Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey, it's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn and Stu today on the podcast.
00:00:04.480 We start off the show talking about the meeting between Joe Biden and Vlad Putin.
00:00:08.720 Powerful.
00:00:09.120 Oh, you're going to puff up with pride as an American when you see it and hear it.
00:00:13.920 Also, a lobster diver was swallowed whole.
00:00:17.160 Uh-huh.
00:00:17.880 Wink, wink, by a humpback whale.
00:00:19.900 Oh, he was.
00:00:21.180 And we listened to his amazing interview describing the incident.
00:00:24.820 Uh, finally, Governor Abbott signed a bill today to, uh, or recently to begin construction
00:00:31.360 of the southern Texas border, which the left is going to go nuts over.
00:00:35.900 We go over all this and more on today's podcast.
00:00:46.420 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:00:53.220 All right.
00:00:54.260 Uh, we had the Biden-Putin summit yesterday.
00:00:58.360 Uh, I love the treatment that CNN gave it on their, uh, they've got this show called reality
00:01:04.540 check.
00:01:05.120 I don't know what the douche's name is.
00:01:07.000 It doesn't.
00:01:08.260 Oh, he is.
00:01:09.040 I don't either.
00:01:10.020 Agonizing.
00:01:11.000 And you know what?
00:01:12.320 They reality checked every single day for four years.
00:01:15.140 I usually watch good shows and I don't remember watching reality.
00:01:19.160 Really?
00:01:19.600 Yeah.
00:01:19.940 It's at seven o'clock every morning.
00:01:21.520 They do a little reality check.
00:01:22.680 And it was usually to check on something that Trump said.
00:01:25.120 So everybody was wondering, well, when Trump leaves, what are they going to talk about?
00:01:29.360 Trump.
00:01:29.940 Yeah.
00:01:30.140 Trump.
00:01:30.580 Trump.
00:01:30.860 They're going to talk about Trump.
00:01:31.820 They're still going to reality check.
00:01:33.460 Donald Trump.
00:01:34.040 And Republicans.
00:01:36.300 And today's thing was, are Republicans rooting for Vladimir Putin?
00:01:43.640 No, Republicans weren't rooting for Vlad Putin.
00:01:48.740 It's, it's agonizing.
00:01:51.040 What Republicans were concerned about is we have a president in serious cognitive decline,
00:01:59.100 which CNN doesn't seem to even freaking notice.
00:02:01.980 No, no, not at all.
00:02:03.220 They don't even notice.
00:02:03.800 We just overlooked that completely.
00:02:05.840 Yeah.
00:02:05.980 We're not going to pay attention to that.
00:02:07.400 And it's as clear as the nose on your face.
00:02:09.640 It's as obvious as any situation we've ever seen involving a president of the United States.
00:02:17.420 The guy's in trouble.
00:02:19.000 He just is.
00:02:19.560 And it has been for quite some time.
00:02:20.860 Yeah.
00:02:21.180 I mean, it's really.
00:02:21.900 He was in trouble during the campaign.
00:02:23.500 Yeah.
00:02:23.900 We warned about it all during the campaign.
00:02:25.740 He was elected anyway.
00:02:26.960 He got really lucky with being able to be in the basement through most of the campaign
00:02:32.420 because of the pandemic.
00:02:33.900 Yeah.
00:02:34.120 He had to stay in.
00:02:34.860 A lot.
00:02:35.520 I think.
00:02:36.080 At least I thought it did.
00:02:37.060 But now he's out and about and it appears like, oh, well, that's just the way he is.
00:02:42.120 Yeah.
00:02:42.440 Joe being Joe.
00:02:43.540 Well, and he's got a whole staff of people around him who try to save him every chance they get.
00:02:47.760 But Jill among them.
00:02:49.180 Jill is always leading him around.
00:02:50.840 She's definitely his handler.
00:02:51.900 Yeah.
00:02:52.260 Trying to jump in there and save him.
00:02:53.760 And Kamala does the same thing.
00:02:55.360 She serves the same purpose.
00:02:57.720 And so yesterday, you had the two world leaders by themselves.
00:03:01.540 So there's no saving him here.
00:03:03.720 He's got to be able to compete with this vicious killer, as everybody calls him.
00:03:08.320 Because Putin is.
00:03:09.740 He's a vicious killer.
00:03:10.880 He poisons his opponents.
00:03:14.480 And he's done it on a fairly regular basis.
00:03:16.780 And he doesn't mind doing it.
00:03:19.880 And here are the two sitting down together and just getting settled in.
00:03:23.160 This is kind of fun.
00:03:23.860 Putin is sitting there with his legs crossed like a proper lady.
00:03:33.540 Like the proper lady he is.
00:03:36.900 And Putin just making himself comfortable with a little man spread.
00:03:41.480 Joe looking at his notes.
00:03:43.760 Looking at his notes.
00:03:44.620 Looking at his notes.
00:03:45.480 Putin had none.
00:03:47.060 And that doesn't mean we're rooting for Vladimir Putin.
00:03:49.320 That just means, again, the president is not in the shape that he needs to be to face this kind of challenge.
00:04:01.840 He can't handle it.
00:04:02.980 He can't.
00:04:04.380 And they have been babbling about how racist America is.
00:04:10.420 And that our biggest threat in this country that we face is white supremacy.
00:04:15.760 And that January 6th was the worst event in American history.
00:04:21.260 It's akin to 9-11.
00:04:23.020 It's bigger than Pearl Harbor.
00:04:27.360 It was a threat to democracy.
00:04:30.080 All of that nonsense.
00:04:31.940 I mean, it is 1-6 now.
00:04:35.620 Yeah.
00:04:36.160 That's 1-6.
00:04:38.360 Okay.
00:04:38.960 Which is more powerful, of course, than 9-11.
00:04:41.080 Because it was so much worse.
00:04:42.200 So much worse.
00:04:43.580 And they've been spreading that.
00:04:45.760 For the whole time.
00:04:46.980 So, what do you think is going to happen?
00:04:48.800 You think Putin's not going to take advantage of that?
00:04:50.620 He did.
00:04:51.800 He did take advantage of it.
00:04:53.420 When he's asked about political violence in his country, he turned it around.
00:04:59.920 You didn't answer my question, sir.
00:05:01.680 If all of your political opponents are dead, in prison, poisoned, doesn't that send a message that you do not want a fair political fight?
00:05:11.400 Well, on the question of who is murdering whom, people rioted and went into the Congress in the US with political demands.
00:05:31.140 And many people were declared as criminals, and they are threatened with imprisonment from 20 to 25 years.
00:05:42.240 Okay.
00:05:42.960 Sure.
00:05:45.640 Hello.
00:05:46.240 And these people were immediately arrested after those events.
00:05:55.560 On what grounds, we don't know always.
00:06:01.620 These states didn't actually inform us about that.
00:06:04.360 One of the participants were just shot on the spot.
00:06:14.280 Sadly, that's true.
00:06:15.420 Unarmed as well.
00:06:16.720 Unarmed.
00:06:17.580 Shot on the spot.
00:06:19.080 Right.
00:06:19.260 Many countries are going through exactly what we're going through.
00:06:24.440 Let me just repeat.
00:06:25.600 We sympathize with what was happening in the States, but we do not wish that to happen in Russia.
00:06:33.280 Wow.
00:06:34.800 Wow.
00:06:35.260 So just turn it right back around on us.
00:06:37.060 Absolutely.
00:06:37.320 I'm not going to answer any of your other questions about the accidental poisoning.
00:06:42.860 Yeah, the poisoning of my political opponents, which is not what was going on on January 6th.
00:06:47.540 But I'm going to use that anyway, because the Democrats use it all the time.
00:06:51.720 So why wouldn't I?
00:06:52.720 Why wouldn't I?
00:06:55.040 That's what they've created here.
00:06:56.960 They've created a problem whereby America has no credibility in the world.
00:07:01.260 On the world stage, they've removed the high ground from us by continually dragging us through the mud,
00:07:09.960 talking about what an awful, racist, xenophobic nation we are, and how hateful white people are.
00:07:18.260 And the white supremacist movement is completely out of control and our number one threat.
00:07:23.920 It's pathetic what they've done.
00:07:26.540 No.
00:07:27.800 It's almost treasonous.
00:07:32.100 It is.
00:07:33.080 It's just almost treason what they've done here.
00:07:36.760 And you can see that they've given cannon fodder to all of our enemies.
00:07:40.960 They've given cover to Vladimir Putin.
00:07:43.680 And they set us up to take a fall in this summit.
00:07:48.400 And we did.
00:07:50.560 And we did.
00:07:52.120 Yeah, we did.
00:07:53.180 We left.
00:07:54.320 This president left the other world leaders.
00:07:58.080 It pisses me off.
00:07:59.600 I know.
00:08:01.940 It's frustrating.
00:08:03.340 So frustrating.
00:08:04.040 Because, you know, it was always, at least, if it wasn't, I mean, Donald Trump was, you know, a standalone kind of guy where, I mean, he pushed his way to the front.
00:08:14.060 And I'm Donald Trump and America first.
00:08:15.680 And that's the way it goes.
00:08:16.820 And that's the way it was.
00:08:18.600 But even before Donald Trump, at least America still held your term, the high ground.
00:08:25.860 Yeah.
00:08:26.420 Still held the high ground.
00:08:27.480 Yes.
00:08:28.280 But we've, you know.
00:08:29.600 We've ceded that to them now.
00:08:30.960 We absolutely have.
00:08:31.600 We've ceded it.
00:08:32.420 We've said to the Chinese, we're no better than you.
00:08:35.200 We've said to the Russians, we're no better than you.
00:08:37.500 We've said to our allies, we can't really hold the world stage.
00:08:42.160 We can't do it anymore.
00:08:43.000 And they're believing that, right?
00:08:44.060 Oh, yeah.
00:08:44.660 That started with, you know, with, well, Barack Obama for sure, right?
00:08:48.700 By doing his apology tour and saying that, you know, you are just as good as us and we're not better than you.
00:08:55.320 And then they, now they believe it.
00:08:56.800 America is exceptional, just like Iceland is exceptional.
00:09:02.360 You think the Icelanders don't think they're exceptional?
00:09:05.200 Of course they do.
00:09:05.460 Of course they do.
00:09:06.040 Just like Canadians are exceptional and Zimbabweans are exceptional.
00:09:10.740 Sure, we're exceptional just like that.
00:09:12.760 In fact, Canada is so exceptional.
00:09:14.480 You know what?
00:09:14.920 Come up to the big table.
00:09:16.100 Exactly.
00:09:16.640 You don't even have to sit at the kids' table anymore.
00:09:18.120 We'll put you at the G7 table.
00:09:18.700 So they've created this world.
00:09:23.940 Yes, they have.
00:09:24.760 And now we have to try to function in it and have to try to still lead with it.
00:09:30.300 And I don't know how you do that.
00:09:31.300 I don't know how you do that.
00:09:31.960 After you've beaten America down like this, after you have admitted that we're no better than anybody else,
00:09:38.440 then how do you reclaim the high ground and tell China, hey, stop with the Uyghurs, okay?
00:09:44.900 Well, after you stop persecuting your black people, maybe we'll do that.
00:09:49.360 After you stop persecuting all of your minorities and bring equality to all your people,
00:09:56.420 then maybe you can talk to us about it.
00:09:58.120 Then maybe.
00:09:59.340 That's what we're getting now.
00:10:00.720 That's what we're getting.
00:10:02.560 Because they act as if and speak as if we're no better than anybody else.
00:10:07.580 And so you created this world.
00:10:09.120 Again, now we have to lay in it.
00:10:12.440 We're just subject now to what the Democrats have done here.
00:10:15.800 And it's really, it's a real problem.
00:10:18.700 It's a real problem.
00:10:19.960 And then on top of that, we have our president who is struggling.
00:10:24.160 Cognitive decline.
00:10:25.120 Yeah.
00:10:25.680 I mean, it's really noticeable.
00:10:28.460 Really noticeable.
00:10:29.420 And it's so noticeable after the last four years with Donald Trump, who commanded.
00:10:36.180 I mean, say what you will about him.
00:10:38.380 I know a lot of people don't like the way he acted.
00:10:40.660 They didn't like his style.
00:10:42.200 But I'm sorry.
00:10:43.280 He commanded respect from those guys.
00:10:45.360 Yes.
00:10:45.980 He really did.
00:10:46.800 And Emmanuel Macron was not browbeating Donald Trump.
00:10:51.400 Not for one second.
00:10:52.980 The way he did to Biden the other day.
00:10:55.140 Telling Biden what he was going to do in Europe.
00:10:57.740 And Biden's just nodding his approval.
00:10:59.680 Yeah.
00:11:00.140 I need to do that.
00:11:01.440 Yeah.
00:11:02.080 Yeah.
00:11:02.400 You're right.
00:11:03.400 Emmanuel.
00:11:04.180 You're right.
00:11:05.840 Right.
00:11:06.480 Okay.
00:11:07.360 Yeah.
00:11:08.100 Anything else?
00:11:09.020 Yeah.
00:11:09.200 Okay.
00:11:09.440 I'll do that too.
00:11:10.780 It was ridiculous.
00:11:13.440 Ridiculous.
00:11:14.180 I know.
00:11:15.200 So then he has another moment of telling people that he's going to take questions.
00:11:21.840 And he has to, for some reason, feels the need to tell everybody that he's been given a list that he's supposed to abide by.
00:11:30.620 I think he feels, and I was thinking about this because I don't understand that either.
00:11:34.960 It doesn't make sense to me why you have to say it.
00:11:39.820 Yeah.
00:11:40.080 I just.
00:11:40.860 Just do it.
00:11:41.540 Do it.
00:11:42.140 Right.
00:11:42.560 Just call on the reporters that they've given you the list for.
00:11:47.220 Bob Stevens from the Associated Press.
00:11:49.300 Go ahead.
00:11:50.020 That's all you have to do.
00:11:51.260 Here's what he did instead.
00:11:52.840 I'll take your questions.
00:11:53.900 And as usual, folks, they gave me a list of the people I'm going to call on.
00:11:58.200 So, Jonathan, Associated Press.
00:12:01.340 So, we'll start with Jonathan.
00:12:02.480 Somebody else is controlling him.
00:12:03.760 Well, Bob.
00:12:04.500 As always.
00:12:04.900 First of all, Bob Stevenson is really pissed right now.
00:12:07.320 Yeah, he is.
00:12:07.800 Because it wasn't Bob.
00:12:08.600 So, Bob's usually first.
00:12:11.740 So, I just feel like he thinks in his mind, by doing that, it takes away the anger of the
00:12:21.180 other members of the press that aren't getting to ask him questions.
00:12:25.060 Oh, that could be.
00:12:26.240 Yeah.
00:12:26.440 Somebody else gave me this list.
00:12:27.640 This isn't my fault.
00:12:28.440 Right.
00:12:28.860 I would call on you.
00:12:29.780 That you're not being called on.
00:12:30.180 I would call on you.
00:12:31.120 Maybe.
00:12:31.400 I feel like maybe that's in his head, but it doesn't work.
00:12:34.180 It doesn't come across like that.
00:12:35.600 And then he usually apologizes for it and says he's going to get in trouble for it.
00:12:38.720 See, that's.
00:12:39.280 And then it looks even worse.
00:12:40.440 Right.
00:12:41.040 Because, like, I think we talked about it.
00:12:43.220 I don't know if it was your show or this show, but he feels like he, that was funny.
00:12:48.460 When he was a senator and he was surrounded by reporters and he had to get to a hearing,
00:12:54.240 he would say, oh, you guys, I'm going to get in trouble.
00:12:56.420 But, okay, well, I'll talk to you right now.
00:12:59.280 So, it was like a standing little joke with him.
00:13:02.560 Well, he's the president of the United States now.
00:13:05.440 It's not funny.
00:13:07.280 No, it's not.
00:13:09.100 You get to do.
00:13:09.680 You're the president.
00:13:10.660 Yeah.
00:13:11.460 I'm sorry.
00:13:12.240 You get to do what you want to do.
00:13:14.180 And we had, I mean, Donald Trump did that.
00:13:16.360 Right.
00:13:16.560 And I know we didn't like Donald Trump, but especially with the press.
00:13:20.220 Right.
00:13:20.600 I mean, I know the press hated him, but he stood in front of them every day.
00:13:25.520 Answering questions.
00:13:26.400 Walking out of the White House.
00:13:27.320 One after another.
00:13:27.860 Wherever they were, you go.
00:13:29.360 And he loved it.
00:13:30.320 What do you got?
00:13:30.880 What do you got for me?
00:13:31.400 Who are you with?
00:13:32.240 What do you got for me?
00:13:33.200 What?
00:13:34.300 I mean, every day.
00:13:35.600 Every day.
00:13:38.580 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:13:41.080 This is a Virginia teenager that has gone viral because she blasted the board of Virginia's
00:13:52.180 Loudoun County Public Schools for allowing transgender students to use girls' locker rooms.
00:13:59.680 And she's a little bit hacked off about it.
00:14:03.120 And it's about time some of these girls are speaking out about this.
00:14:08.860 I don't know why this hasn't happened more.
00:14:11.280 I don't know.
00:14:12.280 I don't know.
00:14:12.900 Maybe it has.
00:14:13.900 Maybe they've been beaten into submission and they think, oh, I'm a terrible person if
00:14:17.900 I speak out against them.
00:14:18.820 Yes.
00:14:19.600 No.
00:14:20.220 You should express your concerns.
00:14:21.800 Why?
00:14:22.820 Why are the only concerns for the transgender person here?
00:14:26.740 Why?
00:14:27.040 Yeah.
00:14:27.180 The parents should definitely be speaking up.
00:14:30.160 You're not protecting the girls in this school?
00:14:32.320 Right.
00:14:32.860 At all.
00:14:33.420 You don't care about that?
00:14:34.700 Well, we do care about that.
00:14:36.340 No, you don't because they're uncomfortable with this.
00:14:39.700 Now, you're telling me that transgenders are uncomfortable in the boys' locker room, even
00:14:44.520 if they're biological boys.
00:14:46.100 But you don't care about the girls' comfort if you move the boy into the girls' locker
00:14:50.100 room.
00:14:50.400 And remember, I guess probably five years ago, but it doesn't feel that long ago, the argument
00:14:58.880 was, well, then we'll give you a separate, we're going to have to build separate locker
00:15:05.880 rooms for the trans athletes.
00:15:08.160 Yeah.
00:15:08.360 No.
00:15:08.800 No.
00:15:09.380 No.
00:15:09.760 That's not acceptable.
00:15:11.060 We're not doing that.
00:15:12.260 They're not comfortable with that.
00:15:13.860 Why?
00:15:15.120 They're not comfortable with their own locker?
00:15:16.620 I would love to have my own locker room.
00:15:19.120 Are you kidding me?
00:15:20.760 Really?
00:15:21.700 I don't have to look at any of the other men in the place?
00:15:25.520 You were uncomfortable with that?
00:15:26.880 I was uncomfortable with it.
00:15:27.840 Really?
00:15:28.100 Yeah, I didn't like it.
00:15:28.920 I didn't like it.
00:15:29.760 So, but I had to deal with it and I didn't tell anybody, you know what?
00:15:34.300 I'm uncomfortable in the boys' locker room.
00:15:35.980 I need to go in the girls' room.
00:15:36.960 Well, I want to be clear that I did and that they didn't allow it.
00:15:40.000 I bet they did not.
00:15:41.920 So, the district's new policy is, quote, students should be allowed to use the facility that
00:15:48.800 corresponds to their gender identity and not their biological sex.
00:15:54.180 Okay, good.
00:15:54.980 That's not good.
00:15:56.080 However you feel.
00:15:57.000 That's however you feel.
00:15:58.880 According to Fox News, the new policy follows Policy 1040, which stated that the county
00:16:03.960 was committed to providing an equitable, safe, and inclusive working environment regardless
00:16:09.780 of sexual orientation, gender identity, or other individual characteristics.
00:16:14.760 Unless you're a girl, then we don't care.
00:16:16.300 We don't care what you have to say.
00:16:17.280 We don't care at all.
00:16:17.680 We don't care.
00:16:18.520 No, and they would not move on this.
00:16:23.360 So, this girl is standing before the board, the school board, and she said, two years ago,
00:16:30.400 I was told Policy 1040 was just an umbrella philosophy and you weren't going to allow boys
00:16:36.160 into the girls' locker rooms.
00:16:37.500 But here you are doing just that.
00:16:40.240 Funny how that happens, isn't it?
00:16:41.720 Isn't it?
00:16:43.380 Everyone knows what a boy is, even you.
00:16:46.940 Awesome.
00:16:48.440 Your proposed policies are dangerous and rooted in sexism.
00:16:51.600 When woke kids ask me if I'm a lesbian or a trans boy because I cut my hair short, it
00:16:58.160 should tell you these modern identities are superficial.
00:17:02.060 Smart.
00:17:02.760 That's really good.
00:17:03.440 And so true.
00:17:05.860 Yes.
00:17:07.340 She finished up with, now boys are reading erotica in the classroom next to girls, and
00:17:12.980 then you want to give them access to the girls' locker rooms?
00:17:15.840 And you want to force girls to call those boys she.
00:17:19.740 You do this in the name of inclusivity while ignoring the girls who will pay the price.
00:17:24.940 Your policies choose boys' wants over girls' needs.
00:17:29.820 Is that not accurate?
00:17:31.000 Is that not absolutely true?
00:17:33.440 I don't understand why that's okay.
00:17:36.680 I don't either.
00:17:37.620 And it's overwhelming.
00:17:40.540 It feels like it's overwhelming.
00:17:42.840 But I'm surprised.
00:17:44.340 What happened to the feminists?
00:17:45.840 Right.
00:17:46.740 Where are the feminists?
00:17:48.780 Where are the women?
00:17:49.440 Now, where's the National Organization for Women?
00:17:52.600 Where are they?
00:17:53.760 Where are they?
00:17:54.700 Are you supporting the trans people?
00:17:57.000 The actual biological man in this case?
00:18:01.020 That's weird.
00:18:01.780 I mean, they have to.
00:18:02.580 That's weird.
00:18:03.040 I bet you they are.
00:18:04.180 I bet you they are.
00:18:05.480 I'll bet they are, too.
00:18:06.280 Because they're so radical.
00:18:08.000 And that is a really progressive and woke thing to do.
00:18:13.680 So what do you want to bet?
00:18:15.340 They support the trans rights over women's rights.
00:18:18.300 I'll bet they do.
00:18:20.120 Which is stunning, if it's true.
00:18:22.940 But I mean, in every case, it's the girls who are being told, yeah, don't worry about it.
00:18:29.600 You got to compete against these boys who think they're girls.
00:18:33.920 And yeah, they're going to use your locker room, too, by the way.
00:18:36.920 And you're going to like it.
00:18:37.720 And your bathroom.
00:18:38.300 And you're going to like it.
00:18:39.320 If you complain about it, then I'm sorry.
00:18:41.580 You're a racist and a hater and a xenophobe and a homophobe and a transophobe.
00:18:46.840 And every other phobe.
00:18:48.620 Every phobe you can possibly have, you have it.
00:18:52.140 Correct.
00:18:53.080 If you think to yourself, what about this phobe?
00:18:55.200 Yes.
00:18:55.880 You're that, too.
00:18:56.740 You're that one, too.
00:18:58.720 I really am amazed that so many athletes at least are speaking out for it.
00:19:07.720 It doesn't.
00:19:08.860 Well, and the ones who haven't get hammered.
00:19:11.480 Yeah, they do.
00:19:13.320 By the vocal crowd.
00:19:15.740 But overwhelmingly, we can't believe in that, right?
00:19:20.340 I wouldn't think so.
00:19:21.280 And, you know, there are some women who have spoken out about it, like Martina Navratilova,
00:19:26.640 who kind of blazed a trail for lesbians in women's tennis.
00:19:32.220 And she is all about women competing against women, not women competing against men.
00:19:38.800 Right.
00:19:39.100 And she's getting hammered for it.
00:19:40.460 And people are all hacked off at her because she won't support the trans rights in this.
00:19:47.200 It's amazing.
00:19:49.000 It's absolutely amazing.
00:19:50.160 Are you still looking for the National Organization for Women?
00:19:54.620 I can't necessarily see that they haven't found that they're for it.
00:19:58.120 Supporting trans.
00:19:58.560 If they're not, then they should be speaking out.
00:20:03.940 Yes.
00:20:05.140 Yes.
00:20:06.700 Yes.
00:20:07.820 How are you not doing that?
00:20:09.480 How, as a feminist, how are you not doing that?
00:20:12.660 It's just bizarre.
00:20:13.840 It sure is.
00:20:14.700 It's just bizarre.
00:20:15.540 Because you're putting, I mean, I don't know what you want to call them, but they're biological
00:20:21.620 men and you're putting the biological men ahead of the women.
00:20:24.640 That's what you're doing.
00:20:26.100 When you support them in the locker room, in the bathroom, and when you support them in
00:20:30.680 women's sports, it just, it's not fair and it's not right.
00:20:35.060 And you shouldn't put women and girls in this situation.
00:20:38.640 14-year-old girls.
00:20:39.740 In fact, because this school board in Virginia won't move on this particular situation.
00:20:46.020 Yeah, this is Loudoun County, man.
00:20:47.660 They're hardcore.
00:20:48.880 Yes, they are.
00:20:49.880 Loudoun County in Virginia.
00:20:51.740 So her parents had to take her out of school.
00:20:54.540 And they're a homeschooler now.
00:20:56.820 Because they're like, no, we're not going to have her subjected to boys in her locker room.
00:21:01.760 No.
00:21:02.700 And good for them.
00:21:03.900 Good for them.
00:21:04.540 But that's a shock to their system as well.
00:21:08.300 Yeah.
00:21:08.440 I mean, they're obviously putting their children first, which is good, especially in this situation.
00:21:14.500 But it doesn't, you know, still doesn't fix the problem.
00:21:19.540 No, it doesn't.
00:21:20.700 No.
00:21:21.240 And the problem is the world's gone mad.
00:21:24.220 We've gone stark raving mad and nothing makes sense anymore.
00:21:28.880 Except this.
00:21:30.120 Did you see the Cristiano Ronaldo?
00:21:32.260 You know who he is?
00:21:32.880 Yes, I do.
00:21:33.680 Soccer player?
00:21:34.820 Oh, yeah.
00:21:35.380 That's right.
00:21:35.940 I love Ronaldo.
00:21:36.240 You like that comedy sport, don't you?
00:21:38.540 You like soccer.
00:21:40.240 Ronaldo's a superstar, man.
00:21:42.140 That guy's a monster.
00:21:43.260 Yeah, he's one of the best ever.
00:21:44.880 I mean, he's got to be worth, I don't know, he may even be a billionaire now.
00:21:47.940 I mean, that guy, everywhere, every country he walks through, they pay him 50 million.
00:21:53.100 Yeah.
00:21:53.440 It's incredible.
00:21:54.380 Now, and this story is being represented like he just threw these Coke bottles away.
00:22:00.500 He did not do that.
00:22:01.880 No.
00:22:02.380 He did not do that.
00:22:03.100 In fact, there's, you know, there's pictures of him off to the side where you can still see the Coke bottles.
00:22:11.520 Here's what he did.
00:22:12.480 Here he is at the press conference where the Coke bottles were set out there for him.
00:22:16.800 Watch this.
00:22:18.560 So he comes in and sits down.
00:22:21.520 Two Coke bottles to his right.
00:22:23.580 Because they're a sponsor of this.
00:22:24.640 Yeah, they're a sponsor.
00:22:25.800 So he grabs the Coke bottles and moves them completely out of sight.
00:22:30.080 And that holds up.
00:22:34.180 And then he says, drink water.
00:22:35.500 Coca-Cola.
00:22:36.080 Not Coca-Cola.
00:22:38.080 Yeah.
00:22:39.100 I mean, they're.
00:22:39.880 Drink water, not Coke.
00:22:41.480 You know what happened to their stock?
00:22:42.780 It went down $4 billion.
00:22:45.460 $4 billion after he did that.
00:22:48.720 Couldn't happen to a nicer company.
00:22:50.240 Could it?
00:22:50.580 And Coca-Cola said, you know, everyone is entitled to their drink preferences.
00:22:54.040 And everyone has different tastes and needs.
00:22:57.260 Uh-huh.
00:22:57.580 And so, you know, they're a sponsor of the big event.
00:23:01.200 This was this big Euro 2020 soccer tournament.
00:23:07.980 And he was, you know, this was before the game against Portugal.
00:23:10.920 But Ronaldo is a lot like me in that he has a strict diet.
00:23:16.840 And he's.
00:23:18.060 Really?
00:23:18.700 Yeah.
00:23:18.840 He's known to avoid sugary foods.
00:23:21.800 And he's, you know, he eats, like me,
00:23:25.260 six clean meals a day.
00:23:28.100 Six clean meals.
00:23:29.160 Because that helps maintain, you know, the physique and the health.
00:23:33.380 And, uh.
00:23:35.520 Is that what that does?
00:23:36.540 Yeah.
00:23:37.100 Huh.
00:23:37.520 Yeah.
00:23:37.960 That's weird.
00:23:38.900 Because Ronaldo and I, I mean.
00:23:40.960 Doesn't look like you're similar at all.
00:23:44.140 Doesn't look like you're on the same regiment at all.
00:23:46.200 Really?
00:23:46.720 Yeah.
00:23:47.040 It doesn't look like it.
00:23:48.620 From where I sit.
00:23:49.720 But he's known for that.
00:23:50.840 Because he looks like he's in shape, but.
00:23:53.240 That's what I was saying.
00:23:54.260 Yeah.
00:23:54.400 I mean, mirror.
00:23:55.520 Whereas you, not so much.
00:23:57.840 Really?
00:23:58.480 Really, yeah.
00:23:59.220 That hurts.
00:23:59.880 That's weird.
00:24:00.780 That's weird.
00:24:01.200 Because I was sick of Ronaldo and I early.
00:24:02.840 No.
00:24:03.760 You're not blood brothers on this, I don't think.
00:24:06.200 I think you're misunderstanding where Ronaldo stands on food.
00:24:10.020 Like before and after kind of thing.
00:24:12.200 But, you know, he's known for that, right?
00:24:14.660 I mean, he's known for.
00:24:15.480 Yes.
00:24:15.740 For all of that.
00:24:16.680 Seriously.
00:24:17.080 So, Coke can be upset all they want.
00:24:20.380 Ronaldo's like, I don't care.
00:24:22.040 You're still the sponsor.
00:24:23.380 And then, like I said, there's pictures of him.
00:24:25.540 He didn't throw them away.
00:24:26.800 He just slid them off because he didn't want them in front of him.
00:24:29.460 Right?
00:24:29.880 But there's still pictures off to the side of him at that press conference where you see
00:24:33.700 the Coke bottles and they're there.
00:24:35.840 So, Coke's still got their sponsorships.
00:24:38.020 And I would like to think that it was because Coke is woke and he was sick of it and he was fed
00:24:44.000 up and so he moved the Coke bottles out of there.
00:24:45.800 But I don't think that was it.
00:24:46.900 I don't think that's the case.
00:24:47.640 It was about the sugary drink, wasn't it?
00:24:49.340 It's too bad.
00:24:49.960 Yeah.
00:24:50.580 Would have been a better story.
00:24:51.960 Well, I mean, just.
00:24:52.840 You know what?
00:24:53.240 It is.
00:24:53.580 It is about that.
00:24:54.380 It's about.
00:24:54.780 It is about that.
00:24:55.480 It's about Coke.
00:24:56.080 Yeah.
00:24:56.400 Well, now those.
00:24:57.220 We had enough.
00:24:58.060 Okay.
00:24:58.780 I don't know that he's actually been quoted ever about that at all.
00:25:01.540 Yeah.
00:25:01.720 Because he probably hasn't at all.
00:25:03.400 I think the soccer players stay out of it.
00:25:05.960 Oh, they have to.
00:25:07.020 More than the NBA and the NFL.
00:25:09.160 Oh, they have to.
00:25:10.160 Yeah.
00:25:10.340 So I am trying to eat healthier and I am.
00:25:13.400 But the thing is, I don't like healthy food.
00:25:16.680 I don't like any of it.
00:25:18.140 You've heard of a fat suit, right?
00:25:19.660 I mean, there's got to be.
00:25:20.840 When are we getting a skinny suit?
00:25:22.280 Something that will make me look skinny because I just want treats all the time.
00:25:26.780 I grew up in a bakery for the love of Pete.
00:25:29.180 The bad news is no skinny suit is coming.
00:25:31.300 You actually have to do the work, blah, blah, blah.
00:25:33.380 That's why I am eating Bilt Bars.
00:25:35.420 It satisfies my sweet tooth, but it's a protein bar, but not like, you know, that's like eating
00:25:40.700 stuff at the bottom of my chalkboard usually.
00:25:43.700 This is 100% real chocolate.
00:25:45.860 It's low carb, low sugar.
00:25:47.780 If I'm eating a protein bar as a treat, come on, you gotta know it's good.
00:25:51.940 And I am.
00:25:52.540 Mint, brownie, cookies, and cream.
00:25:54.160 The new flavors that are coming out all the time, they're fantastic.

00:26:14.280 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:26:16.440 So you were about to tell us how much Americans suck.
00:26:30.020 How bad we suck, yeah.
00:26:31.360 Well, there's a new report on American philanthropy.
00:26:34.500 Last year, we gave zero dollars in charity.
00:26:38.300 None.
00:26:39.500 Zero.
00:26:39.980 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:26:40.640 Is that true?
00:26:41.020 I'm sorry.
00:26:41.520 No, I read that wrong.
00:26:43.260 It was a record-breaking year during COVID-19.
00:26:47.460 Can you believe that?
00:26:48.280 Really?
00:26:48.600 Yeah.
00:26:48.840 Huh.
00:26:49.360 Yeah, that's how much we suck.
00:26:50.880 In spite of an economy that bottomed out and saw paychecks slashed and people lose their jobs.
00:26:58.080 Right.
00:26:59.040 What happened?
00:27:00.840 Charitable giving went up.
00:27:03.260 By a lot.
00:27:05.900 The Giving USA report, they do this every year.
00:27:09.680 This came out Tuesday.
00:27:10.900 It revealed that Americans gave a record, get this, $471 billion to charity in 2020.
00:27:21.560 Are you kidding me?
00:27:23.960 Selfish Americans who are rude and fat and lazy and they don't care about anybody or anything but themselves.
00:27:33.280 Right.
00:27:35.580 $471 billion.
00:27:37.960 That is amazing.
00:27:39.480 The Giving USA Foundation said 2020's levels beat 2019's record of $448 billion by 5.1%.
00:27:48.040 Thank you for doing the math for us.
00:27:50.040 I appreciate that.
00:27:51.180 This all came as the U.S. economy contracted 3.5%, the worst since 1946, and at a time when tens of millions of jobs were lost, leading to almost 15% unemployment last spring.
00:28:06.660 Remember that?
00:28:08.000 When we thought it might go to 40%.
00:28:10.140 Yeah.
00:28:11.040 It just, again, that shows you how resilient the United States of America and our free market system is.
00:28:17.820 And this just shows how giving and caring Americans are.
00:28:23.840 I mean, that's absolutely amazing.
00:28:25.980 You know, this is over and above what the government does.
00:28:30.240 These are private individuals and corporations giving of their own free will.
00:28:35.440 This isn't tax money that's sucked out of you and then sent overseas to somebody you don't have any say over.
00:28:41.260 However, this isn't that.
00:28:42.940 This is you deciding, you know what, I'm going to give to the Cancer Foundation or I'm going to give to hungry children in Africa or Southeast Asia or whatever the case may be.
00:28:55.580 Right.
00:28:55.660 According to the AP, estates and foundations led the increase giving as they saw more people facing greater needs and concerns spurred on by the pandemic and racial justice protests.
00:29:09.600 To me, this is phenomenal because I would have guessed that with the economy the way it was and people losing their jobs the way they were, that charitable giving would have tumbled.
00:29:20.120 I mean, it may have helped Mackenzie Scott gave away another 2.7 billion or something like that the other day.
00:29:27.420 So she may have bumped those averages up this year because I think she had originally sold flame is his wife, his ex-wife.
00:29:35.000 Yeah.
00:29:35.400 2.7 billion.
00:29:36.580 Yeah.
00:29:36.860 And I think total she's given away, I don't know, four or five billion already, maybe more because she's part of the, I'm going to give away all my wealth program before she, before she ends it all.
00:29:49.400 I don't think her husband has that same philosophy.
00:29:52.160 No, he does not.
00:29:53.020 He doesn't.
00:29:53.860 No, he has not joined.
00:29:54.900 You go ahead and do that, pumpkin.
00:29:56.080 I'm not doing it.
00:29:57.040 When they asked him about it originally when she signed on to the, I forget what they call it now, but they asked him about it because Bill Gates and Warren Buffett all signed on to this.
00:30:08.580 And she signed on and they asked Jeff about it.
00:30:10.420 He was like, oh, that's great for her.
00:30:14.040 You know, good for her.
00:30:14.880 And for them.
00:30:15.600 Good for Bill.
00:30:16.160 Good for her.
00:30:16.820 Good for Warren.
00:30:17.740 Good for her.
00:30:18.800 What's her face over there?
00:30:20.100 That's great.
00:30:20.720 She said in her blog post though, that she gave this money away because she wanted to de-emphasize privileged voices.
00:30:27.800 And.
00:30:28.320 Okay.
00:30:28.860 Shut up.
00:30:29.840 She focused to others.
00:30:31.240 Shut up.
00:30:32.040 So she gave money to the list of 286 organizations that she gave money to.
00:30:39.080 That's a lot of money though.
00:30:40.220 I mean, good for her.
00:30:41.580 Correct.
00:30:42.140 Because she doesn't have to do that.
00:30:43.100 Correct.
00:30:43.360 And some will say, well, she's still got another $50 billion.
00:30:47.960 Well, it's so she gave away a lot of money, a lot of money.
00:30:52.520 Now I'm, I'm waiting for the charitable donation to the Chewing the Fat Foundation headed up by Jeff Fisher.
00:31:00.280 Yeah.
00:31:00.400 Let me know when that comes in from McKinsey.
00:31:02.440 Because, uh, you know, willing to help her in that.
00:31:06.360 Me too, frankly, me too.
00:31:09.760 But I don't see that forthcoming.
00:31:11.300 That's her money.
00:31:12.200 She can do what she wants.
00:31:12.820 She can do what she wants with it.
00:31:13.960 And that's great.
00:31:15.060 And that's the whole point of charitable giving.
00:31:17.300 It's not charity.
00:31:18.000 When the government forces it out of your bank account, that's not charity.
00:31:21.960 No, it is not.
00:31:23.140 And.
00:31:23.520 I know they've made a big deal about Biden and Bernie Sanders.
00:31:27.460 You know, they, they give the very least.
00:31:29.520 And how stingy they are.
00:31:30.000 Yeah.
00:31:30.480 Mm-hmm.
00:31:30.940 But that's kind of what they believe in.
00:31:33.200 Uh, according to the, uh, article I read of, and this was a couple of months ago during tax season.
00:31:39.740 Of course, tax season just ended Tuesday here, uh, in Texas.
00:31:43.520 Because we got an extra.
00:31:44.400 Bunch of, uh, many states that just ended.
00:31:46.760 Yeah.
00:31:47.160 Yeah.
00:31:47.460 The ones who were hard hit by extreme, extreme weather.
00:31:50.760 I, there's no way I could get my taxes done because we had four days of really cold weather.
00:31:54.740 I can't, I can't do it.
00:31:57.120 Now, the cold weather was in February and I was supposed to pay in April, but I still couldn't do it.
00:32:02.460 Couldn't get there.
00:32:02.980 I mean, there's another tropical storm out there now ready to hit the coast.
00:32:06.660 Right.
00:32:06.900 They should have delayed it a little bit longer.
00:32:09.980 Yes.
00:32:11.140 Uh, but it's, uh, it's amazing that people still give under all of these, uh, extenuating circumstances.
00:32:20.680 And it just, again, it shows you who Americans are and it shows you the fact that they really believe in doing charity.
00:32:30.060 Right.
00:32:30.460 Not in being forced into giving.
00:32:33.100 We're going to help.
00:32:34.180 If people need the help, we'll help.
00:32:36.940 Exactly.
00:32:37.580 I mean, we see that all the time with Mercury one.
00:32:39.860 Yes.
00:32:40.220 And it's amazing.
00:32:41.740 This audience has been tremendous in that.
00:32:44.280 Phenomenal.
00:32:45.180 And that's America.
00:32:47.400 I thought you were supposed to say how bad we suck.
00:32:49.940 I thought that was the headline for this.
00:32:51.700 Cause I don't feel like we do.
00:32:53.080 Yeah.
00:32:53.300 I don't feel like we do either.
00:32:54.660 Actually, it might've been a tinged slightly in sarcasm.
00:32:59.440 Oh.
00:32:59.880 Yeah.
00:33:00.160 It might've been.
00:33:00.940 Oh, I know.
00:33:01.880 Sorry to disappoint you.
00:33:03.020 Cause I know you were hoping for a really, really bad story on the United States of America,
00:33:07.560 but we lead the world, uh, every year, of course, in charitable giving always have in the history of charitable donations.
00:33:16.380 I mean, I know we've felt like we've come down off the pedestal.
00:33:19.520 Thanks to our president, um, the world stage, but it appears that the rest of the world still waits for America to do something.
00:33:28.500 Yeah, they do.
00:33:29.160 Uh, when, when bad things happen or good things happen, uh, they all wait for America to help out.
00:33:35.820 And so it's funny how that happens.
00:33:38.140 Isn't it?
00:33:38.660 It's funny how that happens.
00:33:39.640 We, we do, you know, suck so bad that, uh, you know, you hate us and we hate ourselves, but what are you guys going to do?
00:33:47.600 Can you help?
00:33:48.220 Yeah.
00:33:48.780 And we suck so badly that we only gave half a trillion dollars in charity last year.
00:33:55.440 Wow.
00:33:56.280 It's amazing.
00:33:57.440 It's just absolutely amazing.
00:33:58.560 Now check with, uh, other populous nations like China, uh, and see what their charitable giving is.
00:34:04.360 Uh, I'd love to see those figures and the do gooders in Europe who always talk about how stingy the United States is.
00:34:13.000 Uh, let's see what their charitable giving looks like.
00:34:16.580 Uh, I think you'll be amazed.
00:34:18.260 Yes, I think so too.
00:34:19.260 Uh, the other thing that is, uh, really cool right now is that, uh, somebody's phone is ringing and I don't know.
00:34:26.220 I don't know where it is, uh, but it's really distracting.
00:34:30.440 I think, yeah, it's still going on.
00:34:32.060 I know.
00:34:32.400 I think it's, uh, someone brought in a briefcase.
00:34:36.080 And it's my phone.
00:34:37.440 I think it is.
00:34:38.040 In my briefcase.
00:34:38.640 I think it is.
00:34:40.260 I don't know.
00:34:41.080 It's still buzzing.
00:34:42.340 All right.
00:34:42.740 We'll have to take care of it here in a minute.
00:34:44.740 But, uh, our governor is fed up with the fact.
00:34:50.740 Thank you, Martin, for taking that out of here.
00:34:52.900 It is that.
00:34:54.100 Uh, it is that.
00:34:55.420 Our, our governor is fed up with the fact that the federal government's not doing their job.
00:34:59.960 And, and so he's tired of people sneaking in illegally to the country.
00:35:04.940 We all believe in, uh, not, not just charity, but also in legal immigration.
00:35:10.800 And we'd love to share what we have with others who would like to bring their uniqueness and
00:35:16.060 add it to our own.
00:35:17.720 Uh, but we don't appreciate when you sneak in here and we don't know what you intend to
00:35:22.560 do, why you're here, who you are, uh, or what you have in mind.
00:35:26.760 It's just, there has to be some kind of order.
00:35:29.520 And that would be nice.
00:35:30.880 Yeah.
00:35:31.140 That would be nice.
00:35:32.040 And we'd also like to maybe know a little bit that you want to be in the United States
00:35:37.220 of America, not just come here to disrupt things.
00:35:41.020 Exactly.
00:35:42.160 And that's why, uh, governor Abbott has decided we're going to build a border wall.
00:35:47.680 Okay.
00:35:48.220 If you won't do it as the federal government, uh, we're going to pledge $250 million right
00:35:55.160 now to get it started, build the Texas wall and build the stinking Texas border wall.
00:35:59.880 And hopefully it'll encircle the state and it'll protect us from everybody coming in here.
00:36:06.280 Californians, New Yorkers.
00:36:07.940 I mean, we'll have a big, beautiful door.
00:36:09.580 Yes, we will.
00:36:10.460 Right.
00:36:10.840 Come in.
00:36:11.360 Right.
00:36:11.560 We've heard about the big, beautiful door and that's fine too.
00:36:14.940 I mean, we want that.
00:36:16.420 We don't want you coming through the big, beautiful door.
00:36:18.580 If you're coming from California with your California attitude and values, cause that doesn't work
00:36:22.780 here.
00:36:23.280 Okay.
00:36:23.760 We've adopted recently some of the California attitude and it's killing the state.
00:36:30.120 That's for sure.
00:36:31.020 Especially in our energy sector.
00:36:33.000 We've got our own grid right now.
00:36:35.960 So what have they decided to do?
00:36:37.680 Since everything was working well, they decided, you know what?
00:36:40.860 We should do all renewable energy.
00:36:42.680 We're going to invest in solar and wind.
00:36:45.140 Wind.
00:36:45.420 Wind.
00:36:46.220 The wind blows all the time, right?
00:36:49.680 Yep.
00:36:50.360 And the sun shines at all times.
00:36:53.160 It's just that you can't see it, but it's still shining at night somewhere for somebody.
00:36:59.560 We'll collect all those rays.
00:37:01.960 And the problem is, you know, they estimate, okay, we'll get 20% from that.
00:37:07.400 No, we got three.
00:37:08.580 We got 3% from solar and wind.
00:37:10.440 Right.
00:37:11.420 And it's killing our grid.
00:37:12.920 Yeah, you know what?
00:37:13.340 We miscalculated.
00:37:14.780 We miscalculated.
00:37:15.840 I mean, that's here.
00:37:17.880 I mean, we've seen it, how it doesn't work in other states.
00:37:22.280 Right.
00:37:22.500 I mean, the California blackout where they were killing people's power.
00:37:26.640 Or the guy actually said, yeah, man, if we only had another hour of daylight, we'd have made it.
00:37:33.320 Yeah.
00:37:33.680 Well, you knew that going in, right?
00:37:35.940 There's going to happen.
00:37:37.760 It's going to be nighttime every day.
00:37:40.340 I mean, there's night.
00:37:41.740 Right.
00:37:42.300 Really?
00:37:42.940 It happens.
00:37:43.400 Yeah.
00:37:43.560 All the time.
00:37:44.140 Not every day.
00:37:44.860 Oh, yeah.
00:37:45.720 Oh, come on.
00:37:46.360 Yeah.
00:37:46.680 It's a little old.
00:37:47.900 Doesn't it?
00:37:48.700 It's happening every day?
00:37:50.800 It does.
00:37:51.220 I know.
00:37:51.900 I mean, it's a big surprise that it got dark out.
00:37:55.360 Anyway, so we're being destroyed, which is why we need the border wall to surround completely.
00:38:02.660 Yes.
00:38:02.880 And I want a border wall so high that if you're standing on the surface of Mars, you'll be able to see it.
00:38:09.020 I'm all right with that.
00:38:10.200 With the naked eye.
00:38:11.240 Now, I'm not even talking a telescope.
00:38:12.700 You're standing on the surface of the Martian planet, and you're looking out towards Earth.
00:38:16.040 Look at that border wall around Texas.
00:38:17.800 Wow, that's awful.
00:38:18.820 Nice.
00:38:20.360 So we'll see.
00:38:20.920 And maybe some other states will follow our lead, like Arizona.
00:38:26.200 They very well might.
00:38:27.480 California and New Mexico need to.
00:38:30.220 Na, na, na, na.
