00:00:00.000 Our sponsor this half hour is Home Title Lock.

00:00:03.360 These days, you'll probably get a shorter list if you ask what is not possible for criminals to steal online.

00:00:09.560 You know, the field of online crimes is, again, very broad and powerful.

00:00:14.040 Here's one you might not know about.

00:00:15.300 It's, you know, it's home title fraud.

00:00:17.600 It's one of the fastest growing white collar crimes in America. 0.86

00:00:20.700 And, you know, basically a hacker can get access to your documents when it comes to your home's title.

00:00:25.700 And then they can file those documents.

00:00:27.380 They can file a sale, make it look like you sold the house to them.

00:00:30.520 Then they can get access to all of your equity.

00:00:33.700 Not fun.

00:00:34.620 It's also, you know, it's not just your equity.

00:00:36.480 It's, first of all, you're going to feel violated.

00:00:38.380 And second of all, it's your retirement.

00:01:06.360 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:31.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:38.840 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

00:01:41.360 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:43.980 888-727-BECK is our phone number.

00:01:48.060 It's nice to see that we've got some citizens who've appointed themselves the overseers of health and safety in this country.

00:01:55.820 And are shaming anybody who goes outside and does things that they don't believe they should be doing.

00:02:04.900 Like, if you go to the beach, then you're essentially a mass murderer.

00:02:09.780 It's interesting to see all of the hatred for people who are going out and sick and tired of being shut in and shut down and locked in and locked down.

00:02:23.800 And now they're just there.

00:02:25.500 It was Memorial Day weekend.

00:02:27.340 A lot of people went out and enjoyed it.

00:02:29.160 Went to the beach.

00:02:29.700 Yeah, you know, conducting themselves in a way that is consistent with, you know, the most, the safest activities you can do when it comes to this virus.

00:02:40.220 Well, you're outside.

00:02:41.060 Outside, open air.

00:02:42.640 Yeah.

00:02:43.120 The, I mean, there's one study, I think it's from China, where they had over 7,000 cases that they studied.

00:02:49.540 And I think one of them occurred outside.

00:02:51.880 One?

00:02:52.420 One.

00:02:53.500 Wow.

00:02:54.100 The chances of it happening outside are very, very low.

00:02:57.180 It's the type of thing that the government, from the beginning, should have been encouraging people to do.

00:03:01.800 Go to the beach.

00:03:02.620 You know, try to stay a little bit away from each other.

00:03:04.060 Maybe don't make out with random strangers on the street.

00:03:06.640 But, you know, stay away.

00:03:07.180 Oh, well, you're really limiting what I like to do there, then.

00:03:10.040 I know that you're a big, you're a big into this.

00:03:12.520 This is your world.

00:03:13.520 Making out with people I don't know.

00:03:14.940 Right.

00:03:15.420 You know, so.

00:03:16.080 Look, I can't eliminate it from everybody.

00:03:17.780 I'm just saying, maybe limit it.

00:03:18.920 Maybe try to limit it 20, 30%.

00:03:21.460 You know, is that possible?

00:03:22.720 Oh, man, that's a lot.

00:03:24.060 Well, we'll try to get, we'll try to see if we can figure out exactly what would work for you and your lifestyle.

00:03:28.080 That we can negotiate.

00:03:28.860 Yeah.

00:03:29.160 But the point is, doing it outside.

00:03:30.700 If you're going to make out with someone, try to do it outside.

00:03:33.480 The open air situation is a big deal.

00:03:36.380 And it seems to be one of the best solutions to this when it comes to transmitting the virus.

00:03:45.100 Now, there's some pictures you saw probably over the weekend.

00:03:47.100 I think it was the Ozarks.

00:03:49.040 Yeah.

00:03:49.300 They were all jammed together in that pool party, which, by the way, looked horrible to me for reasons completely unrelated to COVID-19.

00:03:56.500 Yeah.

00:03:56.720 I don't want to be that close to that many people ever in my life.

00:04:00.260 Right.

00:04:00.860 This isn't something that has nothing to do with the virus.

00:04:03.140 Just please stay away from me.

00:04:05.000 There's a lot of guys with their shirts off and tiny bathing suits, and they're all cramped in together.

00:04:11.220 Looks awful for a hundred reasons.

00:04:13.420 But, so, there is the COVID-19 risk there.

00:04:16.640 Is that something that could lead to an outbreak?

00:04:18.940 It could.

00:04:20.140 Most likely, it won't.

00:04:21.660 Right?

00:04:21.880 I mean, like, we all know, even in the peak of this thing, they were playing NBA and NHL games, and they were doing all of these things in these giant gatherings.

00:04:30.340 And as far as I know, there are no known, you know, major super spreader events that came out of that stuff.

00:04:36.540 It does not mean that every time a lot of people get together, there's going to be mass spread, but it does happen in those situations.

00:04:43.800 You know, there's a funeral in Georgia, famously.

00:04:46.160 There was a choir practice in Seattle.

00:04:48.260 You know, it looks like there was a decent amount of spread from Mardi Gras.

00:04:51.960 It does happen.

00:04:53.120 It's just not common.

00:04:54.660 There was an election in Wisconsin where they went to the polling booth, and that didn't spread it.

00:05:02.680 No, it doesn't seem like there's anything there.

00:05:03.900 Now, that's an interesting example, too.

00:05:06.540 In that, if you look at the footage of that, right, no one's standing within 10 feet of each other.

00:05:12.380 And if we were going to go and follow those sorts of rules, there's almost no chance of this becoming a big problem.

00:05:18.580 There is the idea that, you know, the Ozarks was not what that voting situation was.

00:05:23.180 First of all, it was in Wisconsin, so it's probably cold.

00:05:26.640 Because in my mind, it's always cold in Wisconsin, whether it's July or February.

00:05:31.660 But it was probably cold.

00:05:32.760 You're probably not going to get into a beach situation where everyone's, you know, in bathing suits next to each other.

00:05:37.720 But, like, if you do, if you take basic precautions, right, like the things that you would have done for previous illness if you were being careful about it.

00:05:47.720 Like, if you knew someone was sick at work, you know, someone comes in and they're just sick, they're just coughing.

00:05:53.280 You say, okay, well, number one, maybe you should go home.

00:05:57.100 Number two, let's just stay a little bit away from each other, right?

00:06:00.020 Let's just, like, kind of back off and, like, I'm going to stay over here just so I don't want to get sick.

00:06:03.620 I don't want to deal with it.

00:06:04.280 I don't want to get past it to my kid.

00:06:05.680 Those things that you always would do when you assumed someone was sick, probably a good idea to do now, right?

00:06:11.880 And if you do those things, there's almost no chance that it's going to be, we're going to have a massive re, you know, the flaring up is going to occur again.

00:06:19.380 Unless something dramatic happens with mutation or whatever.

00:06:21.980 But this is the thing, this weekend, it was all about shaming people who went to the beach, which is, again, one of the safer activities you can engage in.

00:06:30.900 Then there was the instance in Staten Island, New York, where they literally chased a woman out of a grocery store because she wasn't wearing a mask.

00:06:41.300 I mean, this is, you can't even understand what they're saying for all the bleeps because they're swearing so much at her, yelling the F word at her, calling her all kinds of names.

00:06:50.440 I think they call her a hoe at one point.

00:06:52.860 They call her every name in the book.

00:06:55.260 She's not wearing a mask.

00:06:56.200 They're all wearing masks.

00:06:57.820 So shouldn't they be protected?

00:07:00.400 They're, you're protected from her.

00:07:02.240 You got the mask on, right?

00:07:04.560 Isn't that why you're wearing the mask?

00:07:06.560 But here's what happened at that grocery store.

00:07:08.660 Get out! 0.98

00:07:22.660 Is that crazy?

00:07:30.440 And in one case, the guy's pulling down his mask so he can yell at her louder.

00:07:36.000 That's great.

00:07:36.940 You know, I don't, I've been to a lot of grocery stores.

00:07:42.780 If you look at me, you know, I'm around food a lot and I haven't seen anything like this.

00:07:48.300 Have you?

00:07:49.420 And I'm not wearing a mask and I haven't.

00:07:51.360 It's a little bit different in Texas, right?

00:07:52.980 I guess maybe.

00:07:54.220 But it is a, it does seem to be happening.

00:07:57.320 And that's the, that was in Staten Island, you know, New York city, part of New York city.

00:08:00.340 So it's maybe they're a little bit more sensitive.

00:08:02.700 My understanding too, is that is a rule of the store.

00:08:05.420 Now, as a person who, you know, believes in the, you know, the, I, the power of a private

00:08:10.400 business and ownership.

00:08:11.780 Yeah.

00:08:11.960 You can institute that rule in your business if you want to.

00:08:14.680 And you should leave if you don't want to deal with it because they can make a rule

00:08:18.800 of, you know, that's, that's something that a private business can do.

00:08:21.740 Right.

00:08:22.200 I'm okay with it.

00:08:23.160 Although I don't necessarily agree with it, you know, it is something that they should

00:08:27.100 be able to do.

00:08:28.300 That has nothing to do with what, what that clip is though.

00:08:30.880 Right.

00:08:31.320 The people screaming.

00:08:32.360 That's just ridiculous.

00:08:33.020 In front of the frozen Brussels sprouts is a little over the top.

00:08:37.660 People shouldn't be acting that way for really any reason.

00:08:40.960 And, you know, this is something where people are, we obviously don't know everything about

00:08:45.360 this virus.

00:08:46.360 We obviously don't know what's going, you know, what's right and what's wrong going forward.

00:08:50.340 We're going to do our best and the fact that you go in there and you are going to get screamed

00:08:55.940 at by a bunch of annoying, you know, do-gooders is really an irritating process.

00:09:03.300 Yeah.

00:09:04.140 And you're doing something that in the beginning, the CDC said the masks weren't going to help.

00:09:11.840 They, in the beginning of this thing, if you, if you remember what the CDC guidelines were,

00:09:17.600 they said the masks really don't do any good on this.

00:09:19.720 Yeah.

00:09:20.360 And then they switched.

00:09:21.360 And then they switched.

00:09:22.420 Well, okay.

00:09:23.060 But which do I believe?

00:09:24.220 Your early thought or your later thought?

00:09:28.220 Because you told me both things.

00:09:29.860 I know.

00:09:30.260 So how do I know which is accurate?

00:09:31.920 Well, you don't.

00:09:32.960 You don't.

00:09:33.200 You don't.

00:09:33.580 Scientists don't really know exactly what they're doing right now.

00:09:39.340 They don't.

00:09:39.880 I don't think they have any idea.

00:09:42.240 We keep hearing, okay, the virus spreads in the air.

00:09:44.840 It doesn't spread in the air.

00:09:45.920 It hangs in the air.

00:09:46.700 It doesn't hang.

00:09:47.240 It lives on surfaces.

00:09:49.040 It doesn't live on surfaces.

00:09:50.600 Right.

00:09:50.840 It's easily spread on contact.

00:09:53.040 It's not easily spread on contact.

00:09:55.420 And look, at some level, this is different than butter and margarine, right?

00:10:00.880 Those things have been around for a while.

00:10:02.300 Why are they switching all the time which one we're supposed to use?

00:10:04.700 It's a novel, new coronavirus.

00:10:07.800 They don't know all the restrictions and rules on it.

00:10:09.920 There are things that have changed, and I think some of that is understandable, given

00:10:14.340 the circumstances.

00:10:14.920 It's a global pandemic that just started a few months ago, right?

00:10:17.920 So they are still learning about it, and that's okay.

00:10:19.960 Yes.

00:10:20.540 But that is more of a reason to not be screaming at people in the frozen food aisle about it.

00:10:26.960 Exactly.

00:10:27.260 If the experts are still changing their opinion, maybe you don't know either.

00:10:32.680 888-727-BDCK.

00:10:35.380 That and Stu for Glenn.

00:10:36.100 So what's the number one sign of a bad home security system?

00:10:46.160 A home security system that is so complicated that you never use it.

00:10:49.560 That is exactly the type of security system that SimpliSafe has spent a decade fighting against.

00:10:55.400 They believe that simpler is safer.

00:10:58.660 And it's exactly why SimpliSafe is the home security for right now.

00:11:03.020 When feeling safe at home has never been more important, SimpliSafe is there.

00:11:08.460 SimpliSafe was designed to be easy to use while protecting your whole home 24-7.

00:11:13.900 You can order online with a click of a button.

00:11:15.880 Nobody's coming to your house.

00:11:17.160 You open a box, place the sensors up, plug it in, and your home is protected around the clock.

00:11:22.120 No technician, no salespeople.

00:11:23.880 They don't disrupt your life.

00:11:25.360 And you don't need to pay any outrageous monthly fees or sign a two-year contract.

00:11:29.780 This is why SimpliSafe was named best overall home security of 2020 by U.S. News and World Report.

00:11:35.680 Head to SimpliSafeBeck.com and get a free HD camera just because you listen to my show at SimpliSafeBeck.com.

00:11:42.140 A remarkable story, Pat, on the same kick from Canada where this weird shaming thing is happening and everyone's criticizing others for their behavior.

00:12:03.620 And it just becomes your definition of whether you're a good citizen or not is if you criticize others as to what they're doing in the middle of a pandemic.

00:12:12.900 And it's a ridiculous instinct, but it's not surprising in some ways.

00:12:17.100 This one actually did surprise me, though, because I didn't see.

00:12:19.780 This is like an M. Night Shyamalan clip to me.

00:12:22.460 Okay.

00:12:22.960 You know, are there dead people?

00:12:25.040 He sees them, you know, but guess what?

00:12:27.640 He's dead, too.

00:12:28.620 It's like there's like a real a real twist on this one.

00:12:31.760 Okay.

00:12:32.200 All right.

00:12:32.880 This is...

00:12:33.700 Did you just spoil the ending, by the way, of The Sixth Sense?

00:12:36.680 I don't even know.

00:12:37.200 It's only been out for 21 years?

00:12:38.860 Oh, God.

00:12:39.280 Spoiler alert.

00:12:40.000 Wow.

00:12:40.440 Spoiler alert.

00:12:41.040 Wow.

00:12:41.500 I was just going to watch that tonight.

00:12:44.900 Bruce Willis is really dead.

00:12:46.180 And he's about 20 years older than he looks in the movie, which is crazy.

00:12:51.000 Here is a clip from...

00:12:52.100 This is...

00:12:52.440 I think it's CTV in Canada.

00:12:55.140 And just to give you a quick scene setting, they're doing the typical,

00:12:58.200 I've noticed young people are out of the park in the nice weather type of report where

00:13:04.240 they're criticizing whether why they're not wearing masks and all this other stuff.

00:13:08.420 So in the middle of an interview, a guy walks up to her and just plants one.

00:13:14.980 Kind of what we were just talking about, Patty.

00:13:16.060 You know how you go out and you make out with people randomly in the streets?

00:13:18.280 Right, yes.

00:13:18.860 Is that your lifestyle?

00:13:19.820 And we don't criticize that.

00:13:21.080 Thank you.

00:13:21.380 That happens in this footage.

00:13:23.420 She's standing there talking with her dog.

00:13:25.460 Listen to the clip and tell me where you think this is going.

00:13:28.180 I feel as if masks are not 100% important.

00:13:33.280 I feel as if...

00:13:34.800 Sorry to interrupt.

00:13:37.280 A spontaneous kiss from someone that she doesn't know.

00:13:43.420 Oh my God.

00:13:45.920 No, I met him for a second with my dog.

00:13:48.900 That's insane.

00:13:50.360 Are you all right?

00:13:51.900 Yeah, he's so hot.

00:13:54.180 Having met just minutes earlier, Jillian McAllen says she's okay with the kiss.

00:14:00.200 Jack me! 0.97

00:14:01.900 We asked Jack Ring, the man who initiated the kiss, if he's aware of all the risks of kissing

00:14:07.200 a person you don't know during a pandemic.

00:14:09.860 Do you worry about possibly either of you having that, contracting, passing, or anything?

00:14:14.280 Oh, not if you just said it right now, but yeah, I probably do right now.

00:14:17.960 I think the kiss was worth it.

00:14:20.300 So the kiss was worth it.

00:14:21.640 It was worth it.

00:14:22.260 Pretty good, right?

00:14:23.200 Now, you see the tone of that reporting, right?

00:14:27.220 It's like, oh my gosh, these guys aren't wearing masks.

00:14:29.200 And now they're kissing each other in the park.

00:14:31.540 I don't know.

00:14:31.920 Like, this is an interesting part of this.

00:14:33.600 And luckily, Pat, you and I don't have to worry about it.

00:14:36.420 But like, do we just turn off courtship entirely?

00:14:40.140 Like, how do you date in this environment?

00:14:43.020 If we're in perpetual lockdown mode, do we just end the species because only the people 0.93

00:14:48.560 who are together can never touch each other again?

00:14:50.480 Like, at some point, there's no more babies that come out of that situation.

00:14:54.020 I hate to alert people on that.

00:14:55.340 But we have to take a one-minute break here, Pat.

00:14:58.120 I would like to know, just take a minute, everybody in their car, you're driving, if

00:16:26.680 Welcome back.

00:16:43.260 It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn Beck, who's on vacation this week.

00:16:46.760 So we're talking about a clip.

00:16:48.020 This is from Canada.

00:16:49.020 They're doing the typical shame young people in the park for being outside during the COVID-19 crisis.

00:16:54.280 And here's the clip.

00:16:56.340 There's an M. Night Shyamalan twist.

00:16:58.400 We'll give you one more chance to listen to it, and then we'll reveal what the real story is here.

00:17:04.580 Listen.

00:17:04.960 I feel as if masks are not 100% important.

00:17:10.060 I feel as if...

00:17:11.280 Sorry, I interrupted.

00:17:12.340 A spontaneous kiss from someone that she doesn't know.

00:17:20.460 Oh, my God.

00:17:22.880 No, I met him for a second with my dog.

00:17:25.640 That's insane.

00:17:27.320 Are you all right?

00:17:28.480 Yeah, he's so hot.

00:17:30.940 Having met just minutes earlier, Jillian McAllen says she's okay with the kiss.

00:17:37.000 Text me!

00:17:37.760 We asked Jack Ring, the man who initiated the kiss, if he's aware of all the risks of kissing a person you don't know during a pandemic.

00:17:46.580 Do you worry about possibly either of you having that, contracting, passing, or anything?

00:17:51.040 Oh, not if he just said it right now, but yeah, I probably do right now.

00:17:54.820 I think the kiss was worth it.

00:17:56.400 I love that.

00:17:57.320 That's a great idea.

00:17:58.220 You know, I didn't really think about it.

00:17:59.820 I'm thinking about it right now, but the kiss was worth it.

00:18:02.260 It's great.

00:18:03.060 Can I guess a twist?

00:18:03.960 Yes.

00:18:04.260 They both died of COVID-19 the next day.

00:18:06.640 The next day!

00:18:07.380 You got it!

00:18:08.100 The next day.

00:18:08.120 Both dead.

00:18:09.300 That would be weird.

00:18:10.500 That would be weird.

00:18:11.260 That was when they passed it.

00:18:11.800 But it would be a sad twist.

00:18:13.300 When you zoom in, you can see the molecules going from one mouth to the other.

00:18:16.900 That's the twist.

00:18:18.000 Okay.

00:18:18.340 So what is the M. Night Shyamalan twist here?

00:18:20.360 This is amazing.

00:18:22.400 CTV, the network that aired that, has apologized for airing an unwanted kiss.

00:18:29.380 They're saying it's a Me Too violation because he never asked her whether he was allowed to kiss her.

00:18:35.780 Isn't it only a Me Too violation if she's offended by it?

00:18:40.660 Right.

00:18:41.120 That's what I thought.

00:18:42.040 And she clearly was not.

00:18:45.140 In fact, she says she laughs.

00:18:46.900 First of all, she laughs hysterically to the point she literally snorts.

00:18:50.300 Yeah.

00:18:50.940 Yes.

00:18:54.140 She's so excited by this kiss.

00:18:56.120 She's cracking up and she snorts.

00:18:58.120 Then she says...

00:19:00.960 No, he's so hot.

00:19:01.900 He's so hot.

00:19:02.780 She was not offended.

00:19:03.840 She says that they had met earlier for a few minutes.

00:19:06.440 Yeah.

00:19:06.640 And also says, text me afterwards.

00:19:09.120 So she's saying, like, she wants future contact and insinuates at least, right?

00:19:14.660 You'd have to know that she's already given her phone number to this guy.

00:19:19.920 Mm-hmm.

00:19:20.240 Right?

00:19:20.760 Mm-hmm.

00:19:21.300 But that is not enough.

00:19:22.860 The...

00:19:23.400 I believe it's the Dandelion Initiative.

00:19:25.880 The Dandelion?

00:19:28.420 The Dandelion Initiative.

00:19:29.440 Initiative.

00:19:29.980 Which is an important initiative.

00:19:31.180 I know you know that, Pat.

00:19:32.200 Oh, of course.

00:19:33.420 Because you had to deal with it all the time because you're constantly going out and making

00:19:36.340 out with people.

00:19:37.320 Strangers.

00:19:37.760 So the Dandelion Initiative has been all over you.

00:19:40.260 Yeah.

00:19:40.500 But they were very upset, started an online pushback against this.

00:19:46.700 They said that they were very grateful for the apology.

00:19:51.080 The network apologized for airing it because a kiss from an unknown person is wrong in every

00:19:59.240 circumstance despite she's now lost her own agency to approve.

00:20:03.500 Wow.

00:20:04.260 Of the kiss.

00:20:05.140 Wow.

00:20:05.500 So this is not just a, hey, let's shame people in the park for not wearing masks, it's also

00:20:09.920 let's shame people for kissing people even when they like it, it's a Me Too violation.

00:20:15.200 Mm-hmm.

00:20:15.860 This is the world you live in now where I thought we had left some of this crap behind because

00:20:20.980 we've got a serious pandemic going on and maybe the nonsense would go away.

00:20:27.720 Nope.

00:20:27.980 But maybe it's a positive sign.

00:20:29.940 It's peering its little head back in.

00:20:32.040 We're getting all the old stupid crap that we used to have to deal with.

00:20:35.000 Yeah.

00:20:35.140 Which honestly would be a welcome respite from dealing with death all the time.

00:20:39.960 Wouldn't it though?

00:20:40.740 Yeah.

00:20:41.120 I was, you know, we complained about 2019 because, well, there was, you know, all the gender stuff, 1.00

00:20:48.860 all the personal pronouns.

00:20:51.260 My personal pronouns are he, him, hers, or me, mine, ours, or they, them, theirs.

00:20:58.700 Yes.

00:20:59.080 And then that went away for a little while, but now it's, you're right, it's all starting

00:21:02.940 to sneak back in and now the Me Too movement is coming back.

00:21:06.320 So we should be excited, I guess.

00:21:08.140 Yes.

00:21:08.700 I mean, because as they say, CTV News apologized for airing a clip that featured, quote,

00:21:13.320 non-consensual behavior.

00:21:16.760 You heard, you said, every-

00:21:18.720 She was totally consenting to that.

00:21:20.080 She was totally consenting to it.

00:21:21.500 Yes.

00:21:21.960 Unless she, unless our new standard is she had to get a notarized form to receive a kiss. 0.99

00:21:27.540 That is a completely, is the most consensual thing I've ever seen.

00:21:31.040 Yeah.

00:21:31.240 Right?

00:21:31.400 Like, she is not only consenting to it, she's thrilled to the point of outwardly snorting.

00:21:39.220 And they still apologized for it.

00:21:42.340 Incredible.

00:21:43.060 And if you, if you were opposed to it in the beginning, you pushed the guy away, right?

00:21:47.260 From the start.

00:21:48.000 Yeah.

00:21:48.320 She clearly did not do that. 0.97

00:21:49.600 She clearly does not.

00:21:50.600 She says, text me.

00:21:51.840 Again, trying to insinuate further contact.

00:21:55.200 Does he have to fill out the form next time?

00:21:57.440 And the guy's like, now remember, this is a guy who they gave the name out of.

00:22:01.520 They gave his name out on the air and accused him now of non-consensual behavior.

00:22:06.320 And he says, he actually responds to it.

00:22:09.320 He says, like, look, I, I don't know.

00:22:11.520 He says, let's see, Jack Ring, the Toronto, told the Toronto Sun Friday, he's been getting

00:22:15.420 a lot of comments that his actions were sexual assault.

00:22:17.700 But he said he met the woman earlier that day, and they had spent time together.

00:22:21.700 She sat down with us for the whole day, and she was telling me she likes me.

00:22:25.200 I went to the shop, and when I was away, she had to leave. 0.66

00:22:27.540 So I, she left her number with a friend, and she told me she wanted to get together.

00:22:31.420 So I came back, and they told me what she said.

00:22:33.780 He said, I seen her being interviewed, so I went in for the kiss.

00:22:36.920 People are assuming some random girl I don't know, which is weird.

00:22:40.200 He's like, I didn't even.

00:22:42.420 Amazing.

00:22:43.080 That's an amazing thing.

00:22:44.400 And now they basically called this guy a rapist for, for kissing a girl who wanted to be kissed

00:22:49.500 by him.

00:22:50.260 Amazing.

00:24:12.620 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:15.940 888-727-BECK.

00:24:17.820 You know, this kiss in the park in Canada where a guy approached a girl and spontaneously kissed her.

00:24:26.860 The CBC apparently broadcasts that.

00:24:29.780 Now they've apologized because he didn't ask her in advance or whatever if he could kiss her,

00:24:34.120 and people are pissed off on her behalf.

00:24:36.380 Well, wait a minute.

00:24:37.380 If she's not mad, why do you care?

00:24:40.760 You can't.

00:24:41.640 You're not the judge of that.

00:24:42.840 She is.

00:24:44.040 And she enjoyed it.

00:24:45.720 Clearly, everybody knows that.

00:24:47.260 And what's empowering for a woman here?

00:24:49.720 Is it that some, you know, male executive gets to decide,

00:24:55.020 oh, that was a non-consensual situation,

00:24:56.880 or that she gets to decide that it's a non-consensual situation or not?

00:25:00.580 She's the one that should.

00:25:01.520 Does that mean that there can be no spontaneity anymore in a romance at all?

00:25:06.740 You can never just kiss somebody.

00:25:08.940 Right.

00:25:09.320 I mean, it's part of the magic, right?

00:25:11.780 Yes.

00:25:12.180 Like, if you're just saying, ma'am, I am thinking about putting my lips on your lips.

00:25:18.040 Would you mind signing this notarized?

00:25:20.320 We'll get that notarized.

00:25:21.220 Then we can have the kiss afterwards.

00:25:22.380 But would you sign this form?

00:25:24.320 And we'll have our lawyers negotiate.

00:25:25.960 And triplicate, please.

00:25:26.720 Sign here, initial here.

00:25:28.040 Sign there, and initial right there.

00:25:29.880 That loses the magic of a first kiss, does it not?

00:25:32.680 Yeah, big time.

00:25:33.460 I mean, if you were to survey the audience right now,

00:25:39.680 every happily married couple,

00:25:43.480 take a minute, a hundred happily married couples,

00:25:46.020 and ask them, on their first kiss,

00:25:49.040 did you ask for permission to start that kiss?

00:25:53.000 With outward, like, permission.

00:25:55.160 Obviously, we all get physical signals, right?

00:25:57.100 Like, that's how most people would try to calculate

00:26:00.040 whether they're allowed to do it or not.

00:26:01.620 You know, does she seem into it?

00:26:04.020 Does he seem into it?

00:26:05.200 Then you go for it, right?

00:26:06.360 I mean, that's kind of how it usually goes.

00:26:07.800 There's a leaning.

00:26:08.940 There's a certain amount of leaning towards each other

00:26:11.380 that indicates the kiss is coming.

00:26:13.260 There's all these things.

00:26:14.380 This is a dance, right?

00:26:15.840 It's, this is supposed to be something

00:26:18.820 that's not easily defined.

00:26:20.760 That's what makes, that's the magic of a relationship.

00:26:24.120 So, instead, there's this now,

00:26:26.860 this thing where you have to have it down in black and white.

00:26:29.340 And if you said, I asked a hundred people,

00:26:31.440 what would the percentage be

00:26:32.780 who actually physically ask,

00:26:34.280 may I kiss you or can I kiss you?

00:26:36.040 It's gotta be pretty.

00:26:36.940 Yeah, 20%.

00:26:37.500 Maybe there could be a reason why you might do it.

00:26:39.760 It might be a romantic ask in a certain, certain.

00:26:42.580 Especially if it was 10 years ago or more.

00:26:46.240 The chances, I think, go way down.

00:26:49.560 The chances that you said,

00:26:51.180 may I, may I kiss you?

00:26:53.900 Because I, I mean,

00:26:56.280 my wife kissed me on our first kiss.

00:26:58.240 Oh my God.

00:26:59.160 And she did not.

00:26:59.500 Was it a non-consensual?

00:27:00.800 She did not ask my permission, Stu.

00:27:03.460 She did not ask me if it was okay.

00:27:06.740 In fact, she jumped me.

00:27:08.160 Oh my God.

00:27:08.760 And practically knocked me over the railing

00:27:10.400 into her parents' bushes.

00:27:14.340 I barely caught my balance.

00:27:17.560 She just, she just leapt in and, and went for it. 0.76

00:27:21.940 Uh, and she did not say, may I kiss you please?

00:27:26.120 Now this is, this is, uh, this is stunning to me because look,

00:27:29.820 I love your wife's cookies, which sounds more flirtatious than it is.

00:27:33.520 She actually has a cookie company, uh, scrumptious cookie.com. 1.00

00:27:37.460 Exactly right.

00:27:38.120 Right.

00:27:38.480 I would like to go buy more cookies there, but I'm a little,

00:27:40.720 after this non-consensual news, I'm a little, right?

00:27:43.860 I don't, I don't know if I want to support a business like that.

00:27:45.920 You're a little disgusted by her, right?

00:27:47.320 And yes, it was, you know, 37 years ago, but still that doesn't make it right.

00:27:52.760 I can see the echoes of that event in your soul.

00:27:55.860 Do you see, do you see that I'm still a little bit troubled by it?

00:28:02.080 No, look, we can go back and watch, you watch the Mad Men era, right?

00:28:06.040 Where like every secretary went by and got groped as they were bringing their copies 0.81

00:28:10.020 to the, to the executives.

00:28:11.520 No one wants to go back to that.

00:28:12.980 I mean, we're not, no one's arguing that.

00:28:14.680 There was a clip actually that happened.

00:28:16.060 Um, relatively recently was a news anchor was filing a report and I want to say someone

00:28:21.740 came by and like gave her a little like slap on the butt as they were walking by and she

00:28:26.180 got, and like completely inappropriate, completely wrong, uh, obviously.

00:28:31.900 And there's a good, a good example for you should be outraged.

00:28:35.460 I would be outraged if that happened to my wife. 1.00

00:28:37.200 I would be freaking pissed off.

00:28:38.600 Yes.

00:28:39.080 And so I understand that like totally, that's a totally different situation than someone being

00:28:43.380 kissed and outwardly telling you she's excited about it.

00:28:47.560 And you still apologize for it and basically call this guy a rapist.

00:28:52.760 Yeah.

00:28:53.000 I mean, you're telling, it's ridiculous.

00:28:55.280 When you have him on camera, you've given his name and then you're saying he was engaging

00:28:59.360 in non-consensual behavior.

00:29:01.000 Like, what is this guy's life like today?

00:29:04.480 He, I guess if you've seen the clip, everyone would say, come on, that's ridiculous.

00:29:08.480 But still you now have it kind of on your record till the end of time.

00:29:11.940 When there's no victim, by the way.

00:29:13.340 No victim.

00:29:13.980 No victim at all.

00:29:14.780 That's a victimless crime right there.

00:29:16.640 Yeah.

00:29:16.800 And it seems like it's a real crime now.

00:29:19.140 So I don't know.

00:29:20.180 A, I have no idea.

00:29:22.040 You know, even though your terrible origin story of your relationship, which sounds so

00:29:26.900 devastating for you.

00:29:28.000 Yeah.

00:29:28.280 It was horrifying.

00:29:29.140 It was horrifying.

00:29:30.300 That aside, I keep thinking to myself, good God, I'm glad I don't have to date in this environment.

00:29:36.060 I would have no idea what the hell to do.

00:29:37.740 I would have no idea.

00:29:39.260 I feel for you if you're out there trying this right now.

00:29:41.480 And especially in the workplace, how do you meet anybody at work now?

00:29:44.760 You can't, right?

00:29:45.580 You can't even approach somebody in a romantic way at work.

00:29:50.720 Yeah.

00:29:51.140 Otherwise, it's sexual harassment.

00:29:52.560 That was my only chance, too.

00:29:54.120 Because, I mean, you know, look, I don't have a game.

00:29:56.920 You know, not a guy who could achieve.

00:30:00.320 There wasn't a lot of picking up in bars that was going to go on in my life.

00:30:04.220 The only chance I ever had was being around long enough to annoy them into entertaining

00:30:09.460 the idea.

00:30:10.620 That was basically my only approach.

00:30:12.920 And it worked at least once.

00:30:14.380 So, you have that going on.

00:30:17.360 The work thing is a big part.

00:30:19.020 Especially if you think back, Pat, to, you know, in our industry in particular, this is

00:30:25.540 as dumb of an industry as it is.

00:30:27.600 It's one that you are constantly working, especially when you're young in your career.

00:30:32.940 If you're not working 20 hours a day, you get nowhere in this industry.

00:30:36.040 Because there's a lot of people who want to be on the radio and want all their free concert

00:30:39.800 tickets and all the crap that goes along with radio as you're coming up in it.

00:30:45.560 You know, a lot of people want to do it.

00:30:47.100 So, you have to outwork everybody.

00:30:48.860 You have no time to do anything.

00:30:50.600 You know, there's no partying.

00:30:52.480 Like, you might get a little bit of that here and there.

00:30:54.240 But generally speaking, it's just one of those industries where you're working for no money,

00:30:58.820 really long hours, doing work that no one else wants to do.

00:31:01.220 That's essentially your first 10 years in the industry for most people.

00:31:04.820 And that is a situation.

00:31:07.200 It is not conducive at all to going out and dating people who aren't also in your industry.

00:31:12.820 Yeah.

00:31:13.400 You know, it's difficult.

00:31:14.480 Working weekends, working nights, working holidays.

00:31:16.600 Yeah.

00:31:16.980 All of that stuff.

00:31:17.880 You know, I think back to my wife who's also in radio.

00:31:20.740 No surprise.

00:31:22.160 She, we used to have, she would have New Year's Eve gigs every New Year's Eve. 1.00

00:31:28.180 And so, if you think about, like, the typical New Year's Eve couples thing that you do,

00:31:31.600 you're out somewhere, the ball comes down, and you kiss your significant other.

00:31:35.580 Kind of like that typical thing that happens.

00:31:37.580 I know with you, Pat, you make out with random strangers on the street usually in that moment.

00:31:40.940 Like, crazy.

00:31:41.800 But, like, so, for 15, 20 years, myself and my wife, she would be on stage doing a countdown

00:31:49.240 at some club because that was what she did. 1.00

00:31:51.720 And I would be sitting by myself at the bar watching, waiting for her to be done so we could

00:31:56.360 go home together.

00:31:57.180 But there was no, none of that stuff happened because she was always on stage, randomly making

00:32:02.360 out with other people.

00:32:03.520 No, I'm all kidding.

00:32:04.280 That didn't happen.

00:32:05.520 Pat was there one time, but forget it.

00:32:07.120 So, my point is, that is, like, it takes you out of that realm.

00:32:11.340 And a lot of jobs are like that.

00:32:12.440 It's not just radio.

00:32:13.540 When you're really, you know, busting your butt to try to get somewhere in your career,

00:32:17.760 those are the people you're around.

00:32:19.380 So, now you can't do anything with them.

00:32:21.920 You apparently can't even, if you meet someone randomly in the park and spend a day with them,

00:32:25.040 you can't even kiss them, even when they want that to happen.

00:32:28.380 I would have no idea how to navigate these waters.

00:32:30.880 I don't know.

00:32:31.480 I would have absolutely no clue.

00:32:33.640 And if you're trying to do it, especially if you were someone who maybe had a relationship

00:32:38.020 early, that a long-term relationship when you were, you know, let's say you're in your

00:32:41.900 early 20s, you're in a long-term relationship.

00:32:43.220 Maybe you get married, you get divorced, and now you're back on the dating scene, and you're

00:32:46.400 trying to jump back into that world after already dealing with it.

00:32:49.400 I don't know how anybody would do it.

00:32:51.920 Look at this.

00:32:53.020 This woman in a park had, that's a nice origin story, isn't it?

00:32:58.300 I think so.

00:32:58.940 Right?

00:32:59.260 Like, if they, when they get married 30 years from now, they're gonna be like, so we're in

00:33:03.720 the park, and we're hanging out, and I had to go to a store.

00:33:06.660 I came back, she was gone, but she left her number.

00:33:08.880 And I really wanted to, you know, contact her.

00:33:10.640 I was so excited.

00:33:11.160 And then I saw her across the park, she was in the middle of a news interview, and I just

00:33:14.060 walked right in, and I gave her a kiss, and that's how mommy and daddy met.

00:33:17.200 How I met your mother.

00:33:18.740 Those are awesome stories.

00:33:20.320 Yeah, that would be a great story.

00:33:21.900 Now, I thought this one was gonna end differently, because when he first kissed her, I thought,

00:33:25.340 oh, she's gonna be pissed. 1.00

00:33:26.500 Yeah.

00:33:27.620 And nope, the exact opposite.

00:33:29.460 And so then you're fine.

00:33:30.700 Okay, well, it turned out well.

00:33:32.440 So now they got something to tell their grandkids, if that worked out.

00:33:35.440 It's, yeah, it's a nice story.

00:33:37.120 And I'll say, you know, to the point of the whole coronavirus,

00:33:41.160 part of this, we act as if you can take, think about this, you're taking everybody

00:33:49.240 in their 20s who's single, whose entire life for the past few years has been, go to a bar,

00:33:55.800 try to meet girls, go to a bar, try to meet guys.

00:33:58.860 It's courtship.

00:33:59.840 You're in that period of your life where that's a big part of it, right?

00:34:02.840 And you're basically saying with a shutdown, just turn it all off for a few months.

00:34:09.280 Like, that is not something you can just do easily.

00:34:14.360 This is an entire world where you're saying no courtship, essentially, in your prime courtship

00:34:20.800 era, just turn it off for a few months.

00:34:24.760 And you know what?

00:34:25.180 Maybe it's 18 months.

00:34:26.260 Maybe it's until we get a vaccine.

00:34:27.780 Could be a few years.

00:34:28.520 Like, that's completely insane.

00:34:31.060 It's a foundational part of the, it's a building block, literally, of the human existence of

00:34:36.700 our species.

00:34:38.620 Yeah.

00:34:39.340 You can't just turn it off.

00:34:40.700 How would you meet people if you're not allowed to go near another human being?

00:34:45.680 How do you have a relationship?

00:34:47.740 You're asking these people, some people who, what if you're dating someone and it's like

00:34:52.100 you're on the borderline.

00:34:52.940 Does this continue?

00:34:53.700 Does it not?

00:34:54.200 Well, I guess it doesn't because we can't see each other.

00:34:58.620 Like, this is a big ask.

00:35:00.360 And the fact that people want to go out and be at a pool within six feet of each other

00:35:04.100 after multiple months of not being able to see another human being is not, it's not a

00:35:08.640 crazy instinct.

00:35:10.240 It's not.

00:35:11.360 No.

00:35:11.580 You do your best, right?

00:35:12.860 We can't turn society off.

00:35:15.220 It's not just the economy.

00:35:16.540 It is society.

00:35:17.480 Here we are talking about the reason our species continues to exist, right?

00:35:22.980 Like, it's that big of a deal if you extend it long enough.

00:35:27.440 You kind of have to allow some of that to happen.

00:35:30.440 Well, like you said, we don't even know how long this continues.

00:35:33.640 They've been telling us, what, it might last up to 18 months?

00:35:36.660 It might last up to 18 months.

00:35:39.340 I mean, you know, with the economy, that's absurd.

00:35:42.680 But with relationships, it's dangerous to civilization.

00:35:48.220 Right?

00:35:48.900 What is the birth?

00:35:49.520 Like, everyone's like, oh, there's going to be this big birth boom in quarantine, which

00:35:53.480 I don't know if that has happened.

00:35:55.440 I kind of tend to doubt it.

00:35:57.200 People who are already married, maybe?

00:35:58.960 Yeah, maybe.

00:35:59.480 Although I tend to think everyone was just disgusted with each other after a couple weeks.

00:36:02.640 I mean, it's potentially revealing for my own situation.

00:36:07.700 But I think, like, generally speaking, people are just disgusted.

00:36:10.700 That's why everyone's got puppies. 1.00

00:36:12.180 There's no baby boom coming. 1.00

00:36:13.300 There's just a puppy boom.

00:36:14.500 That's all there is.

00:36:16.480 888-727-BECK.

00:36:18.340 Just because you can boil water doesn't mean you should run a restaurant.

00:36:33.580 And the same logic goes for identity theft protection.

00:36:36.880 You may be good at monitoring your credit, but that doesn't make you an authority on it.

00:36:40.640 Plus, with data breaches that seem to happen more and more, your personal information could

00:36:45.000 end up anywhere.

00:36:46.200 And with your breached information, criminals can commit identity theft, which is even more

00:36:51.240 reason to use a pro.

00:36:53.180 Because on your own, you can miss certain identity threats, like someone taking out a payday loan

00:36:57.380 in your name or selling your information on the dark web.

00:37:00.280 That's where LifeLock comes in.

00:37:02.380 They see a wide range of identity threats.

00:37:04.620 Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

00:37:08.160 But if you end up with an identity theft issue, a dedicated team of specialists will work

00:37:14.360 with you to fix it.

00:37:15.560 So keep boiling water like a champ, but leave the identity theft protection to LifeLock.

00:37:35.600 888-727-BECK.

00:37:38.700 Anthony Fauci says that if America doesn't reopen soon, it will suffer irreparable damage.

00:37:48.440 Totally reasonable.

00:37:49.500 Yes, I would totally agree.

00:37:50.580 And totally reasonable.

00:37:52.680 And thank you for finally saying it.

00:37:54.580 Yeah.

00:37:55.380 And it's smart for him to say.

00:37:56.960 It is smart for him to say.

00:37:58.980 I wish you would have said it before this, but that's, I mean, I can't argue with that.

00:38:03.580 That's, that's, he's not, I mean, he has been saying all along, I'm the medical guy.

00:38:09.480 I'm the one who tells you what to do medically.

00:38:12.200 I'm not the economy guy.

00:38:14.660 Although now he is saying we can't stay locked down forever because it will destroy the economy.

00:38:20.380 And it will.

00:38:21.240 It will.

00:38:21.780 Of course it will.

00:38:22.620 And that's why, you know, if you want to look at this in a positive light of what we've attempted to do here,

00:38:28.120 you could look at it like a panic room, right?

00:38:29.780 Someone's breaking into your house.

00:38:30.920 You go into your panic room.

00:38:31.860 You lock the doors down.

00:38:32.780 You wait for police to come.

00:38:33.960 But that's a temporary solution.

00:38:36.380 It is not a, it is not any, like, it's not an extensive solution.

00:38:39.160 If you stay in your panic room for the rest of your life, you eventually just die, right?

00:38:42.660 Like, that's not a good, it's not a good idea.

00:38:46.380 It's, it's a temporary, horrible, it's a horrible solution to a problem that is massive.

00:38:52.960 Locking yourself in a room in your home with no windows is not a good solution for almost any situation.

00:38:59.980 Just one situation is a good solution for, which is there's someone breaking into your house with a gun.

00:39:05.580 This is a, the same thing that we have attempted here.

00:39:08.360 Whether, you know, you can argue whether you like the results or not.

00:39:11.180 I think everyone understands that it's terrible for the economy.

00:39:14.180 It does have long-lasting repercussions.

00:39:17.080 And it will be damaging the longer it goes on.

00:39:20.880 You can't, you can't let this stuff go forever.

00:39:23.420 And places like L.A. County in particular are, I mean, even New York is opening up.

00:39:27.700 L.A. County is like, um, August 2026.

00:39:31.000 We're going to start, that's got a 25% capacity at restaurants.

00:39:34.180 I was like, wait a minute, I can't believe how many people live in, in the conservative movement too, are dealing with life in L.A. County right now.

00:39:42.800 That's got to be, that's got to be hell.

00:39:44.880 Uh, yes.

00:39:46.600 And it will be hell again if they shut us down again, if there's a second wave.

00:39:50.640 That's what I'm a little nervous about, is the second wave.

00:39:53.300 Yeah.

00:39:53.580 If it comes, and it might.

00:39:55.460 It might.

00:39:55.780 There might be a second wave.

00:39:57.460 And then, you know, they will insist once again that we shut down the economy again.

00:40:03.140 Uh, and we've got to be ready to say, uh, no, not this time.

00:40:07.380 We're not doing that.

00:40:08.200 Yeah, that was one of the initial solutions they were talking about, which was, you lock it down first, get the disease down low.

00:40:13.620 And then every time you have a new outbreak, you just lock it down again for another month.

00:40:18.680 And you're like, so you're like two months in, in regular life and then back for a month in lockdown and back and forth until we have a vaccine.

00:40:25.260 I can't, that's just screwing with people's heads.

00:40:27.260 Yeah.

00:40:27.480 I don't know that you could deal with that.

00:40:29.600 I don't know how society would, would, would handle something like that, especially American society.

00:40:34.580 You know, like they did a lot of this stuff.

00:40:36.340 We wouldn't handle that well.

00:40:37.120 Yeah.

00:40:37.560 Like there's a lot of places that attempted things like this in Asia, but it's a totally different culture, right? 0.51

00:40:42.900 Like it's, it's a culture that was, is much more used to dealing with the government telling you you're not leaving your home for a certain amount of time.

00:40:49.340 This is totally foreign to the American culture.

00:40:53.240 And look, you get, we gave it this time.

00:40:56.240 It was obviously a serious thing.

00:40:57.740 I mean, these numbers are higher than almost anyone predicted, but still like we did that.

00:41:04.020 We need to find a way going forward.

00:41:05.720 We gave you your time to prepare.

00:41:07.680 We, there's a lot of sacrifices already been done.

00:41:10.200 We have to be able to go back to normal life at some level, even if it's with some precautions.

00:41:15.620 It's only sensible.

00:41:16.880 And even our overlord, Anthony Fauci is saying that.

00:41:20.200 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:26.580 With Pat and Stu.

00:41:28.620 Welcome to it.

00:41:29.840 Great to have you with us.

00:41:30.720 A couple of sports notes.

00:41:37.800 NBA's in talks with Disney about finishing their season at the Disney complex.

00:41:44.320 ESPN has this wide world of sports complex with all kinds of, you know, basketball courts, soccer fields, baseball diamonds,

00:41:54.380 and major league soccer and the NBA are both talking with Disney about doing their seasons there, which would be a pretty good place.

00:42:03.120 I mean, they've got 24,000 hotel rooms.

00:42:05.760 They've got all the venues and, you know, you wouldn't have any people there except for the players, obviously just doing the games.

00:42:14.100 Um, and it'd be a great place to kind of just be secluded away from everybody and, and finish things up.

00:42:23.800 It's the Pauly Shore biodome approach to major league sports, where you're just going to basically keep people quarantined away from the rest of society.

00:42:32.240 Yeah.

00:42:33.020 And, and the reason, one of the big things is they're so worried about one person testing positive on one of these teams.

00:42:39.480 Because if that happens, five do, and then they shut it down again.

00:42:43.440 What they've said is, uh, if somebody gets it and they will, somebody probably will.

00:42:48.080 Yeah.

00:42:48.360 I mean, it's, it's likely, I guess, that someone will get it when everybody comes together.

00:42:53.100 Or you just quarantine them and keep going.

00:42:56.480 You don't have to shut down the season again.

00:42:58.360 Right.

00:42:58.680 But will they do that?

00:43:00.020 I think you have, unless it's like a really big problem.

00:43:03.140 I think you have to just keep going.

00:43:04.980 I think so too.

00:43:05.740 One person testing positive.

00:43:07.060 I think you're right.

00:43:07.660 You quarantine.

00:43:08.460 What happens when eight people on the same team do on an NBA team that has, you know, 12 to 15 people.

00:43:14.180 Then you got a problem.

00:43:14.820 On an active roster.

00:43:16.300 Like, what happens if like you're in the NBA finals and LeBron James tests positive for COVID?

00:43:21.820 What happens?

00:43:22.520 Yeah.

00:43:22.720 Now, obviously, in LeBron's case, I would say he should be ejected from the league and never return.

00:43:27.260 But let's say a player that I like, it happens to.

00:43:31.540 Seriously, like, you know, you put, you know, Giannis for the Bucs tests positive during the NBA finals.

00:43:36.920 What do you do?

00:43:38.040 What do you do?

00:43:38.860 You can't take away the, you know, NBA MVP off of a team in the middle of the finals, can you?

00:43:46.260 But yes, they absolutely would have to.

00:43:48.280 They'd have to.

00:43:48.740 Do you delay it?

00:43:49.240 Do you wait a couple of weeks and wait for him to be, you know, asymptomatic, test negative, make sure everyone else tests?

00:43:54.080 You have to decide all those things in advance, obviously.

00:43:55.660 Oh, my gosh.

00:43:56.220 It's going to be crazy.

00:43:57.380 That is going to be crazy to figure out.

00:43:58.620 They've got to be thinking about all that, right?

00:43:59.800 They have to be.

00:44:01.000 What if LeBron gets COVID-19?

00:44:03.520 Do you shut down the league or do you keep going?

00:44:05.240 And I think you keep going.

00:44:06.320 And as long as it's just LeBron, if it's 15 people spread across different teams, then you probably have to stop.

00:44:15.620 Yeah.

00:44:16.660 You probably, there's some level, right, where this just becomes insane.

00:44:19.420 Yeah, 15, 20 guys get it.

00:44:21.020 Then you're worried about a pandemic sweeping through the NBA and killing NBA basketball players.

00:44:26.260 You'd probably stop.

00:44:27.640 And, you know, like the way they're changing the seasons up, you know, they're trying to be basically a half season for baseball, where they're starting an 82-game season.

00:44:36.640 Hockey is.

00:44:37.000 With 25% pay.

00:44:38.300 Yeah.

00:44:38.820 So I don't know that that ever happens because the players aren't pleased.

00:44:42.420 No.

00:44:42.780 They're not happy about it.

00:44:43.760 And I will say it's an interesting approach to fight about money in the middle of this.

00:44:48.500 It is.

00:44:48.900 It's a tough thing to take.

00:44:50.100 You know, your fans are, you get 38 million people out of work.

00:44:52.820 Yeah.

00:44:53.180 And you're like, you know what?

00:44:54.380 I'm sorry.

00:44:54.880 I can't do it for $2.9 million.

00:44:56.420 I'm not doing it for that.

00:44:58.180 Half work at $2.9 million?

00:44:59.780 No way.

00:45:00.440 I don't cross the street for $2.9 million.

00:45:03.820 Nope.

00:45:04.440 But on the other hand, from the player's perspective, I signed a contract to play this sport.

00:45:10.320 Yeah.

00:45:11.160 When you're making $40,000 a year, though, you don't understand the guy who won't play for $3 million a year.

00:45:16.240 It's tough.

00:45:16.720 It's a tough one.

00:45:17.240 You need to really be careful.

00:45:18.380 Like the pitcher who was talking about that.

00:45:19.680 Who was that?

00:45:20.320 Was that Snell?

00:45:20.940 Blake Snell?

00:45:21.220 Yeah, it was.

00:45:22.140 It was.

00:45:22.540 Who makes $7.5 million.

00:45:24.200 And I think he was talking about working for $2.5 million.

00:45:27.660 And you were like, okay, you won't do that.

00:45:30.120 Yeah.

00:45:30.240 He said it's not worth it for me to do.

00:45:31.660 It's not worth it.

00:45:32.740 Now, he's a guy who's going to get.

00:45:33.820 You'll make zero if you don't play at all.

00:45:35.840 Right.

00:45:36.180 But he's a guy who has a future where he's going to be making probably $20 million a year.

00:45:40.140 And doesn't want to risk going back and risk really more than, you know, I don't know.

00:45:44.700 Like risking injury for $2.5 million for him is probably not sensible financially.

00:45:49.480 Yeah, maybe.

00:45:50.280 However, you have to take context into the equation here.

00:45:55.000 You're in the middle of a pandemic where people have been locked in their homes.

00:46:00.500 38 million people are out of work.

00:46:02.660 At some point, do you just say, look, I would have dreamed to play a half season in the major leagues for $2.9 million my entire life until probably a couple years ago.

00:46:12.780 Yes.

00:46:13.100 Maybe I suck it up here and just go for it.

00:46:15.820 They lose that perspective, though, I think.

00:46:17.740 But like, think about this, Pat.

00:46:19.060 You go back to you're a major league baseball player.

00:46:23.080 You don't, you're thinking of yourself.

00:46:25.160 You're not thinking about the average person.

00:46:26.780 What's the best thing for your situation?

00:46:28.820 And you know what?

00:46:29.640 You think, well, I'll go back.

00:46:31.340 And the first time I've got muscle soreness, I'm out.

00:46:34.840 I can't pitch.

00:46:35.560 I'm hurt.

00:46:36.620 Like, are you, there's going to be guys faking injuries.

00:46:39.020 There's going to be guys who are, you know, I have a minor surgery that I could get.

00:46:43.100 We're playing this season.

00:46:44.080 Screw it.

00:46:44.740 I'm getting the surgery and staying home.

00:46:46.420 They're going to have to pay me anyway.

00:46:48.080 And then I don't risk.

00:46:49.120 I don't have this risk associated.

00:46:51.000 Not everyone's going to do that.

00:46:52.120 But it's going to happen.

00:46:53.680 All this stuff is crazy.

00:46:55.180 I mean, you think about, there's a huge story today about how tons of companies.

00:47:01.780 They, they, they, one of the, I'm trying to think which insurance company, Nationwide maybe?

00:47:06.060 The Nationwide is saying that the work at home thing is working so well for us.

00:47:08.900 We're going to go from 20 Nationwide offices, hubs to four.

00:47:14.720 Oh, wow.

00:47:15.420 We're going to go from 20 to four.

00:47:16.240 Because everyone's working at home, it's working out fine.

00:47:17.760 So we're like, we're just going to keep going with that.

00:47:19.800 A ton of companies are going to find out that, you know, we really don't need these.

00:47:22.680 Do we need this giant building?

00:47:24.060 Right.

00:47:24.380 Like, why, we have like 20 floors of this building.

00:47:26.820 Why don't we have one floor of this building?

00:47:28.520 Yeah.

00:47:28.880 You know?

00:47:29.880 In Manhattan, that's already an issue.

00:47:31.640 Yeah.

00:47:32.380 Commercial real estate is going to be a real concern.

00:47:36.420 Big time.

00:47:36.860 You know?

00:47:37.260 Because a lot of these companies can do this.

00:47:39.400 They have found out.

00:47:40.400 It works pretty well.

00:47:42.000 Yeah.

00:47:42.240 We're doing okay.

00:47:43.040 I was talking to someone around here who's normally in the office and came in just, you

00:47:47.240 know, randomly to pick up a couple things.

00:47:50.020 And it was like, it's just working great for us at home.

00:47:52.280 Like, we're able to be really productive.

00:47:54.260 It's even to be focused.

00:47:55.160 I don't have to worry about all these side conversations I'm coming in and having with

00:47:58.900 everybody who's passing by.

00:48:00.400 Yeah.

00:48:00.480 It's the opposite.

00:48:01.440 The very opposite of what was in fashion a few years ago, which was the open office.

00:48:05.520 Right.

00:48:05.800 Where everyone, every single meeting we have, everything you do should be in full view of

00:48:10.120 everyone.

00:48:10.800 So you can always, and I have always hated that.

00:48:13.060 We used to be bust on Glenn for that because he loves the open office thing.

00:48:16.080 But like, this is the total opposite, right?

00:48:18.300 Yeah.

00:48:18.460 No one knows anything, has any idea what you're doing.

00:48:21.160 I have no idea what the productivity levels are.

00:48:24.260 You know, nationwide when it comes to business, it's a whole change of society.

00:48:29.000 When you look around, we're about the only ones who come into the studio.

00:48:32.780 Yeah.

00:48:33.420 It's just us.

00:48:34.560 It's about 10 people here, maybe, on a daily basis.

00:48:37.320 Like, you know, when it comes to people who help get the show on the air, a few others.

00:48:41.020 But it's interesting because when you look around at any media, they're always at home.

00:48:45.920 Yeah.

00:48:46.400 They're at home.

00:48:47.420 Almost everybody.

00:48:48.740 I do think, tell me if you think I'm wrong on this, Pat.

00:48:51.240 I think at some level it's become a virtue signaling thing.

00:48:54.540 Yeah.

00:48:55.040 Look, I'm at home.

00:48:56.220 I'm being responsible.

00:48:57.620 Right.

00:48:57.720 Like, why wouldn't you, let's say you're running the Stephen Colbert show or John Oliver, right?

00:49:06.340 You can rent a facility or you could retrofit a part of his 10,000 square foot house to make

00:49:14.600 it actually into a studio, right?

00:49:17.120 Like, so it doesn't look like he's on Skype.

00:49:19.060 Right.

00:49:19.280 Like, this would not be difficult for any of these companies to do.

00:49:22.200 In a way, they're just virtue signaling.

00:49:24.080 Like, look at us.

00:49:24.720 We're in this with you.

00:49:25.840 We are in this with you.

00:49:27.100 See, there's a bookcase behind him.

00:49:28.540 That means he's in his basement right now.

00:49:32.200 Just like you are.

00:49:33.220 Yeah.

00:49:33.640 We're all in our basements.

00:49:34.680 We are.

00:49:35.220 Right now.

00:49:35.540 We're the same.

00:49:36.360 Now, sure, my bookcase is 14 stories tall.

00:49:39.680 Yes.

00:49:40.420 Yes.

00:49:40.800 But I'm just like you.

00:49:42.400 And it's in a five-story library that's in my home, but don't notice that part.

00:49:50.400 There's some video that went, you know, somewhat viral video of, you know, it was kind of a

00:49:55.900 parody of the Imagine thing that they did at the beginning of this pandemic.

00:50:00.240 Remember all the celebrities were like, imagine there's no heaven.

00:50:03.460 It's easy if you can.

00:50:04.920 Or whatever.

00:50:05.460 Yes.

00:50:06.040 That's on.

00:50:07.040 And they all like traded it off and everyone made fun of them.

00:50:09.700 And they did a rework of that with Eat It by Weird Al, which just randomly all saying

00:50:15.260 it very seriously to the camera.

00:50:16.640 I think it was Bob and David from Mr. Show.

00:50:18.940 They did a reunion thing for charity and put this.

00:50:21.060 The very last part of it, though, is Weird Al.

00:50:23.240 And he's very dramatically saying, just eat it, like into the camera.

00:50:27.820 And then he ends it with, we're all in this together.

00:50:30.720 And then it just pans.

00:50:31.720 And he just realized he's in this ridiculous mansion in the Hollywood Hills overlooking

00:50:35.400 all of Los Angeles.

00:50:36.360 Like intentional snow plan to show that he's not in it with you at all.

00:50:40.660 He's Weird Al.

00:50:41.800 The guy's been making parody songs and he's a multimillionaire and he has no connection

00:50:45.400 to your life at all.

00:50:46.720 Okay.

00:50:47.440 That is, that's the truth of it.

00:50:49.060 He's got a $30 million mansion in the Hollywood Hills.

00:50:51.700 Great for him.

00:50:52.360 I have not, I do not begrudge him at all.

00:50:54.160 But like, they're not in this together with you.

00:50:56.520 No, no, no.

00:50:57.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:51:00.180 Getting a fresh start doesn't always have to take forever.

00:52:22.220 Hey, so apparently there's a new documentary out about Lance Armstrong?

00:52:28.820 Yeah, it's 30 for 30 on ESPN.

00:52:33.580 30 for 30, they do such a great job.

00:52:36.340 So good.

00:52:36.720 Those are always good.

00:52:38.120 They're always good.

00:52:38.820 I can watch any of them.

00:52:40.180 I love it.

00:52:40.860 And I like sports anyway, and I like documentaries.

00:52:43.100 So this is right down my alley.

00:52:44.220 But still, they do a very good job with most of these.

00:52:48.280 And they just came off of-

00:52:49.440 Armstrong's a fascinating subject.

00:52:51.200 He is.

00:52:51.600 They just came off of this Jordan thing, the 98 Bulls, a 10-part series that got ridiculous

00:52:56.760 ratings.

00:52:57.820 It was great.

00:52:58.180 And at the end of it, they started promoting, okay, now we're going to do this every Sunday

00:53:00.940 in this slot.

00:53:01.520 We know you're kind of conditioned.

00:53:03.200 Hey, we're going to come back with a great sports story next week.

00:53:05.220 So they came back with one, Lance Armstrong.

00:53:07.500 I think it's called Lance.

00:53:08.760 And it's basically his story, rise and fall of his career.

00:53:13.260 And it's in two parts.

00:53:14.560 So last week was the first part, and the next week will be the ending of it.

00:53:19.520 Two things I find interesting about it.

00:53:21.580 Armstrong is a really interesting guy in that it's him being interviewed, everybody he was

00:53:28.780 on the cycling teams with, everybody around him, like real insight on that story.

00:53:34.300 And I don't care about cycling, but it's still a fascinating, it was a fascinating American

00:53:37.520 triumph initially that turned into obviously a totally different tale later on.

00:53:42.620 Because he won the Tour de France seven times.

00:53:44.500 Was it seven?

00:53:45.360 Seven times.

00:53:46.560 Yeah.

00:53:47.580 And so that, I mean, that was a huge record.

00:53:51.100 And especially since Americans don't usually win that race, because Americans don't usually 0.98

00:53:55.940 care about cycling like Lance Armstrong did.

00:53:58.740 At one point, the guys, one of the people who was being interviewed was like, one of the

00:54:02.860 things you learn about American cyclists in particular is they're all really weird. 1.00

00:54:07.480 And he's like, you know, because the thing is, if you're a great athlete and you're in

00:54:11.540 America and you go into cycling, like it's a strange choice.

00:54:16.200 Yeah, because nobody's paying attention to you, really.

00:54:18.400 The great athletes go into basketball and baseball and all these other sports.

00:54:21.760 So if you pick cycling, you're just strange.

00:54:23.880 And the only reason anybody paid attention to Lance Armstrong was because he consistently

00:54:27.860 won in a sport that Americans never win.

00:54:32.240 Yeah.

00:54:32.480 Or rarely.

00:54:33.040 Right.

00:54:33.480 Exactly.

00:54:34.120 And something that made Americans actually care about the sport, because it was fun to

00:54:38.400 watch every other country who did care about it lose to us.

00:54:41.740 That's why I liked it.

00:54:42.760 Yeah.

00:54:42.960 It was just fun to see that.

00:54:44.240 And I mean, and I used to just defend him like.

00:54:48.380 Oh, yeah.

00:54:48.920 To the ends of the earth.

00:54:51.500 Yeah.

00:54:52.020 He's.

00:54:52.480 Yeah.

00:54:52.880 In France, he's using banned substances, deodorant, that kind of stuff.

00:55:04.060 And then it turns out, no, he's been doing steroids and blood doping in every manner.

00:55:10.800 You believed him, even when the accusations came in for years and years.

00:55:14.180 Yeah.

00:55:14.340 Because he was so strong in his denial.

00:55:17.860 And you were, you defended him, if I remember right, almost right up to the time where he

00:55:21.360 admitted.

00:55:21.580 I did.

00:55:22.320 Yeah, I did.

00:55:22.740 And that was that literally right up to the time when he admitted it.

00:55:26.580 And then it's like, wow, you just.

00:55:28.080 OK, I remember when this happened and it reminded me of of how Hillary Clinton should

00:55:34.620 have felt when Bill was like allowing her to go on television and say it's a right wing

00:55:40.480 conspiracy, right?

00:55:41.640 Like it's a right wing conspiracy.

00:55:43.560 It's all you know, it's got nothing to this.

00:55:45.640 Oh, by the way.

00:55:46.180 Yeah, it was sleeping with her.

00:55:47.500 Sorry, honey.

00:55:48.740 You know, wouldn't you feel so betrayed?

00:55:50.720 And I think like I watching you as a real defender and then him admitting it, like it pisses you

00:55:56.540 off.

00:55:56.780 I've spent my capital out there defending you.

00:55:59.680 Yes.

00:55:59.860 And look what you've done.

00:56:00.880 Yes.

00:56:01.180 So that part of it is really, I think, fascinating from just a level of the story was really good

00:56:06.420 and well told.

00:56:07.180 And he's just he's an interesting storyteller.

00:56:09.180 You know, he's because he's very honest about it, right?

00:56:12.720 Very honest about it.

00:56:13.580 He was with all of it, too.

00:56:14.900 I mean, he did the Oprah interview shortly after maybe a year or two after it all came

00:56:19.640 out.

00:56:20.100 And that was really blunt.

00:56:21.520 Yeah.

00:56:22.120 And so he just he just lets it out now.

00:56:24.760 But I think even more than this, Pat, I would love to get your take on this.

00:56:28.840 But the documentary starts first minute is, you know, they do those cool like set up

00:56:36.240 things where they kind of give you a little insight of the story, but not give it away.

00:56:40.300 And it starts with Lance Armstrong telling his talking about his life today.

00:56:45.480 When he goes out, he's at a restaurant or a bar and people start coming up and talk to

00:56:50.340 him.

00:56:50.400 He's a famous guy.

00:56:51.100 And what do they say when they walk up to him?

00:56:54.080 Not the things are not pleasant.

00:56:55.780 OK, and he describes these interactions and the way he describes them is basically to say

00:57:02.220 everyone comes up to him and says F you to his face over and over and over and over again.

00:57:09.100 And he says with no bleeps the whole word F you over.

00:57:15.740 And in the first two minutes of this ESPN, he must say this 20 times.

00:57:20.340 In the first minute and a half or two minutes of this documentary, it's on ESPN, which is

00:57:26.420 a Disney owned network that is at eight o'clock at night on Sunday, on Sunday, listing out

00:57:33.520 constant streams of F bombs with no edits and no one says anything.

00:57:38.600 It's a strange choice for ESPN to just let that happen.

00:57:42.540 Right.

00:57:42.960 It's very strange.

00:57:44.760 Let's take a quick one minute break.

00:57:46.260 I want to get your take on this, Pat, because the cultural part of this is really fascinating.

00:57:50.080 How far we've moved with no one noticing back in a second.

00:58:01.700 So I know what you're thinking.

00:58:02.920 You're thinking Glenn went out to his ranch and he thinks he's going to have a good time,

00:58:06.460 but he forgot about the rec tech grill at home that brought him so much pleasure.

00:58:11.100 What do you think?

00:58:11.860 I am a rookie.

00:58:12.640 You don't get a body shaped like this without thinking ahead.

00:58:16.180 No, sir.

00:58:17.160 That's why I have another rec tech grill here at the ranch.

00:58:20.300 Is that cheating?

00:58:21.400 Yes.

00:58:21.940 And I will feel badly about it every time I bite into that delicious tender rib that is

00:58:28.560 probably on the grill right now.

00:58:31.020 Smart technology controlled grilling surface is just the best rec tech grills.

00:58:36.400 Top of the line.

00:58:37.200 Even if you've been hiding under a rock all this time and don't know anything about them,

00:58:41.320 check them out on their social media.

00:58:42.700 They have thousands of rave reviews.

00:58:44.720 Check this out.

00:58:45.260 If you're looking for a grill and a smoker, it's the best rec tech grills.

00:58:50.080 Go there now and enter for your chance to win the same grill that I have for Father's

00:58:54.340 Day.

00:58:54.580 It's R-E-C-T-E-C grills with an S dot com. 1.00

00:58:58.420 That's rec tech grills dot com slash back.

00:59:17.240 It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn.

00:59:18.900 He's on vacation this week.

00:59:19.940 We're talking about Lance, the documentary from ESPN 30 for 30.

00:59:24.020 And every time I talk about this particular topic, I hear the voice of Jeffy in my head

00:59:28.620 saying, word, please, because he gets upset when anyone says you shouldn't be constantly

00:59:35.280 swearing because there's only three words he knows are F-bombs and variations on the

00:59:39.780 term.

00:59:40.280 But like I am take away the fact of whether it's right or wrong for just a second.

00:59:45.700 I am fascinated that we are a culture that went through the Janet Jackson thing in the

00:59:51.060 Super Bowl, right?

00:59:51.760 I remember it being a massively big deal when South Park aired an unedited episode at midnight

00:59:59.240 on Comedy Central, right?

01:00:01.500 Not that long ago.

01:00:02.980 I mean, within the last decade.

01:00:04.700 Okay.

01:00:05.120 Yeah.

01:00:05.520 When I know that like it's always sunny in Philadelphia is a show that I love.

01:00:09.160 It's on FX and they will occasionally let, you know, like not occasionally a decent amount

01:00:14.280 now, the S swear, S-bomb. 0.53

01:00:18.640 And that is out there.

01:00:19.880 They don't say the F-word though.

01:00:20.880 I don't think so.

01:00:22.560 They do.

01:00:23.040 But they get pretty aggressive with the language.

01:00:25.920 But it's always sunny in Philadelphia.

01:00:27.380 It's a show designed to be offensive for adults on an adult network.

01:00:32.000 Right.

01:00:32.100 This is ESPN on Sunday at like eight o'clock, unedited F-bombs in a constant stream.

01:00:39.300 You watched The Last Dance on the edited version of it.

01:00:42.520 And you could see how many swears there were.

01:00:43.800 And I don't think I missed anything.

01:00:44.180 No, you don't miss anything.

01:00:45.000 There's no reason.

01:00:46.060 There's no reason for it.

01:00:47.820 But what I'm fascinated by is why this has happened with no cultural discussion.

01:00:53.360 No, I know it's a pandemic, so like there's other things to focus on.

01:00:59.240 But this has been, this has just gone from zero to a hundred miles an hour in two seconds

01:01:04.160 and nobody noticed.

01:01:05.460 Like this is a, it's a Disney corporation is doing this.

01:01:09.280 I think you're about the only person I've heard bring this up.

01:01:11.880 Is that weird?

01:01:12.620 It is weird.

01:01:13.440 I mean, millions and millions and millions of people watched this Jordan documentary.

01:01:18.260 I guess we're so desensitized to it now that they're just like, well, okay.

01:01:21.920 That's how he talks.

01:01:22.580 I guess this is how, yeah.

01:01:23.480 This is how it happens now.

01:01:24.600 We just, this, because no one's going to be surprised that athletes are swearing.

01:01:28.000 No.

01:01:28.440 But I would be surprised that they're just letting it go without any edits.

01:01:32.860 And all, the only thing you do is you get at the beginning of it that there's some language

01:01:35.960 in this thing.

01:01:36.780 Like there's a little, there's a little disclaimer at the beginning.

01:01:39.100 Yeah.

01:01:39.200 Is there?

01:01:40.060 Because it seems like the cultural norm, there's no FCC concerns here.

01:01:44.000 This is cable.

01:01:44.760 I'm not saying anyone should get involved and ban this language.

01:01:47.320 I'm just, I just find it odd that there has been this massive cultural shift.

01:01:52.140 It is.

01:01:52.580 The fact that the Disney corporation is saying, you know what?

01:01:55.940 This is a good first two minutes of one of our, it's our, one of our marquee products

01:02:01.060 in their marquee time slot.

01:02:03.180 The thing that's getting the most attention.

01:02:05.340 Yep.

01:02:05.540 And no one said, Hey, Hey, you know, what does the mouse say about this?

01:02:09.860 Right?

01:02:10.000 Like what, what's goofy saying about this?

01:02:12.220 I mean, it's goofy going to start just like, gosh, instead of, it's like, it's right around

01:02:21.260 the corner.

01:02:23.020 I mean, I don't even want to be, it's a small world would be very twisted experience.

01:02:27.920 I think in this current Disney environment, I'm surprised no one's called them out.

01:02:32.940 That is, I guess, my biggest surprise here.

01:02:34.820 Amazing.

01:02:35.280 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B E C K.

01:02:37.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:02:44.440 Okay, from the start.

01:02:48.720 Acerola, cherry, alfalfa leaf, aloe vera, apples, asparagus, banana, beets, bell pepper, broccoli,

01:02:55.900 blueberries, blackberries, cranberry.

01:02:58.460 We make Texas superfood from 55, count them, 55 raw, vine ripened fruits and vegetables,

01:03:04.440 langoustine, pineapple, sweet potato, apaya, parsley, raspberry, spinach.

01:03:09.520 In a capsule or a powder, one daily dose of Texas superfood delivers the healthy benefits

01:03:14.240 of 55 fresh fruits and vegetables, and you can see them all on texassuperfood.com.

01:03:19.580 All of the nutrients that we need on a daily basis.

01:03:22.620 I was off all my prescription medications in the first 30 days.

01:03:26.580 I lost count.

01:03:27.640 I mean, that's huge.

01:03:28.740 Since I've been on superfood, I haven't been sick.

01:03:31.700 Thousands of people benefit from taking Texas superfood every day.

01:03:35.340 Shouldn't you be one of them?

01:03:36.560 It's borderline shocking how much energy I have.

01:03:39.260 Join us on texassuperfood.com.

01:03:42.600 Texas superfood.com.

01:03:44.700 Texas superfood.com.

01:03:47.160 Doing our part to keep free speech alive.

01:03:50.580 There's much more after the break on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:05.960 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:08.860 He's on vacation this week, and he's eating really healthily.

01:04:15.240 He just ordered five dozen of our cookies from my wife's cookie company, which is scrumptiouscookie.com.

01:04:23.480 Yes.

01:04:23.820 If you'd like to order some for yourself.

01:04:25.240 And we just opened this up to eight more states.

01:04:27.900 Oh, nice.

01:04:28.700 That's just a start.

01:04:29.500 We're doing the West.

01:04:30.800 Then we're going to do, I don't know where we go from here, but hopefully soon everything will be opened up.

01:04:37.240 But scrumptiouscookie.com if you'd like to get some delicious cookies.

01:04:40.540 And you've opened up the factory in Wuhan, I understand.

01:04:42.720 In Wuhan, yes.

01:04:43.260 Congratulations.

01:04:43.640 So you can get the COVID-19 chocolate chip cookie.

01:04:47.200 Delicious.

01:04:48.200 It's worth it.

01:04:48.680 But I will say, I would get COVID-19 to eat one of your wife's chocolate chip cookies.

01:04:52.000 They're delicious.

01:04:53.720 So he ordered five dozen.

01:04:55.200 So he ordered five dozen of them.

01:04:58.300 This is after, what, two or three dozen last week and a couple dozen the week before.

01:05:03.500 So look for him to come back a little more visible than he's even been up until this point.

01:05:10.260 Because there will be more of him to view.

01:05:13.480 Is anyone else getting these cookies?

01:05:15.440 Is it like for the house or is it just Glenn?

01:05:17.200 No, just Glenn.

01:05:18.200 It's just him.

01:05:18.800 He keeps them in like a bathroom cabinet.

01:05:21.520 And just as he sneaks in and eats a cookie every time he goes.

01:05:23.880 I don't know, man.

01:05:24.680 But he has been for sure our biggest client so far.

01:05:28.940 In many ways.

01:05:29.700 In many ways.

01:05:30.340 In many ways.

01:05:31.160 Yes.

01:05:31.400 Yeah, no, those are delicious and I can understand that order.

01:05:35.540 However, I will say this is very common.

01:05:38.800 Maybe not with your cookies in particular, but people are just eating like there's no tomorrow.

01:05:43.220 Yeah, well, because it's comforting, right?

01:05:45.420 It is.

01:05:46.220 You just, I mean, things are so different and we've been turned upside down.

01:05:49.700 And so you just want some kind of comfort.

01:05:51.880 And so you turn to food.

01:05:54.320 Yeah.

01:05:54.980 And I kept thinking to myself, you know, we used to go out, we would go out to eat.

01:05:57.620 My wife would always, we have date night or whatever on the weekend. 1.00

01:06:00.300 And we go out and have a nice dinner if we can.

01:06:02.500 And we were saving that money for a while.

01:06:04.600 And I thought to myself, you know, what I should do is spend that money on food that I can

01:06:09.460 have shipped to me.

01:06:10.800 So I was going on that Gold Belly.

01:06:12.320 You ever use Gold Belly?

01:06:13.500 That's one of those sites.

01:06:14.420 I haven't.

01:06:15.000 It's basically like a DoorDash or whatever.

01:06:17.640 No, not exactly.

01:06:18.940 It's no.

01:06:19.200 So Uber Eats will deliver from restaurants around you, right?

01:06:21.620 Yeah.

01:06:22.240 DoorDash or excuse me, Gold Belly is like all of the best foods from all around the country.

01:06:28.440 So it's almost like a national DoorDash in a way.

01:06:31.940 So like if you want a New York pizza from the New York place, they will get it and they

01:06:37.000 freeze it and send it to you and it comes directly from the place.

01:06:41.160 So the best, you know, cakes and cookies and you should get on there with a cookie company.

01:06:45.300 For sure.

01:06:45.960 Pies, everything.

01:06:46.960 The famous ones.

01:06:48.040 It is.

01:06:48.700 It's on the expensive side for sure.

01:06:50.860 Yeah.

01:06:51.140 You know, because it's quick shipping.

01:06:52.720 Yeah.

01:06:53.140 But like again, like if I'm going to, you know, if I'm going to spend a normal, I'll

01:06:57.560 go to a normal restaurant around here that might be okay and you're going to spend what

01:07:00.800 30 bucks a person or whatever.

01:07:03.060 You can, if you're going to spend 30 bucks a person, you can get the best, you know,

01:07:07.500 pizza or like I ordered some place that sent lasagna.

01:07:10.240 It was unbelievable.

01:07:11.640 Like I was like, again, you know, you're heating, you're reheating it and stuff, but hey, why

01:07:16.180 not?

01:07:16.620 I'm in a quarantine.

01:07:17.860 I might as well get the best food from around the country was my theory.

01:07:20.940 I like that though.

01:07:21.800 That's a good idea.

01:07:22.600 It's also a great way to gain weight.

01:07:24.240 Yes.

01:07:24.640 Because then you get large portions of delicious food from around the country and you can just

01:07:29.420 kind of just dive in whenever you want.

01:07:31.160 And that's a really, not a great thing for your physique.

01:07:34.180 No.

01:07:34.760 And my problem is I'm the only one in my house doing that.

01:07:37.800 So I'm becoming extremely, extraordinarily large.

01:07:42.340 I've outgrown the house now.

01:07:43.640 I have to live in a separate.

01:07:45.560 Oh no.

01:07:46.340 Yeah.

01:07:46.640 A separate domicile from the rest of my family.

01:07:48.660 Cause they're all doing healthier stuff.

01:07:50.260 Oh, I hate those people.

01:07:51.440 Oh, they're just, they make me sick.

01:07:53.720 They make me sick.

01:07:54.900 My wife is full fledged vegetarian now for probably six or eight months. 0.98

01:07:58.960 Uh, my, one of my sons has become a vegetarian, vegetarian, but only about three weeks worth,

01:08:04.880 but he's doing really well, not eating meat for three weeks.

01:08:07.420 And one of my daughters also not eating meat. 0.97

01:08:09.860 And they're all on this health kick of vegetables every night.

01:08:13.400 Sorry.

01:08:13.800 I'm not joining you in that quite clearly.

01:08:16.720 Will you, will you accept the vegetables on the side of your steak or no?

01:08:19.580 No.

01:08:20.500 Nope.

01:08:20.920 Not even on the side.

01:08:22.020 Nowhere on my plate.

01:08:23.900 It is an interesting thing.

01:08:25.380 You know, um, uh, this, I talked to, uh, the guy who is the CEO of impossible foods.

01:08:32.180 Um, you know, the impossible burger.

01:08:33.760 Yeah.

01:08:33.960 And it was something that you guys taste tested on the air live with real meat and the impossible

01:08:38.360 burger.

01:08:39.140 And couldn't tell the difference.

01:08:40.280 Couldn't tell the difference.

01:08:40.900 In fact, I think you both said that the impossible burger was the real burger.

01:08:44.960 I think we did.

01:08:45.460 Yeah.

01:08:45.700 Uh, and the, which was crazy.

01:08:47.740 Was that in the Burger King test?

01:08:49.240 Is that?

01:08:49.520 No, that was the, it was another place.

01:08:50.880 Oh yeah.

01:08:51.100 Another, yeah.

01:08:51.760 Yeah.

01:08:51.800 The higher end one.

01:08:52.560 Yeah.

01:08:52.660 The higher end one.

01:08:53.460 And so I was talking to him and it was interesting about him.

01:08:55.740 I thought was he is like, you know, look, he, he wants to make a burger that people eat

01:09:03.220 instead of meat.

01:09:03.860 Like it's out his, his goal is to, to, to win that battle, but he wants to do it within

01:09:08.680 capitalism.

01:09:09.680 And he was talking about the, how, what the great things that capitalism has accomplished

01:09:13.320 and how he's not looking for government help.

01:09:16.060 He's not going to shame anyone into eating it.

01:09:17.960 And this guy's probably not conservative, right?

01:09:19.980 Yeah.

01:09:20.140 I don't know what his politics are.

01:09:21.440 He, you know, he definitely was friendly to capitalism.

01:09:24.060 Definitely like it didn't, he said a couple of times, he said, uh, you know, I look, what

01:09:28.940 we want from the government is for them to get out of our way so we can do our thing.

01:09:32.100 Nice.

01:09:32.420 Like, like I love hearing that.

01:09:34.180 Yeah.

01:09:34.400 I don't even get that from Exxon anymore.

01:09:36.420 Right.

01:09:36.520 Like I can't get a freaking company to say the free market does anything.

01:09:40.140 And I'm getting it from the guy who's making, you know, vegetarian meat products.

01:09:44.120 I can get it from him, but I can't get it from a, you know, BP.

01:09:48.260 Yeah.

01:09:48.460 What happened?

01:09:49.360 I don't, I don't understand.

01:09:50.780 They've all caved.

01:09:51.420 They've all caved.

01:09:52.120 They all act as if the free market is this evil thing.

01:09:54.840 And here, you know, here's a guy who's saying like, look, we want to win this battle because

01:09:58.360 our product is not as good as meat, but better.

01:10:01.440 We want people to like it more.

01:10:02.980 You got to love that attitude.

01:10:03.780 That's a great attitude.

01:10:04.900 I really liked, I liked hearing that.

01:10:06.800 It was a, it was a really interesting conversation.

01:10:08.520 And I think he's, you'd like, you like the someone who's going to, you know, he was a scientist

01:10:12.840 and he left this to start this company.

01:10:14.880 And he's built, I mean, I, you know, it is, as you know, as well, it tastes really, really

01:10:20.200 good.

01:10:20.500 And you know, whether you like it, it's up to you, but I like that.

01:10:23.540 He's like, you know, free choice.

01:10:24.680 Like the only way that this is going to happen, he brought up a great example of, uh, in China,

01:10:29.540 they, the Chinese government told their people to cut meat, uh, intake by, I think like 50%.

01:10:36.680 He's like, you know, the Chinese government has some success level with convincing people to

01:10:41.700 do things in their country.

01:10:42.820 Like I basically control it.

01:10:44.780 And as he pointed out, like they basically did nothing.

01:10:47.080 They didn't change their habits at all.

01:10:48.540 He's like, if the Chinese government's threats won't stop you to change your habits, trying 0.99

01:10:54.220 to convince people to not eat meat or say, Hey, you know what?

01:10:56.620 It's really good for the environment or whatever.

01:10:58.060 It's not going to change their habits.

01:10:59.300 What's going to change their habits is if they like it more.

01:11:01.680 Offer them a better alternative.

01:11:04.020 Brilliant.

01:11:04.660 Yeah.

01:11:04.940 And he's like, you know, we can do, we're going to, you know, eventually get to the point

01:11:07.620 where this is cheaper than, than, than meat that you're traditionally getting.

01:11:11.940 We're not there yet.

01:11:12.380 We're not there yet.

01:11:13.100 It's right.

01:11:13.660 It's not there yet, but it's getting there.

01:11:15.220 Uh, you know, that you'll like, he's like, it'll be healthier.

01:11:17.280 You'll like it more.

01:11:18.020 Like, you know, again, it's his company.

01:11:19.300 He's saying good things about it, but it was, I just love the approach.

01:11:22.400 The fact that he wasn't trying to shame us into it.

01:11:24.300 He wasn't trying to say, he even said, he's like, you know, I don't want a farm bill that

01:11:28.360 helps our company.

01:11:29.400 I want them out of our way.

01:11:31.660 Like, wow.

01:11:32.460 That's really refreshing.

01:11:33.720 Yeah.

01:11:34.040 Kind of, it kind of is.

01:11:34.980 Uh, he actually mentioned, uh, your taste test with you and Glenn on, uh, he, he did

01:11:39.040 a podcast.

01:11:39.720 Have you heard of how I built this?

01:11:41.680 Um, I think I have.

01:11:42.900 Yeah.

01:11:43.160 It's one where they basically profile companies and they actually mentioned, they mentioned

01:11:48.340 Glenn in the middle of this and the taste test that you guys did.

01:11:51.580 The guy, the CEO of the company saw the video.

01:11:54.040 So, uh, here, listen, listen to this clip.

01:11:56.280 It's from how I built this from NPR.

01:11:58.260 Just last year, um, you, you upgraded the recipe for the burger and then you began rolling

01:12:03.760 it out at grocery stores and then at Burger King, which introduced, uh, the impossible

01:12:09.540 Whopper that people went crazy for.

01:12:11.400 And then Applebee's and White Castle and, and all these other chains started selling it

01:12:15.820 and people loved it.

01:12:17.220 I mean, I think even, even like Glenn Beck, you know, people like who are like, you, you

01:12:22.040 would imagine would go after vegetarians or like, uh, like they, they loved it. 1.00

01:12:26.940 Right.

01:12:27.280 He was, he was hilarious.

01:12:28.720 Did you see that video?

01:12:30.060 Yeah.

01:12:30.640 Oh, it's hilarious.

01:12:31.660 Yeah.

01:12:31.980 Yeah.

01:12:32.180 Glenn Beck is like, this is, I eat this.

01:12:34.360 This is great.

01:12:35.460 I can't tell the difference.

01:12:37.060 And you went from like, just, you know, David Chang and a couple of restaurants in 2016

01:12:41.220 to now it's, they're everywhere.

01:12:43.860 And see the surprising thing there is that they've discovered that conservatives will like

01:12:50.080 something if it's quality.

01:12:51.440 Well, we don't care about the ideology.

01:12:53.820 Give, if, if it tastes as good or better than meat, I'll definitely eat it.

01:12:58.660 It's just like we've been saying for years, give me an alternative to an SUV, to gasoline

01:13:04.880 powered engines that is viable all the time where I can, you know, I don't have to completely

01:13:12.180 turn my life upside down to use it.

01:13:14.460 Yeah.

01:13:14.720 And we'll use it.

01:13:15.620 That's what Elon Musk has tried to do with Tesla.

01:13:18.160 You know, we have a, we have one of the producers here at the blaze who has installed the solar

01:13:24.020 panels and, um, uh, Tesla batteries in their house.

01:13:28.880 Uh, and every, every month he sends me a text.

01:13:31.680 He's like, check this out.

01:13:33.000 It's just his electricity bill.

01:13:34.340 It's like 10 cents, like legitimately like 10 cents for the month.

01:13:38.300 Provide an alternative.

01:13:39.380 We'll use it.

01:13:40.060 He liked it.

01:13:40.800 He likes it better and it works great for him.

01:13:43.320 I mean, it might not work if you're in some cloudy area or I don't know how, you know,

01:13:45.660 like there's certain differences in different places, but he's in Texas and it works great

01:13:50.780 for him.

01:13:51.080 He basically pays nothing for electricity now that he's paid for the system.

01:13:55.060 Wow.

01:13:55.260 Um, and, and so those things, I think that's how you win these battles.

01:13:59.060 You don't win the battle by saying, well, uh, you know, you're a bad person if you don't

01:14:03.660 do the thing that I want the same way, by the way, when we talk about the COVID thing that

01:14:09.100 we're dealing with now, you're never going to win the battle by screaming at someone, not

01:14:13.000 wearing a mask at a grocery store.

01:14:14.460 Like if you believe the thing that doesn't help the cause at all, try to convince people,

01:14:18.620 try to show them, you know, lead by example, be cool, you know, talk to somebody about like

01:14:23.800 why you think this is, you know, is the right thing.

01:14:26.160 But if it's not, you know, you do your own thing.

01:14:28.600 That sort of stuff is much more effective than screaming at people in a grocery store.

01:14:32.680 That's insanity.

01:14:34.040 Yet that's, that's the left's approach to everything.

01:14:36.500 Every one of these issues, you know what?

01:14:38.100 Yeah.

01:14:38.260 Well, you're a bad person.

01:14:39.240 If you use too much electricity, you're a bad person.

01:14:41.700 If you eat meat, you're a bad person.

01:14:43.420 If you don't wear a mask, you're bad.

01:14:45.220 You're bad.

01:14:45.660 You're bad.

01:14:46.080 You're bad.

01:14:46.500 Well, I'm sorry.

01:14:47.420 We see you.

01:14:48.140 You're not that great.

01:14:49.320 You know, you can't, you know, if I read it, you know, in the Bible, I mean, people have

01:14:54.360 a tough enough time listening to that.

01:14:56.460 And that's the ultimate authority.

01:14:57.920 I think I can listen to you because of your stupid Instagram comments because you've shamed

01:15:02.900 to me at a, at a beach, it doesn't work on anybody, does it?

01:15:06.960 No.

01:15:07.920 That's why this approach from, what's his name?

01:15:11.880 The, the inventor of the impossible burger?

01:15:14.560 Pat Brown.

01:15:15.460 Pat Brown.

01:15:15.960 Okay.

01:15:16.340 Yeah.

01:15:16.520 So that's why that's such a great approach.

01:15:18.780 It's a great approach.

01:15:19.420 Yeah.

01:15:19.560 Make a good product and people will just gravitate toward it.

01:15:22.360 Yeah.

01:15:22.680 I have a, you know, a decent amount of people.

01:15:25.060 I mean, I, as you know, I'm a vegetarian.

01:15:26.860 I will say Glenn Beck does come after vegetarians. 0.83

01:15:28.800 Me.

01:15:29.000 Um, but almost every day, almost every day, but most people in my life don't, you know,

01:15:34.020 don't, aren't idiots like me. 0.62

01:15:35.900 Um, and so they eat, they eat whatever they want.

01:15:38.000 Lisa's not a vegetarian, is she?

01:15:39.340 She's not, but she, she loves that impossible burger, man.

01:15:42.000 A lot of them, because of course I order it because I like it.

01:15:45.320 They try it and then they wind up just ordering it because they like it.

01:15:48.500 Yeah.

01:15:48.860 Right.

01:15:49.340 So that's how you win.

01:15:51.620 That's how you win that battle.

01:15:53.060 You're not going to win that battle by guilting people and putting scary videos on the internet.

01:15:57.220 And, you know, that is not how that happens.

01:15:59.780 I think it's a great, it was just, it was, it's a nice approach to hear.

01:16:03.000 It was nice to hear a freaking person in business say something good about the free market for once.

01:16:07.860 And I'm sorry, what show was that a part of?

01:16:09.820 Oh, uh, Stu Does America.

01:16:11.360 Stu Does America.

01:16:12.100 Yes.

01:16:12.440 Where would I find that?

01:16:13.260 Well, you can go to YouTube, search for Stu.

01:16:15.200 Okay.

01:16:15.500 And I'll be the first one there and watch every episode for free or sign up on podcasts.

01:16:18.480 Fascinating.

01:16:19.060 You should totally do that.

01:16:20.220 It's definitely worth it.

01:17:37.520 888-727-BECK.

01:17:39.640 Interesting article maybe we should talk about coming up is where does the government get the right to require vaccinations?

01:17:49.700 Where does that come from?

01:17:51.300 Or does it come from any place?

01:17:52.720 Does the government have a right to mandate that you receive a vaccination if one becomes available for this virus?

01:18:01.240 Or for anything.

01:18:02.380 Or for anything.

01:18:03.140 I don't think they do.

01:18:05.220 I don't think so either.

01:18:07.340 Not an anti-vaccine guy.

01:18:10.120 Vaccinate me for everything.

01:18:11.280 I'm all in.

01:18:12.360 I get the flu thing every year.

01:18:14.040 My kids are fully vaccinated.

01:18:15.780 Like, I'm not at all against them.

01:18:18.400 I think the science is pretty good on it, frankly.

01:18:22.700 However, the government forcing people to do things like this.

01:18:26.360 It makes you not want to take it then, right?

01:18:27.800 Even if you do it voluntarily.

01:18:28.820 Screw you! 1.00

01:18:29.380 I'll get sick all week!

01:18:31.540 Like, it does.

01:18:32.340 You almost want to do it at a point of protest.

01:18:34.820 We did a poll a couple of weeks ago at Pat Unleashed on Twitter with my listeners of if a vaccine is developed and it becomes available, but it's mandated, will you take it?

01:18:48.480 And 73% of people said no.

01:18:51.180 73-27.

01:18:52.400 Wow.

01:18:52.780 No, I wouldn't take it.

01:18:53.940 You think that's realistic?

01:18:54.720 Is that in a real-world situation?

01:18:56.620 It's hard to say because you're not in that situation.

01:19:00.000 Though I will say...

01:19:00.840 But it seemed real.

01:19:01.740 I think two people are at the point now where they feel like, all right, the worst is behind us.

01:19:05.620 You know, we're now prepared a little bit.

01:19:06.920 We kind of understand this a little bit better.

01:19:09.160 So I don't need the vaccine?

01:19:09.860 So I don't need it, maybe.

01:19:11.340 You know, like people don't...

01:19:12.780 I mean, the flu vaccine is not near 100% effective, but a lot of people don't...

01:19:17.160 It's only about half the people take it.

01:19:19.300 And a lot of that is because people think, well, it's the flu.

01:19:22.560 Right.

01:19:22.740 I've thought that myself.

01:19:23.700 Me too.

01:19:23.800 There's been years I didn't get it.

01:19:24.680 I was like, well, if I get the flu, I get the flu.

01:19:26.380 Who cares?

01:19:27.020 It's just the freaking flu.

01:19:28.120 Exactly.

01:19:28.860 And so I think if people are really scared about it, like if we got to a situation, you

01:19:33.660 know, this happened with the Spanish flu in 1918, where 1919 was much worse than 1918,

01:19:38.160 and it got really ugly with the second wave, if the United States turned into a bunch of Manhattans 0.85

01:19:44.540 and we were all at that level of freaking out of, holy crap, like lots of people are

01:19:50.020 dying.

01:19:50.720 It's really, really ugly.

01:19:52.220 It doesn't feel like Manhattan in a lot of the country.

01:19:55.080 If it did, I think you have a much different percentage on that.

01:19:57.740 People would be much more willing to go for that.

01:20:00.140 That's probably true.

01:20:01.200 But right now, I mean, people look at it, well, you know, like it's...

01:20:04.540 I'll take my chances.

01:20:05.200 Yeah, it's bad.

01:20:06.200 It's definitely bad.

01:20:07.140 I mean, you know, I mean, look, we've had a lot of people die over this, and it's going

01:20:11.000 to be a lot more.

01:20:11.820 I mean, we're still, even on good days, we're still losing 700, 800 people a day.

01:20:15.760 Yeah.

01:20:15.960 You know, the biggest cause of death in America is about 1700 a day.

01:20:21.400 So, you know, you look at it that way, and it's like, it's still pretty.

01:20:24.800 It's not pretty.

01:20:26.140 No, it's significant.

01:20:27.240 It's a significant problem.

01:20:28.340 But we feel we've learned enough about it now to kind of maybe be able to stay out of

01:20:32.620 its way.

01:20:34.020 And if it doesn't feel like it's a huge flare-up, I think a lot of people will say,

01:20:37.280 no, no thanks.

01:20:37.900 Yeah, I think so, too.

01:20:43.040 But we'll see.

01:20:44.600 I mean, we might not even get a vaccine.

01:20:46.480 Who knows?

01:20:46.920 That's not even a guarantee.

01:20:48.660 You might have to, you know, we might have to brave this for a while without any chemical

01:20:54.360 help.

01:20:55.060 They seem really confident about it, but I...

01:20:57.040 Yeah, they do.

01:20:57.740 I guess it's just everyone coming together to try to do the same thing at the same time

01:21:00.980 they think they're going to solve it.

01:21:02.340 But I mean, they've never solved anything in 18 months like this.

01:21:05.320 Never.

01:21:05.960 It's never happened.

01:21:06.540 Although this feels like, you know, when they say they've got a Manhattan project going.

01:21:11.300 Yeah.

01:21:11.520 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:18.560 With Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.

01:21:22.800 Some amazing things that we just heard about in the four-minute buzz from Hillary just a 0.98

01:21:29.300 few minutes ago.

01:21:29.880 Wow.

01:21:30.440 I mean, first of all, the fact that the CDC has revised their mortality rate on COVID-19

01:21:39.660 from about three or four percent-ish, where they were saying it was 10 times what it would

01:21:47.740 be 10 to 50 times or something more dangerous death rate-wise than the influenza.

01:21:57.140 Now they've revised that from three or four percent to point four percent death rate with

01:22:04.980 COVID-19.

01:22:05.680 Which I think is about, you know, I did a show on this and I think in February, because Trump

01:22:11.940 was getting beat up about him saying, I think it's going to be less than one percent.

01:22:15.340 I think we're going to find out it's going to be less than one percent.

01:22:17.080 And he's getting hammered like, no, the World Health Organization says 3.4 percent.

01:22:22.180 It's like, no, that's not what they said.

01:22:23.820 When you looked at what they said, including all the scientists on this, they all were saying,

01:22:27.900 we're not picking up millions and millions of cases.

01:22:29.980 Because we don't think it's going to be anywhere near where it is now, but that takes time for

01:22:34.900 it to come down where you understand how far it's spread.

01:22:37.820 People can speculate.

01:22:39.360 You know, that's what happens.

01:22:41.100 It's just a very much unknown factor of a new virus.

01:22:46.400 Like, very much known.

01:22:47.360 Trump was completely right on this.

01:22:48.880 All of his experts were saying it too, by the way.

01:22:51.660 But the media said, no, look at this report from the World Health Organization, who is really

01:22:56.380 just reporting the current rate, you know, like we only have discovered, you know, for

01:23:02.260 every 100 cases we've discovered, three people are dying, right?

01:23:05.800 Well, there's a lot of cases they're not discovering.

01:23:08.400 This might be three out of a thousand.

01:23:10.180 That still would be worse than the flu.

01:23:12.280 But, you know, it's a totally different scenario to prepare for, obviously.

01:23:15.500 And we probably first got a really good look at that from that Stanford study where they

01:23:19.140 looked into Marin County and how many people had the antibodies as opposed to how many people

01:23:23.640 had the virus and the estimates and all that.

01:23:25.460 It was 50 to 85 times higher the number of people who were actually infected, which lowered

01:23:32.100 the mortality rate by, you know, a factor of 10 or 100.

01:23:36.640 Yeah.

01:23:36.920 And look, you know, I've thought for, I've said on the air a bunch of times, I think,

01:23:40.540 I actually said 0.4 is what I think it's going to end up at.

01:23:43.380 And then the Lancet said 0.66.

01:23:45.620 You know, the initial, the princess, the island princess ship, which is a really good look

01:23:50.520 at this because it's isolated.

01:23:51.780 Like, there's no, you know where every case is, right?

01:23:54.320 That turned out at a 0.8% mortality rate.

01:23:58.700 However, you know, because it's a cruise, more older people, there's reasons why it 1.00

01:24:02.580 was a little higher.

01:24:03.460 But it was a good sense to make sure that it was going to be, a good sense that it was

01:24:06.860 going to figure, you know, wind up being less than 1%.

01:24:09.800 The other part of this, though, is when you talk about that study, which does show that

01:24:14.480 the fatality rate is going to be less.

01:24:16.860 This idea that we're somewhat close to herd, you know, herd immunity is, I mean, it does

01:24:22.900 not seem to be being proved out at all.

01:24:25.260 I mean, like even the study you're talking about, which did say, you know, it was 50 times

01:24:29.180 as many people thought, had it than they, they had tests for.

01:24:31.860 It also said the high number of people in the county was 5.6%.

01:24:37.660 It was like 2.8 to 5.6% was their range of people who had had it already.

01:24:42.860 So we're not, I mean, the highest number anywhere in the country was New York City, which was

01:24:48.120 19.9%.

01:24:49.440 So we're nowhere near, they think it's like 4% of the country has had this so far, something

01:24:54.140 like that, which is still a huge number and does lower the mortality rate considerably.

01:24:58.660 But it is not something where we are like, oh, well, 80% of people have had it, so we're

01:25:03.600 going to be fine.

01:25:04.780 No one else.

01:25:05.140 Which you kind of wish it were that way.

01:25:06.780 Yeah, that's what you want.

01:25:07.320 It's one of those things where I wish I had that disease.

01:25:09.200 It's a weird thing to say.

01:25:10.380 Yeah.

01:25:10.740 But I know we've had people here have done the antibody tests, which are now much more

01:25:14.800 widely available than they were previously.

01:25:17.220 And you go in there rooting for the idea that you actually had COVID-19.

01:25:21.500 Yes.

01:25:21.640 Because now you survived it, it would be over, and now you can go do whatever you want,

01:25:25.120 in theory, because of the immunity, which does seem to be proved out.

01:25:28.720 That's another piece of good news we had last week.

01:25:30.860 That you do have some immunity.

01:25:32.180 It does.

01:25:32.800 They don't know how much, they don't know for how long.

01:25:35.240 Yeah.

01:25:35.500 But most of that has been speculation.

01:25:37.880 I mean, I've heard Fauci say this in his testimony, where he says, we do believe it will

01:25:44.340 give you immunity, but we don't, we haven't, we don't have the final, you know, confirmed

01:25:48.960 test results of that yet.

01:25:50.120 We believe it because we've watched every other virus and how it acts.

01:25:54.300 So we believe it's going to react the same way, but we don't have it confirmed yet.

01:25:58.020 The first confirmations really started trickling in last week where they found there is some

01:26:02.640 level of immunity for some time.

01:26:04.800 It just depends on how long that is and how, what does that mean?

01:26:07.740 Like immunity doesn't always mean you don't get it.

01:26:10.400 A lot of times it means it's just a lot more manageable.

01:26:14.760 Like you might get, you might get a milder case of it.

01:26:17.320 It might be much more mild and it's not that big of a deal.

01:26:19.380 Either one of those is a good outcome.

01:26:21.080 Yeah.

01:26:21.320 You know, we just don't want, I mean, I had enough of this thing.

01:26:24.460 I want it out of my face.

01:26:26.100 You know, I, I really do.

01:26:28.480 I would love to move on to something else.

01:26:30.540 And, but I mean, this week, maybe even today we're, we're going to hit a hundred thousand

01:26:35.220 deaths.

01:26:35.660 And when that happens, you're going to get parades from the mainstream media.

01:26:39.580 They're going to do ticker tape parades. 0.81

01:26:41.780 Yes.

01:26:42.120 That sounds irresponsible.

01:26:44.380 Dancing elephants.

01:26:45.080 Really?

01:26:45.560 Yes.

01:26:46.680 Wow.

01:26:47.260 Ticker tape, lion trainers.

01:26:50.240 It's all of it.

01:26:51.300 The whole circus is going to be brought out for us when it hits a hundred thousand.

01:26:54.740 Can you, I mean, they love to talk about the amount of deaths that, that there have been

01:27:00.680 because then they pin it all back to Donald Trump and blame it on him.

01:27:04.660 Obviously ridiculous.

01:27:05.740 Of course, that's what they're going to do.

01:27:07.020 I don't know if the American people are going to do that.

01:27:08.840 No.

01:27:09.360 Some will.

01:27:10.020 Mainstream media will do that.

01:27:11.380 So many people have their minds made up on Trump.

01:27:13.300 And it does seem that the people who hate him are blaming him for everything.

01:27:16.500 People who love him are blaming him for nothing.

01:27:18.760 And, you know, so I think there's, you know, I don't think the response has been perfect

01:27:22.580 from anybody.

01:27:23.860 You know, governors, you know, the president, the CDC, I think has had major missteps.

01:27:29.960 Oh, huge.

01:27:30.860 Yeah.

01:27:31.080 Huge.

01:27:31.420 But that being said, it's a frigging, it's a difficult situation to deal with.

01:27:35.820 It is.

01:27:36.100 You know, I mean, it's not easy.

01:27:37.280 But then you got people blatantly removing the blame from themselves and then placing

01:27:42.760 it on the president, like Andrew Cuomo.

01:27:45.020 Oh, he's the worst.

01:27:46.060 With the nursing home thing.

01:27:47.880 He's trying to depoliticize it by saying that he was following the federal guidelines from

01:27:52.760 the Trump administration.

01:27:53.740 No, he signed an executive order that sent COVID-19 patients to nursing homes.

01:28:03.260 Guaranteed they would be admitted with COVID-19, COVID-19 positive.

01:28:07.900 And also the other part of that, which doesn't get as much attention, is that he prohibited

01:28:12.420 nursing homes from testing patients for COVID-19 if they weren't showing symptoms.

01:28:17.760 So like if you wanted to say, okay, we're bringing in five new people, let's make sure

01:28:21.160 they don't have COVID before we, you know, get them started here, right?

01:28:24.120 Totally sensible thing, responsible thing to do.

01:28:26.380 And they said, you can't do that.

01:28:27.860 You're prohibited from doing it.

01:28:28.760 You couldn't have done a worse job if you were trying to kill people.

01:28:31.940 Well, I honestly ask you this question.

01:28:34.760 If you were to design a policy, which had a goal of killing as many people in nursing

01:28:40.380 homes as you could.

01:28:41.380 Which was 5,000, by the way.

01:28:42.860 And it's much more than that, by the way.

01:28:44.500 Probably more.

01:28:45.140 It's 5,000 confirmed, but they are not, they did this thing where they were taking people

01:28:49.600 who were in nursing homes, got sick, went to the hospital, died at the hospital.

01:28:53.340 They weren't counting them as nursing home deaths.

01:28:54.820 Oh, wow.

01:28:55.340 Which is infuriating.

01:28:56.300 Oh, wow.

01:28:57.660 I mean, so it's probably at least another 5,000 because they're probably around like

01:29:01.500 everywhere else is.

01:29:02.460 It's about 40, between 40 and 60% of deaths throughout states are from nursing homes.

01:29:07.220 It's a big part of this.

01:29:08.240 The biggest part of this.

01:29:09.180 Yeah.

01:29:09.360 And, you know, he, if you were to design a policy where you're like, you know what?

01:29:13.320 These old people are a real problem. 1.00

01:29:14.840 They're draining our resources.

01:29:16.420 You know, they've already done that whole, you know, soylent green thing.

01:29:19.840 So we can't really go down that road.

01:29:21.060 What should we do?

01:29:22.720 Would you change a bit of Andrew Cuomo's strategy if that was your goal?

01:29:27.100 No.

01:29:27.920 You would say, you know what?

01:29:28.680 Don't test people coming in.

01:29:29.940 Not right.

01:29:30.400 You know?

01:29:30.640 And if they have it, make them go back inside the nursing home. 1.00

01:29:33.940 That should kill all the old people. 1.00

01:29:35.480 Absolutely bizarre.

01:29:35.940 It seems as if it was designed for the purpose.

01:29:38.800 That's how bad of a policy it is.

01:29:40.100 Back in 60 seconds.

01:30:56.420 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BEZK.

01:31:04.340 On the campaign front, looks like President Trump has outspent Joe Biden by, I don't know,

01:31:10.560 three to one or so during the COVID-19 thing.

01:31:13.680 He spent $21 million, I think, during this pandemic.

01:31:17.400 Biden has spent about $8 million.

01:31:20.000 But I haven't seen either one of their ads.

01:31:25.180 Have you seen many campaign ads?

01:31:27.140 Maybe they're just not running in Texas, but I haven't seen them on the national network

01:31:30.360 shows either.

01:31:31.180 I don't think they've run a lot of TV ads.

01:31:32.520 I think it's been mostly digital.

01:31:34.360 I don't think there's been a lot of those ads.

01:31:37.380 I mean, Biden technically has not wrapped up the nomination.

01:31:40.460 True.

01:31:40.660 A lot of his voters don't think he's going to wind up holding onto it with all of his controversies

01:31:44.340 going on right now.

01:31:45.060 I mean, when you go on TV and you're like, well, you ain't black if you don't vote for

01:31:48.980 me.

01:31:49.400 And that's not even fair.

01:31:50.500 He didn't even say, he didn't actually say that.

01:31:52.680 He said, you ain't black if you consider not voting for me.

01:31:56.100 It's actually worse than the way it's being presented.

01:31:59.820 Yeah, but because he's Joe Biden, I just Joe, be a Joe, don't worry about it.

01:32:04.600 That's basically what, can you imagine if this would have been Donald Trump?

01:32:09.620 They'd be tearing him limb from limb still today.

01:32:12.620 It would lead every single newscast on cable news and network news.

01:32:19.940 And they went right into, you know, reputation repair mode for Biden all weekend.

01:32:26.100 Here's a quick sampling of some of what they had to say in the mainstream media about Biden's

01:32:32.080 gaffe.

01:32:33.620 You know, I'm a little revved up, okay, because this is a distraction.

01:32:38.440 Vice President Biden spoke to his comments on the Breakfast Club.

01:32:41.900 He apologized, he clarified, he said he shouldn't have been so cavalier, but we need to move

01:32:46.700 on and talk about the issues and what's really at stake here.

01:32:48.900 The Vice President shouldn't have said it.

01:32:50.480 He apologized for it.

01:32:52.100 But I really think the gall and the nerve of President Trump.

01:32:58.560 I believe that Joe Biden was incorrect in saying the statement, you ain't black.

01:33:04.980 But I also believe that his apology was sufficient.

01:33:08.500 That apology was given swiftly.

01:33:10.300 He was saying, I'm sorry, I was being too cavalier.

01:33:12.880 I apologize.

01:33:13.980 To his credit, Joe Biden recognized within minutes that he had gotten carried away.

01:33:18.260 I think he has apologized and he should have apologized.

01:33:21.700 It was like, you know, one of those jokes that just falls flat.

01:33:24.560 It's almost the end of the interview.

01:33:25.860 And you need to understand the context.

01:33:27.860 I mean, Biden made an error.

01:33:30.720 He apologized for it.

01:33:32.400 Yeah, fine.

01:33:33.060 And just move on.

01:33:34.400 I mean, we can obsess on this, but this is, in the scheme of things, this is not going

01:33:39.920 to mount a diddly squat.

01:33:41.960 Ah, of course.

01:33:43.220 It usually doesn't, does it?

01:33:44.560 You know, I wonder why.

01:33:45.720 When you have the entire media making nonstop excuses for these comments, they don't seem

01:33:49.420 to turn into much.

01:33:50.420 Wow.

01:33:51.240 It's a really amazing thing that goes on.

01:33:53.660 Is it?

01:33:54.260 Yeah.

01:33:54.620 It's like when he said this, I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African-American

01:34:01.920 who is articulate and bright and clean and nice looking guy.

01:34:08.900 I mean, that's a storybook, man.

01:34:11.040 It just doesn't happen.

01:34:12.420 It's a storybook, man.

01:34:13.660 Yeah.

01:34:14.180 Yeah.

01:34:14.400 Remember, he kind of skated through that one, too.

01:34:17.160 Yep.

01:34:17.320 It's amazing when you're a Democrat, how much you can get away with racially. 0.62

01:34:21.620 Yeah.

01:34:21.920 Pretty much everything.

01:34:22.980 Everything.

01:34:23.360 You haven't, there's no real criticism of you.

01:34:27.100 I did a thing on Stu Does America on Friday asking the question, is Joe Biden a racist?

01:34:32.100 And we just went through, just went through, you know, what he's been saying over the years

01:34:38.840 and whether that would typically be considered racist.

01:34:44.980 And man, you know, there's a lot there, Pat.

01:34:48.900 There is a lot there when it comes to Joe Biden.

01:34:51.240 And when you talk about, you know, the storybook thing that you played there, you know, what

01:34:54.740 is the definition of storybook?

01:34:56.800 I mean, it's like, you know, it's like a fairy tale.

01:34:58.860 It's like, it's a children's story of magical beings.

01:35:02.740 That's what a clean, articulate, good-looking African-American is to Joe Biden.

01:35:09.120 And articulate is defined as speaking coherently.

01:35:12.120 So he thinks it's like a magical being that a black person could speak coherently. 1.00

01:35:17.140 And we didn't even like, it was like, no one even noticed it.

01:35:20.140 Not even a thing.

01:35:20.900 Not even a thing.

01:35:21.520 You know, the guy, we know about his comments about Indian-Americans.

01:35:26.300 In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India.

01:35:32.920 You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts.

01:35:37.940 You have a slight Indian accent.

01:35:40.480 I'm not joking.

01:35:41.940 And he's not joking.

01:35:43.120 He's being seriously racist.

01:35:44.560 I'm not joking about being racist.

01:35:45.940 I'm being seriously racist right here.

01:35:48.000 Yeah, thank you, Joe, for that clarification.

01:35:49.560 Thank you, because we believe you.

01:35:51.260 Yes.

01:35:51.600 We weren't doubting what you were saying.

01:35:56.040 You know, so he's not, I mean, he was, of course, we remember what he, the whole busing

01:36:00.820 thing with Kamala Harris during the debate.

01:36:03.320 He said he was, that was led into by the fact that he worked with James O. Eastland.

01:36:08.520 And he, it was, he never called me boy.

01:36:10.800 He always called me son.

01:36:12.140 Well, guess what?

01:36:12.800 At least there was some civility.

01:36:14.160 That was what started that controversy.

01:36:16.360 Well, civility.

01:36:17.340 Weird.

01:36:17.500 This is what Eastland was famous for.

01:36:20.380 Quotes like this.

01:36:21.360 I have no prejudice in my heart, but the white race is the superior race. 1.00

01:36:28.560 I'm just going to go out and say, I think you do have a little prejudice in your heart.

01:36:32.440 Then you have, he called, some of these are so amazing.

01:36:37.960 His campaign accused the South Carolina Black Caucus chairman of being purchased by Tom Steyer

01:36:45.980 during this past campaign, not long, not long ago.

01:36:48.700 He was accused of being xenophobic about talking about China.

01:36:53.640 Cory Booker beat him up about his racial stuff during the debates.

01:36:58.720 He then, he did the thing where he said, white children are different than poor children.

01:37:07.040 Remember that one?

01:37:08.080 Yes.

01:37:08.720 That was always a classic.

01:37:09.660 He said, kids of black parents weren't doing as well because their parents basically didn't

01:37:18.740 know how to parent.

01:37:19.700 You remember this one where he said, what we need is we need to have people from the government

01:37:22.500 come in and teach these people how to do their thing because we need to have the record

01:37:25.960 player on.

01:37:26.560 So they hear lots of words.

01:37:28.080 Do you remember that?

01:37:29.400 Which again made no sense, but that was Joe Biden.

01:37:32.360 Oh, man.

01:37:32.900 He had the corn pop story.

01:37:34.460 If you remember the corn pop story, that was always good.

01:37:39.200 He, how about this one?

01:37:41.140 The Trump campaign on Earth this, I missed this when this came out, found a story from

01:37:44.740 1987 where Joe Biden was, this is the quote, but campaigning in Alabama in April, Biden talked

01:37:51.120 of his sympathy for the South, bragged of an award he received from George Wallace in

01:37:57.260 1973 and said, quote, we Delawareans were on the South side in the Civil War.

01:38:02.760 Oops, oops, oopsie daisies.

01:38:06.620 Would that be a big deal if Donald Trump said that?

01:38:08.460 Kind of.

01:38:09.020 Yeah, kind of.

01:39:17.080 Now, Pat, would you say that someone who eliminated all men from contention as their

01:39:36.840 vice presidential candidate or Supreme Court justice would be a sexist? 0.98

01:39:40.320 Would that be something?

01:39:41.180 Because I think you would say yes if I said women. 0.60

01:39:43.240 Yes.

01:39:43.580 Would you say men?

01:39:44.980 If you'd eliminated one of the two sexes? 1.00

01:39:47.180 Then, yes.

01:39:49.600 Okay, okay.

01:39:50.020 That's what I thought.

01:39:50.340 I would say yes.

01:39:51.200 Now, think of our society and the way we throw the word racism around, especially from the

01:39:55.260 people that you just heard in that exact montage we just played.

01:39:58.940 The same people.

01:40:00.180 Here's what Joe Biden said about segregation.

01:40:03.520 He said, segregation was a matter of black pride.

01:40:06.360 And he said that integration would prevent black people from embracing their own identity.

01:40:14.380 Can't do it because, but that was, that's okay.

01:40:17.120 You should know that that's okay.

01:40:18.380 Wow.

01:40:18.860 A-okay.

01:40:19.540 He did, I will say, when he was having this struggle, he decided to ask the, quote, blacks 0.93

01:40:25.620 on my staff about whether he had something in him that was deep-seated and he didn't realize.

01:40:31.140 So, I mean, he's a very thoughtful person.

01:40:34.160 He asked all the blacks on his staff, Pat, you know, what's he supposed to do?

01:40:38.340 And he was very, very, very clear about how open to the other races he was when he bragged

01:40:46.760 to the Washington Post, quote, I still walk down the street in the black side of town.

01:40:52.600 No.

01:40:53.040 So, that's nice of him.

01:40:54.260 Yeah, it is.

01:40:54.720 He'll walk down the street among black people? 1.00

01:40:56.300 That risk?

01:40:57.320 That's a, it's almost, he's almost too progressive on this issue, Pat.

01:41:02.200 Almost too progressive.

01:41:03.780 These are all real quotes.

01:41:05.700 And we left out, I mean, there's tons.

01:41:07.060 We did this on Stude's America on Friday.

01:41:08.460 If you want to go back and check it out, you can watch it on YouTube.

01:41:11.080 Just search for Stu.

01:41:12.060 It'll be the first show there.

01:41:14.100 But, like, you go back and watch this, quote after quote after quote, video, audio.

01:41:18.960 He has a, you could say that the society has become too sensitive to racial allegations,

01:41:26.540 right?

01:41:27.080 I think that's a very legitimate point in many circumstances.

01:41:31.560 However, the people voting for Joe Biden, the people defending Joe Biden, are the people

01:41:36.140 who created that environment.

01:41:37.760 And if you apply that environment to Joe Biden, he should not only not be president.

01:41:42.640 He shouldn't have a job.

01:41:43.620 He shouldn't be allowed out of his home.

01:41:44.860 He has more racist, quote unquote, clips.

01:41:48.660 And I don't know.

01:41:49.540 Is Joe Biden racist?

01:41:50.520 I don't know.

01:41:51.120 I mean, I, you know, I tend to think that the left throws that around in really reckless

01:41:55.720 ways at times.

01:41:57.000 You have to look at, I do think you should look at the context of the moment.

01:42:00.240 You know, some of these things were said at times where other people were saying similar

01:42:03.780 things and blah, blah, blah.

01:42:05.180 But he's way over the line as to what they would accept from anybody else.

01:42:09.160 I'll tell you that.

01:42:09.940 There's no question.

01:42:10.760 Staying close to it.

01:42:11.420 Yeah.

01:42:11.580 And what he did on Friday with Charlemagne is inexplicable that they're accepting that.

01:42:20.660 It's nowhere near the line that they've established.

01:42:24.220 And yet all of them let him off the hook.

01:42:27.300 Yep.

01:42:28.120 We just played that for you that they just don't care.

01:42:30.960 It's completely fine.

01:43:48.400 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.

01:43:58.500 We were talking about Joe Biden a few minutes ago and the fact that he is quite possibly racist.

01:44:06.780 But it was nice to see over the weekend, you know, he keeps complaining about people not paying their taxes, and in particular, Amazon,

01:44:15.620 which everybody is whining about because the theory goes, Amazon paid zero taxes last year.

01:44:23.020 They didn't pay any taxes last year?

01:44:26.180 Seems difficult to pull off, even if you're Amazon.

01:44:28.440 It seems like everybody in the company should be arrested, or at least the company's CFO, maybe.

01:44:32.820 And that's certainly the message you're supposed to take from the comment.

01:44:36.600 Right.

01:44:37.140 They want you to think that.

01:44:38.100 But instead, Amazon has fought back a little bit, which is great, because, well, here is the comment from Biden.

01:44:47.520 I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

01:44:49.080 No company pulling in billions of dollars in profits should pay a lower tax rate than firefighters and teachers.

01:44:56.540 It's time for Amazon to pay its fair share.

01:44:59.020 Okay.

01:44:59.240 They're not paying a lower rate than firefighters and teachers.

01:45:04.160 I mean, that's ludicrous.

01:45:05.700 So here's what they paid in taxes last year.

01:45:10.520 More than $1 billion in federal income tax.

01:45:14.880 A billion dollars.

01:45:16.340 That seems like a lot of money.

01:45:20.220 More than $2.4 billion in other federal taxes.

01:45:23.140 So now you're at $3.4 billion payroll and customs duties.

01:45:26.900 More than $1.6 billion in state and local taxes.

01:45:31.740 So now you're at $5 billion.

01:45:33.240 And then you can add on another $9 billion in sales tax and use tax.

01:45:37.540 But that, I mean, I don't know that that qualifies, because everybody pays those.

01:45:41.780 Yeah.

01:45:42.060 So, but you got $5 billion in taxes that Amazon paid last year.

01:45:47.780 That's a far cry from zero.

01:45:49.220 It is a far cry from zero.

01:45:50.660 You're right.

01:45:51.060 And they pay the, by the way, you know, they pay the normal rate as assigned by the government.

01:45:56.680 Yes.

01:45:57.020 Which is why they're saying, okay, if you've got a problem with how much we paid, change

01:46:00.520 the tax code.

01:46:01.820 Yeah.

01:46:02.420 Because we paid all of our tax bills.

01:46:04.460 Everything we had to do, we paid.

01:46:05.880 That's what everybody does, by the way.

01:46:07.260 That's what you have to do.

01:46:08.780 You have no choice but to do it.

01:46:10.800 The interesting thing with Amazon is like they haven't been immense.

01:46:14.000 They're a huge company and they make lots of money.

01:46:15.740 But, you know, they came out of the internet world and were not profitable for a very long time.

01:46:19.700 So, at some point, I mean, they always had to pay payroll tax though.

01:46:23.260 That's got nothing to do with profit per se.

01:46:25.300 But like you go back and you say, okay, well, were they profitable?

01:46:28.840 You know, for a long time they weren't.

01:46:30.080 So, they probably weren't paying a lot of income taxes.

01:46:32.480 But that's the same for anybody.

01:46:34.540 Anybody who starts a company is going to face that same thing.

01:46:38.640 You know, especially when you're starting out and trying to grow, you're spending a lot more money to build new places and design new technology and all the things that Amazon has done.

01:46:50.480 You know, like they didn't pay tax, tons as much tax as you'd think, at least for a while.

01:46:55.280 They certainly paid something.

01:46:56.800 But they didn't pay for a while.

01:46:57.860 I mean, now they're at the position where they're paying a lot.

01:47:00.380 I mean, billions and billions of dollars.

01:47:02.140 Yes.

01:47:02.680 What are they supposed to do?

01:47:03.740 They follow the law.

01:47:05.020 I guess they're supposed to say, well, you know what?

01:47:07.040 We made a lot of money.

01:47:07.820 Let's pay more in taxes.

01:47:09.500 Let's pay more than we need to pay.

01:47:12.860 Just because, darn it, we love the government.

01:47:16.380 Let's fund them to a greater extent.

01:47:19.260 Nobody's going to do that.

01:47:20.740 Is Joe Biden doing that?

01:47:21.860 Even Bernie Sanders, when asked, said, no, I don't pay more than I'm asked to pay.

01:47:25.840 I pay the minimum amount possible.

01:47:27.920 I take, he takes, you know, Bernie was asked about this during the campaign.

01:47:31.360 He said he admitted to taking all of the deductions from Trump's tax cut.

01:47:36.560 Yeah.

01:47:37.380 And he didn't have to.

01:47:38.340 He didn't have to.

01:47:38.920 You could still pay more if you wanted to.

01:47:40.480 Absolutely.

01:47:40.960 You could always send, there's an address that says gifts to the federal government.

01:47:44.140 There's an address in Washington.

01:47:45.080 You can send checks there whenever you want.

01:47:46.740 It's strange.

01:47:47.300 You know how many people, we had this statistic.

01:47:50.080 I can't remember what year it was.

01:47:51.840 But it was about this time of year where everybody's complaining about how little rich people

01:47:57.040 pay in taxes and then they need to pay more.

01:47:59.060 And somebody looked into who actually did pay more.

01:48:03.760 How many people actually put money on that line and said, yeah, I've got a gift for the

01:48:08.180 federal government.

01:48:09.640 There was one person in the United States of America who did that.

01:48:13.860 One.

01:48:14.380 I forget who it was, but I don't think it was anybody that was famous necessarily.

01:48:18.780 But one person paid more than they needed.

01:48:21.520 I kind of want to do it just to get, you know, just to make it two.

01:48:25.240 It was me.

01:48:25.580 Yeah, it was, I was thinking about that would actually be a funny thing to do just to be

01:48:30.540 the one guy who did it.

01:48:32.080 And to be able to say that on the air all the time.

01:48:34.100 Yeah.

01:48:34.200 Yeah.

01:48:34.280 Well, I did that.

01:48:35.020 I paid more than I needed to.

01:48:36.320 And then when they say, you know what, you were just a hateful conservative who, who just

01:48:40.540 wants to cut money for the poor.

01:48:42.100 And I could say, actually, I donate money to the federal government on top of what I have

01:48:48.240 to pay in taxes.

01:48:48.420 It would be fun just to end that argument.

01:48:50.280 Yeah.

01:48:50.440 Just to have the point.

01:48:51.440 Yeah.

01:48:51.620 I mean, it's worth a dollar to send one dollar to the federal government just so you get

01:48:55.540 to say that every time.

01:48:56.420 That would be fun.

01:48:57.040 I might do that.

01:48:58.240 All right.

01:48:58.640 I mean, of course, what they're going to do is waste it, but still, still, they would

01:49:02.240 still be, it's only a dollar paid more than you had to.

01:49:04.680 Yeah.

01:49:05.580 But I like that.

01:49:06.520 Would you, what are taxes due?

01:49:07.680 Is it July?

01:49:09.300 Yeah.

01:49:09.960 Last I heard it was July 15th, July 15th.

01:49:12.440 And then there was talk that they might push that back to the, to after the election.

01:49:17.340 But I, I haven't heard any more talk about that.

01:49:20.520 That was a good idea.

01:49:21.200 You know what, what if you never made them do?

01:49:23.820 What do you think of that idea?

01:49:25.220 Let's toss that one out.

01:49:25.920 Let's toss that around a little bit.

01:49:27.520 What do you, what if there were never taxes due again?

01:49:31.640 If it's good for these few months, why wouldn't it be good later?

01:49:35.120 It's a strong question.

01:49:36.680 No one has an answer to that one, Pat.

01:49:37.880 I certainly don't.

01:49:38.960 I certainly don't.

01:49:40.200 By the way, looking at the Amazon profit numbers, they were still basically not profitable

01:49:44.300 as of 2018.

01:49:45.460 I mean, they were, what?

01:49:48.460 Yeah.

01:49:48.640 Their, their, their profit was basically nothing until really the fourth quarter of 2017, probably

01:49:57.420 to be fair, is they, they made $2 billion in profit in that quarter.

01:50:01.640 But before that, they, you know, they were spending so much.

01:50:04.700 Wow.

01:50:04.860 That's kind of hard to believe.

01:50:06.100 It is.

01:50:06.620 It was that long.

01:50:07.380 I know.

01:50:07.840 All the way to 2000, almost 18.

01:50:09.600 That seems like a poorly run company when you, but I mean, look at that.

01:50:13.220 They own the world pretty much.

01:50:15.040 Right.

01:50:15.300 Their sales in like, for example, in 2000, uh, 2014 was their quarter four.

01:50:21.440 They've made $60 billion in sales, but only $1 billion in profit.

01:50:25.760 Um, wow.

01:50:26.720 Now, $60 billion in sales is a lot.

01:50:29.740 Yeah.

01:50:30.140 However, they were basically breaking even from the start of their company up until 2018.

01:50:36.520 I mean, they weren't making a lot of profit and they were able to get some money through,

01:50:39.420 uh, you know, everyone has, everyone works the system to their best of their ability.

01:50:43.820 And if you're thinking to yourself, well, I can either pay taxes, I can pay 30% to the

01:50:48.960 government right now, or I can take that 30%, uh, and invest it into a new factory and increase

01:50:55.380 my sales.

01:50:56.140 And then I'm not paying taxes on that money.

01:50:58.760 Well, it makes sense to grow.

01:51:00.080 No, it's the reason why it exists is to incentivize companies like Amazon to not just sit on a

01:51:05.540 bunch of cash, instead reinvest it into communities and growing their business. 0.52

01:51:09.360 You're, you're incentivizing companies to say, I'd rather spend it on something that

01:51:13.300 will benefit me than just hand it to the government.

01:51:15.160 So it like, that's why the rules are set up that way so that companies will spend their

01:51:20.160 money on trying on research and development and growth and, and these other things to

01:51:23.900 try to grow the economy.

01:51:24.880 We're trying to incentivize growth of the economy.

01:51:27.700 Everybody who's a business owner understands that.

01:51:30.260 And you know who else understands it?

01:51:31.660 Every single person outside of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who makes the criticism.

01:51:36.620 Obviously AOC doesn't understand anything that she says.

01:51:38.740 So she would not qualify for this category, but everybody else who makes this comment understands

01:51:43.140 why these rules are set up this way.

01:51:45.160 They're set up this way to incentivize businesses, to hire people, to grow, to grow, build new

01:51:50.820 companies that construction workers are going to go work on, to, to, to, to make the economy

01:51:55.980 flow better and better every day.

01:51:58.020 Now, obviously AOC and her economics degree, you're not going to grasp that, but everybody

01:52:02.200 else who's saying is just lying.

01:52:03.660 No.

01:52:03.800 And you criticize a company that you got to believe they use all the time.

01:52:09.760 Even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has to use Amazon a lot. 1.00

01:52:13.880 Oh, we all do.

01:52:15.720 I mean, especially through this, this quarantine.

01:52:18.040 Oh man.

01:52:18.620 They made this big deal about, you know, is Jeff Bezos going to be the first trillionaire?

01:52:23.600 Did you follow this at all?

01:52:24.320 Yeah.

01:52:24.440 In 2026, they think he'll be a trillionaire.

01:52:26.600 Now, if you look at the study, first of all, all they're doing is just projecting his annual

01:52:31.260 growth over the amount of money he has for six years.

01:52:34.080 Like as if it's always constant, right?

01:52:35.760 Like that's not how this works at all.

01:52:37.200 Right.

01:52:37.460 But he has like 180 billion or something, right?

01:52:40.360 It's nowhere near a trillionaire at this point.

01:52:42.620 But stepping back from that, can you imagine going through this quarantine without Amazon?

01:52:48.120 No.

01:52:48.480 Just think, if we just took that out of our society right now.

01:52:50.800 Uh-huh.

01:52:51.060 Going through, everything got delivered.

01:52:53.400 You could basically rely on it on time, especially if it was an essential thing.

01:52:58.320 It was there very, very much on time.

01:53:02.380 It was nonstop boxes being delivered to your door so you didn't have to go out.

01:53:07.160 You were able to stay home and not go buy those things.

01:53:09.520 That's why I have no quarrel with Amazon at all.

01:53:12.880 He should be the first trillionaire, honestly.

01:53:14.400 He should be worth 140 or 180 billion dollars or whatever he's worth because he came up

01:53:21.160 with a company that we can't even imagine life without now.

01:53:24.740 That's how, and he did it from his garage.

01:53:27.900 He and his wife started that business in their garage, then moved across the country, based

01:53:33.040 it in the West, and built it into this, something that we can't imagine being without.

01:53:38.840 I mean, I remember when Amazon first started being really prevalent, and I would think,

01:53:46.140 who's going to buy stuff online?

01:53:48.280 Nobody's going to do that.

01:53:49.440 Remember, it was just a bookstore.

01:53:50.520 Sight unseen initially.

01:53:51.480 Yeah.

01:53:51.820 Yes.

01:53:52.300 It was just a bookstore.

01:53:53.000 Just books.

01:53:53.680 It was like a place you go buy books.

01:53:55.300 And it's turned into basically everything that you need for every situation.

01:53:59.520 Yep.

01:54:00.060 And by the way, people are like, oh, well, Amazon is taking money away from smaller companies.

01:54:05.200 And some of that is a fair question to ask society, how much of that do you want to happen?

01:54:12.260 But you have to remember, too, it's also almost 100% of the sales of thousands and thousands

01:54:17.020 of companies through their third-party selling.

01:54:20.080 And companies go, all these companies that you're buying stuff on Amazon are all companies

01:54:25.260 making them somewhere, right?

01:54:27.000 Like they are, Bob's company makes something, puts it on Amazon to sell, and you buy it through

01:54:32.680 Amazon, like you can make an argument that's an evil, you know, Amazon situation, but it's

01:54:37.080 helping that company.

01:54:38.360 Yeah.

01:54:38.540 You know, like companies like Etsy and eBay, these big brand names are helping small business

01:54:43.520 owners, too, all around the world.

01:54:45.560 You know, it's just easy.

01:54:47.360 It's a typical criticism of capitalism, right?

01:54:51.060 Where the, when you get, you pick the big guy who's the richest guy, used to be Gates.

01:54:55.040 Now he's not the richest guy anymore.

01:54:56.300 Now it's Bezos.

01:54:57.360 And you pick the Bezos because he's, you know, I don't agree with Bezos, his politics or anything

01:55:01.920 like that, but the bottom line is he's built an amazing company, you're right, from absolutely

01:55:07.240 nothing, and he's turned it into something that is really tough to, it's tough to understand

01:55:13.160 where we'd be without it, honestly.

01:55:14.980 It really is.

01:55:15.820 Yeah, it is.

01:55:16.180 I mean, obviously other companies sell stuff online, we'd figure it out, but I mean, this

01:55:20.180 has been an amazing achievement.

01:55:21.680 I mean, I don't know how we deal without Amazon Prime Video, let alone the entire company.

01:55:26.580 I know.

01:55:27.340 And all they do is get bashed.

01:55:28.580 You know, AOC comes out and says, oh, we don't want your factory in our state.

01:55:32.160 Like, okay, well, they'll go somewhere else and bring all those jobs somewhere else.

01:55:36.020 Good job, AOC.

01:55:37.140 25,000 of them.

01:55:38.840 888-727-BECK.

01:55:41.760 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:55:43.540 Glenn Beck.

01:55:44.360 Sebastian Gorka here for Relief Factor, the 100% drug-free supplement for people struggling

01:56:00.220 with back or neck pain, hip, shoulder, or knee pain.

01:56:03.240 And I need you to know, I have never endorsed a pain reliever before, but because I had struggled

01:56:08.840 for years with my lower back pain, I just had to give Relief Factor a try.

01:56:13.220 And I'm here to tell you, I am now pain-free.

01:56:16.020 It's simply wonderful.

01:56:17.780 So when the father and son owners of Relief Factor, Pete and Seth Talbot, asked me, I definitely

01:56:22.340 decided to make an exception because there are simply too many people struggling with pain

01:56:27.240 from aging, exercise, or just everyday living that need to know about the three-week quick

01:56:32.340 start discounted to only $19.95.

01:56:35.100 Relief Factor is four key ingredients to help your own body deal with inflammation.

01:56:39.620 And about 70% of people who order the three-week quick start go on to order more.

01:56:44.220 Let's see if we can get you out of pain too.

01:56:46.800 Go to relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, or call 800-500-8384.

01:57:00.180 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program this week, 888-727-BECK.

01:57:05.100 We're just kind of continuing to marvel at Amazon and what they've done during the break.

01:57:11.560 Apparently, Stu, you're of the belief that Amazon Cloud is their biggest money-making enterprise?

01:57:18.820 Yeah, Amazon Web Services.

01:57:20.480 So it's not the biggest part of their revenue.

01:57:23.040 I think it's the biggest, most profitable part of the company.

01:57:26.380 But listen to these.

01:57:27.220 These are growth numbers for a quarter.

01:57:29.060 43%, this is 2017, 43% in Amazon Web Services growth.

01:57:34.720 Then 42%, 42, 45, 49, 49, 48, 45, 41, 37, 35, 34 per quarter we're talking about.

01:57:44.700 Wow.

01:57:44.760 And that's amazing.

01:57:45.520 I mean, and you know, one of the things that's amazing about, you look back at the history of

01:57:50.440 capitalism, how much failure is a part of the model where, you know, I was reading this when

01:57:58.800 I was reading Matt Ridley's book, it's called How Innovation Works.

01:58:01.600 It's out now.

01:58:02.220 It's really good.

01:58:03.160 But he's talking about this and he's talking about how the trial and error process is how

01:58:07.360 all these things happen.

01:58:08.440 All these great innovations happen in our world.

01:58:10.320 And it hit me for the first time that at no point in the phrase does it say you succeed.

01:58:16.460 It's just trying something and failing, like trial and error, trial and error, trial and

01:58:20.880 error.

01:58:21.140 At some point, I hope you get to success in theory.

01:58:24.060 But with Amazon, we look at Amazon and say, we'd say Amazon's the gold standard of web companies,

01:58:28.920 right?

01:58:29.120 Like you have Amazon, even though they started as a book company and have changed a million

01:58:32.420 times, you'd say, if you were to say like, what's the success story of Amazon, you'd

01:58:37.940 say, or of the web, you'd say Amazon probably.

01:58:40.320 If I were to say, what's the failure?

01:58:42.980 What's that when you think of the cataclysmic frontline failure of a website from the dot

01:58:48.680 com bust?

01:58:49.920 Pets.com.

01:58:50.620 Pets.com is the exact same one I came up with.

01:58:52.680 Did you know Amazon invested in pets.com?

01:58:55.940 No.

01:58:56.440 They were actually a giant investor.

01:58:58.780 They failed so many times.

01:59:01.240 They thought pets.com was a good idea.

01:59:03.920 And here they are as the ultimate sign of success.

01:59:07.800 It's crazy how that happens.

01:59:09.400 And, you know, I think that's one of my pieces of optimism when it comes to a treatment or

01:59:15.980 a vaccine or something with COVID-19.

01:59:18.760 When we have that Manhattan Project sort of ideal, when everyone in the world and everyone

01:59:23.580 in this country is looking at trying to solve the same problem at the same time, you saw

01:59:27.760 what happened when we really ramped testing up.

01:59:29.540 When the CDC wasn't in the way, we were able to like have private labs go after it.

01:59:33.680 We were able to jack that up in huge ways.

01:59:35.840 And that's only increasing.

01:59:37.080 Antibody tests have done a lot of the same thing.

01:59:39.380 When we're all focused on something like this and capitalism has a role, you see it go crazy.

01:59:45.120 You know?

01:59:45.500 And I think that's the part of me that's optimistic.

01:59:47.480 It's just a tough process.

01:59:48.540 Some of it, you can't shorten the time frame.

01:59:50.120 But like you said, when you have some of the biggest moneymakers in the world combined

01:59:53.580 with some of the best minds in the world and scientists and the world of medicine, you

01:59:59.280 can't help but think, well, yeah, they're going to come up with something soon.

02:00:02.200 Yeah.

02:00:02.880 They've got to.

02:00:03.740 It does feel that way.

02:00:04.740 And then there's others who think, well, Bill Gates is involved.

02:00:07.640 So obviously there's, he's trying to kill people.

02:00:10.620 Well, you get that.

02:00:11.860 You do have that.

02:00:13.020 You do have a lot of that.

02:00:13.860 I will say though, it's like, I thought, I know not everybody thinks of it this way, but

02:00:17.100 what an incredible comment on God, right?

02:00:19.620 Like here is every smart person in the world is trying to solve this problem.

02:00:24.100 And what does our immune system do?

02:00:25.800 If you get it, it just creates antibodies and then you don't get it anymore.

02:00:28.320 Like it just immediately comes up with this thing to fight it.

02:00:30.640 And there's like millions of scientists trying to figure out how can we do that exact same

02:00:34.040 thing that the body already does?

02:00:35.460 Pretty amazing.

02:00:36.020 It is pretty amazing.

02:00:37.640 But I, you know, you have optimism.

02:00:40.260 It's just, you know, it's, it could be an ugly road.

02:00:43.000 It's already been an ugly road.

02:00:44.140 I mean, 38 million people are unemployed.

02:00:45.760 It's been an ugly road.

02:00:46.640 I just hope we can turn this around fast.

02:00:48.960 All right.

02:00:49.500 Much more tomorrow.

02:00:50.400 We'll see you then.
