds and it just slowly, every week ramps

01:38:47.940 up.

01:38:48.280 I would watch every episode of it.

01:38:50.320 If they didn't find that insulting, it would be fun to watch.

01:38:52.520 It would be fun.

01:38:53.160 You know, they would never do it, but it'd be fun.

01:38:54.960 Why?

01:38:55.300 You know how much money they'd make?

01:38:57.340 Probably more than their salaries in the WNBA.

01:38:59.240 Put it on pay-per-view.

01:39:00.680 I'd watch.

01:39:01.480 I'd pay.

01:39:02.340 Give them all the money.

01:39:03.060 When you got to the point like where, and I think the, the risk of all of this would

01:39:07.080 be, they would select teams.

01:39:09.340 They would, there'd probably be things said behind the scenes.

01:39:12.600 Hey, don't do, don't go so hard.

01:39:16.000 Let them win.

01:39:17.080 God only knows what they would do to protect this idiocy of Billie Jean King that we're all

01:39:22.820 supposed to still act as if it was real.

01:39:24.900 Yeah.

01:39:25.340 The whole thing, I, you know, the guy, you know, Billie Jean King in that match, what was

01:39:30.180 the guy's name, um, oh God, Bobby, uh, Bobby, uh, gosh, I'm sorry.

01:39:34.920 I can't think of it off the top of my head.

01:39:35.960 Look that up real quick.

01:39:37.100 Um, Billie Jean King in that, right.

01:39:39.180 You know, he's like 50 something years old.

01:39:42.380 Yeah.

01:39:42.660 He was, I think he was 54, 54 years old.

01:39:45.340 She was in the prime of her career.

01:39:46.300 In the prime of her career.

01:39:46.880 Like, yes.

01:39:47.860 Yeah.

01:39:48.260 Very possible.

01:39:49.160 And by the way, this goes without questionable about how that went down.

01:39:52.380 No, it's not Bobby Fisher.

01:39:53.480 That's the, that's the chess player.

01:39:55.240 I didn't say look up any name with Bobby in it.

01:39:58.340 I'm looking for the actual person who went up against Billie Jean King in the famous

01:40:03.260 match.

01:40:03.740 Bobby Riggs.

01:40:04.520 Bobby Riggs.

01:40:05.100 Thank you.

01:40:05.680 Yeah.

01:40:06.100 Yeah.

01:40:07.260 And he, he actually did lose to Billie Jean King, but like a month or two before that,

01:40:12.560 he beat the number one player in the world.

01:40:14.240 Right.

01:40:14.560 Margaret Court.

01:40:15.520 Which gets you real questions about whether he was trying in that match.

01:40:19.720 I don't know that he was.

01:40:21.380 I don't either.

01:40:22.340 Cause there's been some speculation.

01:40:23.920 Lots of speculation about that.

01:40:25.380 More than speculation that he kind of threw that.

01:40:27.380 But anyway, we do have other examples of it.

01:40:30.900 I mean, Serena Williams talked about it, uh, that she would lose to Andy Murray, who at

01:40:36.000 the time when she was on the Letterman show and, uh, this was, so this was years ago.

01:40:41.980 Uh, but she was number one in the world.

01:40:44.360 And, uh, Letterman was asking about her playing the number one man in the world, because I guess

01:40:50.120 there was some talk about this.

01:40:51.820 And she said, I would never do that because Andy Murray would beat me zero, zero.

01:40:56.900 I might not score a point and it would take five minutes, maybe 10.

01:41:00.900 She said, it's just a different game that the men play.

01:41:04.340 It's they're stronger.

01:41:05.300 They're faster.

01:41:06.060 The ball comes at you way faster and they're more athletic.

01:41:09.980 And so, you know, you look at soccer, the world of soccer, the best team in the world.

01:41:16.560 The U S women's national team played against, uh, teenagers multiple times, including here

01:41:24.060 in Dallas, they played against a Dallas team, uh, of under 14.

01:41:29.200 I think it was under 15.

01:41:30.580 So it's, it's 13 and 14 and maybe some 15 year olds.

01:41:34.180 And they lost five to two, they played against the Wrexham team in England during some kind

01:41:40.820 of tournament and they had to stop the game because it was 12 to nothing.

01:41:45.000 And it was embarrassing to the women's national team.

01:41:48.700 I mean, they can't compete with the men.

01:41:51.640 It just, it's a real thing that exists.

01:41:55.280 There are differences between men and women and you're not supposed to notice it anymore

01:41:59.520 or acknowledge it, but it doesn't change the fact that it's there.

01:42:03.900 And it's, we're different.

01:42:05.240 And this is not important because we, Hey, we're dunking on a bunch of women, either literally

01:42:12.140 or figuratively.

01:42:13.000 Like that's not what the point of this is.

01:42:14.940 The point of this is, is we as a society have lost the ability to say true things.

01:42:20.520 Right.

01:42:21.060 When, when everyone knows something is true, every piece of evidence points one way and

01:42:26.640 we will have a controversy as to whether it's true or not.

01:42:30.220 Yeah.

01:42:30.640 Why are, why does this happen?

01:42:32.100 But I know we're ridiculous.

01:42:34.760 The internet has made us dumber, but at the end of the day, we all know certain things

01:42:39.860 are true.

01:42:40.240 And the fact that we can't without, with all of this evidence can't get the other side

01:42:46.060 to admit this basic fact.

01:42:47.860 How do you negotiate a healthcare policy?

01:42:50.380 How do you negotiate what is right when it comes to tax rates with a side that won't

01:42:55.280 admit the most basic, obvious thing in the world that everyone knows is true?

01:43:00.980 Why won't, why can't we, if you can't bridge a gap like this, this is why I think this is

01:43:05.300 such a fascinating topic.

01:43:06.320 If you can't bridge a gap like this, what, what can you have?

01:43:10.120 Right.

01:43:10.360 You can't have a rational conversation with people who can't admit this type of stuff because

01:43:15.820 of what, you know, and these things permeate our politics in real ways.

01:43:20.980 Like the same instinct that makes the media act as if the WNBA players could beat the NBA

01:43:28.560 players.

01:43:29.840 That same instinct is the same instinct that says, well, we can't admit that a woman who

01:43:35.780 says he's a man is really a woman.

01:43:37.420 Right.

01:43:38.300 Right.

01:43:38.500 Because we make them feel bad or whatever.

01:43:41.120 They don't belong in a women's locker room.

01:43:42.780 Right.

01:43:43.180 You can't admit that.

01:43:43.980 We can't say, hey, it's wrong for a guy to have his junk out in front of a bunch of

01:43:51.160 women because he's saying he's a woman.

01:43:53.760 We can't make that judgment.

01:43:55.860 If you can't make judgments based on really obvious things, things that the women in the

01:44:01.320 locker room would say were really obvious, you really can't make any judgment as to

01:44:07.240 what can you agree on?

01:44:08.500 Yeah.

01:44:09.080 And it's crazy.

01:44:10.080 If you can't agree on basic truths, you can't have basic conversations.

01:44:14.380 And these are really obvious things that everyone knows.

01:44:17.480 Everyone, including the left, everybody there, everyone on the left knows this is true.

01:44:21.720 Everyone knows NBA players will win.

01:44:23.880 That it's not true.

01:44:24.940 They'll lie to you.

01:44:25.840 But they know it is.

01:44:26.540 And tell you it's not true.

01:44:27.600 They'll lie to you and tell you they think that dude who just said they're a chick today

01:44:33.400 is a chick.

01:44:34.620 They'll tell you that.

01:44:35.580 They don't actually believe it.

01:44:37.640 They're lying.

01:44:39.600 And if you can't bridge that gap, you can't have any conversations of value at all.

01:45:59.900 And I'll tell you another thing that's bugging me right now.

01:46:02.480 And that's the press trying to make a big deal out of some health problem that apparently

01:46:08.840 doesn't exist with President Trump.

01:46:11.020 Have you noticed that?

01:46:12.180 Oh, yeah.

01:46:12.680 He was just out with his grandson over the weekend, showing him around the White House.

01:46:17.260 And they were snapping photos of him and saying that he was dragging his left leg.

01:46:23.360 They've been trying this for a long time.

01:46:25.820 A long time.

01:46:26.360 And then you go to the video, and they included the video, and he's not dragging his left leg.

01:46:31.860 Looks totally normal.

01:46:33.120 It's completely normal.

01:46:34.860 I don't know how they get away with this stuff continually.

01:46:38.440 These are the same people who, for four years—I don't even have to finish, right?

01:46:46.620 It's for four years of the Biden administration—swore up and down that he was perfectly fine.

01:46:53.460 Totally fine.

01:46:54.420 He's an incredible specimen.

01:46:56.140 Now, they've all admitted it now.

01:46:57.480 Yes.

01:46:57.960 Now?

01:46:58.720 Now that it's over, they all say, oh, yeah, obviously.

01:47:01.040 Oh, fuck, here's the guy with decrepit in every way, including mentally.

01:47:06.300 Total catastrophe, but they could—and, by the way, the same people who also were critical

01:47:11.540 of Republicans for pointing out that Hillary Clinton was having health issues.

01:47:15.500 Oh, yeah.

01:47:15.900 Which, by the way, she was.

01:47:16.920 That's right.

01:47:17.260 They weren't as—

01:47:20.500 Pronounced?

01:47:21.080 Terminal's not the right word for Biden, but that's the one I want to use.

01:47:24.300 Pronounced, as it may be, as long-lasting or whatever it was with Hillary, but she did

01:47:29.520 have a real bout with something.

01:47:31.280 Obviously, she was collapsing, trying to get into a car.

01:47:33.460 And the coughing and all of that.

01:47:35.180 Yeah.

01:47:35.300 And the speeches.

01:47:35.840 She had a rough batch.

01:47:36.860 She did.

01:47:37.480 Look, that's totally—it's fine to talk about that.

01:47:41.660 You can bring up, if you think that Donald Trump has a health problem.

01:47:45.320 What's really frustrating to me about it is the same thing we talked about when it comes

01:47:48.160 to political violence and the same thing we talked about about the DOJ going after their

01:47:51.720 enemies, they are asking us to completely forget everything we know about them.

01:47:57.080 Everything that they've said over the past decade about how their—it was off-limits

01:48:03.600 to go after a president's health.

01:48:06.740 Like, now we're just supposed to totally forget it.

01:48:09.460 Yeah.

01:48:09.820 We didn't say any of that stuff.

01:48:11.400 What if we act as if none of those days occurred?

01:48:14.800 And they keep demanding this out of us.

01:48:17.800 Yeah.

01:48:18.200 And to try to make some sort of health issue out of President Trump walking just normally

01:48:25.400 with his grandson, it's just—it's so pathetic and so disingenuous.

01:48:32.180 It's surprising that they provide the video.

01:48:34.740 I guess they think that if they put that in your head initially, that he's dragging his

01:48:39.940 leg, and if there's any sort of movement that isn't exactly what you think it's going to

01:48:46.820 be, then you'll think, yeah, he's dragging his leg.

01:48:50.360 I don't know.

01:48:51.460 Maybe they think they can subliminally tell you that.

01:48:53.940 Yeah.

01:48:54.240 But then you see the evidence that he's not.

01:48:56.820 It's frustrating.

01:48:58.720 It's a bizarre situation.

01:49:00.040 I'd also say, look, President Trump—I don't know President Trump's health exactly.

01:49:05.160 I don't think any of us do, but I will—you know, he's a man in his 70s.

01:49:08.800 79.

01:49:09.480 He's 79 years old.

01:49:10.700 Yeah.

01:49:11.020 And he's, I wouldn't say, in perfect physical shape.

01:49:15.600 That being said, I think it's really impressive how much and how the energy level that he has

01:49:20.400 on a day-to-day basis.

01:49:22.120 The guy really sleeps.

01:49:23.940 I don't know how he does it.

01:49:24.560 The more energy than I do—

01:49:25.280 Oh, way more.

01:49:27.480 Wait, why did you say that so convincingly?

01:49:29.620 You were very convinced that I have no energy, it seemed, there.

01:49:32.840 Which is fair.

01:49:33.920 Yeah.

01:49:34.180 Which is fair.

01:49:34.900 It's just nonsense.

01:49:36.200 It's more of it.

01:49:36.920 More of the same.

01:49:42.840 This is Glenn Beck.

01:51:32.280 Excited about it.

01:51:33.460 Can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

01:51:38.940 Wait, what?

01:51:40.340 What?

01:51:41.160 You can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

01:51:45.200 I don't know.

01:51:46.300 Went to a garden party?

01:51:48.160 Ricky Nelson.

01:51:49.180 Thank you for that.

01:51:51.420 Okay.

01:51:52.740 Is this general advice for the holidays?

01:51:54.880 Just generally, yeah.

01:51:56.180 Yeah.

01:51:56.680 Just a good safety tip.

01:51:58.260 You can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

01:52:01.000 I think that goes with the Meghan Trainor story, right?

01:52:04.660 Meghan Trainor is getting all kinds of flack right now.

01:52:08.340 All kinds of hate online because...

01:52:10.920 The singer, right?

01:52:11.720 Yeah.

01:52:12.240 Yeah, right.

01:52:13.520 Because she lost weight.

01:52:15.680 Oh, no.

01:52:16.580 And people are pissed off about it.

01:52:18.280 And she's like...

01:52:18.980 How dare you?

01:52:19.580 Well, I'm just trying to take care of myself and my body.

01:52:23.780 Is that...

01:52:24.940 Why would you have a problem with that?

01:52:27.740 Can't please everyone.

01:52:30.680 You've got to please yourself.

01:52:32.820 There is something where they're...

01:52:34.440 Like, in pop culture, I guess, there is a weird, like, ownership that fans seem to think they have over the people.

01:52:42.860 Yeah.

01:52:43.120 We're celebrities.

01:52:44.240 I guess.

01:52:45.340 Like, did you watch the John Candy documentary that came out recently?

01:52:49.100 It's on Prime.

01:52:50.080 Did you guys see that?

01:52:50.820 I don't think I have.

01:52:51.760 It's called I Like Me, I think it's called, which is a line from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, I believe.

01:52:59.500 Oh.

01:53:00.040 Mm-hmm.

01:53:00.840 And they go through the history, you know, John Candy and his rise and, you know, his untimely death.

01:53:08.120 Mm-hmm.

01:53:08.400 Spoiler alert.

01:53:10.160 Wait, John Candy died?

01:53:12.340 Well, wait, hold on.

01:53:12.880 What?

01:53:13.580 He's very sick.

01:53:14.260 Okay.

01:53:14.880 And now he's...

01:53:15.800 We've lost him.

01:53:17.600 Just like that?

01:53:18.560 Yeah.

01:53:19.060 I'm sorry.

01:53:19.680 Wow.

01:53:20.080 That happened quickly.

01:53:20.940 But he seems like the great...

01:53:22.240 Like, everyone thought he was the greatest guy of all time, basically.

01:53:24.840 The entire documentary is, we really liked John Candy.

01:53:28.560 Wow.

01:53:29.300 And it seems like that was the thing.

01:53:31.700 But often, he would be questioned in interviews, like, so you're really fat.

01:53:36.440 Do you like being really fat?

01:53:38.280 And they kept playing the clips, and it was so intrusive.

01:53:41.800 And he's like, well, you know, I mean, I'd like to be a little healthier, but, you know.

01:53:46.060 He was always very nice to the people that asked him, and he was somehow respectful in

01:53:51.260 those moments, which was kind of what they were playing.

01:53:52.800 Hard to do.

01:53:53.240 Hard to do, right?

01:53:54.520 Like, hey, fatso was basically every other interview with the guy.

01:53:59.180 But part of it was, and it was the same thing with Farley, Chris Farley, where it's almost

01:54:03.820 like, no, you're fat.

01:54:05.160 You're just going to be fat because you're funny or fat.

01:54:07.560 So, be fat, stay fat.

01:54:09.440 Right.

01:54:09.960 You know?

01:54:10.480 Right.

01:54:10.640 And, you know, a lot of times, like, your health, this is another thing that we can't

01:54:16.640 admit in this society.

01:54:17.540 You can't say that anymore.

01:54:18.500 You're not allowed to say that.

01:54:19.140 That it's healthier to be thinner.

01:54:21.060 Even though every piece of evidence that we have, at least at a certain level, because

01:54:25.740 you could actually have a little meat on your bones, and it won't necessarily affect

01:54:29.980 your longevity all that much.

01:54:32.140 But when you get to a certain level, it becomes a real problem.

01:54:35.280 Yeah.

01:54:35.780 You know?

01:54:36.300 Yeah.

01:54:36.480 And there are a lot of benefits as to trimming down a bit.

01:54:41.220 Well, you might notice something about John Candy and Chris Farley.

01:54:45.300 This is a surprise.

01:54:46.600 Wait.

01:54:46.960 We lost him both.

01:54:47.880 Chris, we lost Farley?

01:54:48.900 We lost him both.

01:54:49.220 Yeah.

01:54:49.580 Yeah, we did.

01:54:50.060 The actor?

01:54:50.880 You know what?

01:54:51.260 He's not feeling very good.

01:54:52.280 Oh, okay.

01:54:52.700 Gosh, that's that.

01:54:53.400 He died.

01:54:54.700 So.

01:54:55.960 Wait.

01:54:56.560 Yeah.

01:54:56.920 Really?

01:54:57.380 That quick?

01:54:58.060 We lost him.

01:54:58.840 Wow.

01:54:59.560 I wasn't prepared for that at all.

01:55:01.520 He wasn't healthy.

01:55:02.260 I'm sorry.

01:55:03.040 No.

01:55:03.500 He was not healthy.

01:55:04.220 Now, I think he was.

01:55:05.300 Because Candy had, according to the documentary, had a family history of heart issues.

01:55:11.340 And that's likely what, you know, that was all more hereditary.

01:55:15.400 Where Farley took a lot of different substances and lived a very hard life.

01:55:20.020 I think Candy did as well, but some, I think it was alcohol.

01:55:24.660 He had some issues with that.

01:55:25.480 I think so.

01:55:26.160 Yeah.

01:55:26.500 But, yeah.

01:55:27.400 A little substance abuse there with both of them.

01:55:31.300 It's tough to live that life.

01:55:33.160 Mm-hmm.

01:55:33.740 And you live hard and you're a big guy like that.

01:55:37.320 It doesn't usually, you know, usually have high numbers after the died at date.

01:55:43.840 You know, like it's, it gets a little unfortunate there.

01:55:48.340 But, I don't know.

01:55:49.460 I think that's turning around in the country.

01:55:51.400 I know the president made a big announcement about some of these drugs that are out there now.

01:55:55.440 There's a whole new generation of them coming out that are helping people lose weight and all of this.

01:55:59.820 And, I don't know.

01:56:01.560 I think that we've seen a real turnaround.

01:56:04.420 I mean, have you looked at the numbers of the, just the United States and obesity levels?

01:56:09.320 Are they going down?

01:56:10.380 Yeah.

01:56:10.800 They're starting to go down, right?

01:56:11.840 Finally, it looks like we finally peaked.

01:56:14.000 Yeah.

01:56:14.320 We finally have moved off.

01:56:15.960 Well, we peaked from everyone.

01:56:18.560 From all of us.

01:56:20.040 Sorry, all of us are overweight.

01:56:21.500 You can't go anywhere but down from there.

01:56:23.580 Right.

01:56:24.120 But, it was what?

01:56:24.960 What is the percentage?

01:56:25.740 I think it's 40%.

01:56:26.760 40%.

01:56:27.380 It was.

01:56:28.020 So, I think if I'm remembering off the top of my head, it was 30% in like the turn of the century obesity and rose all the way to 40.

01:56:38.860 And, it's dropped down.

01:56:40.760 I think we've dropped down a couple of percent.

01:56:42.580 So, it's not at all clear.

01:56:44.480 Do they attribute that to Ozempic and Monjero?

01:56:47.320 I think partially.

01:56:48.140 Yeah.

01:56:48.340 I think there's a lot of factors, I guess, at play.

01:56:50.460 You know?

01:56:51.860 I mean, I think, you know, some people would think, oh, maybe the Maha thing is part of it, right?

01:56:56.580 Okay.

01:56:56.680 Like, maybe people are trying to turn that around.

01:56:58.540 I don't know.

01:56:59.700 You know, some of that obviously isn't related to weight, but some of it is.

01:57:04.320 You know, maybe there's, everyone wants to be an Instagram model.

01:57:07.700 Maybe that's what everyone these days is doing.

01:57:10.460 But, I think, largely, I would say it's the GLP-1 class of drugs that is responsible for it.

01:57:16.960 And, it seems to be headed in the right direction.

01:57:19.400 We don't know if that's going to be a long-term win for the country, but we do know that, I mean, there was a study that came out the other day that was talking about how the medications are helping heart, you know, bad heart-related outcomes, even when you're not losing weight.

01:57:37.780 One of the theories at the beginning was, okay, you're going to lose a bunch of weight.

01:57:40.380 Of course, your health is going to get better and your heart is going to improve.

01:57:44.440 They're saying that's happening even for people that don't lose weight on it.

01:57:47.480 Wow.

01:57:47.740 They're still having good heart benefits from these drugs.

01:57:51.060 Yeah.

01:57:51.620 Seems to have a lot of it.

01:57:52.700 The things it does are pretty amazing.

01:57:54.720 Pretty amazing.

01:57:55.240 And, you know, look, some people don't like them and some people don't, you know.

01:57:58.520 And, supposedly, there are some side effects.

01:58:01.180 I mean, I think everything has, there's trade-offs with everything, I suppose.

01:58:04.220 Aspirin has side effects.

01:58:05.840 Again, you might not like it.

01:58:07.360 You might be worried about longer-term issues, which a lot of people do.

01:58:12.300 And, that's a tough one to breach because it's like, well, you know,

01:58:15.940 depending on how long you drag out that timeline, these drugs have been around for a long time in some form or another.

01:58:22.160 It just was used for diabetes patients for a big chunk of that time.

01:58:25.820 So, a lot of those people have been on these drugs for a very long time.

01:58:28.220 We have a pretty long record on them.

01:58:30.400 But, you might say, what if it's 50 years?

01:58:32.400 What if it's 80 years of taking them and then it turns into a bad thing?

01:58:35.300 At that point, though, you get into a place where it's almost hard to use anything that's new.

01:58:39.320 Any new discovery, you can always say that about.

01:58:41.900 There's some timeline where at some point in the distant future that it could turn negative.

01:58:46.360 It's hard to know that until you go through multiple generations of people.

01:58:49.700 So, at some point, you're just kind of turning off the entire faucet of innovation, which I don't think that's necessarily a good outcome as well.

01:58:58.380 It's good to balance those concerns, though, I would suppose.

01:59:00.920 Megan Trainor says that a lot of people are upset because she did that song all about the bass, you know, which apparently…

01:59:09.380 Without treble, right?

01:59:10.540 Without treble.

01:59:11.340 Lower treble levels.

01:59:12.600 About the bass.

01:59:13.040 About the bass.

01:59:13.320 She does not have any treble.

01:59:14.360 No treble.

01:59:15.340 But, she does have considerable bass, but zero treble.

01:59:18.460 No treble.

01:59:19.760 Yeah, exactly.

01:59:21.260 And, she said, like, I was 19 when I did that song.

01:59:25.820 I've changed.

01:59:28.600 We really do just lock them in, don't we?

01:59:30.580 19.

01:59:31.900 I'm not all about the bass for the rest of my life, necessarily.

01:59:36.060 Right.

01:59:36.620 If you don't know who she is, you've no doubt seen the State Farm commercial, right, with her and Patrick Mahomes.

01:59:45.060 I don't know that I have seen the State Farm commercial.

01:59:47.120 I have not seen the State Farm commercial.

01:59:48.500 I don't think it.

01:59:49.360 Really?

01:59:49.700 Yeah.

01:59:50.260 I mean, maybe I just didn't know who she was.

01:59:51.760 I know that song, the bass slash treble.

01:59:55.140 Yeah.

01:59:55.320 And, she sings it in the commercial.

01:59:57.500 You'd probably recognize it.

01:59:58.900 Yeah.

01:59:59.500 Probably would.

02:00:00.160 She's, she's, they compare her to a different trainer, like an athletic trainer.

02:00:07.920 And, what you're getting is Megan Trainor, who does the song all about the bass.

02:00:12.980 I have seen some in this selection, this run of ads there.

02:00:17.540 Yeah.

02:00:17.640 I've seen this where they substitute the celebrity name.

02:00:20.180 And then, she obviously doesn't know what she's doing.

02:00:22.600 And, she tries to put some kind of leg brace on Patrick Mahomes' arm.

02:00:27.760 And, he says, not for that.

02:00:29.440 And, then, she says, who are you again?

02:00:32.480 And, he says, I'm Patrick.

02:00:33.940 I play football.

02:00:35.460 She's like, give it up for Patrick, everybody.

02:00:37.840 He does sports.

02:00:39.000 It's actually a funny, funny spot.

02:00:42.240 But, I do think that is a real thing we do with celebrities.

02:00:45.460 And, we just like lock them into that early thing, whatever we know them for.

02:00:48.780 Yes.

02:00:49.200 And, then, they must be that for the rest of their lives.

02:00:51.660 Yeah.

02:00:51.680 Yeah, exactly.

02:00:52.860 And, apparently, she's not into that because she, she did lose some of the bass.

02:00:57.960 And, is a little bit about the treble now, I think.

02:01:00.420 I think there's a little treble going on.

02:01:01.580 There's a little treble.

02:01:02.180 Congratulations.

02:01:03.000 Yeah.

02:01:03.080 Congratulations.

02:01:03.700 Yeah, yeah.

02:01:04.520 I do think the, this happens with celebrities all the time.

02:01:07.980 Like, the example I always think about is Fiona Apple.

02:01:10.360 Remember her?

02:01:10.860 She was a singer.

02:01:12.540 Yeah.

02:01:12.960 You've always been a big Fiona Apple fan.

02:01:14.660 Yeah, I'm a fan.

02:01:15.220 I'm a fan.

02:01:15.620 And, I always felt like she got the, you know, because she, an excellent writer.

02:01:20.020 And, you know, she's, I'm a fan.

02:01:22.580 But, so, anyway, the important part of the story, I suppose, is that she made a speech

02:01:27.440 when she won this award.

02:01:29.440 And, she kind of was like, you know, it was in the, it was in the 90s.

02:01:33.220 And, everyone was like, you know, in that era where everyone was sort of like,

02:01:36.660 it was cool to be negative about things.

02:01:38.460 And, you know, and she said something on the stage of like, you know, this world is BS

02:01:43.100 or something like that.

02:01:44.480 And, you know, and everyone was like, gosh, every article about her for the next 20 years

02:01:51.540 brings up this speech she made when she won, I don't know, best album or whatever it was.

02:01:57.040 And, or best new song, I think it was, that she won on the MTV Music Awards.

02:02:00.900 She was 19 at the time she made that.

02:02:04.780 Now, it's very possible that her worldview, now, I don't know that it's gotten any better

02:02:09.160 over the years, you know, again, she's an artist, but still.

02:02:39.660 We'd love to talk business.

02:02:43.700 A speech you make when you're 19 years old should not be brought up in every single article

02:02:49.700 about you for multiple decades.

02:02:51.540 Yeah, maybe you let it go.

02:02:52.960 After six months.

02:02:54.640 So, what if she made a dumb, cynical point about the world when she was 19 years old?

02:03:00.040 Right.

02:03:00.460 You know, same thing that, this is part, in a way, it's like, it's cousins with the woke phenomenon.

02:03:06.380 Well, like, every time there's, like, a new, you know, some quarterback gets drafted,

02:03:10.020 they're like, did you know when he was 14 he made an insensitive joke?

02:03:14.120 You're like, okay.

02:03:15.900 He made an insensitive joke about Asians when he was 11.

02:03:19.280 I don't think Asians mind.

02:03:20.780 I think they're all just like, you know, I'm going to speak for all Asians here, despite

02:03:24.820 not being Asian, and say that they're not all that upset that some random 11-year-old

02:03:29.960 made a joke about them.

02:03:31.280 They're probably just going to move on with their lives.

02:03:34.280 But, like, that's what we're supposed to do, right?

02:03:35.900 Yeah.

02:03:36.040 We're supposed to get all upset and go back in their history and say, well, what did they

02:03:39.140 never let it go?

02:03:40.220 What did they think when they were in seventh grade?

02:03:43.160 Were they appropriately balanced and nuanced in their worldview when they were in seventh

02:03:49.080 grade?

02:03:49.520 Probably not.

02:03:50.920 They probably didn't know much about anything.

02:03:52.640 Yeah.

02:03:53.080 You know, that's probably what the case was.

02:03:56.080 Maybe we should just all, like, relax about it a little bit.

02:03:58.940 That'd be nice.

02:03:59.440 It's not going to happen, but it would be nice.

02:04:01.920 You know, our community is like a cozy campfire with trusted friends.

02:04:10.260 That's a hell of a lot better than the raging dumpster fire of mainstream media.

02:04:16.320 Glad to have you.

02:04:17.960 Glenn Beck will be right back.

02:04:19.560 Since COVID, millions of Americans have started buying preparedness supplies, especially emergency

02:04:36.020 food, and that's a good thing.

02:04:37.700 But there's a big mistake most people make with their emergency food supply.

02:04:40.960 They don't have any way to cook it in a real emergency when the power is out or the grid

02:04:44.920 is down.

02:04:45.320 That's why My Patriot Supply created their Black Friday Survival Special.

02:04:50.440 It comes with a four-week food supply, plus $150 worth of free gifts, including everything

02:04:55.720 you need to prepare your emergency meals, like a cook stove, fuel, fire starters, plus a water

02:05:01.600 purifier, a bug-out bag, so much more.

02:05:04.440 It's the complete survival kit your family needs to ride out natural disasters or civil

02:05:09.100 unrest or anything worse.

02:05:10.980 It also makes a great Christmas gift, but it's only available through Black Friday, so

02:05:15.300 head to MyPatriotSupply.com slash Glenn and check everything out that's included.

02:05:19.760 With all the uncertainty in the world right now, you just can't afford not to be prepared.

02:05:24.780 So go to MyPatriotSupply.com slash Glenn and get prepared today.

02:05:29.140 MyPatriotSupply.com slash Glenn.

02:05:31.100 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

02:05:45.280 This week, 888-727-BECK.

02:05:47.980 Huge investigation by the Washington Free Beacon has come out, and this is about something

02:05:53.480 we talked about at this time yesterday, Jasmine Crockett.

02:05:55.580 And, you know, she came out, and she put her team to work.

02:06:00.320 They did a deep dive on Jeffrey Epstein and uncovered that Jeffrey Epstein had donated to

02:06:06.680 many Republicans.

02:06:08.860 No.

02:06:09.280 Yeah.

02:06:09.920 And we now have information from the Washington Free Beacon.

02:06:13.440 Democratic Representative Johnny Dupree received donations from Jeffrey Dahmer.

02:06:20.580 Confirmed.

02:06:21.780 Jeffrey Dahmer?

02:06:23.180 Jeffrey Dahmer.

02:06:23.700 Okay.

02:06:24.260 The Jeffrey Dahmer?

02:06:25.260 Act Blue, you know, the Democratic group, received donations from Ted Bundy.

02:06:32.380 Okay.

02:06:33.080 Richard Ramirez donated to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign.

02:06:38.740 Charles Manson to a Democratic Representative, Steve Gaw.

02:06:42.180 Wow.

02:06:42.840 How about this one?

02:06:43.640 This one's surprising to me.

02:06:45.280 Look, I was a little, this is Bernie Sanders' 2020 campaign, received a donation from, it was

02:06:53.400 only $1, so we shouldn't overstate it.

02:06:55.600 But I was surprised Adolf Hitler was making any donations, frankly, in 2020.

02:07:00.500 But apparently did.

02:07:01.580 It does seem unlikely.

02:07:02.760 Mm-hmm.

02:07:03.120 Right?

02:07:03.800 Now, I'm not, I'm less surprised that Peter Hitler donated to many Democrats, including Joe

02:07:11.520 Biden and Kirsten Gillibrand.

02:07:13.060 There really are people with the name Hitler.

02:07:15.680 Hitler.

02:07:16.420 How do you not change it?

02:07:17.620 Wouldn't you change it?

02:07:18.440 Again, I don't know how.

02:07:19.860 Yeah.

02:07:20.340 I just don't care what it costs or what kind of hassle you have to go through.

02:07:24.340 You change your name from Hitler.

02:07:26.280 And I could see saying like, look, I'm not related to the guy.

02:07:30.120 I want to maintain the history of my family name.

02:07:34.240 But do you?

02:07:34.800 No.

02:07:35.640 No, I really don't.

02:07:36.980 No.

02:07:37.360 I don't want to explain that to everybody.

02:07:39.140 No.

02:07:39.280 No, it's not the Hitler family.

02:07:41.440 This is a different, this is the Idaho Hitlers.

02:07:44.720 Oh.

02:07:45.420 Okay.

02:07:45.920 Are you surprised about this, Pat?

02:07:47.600 There's a man been in the news quite a bit lately.

02:07:49.780 Nick Fuentes donated to Kamala Harris for Senate.

02:07:53.140 Wow.

02:07:53.760 In 2019.

02:07:54.660 Wow.

02:07:55.020 Surprising.

02:07:55.340 That seems unlikely.

02:07:56.160 I was surprised about Craig Hosmer receiving this donation from Muhammad Atta.

02:08:03.940 That just sounds terrible.

02:08:05.580 But I was, I was less, I will say, less surprised by that than I was by Barack Obama and Mark

02:08:12.960 Warner, the Democratic Senator, receiving donations in the amount of $250 to Warner, $500 to Barack

02:08:19.940 Obama from John Wilkes Booth.

02:08:23.080 Wow.

02:08:24.360 Wow.

02:08:25.460 A presidential assassin.

02:08:27.820 Yeah.

02:08:28.280 Is donating to their campaigns and they didn't turn down those funds.

02:08:31.100 And they never have to answer for that?

02:08:32.000 No.

02:08:32.640 Wow.

02:08:33.720 Wow.

02:08:34.020 Now, these are the, all of the people, right, that you expect them to be.

02:08:39.760 I mean, it is the John Wilkes Booth, right?

02:08:42.220 Well, our team just did a deep dive on it.

02:08:44.340 Oh, okay.

02:08:45.080 So, I, you know, it was a Peter Hitler.

02:08:49.900 We just don't know.

02:08:50.740 You didn't say.

02:08:51.440 You never did say it.

02:08:52.000 I never said it.

02:08:52.600 I was trying to, I didn't mislead anybody.

02:08:54.500 Wow.

02:09:00.820 This is Glenn Beck.

02:09:04.020 Hey.

02:09:08.220 Oh, yeah.

02:09:09.140 Oh, yeah.

02:09:13.200 Oh, yeah.

02:09:14.820 Oh.

02:09:21.700 Oh, yeah.

02:09:25.900 Oh, yeah.

02:09:26.920 Oh, yeah.

02:09:27.820 Oh, yeah.

02:09:28.020 Oh, yeah.

02:09:30.080 Okay.

02:09:30.560 Oh, yeah.

02:09:30.840 O, yeah.

02:09:31.420 Oh, yeah.
