The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ 3⧸17⧸21

00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. It's Pat and Stew in for Glenn, who's out with a back issue.

00:00:04.300 He should be back tomorrow, I'm told. We hope so.

00:00:07.620 But I will say, today was a fun show.

00:00:09.760 We talked about Gavin Newsom and the recall effort against him.

00:00:14.160 It's going to be fun to watch that thing happen,

00:00:16.120 because Gavin Newsom is among the most intolerable people in America,

00:00:19.560 so it's going to be a tough one to watch.

00:00:22.380 We actually came up with a new t-shirt and mug that just says,

00:00:26.080 Anyone else for governor?

00:00:27.840 It looks like a normal campaign picture.

00:00:30.960 I think you can get it at studosmerch.com, as well as all sorts of Cuomo bashing items.

00:00:36.300 We also did talk a little bit about Andrew Cuomo.

00:00:38.320 Joe Biden has come out and said if he thinks Cuomo should resign, we get into that.

00:00:43.340 Also, the border crisis. Joe Biden's border crisis.

00:00:47.540 This is something the media kind of wants to stay away from,

00:00:50.440 but I don't think we should let them avoid it.

00:00:53.180 We're going to cover that today.

00:01:16.800 It really makes a difference to us, and we really appreciate it.

00:01:18.960 Plus, it helps our self-esteem.

00:01:20.340 We're not particularly good-looking people, and we need things like this to keep our emotions in the right place.

00:01:26.500 So, check it out there.

00:01:28.400 And here's the podcast.

00:01:29.380 All right, some statistics that may or may not surprise you,

00:01:49.220 but still has a list of the states that are doing the best right now with COVID,

00:01:55.040 and also states that are doing the worst.

00:01:58.720 And I would say this is a look at the entire year, right?

00:02:01.360 So, it's not just where they are right at this moment.

00:02:03.320 It's not right now.

00:02:03.560 How did they do over the past year?

00:02:05.260 Yeah.

00:02:05.800 And so, we went through and did a formula there.

00:02:09.000 Let me give you some of the factors that went into this.

00:02:11.360 One, obviously, how well did you avoid people dying in your state?

00:02:16.500 You know what I mean?

00:02:17.040 Like, that's obviously a big factor.

00:02:20.660 But number two, I mean, because all we hear from the news media is trying to compare death totals and everything else.

00:02:26.360 We also looked at the economy.

00:02:27.980 How well were you able to protect the economy through this?

00:02:31.980 Okay.

00:02:32.100 It was a really difficult thing for states to do.

00:02:34.320 Some states did a lot better than others.

00:02:36.600 We also looked at what is from, there's an Oxford University of Oxford astringency index,

00:02:42.920 which is basically a measure of how hard the government cracked down.

00:02:47.660 How long did they put the people into relative shutdown levels, right?

00:02:52.900 Did they have a light touch?

00:02:53.920 Did they have a heavy touch when it comes to that?

00:02:57.460 And I think that's somewhat controversial in that, like, people would say,

00:03:00.560 well, what does that matter?

00:03:01.540 You know, I think, like, if you have two states that had the same results with the economy and deaths, right,

00:03:06.760 but one gave you complete freedom, the other one locked you down in individual plastic bubbles.

00:03:13.220 That matters.

00:03:13.660 Yeah, that matters, right?

00:03:14.640 I mean, this is the United States of America here.

00:03:17.520 So, I use that as a factor.

00:03:19.300 Those are the three biggest factors.

00:03:21.840 However, there's also, you know, we factored in the age of the population.

00:03:25.920 So, a state that has an older population should get a break in comparing the death rate, you know, 0.95

00:03:30.960 to a state that has a younger population.

00:03:33.360 Same thing with density.

00:03:35.340 If you have a state with a population density, that's high.

00:03:38.100 We looked at vaccine rollout, all sorts of different things,

00:03:42.120 and kind of came up with a final score, 0 to 100, for all 50 states.

00:03:47.660 So, let me give you some of the bottom states.

00:03:50.300 I'll start seventh from the bottom for a reason, because it was California.

00:03:54.860 Score of 35.7 out of 100.

00:03:56.960 They actually didn't do terribly as far as the rate of COVID, but as we point out,

00:04:03.900 they have a relatively young population in California.

00:04:09.320 So, that does make a difference as far as the death rate, but we factored that in.

00:04:12.500 They finished seventh from the bottom.

00:04:14.540 Sixth from the bottom was Massachusetts, 28.1 out of 100.

00:04:19.880 Fifth from the bottom, Connecticut, our old home state, Pat.

00:04:23.700 Now, again, can you blame some of its neighbors for this?

00:04:27.680 I think you could.

00:04:28.440 Yes.

00:04:28.620 But Connecticut also didn't do all that well.

00:04:31.760 Rhode Island is fourth from the bottom, 25.2 is the score out of 100.

00:04:38.960 Third from the bottom, red state, Louisiana, 20.6 out of 100.

00:04:45.360 Now, you can probably fairly note that part of the reason Louisiana had a really bad outbreak of COVID

00:04:52.940 was Mardi Gras, which happened at the end of February last year and, of course,

00:04:59.300 was held in a very blue area of Louisiana, not a very red area of Louisiana.

00:05:05.960 But, you know, as long as you have New Orleans in your state, you're responsible for it.

00:05:09.880 Louisiana, I apologize for that.

00:05:11.500 But, you know, I didn't put it in your state.

00:05:13.440 That was your thing.

00:05:14.240 So, you're responsible for the outbreak in New Orleans.

00:05:18.960 So, they came out third to worst, 20.6 out of 100.

00:05:22.980 Then there's quite a drop off.

00:05:25.580 From third to worst at 20.6 to second to worst, New Mexico, 7.9 out of 100.

00:05:33.640 Wow.

00:05:34.200 So, from 20.6 to 7.9, people don't realize that New Mexico had the hardest lockdown in

00:05:41.320 the nation, harder than any other state, California, New York, nobody, locked down further, harder

00:05:46.280 than New Mexico.

00:05:46.720 I didn't know that.

00:05:47.380 Yeah.

00:05:48.020 Their economy was a disaster as well, and they didn't even get good results as far as COVID.

00:05:53.820 I mean, really, they didn't do anything well throughout this entire process.

00:05:58.120 So, New Mexico finishes second to last, and in dead last place, without anyone's surprise,

00:06:06.000 of course, is New York, with a score of 6.8 out of 100.

00:06:10.700 They had the second strongest lockdown in the country.

00:06:14.360 Despite that, had the second worst COVID numbers, only to New Jersey, which is completely New 1.00

00:06:20.860 York's fault anyway.

00:06:22.600 And also, their economy was a disaster.

00:06:24.480 Despite the fact they have a giant industry there that could work from home, they still

00:06:29.720 couldn't protect the economy at all.

00:06:31.580 So, they finish in dead last place.

00:06:36.200 Of course, Andrew Cuomo is awful.com should be noted at this time.

00:06:40.660 Should we give you some of the top, top, top picks?

00:06:44.080 Yeah.

00:06:44.400 Who did the best?

00:06:45.020 Let's see.

00:06:45.720 All right.

00:06:46.260 Well, who did the best?

00:06:47.040 And we're starting at...

00:06:48.300 Let me give you 10.

00:06:49.620 All right.

00:06:49.980 Alaska, number 10.

00:06:51.460 Score of 66.7.

00:06:52.800 And again, we take into account population density.

00:06:56.960 But again, there are some...

00:06:58.840 There's some asterisks in this.

00:07:00.160 Like Hawaii, what do you do with...

00:07:02.100 You know, Hawaii obviously is going to have a really good result on COVID because they're

00:07:05.920 an island, but also a really bad result on the economy because they're dependent on flights.

00:07:11.540 Yeah.

00:07:11.700 So, it's a tough one to measure.

00:07:13.340 But Alaska came in 10th.

00:07:14.560 South Dakota in 9th.

00:07:16.260 And I think a lot of people would think South Dakota would do really well on this.

00:07:19.300 They were number two on the stringency index.

00:07:23.220 So, it's the second least amount of time in lockdown.

00:07:27.300 But they really...

00:07:29.000 They're 44th as far as COVID per million.

00:07:31.680 So, they...

00:07:32.880 That hurt them.

00:07:33.760 Like, they had a very open attitude towards this, which I respect and I like Christy Dome

00:07:39.560 quite a bit.

00:07:40.460 But, look, they just had a really rough battle with that when it comes to their rates.

00:07:49.120 8th place, Nebraska, 67.8 out of 100.

00:07:53.540 Then, Virginia actually did pretty well. 1.00

00:07:57.260 In 7th place, 68.9.

00:07:59.120 Iowa in 6th place, 69.9 out of 100.

00:08:03.680 Iowa, another one that never...

00:08:05.780 They had that initial shutdown period and then were pretty open after that and had, you

00:08:10.220 know, relatively good results.

00:08:12.000 Certainly good economic results.

00:08:14.160 Number 6...

00:08:15.580 Number 5, Oregon.

00:08:18.360 That's a surprise.

00:08:19.240 That one is a surprise to me.

00:08:20.600 And I...

00:08:20.940 So, I was thinking about this because the score is 70.1 out of 100 for Oregon.

00:08:25.080 Again, best COVID results by state for the entire year.

00:08:29.700 They had a...

00:08:30.580 You know, they had very low rates of COVID.

00:08:33.400 But they'd locked down.

00:08:34.240 I mean, they were middle of the pack when it comes down to how far they...

00:08:36.800 How long they locked down.

00:08:38.660 My theories on this was, one, Portland in particular was burning down most of the year.

00:08:46.300 So, probably people were terrified to go outdoors at all and see anyone.

00:08:50.780 Plus, you also have a...

00:08:53.080 And their economy did relatively well compared to some of these other more lockdown type states.

00:08:58.120 And I think you might have a population that was more able to work from home.

00:09:01.820 You know, the industries there are friendlier to being able to work at home.

00:09:05.680 So, there wasn't as much of a need for that.

00:09:08.120 But that's where that finished.

00:09:09.920 Number...

00:09:10.640 Let's see.

00:09:11.320 Number 4, Idaho.

00:09:15.960 74.1 score out of 100.

00:09:18.280 Idaho did pretty much everything pretty well.

00:09:20.180 Every one of their categories was pretty good.

00:09:22.780 Not at the top of the list, but in the top third on pretty much every single thing.

00:09:26.040 A couple of surprises here towards the top here.

00:09:28.520 Number 3, and there's an asterisk on this one a little bit too.

00:09:31.580 Number 3 was Wisconsin.

00:09:33.660 And I would think, Wisconsin?

00:09:35.680 How the heck?

00:09:37.280 Really?

00:09:38.020 They have a Democratic governor.

00:09:39.540 Mm-hmm.

00:09:39.900 Yet, they're...

00:09:40.740 They ranked on this, you know...

00:09:42.640 How long did they lock down the stringency index?

00:09:45.300 They were only 5th.

00:09:46.420 They were somehow 5th.

00:09:47.640 Now, I looked into that a little bit more thinking, how the hell did Wisconsin finish 0.87

00:09:53.240 5th in this measure?

00:09:54.180 Because it's really the strongest thing that they had going for them in this, in the little

00:09:57.920 formula here.

00:09:59.040 And the reason was, the courts kept overturning all the things the Democratic governor wanted

00:10:04.140 to do.

00:10:04.940 So, they never...

00:10:05.700 They were on and off again a little bit, but the courts were like, no, you can't do 0.99

00:10:10.600 any of this crap. 0.90

00:10:11.220 So, they didn't go into lockdown as much as a lot of other blue states did, which is kind 0.98

00:10:16.140 of an interesting factor.

00:10:17.340 Score of 83.9 out of 100.

00:10:20.060 Number 2, New Hampshire.

00:10:22.620 84.9 out of 100.

00:10:23.880 Wouldn't have guessed that one either.

00:10:25.000 Yeah, you know, I wouldn't have either.

00:10:26.260 Although, you got live free or die, right?

00:10:28.200 Yeah.

00:10:28.360 They were actually...

00:10:28.920 They did not lock down all that hard.

00:10:31.300 They had pretty good results from COVID, and their economy was relatively well protected.

00:10:35.540 They are also an older population, which helps them in this measure.

00:10:42.400 I mean, considering they were eighth overall in death rate and had the second oldest population

00:10:47.440 in the country, it's pretty impressive that that stuck together.

00:10:51.140 And I don't know, it kind of makes sense in some ways.

00:10:53.800 You know, it's a state that has a motto where you're supposed to be taking responsibility

00:10:57.820 for your own actions, and maybe that helped play in.

00:11:01.360 Number 1, though.

00:11:02.240 Are you ready?

00:11:03.240 Score of 90.1.

00:11:04.580 Out of 100.

00:11:06.220 I am.

00:11:07.000 90.1 out of 100, the number one score.

00:11:10.380 Mm-hmm.

00:11:10.860 In the entire union.

00:11:11.900 This was a surprise to me.

00:11:13.060 I will say, I didn't see this one coming.

00:11:16.180 Number 1.

00:11:17.780 The state of...

00:11:19.020 Does this end, or...?

00:11:22.160 Confusion?

00:11:22.800 The state of confusion?

00:11:23.900 No.

00:11:24.440 Okay, the state of...

00:11:25.760 Utah!

00:11:26.340 Utah!

00:11:27.240 That is what I was going to guess.

00:11:28.920 Really?

00:11:29.280 Yeah.

00:11:30.060 Yeah.

00:11:30.560 That's what I was going to guess.

00:11:31.720 That's pretty interesting to me.

00:11:32.860 I would not have guessed it.

00:11:34.300 Really?

00:11:34.580 Just because, I don't know.

00:11:36.360 I mean, I...

00:11:37.040 It didn't get any press.

00:11:39.100 Mm-hmm.

00:11:39.260 You know, like people talk...

00:11:40.380 No, it really didn't.

00:11:40.460 The right has talked about Texas.

00:11:41.960 They've talked about Florida.

00:11:42.800 They've talked about Arizona.

00:11:43.940 South Dakota.

00:11:43.960 They've talked about South Dakota.

00:11:45.020 They've talked about a lot of different states.

00:11:47.820 Georgia got press at the beginning quite a bit.

00:11:50.520 Uh-huh.

00:11:50.840 Really, I haven't heard much conversation about Utah, but Utah kind of sat there and did incredibly

00:11:57.080 well in every measure here.

00:12:00.020 Number three, as far as how long were they in lockdown?

00:12:04.120 Third least amount of time.

00:12:05.880 So, they were third, say, on the Freedom Index, right?

00:12:09.100 Okay.

00:12:09.940 Economy, they finished seventh in the entire country.

00:12:13.360 Mm-hmm.

00:12:13.620 And their COVID results, they finished sixth.

00:12:17.220 Wow.

00:12:17.720 So, really...

00:12:18.420 Now, I will say they are the youngest state in the union, which I did not know either until

00:12:22.680 doing this research.

00:12:23.920 Youngest state in the union.

00:12:25.280 However, they get punished in this measure for that.

00:12:28.900 Like, if you're a young state, you lose points on the formula because, you know, you shouldn't...

00:12:35.120 You know, an older state has a tougher time with something like this.

00:12:38.320 Yeah.

00:12:38.520 So, despite the fact that they got punished for that, still finished number one in the

00:12:42.800 union with a score of 90.1.

00:12:44.860 Wow.

00:12:45.180 And really has had no press and no credit and no love.

00:12:50.100 I mean, I haven't heard anybody saying, wow, you know who's doing a good job is Utah.

00:12:53.560 And this comes back to something I, you know, I think has proved since the beginning of

00:12:57.060 this to be really important.

00:12:58.200 And we've talked so much about what the government does.

00:13:01.380 Am I going to sit here and say that everything that Utah did from the government level was

00:13:04.380 right?

00:13:04.640 I doubt it.

00:13:05.220 I mean, I don't know all the details.

00:13:06.440 I don't live in Utah.

00:13:07.440 But I guarantee if we open up the phone lines, we get lots of people complaining about what

00:13:10.900 the government was saying or doing in Utah, as we would from every state.

00:13:14.940 But, like, there's something to do with this coming back to, instead of the government,

00:13:18.260 the people.

00:13:19.280 You know, this is the United States of America.

00:13:21.000 We lead the government.

00:13:21.920 The government doesn't lead us.

00:13:24.080 That's not the way this works.

00:13:25.400 And, you know, if you look at the type of population you'd want to potentially have

00:13:30.560 in the form, in the time of a pandemic, I got to say, you might draft Mormons number 1.00

00:13:36.600 one.

00:13:37.120 You might.

00:13:38.420 First of all, they're pretty healthy.

00:13:40.340 Second of all, as you point out, pretty young.

00:13:42.300 Yeah.

00:13:42.500 I would say they do a good job following rules.

00:13:47.080 Would you say that's an accurate statement?

00:13:48.460 I would say that's pretty accurate.

00:13:49.780 Yeah.

00:13:49.880 Like, they're not like the type of people who are, like, you know, they're not like people

00:13:54.520 who are going to go out and, like, you know, burn down government buildings because they

00:13:58.120 don't like a policy.

00:13:59.300 They're going to argue with it.

00:14:00.360 They're going to say what they believe.

00:14:01.600 But they're not going to do that.

00:14:03.660 They're not activists.

00:14:04.800 Yeah.

00:14:05.000 They're not like, yeah.

00:14:05.600 And I think that's, you know, I mean that in a good way in this particular measure specifically.

00:14:11.300 And then also, there are people who tend to do a lot of thinking about others, right? 0.83

00:14:18.800 Like, they're much, I would say, less focused on, like, well, damn it, it's my right than, 0.88

00:14:25.620 you know what? 0.91

00:14:26.120 Like, I don't like this, but I don't want to make anyone else sick.

00:14:29.020 I want to make sure that, like, I think there's a very selfless aspect of that.

00:14:35.600 That culture that makes a state like Utah perform really well.

00:14:40.260 And I will note, too, number four was Idaho.

00:14:42.980 Yes.

00:14:43.340 Also quite Mormon.

00:14:44.080 Also quite Mormon.

00:14:45.380 Mm-hmm.

00:14:46.360 And I, you know, it's an interesting thing.

00:14:49.340 And I think that it comes down to that a little bit more than cable news and even talk shows

00:14:56.560 and politicians have talked about.

00:14:58.100 You just mentioned this with the masks.

00:15:00.020 The government policy has been such a factor.

00:15:02.460 But really, I mean, you look at the states with no mask mandates and compare them to

00:15:08.520 the ones with mask mandates.

00:15:09.660 There's about a 10% to 12% difference of mask usage.

00:15:13.100 It's really not that different.

00:15:14.840 Yeah.

00:15:15.060 It really doesn't make all that much difference.

00:15:16.960 It's really about what the people wind up doing.

00:15:18.860 We lead this government.

00:15:20.180 They don't lead us.

00:15:21.660 So would this be a good time to send the couple of guys in white shirts and bicycles

00:15:24.880 over to your house?

00:15:25.620 Seems like a pretty good time, maybe, for that.

00:15:32.680 I'll make the call.

00:15:33.400 I'll make the call while you do the commercial.

00:15:34.900 I have COVID.

00:15:36.080 They can't come on.

00:15:36.620 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:46.400 All right.

00:15:46.980 So in Israel, apparently people are pretty open to getting the vaccine.

00:15:52.180 I have kind of a different impression of many Americans because I hear from a lot who just

00:15:58.120 have no intention of ever being vaccinated.

00:16:01.980 Yeah.

00:16:02.060 The polling has been pretty consistent.

00:16:04.640 It's improved as far as people wanting to take the vaccine, which is what you would expect,

00:16:09.520 right?

00:16:10.020 It's been basically the entire time broken down like this.

00:16:13.160 About 40% of people are like, absolutely give me the vaccine.

00:16:16.840 Like, give it to me.

00:16:17.500 I'm ready for it.

00:16:18.260 Day one.

00:16:19.100 I'm rushing down. 0.83

00:16:20.080 Throw some needles at me.

00:16:21.240 Whatever sticks in.

00:16:22.000 I'll take that one.

00:16:23.180 They're fine.

00:16:23.880 About 30% of people say basically, I'm open to it, but I want to kind of see if everyone

00:16:31.340 starts dropping dead first.

00:16:32.840 You know, like, can you have, can I not be first in line?

00:16:35.700 Let me just see if people, these needles go in people's arms and they just spontaneously

00:16:39.360 combust.

00:16:40.160 If that doesn't happen, all right, I'll go check it out.

00:16:43.820 Then there's about 20% of the population who says, I don't want to get it, but like if

00:16:48.660 I have to, like if work tells me I need to do it or I can't get into any, I can't

00:16:55.360 take any flights because I can't get a vaccine.

00:16:57.640 All right, I'll, whatever, I'll do it.

00:16:59.080 And then there's about 10% of the population that is like signed up ideologically against,

00:17:03.040 you know, vaccines in general or this particular vaccine for some reason.

00:17:07.700 So the polling has been pretty consistent in that general format.

00:17:11.980 Some of the people who have, were in that 30% group that say, look, I'm open to getting

00:17:19.600 it, but I'm a little worried.

00:17:22.020 Some of those people have now moved into the, I'm going to get the vaccine group.

00:17:26.100 So it's, and some of the people have received the vaccine already in that group.

00:17:30.700 So it is, most people are fine getting it.

00:17:33.480 They realize, you know, they, they might not be excited about getting a shot, but they're

00:17:37.260 going to go through it and get it anyway.

00:17:39.060 I think there's a certain percentage of people, you know, it seems to be about 10% that are

00:17:43.400 just, you know, ideologically against the vaccine for whatever reason, or just don't

00:17:46.740 think it was going to work or don't think it's safe or healthy.

00:17:49.160 And I don't think you're going to change those people's minds.

00:17:52.000 You know, that's just the way, you know, the way they've, you know, processed the information.

00:17:56.900 A larger part of that area though, are people who just don't go to the doctor all that often.

00:18:02.420 You know, people who, those are the people that are reachable on the vaccine.

00:18:06.320 People who just like, I don't tend, like there's a lot of people who like never go to the dentist,

00:18:10.460 for example, like, you know, they just don't ever do it.

00:18:13.300 And it's, it's a surprisingly high percentage of the population that, you know, don't get

00:18:18.720 dental care for decades on end, right?

00:18:20.900 And the same thing happens with doctors that, you know, especially, um, in minority communities,

00:18:26.760 in communities in inner cities that just don't have access or don't have money or don't desire

00:18:32.080 to go see the doctor for every little thing.

00:18:34.140 And they just don't come in contact that often with medical professionals.

00:18:37.920 So there's some skepticism there as well.

00:18:41.540 And I think that's, those are the people they're going to try to reach in Israel.

00:18:45.180 They have kind of the same problem where the Orthodox communities are much less likely to

00:18:49.600 want to get the vaccine for ideological reasons.

00:18:52.140 So those communities are much harder for the government to get the vaccine too.

00:18:58.760 But they are at, as you point out, Pat, over now, 50% fully vaccinated in Israel.

00:19:05.180 They lead the world by a very large margin, uh, in that, in that world.

00:19:09.720 Let's see if I can get through the exact, uh, numbers.

00:19:12.580 This is, this is fully vaccinated numbers right now.

00:19:17.780 Here we go.

00:19:18.240 50.4% in Israel.

00:19:20.000 Number two is Bahrain at 12.9.

00:19:22.820 Wow.

00:19:23.160 So a huge, huge gap there.

00:19:26.000 Because we're at between partially and fully vaccinated.

00:19:29.840 I think we're at around 20%, aren't we?

00:19:32.540 And we've, between those who have gotten one of the two shots and those who've gotten both

00:19:37.000 of them.

00:19:37.820 I've got that right here.

00:19:38.760 Um, it's not quite, oh, you mean between both?

00:19:41.360 Yes.

00:19:41.540 I'm sorry.

00:19:42.140 Yeah.

00:19:42.340 Here we go.

00:19:42.820 Um, so, uh, at least one dose in the United States, 18 plus population, 27.9% has already

00:19:51.440 received one dose.

00:19:52.460 But more importantly here, right?

00:19:54.540 For this particular virus is the 65 plus population.

00:19:58.000 Now, 65% of that population has received at least one dose.

00:20:02.540 Which was the important group.

00:20:03.760 Yeah.

00:20:04.020 And look, you know, the Biden administration can try to take credit for all of this, which

00:20:09.640 is completely ridiculous, right?

00:20:11.880 Like during the Trump administration, they developed the vaccine. 0.97

00:20:16.160 They got it all ready.

00:20:17.480 They did all the testing.

00:20:18.800 They got it all prepared.

00:20:20.080 They designed the entire rollout strategy.

00:20:22.840 And then Biden comes in office is like, look what we just did with the vaccines.

00:20:26.320 Right.

00:20:26.720 We're great.

00:20:27.360 We inherited a broken system, a completely broken, non-existent system.

00:20:31.480 A lot of the people who are from the Trump administration who are running this effort

00:20:35.440 are still there.

00:20:36.400 Yeah.

00:20:36.800 You know, they're not, they're not partisans.

00:20:38.540 They're just, you know, people who are really good at logistics.

00:20:41.260 And you know what the record was?

00:20:42.460 The record development time before this.

00:20:46.100 Yeah.

00:20:46.340 For a vaccine from start of the disease to when you have a vaccine for it.

00:20:51.520 Before now, 10 years.

00:20:54.960 Measles took, I think it was a measles vaccination.

00:20:58.200 10 years.

00:20:59.080 I thought there was one for like whooping cough or something that was like more like

00:21:02.360 four or five years.

00:21:04.040 But still, it was multiple years.

00:21:07.040 Yeah.

00:21:07.200 It's a long time.

00:21:08.480 It's a lot longer than a year.

00:21:10.120 Yeah.

00:21:10.380 I mean, for start to finish, this thing happened in less than a year.

00:21:13.800 Yeah.

00:21:14.160 Really?

00:21:14.600 Really?

00:21:15.300 Incredible.

00:21:15.600 Whether you like it or not, it is absolutely impossible.

00:21:19.660 It's a miracle.

00:21:20.360 Which is, it really is incredible.

00:21:21.680 And really more exciting than this particular vaccine is the technology behind the vaccine.

00:21:26.880 This mRNA technology, which offers the ability to develop vaccines quickly like this.

00:21:36.540 Yeah.

00:21:36.740 For all, not just like pandemics.

00:21:38.460 I'm talking about like, you know, diseases that have existed in the third world for generations

00:21:43.180 and no one's really been able to get them under control because the development cost is so high

00:21:48.920 and it takes so long.

00:21:50.120 And obviously, these countries don't have the money and all of this.

00:21:53.320 This technology can be adapted really easily to things we've been fighting for a really long time.

00:21:59.020 So, I think long term, the upside is even more exciting than just what we have here.

00:22:04.480 We can go back to restaurants in a couple of weeks.

00:22:06.840 But we're now fully vaccinated in the country, 15% of the 18 plus population and 37% of 65 plus.

00:22:15.620 So, you're going to see, you know, the one thing you're seeing in Israel is when they break down the death rates

00:22:23.320 from the vaccinated population and the non-vaccinated population, it's remarkable how well this is working.

00:22:29.800 You know, more than half of the deaths right now in cases are coming from only like the 5% of the population

00:22:35.760 that isn't vaccinated in the older groups.

00:22:39.680 Because, and the other 95% of the population is, you know, accounting for less than the 5%,

00:22:46.720 which is really remarkable.

00:22:48.860 You look at it when it comes down, they break it down by age.

00:22:50.640 The older population, their deaths are dropping like crazy in Israel.

00:22:57.200 And they're down by, you know, over 70% now as far as just cases overall with the entire population.

00:23:03.560 So, you know, it's encouraging.

00:23:05.820 What do you make of all the stories, though, of people, you know, dying within a day or two of this

00:23:11.620 or becoming uncontrollably shaky for, you know, the rest of, I mean, I don't know how long it's going to last,

00:23:22.680 but there was, for instance, there was a woman who did a video and she couldn't stop shaking.

00:23:26.600 I mean, every part of her body was shaking and it had been going on for days and couldn't stop.

00:23:32.380 And the only thing she could attribute it to was the vaccine.

00:23:35.860 So, I mean, you're hearing these stories.

00:23:39.020 And, you know, maybe some people are just not able to handle it.

00:23:43.940 I don't know.

00:23:44.640 It's possible.

00:23:45.180 I mean, I think, you know, look, science via YouTube video is never a good idea.

00:23:50.180 Are you sure?

00:23:50.700 Yeah.

00:23:51.100 That's actually the first scientific principle.

00:23:53.440 Yeah.

00:23:54.320 Don't do science based on YouTube videos.

00:23:56.700 What about internet stories?

00:23:58.160 Internet stories are a different thing.

00:23:59.820 Well, if it's forwarded, then it's science.

00:24:02.440 Okay.

00:24:02.640 If people forwarded enough times, it becomes science.

00:24:05.240 So, like, I get it in my email, in my inbox, I can take it directly to the bank.

00:24:11.000 Yes, definitely.

00:24:11.740 I can believe it's true.

00:24:12.580 As long as the person sending it to you is not the source.

00:24:15.180 If it's been passed three or four times, then it becomes science.

00:24:18.300 Okay.

00:24:18.720 I mean, look, you have to look at the anecdotal cases as, you know, what they are.

00:24:23.120 And some of them, you know, there are some people who have had bad reactions to it, I guess.

00:24:28.040 It's pretty minor.

00:24:28.920 I mean, we know this, that the people who are taking the vaccine are dying at a much

00:24:34.600 lower rate than people that are not taking the vaccine.

00:24:37.580 And getting extremely sick at a much lower rate.

00:24:40.000 At a much lower rate.

00:24:40.520 And that's not just COVID.

00:24:42.020 That's overall.

00:24:43.020 Now, there could be a reason for that, in that people who are maybe healthier and more

00:24:47.120 engaged in the healthcare system are more likely to get the vaccine.

00:24:51.780 But it's certainly not showing.

00:24:53.560 There's no evidence whatsoever of these effects in a large scale.

00:24:57.540 For example, there's a debate going on with this AstraZeneca vaccine in Europe.

00:25:01.940 And AstraZeneca is not approved for use here in the United States.

00:25:05.480 They're in the middle of the test that would get it to approval.

00:25:08.440 But it is not approved in the United States yet.

00:25:10.280 It was improved very early on, as you might expect, because it has to do with Oxford, in the UK.

00:25:15.660 And that's really what they're using in the UK.

00:25:17.900 They went over to Europe.

00:25:20.680 And there's a debate now about a lot of the European countries have pulled it from usage.

00:25:27.360 And because they believe there was, I believe, five cases of blood clots.

00:25:33.120 Or maybe it might have been up to about 30 cases of blood clots related to the AstraZeneca vaccine.

00:25:37.820 Again, totally different technology than Pfizer and Moderna.

00:25:40.260 But still, this was the concern.

00:25:43.240 And so, people were freaked out about it.

00:25:45.280 They pulled it off the market.

00:25:46.240 It's interesting, though, to look at the numbers there.

00:25:48.680 In that Europe, the people that pulled it off the market are saying that blood clots are happening in 1 in 167,000 people who get the vaccine.

00:25:57.240 Now, in Britain, who's been using this vaccine the entire time, they're saying it's 1 in 500,000.

00:26:05.700 So, there's a disagreement between 1 in 167,000 and 1 in 500,000.

00:26:11.600 However, both of those numbers are better numbers than the population in general.

00:26:16.780 So, the idea that it's the vaccine causing this, the people, more than 1 in 167,000 people just get blood clots on a normal, everyday life basis.

00:26:30.420 So, there's no reason to believe, none of the science shows that any of this stuff is happening.

00:26:35.960 Now, look, that does not mean, and as you can probably tell, I'm very pro-vaccine.

00:26:41.440 I want to get back to normal life.

00:26:42.520 I think this is the best path to do it.

00:26:43.840 I love what the Trump administration did on this.

00:26:47.040 I love the fact that capitalism was involved.

00:26:49.220 I love the fact that the ultimate enemy of every single left-wing newspaper in America, big pharmaceutical companies, were involved.

00:26:57.040 I think it's hilarious.

00:26:58.380 And I love the fact that this is, I feel like, the American way out of something like this.

00:27:01.960 We just innovate, come up with something great, and get out of it and go on with our lives.

00:27:05.140 So, I do like that.

00:27:06.700 I am a pro.

00:27:07.960 However, nobody should be forcing you to take it if you don't want to take it.

00:27:12.080 And that is, you know, we have not seen anyone in the United States yet require it.

00:27:17.600 And they don't even require it in Israel.

00:27:20.100 But it is something that you could see Gavin Newsom or Andrew Cuomo doing and saying that it is required.

00:27:27.180 And you should not have to take any of these things if you don't want to take them.

00:27:30.480 That's an important part of liberty.

00:27:32.660 Just like you shouldn't have to wear a mask if you don't want to wear a mask.

00:27:35.320 Like, even if, right, like, even if, even if it was the best idea in the world, you still get to, I mean, look, I, you know, I would not, this is a country in which we're not supposed to be forcing people through the government to do pretty much anything.

00:27:52.100 You know, I mean, with the exception of don't murder, you know, don't steal.

00:27:58.940 There's a bunch of things.

00:27:59.900 There's a few commandments that outline some of these ideas at one point in an old book.

00:28:03.940 But, I mean, really, the government should have very limited access to your life as far as managing it.

00:28:10.120 And so, you know, the people who are much more skeptical on the vaccine than I am, I stand with them in the idea that they should not be forced to take it.

00:28:16.540 That's a terrible idea. 0.76

00:28:17.580 And it also will just turn people off from wanting to take it, you know, people who are on the fence are just gonna be like, screw you, don't tell me what to do.

00:28:24.620 It's exactly how I'd be if they started to mandate it.

00:28:27.060 Well, now I don't want it.

00:28:27.940 Yeah.

00:28:28.520 Now I don't want it.

00:28:30.000 And the messaging on this has been terrible.

00:28:32.500 It's basically like in Israel, they're saying, hey, get the vaccine, then go do what you want.

00:28:37.980 As soon as you're vaccinated, none of these rules apply to you anymore, basically.

00:28:41.060 That's what they're trying to communicate to the people.

00:28:43.400 That's not entirely true in Israel, but it is, it is what they're trying to communicate.

00:28:46.720 That's the messaging.

00:28:47.940 Here, the messaging is the opposite.

00:28:49.280 It's like, hey, get the vaccine.

00:28:50.960 And then in the year 2027, you'll be able to see another person again.

00:28:54.620 You know, you may even be able to eat outdoors in before 2050.

00:29:00.160 We'll let you know, you know, you, we get to tell you when that happens.

00:29:03.980 And the American people are just like, wait a minute, what?

00:29:06.720 I know.

00:29:07.040 Yeah.

00:29:07.460 And it's if, if, if you behave yourself, if you do everything we tell you to do, then

00:29:13.300 maybe you can get together and have a backyard barbecue the 4th of July.

00:29:18.520 We'll see.

00:29:19.380 We'll see.

00:29:19.780 And we'll let you know, by the way.

00:29:21.340 It's, I, I, do you think any of this, Pat, is them just trying to underplay it?

00:29:26.220 It's like, you know, when, when, when an air, airplane, uh, company, uh, uh, air, uh, a flight

00:29:31.500 tells you that you're going to be there at three o'clock when they know you're supposed

00:29:34.140 to be there at two 30.

00:29:35.060 So they have that, like that wiggle room in there.

00:29:36.820 Yes.

00:29:37.140 They're just trying to say like, it's like, well, he's like, oh, a million vaccines a day.

00:29:40.100 It's like, well, we're already doing that.

00:29:41.500 Like he's trying to set expectations so low that he's definitely going to clear them.

00:29:45.180 Maybe it's just that way.

00:29:51.000 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:29:52.800 And we really want to thank you for listening.

00:29:54.580 Joe Biden last night on, uh, with, with, uh, George Stephanopoulos and Stephanopoulos actually

00:30:08.220 pressed him on the crisis going on at the border, which of course, to the Biden administration,

00:30:12.580 isn't a crisis at all.

00:30:14.520 Uh, it's the same thing that's, it's been happening for years and, and this is all Donald

00:30:19.340 Trump's fault anyway.

00:30:20.420 Um, here's Stephanopoulos actually asking him some decent questions about the border.

00:30:26.960 A lot of the migrants coming in saying they're coming in because you promised to make things 1.00

00:30:31.900 better.

00:30:32.400 It seems to be getting worse by the day.

00:30:35.320 Was it a mistake not to anticipate this surge?

00:30:38.140 Well, first of all, there was a surge the last two years and, and, and 19 and 20, there

00:30:43.920 was a surge as well.

00:30:45.220 This one might be worse.

00:30:46.280 No, well, it could be, but here's the deal.

00:30:48.000 We're sending back people to, first of all, the idea that Joe Biden said, come, because

00:30:54.220 I heard the other day that they're, they're coming because they know I'm a nice guy and

00:30:58.840 I won't do it.

00:30:59.480 They're saying this.

00:31:00.160 Because you told them to.

00:31:01.260 Well, here's the deal.

00:31:02.280 Here's the deal.

00:31:02.620 They're not.

00:31:03.360 They're not.

00:31:03.560 Do you have to say quite clearly?

00:31:04.520 What do you mean?

00:31:04.860 They're not.

00:31:05.260 Good follow up there.

00:31:06.500 Yes.

00:31:07.060 I can say quite clearly.

00:31:08.000 Here's the deal.

00:31:08.820 They're not.

00:31:09.100 In the process of getting set up, don't leave your town or city community.

00:31:14.340 Uh-huh.

00:31:14.760 Okay.

00:31:15.220 Democrats get to say this every time and it's not hateful.

00:31:18.300 You know, don't leave your town or city is the thing that Donald Trump would say and

00:31:21.940 that would be hateful when he said it.

00:31:23.300 And xenophobic.

00:31:24.240 Mm-hmm.

00:31:24.560 Yeah.

00:31:24.980 Yeah.

00:31:25.160 You should.

00:31:25.460 Well, you shouldn't.

00:31:26.140 You know, he's right on that point.

00:31:27.760 If you want to give him a very narrow, he's correct.

00:31:30.240 You shouldn't illegally come to another country in any circumstance. 0.97

00:31:34.280 Other than-

00:31:34.600 It's a good safety tip.

00:31:36.040 Potentially like a massive war going on in your country and you're escaping as a refugee.

00:31:42.800 Really, there's no reason to do this.

00:31:44.680 It's not for economic benefit.

00:31:47.340 That's not what these laws are set up to do.

00:31:49.340 And honestly, illegally, you shouldn't ever come.

00:31:52.060 You should, you know, come as a refugee in certain circumstances.

00:31:55.380 Well, Biden denies that he is responsible at all for this.

00:31:59.880 But let's go back to the campaign and the promise he made essentially to the people of

00:32:04.080 Mexico and Central and South America when he talked about the first hundred days of

00:32:09.400 his administration.

00:32:10.920 Cut number two.

00:32:11.940 They're there seeking asylum.

00:32:14.000 First time ever we've told people they can't come to America.

00:32:17.560 That ends.

00:32:18.320 The cage is closed.

00:32:19.600 That ends.

00:32:20.500 Cages are closed.

00:32:22.000 And in the first 100 days, he goes on to say that, you know, they're going to- they can

00:32:27.020 come here essentially and receive asylum from the United States of America.

00:32:32.240 Like, we've never told them before not to come.

00:32:35.800 Yeah.

00:32:36.340 And by the way, the cages are open.

00:32:38.940 Just so you know.

00:32:40.000 They're now open.

00:32:41.420 Come on in.

00:32:42.800 You're going to Cageville, everybody.

00:32:44.820 All right.

00:32:45.680 Cage town.

00:32:46.620 And they're at full capacity, too.

00:32:48.100 Beyond full capacity.

00:32:49.640 Yep.

00:32:49.960 The cages.

00:32:51.280 I mean, the average is something like 300% of pre-COVID capacity.

00:32:56.180 So-

00:32:56.980 I mean, Democrats were weeping over it.

00:32:59.880 They would literally have press conferences where they would break down and weep openly

00:33:05.900 about how inhumane it was Donald Trump treating these children that came across the border that

00:33:14.880 were ripped, that were torn from the arms of their crying mothers and then tossed into 0.89

00:33:21.740 these cages like animals.

00:33:25.260 All of that was so tragic under Donald Trump.

00:33:31.400 And now- now it's just the humane thing to do.

00:33:35.060 Now, what else are we supposed to do with them?

00:33:37.320 They're- they're just all here without their parents and we've got to find some place for

00:33:41.240 them and we don't know where they belong and we're trying really hard to find their parents.

00:33:46.480 So what are we supposed to do other than put them in these facilities?

00:33:51.520 They're facilities now.

00:33:52.800 They're not cages.

00:33:53.380 No, now they're just facilities.

00:33:54.740 They're wonderful facilities.

00:33:55.840 I went back, by the way, Pat, and I think you'll remember the story when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,

00:34:01.960 these photos came out of her at the border and she was crying at a fence.

00:34:05.920 You remember these things?

00:34:06.920 I do.

00:34:07.560 Yeah.

00:34:07.700 And, you know, the people were kind of mocking them as sort of looking very staged and they

00:34:12.480 were actually taken before AOC was like a figure, a public figure.

00:34:17.380 She was running for office, but like no one knew who she was at this point. 0.99

00:34:21.180 And I went back and just glanced at those.

00:34:24.020 They are among the most cringeworthy photos I've ever seen in my life.

00:34:28.360 Oh, I'd love to see them.

00:34:29.580 She, it, they, now she claims this was a real moment and the photographer says it was a real

00:34:35.540 moment of emotion overtaking her.

00:34:37.460 Yeah.

00:34:37.960 They look so cringy and staged.

00:34:41.960 And, you know, she's standing in front of this fence and it is like down the road, a long

00:34:48.860 like driveway, if you will, to a facility.

00:34:53.040 So people were saying, oh, she's just in front of an empty lot.

00:34:55.940 It's not true exactly.

00:34:57.200 Like, you know, she was near the facility.

00:34:59.480 It was as close as she could get.

00:35:00.800 I mean, they weren't allowing people inside, but still like, I just, I don't know.

00:35:05.860 Well, it's like, can you, you know, I don't, I'm trying to think of like, if you were, if

00:35:09.720 you went to a site that somehow meant something to you, but you could barely see it in the

00:35:14.260 distance, it's, it doesn't seem like it would evoke the emotion.

00:35:17.820 And then it just like, it just doesn't look real.

00:35:22.020 It looks like she's just standing there fake crying for the camera. 1.00

00:35:26.300 I mean, it, I don't know what it is seeing them again after knowing her, because when you

00:35:31.700 first saw them, she was kind of in the news and it wasn't a huge story at the time.

00:35:36.060 Knowing how awful she is and how her, her only goal in life is to pander to cameras. 0.99

00:35:44.560 You know, all she does all the time is going Instagram live and run her mouth about God 1.00

00:35:49.240 knows what about. 0.94

00:35:50.140 She doesn't know how the freaking, you know, garbage disposal works or whatever she talks 1.00

00:35:53.660 about. 0.81

00:35:55.640 And to see these photos in that light now that we know kind of who she is.

00:36:00.580 Oh, they're cringy.

00:36:01.600 Are you, are you looking at them?

00:36:02.580 Did you bring up?

00:36:03.100 I'm trying to find them.

00:36:03.720 I haven't seen them yet.

00:36:04.380 I have to sign.

00:36:05.140 They are so cringy.

00:36:07.260 And we had them on the, we, we, we showed briefly on the show the other day on Stude

00:36:11.400 Does America.

00:36:12.720 And it's just, oh, it gives you that feeling inside your stomach when you realize like

00:36:17.100 someone's like trying like a really bad actor or actress who's trying to pull off a role

00:36:24.140 and failing.

00:36:24.940 And like everyone around you knows that they're failing to get that like tightness in your

00:36:28.460 stomach.

00:36:28.880 And it's like, oh God, this is so cringy.

00:36:31.560 That's what it feels like when you look at them.

00:36:32.940 I know she said something early on when it came out again that, that, that Biden is using

00:36:37.640 the cages and she actually said something, uh, negative about it.

00:36:42.940 Moderately.

00:36:43.540 Moderately negative.

00:36:44.480 Not, it wasn't, it wasn't a literal concentration camp when Joe Biden was doing it.

00:36:47.960 No, that's for sure.

00:36:49.520 But she's been amazingly silent since.

00:36:51.900 I think she said one thing about it and then she shut her mouth about it. 0.78

00:36:55.040 And she said like, this is wrong.

00:36:56.160 It's always been wrong.

00:36:57.720 That's what it was. 1.00

00:36:58.560 But Donald Trump is evil. 0.99

00:36:59.460 You know, it was like that type of thing. 0.99

00:37:00.760 Yeah, it's pretty much.

00:37:01.700 Yeah.

00:37:01.960 You know, totally different standard.

00:37:03.440 And of course, all these things that she talked about, you know, she complained about 0.91

00:37:06.360 wanting this $15 minimum wage and how she was going to hold up the process. 1.00

00:37:09.540 She didn't vote against, against the bill.

00:37:11.560 It's amazing.

00:37:12.040 She let it go through anyway, because she's just like so many other Democrats, you know, there's

00:37:16.960 no, there's nothing there.

00:37:18.220 And back in late February, Glenn tweeted out, maybe you guys talked about this at the time,

00:37:23.400 just for the record, the Biden administration is separating children and parents.

00:37:27.860 Did you talk about that at the time?

00:37:29.320 Because PolitiFact fact-checked that.

00:37:31.160 They are separating children and parents.

00:37:32.800 Yes.

00:37:33.520 Glenn Beck said that, that the evil Glenn Beck with his hatefulness.

00:37:38.940 I love this one.

00:37:39.680 This is the one where he said a full sentence and they fact-checked half the sentence.

00:37:44.540 They actually broke the sentence into two pieces so they could give him a false ranking.

00:37:49.440 That's unbelievable.

00:37:50.600 And, and, and like, well, I don't understand why this is better.

00:37:54.400 What is happening now?

00:37:55.840 This is their argument.

00:37:57.220 When Donald Trump was president, a mom and a son would come across the border and the

00:38:02.760 mom would get arrested for coming across the border. 1.00

00:38:04.520 They didn't want to throw the son into jail, right?

00:38:08.540 Yes.

00:38:08.860 So they would detain them in two different places.

00:38:11.240 That was the separation of children from parents that we heard so much about.

00:38:15.460 Right.

00:38:15.840 Right.

00:38:16.120 What's happening now is the parents at some point before they cross the border are having

00:38:22.000 their children go ahead of them by themselves.

00:38:23.880 So they're now crossing the border solo instead of with their parent.

00:38:28.180 They're still separate. 0.94

00:38:29.600 They just separated on the other side of the border and that means Donald Trump is evil 0.98

00:38:34.780 and Hitler and literal concentration camp guy and Joe Biden is totally fine. 0.98

00:38:39.220 And they act as if Donald Trump had his minions down at the border, stealing babies from the

00:38:47.160 arms of their, of their parents.

00:38:48.760 When in fact it was mostly teenagers then, like it's mostly teenagers now.

00:38:54.960 It was, it was older children and teens.

00:38:59.140 Yeah.

00:38:59.540 I don't think a lot of babies were torn from the, the arms of their mothers as they carried

00:39:05.000 across the border.

00:39:06.220 Now we're, I mean, what we're looking at right now is 15, 16 and 17 year olds largely.

00:39:10.280 Yeah.

00:39:10.420 Now look, are those quote unquote children?

00:39:12.480 I mean, the lies of the law, sure.

00:39:13.960 They're under age, but you know, it's a different story than what you picture and you know, they,

00:39:20.260 they will use the photos to elicit emotion.

00:39:24.620 And they'll, we'll find the one younger child who happens to be in a large group and, and

00:39:28.960 focus on them.

00:39:30.060 Who doesn't know what's going on.

00:39:31.480 I mean, there's obviously they use this, they use these photos for their advantage, just

00:39:34.960 like these AOC photos.

00:39:36.000 I think we have them now.

00:39:37.040 Have you, if we, if you're, Oh good.

00:39:38.560 Look at, Oh yeah.

00:39:41.300 Look at that.

00:39:41.640 And it's just comical.

00:39:42.920 That just happened to be somebody walking by with a camera at the same time that AOC started

00:39:51.300 breaking down.

00:39:52.060 It is.

00:39:52.860 If you're clearly spontaneous, if you, if you happen to be on blaze TV, it's, it's, it's

00:39:57.520 worth watching because it basically you have the, there's a couple of different vibes here.

00:40:01.880 You have one vibe where she's looking like a sad puppy dog at the camera, which is just 0.65

00:40:06.940 hysterical.

00:40:08.480 And then the other one where she's standing by herself and awkwardly bending over in her 0.99

00:40:14.220 pristine white clothing and her nice new watch.

00:40:17.160 And she's kind of just like crying.

00:40:19.620 I, like, I just, it doesn't seem.

00:40:21.700 It bent her in half.

00:40:23.020 Yeah.

00:40:23.300 It bent her in half.

00:40:24.180 The grief bent her in half.

00:40:26.140 The grief of these children being taken from their parents bent her in half.

00:40:31.280 And look, there are a lot of sad stories on the border.

00:40:33.420 This is why we say we should have it under control.

00:40:35.200 I mean, there are really terrible, tragic stories that happen on the border all the time.

00:40:38.860 People who are convinced by Democrats largely that this is not really an offense, that it's

00:40:46.340 basically, it's less than a speeding ticket because you don't even get fined.

00:40:50.440 And we, and you know, they come across the border thinking they're going to get a better

00:40:53.340 life because Democrats are screaming that, uh, that it's possible.

00:40:57.160 And now they see Biden as the quote, migrant president, the Mexican president said that

00:41:02.740 these migrants see Joe Biden as the migrant president.

00:41:06.060 And they, they're coming here because they believe it's okay.

00:41:10.880 But they believe because half the country and all of the media is saying it, it's okay.

00:41:15.020 And just to accentuate that point, uh, we have one of the migrants actually, uh, speaking

00:41:22.000 about this.

00:41:22.900 Uh, let me see.

00:41:23.880 Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

00:41:27.300 did we have this today or yeah.

00:41:32.560 Okay.

00:41:32.800 Here's here's one of the migrants talking about Joe Biden. 0.92

00:41:35.800 Actually.

00:41:36.420 What I want for my people.

00:41:37.700 I just want patient and pass that we can get to the U S because they're having a new

00:41:42.160 president versus Biden.

00:41:43.980 He's going to help all of us.

00:41:45.180 He given us a hundred days to get to the U S and give us legal mental paper so we can

00:41:51.580 get a better life for our kids and family.

00:41:54.140 Isn't that great?

00:41:54.880 so so they got it right from joe biden he's given him a hundred days to get here and just have a

00:42:01.800 better life for him and his family and i look we that's amazing it is amazing and we as conservatives

00:42:08.040 would look at this and say a lot of times we'll say like you shouldn't come across the border

00:42:11.580 and you know it's a bad idea blah blah blah and that's of course true but it's also like you from

00:42:16.880 their perspective the messaging they're getting from the entire media and uh not to mention the

00:42:23.560 candidate himself and all of his allies in congress is it's mean if we send you back

00:42:29.720 yeah if we say hey you know we're going to deport you that's the mean thing we're not going to do

00:42:34.400 that anymore he campaigned on it of course they believe they can come in they we've been they've

00:42:40.500 been we've been telling you this for months and months and months and months if joe biden gets in

00:42:45.760 everything's going to be fine well of course they believe they can come in of course they do he told

00:42:50.880 them yeah i mean he essentially told them that look i'm your guy i'm your president too because

00:42:57.280 i'm going to invite you in that's what he did that's the message they got yeah and they're not

00:43:03.020 experts on the law of the united states think about this like sure you could say okay it's against the
