00:00:00.000 We'll be right back.
00:00:30.000 We'll be right back.
00:00:59.980 Pat and Stu, today marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
00:01:07.660 80 years since the invasion of Normandy.
00:01:11.580 Isn't that amazing?
00:01:12.200 Our cadaver in chief is over there right now, and he has already done his speech on the beach of Normandy.
00:01:21.820 We'll get into that and much more coming up in 60 seconds.
00:01:25.000 Sure, you've got some awesome guns, maybe a whole arsenal of them, and maybe you've got enough ammunition to hold off a small army, if should that ever be necessary.
00:01:35.600 But unfortunately, that doesn't do you a whole lot of good if you can't hit the broad side of a barn when you actually shoot.
00:01:40.660 You need practice, you need to be going to the range, I guess, but of course you do that, and you're using up all the ammunition, and it gets super expensive.

00:02:41.140 Okay.
00:02:41.620 It is D-Day.
00:02:45.260 80 years later.
00:02:46.260 And it was interesting watching Joe Biden there with a few of the veterans that they had who had actually stormed the beaches 80 years ago.
00:02:57.660 You couldn't tell who was who at the time.
00:03:02.360 Was it – was Biden the vet or was it the guy that he was shaking hands with?
00:03:07.860 You couldn't really tell.
00:03:09.320 I mean, these guys are easily 100, right?
00:03:12.780 Because it was –
00:03:13.360 Almost all of them are 100.
00:03:14.380 I think there was one who was 99.
00:03:17.620 The rest are 100 plus because you're going to obviously be probably 20 at least when you storm the beaches.
00:03:24.660 Right.
00:03:24.980 But to be fair to your observation, Biden is a very old 81.
00:03:29.020 Very old.
00:03:29.820 Yeah.
00:03:30.080 Oh, yes.
00:03:30.580 You know, he's not a –
00:03:31.520 Seriously.
00:03:32.040 I think some of the guys, some of the veterans were in better shape than he is.
00:03:35.720 Maybe all of them.
00:03:38.960 I mean, when he waddles up to him, you know, he does that Biden shuffle that is so painful to watch.
00:03:45.500 And he reaches out and says, oh, okay, I'm – I'm begging for your service.
00:03:53.300 You just – it's just – it's painful to watch.
00:03:55.660 The Biden is old content is really interesting to me because sometimes it hits me as really funny and sometimes it hit me as really sad and sometimes it hits me as really scary.
00:04:04.340 And I can't predict which one it's going to be.
00:04:06.280 Like, you telling me that story could have easily terrified me or made me really sad.
00:04:11.620 But that time it made me laugh.
00:04:12.960 Oh, good.
00:04:13.360 I don't know why.
00:04:14.020 I don't know why.
00:04:15.300 I don't know why.
00:04:16.520 It really gives me the entire range of emotions.
00:04:19.340 One of the things that people noticed was that, you know, Macron greeted the veterans first.
00:04:26.500 And then after he was done kissing both cheeks like the Frenchie French do, then Biden came up and you're like, don't kiss him.
00:04:34.200 That's not an American thing.
00:04:36.700 And he did it to some of them.
00:04:40.380 But what was noticed by the audience on my show when I just did this, Pat Gray Unleashed, right before doing this show, many people who were watching noticed that he did not kiss the black veterans.
00:04:55.080 He did kiss the white veterans.
00:04:57.420 Really?
00:04:58.100 Now, that would fit with his character because he's a racist.
00:05:01.840 I believe it.
00:05:03.940 I believe it.
00:05:05.640 Well, I mean, why would you believe that other than all the things he said?
00:05:09.720 Well, other than all the things he said and done, there is no reason, you know.
00:05:13.920 That's true.
00:05:14.620 Just all the evidence that he's put on the record over the past few decades.
00:05:18.320 Right.
00:05:18.820 But other than that, you have nothing.
00:05:20.740 I mean, it's evidence like.
00:05:23.320 In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian Americans moving from India.
00:05:29.820 You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
00:05:37.440 I'm not joking.
00:05:38.380 No, he's not joking.
00:05:39.380 I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright
00:05:48.140 and clean and nice looking guy.
00:05:51.580 Clean?
00:05:52.260 I mean, that's a storybook, man.
00:05:53.980 Wait, they found a storybook, man.
00:05:55.860 It sounds like a storybook.
00:05:56.580 Did they find a clean African-American?
00:05:59.460 Wow.
00:05:59.940 Apparently, yes.
00:06:00.860 Wow.
00:06:01.260 That's a storybook, man.
00:06:02.840 I know.
00:06:03.380 Right?
00:06:04.080 Who would have thought it was possible?
00:06:06.340 Not Joe Biden.
00:06:08.040 That's for sure.
00:06:09.280 I don't know how he survived that politically.
00:06:10.800 How did he survive that?
00:06:12.460 It's one of the worst things ever said in American politics.
00:06:15.460 And he was fine.
00:06:16.460 Everybody was fine with it.
00:06:19.340 Guy went from that to President of the United States?
00:06:22.220 How is that possible?
00:06:23.380 And the guy he's talking about, he was his Vice President.
00:06:26.460 Yeah.
00:06:26.600 I mean, think of what that moment must have been like Barack Obama, who really, really
00:06:33.220 wanted to be President of the United States, and by the way, was motivated by racism to
00:06:38.760 make that decision.
00:06:39.760 His idea was that us Americans couldn't accept two people of color on the same ticket, so he
00:06:49.240 had to go with an old white guy.
00:06:50.920 I mean, that's been documented.
00:06:53.460 That's why he picked Biden.
00:06:54.980 He wanted an old white guy.
00:06:56.600 Because he thought it would make racists comfortable.
00:06:59.720 It would be a more palatable ticket at that point.
00:07:02.120 Yeah.
00:07:02.380 The people who couldn't deal with Barack Obama on the ticket got an old white guy, so you
00:07:07.160 could at least attach yourself to them.
00:07:08.460 Because, you know, America's racist.
00:07:09.740 But seriously, that's what the Obamas believe about America.
00:07:12.780 That's what they believed.
00:07:13.540 And so that's why they picked him.
00:07:14.620 So he went, but I mean, imagine picking this guy who was fascinated, amazed, his imagination
00:07:22.680 opened by the fact that they found a clean black guy.
00:07:26.600 And you're like, ah, let's pick him.
00:07:28.260 Well, when you put it that way, it sounds really bad.
00:07:31.060 I mean, somebody in the room must have put it that way to him.
00:07:33.560 Yeah.
00:07:34.180 Somebody on Obama's staff, wait, you're going to pick the guy.
00:07:38.080 I just want to make sure we're doing it.
00:07:39.300 We're all on board here.
00:07:41.520 We're picking the guy who is amazed we were clean.
00:07:45.460 That's the guy we're going with.
00:07:48.440 Was that ever said?
00:07:49.520 You think that was brought up?
00:07:50.920 I mean, it had to be, right?
00:07:52.580 Somebody had to say it.
00:07:54.140 Think of all the conversation.
00:07:55.320 I think about this sometimes when you think about these big politicians, meetings that
00:07:59.360 we've had over the years with our own Glenn Beck.
00:08:01.500 And every once in a while, something's going on, and one of us will just, hold on a second.
00:08:07.500 Are we really doing this?
00:08:09.900 We had this moment a couple weeks ago when Glenn was going to come on and do the show
00:08:17.560 moments after his eye surgery was completed.
00:08:20.900 Oh, right.
00:08:21.300 And like, I had to just be like, hey, guys, maybe he shouldn't be.
00:08:26.520 You sure you want to do that?
00:08:26.980 He, we have a vision.
00:08:28.680 We haven't even, he couldn't, he literally couldn't open his eyes.
00:08:32.260 He couldn't read news stories.
00:08:34.160 He couldn't read commercial scripts.
00:08:36.360 They were sutured shut.
00:08:37.600 And he was just going to come on and do the show.
00:08:38.960 And I said, guys, hey, I don't know.
00:08:41.680 Should we maybe consider letting the guys sleep for a day?
00:08:46.260 And that is like the type of thing that happens, right?
00:08:49.600 Like, I think, I do think behind the scenes of these politicians, at least some of them,
00:08:54.360 and Obama strikes me as the type that would have this conversation.
00:08:57.460 Like, he'd have people around him, and he'd have people who would question him on that
00:09:01.200 point, right?
00:09:01.940 People who were not willing to take the old white guy.
00:09:06.100 Who would have said, it can't be Joe Biden.
00:09:08.420 Right.
00:09:09.100 Remember what he said?
00:09:10.620 I bet the same type of conversation happened with Biden's advisors when you're like, wait
00:09:16.280 a minute, we're going to select the woman who said we were racist for busing?
00:09:22.280 Right.
00:09:22.580 The busing?
00:09:23.100 Oh my gosh.
00:09:23.840 We're going to take that Kamala Harris and put her on our ticket after what she did in
00:09:28.040 front of the American people?
00:09:29.060 We're going to do that?
00:09:29.820 Right.
00:09:30.000 There had to have, you had to have those conversations.
00:09:32.200 Had to.
00:09:32.760 And this is what reminds you how much these people want power.
00:09:35.840 Oh my gosh.
00:09:36.260 They'll do anything.
00:09:37.820 They'll overlook anything.
00:09:39.020 People, they called Joe Biden a racist who is ruining the lives of young black little
00:09:47.860 girls, ruining their lives.
00:09:50.880 Yeah.
00:09:51.300 And he's like, will she help me?
00:09:53.600 Now, he was wrong that she would help, but the fact that he thought that it would help
00:09:57.980 him, the slightest bit was enough for him to overlook, I mean, look, people call people
00:10:05.980 racist all the time, online, whatever else, but like, if someone called you a racist to
00:10:11.340 your face, you've been, Pat Gregg, you've been ruining the lives of adorable little girls
00:10:17.240 of color across the country.
00:10:20.240 You're a terrible person.
00:10:21.800 You're a racist.
00:10:22.900 Can I have your, the highest level job in your organization?
00:10:26.980 No.
00:10:27.420 No.
00:10:27.880 No.
00:10:28.820 No.
00:10:29.380 Is the answer to that.
00:10:30.440 Right.
00:10:30.780 Every time.
00:10:31.820 Unless you're a politician.
00:10:32.380 It would be like doing the show with the person who said that about you.
00:10:35.020 Yeah.
00:10:35.620 It would be like that.
00:10:37.080 Who you despised in every way.
00:10:39.180 Yeah.
00:10:39.480 And like, look, sometimes there are, there have been radio shows where that has happened,
00:10:42.880 right?
00:10:43.320 Yeah, I'm sure.
00:10:44.360 But like, they don't end up very well.
00:10:46.900 You know, and people look at it and like, well, that's how open-minded they are.
00:10:50.680 Well, that's how, uh, that's how forgiving they are.
00:10:53.800 No.
00:10:54.480 No.
00:10:54.840 No.
00:10:55.100 They weren't forgiving.
00:10:55.780 They're just, that's how calculating they are.
00:10:56.840 They're willing to do it anyway.
00:10:59.360 Right.
00:10:59.540 It's two things.
00:11:00.200 It's one, they want power so badly.
00:11:02.300 So they'll overlook anything to get it.
00:11:04.500 And two, a lot of the stuff said isn't actually real.
00:11:08.500 Well, that's true.
00:11:09.040 Like, it's like, did Kamala Harris really think Joe Biden was some racist ruining her life?
00:11:14.200 Probably not.
00:11:14.900 But she wanted power so badly, she would say anything about him.
00:11:18.680 Yeah.
00:11:18.920 These people are all trash.
00:11:21.300 Yeah.
00:11:21.700 They are all human garbage.
00:11:23.960 They are.
00:11:24.240 We are, we have a city, Washington, D.C. filled with human garbage, and they're making all
00:11:31.560 of the rules that, that, that guide your existence.
00:11:35.540 Congratulations, America.
00:11:36.640 We did it.
00:11:37.420 It's really sad, but it is true.
00:11:38.800 On D-Day, celebrate.
00:11:41.320 Celebrate the hard work they put in so that we could screw it up.
00:11:45.300 Yeah.
00:11:45.440 Ugh.
00:11:46.500 So, yes.
00:11:47.560 I really do believe he's a racist, and so I do believe that the lack of a kiss on the
00:11:53.100 black veterans.
00:11:54.200 I forgot that's how we started this.
00:11:55.800 It's part of his racism.
00:11:56.740 If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
00:12:02.200 Ah, there you go.
00:12:03.300 And then the other-
00:12:03.940 And it was hard.
00:12:04.620 You know, the even worse comment, and I don't know if I can find it right now, but the worst
00:12:09.120 comment along those lines was that he was speaking to that Hispanic conference, and
00:12:18.760 he said, unlike Hispanics, blacks all vote the same, or something to that effect.
00:12:25.320 That wasn't the exact comment, but it was something to that effect, that, you know, blacks all
00:12:32.400 vote alike.
00:12:33.380 I mean, that is, in itself, really racist.
00:12:36.840 The assumption there that they're voting as a collective, they have the same mindset,
00:12:44.500 and there's not going to be any differences, is just racist.
00:12:49.420 It is.
00:12:51.000 I think you, it's very revealing as to how they think of African Americans, though.
00:12:57.500 Yes, it is.
00:12:58.560 The you ain't black thing, the comment you're speaking of, like, those are central to their
00:13:04.240 philosophy about black people, which is that they are a constituency that is not worth trying
00:13:16.000 to do anything for.
00:13:17.280 They've got them already.
00:13:18.240 Right.
00:13:19.080 These are, this is money in the bank for them.
00:13:21.540 Yeah.
00:13:21.820 And you're starting to see that be overturned by the younger generation of African Americans.
00:13:25.740 It's worked pretty well for them for a long time.
00:13:27.780 For Democrats for 60 years.
00:13:28.640 Yeah.
00:13:28.860 But it's starting to backfire now.
00:13:30.880 Yeah.
00:13:31.340 Thank heaven it is.
00:13:33.280 But, I mean, by backfire, so black support among Democrats has gone from about 9% to, what,
00:13:41.160 20?
00:13:41.440 20.
00:13:41.820 I mean, it's not.
00:13:42.480 Somewhere in there.
00:13:43.080 It's not.
00:13:43.300 This can be and has been overstated.
00:13:44.940 It should be 90, but it isn't.
00:13:46.160 We should know this can and has been overstated a lot in the media lately.
00:13:50.740 Yeah, it has.
00:13:50.920 Especially in conservative media.
00:13:52.120 But, I mean, that's a big change.
00:13:53.280 It's a huge change and it's notable, but, like, you know, the idea that, like, this is,
00:13:58.500 this has changed completely is, there's not a lot of evidence of that.
00:14:02.180 What we've seen is some movement.
00:14:03.700 Right.
00:14:03.920 But, I mean, you know, 9 to 20 is a big move.
00:14:06.380 It is.
00:14:06.780 You know, you're seeing the same thing.
00:14:07.680 Especially in one season.
00:14:09.880 Yeah, one campaign season.
00:14:11.500 One election cycle.
00:14:13.960 Yeah.
00:14:14.260 So, it is definitely worth noting.
00:14:16.080 I just, it can't, the effects of, again, it's, and it's 10 points of a population that
00:14:21.400 only makes up about 12% of the population.
00:14:23.680 So, you're talking about a fraction of a fraction here.
00:14:26.560 But those 10 points will help a lot.
00:14:28.340 Yeah, and also, these are also individuals.
00:14:30.920 Right.
00:14:31.620 And it's very, very positive.
00:14:33.380 Wait, they're individuals?
00:14:34.360 Yeah.
00:14:34.520 They don't vote as a bloc?
00:14:35.760 No, they don't.
00:14:36.400 All with the same mindset?
00:14:38.820 They don't all think alike?
00:14:39.980 Yeah, it's weird.
00:14:40.980 That is weird.
00:14:41.660 Yeah.
00:14:42.160 None of them are good looking, though.
00:14:43.420 Right.
00:14:44.200 None of them are clean, apparently.
00:14:46.760 That we've learned from our freaking president.
00:14:50.260 More coming up in one minute.
00:14:53.060 All right, let me tell you about Mark.
00:14:55.000 He lives in Washington, and he's had a relief factor story.
00:14:58.660 Mark was involved with a bad injury.
00:15:00.660 Afterward, he found himself living daily with nagging back pain.
00:15:04.340 Gee, Pat, you can't relate to that at all.
00:15:05.640 Oh, not at all.
00:15:06.500 Not at all.
00:15:07.000 It's only been like 45 years.
00:15:08.820 Oh, that's it?
00:15:09.360 Back pain for me, yeah.
00:15:10.320 No, that's not.
00:15:10.760 So I can't relate.
00:15:11.540 Don't worry about that.
00:15:12.440 He found himself living with this pain, and it often came with a side order of pain and
00:15:16.420 numbness in his leg.
00:15:17.840 He was desperate for some kind of relief, something drug-free, and thankfully, he found
00:15:21.500 relief factor.
00:15:22.760 The pain went from being unbearable to minimal.
00:15:25.500 It's been a blessing, he says, noting that he loves the fact that he can just adjust
00:15:29.200 how much he's taking according to what he needs for managing his aches and pains.
00:15:32.420 Glenn has been where Mark was, and you might be there as well.
00:15:36.800 Relief Factor helped him get his life back.

00:16:06.040 10 seconds.
00:16:06.540 Station ID.
00:16:06.920 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
00:16:18.180 Here was Biden shuffling around in Normandy.
00:16:22.580 This is, it's going to make you feel proud as an American.
00:16:26.460 It really is.
00:16:27.240 Watch this.
00:16:30.400 He's on his way with Macron.
00:16:33.140 Macron's got to hold himself back, obviously, because he's, oh yeah, that's right.
00:16:39.460 This guy's 106.
00:16:41.200 I got to slow down.
00:16:42.460 All right.
00:16:43.180 And you can tell it's agonizing for him.
00:16:44.880 That's actually a tough thing to do.
00:16:46.400 Yeah, it is.
00:16:46.920 If you ever have an elderly resident.
00:16:47.740 It is.
00:16:48.040 I had a friend who had an injury, and I was walking, I had a long walk with him, and it
00:16:54.540 was like, it was hard to even, because you don't know how to slow down.
00:16:58.180 It feels so awkward, but you don't want to be rude and walk ahead.
00:17:01.200 At least with my dad, what I wanted to do was put my hand on his back and kind of push
00:17:05.280 him along.
00:17:05.740 Right, yeah, yeah.
00:17:06.280 They don't want to be pushed.
00:17:07.760 No?
00:17:08.100 Like that.
00:17:08.580 No.
00:17:08.800 No, they don't.
00:17:09.080 At least my dad.
00:17:09.760 Maybe it was just him.
00:17:10.660 Yeah.
00:17:11.080 Maybe he didn't enjoy that.
00:17:11.920 I think most elderly people like to be pushed.
00:17:14.080 Yeah, I think that's.
00:17:15.260 Just, I'm helping.
00:17:16.620 All I'm doing is helping you move.
00:17:17.880 Helping.
00:17:18.220 Let's go.
00:17:18.580 We've got to get there.
00:17:19.600 Come on.
00:17:19.920 You're walking at a pace.
00:17:21.640 It's too slow.
00:17:22.060 That is too slow.
00:17:23.100 Too slow.
00:17:24.000 And most of the time, it's not that they mentally don't want to go faster.
00:17:28.000 Right.
00:17:28.140 It's that their body is limiting them.
00:17:30.160 That's typically the thing.
00:17:31.220 Yeah, they can't.
00:17:31.500 The pushing doesn't help in this situation.
00:17:33.860 It actually does not.
00:17:35.480 No.
00:17:35.760 That's what I found anyway, in the long run with my dad.
00:17:38.380 Yeah.
00:17:38.740 Toward the end there.
00:17:39.860 So you're aware of this bubbling online controversy about a moment during today's festivities
00:17:47.380 where, and this is a little, I'm just going to throw this out there.
00:17:52.660 This is not my observation.
00:17:54.920 People believe that there's a moment where he sort of stops and it looks like he's almost
00:17:58.780 sitting in an invisible chair for about.
00:18:01.320 Oh, yes.
00:18:01.980 I am aware of that.
00:18:02.800 For several seconds.
00:18:03.440 And there's some speculation.
00:18:04.480 I think we have that, don't we?
00:18:05.700 Do we have that?
00:18:06.720 Is that the one where, no?
00:18:08.440 Oh, okay.
00:18:08.940 There's speculation as to that he may have, he may have been pooping.
00:18:13.560 Now, I don't, it's not my speculation.
00:18:15.500 That is, it is trending on Twitter right now.
00:18:21.680 I saw the moment people are talking about, he's kind of bent over like he's, well, pooping.
00:18:27.180 But I don't know that he was.
00:18:29.000 I don't know.
00:18:29.640 You don't know that he was.
00:18:31.000 Do you know that he was not?
00:18:31.880 I don't know that he was.
00:18:32.520 No, I do not.
00:18:33.300 So you don't know either way.
00:18:34.240 Either way.
00:18:34.800 You have no information.
00:18:35.700 I don't have any information on that.
00:18:37.620 You can't tell.
00:18:38.900 I can't.
00:18:39.340 I will say, look, I don't know what he was doing there.
00:18:43.520 I will say, if you were in a moment where you were on stage and this had to happen, that's
00:18:49.420 what it looks like.
00:18:50.620 I would think so, yes.
00:18:51.680 That's what it looks like.
00:18:52.980 I think if you had to, if you needed to do something like that in that moment, this would
00:19:00.100 approximate the physical actions that would occur if you were doing that.
00:19:05.240 But that doesn't mean he was doing it.
00:19:07.280 It does look like he was doing it.
00:19:09.740 But that, it doesn't, it doesn't mean he was.
00:19:13.700 And that's something that's important.
00:19:15.220 Right.
00:19:15.420 Well, it was a long flight.
00:19:16.500 I'm sure they packed some Depends for the trip.
00:19:19.900 And so it's quite possible that, in fact, he was relieving himself there.
00:19:24.380 And to be like, I mean, we always want to be fair to the other side.
00:19:27.840 Why else do you have them if you can't do that?
00:19:30.680 Right?
00:19:31.100 Like, why do you put them on?
00:19:32.380 Well, you've put them on for no reason.
00:19:34.400 If you don't use them.
00:19:36.080 A weapon unused is a useless weapon.
00:19:38.640 And if you don't have, if you got the Depends on and don't make use of them, what is the
00:19:47.560 point of your assistant putting them on your legs in the first place?
00:19:50.520 All you do is you have this bulky underwear now.
00:19:53.480 Yeah.
00:19:54.560 You don't want that?
00:19:55.540 Why did Anthony Blinken slide them up your legs in the first place?
00:19:59.080 Was it Anthony?
00:20:00.000 I assume.
00:20:00.720 He gets that duty?
00:20:01.480 I think that's his gig.
00:20:02.760 Why else does he have the gig?
00:20:04.000 No one else can explain that.
00:20:05.340 No, you can't.
00:20:06.240 Well, he does play guitar.
00:20:08.480 Oh, yeah.
00:20:08.800 That's true.
00:20:09.260 Yeah.
00:20:09.520 I forgot about the guitar thing.
00:20:10.400 So there's that.
00:20:12.040 So I don't know.
00:20:12.860 I mean, I feel like at this point, it is unclear what he was doing on stage.
00:20:17.920 Did you ever think there'd be a time in American history where we'd be talking about whether
00:20:21.700 or not the president of the United States was on stage pooping into his Depends adult diapers?
00:20:26.520 Did you ever feel like there'll come a time when we do that?
00:20:31.780 No.
00:20:32.280 And then here we are.
00:20:34.180 Here we are.
00:20:35.020 Honestly, and I've said this in the past, I know, but I really thought things were bad
00:20:39.380 during Obama.
00:20:41.360 Yeah.
00:20:41.540 I thought they were bad under Clinton.
00:20:43.600 Yeah.
00:20:44.280 I thought they were terrible under Biden.
00:20:46.700 Mm-hmm.
00:20:47.480 But you couldn't have even foreseen how bad they've become under this guy.
00:20:53.600 Can you imagine what a second term of this will be like?
00:20:56.400 Oh.
00:20:56.640 I can't even comprehend it.
00:20:58.540 I swear he could not make a second term.
00:21:00.320 He couldn't make it all the way through.
00:21:01.440 I mean, do you think he'd even try?
00:21:03.560 I feel like he'd get in and halfway through say, all right, I mean, it's probably time.
00:21:07.080 And then give it to Kamala, give her a couple years of runway to do whatever she's going
00:21:10.800 to do.
00:21:11.100 If he wouldn't do that, and I don't know, he would.
00:21:14.160 They'd have to invoke the 25th Amendment.
00:21:16.140 They'd have to remove him from office.
00:21:18.340 I really believe that.
00:21:19.380 Well, we've never tried that one before.
00:21:21.180 Nope.
00:21:22.060 You know.
00:21:22.500 It's the first time for everything, though.
00:21:23.340 First time for everything.
00:21:24.200 Again, a weapon unused is a useless weapon.
00:21:25.920 Glenn Beck.

00:22:53.220 Pat and Stu for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.
00:23:21.360 We've been talking about the trip that the president has made to Normandy.
00:23:34.900 It is the 80th commemoration of the invasion of Normandy and D-Day itself.
00:23:42.200 Just absolutely incredible that it's been 80 years.
00:23:49.180 And we were talking along the way about some of the racist things, and it sparked because
00:23:54.440 the president did the Frenchie French kiss on the cheek thing to a few of the white veterans,
00:24:01.500 but apparently avoided the black veterans.
00:24:05.000 If anybody's got, you know, a video that contradicts that, I'd love to see it, because that's what
00:24:09.400 I wasn't, I was on the air while it was happening, so I didn't see every single second of it.
00:24:14.660 And I don't want to get this wrong, but it appeared that he didn't kiss the black vets.
00:24:22.380 Wow.
00:24:22.820 And so we were talking about some of his racist comments and actions in the past.
00:24:29.080 I referenced this.
00:24:31.100 Unlike the African-American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community.
00:24:37.780 Wow.
00:24:38.860 But not the blacks.
00:24:40.340 So unlike black people, Latinos should be treated as individuals.
00:24:47.140 Right.
00:24:47.880 Okay.
00:24:48.400 Right.
00:24:48.840 Okay.
00:24:49.840 Yeah.
00:24:50.240 The blacks, though?
00:24:51.400 They all think alike.
00:24:52.360 Ah, yeah.
00:24:53.020 They're all the same.
00:24:53.980 All the same.
00:24:54.840 That doesn't sound racist at all.
00:24:56.480 Not at all.
00:24:57.260 No.
00:24:57.700 No, not at all.
00:24:58.460 Apparently, it didn't to many, because they didn't get any flack except for Maas.
00:25:02.920 But, I mean, for the New York Times and Washington Post and NBC, ABC, CBS, do we all ignore that?
00:25:10.880 And they act like they've never seen any evidence of any of this stuff.
00:25:15.540 That's why, I mean, we talked about this yesterday.
00:25:17.600 The articles that appeared in Time Magazine and the Wall Street Journal, I think are really important milestones, because it shows the evidence that these things are building up so much, and there's so much evidence, it can't be ignored anymore.
00:25:32.840 You know, the fact that he's this feeble and that he's had this kind of cognitive decline, and yet the White House continues to say, he's sharper than ever.
00:25:43.720 They can't, they've seen enough of it now to where they just can't, they can't stay on that bandwagon.
00:25:52.540 Yeah.
00:25:53.160 And a lot of that comes back to the conversation we had earlier about how desperate for power the people in this industry are.
00:26:01.660 That, you know, look, they're not looking at this and trying to say things that are rational.
00:26:06.180 They're trying to say the things that will allow them to keep the jobs they have, right?
00:26:11.280 Like, no, everyone on Earth, and this includes every liberal you know, everyone on Earth looks at Joe Biden and is obviously aware he cannot do this job.
00:26:23.620 They all know it.
00:26:24.740 This is not, this is not, it's not something unique that we've thought up.
00:26:28.680 It's not some incredible observation with all of our intellect.
00:26:33.540 We've all on the right come up with this incredible insight into, it's blatantly obvious to everyone with eyes.
00:26:41.640 We're not divulging state secrets.
00:26:43.360 No.
00:26:44.440 They all know what you know.
00:26:47.380 Everybody does.
00:26:48.340 You can't help but, which is why it's discussed so often in Australia.
00:26:52.740 Have you ever watched the Australian, what channel is it?
00:26:55.680 It's one, I don't know.
00:26:56.420 It's one of their channels that, Channel 4 or something, that they almost on a nightly basis mock our president because they have noticed, they're the Fox News of Australia, and they show it far more than any American media ever.
00:27:12.140 And they highlight his feebleness and his cognitive disabilities and the fact that he might have pooped his pants, for instance, on stage.
00:27:24.220 I'm sure they'll probably show that.
00:27:26.420 Because you mentioned that he's bent over like he might be going to the bathroom in his pants.
00:27:31.780 In the process of something.
00:27:33.420 Sort of like Al Roker at that, you know, at the White House meeting.
00:27:36.440 You pooped in your pants.
00:27:37.160 I pooped my pants.
00:27:38.520 Yeah.
00:27:38.900 Pretty soon we might have Joe Biden admitting that.
00:27:41.700 You pooped in your pants.
00:27:42.440 I pooped my pants.
00:27:43.760 Was that, what was the context of that again?
00:27:46.300 He went to visit the White House.
00:27:47.780 Yeah.
00:27:47.980 And he had some, he ate something he wasn't supposed to.
00:27:52.740 Okay.
00:27:53.340 And...
00:27:53.780 You pooped in your pants.
00:27:54.340 I pooped my pants.
00:27:55.700 That's a, what an amazing thing to admit on television.
00:27:59.400 Isn't it?
00:28:00.100 Yeah.
00:28:00.280 That's incredible.
00:28:01.040 You know you're on TV, right?
00:28:02.340 You know you're, there's a camera right there.
00:28:04.660 And a microphone that you put on.
00:28:07.040 Was it under the premise of like, I need to help inform people of this type of ailment or whatever.
00:28:11.720 It was one of those type of things.
00:28:12.720 Well, didn't he start his weight loss with the surgery?
00:28:15.760 I think he had the stomach stable or whatever.
00:28:17.940 And so I think this was in the context of warning people that if you eat bad things after the surgery, bad things are going to happen.
00:28:25.580 Okay.
00:28:26.100 And it happened to him at the White House.
00:28:28.440 You pooped in your pants.
00:28:29.040 I pooped my pants.
00:28:30.220 I pooped my pants.
00:28:31.580 But I don't care how much you want to help people.
00:28:35.420 If it were me, I'm not admitting that.
00:28:38.060 The most incredible part of that interview is that was her first question.
00:28:42.400 She just walked right in and went...
00:28:43.880 So Al, you pooped your pants.
00:28:45.200 You pooped in your pants.
00:28:45.880 I pooped my pants.
00:28:47.420 Okay.
00:28:47.880 Welcome to the show, Al.
00:28:52.840 Well, I guess we'll get more information on it.
00:28:54.940 Maybe they'll make a public statement.
00:28:56.600 Peter Doocy might ask about it.
00:28:59.280 It's possible.
00:28:59.500 Mr. President.
00:29:00.200 Mr. President.
00:29:00.780 Did you poop your pants at Normandy the other day?
00:29:05.920 I'll give him $100 if he'll...
00:29:07.460 I'll chip in $100.
00:29:08.720 I would say, like, and I, you know, look, I think he asked some tough questions.
00:29:11.540 I like that he's there doing that.
00:29:12.680 But that would not be detailed enough because it would not limit it to the moment we're talking about it.
00:29:18.960 It would keep it too open.
00:29:20.160 Of course, at some point while he was in Normandy, he pooped his pants.
00:29:22.980 I'm talking about that particular moment in front of the crowd.
00:29:26.160 We all know he did it at some point.
00:29:28.340 Obviously.
00:29:29.160 I mean, obviously.
00:29:29.680 I mean, jeez.
00:29:30.860 He's 81.
00:29:31.840 He doesn't have that.
00:29:32.440 That would allow them to get out of it.
00:29:34.020 Yeah.
00:29:34.160 They'd be like, well, of course I did.
00:29:36.560 But it wasn't there.
00:29:37.940 It was at another location.
00:29:39.400 Now, how can we mock the president this mercilessly?
00:29:42.940 He is spry and sharp.
00:29:44.980 And here's a shot of him walking across the stage at Normandy.
00:29:48.580 He's getting ready to take his place and getting ready for his speech.
00:29:52.920 Look at it.
00:29:54.420 You talk about vitality.
00:29:56.680 Vim.
00:29:57.740 Vigor.
00:29:58.120 It's actually, it's so much more hilarious because of the music.
00:30:04.460 It's like Olympics music where you're normally used to seeing like 25 year olds in perfect
00:30:09.720 physical condition who run marathons and jump over really high things and, and, you know,
00:30:15.820 incredible athletic achievements.
00:30:18.060 And then you just, you just see Joe Biden shuffling across the stage.
00:30:24.700 He's probably not about to run a 10 second, a hundred meters there.
00:30:29.040 I get the impression that maybe he can sit.
00:30:32.920 And that's about the extent of his athletic prowess.
00:30:36.020 He can sit, see, he can sit and he can stand for a few minutes.
00:30:41.520 With help.
00:30:41.760 After his speech, he went back to his seat and he was trying, everybody else was standing.
00:30:47.200 And Jill was like, stand up.
00:30:49.180 You can tell she gets irritated with him because I think he's been given instructions and he
00:30:53.280 can't follow him.
00:30:54.340 And she doesn't want him to screw it up.
00:30:58.820 It's a hard part of life when you're with someone who's aging in that way.
00:31:03.060 Like there are moments and you feel terrible about it afterward, but there are moments where
00:31:07.380 you get frustrated.
00:31:08.400 You know, I've had, I've had relatives who've had this go on and, and, and I've talked to
00:31:13.960 them about how they live with an elderly relative and, and like, I want it.
00:31:18.980 We're going shopping and like, it takes forever to get in and out of the store.
00:31:22.660 And like, you just want them to, it's tough.
00:31:25.180 It's tough to deal with.
00:31:26.080 And I think that's hard.
00:31:26.960 And that's, you know, I guess defend Jill a little bit with her seeming anger toward
00:31:32.680 Joe, but it is true.
00:31:34.440 It's hard to deal with that.
00:31:35.860 It is hard.
00:31:36.280 Yeah.
00:31:36.440 I mentioned on my show that my mom would get irritated with my dad toward the end of
00:31:40.180 his life because he started to slow down.
00:31:42.260 She'd be like, Joe, can you pick up your feet?
00:31:46.380 But he kind of couldn't, but her, her thought process was he's making himself this way because
00:31:52.740 he won't push himself a little bit.
00:31:54.620 Right.
00:31:54.980 So she tried to push him a little bit and how that work, but he wasn't the, it didn't work
00:31:59.720 well, but he wasn't the president of the United States of America.
00:32:03.520 Yeah.
00:32:03.880 That's the kind of subtle difference.
00:32:06.040 Right.
00:32:06.260 This is a good point.
00:32:07.100 Cause you know, and people will say, you're just mocking your people on the Democrats or
00:32:12.240 your political opponents.
00:32:13.520 Like when's the last time we mocked Jimmy Carter for being old?
00:32:17.440 Like I don't.
00:32:18.220 Yeah.
00:32:18.420 No, not at all.
00:32:19.640 Like the guy's first, first of all, he's been in hospice for approximately 15 years.
00:32:23.000 I don't know what's going on.
00:32:24.160 Like this is like, whatever they're doing at this hospice, they should really like farm
00:32:28.160 out to other communities.
00:32:29.340 Cause he's doing really well there.
00:32:30.500 And he's literally a hundred, isn't he?
00:32:32.740 Or did he, is he about to, he's either a hundred now or about to turn a hundred and
00:32:37.320 we don't mercilessly mock him because he's not president of the United States at this
00:32:42.000 time.
00:32:42.300 Exactly.
00:32:42.720 I, I, I, you feel for people as they get older and honestly, like it has nothing to
00:32:47.400 do with people in their eighties.
00:32:48.980 We, you know, there's plenty, we have them on the show.
00:32:51.440 Alan Dershowitz is the example I always go back to because he's so ridiculously sharp.
00:32:56.180 Like I, he's so on top of his game at 84 years old, um, that it, that it stands out, but this
00:33:03.420 is not uncommon, right?
00:33:04.680 Like what we're asking of the president of the United States is not some crazy request.
00:33:10.820 What we're asking for is for some, someone who can, I don't know, occasionally move around
00:33:15.000 stage would be nice, but I could deal with, we've had presidents in wheelchairs.
00:33:18.920 Like I can deal with, with even that.
00:33:21.080 It's the mental part of it that really bothers me.
00:33:23.340 And like, I'm not going to mock a guy for being old.
00:33:26.780 There's nothing, there's nothing like, there's nothing wrong with being old.
00:33:30.360 We all get there.
00:33:31.660 It's going to happen to all of us.
00:33:32.160 We're all blessed if we get to the point.
00:33:34.600 Yeah.
00:33:35.120 For a very long time, people didn't make it to their eighties to, to, to, to have the
00:33:39.360 mental acuity drop off of Joe Biden.
00:33:41.860 It wasn't a great achievement of American society that we all died before we lost our marbles,
00:33:47.940 right?
00:33:48.520 Like that's not, I'm glad we have extended lives and a lot of people get to the chance
00:33:53.200 where people now die of things that are totally different, right?
00:33:57.180 They don't die at 45 as, as often they die much older.
00:34:00.440 And with that aging process comes a whole new slew of problems.
00:34:04.920 But what you want to kind of avoid, what I tend to try to avoid is to put someone who's
00:34:11.000 going through that process running the freaking country.
00:34:14.840 But that's just the type of thing that maybe we should look out for in the future.
00:34:19.800 I just don't understand why it has to be denied.
00:34:25.300 Look, the guy became president for a couple of reasons as far as his campaign went, which
00:34:32.980 was number one, a return to normalcy, which we have not received.
00:34:36.220 Whatever he was promising as far as this normal middle of the road guy was not reality.
00:34:41.100 Did not happen.
00:34:41.800 Did not happen at all in any way, shape, or form.
00:34:47.280 And what, and what pisses me off, all of what you said is the absolute truth.
00:34:51.500 And yet, we're continually lied to by the people who are closest to him and get things like
00:34:57.740 this told to us.
00:34:59.100 Adrienne Elrod, cut nine, listen to this.
00:35:02.560 I can tell you that he is sharper than ever.
00:35:06.500 And again, I want to go back and really underscore the fact that his record is very strong.
00:35:11.240 He's achieved more as president than at least the past four to five presidents before him.
00:35:17.740 Uh, you cannot get that done if you don't have all of your faculties about.
00:35:22.520 Yeah.
00:35:22.720 Okay.
00:35:23.020 They're trying to tell us he's sharper than ever.
00:35:25.980 I mean, it's nuts.
00:35:26.760 Come on.
00:35:27.800 We all.
00:35:28.600 It's insulting to our intelligence.
00:35:30.100 It is.
00:35:30.880 And that was one of the things, a subtle part of the, uh, Joe Biden candidacy, I think for
00:35:37.140 people was that he was, and he said this himself, that he was basically a bridge, right?
00:35:41.100 A bridge.
00:35:41.640 He wasn't trying to do anything revolutionary.
00:35:43.780 Now, of course he's done a lot of things.
00:35:45.020 I will say the one thing I will defend on that statement is that he really has done
00:35:49.000 a lot, a lot of bad things, a lot of really terrible things for this country.
00:35:52.520 He has moved the ball down a road so we can maybe replicate the last hundred years of Argentina.
00:36:00.000 He's done that, that I will say.
00:36:02.260 Yep.
00:36:02.980 So he has not been without achievement for the left.
00:36:06.400 And he really has.
00:36:07.540 I mean, I can understand in some ways why they'd want him back in there because this formula
00:36:11.140 of brain dead presidential candidate, letting his, you know, left-wing advisors run the
00:36:17.940 show has, has produced some dividends for them.
00:36:20.820 Um, but we all, the other part of this was sort of that he was a bridge candidate and he
00:36:25.800 didn't say this, but kind of maybe you think maybe a one-term guy, you know, that was kind
00:36:30.500 of, it wasn't explicitly pitched.
00:36:33.020 No, but that's the impression we got.
00:36:34.620 Yeah.
00:36:34.700 It was like, all right, well, Trump, you know, a lot of people had a problem with Trump and
00:36:37.600 it's like, well, this guy's going to be around for four years.
00:36:39.700 How bad can it get?
00:36:40.480 That was kind of part of the pitch.
00:36:42.460 Yeah.
00:36:42.720 And of course now that's not happening.
00:36:44.600 And now they have to find some way to sell this to people.
00:36:47.300 888-727-BEC, more coming up.
00:36:51.480 Well, you know, things could always be worse, right?
00:36:54.000 I mean, we went through some of the housing stuff.
00:36:55.980 It's just incredible how bad this is for people right now.
00:36:59.700 Um, and it seems to be getting worse.
00:37:03.900 As long as this guy's in office, it seems to be getting worse.
00:37:06.120 Anyway, things could also get better too.
00:37:08.380 If you plan correctly, you really have to take responsibility for every little part of
00:37:12.440 your financial future.
00:37:13.420 You know, the, the, the glories of capitalism that have done so many good things for our
00:37:17.560 country and help so many people aren't, you know, always in effect when you have, you
00:37:22.960 know, an administration trying to stop them.
00:37:24.640 So you have to really look for every little step to make your, your specific financial
00:37:29.340 picture a little bit better.
00:37:30.740 And that's one reason to call American financing.
00:37:33.940 You know, if you're a homeowner, chances are a good American financing, you know, this
00:37:38.940 company that has been around for a long time and helped me and helped many people who work
00:37:44.180 here can help you as well, get you out of debt.
00:37:47.100 They can look at your spending, your finances.
00:37:49.940 I mean, they can help you with all this stuff.
00:37:52.060 And just like, you know, if you think about a debt problem, you want to get out of that
00:37:55.800 debt.
00:37:56.540 It's not like the American government.
00:37:58.020 Unfortunately, you just can't print money for into eternity.
00:38:00.860 You need to do something about this call American financing today.
00:38:03.840 When you do, you might not have to make next month's mortgage payment, which would be a
00:38:07.560 nice little break.

00:38:09.320 They work for you.
00:38:10.240 They don't work for the bank.

00:38:53.420 If the answer is never, you need to know about a fast-growing cyber scam that the FBI calls
00:38:57.860 house stealing.
00:38:58.860 This is when a scammer forges your signature on a fake transfer document.

00:39:08.640 of your financial future.
00:39:09.680 They have control of your equity.
00:39:11.020 So what do they do?
00:39:12.300 They take out loans against that equity.
00:39:14.300 They do all sorts of financial shenanigans that you really can't unwind unless you have
00:39:18.600 massive legal help.

00:39:49.320 of the equity.

00:40:19.860 Pat and Stu for Glenn this week, 888-727-BECK.
00:40:33.940 We still have a lot to get to, especially concerning the cadaver-in-chief.
00:40:39.640 He's had a busy week.
00:40:41.200 You know, he's been making speeches.
00:40:42.960 Sometimes, they haven't put a lid on the day at the White House until 10, 10.30 in the
00:40:48.860 morning.
00:40:49.840 Really?
00:40:50.300 Yeah.
00:40:50.640 It's happened a couple of times this week.
00:40:52.700 Yeah, they'll wait clear.
00:40:53.900 I mean, he'll get up at 9 and from time to time work all the way to 10.
00:41:01.520 Well, not nonstop.
00:41:03.160 Obviously, he has to rest in between.
00:41:04.980 But still, you know, he's done some stuff.
00:41:08.820 What about meals?
00:41:09.980 He's going to have probably breakfast in there.
00:41:12.080 Well, yes.
00:41:12.700 Yeah, of course.
00:41:13.560 By about 10.05, he's doing breakfast.
00:41:16.680 And then he gets a rub down.
00:41:19.960 Somebody comes in, rubs his feet.
00:41:21.660 Anthony Blinken.
00:41:22.720 Anthony Blinken.
00:41:23.400 Yes.
00:41:23.920 Yes.
00:41:24.320 Wiley Saren nades him on the guitar.
00:41:26.360 Right.
00:41:26.840 Which is a special moment for everybody involved.
00:41:30.860 And so we've got more from him.
00:41:34.340 And we will get to that coming up in just a minute.
00:41:37.580 But also some amazing thoughts from one of his main advisors, Tom Perez, summing up the Biden administration.
00:41:45.260 You're going to want to hear that, too.
00:41:46.700 All on the way.
00:41:48.540 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:53.880 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:55.380 It's a new day.
00:42:24.820 A turn to rain.
00:42:31.380 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:42:40.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:42:46.500 Pat Gray, Stu Pergear for Glenn this week.
00:42:48.760 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B-E-C-K.
00:42:51.880 Have a new New York Times poll.
00:42:53.940 That came out since the verdict on Donald Trump.
00:42:59.560 And things have changed ever so slightly.
00:43:01.540 We'll get into that and much more in 60 seconds.
00:43:04.620 So never forget to keep your eyes on the prize.
00:43:08.720 That's the kind of mentality you've got to have when you're making big, important decisions in your life.
00:43:12.540 So when it's time to buy or sell a home or both, usually you're doing both kind of around the same time.
00:43:17.800 The mentality you're going to need is that same one.
00:43:20.500 Your real estate agent needs to have that one as well.
00:43:22.900 And because if you get down this road and you get an agent who is anything short of a perfectionist or a hard worker, you're basically just begging to get less for the home you're selling or pay more for the one you're buying.
00:43:34.420 And maybe both.
00:43:35.980 So you don't want that.
00:43:36.960 Glenn Beck, of course, started realestateagentsitrust.com years ago because he was having those same frustrations.
00:43:43.660 You shouldn't have to deal with any of that stuff, honestly.

00:44:05.940 Apparently, Donald Trump just sent out vetting forms to all of the candidates that have made the shortlist.
00:44:17.200 Did you get one?
00:44:17.720 For vice president.
00:44:19.200 No, I think mine's still in the mail.
00:44:20.580 I just called the campaign out.
00:44:21.920 So you sent it.
00:44:22.200 Yeah.
00:44:22.580 They haven't all been delivered yet.
00:44:24.580 Exactly.
00:44:25.140 Yeah.
00:44:25.260 So it's kind of interesting who seems to be among the survivors to become the vice presidential candidate on the ticket.
00:44:37.660 We've got people like Stefanik and Donalds and even Ben Carson is still on the list.
00:44:45.820 Can we move past the Ben Carson thing, please?
00:44:49.400 He really likes Ben Carson.
00:44:50.500 He does.
00:44:51.160 I mean, you know, there's stuff to like.
00:44:52.160 I like Ben Carson, but I don't know if he's the pick.
00:44:54.940 No.
00:44:55.540 He's not.
00:44:56.660 He's like Doug.
00:44:57.840 Doug.
00:44:58.840 Now I want to call him Doug Momentum.
00:45:00.960 Doug Bergamantum.
00:45:01.600 Doug Bergamantum.
00:45:02.580 Doug Bergamania.
00:45:03.600 Yes.
00:45:04.300 There is a transition that could come from Bergamantum to Bergamania, and it could happen at any moment.
00:45:08.680 It sure could.
00:45:09.600 He's getting a letter, I bet.
00:45:10.840 He's getting a letter.
00:45:11.960 Yes.
00:45:12.220 Wait.
00:45:12.500 Now, do you actually have a list of the people who are getting the letters?
00:45:15.480 I don't.
00:45:16.340 Yeah, I was just looking for it.
00:45:17.400 I haven't found it exactly, but he's on it.
00:45:20.300 Tim Scott is on it.
00:45:22.860 That one, I believe.
00:45:24.140 Let's see.
00:45:24.780 I find it hard to believe he would pick Doug Bergam for this role.
00:45:29.760 I do, too.
00:45:30.000 I just, I don't know.
00:45:31.000 He doesn't bring enough to the table.
00:45:32.640 He brings money.
00:45:33.380 He brings a bank account, but that's about it.
00:45:36.260 Yeah.
00:45:36.600 I just, I don't see it.
00:45:38.260 I'm not going to get any help from him.
00:45:40.020 Now, Byron Donalds, I like a lot.
00:45:42.420 I think Byron Donalds could be a viable candidate and might help him, but because they're both
00:45:48.840 from Florida, does that hurt?
00:45:50.900 Does that?
00:45:51.320 Well, one of them would have to move in theory.
00:45:53.180 Yeah.
00:45:53.380 I mean, there is some disagreement.
00:45:54.640 I don't think there's an absolute rule on that, but it's kind of an unwritten one.
00:45:58.320 I thought it was a written one, but it's, there's disagreement on the specifics, right?
00:46:03.060 Like there is, there are some people out there who believe they could be in the same state,
00:46:08.140 but I, I've always heard.
00:46:10.040 And I think the majority of constitutional experts believe that they have to be in separate
00:46:16.660 states.
00:46:16.980 And of course, Donald's already holding office would be, it would be hard for him to leave.
00:46:21.820 And it's hard to, it's hard to imagine Donald Trump being like, you know what?
00:46:24.780 I'll leave for a VP.
00:46:26.660 I don't know.
00:46:27.020 Would he have to leave?
00:46:27.900 Or could he just say my main, just change your main residence to Manhattan or whatever.
00:46:32.300 It just, it just, it would be weird.
00:46:33.820 I don't know.
00:46:35.240 If he really believed it was Donalds or Rubio for that example, for that matter, was the
00:46:41.700 right person.
00:46:42.280 Both of them seem to be on some sort of short list.
00:46:45.000 Yeah.
00:46:45.120 Um, he obviously could do it, but it just, it seems, it's like out of, it doesn't feel
00:46:50.060 very Trumpian to be like, oh, I will subjugate myself to a, uh, an address move to, to, to
00:46:56.520 accommodate my VP.
00:46:58.000 It just doesn't feel like something.
00:46:59.560 That is not Trumpian.
00:47:00.340 It's not something he would like to do.
00:47:01.780 It's almost like you say, you know what, Byron, if you want this gig, you move.
00:47:04.700 Yeah.
00:47:04.940 You know, it kind of seems like it's more of that situation.
00:47:07.460 But I think if he really, obviously if he thinks it's going to help him in the election
00:47:11.220 and he thinks the person is the right person, he could definitely see that happening.
00:47:14.880 Also, Byron Donalds is on a, he's under attack right now, a little bit from the left, because
00:47:19.840 did you hear this comment?
00:47:20.960 Like he was talking about the Jim Crow years and that the black family was more together
00:47:25.660 during those years.
00:47:26.600 And that was a good thing.
00:47:27.800 I mean, and they're saying like, the way it's presented is Byron Donalds shortlist VP, uh,
00:47:36.040 for a black man, a black who is, they don't say that in the headlines, but he is a black
00:47:39.760 man.
00:47:40.260 And they say that he thought Jim Crow was good for black people.
00:47:43.580 Like that is not what he said at all.
00:47:45.540 I'm so tired of the, you know, I want to be enraged by something.
00:47:49.780 So I'm going to read this into it.
00:47:51.740 People just want to be offended.
00:47:53.340 So rather than just understanding his point that in that era, the black family was, I
00:47:59.980 think, uh, the foundation, like having a mother and a father with the children.
00:48:06.040 Uh, I think they had more of that than any other demographic.
00:48:11.180 I think it was more than whites at the time.
00:48:13.540 So it's gone from that where they had 90 or 95% of husbands and fathers in the family
00:48:19.780 in the home to what is it now?
00:48:22.520 65% or something like that.
00:48:24.540 And so that's what he's talking about.
00:48:26.140 And rather than understanding that's his point, that the black family was together and that
00:48:31.920 was a good thing.
00:48:32.520 Families are a good thing.
00:48:34.080 They have to jump immediately to Byron Donald hates black people, even though he's a black
00:48:39.620 person.
00:48:40.080 And it's just so disingenuous and obnoxious, but we'll see if he, if, uh, if he turns out
00:48:49.100 to be the pick, like, like you said, Stu, though, I, I think it's probably remote.
00:48:53.940 I think of him being, yeah, I think Donald's is remote.
00:48:57.060 Um, you know, he's, uh, not particularly well-known house member and it doesn't necessarily add
00:49:03.280 up.
00:49:03.620 I generally like him.
00:49:05.100 Yeah.
00:49:05.360 I generally like him.
00:49:06.320 I, no problem.
00:49:07.380 Uh, Stefanik is another one that's kind of falls into that category where she's not
00:49:12.000 particularly well-known out of Washington, though.
00:49:14.540 She's been a star on, uh, the, the campus protests.
00:49:18.680 She's done a really good job and has really raised her profile.
00:49:22.460 Is that enough?
00:49:23.900 I mean, I do think, you know, certainly the reporting has indicated that he's looking at
00:49:29.840 potentially picking a woman, um, that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to, I mean, I mean,
00:49:35.700 certainly what we know of Donald Trump is that he doesn't typically make decisions like
00:49:40.540 that, right?
00:49:41.360 He doesn't typically make decisions based on identity politics, for example.
00:49:46.240 Um, maybe he will factor that into this particular pick.
00:49:49.380 Although I've been surprised at how many on the right are just like, sure.
00:49:52.040 Or, oh, he's going to definitely pick either a person of color or a woman.
00:49:56.440 It's like, well, I mean, maybe he will, but like, I mean, shouldn't number one, he should
00:50:00.320 be picking whoever he thinks the best person is for the job in case he can't do it.
00:50:04.340 That's, that should be his pick.
00:50:06.040 And also, I mean, if I'm Trump, I'm looking for someone who's going to take my ideological
00:50:11.260 position and extend it.
00:50:14.200 I mean, if he picks someone, I mean, I don't know who the, I'm trying to think of who the
00:50:18.640 person in this group is that would best highlight this.
00:50:24.900 Maybe it's Tim Scott.
00:50:26.280 Tim Scott has a lot of similarities with Donald Trump, but it's not, I don't think, from the
00:50:30.800 ideological school of Donald Trump, whatever you think that is.
00:50:34.640 I mean, J.D. Vance is, right?
00:50:36.440 J.D. Vance seems to be.
00:50:37.800 Who's another one on the list.
00:50:38.680 Another one on the list.
00:50:39.440 And like, you know, Marco Rubio's moved a lot in that direction, though, does not come
00:50:43.780 necessarily from that foundation.
00:50:45.660 And neither does Vance, honestly.
00:50:46.860 But a lot of these guys have moved over the years.
00:50:49.540 Vance seems very dedicated, though, to this sort of nationalist, populist type of view
00:50:54.140 that you might identify with Donald Trump.
00:50:56.820 And so I'm thinking to myself, if I'm Trump, like, do I want this to be just a me thing?
00:51:02.660 Do I want this movement, you know, Trumpism, MAGA-ism, whatever you want to call it, do you
00:51:07.940 want that to be just limited to you while you're around?
00:51:10.980 And I don't know.
00:51:11.860 I mean, Trump isn't an ideologue.
00:51:14.120 He really isn't.
00:51:15.040 And he's just not that guy.
00:51:16.200 He's got about five or six things he really passionately cares about.
00:51:19.660 And then a lot of stuff that he, you know, I mean, he has interest in and he takes positions
00:51:26.240 on.
00:51:26.540 But he's not like, you know, you look at Reagan's 1960s speeches and you see a guy who
00:51:32.200 has a very highly developed conservative view.
00:51:35.100 And that carries all the way till he's out of office in 1989, right?
00:51:40.280 And beyond.
00:51:41.340 Yeah.
00:51:41.740 Right.
00:51:42.180 That's not the approach.
00:51:43.260 I mean, Donald Trump has taken, you know, he goes.
00:51:45.340 I mean, Bitcoin's been an interesting one.
00:51:46.820 And I think he's gone from wrong to right on it.
00:51:49.700 Like, it's a good thing to have some mobility on that.
00:51:52.260 He was kind of against it when he was president.
00:51:56.180 You know, he wasn't really a supporter and took a lot of positions against it.
00:51:59.160 He's really changed on that, it seems.
00:52:01.180 I mean, he now seems to be a real friend of the Bitcoin community, which I think is
00:52:07.760 a real positive development.
00:52:09.520 So it's not always bad.
00:52:11.420 The fact that he's not like a guy who worked at a think tank for 80 years before he became
00:52:17.260 president has some really good things to it.
00:52:20.380 But like, I think there are certain things that are really important to him that you'd
00:52:24.020 think he'd want to pick in a vice president, assuming, you know, he's only got four years
00:52:28.780 in office here.
00:52:29.720 So whatever the next guy, if you pick a guy who, like you pick Ted Cruz, for example,
00:52:35.000 Cruz has a lot of similarities to, and I don't think Cruz is going to be the pick, by the
00:52:39.360 way, but I'm just using him as an example.
00:52:41.600 Cruz has a lot of similarities to Donald Trump.
00:52:43.660 They agree on most policies.
00:52:45.220 But Cruz has a very highly well-developed view of the constitution and policy that would
00:52:51.140 make the next generation of Republican politics a Cruz version.
00:52:55.100 It would be his version.
00:52:57.560 It would not be Trump's version.
00:52:59.760 If Cruz becomes president of the United States, the Republican Party is going to be remade at
00:53:04.220 some level into the Cruz version of the Republican Party.
00:53:08.440 You could say the same thing about a bunch of people.
00:53:11.740 You know, I think Rubio has a slightly different version.
00:53:15.820 You know, Scott, I think, has a different version.
00:53:18.160 Vance has a very similar version.
00:53:19.740 And I think, I don't know if that plays into the way Trump is thinking about this.
00:53:23.640 That would be something I would make central to my decision if I were picking a vice president,
00:53:29.180 if I was in Trump's spot.
00:53:31.160 Because you would care about, you know, your legacy and what the Republican Party is after
00:53:35.720 you're gone.
00:53:36.140 I think he's not, apparently, I don't know if it's just rumor or if he's actually said
00:53:42.080 he's not going to pick the candidate until after the convention.
00:53:49.340 Have you heard that too?
00:53:50.340 I think he has to have him at the convention, right?
00:53:52.800 I don't, I think he's going to, I think he's going to pick close.
00:53:55.300 He's going to wait until around then.
00:53:56.420 Yeah.
00:53:56.600 I mean, it might not be a reveal at the convention, but something like that, something close by.
00:54:02.340 In the meantime, there's a new New York Times poll out and it, it's got information about
00:54:09.860 what's happened to, to the polling since he was convicted on 34 counts.
00:54:14.720 Yeah.
00:54:15.160 And it's kind of an interesting thing they did.
00:54:16.800 Normally, when you take polls, let's say we talk about this all the time.
00:54:20.040 Well, Donald Trump's down by three points in this poll.
00:54:22.480 And that's not really technically true, right?
00:54:25.360 Like what pollsters do is they take a random sampling of the, of the population and they
00:54:30.940 call up people and they say, Hey, who are you voting for?
00:54:33.380 I vote for Trump.
00:54:34.320 I'm voting for Biden.
00:54:35.720 And they put this, you know, they calculate it.
00:54:38.140 They put in sometimes waiting, depending on demographic groups.
00:54:42.400 They do all, all their little stuff.
00:54:43.780 And I know a lot of people don't like the changes that they make, but that's the process.
00:54:47.100 They call up, you know, let's say 2000 random people and get their opinion.
00:54:51.960 Then three or four weeks later, they call 2000 other random people.
00:54:57.120 And the belief is you're calling random people.
00:54:59.380 So you're going to still get a, a, a group of, of people who are representative of the
00:55:06.980 average voter, but they're not calling the same people.
00:55:09.880 It's not like they call Bob Smith.
00:55:11.180 And then next time they decide they're going to call Bob Smith again, there are certain
00:55:14.880 polls that do this like panel polls.
00:55:18.060 It's been another approach that has been tried and with varying levels of success.
00:55:22.440 But the idea with those are you're calling the same person back and seeing if their opinion
00:55:26.020 has changed.
00:55:27.060 What the New York times decided to do is call back 2000 people.
00:55:30.400 They had already talked to the exact 2000 people.
00:55:33.400 Hey, Bob Smith, you're back on the phone with me.
00:55:35.500 Hey, you know, you saw this trial thing go down now.
00:55:37.340 Who are you going to vote for?
00:55:38.760 And so this is kind of an interesting view into that group.
00:55:42.500 What they found was a slight move toward Biden in this group of people.
00:55:49.640 2000 people, when they called them the first time, they had Trump 48, Biden 45.
00:55:56.360 When they called them back, they had Trump 47, Biden 46.
00:56:01.700 So a super slight move, but actual people supposedly changing their minds.
00:56:08.480 Now, when you look at this and break it down, it's pretty interesting as to the group of people
00:56:13.400 who decided to change their mind of all Trump supporters, only 3% of Trump supporters changed
00:56:20.260 their mind to Biden 3%.
00:56:21.720 So that's smaller than the group that had told the New York times they would change their mind
00:56:29.900 if he was convicted.
00:56:31.060 And I think that's interesting.
00:56:32.660 Initially, about 7% of Trump supporters said they would change their mind if there was a conviction.
00:56:38.920 The group, when they actually called them back, it was only 3%.
00:56:42.040 So less than half of those people who said they would change their mind actually did in
00:56:46.260 this particular poll.
00:56:47.620 But the breakdown, which I found most interesting, is how often they pay attention to politics.
00:56:53.020 Among this group, how often do they pay attention?
00:56:58.940 Only 1% of people who actually pay attention all the time to politics change their mind.
00:57:03.820 1%.
00:57:04.300 People who follow politics most of the time, it's only 2%.
00:57:09.420 People who follow politics like half the time, it's only 3% of people who changed their mind.
00:57:15.300 But 15% of Trump voters who follow politics some of the time or never changed their mind.
00:57:24.360 So these are low information voters.
00:57:27.320 These are people who don't follow politics, didn't follow the trial, don't know the details
00:57:32.000 of how all this happened, just saw the headline, convicted felon.
00:57:36.340 Those people were more than 5 times more likely than these groups to change their mind.
00:57:42.600 And this is the target of the Democratic Party.
00:57:44.840 They're going after people who just aren't following things all that closely.
00:57:50.540 Low information voters.
00:57:52.440 And the Trump voter that you might think of is someone who's online, tweeting about Trump,
00:57:57.300 following everything he says, on Truth Social.
00:57:59.500 That's not the people, those aren't the people they're going after.
00:58:02.380 They're going after people who just basically have a vibe that my life was better during
00:58:06.920 in 2019 than it is today.
00:58:10.000 And they recognize that.
00:58:11.960 And so they're thinking they're leaning Trump.
00:58:13.520 But then see this happen and be like, oh gosh, I mean, apparently he's committed some
00:58:16.840 big crime.
00:58:17.760 So yeah, I'm going to change.
00:58:20.820 I'm sort of optimistic about this group long term, though.
00:58:23.880 And maybe we can get into that here in a second.
00:58:25.700 All right, more coming up in one minute.
00:58:26.960 Next time you pull through the drive-thru and get a burger, you know, take it home,
00:58:32.100 throw it in the microwave, throw it on for like, I don't know, maybe an hour in the microwave
00:58:35.720 and let that thing crisp up all nice.
00:58:37.640 And then take it out.
00:58:39.120 It'll be a smoldering mess.
00:58:40.260 You probably burned your house down by now.
00:58:41.960 But then take a little beef seasoning.
00:58:45.220 Just spray it on there.
00:58:46.260 A little flavoring.
00:58:47.060 Ooh, wow.
00:58:47.600 It's going to be good, right?
00:58:48.360 That dinner bell is ringing now.
00:58:49.420 Well, that's what your dog feels like because you're just giving him like some brown chunks
00:58:54.820 of God knows what sprayed with flavoring.
00:58:58.080 You can make that a lot better if you give him rough greens.
00:59:00.860 It's not a dog food.
00:59:01.800 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog
00:59:06.100 food.
00:59:06.580 And, you know, brown food is dead food.
00:59:08.260 You want the greens.
00:59:09.240 You name it.
00:59:10.120 If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens.
00:59:12.900 The folks at rough greens are so confident that your dog is going to love rough greens.
00:59:17.080 They have a special deal going on right now.

00:59:36.060 It's Rough Greens.
00:59:37.300 10 seconds.
00:59:37.780 Station ID.
00:59:48.660 So, looking at this group of supporters, in case you missed the breakdown, 3% of former
00:59:53.540 Trump supporters decided they're going to switch to Biden after this verdict, according to a
00:59:59.200 New York Times poll where they called back these people and asked them if they'd change
01:00:02.720 their mind.
01:00:03.100 If you pay attention to politics at all, almost no chance you're changing your mind.
01:00:08.100 But 15% of people who pay attention, very little, or not at all, and they were thinking about
01:00:16.040 voting for Trump are now thinking about voting for Biden.
01:00:18.800 And I'm optimistic about this group because right now, we're in June.
01:00:25.920 It's easy to not pay attention to politics in June.
01:00:30.500 It's easy to not pay attention to some trial in June and in May.
01:00:39.480 I mentioned this the other day.
01:00:41.020 I was at the airport when the trial broke.
01:00:43.620 And everyone's on their phones because that's what you're doing at an airport, especially
01:00:46.780 one that's filled with tons and tons of weather delays.
01:00:49.060 I mean, there were no seats to be found in Dallas, the DFW airport when I was leaving.
01:00:55.780 And as this, I'm watching it on my phone, the verdict come down, the reaction to it,
01:01:01.620 I'm following it.
01:01:02.740 And as it was leading up to it, I thought, this is going to be interesting because everyone's
01:01:06.020 on their phone right now.
01:01:06.980 Everyone's going to get the alerts that say he was guilty, right?
01:01:09.520 Like, everyone's going to see this.
01:01:11.080 How are people going to react?
01:01:12.060 Is there going to be some sort of audible reaction, grumbling?
01:01:14.860 Are people going to be upset?
01:01:15.820 Are people going to be excited?
01:01:17.360 Is there going to be a mix?
01:01:18.400 Are people going to have conversations about it?
01:01:20.120 How many people are going to be reading it?
01:01:21.420 I walked around the entire area.
01:01:23.340 I was around spying on people's phones.
01:01:25.980 No one was looking at it.
01:01:28.060 No, literally, I could not find one other person watching or reading the coverage, which
01:01:33.940 I thought was fascinating.
01:01:35.300 Yeah.
01:01:35.620 No one cared.
01:01:37.980 Now, that's just a small microcosm of an airport.
01:01:40.000 Who knows?
01:01:40.440 It's in Dallas.
01:01:41.120 Who knows?
01:01:41.480 But the point is, as you have five more months of debates, conventions, political ads in
01:01:51.480 your face constantly, interviews, things taken out of context, things going viral, God only
01:01:56.980 knows what else.
01:01:58.200 It's going to be really difficult to be in the group of people who never pay attention
01:02:03.280 to politics.
01:02:04.120 You're going to be sucked in if you're a voter.
01:02:06.360 You're going to have some attention to this.
01:02:08.400 And I think when people see both sides of this, not just a headline that says he's
01:02:12.560 guilty, when people see that, you know, economic proposals and all these other things that
01:02:17.840 they think are going to actually affect their lives, I think all or very close to all of
01:02:23.760 the people that are saying they're switching to Biden are going to come back to Trump.
01:02:28.440 I mean, that's just, you know, again, I'm reading the room here a little bit, but that's
01:02:31.520 what I think will happen.
01:02:32.480 Hope so.
01:02:33.500 Hope so.
01:02:34.480 And a lot of these polls don't include RFK Jr.
01:02:36.680 How do you think that's going to impact the election?
01:02:39.700 You think it helps?
01:02:40.760 Does it hurt Trump more or does it hurt Joe Biden more to have him involved?
01:02:45.960 Because I'm leaning now towards it hurts Biden more when he's involved.
01:02:50.400 This is something I've watched really closely because RFK Jr.
01:02:53.400 is a factor.
01:02:55.460 Yeah.
01:02:55.600 I mean, he's going to, he's not going to be at one or two percent, I don't think.
01:02:58.740 I think he's going to do better than that.
01:03:00.100 And watching all the polls so far, I try to watch every single one for this one thing.
01:03:05.320 I think right now what we've seen is that there is a slight, it slightly hurts Joe Biden.
01:03:13.080 It's not overwhelming.
01:03:14.280 It's not in every poll, but I think it hurts Biden more than Trump.
01:03:17.420 Every little bit helps, especially in an election this close.
01:03:21.280 We'll see.

01:03:24.520 More patents too for Glenn coming up.
01:03:30.100 Glenn Beck.
01:03:35.360 So there you are with the whole family, finally taking the summer vacation you've all been dreaming about since, you know,
01:03:40.240 since the end of probably last summer.
01:03:43.080 And just when you're thinking nothing can possibly go wrong, something does.
01:03:46.800 The car.
01:03:47.580 It's going to be expensive.
01:03:48.840 Summer, you know, can take a real toll on your car with stuff like, you know, broken AC, overheating, electrical issues.
01:03:54.520 An AC compressor can cost over $900.
01:03:58.240 A condenser, over 800 bucks.
01:04:00.480 Even a window switch motor can cost 500 bucks.

01:04:45.680 Don't miss Blaze TV's new docu-series with Matt Kibbe, the cover-up.
01:04:49.520 Exposing Fauci for what he is.
01:04:51.720 A liar.
01:04:52.660 BlazeTV.com.
01:04:53.900 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:05:18.180 888-727-BECK with your thoughts today.
01:05:21.620 No, I've been a little surprised.
01:05:24.680 We've talked about Bill Maher and some of the things he said, some of the common sense things that he has said on his show and other people's shows over the last, certainly over the last several months.
01:05:37.140 But it's been a couple of years, I think, where he seems to not be able to go with the left on some of their most extreme issues.
01:05:44.700 He's got a problem with not referring to a woman as a woman.
01:05:50.940 He's even said some interesting things on the border.
01:05:53.460 He actually said that he does believe abortion is murder.
01:05:58.680 He's just okay with murder of innocent babies.
01:06:01.540 Fascinating thing to admit about yourself, though.
01:06:03.520 Isn't it?
01:06:03.760 I mean, it's true.
01:06:04.860 Yeah.
01:06:05.940 It's what every leftist believes, but it's interesting that he admits it.
01:06:09.240 I give him credit for that.
01:06:10.320 I do, too.
01:06:10.840 Less credit for liking murder.
01:06:13.660 Yes.
01:06:14.280 Yeah, that does seem to be problematic.
01:06:15.540 It's just lower.
01:06:16.480 Yeah, lower.
01:06:17.380 Suboptimal, as you might say from time to time.
01:06:19.580 But the reaction to people on the right has been interesting to me, too.
01:06:26.400 They're kind of bashing him for it some.
01:06:28.260 I mean, some of us are accepting his common sense as such.
01:06:32.980 Others are calling him disingenuous and bashing him for taking these stands.
01:06:39.000 And I'm not sure why you would do that.
01:06:42.280 For years, Glenn has practically begged someone on the left to join him in saying, yeah, look, maybe I was a little too harsh.
01:06:53.100 Maybe I contributed to the problem of the division in this country.
01:06:56.920 I mean, he really came forward and said all that 12 years ago.
01:07:00.980 So maybe I was too nasty.
01:07:03.940 But is there anybody who would step up and join him saying that?
01:07:08.340 He tried to get, what was the name of the woman who did the talk show for a while?
01:07:12.960 It's been long canceled by now.
01:07:14.700 But she even came to the studio, and we thought that she was going to be reasonable.
01:07:20.000 Samantha, what do you remember?
01:07:22.940 Samantha B.
01:07:23.980 God, I forgot about her.
01:07:25.240 Samantha B.
01:07:25.700 Jeez.
01:07:26.620 And then she turned out to be so disingenuous.
01:07:29.240 She came here and said, yeah, you know what?
01:07:31.000 You're right.
01:07:31.680 Let's get together on some issues.
01:07:33.980 There are things we can agree on.
01:07:35.840 Let's talk about those.
01:07:37.100 No.
01:07:38.140 There's really been nobody.
01:07:39.740 And now Bill Maher is doing that.
01:07:42.960 And a lot of people on the right are slapping him back down for it.
01:07:46.600 I say, let's embrace somebody who's willing to admit that they've been, you know, that they've gone, that the left has gone stark raving mad.
01:07:56.520 And, you know, he's accused the right of going stark raving mad on many occasions.
01:08:04.160 But now he's also at least acknowledged that it's happening on the left, and he can't go that far with them.
01:08:10.320 And I say we should embrace somebody like that.
01:08:13.620 Yeah.
01:08:13.940 I'm with you on that.
01:08:14.980 Yeah.
01:08:15.340 I'm not a huge Bill Maher fan.
01:08:16.760 No, I'm not at all.
01:08:17.840 But I like the fact that he's, and honestly, the fact that he says things like the abortion and murder thing, but then will also say, you know, stuff about how crazy it is that we're just switching genders because of words.
01:08:33.940 Like, it's like a abracadabra is another word you could use to change genders.
01:08:38.460 Like, it doesn't sound real.
01:08:40.080 The fact that he'll admit stuff like that.
01:08:41.560 Yeah.
01:08:41.720 Not only is, I think, good for society, but also makes him individually interesting.
01:08:47.340 Right?
01:08:47.580 Like, I, you know, I don't find anyone on MSNBC interesting.
01:08:52.060 Not because they're liberal, but because I already know what they're going to say before I turn it on.
01:08:56.780 And you know in every circumstance what they're going to say.
01:08:58.720 Yeah.
01:08:58.860 And I don't know that with Bill Maher all the time.
01:09:01.780 Like, I think if you watch, if you're a P1, as you'd call it in the business, you would probably be able to predict most of the stuff that Bill Maher does.
01:09:10.100 But as a person who watches him sometimes, he pisses me off sometimes with opinions I think are totally wrong.
01:09:16.900 But also sometimes will surprise me and say stuff that nobody else will say.
01:09:22.040 And that makes him interesting, worth listening to, worth checking out, worth, you know, I don't, what do you get out of people that you know exactly what they're going to say every single time?
01:09:35.660 You know, I mean, I hear, this is definitely something there is a massive problem with on the right right now, I think.
01:09:42.440 Because you listen to a lot of conservative media and you know, look, you might like it, but you know exactly what they're going to say every single time you turn it on.
01:09:51.280 And I don't know, some people really like that.
01:09:55.620 Some people, I don't know if they find comfort in it.
01:09:58.040 Some people, I think, just enjoy that.
01:10:01.500 I know that's true because some people in this audience get angry at us when we violate what they think we're going to say.
01:10:09.480 Yeah.
01:10:09.600 You know, I get that and I have some sympathy for it.
01:10:12.920 You know, we're trying to do a show that you enjoy and if we're pissing you off because we're saying something you don't like, I'm sorry about that.
01:10:19.220 But I mean, I don't know, what I want out of a host is someone who's going to say what they actually believe, say something honest, look at the world from their perspective and try to deliver that perspective.
01:10:32.700 You know, hopefully do it in an entertaining way.
01:10:34.620 I don't want someone who's just going to say what I can get from 9,000 people on Twitter, just giving me the generic talking points over and over.
01:10:46.240 I don't want that.
01:10:47.440 I get nothing out of that.
01:10:49.200 And so, Marr probably violates that with his liberal audience all the time.
01:10:54.360 But they keep coming back because he's at least being honest about it.
01:10:57.720 And that's good.
01:10:59.080 It's what we should want out of a host.
01:11:01.480 It is.
01:11:01.860 And yes, and appreciate that because especially during this election cycle, we need people to speak the truth.
01:11:10.220 We need the truth to get out there because we can't go through another four years of this guy.
01:11:15.360 I mean, the disintegration of his mental acuity has been astounding in the last three and a half, four years, not to mention his policies.
01:11:25.800 His policies to start with were bad enough.
01:11:28.280 And then you've got a guy applying them who sometimes doesn't even know where he is.
01:11:33.840 Man, I mean, he was wandering around on the stage again today, completely lost.
01:11:38.960 And you know that his advisors, Joe Biden's advisors are telling him every single time,
01:11:47.780 Mr. President, you enter on the right side of the stage, you leave to the left side of the stage.
01:11:53.900 Somebody will be waiting to direct you when they get there.
01:11:57.000 We're going to help you down the stairs so that you don't trip and fall.
01:12:00.320 Everything's in the teleprompter.
01:12:03.320 Please don't read the things in parentheses.
01:12:06.120 Those are just instructions for you on when to pause and when not to.
01:12:10.200 So don't say things like four more years.
01:12:13.420 Pause.
01:12:14.120 Four more years.
01:12:16.120 Pause.
01:12:17.100 Pause.
01:12:18.140 Four more years.
01:12:20.180 Pause.
01:12:20.640 So anyway, we can't go through.
01:12:22.960 I don't know.
01:12:23.560 You just keep hitting me with these clips today and it's blowing me away.
01:12:27.620 How one time when you're reading a prompter and you say four more years, pause.
01:12:35.220 Isn't your career over?
01:12:36.740 But what was the guy's name?
01:12:38.600 Sanchez.
01:12:39.320 Rick Sanchez.
01:12:39.720 Rick Sanchez.
01:12:40.480 From CNN.
01:12:41.200 Poor Rick Sanchez, man.
01:12:42.760 Oh my gosh.
01:12:43.440 The guy was on TV and he said.
01:12:47.300 Adlib.
01:12:47.800 Adlib.
01:12:48.280 A tease.
01:12:48.540 A tease.
01:12:49.360 And because he was just reading the directions on his teleprompter.
01:12:53.560 And it was faking it.
01:12:54.640 Again, like some.
01:12:55.480 I don't know.
01:12:56.080 Like, what do you do?
01:12:57.560 I mean, everyone knows people in television have teleprompters.
01:13:00.340 It's not that big of a deal, I suppose.
01:13:02.620 But like he said, ad lib a tease.
01:13:04.420 And he kind of blew it off.
01:13:05.460 He actually handled it somewhat well.
01:13:07.080 He just made a mistake.
01:13:08.180 And like the guy's gone and we never heard from the guy again.
01:13:11.520 Right.
01:13:11.900 Right.
01:13:12.140 Like we're.
01:13:12.680 We never heard from poor Rick Sanchez ever again.
01:13:15.400 And like.
01:13:18.800 Adlib.
01:13:19.120 A tease.
01:13:19.320 Pause.
01:13:20.200 Four more years.
01:13:21.940 Pause.
01:13:22.640 And no one cares.
01:13:23.560 Nobody cares.
01:13:24.220 Nobody cares.
01:13:24.680 It's just joking.
01:13:25.280 And that just can't go on.
01:13:26.720 And so, again, I welcome Bill Maher's comments.
01:13:30.100 Yes.
01:13:30.240 And the common sense.
01:13:31.420 Thank you.
01:13:32.080 I agree.
01:13:32.580 Thank you, Bill.
01:13:33.980 What I don't welcome is that there's another.
01:13:36.640 Apparently, there's a new strain of the bird flu that jumped to humans.
01:13:39.580 And we had one human just die of it.
01:13:42.620 So.
01:13:43.040 That's not good.
01:13:43.740 Is this panic going to start before the election?
01:13:46.480 Is this going to be another way they manipulate us before November so that they make it very difficult
01:13:52.800 to get out and vote?
01:13:53.960 And they've got all kinds of ways for you to vote that are easily manipulated.
01:13:58.900 That's what that's my worry on this.
01:14:01.260 What I've read about this is limited.
01:14:02.860 I will admit.
01:14:03.880 So if we have some virologists who want to call in and let us know.
01:14:08.080 Yeah.
01:14:08.280 Hey, actually, it is really, really the opposite of what you're saying.
01:14:12.160 But from everything I've heard, it's not exactly easy to get and to pass, right?
01:14:16.720 Like this is something unlike COVID, which became very easy and airborne and all that.
01:14:21.920 It's not that's not where it is now.
01:14:23.340 And that can change, I suppose.
01:14:25.100 Well, they're trying to make a change in some labs.
01:14:27.260 Yeah, exactly.
01:14:27.960 Exactly.
01:14:28.420 All over Wuhan.
01:14:29.200 They're trying to get a new breakout.
01:14:31.120 I just will.
01:14:31.620 So it's just one of those things that we can't eventually one of these things will
01:14:35.760 be real again.
01:14:36.800 We're not going to it might be 100 years, but like we will have another pandemic that
01:14:40.480 will happen.
01:14:41.160 Sure.
01:14:42.260 It's just a matter of like, how do you react to it?
01:14:44.700 This is why, you know, the Blaze series that we have right now, it's called the
01:14:48.460 Cover Up.
01:14:49.460 It's a docuseries available on Blaze TV.
01:14:51.680 You can get access if you go to FauciCoverUp.com slash Glenn.
01:14:55.340 Use the code FauciLied.
01:14:56.600 You get 30 bucks off.
01:14:57.480 But that is a part of an effort to not only hold people accountable like Fauci.
01:15:04.160 And look, that's important, but like boring to me.
01:15:06.800 Like, yeah, you know, the fact that Fauci did things that were wrong, he should be held
01:15:09.860 accountable in whatever way is appropriate.
01:15:11.720 That's important, but not necessarily the most important thing.
01:15:14.660 The most important thing to me is we draw bright lines so that next time this happens
01:15:19.600 and it will happen, we don't do the same crap again.
01:15:23.520 We don't violate people.
01:15:24.780 We don't close down churches.
01:15:26.140 Like, there is no bright line other than the Constitution, which, by the way, existed
01:15:31.340 before all of this.
01:15:32.720 There's no, there's no like new thing.
01:15:34.880 And some states have done some on this, I should, I should point out.
01:15:38.020 Some states have moved the line a little bit, but like drawing bright lines saying, this
01:15:41.460 can't happen next time.
01:15:42.460 I don't care what the pandemic is.
01:15:44.380 I don't care what is going on in the world.
01:15:45.920 I don't care if Godzilla is currently walking down the streets of your city and launching
01:15:51.200 fire at your skyscrapers.
01:15:52.900 Churches can still have services.
01:15:55.280 Like, that should be so obvious to us after this.
01:15:59.000 If you, if you hear this sound, then church is canceled.
01:16:05.400 Then church is canceled.
01:16:06.920 And we might have the election next week.
01:16:11.940 More coming up in one minute.

01:16:37.060 Weather's warming up and I can't wait to get to the ranch this summer to paint, to roam.
01:16:41.420 Cool summer nights with my family, being out by the campfire.
01:16:45.000 I remember when I couldn't do a lot of these things because the altitude created a constant,
01:16:50.240 unbearable pain for me.
01:16:51.880 My wife, Tanya, insisted that I tried Relief Factor.
01:16:54.360 I didn't think it would work for me.
01:16:55.800 It's a 100% drug-free daily supplement.
01:16:59.620 It's supposed to help your body fight pain naturally.
01:17:02.180 I mean, I went to the best doctors in the world and they couldn't help me.
01:17:05.560 I didn't think this would work.
01:17:07.100 Relief Factor uses a unique formula of natural ingredients.
01:17:10.600 It doesn't just mask the pain.
01:17:12.520 It reduces or even eliminates it by reducing the inflammation in your body.
01:17:16.880 Wherever you're hurting, back, neck, joint, muscles, in three weeks or less,
01:17:20.940 you will start to feel the difference all day, every day.
01:17:24.180 I've been taking Relief Factor for years now and it has truly changed my life.

01:17:46.140 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
01:17:47.980 888-727-BECK.
01:17:50.640 Let's go to Barbara in Illinois.
01:17:52.660 Hey, Barbara.
01:17:53.180 You're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.
01:17:55.600 Thank you.
01:17:56.300 I've got a comment about the pollsters.
01:17:58.580 I think what you're referring to is the people that call repeatedly like two weeks before the election.
01:18:07.520 I'm a pollster for a national polling company and the polls that we do, they send us surveys.
01:18:17.360 They can take five to ten minutes, sometimes even longer.
01:18:22.760 And it's a wide range of questions from Biden to Trump to the economy to where we live, how much our salaries are.
01:18:33.060 It's everything.
01:18:35.180 And I take it pretty seriously because I feel like I'm contributing in some way.
01:18:41.380 I think that's the right way to look at it.
01:18:44.200 I just wanted to put that out there because it is more involved than just a quick phone call.
01:18:50.380 Oh, yeah.
01:18:50.760 And I do understand that side of it.
01:18:52.560 But to be on a national poll, it's pretty cool.
01:18:57.500 Yeah.
01:18:58.520 It's an interesting experience, actually.
01:19:00.240 And I think you're looking at it the right way.
01:19:02.860 Yeah.
01:19:03.540 I think there's this pushback because the polls missed a couple times that people were like, well, I'm not going to participate in them.
01:19:09.020 And I think that I believe that's misguided, particularly because the campaigns do listen to them.
01:19:15.720 So if they think they're changing policies, approach, they're assigning.
01:19:20.320 If you don't, let's say you're in Ohio and you're like, I'm not going to participate in these darn pollsters.
01:19:26.160 And then a bunch of people are like you.
01:19:29.340 And all of a sudden the polls in Ohio look close.
01:19:32.220 What the Trump campaign is going to do is spend money in Ohio when they don't need to because you decided not to take polls.
01:19:41.380 Like it's crazy, I know.
01:19:43.220 And it's a weird way to run a society.
01:19:45.420 But like these things are important.
01:19:46.960 But it is part of it.
01:19:47.940 They influence these campaigns in major ways.
01:19:50.500 So I would say, look, a lot of people, there's a lot of scam calls that come in that say they're pollsters.
01:19:54.840 You got to be careful.
01:19:55.380 But like if you get a legitimate poll and you have a time to take it, take it.
01:19:58.860 I mean, get your opinion out there.
01:20:00.660 I think it is a good idea.
01:20:02.200 And it does make these things more accurate and makes these campaigns actually address the right issues.
01:20:07.340 Let's go to George in North Carolina.
01:20:09.100 Hey, George.
01:20:10.320 Hey, how are you doing?
01:20:11.320 Good.
01:20:11.820 So I have a question for you.
01:20:13.980 Have you ever heard of someone named Damon Imani?
01:20:19.520 Damon Imani.
01:20:20.680 I don't think so.
01:20:23.720 Look him up.
01:20:25.580 So what he's done is he goes, he was on The View, and he put Whoopi in her place, Hillary, Charlemagne, the God.
01:20:34.400 He just says things that blow your head off.
01:20:37.780 Okay.
01:20:38.180 All right.
01:20:38.400 Thanks for your call.
01:20:39.160 Let's go to Frank in Michigan.
01:20:41.300 Frank?
01:20:42.640 Hi.
01:20:43.480 I've got an idea that I'd like to share.
01:20:47.760 My fear is that Trump won't win because of what's going on.
01:20:52.440 So what I think that he should do is pull together all of the people who were running to be the president and all of his vice president, people that are on the list, and say, okay, this is our team.
01:21:08.460 These are going to be our policies.
01:21:11.500 And I'll use this as an example.
01:21:15.100 DeSantis, you're going to be the president.
01:21:17.460 Nikki Haley, you're going to be the vice president.
01:21:20.280 I, Donald Trump, will be the Speaker of the House or the Secretary of State or something.
01:21:24.900 But I was thinking Speaker of the House because then he's number three in line.
01:21:28.860 And then his whole team, all his cabinet, from all these people, go out and speak nothing but policy, policy, policy, and how we're going to make America great again.
01:21:42.960 I mean, we are a little bit in a fantasy league territory here.
01:21:46.580 I think you're sold on that, though.
01:21:47.900 Are you?
01:21:48.320 I'm just watching you as you speak.
01:21:50.460 I think you're sold.
01:21:51.220 Really?
01:21:51.440 Yeah, you sold Stu, Frank.
01:21:54.040 I will say, I don't think Donald Trump has any interest in being third in line for anything.
01:21:57.780 That's for sure.
01:21:59.020 He likes to be at the top.
01:22:00.840 Might be a fly in the ointment right there.
01:22:04.100 Yeah.
01:22:04.560 Yeah.
01:22:05.040 I feel like we were on sports radio and it's like, you know, why don't they just trade this minor leaguer we just sent down for Shohei Ohtani?
01:22:13.460 Why don't we just get him?
01:22:14.700 Or why don't Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, and Shohei Ohtani all play in the same team?
01:22:20.200 I bet that'd be a really good team.
01:22:21.700 Yeah, I bet it would.
01:22:22.580 I bet it would.
01:22:23.980 More coming up.
01:22:30.000 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:22:50.200 We have no room to compromise We gotta stay together if we're gonna survive
01:23:05.420 Stay up straight and hold the line It's a new day
01:23:16.160 A time to raise
01:23:18.660 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:31.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:23:34.420 Day three of the Hunter Biden gun charge trial happened yesterday.
01:23:43.060 We'll get into that and we got so much more to get into as well.
01:23:47.440 Coming up in 60 seconds.
01:23:48.780 We talked about this earlier today.
01:23:53.760 The left is kind of being honest, at least some of them are.
01:23:55.920 Bill Maher admitted that killing a baby is murder, but he's okay with it.
01:24:01.940 Not a good position.
01:24:03.980 Maybe rethink that a little bit.
01:24:06.280 But this is the truth, right?
01:24:09.280 And I guess it's good that they're being honest about it.
01:24:11.100 But how do we stop the madness?
01:24:12.620 Well, you can help by donating to Preborn.
01:24:14.780 They're the largest pro-life organization in the country.
01:24:17.020 They are leading the charge to put an end to the atrocity of abortion.
01:24:20.860 Every day, they sponsor free ultrasounds for women, as well as providing help for up to two years after a baby is born.
01:24:28.520 So when a mother sees her unborn child on that monitor, she's more than like twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby.
01:24:35.640 It's a big difference.
01:24:36.640 And just doing this is important, plus all the other incredible work they do.
01:24:41.480 You can donate.
01:24:42.260 28 bucks could be the difference between life and death.
01:24:44.440 Join the fight by sponsoring one, two, three, or 200 ultrasounds if you can do it.
01:24:49.320 All gifts are tax-deductible.
01:24:51.200 To donate, dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby.
01:24:54.600 Pound 250.
01:24:55.660 The keyword is baby.

01:25:02.720 Sponsored by Preborn.
01:25:04.020 So one of the women from Hunter Biden's life, this one, I don't think I'd heard of her before, Zoe Keston.
01:25:15.920 She took the stand yesterday.
01:25:17.360 I hadn't heard of her either.
01:25:18.740 She was a girlfriend of Hunter.
01:25:23.620 This is back in 2017 to 2018.
01:25:27.360 Now this is an important period because this is when he apparently tried to get this, it was around the time where he tried to get this gun and wrote on the forum that he was not addicted to drugs.
01:25:37.980 So there's a reason they're bringing her on.
01:25:39.560 And everybody knows he was a drug addict at the time or at least around that time.
01:25:43.560 Yeah.
01:25:44.160 But he lied.
01:25:44.840 Let me give you a rundown of this.
01:25:46.060 It's pretty interesting.
01:25:46.680 This is from James Lynch over at National Review.
01:25:49.520 A Hunter Biden's defense team had such a rough day in court on Wednesday that the first son joked about representing himself going forward on the way out of the courtroom.
01:25:58.280 Hunter's defense, carefully crafted by attorney Abby Lowell during his opening statement on Tuesday, was blown up by the testimony of an ex-girlfriend and ex-wife who described the extent of Hunter's crack cocaine usage.
01:26:10.260 It's really amazing.
01:26:11.300 I just didn't, and I know you're the man who knows the streets, Pat.
01:26:18.260 You're the type, you just have street smarts beyond my particular knowledge.
01:26:23.820 Well, I grew up on the mean streets of Helena, Montana.
01:26:25.940 So I know I'm pretty hip and aware.
01:26:28.180 This is who you are.
01:26:29.280 Yeah.
01:26:29.420 And it's who you are to your core.
01:26:30.740 Always been.
01:26:32.260 But like, isn't, and hasn't crack been out of style for like a long time?
01:26:36.360 Like, isn't crack like the thing that, I mean, even Whitney Houston back in the day when she was still alive said crack is whack.
01:26:44.140 And what I took from that was that that's for those poor people back in the 80s, right?
01:26:49.980 Like that's not for us, these high level celebrities.
01:26:52.900 No, we do cocaine.
01:26:54.060 Cocaine.
01:26:54.660 We snort it.
01:26:55.720 Something.
01:26:56.420 We don't smoke it.
01:26:57.980 What else?
01:26:58.760 Maybe we can get Jeffy in here, but what are the drugs people are buying right now?
01:27:02.000 Like what are the trendy ones of today?
01:27:03.660 Like ketamine or something.
01:27:05.060 Get on something that people, you know, I feel like there are other angles to go on.
01:27:09.720 Fentanyl.
01:27:10.700 Right.
01:27:11.180 Right.
01:27:11.520 Something.
01:27:12.300 Crack seems like it's like.
01:27:14.920 So yesterday.
01:27:15.820 Yeah.
01:27:16.180 I feel like I'm watching a movie from the 80s.
01:27:18.320 It's weird.
01:27:19.220 Okay.
01:27:19.520 So that's a little bit of a side note.
01:27:23.420 So she had crack cocaine usage around the time he purchased a firearm in October 2018.
01:27:28.640 And also we heard from the salesman who sold Hunter the gun.
01:27:32.220 He allegedly lied in order to purchase.
01:27:34.320 So Hunter is facing these gun charges.
01:27:36.060 We know about this.
01:27:36.680 Most of the day it was taken up by Zoe Keston, a woman who dated Biden from roughly December
01:27:43.180 2017 to November 2018.
01:27:45.460 So during the period where he got the gun.
01:27:47.420 Important.
01:27:48.740 Prosecutor Leo Wise conducted a lengthy direct examination of Keston.
01:27:52.300 accompanied by pictures from her cell phone to corroborate her recollection of events.
01:27:56.980 Wise and Keston seemed to get into a rhythm throughout the direct examination as Keston
01:28:00.720 recalled large events and small details from her time with Hunter Biden.
01:28:06.060 Keston remembered exact dates and named the various hotels they stayed at during their
01:28:10.420 time together.
01:28:11.680 Each time Keston described an experience with Hunter Biden, Wise asked her if Hunter Biden
01:28:18.620 smoked crack at their hotel or Airbnb and Keston always replied affirmatively.
01:28:26.080 Quote, this is from a quote from Keston, every 20 minutes or so.
01:28:32.000 Wow.
01:28:32.640 She said of Hunter Biden's crack habit during one of the hotel stays.
01:28:35.760 She noticed that he smoked crack less frequently in public.
01:28:39.400 You know, you're going to do that, Pat.
01:28:42.580 Yeah.
01:28:42.860 You're going to smoke crack a little less frequently when you're in public.
01:28:46.040 Like if you're at an Applebee's, generally speaking, it's more like for every 40 minutes.
01:28:51.220 I usually wait until we're having a dinner or a lunch at TGI Fridays.
01:28:56.660 Okay.
01:28:57.120 Yeah.
01:28:57.300 And then you just whip out the crack pipe?
01:28:59.060 Yeah.
01:28:59.160 Yeah.
01:28:59.340 Yeah.
01:28:59.400 Okay.
01:29:00.040 But not at Applebee's.
01:29:01.180 You're right about that.
01:29:02.020 That's crazy.
01:29:02.960 Wise shared photos from Keston's cell phone showing drug paraphernalia scattered around
01:29:07.300 the bathrooms and tables of their lodgings.
01:29:09.480 One of the images appeared to show Biden in a hotel bathtub holding a crack pipe in the
01:29:14.020 wee hours of the morning.
01:29:15.340 When Wise showed the images, Keston easily pointed out the drug paraphernalia and explained to
01:29:21.360 the courtroom how the various materials were used to cook and consume crack, which is
01:29:26.940 just fascinating.
01:29:27.640 Like she's well versed in this, right?
01:29:29.720 She knows exactly how these things work.
01:29:33.620 Biden allowed Keston to withdraw cash from his account when he needed to spend it on drugs,
01:29:39.020 she recounted.
01:29:40.160 Keston stated the names of drug dealers and described the drug transactions she saw at
01:29:46.620 the hotels and other locations.
01:29:48.420 Her testimony and the images allowed the prosecutor to establish that Hunter was smoking crack in
01:29:54.680 September 2018 following his late August rehab stint in Malibu, California.
01:29:59.720 She said Biden smoked crack every 20 minutes at a Malibu house he rented, and she did not
01:30:04.740 remember Biden discussing her rehab stint during her time at the house in September 2018.
01:30:09.580 A big portion of the Hunter Biden defense is, well, he wasn't actually addicted to drugs
01:30:16.340 at that moment because he had gone to rehab in August.
01:30:19.360 So, since he wasn't addicted to drugs, it was okay, even though it was a small slice of time
01:30:25.240 for him to say he was not addicted on the form.
01:30:27.780 Of course, this is just getting blown up by testimony after testimony.
01:30:31.420 Wise closed the direct examination by introducing a lengthy text message that Biden sent her in
01:30:36.440 December 2018 lamenting how he would always be a drug addict and his attempt to get sober failed.
01:30:42.320 So, they went, their defense is, no, he was totally sober at this point.
01:30:46.880 They have text messages with Hunter saying he wasn't sober.
01:30:50.520 This is how bad their defense is.
01:30:53.320 Oh, man.
01:30:53.960 The text message, as well as Kastan's claim that a rehab stint had not made a significant
01:30:57.940 impression on Hunter, contradict Lowell's argument that Hunter had regained some semblance of
01:31:02.740 sobriety and therefore did not believe himself to be an addict when he purchased the gun.
01:31:07.540 In his memoir, Beautiful Things, which, this is a tip for anyone who might be going through
01:31:14.440 some potential legal hassles in your life.
01:31:18.740 Don't write a memoir.
01:31:21.660 Don't write a memoir.
01:31:30.320 If you write a memoir, they're going to look at what you said in the memoir.
01:31:37.660 They're going to read the book you wrote.
01:31:42.480 And here's the thing.
01:31:43.400 I know no one else is going to read it.
01:31:45.740 Like, sure, he sold a few copies of that book.
01:31:47.960 Did anyone actually read the Hunter Biden thing?
01:31:49.800 Probably not.
01:31:50.480 But the prosecutors are going to read it.
01:31:52.960 They're going to know what you were saying about the time you committed crimes.
01:31:56.560 And I know you thought your daddy would get you out of the trouble.
01:31:59.640 But the memoir hurts you.
01:32:01.840 He must have felt like he was completely untouchable.
01:32:04.900 Yes.
01:32:05.220 He must have believed that it doesn't matter what I do.
01:32:08.840 Dad can fix it.
01:32:10.460 Must have been that.
01:32:11.360 Because he seems to.
01:32:13.520 It's been most of his life.
01:32:14.580 Yeah.
01:32:15.080 He just seems to be so reckless.
01:32:18.480 Didn't care.
01:32:19.400 And he films everything.
01:32:20.580 Mm-hmm.
01:32:21.240 You know, he films drug use, being with hookers, is naked everywhere.
01:32:27.260 You know, the little adventures and parties that he had.
01:32:30.600 Yeah.
01:32:30.940 Oh, yeah.
01:32:32.100 Man.
01:32:32.600 Yeah.
01:32:32.900 And I will say, you know, he's not.
01:32:34.440 I thought he was untouchable.
01:32:35.700 Hunter Biden does get the chicks.
01:32:37.380 I mean, I don't know what it is about that.
01:32:38.820 Yes, he does.
01:32:39.320 I don't know.
01:32:39.760 Is he a good-looking guy?
01:32:40.960 I mean, there was a shtick back on Parks and Rec, that show that was on NBC back in
01:32:46.200 the day.
01:32:46.720 I think it was NBC.
01:32:47.700 And the shtick was that Amy Poehler's character, like, was physically attracted to Joe Biden.
01:32:53.380 He was, like, super handsome.
01:32:54.360 And it was kind of a joke.
01:32:55.400 Like, he obviously was older.
01:32:56.400 But he'd come in with it.
01:32:57.100 He was on the show a couple times.
01:32:58.140 He had the glasses on.
01:32:59.360 You know, and he'd be like, oh, she'd be like, she was a budding Democratic politician
01:33:04.020 and, like, was in love with Joe Biden.
01:33:05.700 It was one of the running jokes on the show.
01:33:07.680 Yeah.
01:33:07.840 So, I don't know.
01:33:08.540 Maybe he was, maybe he's attractive and, therefore, Hunter looking like him is attractive.
01:33:12.640 Like, I only think of Biden as a, you know, a guy who can't get across
01:33:15.880 the stage now.
01:33:16.700 So, I don't, I certainly don't see it.
01:33:18.580 But maybe Hunter Biden's super attractive.
01:33:20.220 I don't know.
01:33:20.820 I've seen too much of him in these photos.
01:33:22.900 Sarah, you think Hunter Biden's attractive?
01:33:25.320 Is he hot?
01:33:26.620 Hunter Biden.
01:33:27.240 No?
01:33:27.540 No?
01:33:28.260 Okay.
01:33:28.660 How many photos have you seen of him from his laptop?
01:33:31.980 Yeah, I mean, I don't really like to look at him.
01:33:34.240 Right.
01:33:34.720 Okay.
01:33:35.000 So, you weren't, like, seeking them out, thinking, like, hey, this is something I'd
01:33:38.660 like to maybe check out.
01:33:39.960 No.
01:33:40.300 No.
01:33:40.500 All right.
01:33:40.940 Okay.
01:33:41.440 I mean, are you just against crack users?
01:33:44.400 Oh, no.
01:33:45.160 I'm fine.
01:33:45.880 Crack.
01:33:46.020 Oh, no.
01:33:46.240 Okay.
01:33:46.660 Okay.
01:33:46.940 All right.
01:33:47.400 Good.
01:33:47.700 Is crack out of style, Sarah?
01:33:49.900 I can't afford it.
01:33:51.140 Okay.
01:33:51.600 All right.
01:33:52.040 It's just too expensive for you.
01:33:53.220 Well, this is Bidenomics in action.
01:33:54.920 The inflation on crack is going through the roof.
01:33:57.420 It's wrong.
01:33:58.020 You know?
01:33:58.520 Used to be such an affordable drug.
01:33:59.860 You used to be able to get a dime bag for a dime.
01:34:02.220 Yes.
01:34:02.800 But now.
01:34:03.260 Not anymore, Pat.
01:34:04.080 Not anymore.
01:34:04.720 Not anymore.
01:34:05.600 No.
01:34:06.240 Now, Hunter Biden's ex-wife, Kathleen Buell, also testified.
01:34:10.740 She said she discovered a crack pipe on their porch.
01:34:14.760 Can you imagine this life?
01:34:16.580 Again, some of this is super sad.
01:34:18.340 Like, for example, she said she, this was the year after their anniversary.
01:34:25.220 Imagine in the year after your anniversary, you go to your porch and you find a freaking
01:34:29.200 crack pipe on it.
01:34:30.740 She goes and confronts him about this.
01:34:32.900 He admits that, yeah, he's on crack.
01:34:37.020 Later on, she talks about how she struggled to call some, recall some specific information,
01:34:41.840 but she did remember searching Biden's car every time to make sure the crack cocaine
01:34:47.100 was not in the vehicles when their daughters drove it.
01:34:50.280 Like.
01:34:51.100 Oh, wow.
01:34:51.580 Can you imagine as a mom going to your car, being like, I got to make sure there's no
01:34:56.520 crack in the car because my kid's going to drive the car.
01:34:58.780 I mean, that is just what the the men in this family have put their wives and significant
01:35:07.620 others through over the years is utterly disgraceful.
01:35:12.780 And they've done it over and over and over again.
01:35:15.980 Another person they tried to call out was this guy, Gordon Cleveland.
01:35:19.480 He was the guy who was the salesman at the gun store, who's a gun enthusiast, cared about
01:35:26.240 guns, cares about the Second Amendment, worked there part time and was part time was a like,
01:35:32.420 I think, a garbage truck driver or something.
01:35:34.600 Right.
01:35:34.760 He was just something he did because he'd liked he liked guns like, you know, as an enthusiast.
01:35:39.940 So he went into detail describing his entire interaction with Biden, starting from when
01:35:45.280 he spotted his Cadillac driving into the store's parking lot.
01:35:48.800 He recalled that Hunter wanted to purchase a firearm when he walked into the store, refuting
01:35:53.540 the defense argument that Hunter was browsing other items and was convinced to buy a gun by
01:35:59.320 Cleveland.
01:35:59.940 Can you imagine that?
01:36:00.980 You know, I know you got some.
01:36:02.660 What is that?
01:36:03.080 Doublemint gum?
01:36:04.260 Hey, do you need a do you need a gun?
01:36:06.740 You should get a gun.
01:36:08.280 Goes great with doublemint.
01:36:10.600 And crack.
01:36:11.400 And crack.
01:36:12.080 Do you need crack?
01:36:12.840 Yeah.
01:36:13.220 Yeah.
01:36:13.500 They go hand in hand.
01:36:14.440 They tried to portray this gun salesman as sleazy and greedy during the cross-examination,
01:36:20.500 but he said he was just doing his jobs and warned by Hunter specifically to be honest
01:36:25.360 on the forms.
01:36:26.240 But like this guy who's working his first job as a garbage truck driver and only part time
01:36:34.040 because he's an enthusiast at a gun store.
01:36:35.600 He's so greedy to get gun sales.
01:36:37.760 Like he's not the owner of the store even where you maybe you could argue this.
01:36:40.920 I don't know.
01:36:41.400 He's just a part time employee.
01:36:42.780 So anyway, long story short, lots of interesting details coming out and it's not going well
01:36:48.200 for Hunter.
01:36:49.280 And I don't know.
01:36:50.580 Will anything come of it, though?
01:36:53.180 Will he be convicted?
01:36:54.360 You know, our convicted, will he go to jail?
01:36:56.660 Our justice system has a jury of its peers demands respect, man.
01:37:03.100 How dare you question whether they'll get this verdict exactly right?
01:37:07.860 Look, I have some doubts, but I have much more hope that he will get convicted than I did
01:37:14.000 of Donald Trump not getting convicted.
01:37:16.120 I think there is at least a chance here and it would be nice.
01:37:20.820 I don't know if it's going to make a huge difference, but it will maybe advance this a
01:37:27.020 little bit.
01:37:27.340 But the gun part of this, too, I would say is not the most interesting.
01:37:30.820 I think the tax part of it is more interesting because him hiding his income is what leads
01:37:37.820 back to the rest of the family.
01:37:39.240 Yeah, we went through that yesterday.
01:37:42.220 Just with the sales of the art, he was obviously lying.
01:37:46.900 Just the art sales were one and a half million.
01:37:49.300 He claimed $130,000.
01:37:51.640 Like one-tenth.
01:37:52.760 And no, I've heard no one else other than us talk about that.
01:37:56.100 Yeah.
01:37:56.340 That's a huge detail in the story.
01:37:58.280 I mean, maybe people didn't read the whole story.
01:37:59.820 It was in like the New York Times.
01:38:01.120 So, you know, maybe it didn't make the rounds because I think it was targeted more to people
01:38:05.980 to feel badly about how Hunter Biden is being attacked all the time.
01:38:10.020 That was the kind of the premise of the article.
01:38:11.680 That's not what I took from it.
01:38:13.120 888-727-BECK.
01:38:14.500 More coming up in a minute.
01:38:16.880 All right.
01:38:17.280 You have to declare a lot of things when you're traveling on a plane.
01:38:19.660 Guns, ammunition, knives, swords, everything.
01:38:22.340 But, you know, there's some things that you don't have to declare.
01:38:25.420 Like, for example, your burnout launcher.
01:38:27.700 This is a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will send potential threats
01:38:33.000 running in the opposite direction.
01:38:34.080 By the way, don't try to take it on your carry-on luggage.
01:38:36.280 This is something you'd have to check.
01:38:37.920 And you can check an actual firearm, but you have to declare it and there's a whole process.
01:38:42.280 This is something that can protect your life and it's legal in all 50 states.
01:38:45.100 You don't have to declare it when you put it in your checked luggage.
01:38:48.380 There's no background checks needed.
01:38:51.100 All age groups over 18 can get these things.
01:38:53.960 And, you know, my wife, I bought one for my wife for her birthday.
01:38:57.720 You might say, well, that's an interesting birthday gift.
01:38:59.660 Well, she freaking loved it.
01:39:00.880 The Burna launcher is awesome.
01:39:02.500 And it has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.
01:39:07.320 One shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

01:39:27.140 You know, it's perfect for my wife because she doesn't necessarily want to carry a gun around everywhere.
01:39:30.980 Not necessarily 100% comfortable with a firearm.

01:39:39.080 Station ID.
01:39:48.920 You think the deer are wearing Kevlar vests?
01:39:52.260 No, I don't think so.
01:39:53.680 I don't think they are.
01:39:55.240 Has he stopped using that one?
01:39:56.380 He used that constantly for a while.
01:39:58.740 He uses it all the time on the gun.
01:39:59.960 Anytime gun control comes up, he's got to do the Kevlar vest line.
01:40:05.400 You think the deer are wearing Kevlar vests?
01:40:09.280 Well, sometimes.
01:40:10.020 I mean, not every time, maybe, but you never know when they're going to have the vest on and when they're not.
01:40:14.660 That's why you need the 100 rounds.
01:40:16.600 That's why.
01:40:17.080 Right.
01:40:17.300 Or they might take it off.
01:40:19.060 Yeah.
01:40:19.620 Right.
01:40:20.160 You need 100 rounds to shoot through the Kevlar.
01:40:21.580 I will say that idea of the Second Amendment as something that is designed to shoot deer is an interesting thought.
01:40:29.600 Yeah.
01:40:29.840 Well, and that's why he falls back on that all the time.
01:40:32.580 He thinks that's what people think.
01:40:33.960 Oh, it's about hunting.
01:40:34.700 And obviously, a lot of people bring up hunting when you're talking about the Second Amendment.
01:40:37.540 I don't, honestly, because number one, I have, and this is no offense to people who do, I have literally no interest in hunting whatsoever.
01:40:46.280 There will never be a time I will use my weapon to shoot a deer.
01:40:49.460 I might run one over with my car by mistake, but I have no interest in that.
01:40:54.140 It's just not my thing.
01:40:54.960 It's not the culture I grew up in.
01:40:56.060 It's not my thing.
01:40:57.940 So, what I do, but I do really care passionately about the Second Amendment for the reasons the Second Amendment exists.
01:41:04.940 Protecting yourself, protecting yourself against a government that's out of control, and protecting my home from people who might break into it, who threaten my family.
01:41:15.260 Like, those are all reasons.
01:41:17.120 I mean, sporting is another reason.
01:41:18.780 Hunting is another reason.
01:41:19.920 But there's side reasons.
01:41:21.880 You want to shoot, shoot, you go skeet shooting, you know, it's fun.
01:41:25.360 But that is not what the Second Amendment is designed for.
01:41:29.380 No, it really isn't.
01:41:31.380 But that's, I mean, to listen to these people, they have, they pretend, at least, not to know that that's not what it was designed for.
01:41:39.940 And then if they ever mention what it was designed for, and that's protection, both, you know, for yourself and your family, and against an out-of-control government, they act like that's absurd, too.
01:41:51.120 Well, you can't, you don't have F-15s.
01:41:54.600 You don't have nuclear weapons.
01:41:57.460 You can't buy a cannon.
01:42:01.260 I mean, everything he says on the gun control issue is completely, completely wrong.
01:42:06.600 I hate that point.
01:42:07.840 It's so stupid.
01:42:09.160 And I think it's effective to most people.
01:42:11.380 Oh, well, you're not going to win a war against the government.
01:42:13.800 They have F-15s and nuclear weapons.
01:42:16.600 Yeah, I guess, yeah.
01:42:17.780 Yeah, they do.
01:42:18.280 And, of course, this is designed to give you a picture from, like, a movie where, like, you're standing on your porch and the U.S. government rolls down your driveway and you have your AR-15 and they're bringing, like, missile launchers for some reason.
01:42:30.020 And a tank.
01:42:30.620 Right.
01:42:30.860 Now, yes, in that scenario, you would lose.
01:42:33.500 That is true.
01:42:34.320 However, I will say that, number one, yes, the government can win a war, I suppose, by nuking its own cities.
01:42:40.520 That's typically not what it does, right?
01:42:42.600 And what they would need to do to root out the millions of guns in this country and take over and implement some sort of bizarre dictatorship would be to do what the U.S. military tries to do when they go into Afghanistan, for example, and have to go door to door against people who don't have weapons and still they struggle, right?
01:43:02.940 Like, it's freaking hard to do.
01:43:05.300 If your population is armed, to take over a country and go door to door, even if you have the most powerful military in the world, is really, really hard.
01:43:13.820 It's why people don't do it.
01:43:15.200 And that's why the first step in controlling your people is to remove the guns.
01:43:20.800 Yep.
01:43:21.220 Every time.
01:43:21.860 Right.
01:43:22.320 I mean, Nazi Germany did it.
01:43:24.080 Of course.
01:43:24.960 They've always done this because you don't want to go up against an armed citizenry and that makes it so much easier for the government.
01:43:31.600 It's why it's a joke in The Princess Bride.
01:43:34.340 You never go into a land war in Asia, but only slightly less known.
01:43:39.400 That's why that line's in there.
01:43:40.800 It's so well known because it's so freaking hard to do.
01:43:43.380 It's really, really difficult to do.
01:43:46.540 And, you know, that's why we still have the Constitution from a couple hundred years ago.
01:43:53.500 It's why.
01:43:54.240 Even though it's old and dusty now.
01:43:55.060 It's old and dusty, but it's lasted a long time because the Second Amendment is there to defend it.
01:43:59.320 And it's not about winning a war against the government.
01:44:02.040 It's that the government never wants to launch that war because they know how it would go.
01:44:10.700 Ever since 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been helping out America's greatest heroes and their families.
01:44:18.780 I want you to meet the Arno family.
01:44:20.340 The father, Jason Arno, was a firefighter in Buffalo.
01:44:23.280 He was sadly killed while protecting his community and fighting a warehouse fire.
01:44:29.100 He leaves behind a wife and a young daughter.
01:44:32.100 Well, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation found out about this and they made some real improvements for the family.
01:44:39.900 They stepped in.
01:44:40.820 They paid off the mortgage for their home.
01:44:42.660 They lifted a huge financial burden and made it so that the Arnos could remain in the place where they'd made so many memories with their hero.
01:44:49.860 Please join the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in its mission to do good, to support the families of America's greatest heroes.
01:44:56.580 The families of first responders like Jason Arno, plus Gold Star families with young children, catastrophically injured service members, and homeless veterans.
01:45:05.000 More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation goes to its programs.
01:45:10.580 Donate 11 bucks a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.
01:45:14.800 It's T, the number 2, T.org, T2T.org.
01:45:19.980 Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday, 7 to 9, Eastern, live, or anytime and anywhere you get your podcasts.
01:45:44.800 Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.
01:45:57.120 Just one more thing on the gun situation.
01:45:59.720 Of course, Hunter is on trial for the illegal gun ownership or the filling out the form and profit, lying on the form.
01:46:07.060 And it's fascinating to me that that's going on as Biden has been, you know, trying to bring about the end of the Second Amendment all these years, lying about everything he possibly can, saying things like this.
01:46:25.580 You're driving your automobile here, and you left in the key in the parking lot, you left the key in the ignition, and a kid came up and jumped in and stole it, and he got in a crash.
01:46:36.940 You're liable, civilly.
01:46:38.780 Why in God's name do people not have to lock up their firearms?
01:46:42.640 Why is that not a requirement?
01:46:44.300 Why is that?
01:46:44.760 All these mass murders, not this weekend, but have them because people have picked up, kids have grabbed stuff off of counters.
01:46:51.860 Right, how many times have we seen that?
01:46:53.080 Anyway, I've started saying something completely false, so I'll say anyway and just act like everyone understands it.
01:47:01.820 Yep.
01:47:02.280 That is his approach.
01:47:03.160 It is.
01:47:04.140 Yeah.
01:47:04.400 That's a fun little quirk he has.
01:47:05.020 It's one of his techniques.
01:47:06.100 Yes.
01:47:06.640 When he gets into an area where he either is saying something he shouldn't be saying or something he knows is blatantly false.
01:47:13.020 Right.
01:47:13.700 And he knows it's going to be proven false.
01:47:15.180 And he can't finish the sentence anyway.
01:47:16.960 Right.
01:47:17.480 Or doesn't know where he's going.
01:47:18.500 He doesn't know where he's going.
01:47:19.540 Yeah.
01:47:19.700 Yeah.
01:47:20.020 Yeah.
01:47:21.020 Like the line, oh, these mass shootings come from the people that are leaving their guns on the countertop.
01:47:30.180 Yeah.
01:47:30.400 How many times have we heard that?
01:47:32.260 People leaving their guns on the countertop.
01:47:34.580 And one of the kids just takes them and goes and kills a bunch of people.
01:47:38.840 If we had a nickel for every time that's happened, the countertop gun problem.
01:47:42.700 Well, and if only for, you know, these murderers who go and kill everyone, if they just had to have their guns locked up, they wouldn't do it.
01:47:50.280 Because they'd be locked.
01:47:52.520 So they couldn't kill.
01:47:53.980 That's right.
01:47:54.600 Mm-hmm.
01:47:55.320 And what if it was illegal to kill people?
01:47:58.140 Then what would you do?
01:47:59.200 You wouldn't be able to.
01:48:00.300 That would actually, it's a great idea.
01:48:02.780 Yeah.
01:48:03.000 If we just made murder illegal.
01:48:05.320 We wouldn't have to worry about the guns being locked up.
01:48:07.180 We'd just tell people they're not allowed to kill people.
01:48:09.740 We should have thought of that at the beginning.
01:48:11.320 I wish we would have.
01:48:12.220 I mean, it's almost like it should have been in the first 10 rules we learned.
01:48:16.420 Yeah.
01:48:16.760 Yeah.
01:48:17.320 Just doubt.
01:48:18.320 That would have been a really good idea.
01:48:19.660 Shall not.
01:48:21.780 Kill.
01:48:22.460 Kill.
01:48:22.980 Something like that.
01:48:23.760 I don't have the wording down.
01:48:25.080 I'm just saying that something like that would have been a great idea at some point.
01:48:28.760 What if we kick it around and see what we can come up with?
01:48:30.940 Probably going to take some time.
01:48:32.100 Yeah.
01:48:32.760 It probably will.
01:48:33.460 That is a fascinating thing.
01:48:34.480 I mean, there have been a couple of cases.
01:48:36.680 There's a couple that I can think of.
01:48:38.000 Where they pick things up off the counter?
01:48:39.500 Not necessarily off the counter, but there is an issue with taking parents' guns, right?
01:48:45.020 Well, yeah.
01:48:45.720 That's the type of thing.
01:48:46.500 Okay, yes.
01:48:46.640 But a lot of times they are locked up.
01:48:48.160 The kid figures out how to get them.
01:48:50.200 And that's why so many of these gun laws are so stupid.
01:48:55.240 Because even the mental health issue, if you're going to be like, oh, well, we're going to stop people with certain mental health issues from buying guns.
01:49:04.360 It's like, okay, well, I understand why it kind of makes sense logically.
01:49:09.840 But also, like, they live a lot of times with other people who aren't, don't have those issues, right?
01:49:15.380 Like, so you're going to prevent them because they live?
01:49:18.100 Like, does the mom of a disturbed kid, are they unable to buy firearms?
01:49:22.700 They lose their constitutional rights, too, because their kid might do something terrible in the future?
01:49:27.280 Now, I mean, look, locking up your guns, if you're in that situation, obviously a good idea.
01:49:30.960 But there have been situations where kids have broken into safes.
01:49:35.700 I mean, you know, that's what happens.
01:49:38.240 You know, again, it's really hard to stop this from happening.
01:49:41.380 Really hard.
01:49:42.220 Really hard.
01:49:42.940 It's a really hard problem to solve.
01:49:43.480 You know what we could do is just make ammunition so expensive nobody can afford it.
01:49:47.200 That might be a good way to go.
01:49:49.400 Or guns so expensive you can't get it.
01:49:52.080 Or we allow people to sue manufacturers, which they keep saying you can't do and you can.
01:49:58.280 They keep saying it's the only industry that can't be sued.
01:50:02.440 You heard him make that claim?
01:50:03.680 The gun manufacturers are the only industry you cannot sue.
01:50:07.960 Well, there's many lawsuits against gun manufacturers going on right now.
01:50:12.740 So that's going to be news to a lot of these companies from every approach.
01:50:18.400 You can sue them and other industries have similar protections.
01:50:24.220 I mean, it's just dumb.
01:50:25.600 It's like, I was listening to, I was reading a story about a guy who's accused of being a serial killer.
01:50:32.520 And he, it's in Long Island and they arrested him last year or so, I think.
01:50:39.740 It's pretty recently.
01:50:40.700 And the story was he was like, he was living a double life.
01:50:44.000 He had a family and everything.
01:50:45.700 And when they'd go away, he'd go and pick up hookers and murder them and dump them by the beach.
01:50:53.940 Wow.
01:50:54.740 Yeah.
01:50:55.200 A guy with a family was doing this?
01:50:56.480 Yeah.
01:50:56.920 And was doing it.
01:50:57.760 And they apparently had no idea.
01:50:59.240 Even the, even the investigators believe that they didn't know about it.
01:51:03.120 Eventually he dropped a pizza crust in a trash can.
01:51:10.020 They picked up the pizza crust, were able to match the, match the DNA, which is incredible how this stuff happens.
01:51:15.240 Now he had been a suspect, like some podcasts were accusing him of it, but like, it wasn't really known if he was.
01:51:20.700 And that's how they wound up catching him.
01:51:22.360 Anyway, long story of that short, in the middle of that, one of the ways they were pointed to him is they, he had a first generation Chevrolet Avalanche.
01:51:31.720 I don't know if you remember the Chevrolet Avalanche, but it was like this sort of in between truck SUV thing that they tried for a while.
01:51:39.900 Very distinctive car.
01:51:41.160 It was a, you know, it was a sort of a strange vehicle and, and didn't, they didn't sell an incredible amount of them.
01:51:48.580 They were able to figure out, okay, this guy had a Chevrolet Avalanche.
01:51:51.520 And as I was reading it, I was like, why can't you sue Chevrolet?
01:51:57.340 Why not?
01:51:58.260 Was the car used in him?
01:51:59.040 It was a tool that he utilized to hide these bodies.
01:52:03.160 Right.
01:52:03.360 It was a tool he utilized to commit these crimes.
01:52:06.720 To get to the crime, probably.
01:52:07.360 To get to the crime, to pick up the victims, to, to transfer the bodies.
01:52:12.540 All, it's, and the reason that's dumb is the reason that it's dumb to sue gun manufacturers.
01:52:21.280 It's the same thing.
01:52:22.860 Because you use a tool in a way it is not designed.
01:52:26.900 Right.
01:52:27.080 And you might say, well, God is designed to kill.
01:52:29.900 Yes, but it's not designed to kill people, uh, who are victims of crimes.
01:52:35.260 It's, it's designed to protect you, to kill an attacker.
01:52:38.400 Just like a Chevrolet Avalanche is not designed to transfer dead bodies to hiding places.
01:52:46.000 Are you sure?
01:52:46.840 Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
01:52:47.880 That's not one of the goals?
01:52:49.040 I mean, we could look at their marketing materials, but I don't think so.
01:52:51.480 And it's like, you're, the job of, of the Chevrolet Avalanche is, it's going to be utilized like the person who owns it wants to utilize it.
01:53:00.160 If they want to use it to run down a parade route and run over people, that's not Chevrolet's fault.
01:53:06.700 Right?
01:53:07.020 It's, it would be insane to suggest you would, you would, uh, just, just sue the Chevrolet, Chevrolet over the Avalanche.
01:53:15.260 You know, despite, maybe for the look of it, it really wasn't, in my view, an attractive vehicle.
01:53:19.880 So maybe you'd just be like, this is just too awful.
01:53:22.080 You guys shouldn't have made it.
01:53:23.640 Maybe you can justify that lawsuit, but not because he, a murderer used it to transfer bodies.
01:53:30.720 It's insane.
01:53:31.960 Speaking of unattractive, it's sort of a side issue here, but speaking of unattractive new vehicles, what do you think of the, of the Tesla Cybertruck?
01:53:41.920 I mean, we had one in the neighborhood.
01:53:43.660 Everybody in the neighborhood converged on it.
01:53:46.560 Fascinated by it.
01:53:46.940 Because they're just fascinated by this.
01:53:48.380 It looks like a deformed DeLorean to me.
01:53:52.220 It is, I think, literally the ugliest vehicle ever produced.
01:53:58.060 Yeah, I do too.
01:53:58.680 I can't describe how much I hate it.
01:54:00.920 People love it and are fascinated by it.
01:54:02.480 I am fascinated by it.
01:54:03.320 And everywhere it goes, uh, people are drawn to it like, like it's a giant magnet.
01:54:09.600 That is absolutely true.
01:54:11.360 It's made out of things that would draw people.
01:54:15.060 Um, this is a bit of a side point, but like, I think you're, you're right.
01:54:19.180 And I, again, I have mixed feelings about Elon Musk generally.
01:54:22.980 Like some of the stuff he does, I love.
01:54:24.520 Yeah.
01:54:24.740 Some of the stuff he does, I don't love.
01:54:26.200 The global warming stuff, I'll never probably get over with him.
01:54:28.800 No, I know.
01:54:28.960 So I, I, I have my issues.
01:54:30.440 But there's some stuff he does.
01:54:31.440 I love.
01:54:31.740 I think he's a fascinating figure and an overall net positive for the country by a, by a significant
01:54:37.660 margin.
01:54:38.460 That being said, the Cybertruck is hideous.
01:54:41.420 It is a hideous, hideous vehicle.
01:54:44.800 And I, I, it's inexplicable to me.
01:54:47.040 I don't know why.
01:54:47.600 I can't believe it's, that's why it's fascinating.
01:54:50.160 It's inexplicable.
01:54:51.700 It's like the most, it's like the craziest thing ever done by a company.
01:54:55.520 It is.
01:54:56.600 Yeah, it is.
01:54:57.180 It's like, and I think I had heard that it was started by like a drawing of one of his
01:55:02.400 kids, by one of his kids of like what a car should look like.
01:55:05.140 I would believe that.
01:55:05.520 I could believe it.
01:55:06.500 I believe it completely, whether it's true or not.
01:55:08.940 It can also cut your fingers off if you're not careful, which is maybe a problem.
01:55:13.220 Yeah.
01:55:13.600 Maybe an issue.
01:55:14.240 And this fits totally with the, with the Musk profile.
01:55:17.540 I read a biography of his a little while ago.
01:55:19.880 And like, he's just one of these guys that just tries stuff.
01:55:22.380 Like, and I think there's real positives to that.
01:55:24.540 Like a real, the Starlink's also crazy, right?
01:55:28.820 It's a really cool entrepreneurial spirit.
01:55:30.720 Yeah.
01:55:31.500 That you got to applaud in America.
01:55:33.100 But like, he'll just do stuff and it's like, okay, well, hey, by the way, we just noticed
01:55:36.460 that the, you know, it's cutting off, it could cut off fingers.
01:55:38.980 And like, it's not like something he would stop.
01:55:41.180 No.
01:55:41.620 Right?
01:55:41.840 Like he just would keep going.
01:55:43.280 People keep doing these tests where they put like carrots in the trunk as it's closing.
01:55:48.140 And it slices them right in half.
01:55:50.320 Yep.
01:55:50.600 It sure does.
01:55:51.560 Doesn't back off.
01:55:52.660 The safety features aren't there.
01:55:53.940 It's sharp edged.
01:55:56.000 I would have loved to have been in the initial meeting.
01:55:57.960 Like, hey, what if we build the ugliest vehicle ever made?
01:56:02.680 Okay.
01:56:03.380 Yeah.
01:56:03.560 Let's see if we can sell it.
01:56:04.740 I think the book does describe the initial meeting and it was not well received initially
01:56:09.000 inside the company.
01:56:10.220 But people are, were so basically intimidated, I would say, by Musk.
01:56:16.640 And like, you better not be on his wrong side.
01:56:18.620 You know, people just go along with it.
01:56:20.040 I mean, like, and there's so many talented people, they can do it.
01:56:22.860 And look, Musk was right on a lot of this stuff.
01:56:25.560 Like, it was also crazy to start an electric car company.
01:56:28.520 Right.
01:56:28.840 You know, and that worked.
01:56:30.560 It was crazy to just say, I'm going to go to space.
01:56:32.940 Like, I'm going to make a, I'm going to compete with NASA.
01:56:35.580 Like, that was also crazy.
01:56:36.640 Like, a lot of his ideas are crazy.
01:56:37.900 If he misses on a few, hey.
01:56:39.180 Yeah.
01:56:39.320 So, that's the cost of doing business.
01:56:41.400 Got a little sidetracked from where we were going to go, but we'll get to that point coming
01:56:45.160 up here.
01:56:47.040 All right.
01:56:47.440 We have a lot of work to do in this country, as we've noted today.
01:56:50.280 It seems like the battle is always uphill, especially when it comes to fighting against
01:56:53.520 the left's constant efforts to destroy America from within.
01:56:56.540 But, hope persists.
01:56:59.180 And, you know, one of the things you can do is patronize businesses who stand up for the
01:57:03.720 same principles that you stand for.
01:57:05.700 If you switch to Patriot Mobile right now, you're going to get a whole month for free.

01:57:27.440 I got news for you.
01:57:28.260 It's a little different.

01:58:40.960 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:58:55.380 I'll tell you, I have discovered a real problem, I think, in this country.
01:59:01.320 And that's how the U.S. government, especially right now, under the cadaver-in-chief, how they
01:59:10.040 treat small businesses.
01:59:11.740 Don't you have a small business, too?
01:59:13.120 Kind of?
01:59:13.500 You've got, you've set up an LLC.
01:59:15.060 Yeah.
01:59:15.460 We have a small business with the cookie business, which, by the way, if you want to get a cookie
01:59:19.040 and you want to get that Father's Day box to your dad by Father's Day, you got to order
01:59:23.040 by the 10th.
01:59:24.960 So that's Monday.
01:59:25.720 Monday, okay.
01:59:26.460 Okay.
01:59:26.820 Delicious cookies.
01:59:27.780 Really cool box.
01:59:28.560 Get that for your dad.
01:59:29.380 It's really, really good.
01:59:30.340 And get on that, K-E-K-S-I-K-E-X-E.com.
01:59:32.800 I dove into the peanut butter crunch yesterday.
01:59:35.880 Good, isn't it?
01:59:36.640 That's really good.
01:59:37.540 So, so good.
01:59:38.140 And the raspberry lemon thing.
01:59:39.720 Yeah.
01:59:40.040 Raspberry lemonade was the one I had the other day.
01:59:41.400 It was so good.
01:59:42.040 But anyway, you know, we've had this cookie business for what?
01:59:45.660 I don't know, three or four years.
01:59:46.980 And, you know, at the beginning, you just, you reinvest everything.
01:59:50.660 It's like three to five years, they always say, and we're doing the outside of that.
01:59:54.500 We're going five years without really taking anything out of the business.
01:59:57.560 We reinvest.
01:59:58.320 And so it came as a shock to us last year when it became profitable and taxes kicked in.
02:00:08.380 Holy crap.
02:00:10.560 Do they penalize small businesses?
02:00:14.480 Now, small business is what drives this country.
02:00:17.100 And they encourage us all the time to, you know, start a small business, to talk about small business, to frequent small businesses.
02:00:28.160 But man, do they try to put you out of business with the IRS the entire time?
02:00:34.980 I mean, even when you haven't realized the gains yet that you're maybe going to make during the course of the year, you haven't even made the money.
02:00:45.240 It hasn't come into you.
02:00:46.400 But you have to pay taxes on that anyway, because you have to estimate.
02:00:50.920 Because at the end of the year, if you don't, and it turns out you did make money, they penalize you an extra 8%.
02:00:57.800 8%!
02:00:59.960 So along the way, you've got to decide, okay, well, maybe we'll make this amount, so we're going to have to pay the IRS right now this amount in advance.
02:01:09.860 It is a crappy system.
02:01:12.520 And they're just trying to suck the life out of us before we can even get anywhere.
02:01:19.860 And it's just, it's unconscionable.
02:01:21.820 I don't know why we're penalizing businesses in this country the way we are.
02:01:26.460 It's wrong.
02:01:27.220 And you live in Texas.
02:01:28.380 Yeah.
02:01:28.740 Right?
02:01:29.140 Which is relatively friendly.
02:01:31.100 So there's no state income tax.
02:01:32.200 Yeah.
02:01:32.600 This is all from the feds that they're pounding us like this.
02:01:35.360 Yeah.
02:01:35.880 And, you know, and then you've got a situation like the pandemic, which caused everybody to have to pay $20 an hour to 15-year-olds who have no experience in work in the labor industry.
02:01:47.880 And then all of a sudden, the situation catches up to that.
02:01:53.440 And then people are saying, you know what?
02:01:55.540 We can't do this anymore.
02:01:57.040 We're going to have to let you go.
02:01:58.860 And there are no $20 an hour businesses paying that kind of money anymore.
02:02:04.480 And so a lot of these kids are out of work again.
02:02:07.120 The actual minimum wage is $0.
02:02:10.880 No one has to pay you anything.
02:02:13.100 Right?
02:02:13.420 That's the problem.
02:02:14.100 And the federal minimum wage is still, what, $7.25?
02:02:16.900 $7.25.
02:02:17.220 Yeah.
02:02:18.020 But this is, I was mentioning, you know, Texas being at least somewhat friendly.
02:02:21.720 Imagine if you were in California trying to do, you know, kexy cookies.
02:02:24.500 Isn't there a big taco chain there that just went out of, closing a lot of their outlets because of it?
02:02:30.580 We should get into this maybe in more detail tomorrow.
02:02:32.540 But Rubio's Coastal Grill, which, because I clicked on a news story, I've seen their tacos.
02:02:37.440 And now all I want to do is go to Rubio's Coastal Grill.
02:02:41.120 But I will say they had to close down 48 restaurants.
02:02:44.880 And the reasons, you know, it's in California, of course.
02:02:46.940 So the reason, directly to the cost of doing business in California.
02:02:52.860 They do have a mandatory $20 an hour on fast food.
02:02:55.640 Just for fast food workers, which is fascinating.
02:02:58.480 We will have to get into this in more detail tomorrow.
02:03:01.700 See you then.
