00:00:30.000 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:31.980 Glenn is out on vacation this week.

00:00:33.300 It's Pat and Stu for you here today and tomorrow.

00:00:37.740 We are, we've got a lot to talk about.

00:00:39.740 Something just kind of hit my, my desktop here in the last half an hour after going on Pat's show.

00:00:46.400 I was flipping through the news and a story just broke that I was not aware of.

00:00:50.960 It involves sports, but, and it's being promoted as this big sports story, which it is.

00:00:56.440 But it has to do a lot more than that, I think, uh, here.

00:01:01.560 It has to do a lot with the stuff that we talk about on a day-to-day basis on this show.

00:01:06.460 Corruption, perhaps?

00:01:07.660 Massive corruption.

00:01:09.100 Corruption I was not aware of.

00:01:11.740 And it does lead into sports, which is, I guess, the, the, the big breaking news on the, on the sports side of it.

00:01:19.680 But like, I honestly, like as I'm listening to it, it's, it's the lowest piece of the priority chain in my mind.

00:01:25.120 And, uh, we'll get into that here in a couple of minutes.

00:01:28.420 Plus, uh, you know, there's about 58 court rulings came down yesterday.

00:01:32.580 Maybe we can hit that today.

00:01:34.420 Uh, we're talking still about whether Donald Trump is going to go in and try to crack down on crime in a bunch of these cities.

00:01:41.120 That's on the docket today.

00:01:42.380 So, a lot to talk about.

00:01:43.600 We'll get to it here in a second.

00:01:44.560 Hello, America.

00:03:26.320 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:29.800 And welcome to it.

00:03:36.160 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:03:38.300 Got some breaking news that's interesting.

00:03:41.220 Sports related, but also very scandal related.

00:03:45.640 Very corruption related.

00:03:48.120 ESG related.

00:03:49.380 We'll get into it here coming up in one minute.

00:03:53.240 First, I'll tell you about Blinds.com.

00:04:37.180 We had looked at one, and we're like, how about this one?

00:04:39.900 And they said, well, that's a great one, but I can get you one here, this one, which is even, I think, better and less expensive, which was impressive.

00:05:06.520 All right, so apparently, there's been a problem with the recruitment of Kawhi Leonard in the NBA.

00:05:20.820 Yes, and this is how it's...

00:05:22.000 NBA basketball player, if you're not aware of him.

00:05:23.780 Right.

00:05:24.040 This is how it's kind of being promoted as a big story today, which it is a big story if you care about sports.

00:05:29.440 But looking at the details of it, it's the smallest part of the story.

00:05:33.940 This is a fascinating story for our purposes here, Pat.

00:05:39.320 The story comes from Pablo Torre, finds out.

00:05:42.180 Do you know this podcast?

00:05:43.420 I do not.

00:05:44.540 I think he was at ESPN for a while.

00:05:47.040 He's been a podcaster.

00:05:48.660 I've seen bits and pieces of his news coverage.

00:05:51.340 It seems to be like a guy who just dives deep into various sports-related stories.

00:05:57.080 And I've seen a couple of them over the years.

00:05:58.540 He is with The Athletic now.

00:06:01.120 And he reports this.

00:06:03.840 And it is being promoted as this big story about Kawhi Leonard.

00:06:07.740 Basically, what is being alleged is that Kawhi Leonard, who's a big-star basketball player,

00:06:12.620 he's in 2019, wins the NBA championship with the Toronto Raptors and becomes a free agent.

00:06:17.940 Everybody in the league wants to sign this guy.

00:06:19.780 He's the best player in the league at the time and is the most sought-after free agent.

00:06:25.740 Everyone's making offers.

00:06:27.040 Everyone's doing everything that they can.

00:06:29.540 And he winds up signing with the Los Angeles Clippers, which is surprising.

00:06:36.940 Clippers don't usually land the biggest free agents.

00:06:40.020 But they wind up signing Kawhi Leonard.

00:06:43.560 And they trade for Paul George, another big star from Oklahoma City.

00:06:47.160 In that trade, the MVP of the league, Shea Gilgis Alexander, goes to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

00:06:55.640 So this is a massive trade in the league history.

00:06:57.820 It kind of changes the power balance of the entire league.

00:07:00.920 The Oklahoma City Thunder, of course, go to win the championship this past year.

00:07:04.520 Again, that's not what's important to us, but just to set up why this is a big deal.

00:07:08.660 In that free agent courtship by a bunch of these teams, there is a whisper, a whisper of impropriety.

00:07:23.640 A secret payment.

00:07:24.500 A secret payment was the allegation.

00:07:28.860 Allegation.

00:07:29.440 Thank you.

00:07:29.680 They were talking about this as a situation where they were alleging that he got this payment sort of under the table.

00:07:39.020 Why else would he go to the Clippers?

00:07:41.080 And there was, you know, a family member involved and, you know, a bunch of shadiness.

00:07:45.040 Nothing ever shown to be, you know, proven.

00:07:47.480 So, long story short, as they're going through this story, it leads back to a company called Aspiration.

00:07:58.080 Are you familiar with this company, Aspiration?

00:08:00.760 I'm not.

00:08:01.520 No.

00:08:02.460 So, Aspiration is a company built by two big Democratic officials.

00:08:10.500 Two guys that I can't think the names are familiar.

00:08:12.880 One was a, he was the head of, I think, the Arizona Democratic Party at one point.

00:08:17.840 Another guy.

00:08:18.500 They're both from Harvard.

00:08:19.700 You know, one of them had run for Congress.

00:08:22.860 They were well known in Democratic circles.

00:08:26.080 And wound up starting this, what basically turned out to be a green bank, okay, called Aspiration.

00:08:33.160 They got basically every celebrity you'd recognize as an annoying green promoting leftist to talk about this company.

00:08:44.440 It was a massive deal.

00:08:46.420 Multi-billion dollar company this thing became.

00:08:50.620 And they had, you know, Robert Downey Jr. doing the commercials, Leonardo DiCaprio.

00:08:56.700 The list of celebrities is, they're all A-listers.

00:08:59.920 So, they go through this whole process.

00:09:03.820 And their business was interesting, Pat.

00:09:07.000 Because let's say you go and you decide to start a styrofoam burning and oil consuming conglomerate of your own.

00:09:18.180 The Pat Gray styrofoam and oil conglomerate.

00:09:22.600 How did you find out about that?

00:09:24.140 Oh, is that, you actually have that?

00:09:26.000 That is what I just started.

00:09:27.260 Oh, really?

00:09:27.640 You recently, a styrofoam burning conglomerate.

00:09:32.560 A company that just exists to burn styrofoam.

00:09:35.460 Yes.

00:09:36.280 That's a shocking.

00:09:37.540 And oil.

00:09:38.360 Of course.

00:09:38.880 Oh, yeah.

00:09:39.360 The oil helps burn.

00:09:40.520 Styrofoam and oil.

00:09:41.500 Yes.

00:09:41.600 Okay.

00:09:41.820 Yeah.

00:09:42.220 So, you started this company, Pat.

00:09:44.020 Yeah.

00:09:44.660 And I know your work as a styrofoam burner is very important to you.

00:09:50.640 Yeah.

00:09:50.780 As well as oil.

00:09:51.700 I don't want to leave that out.

00:09:52.400 Right.

00:09:52.600 But let's just say someone else might feel bad about the damage they're doing to the environment.

00:09:59.660 They want to be known as green.

00:10:01.200 This is the ESG era.

00:10:02.620 It's 2021, 2022 in there.

00:10:04.960 You know, well, I mean, it had existed before that, but you know that era.

00:10:08.840 Yeah.

00:10:08.960 Everyone's trying to be ESG friendly.

00:10:10.860 They want to be known as a green company.

00:10:12.820 So, how do you do such a thing?

00:10:14.980 You know, major sports franchises were working with this quote unquote green bank that would say,

00:10:21.160 hey, we just built this massive stadium.

00:10:24.100 We need to offset the carbon.

00:10:26.480 Right.

00:10:27.800 First of all, no, you don't.

00:10:29.220 Secondly, the way they would do that is they would, of course, plant trees.

00:10:32.920 So, you would go and you would pay this company a bunch of money to get their certification that you were ESG friendly and they would plant trees.

00:10:42.280 Now, of course, they wouldn't actually plant trees.

00:10:44.560 They would quote unquote broker trees to be so stupid.

00:10:51.060 So, they don't even actually do the carbon offset thing?

00:10:54.640 No, they don't do it.

00:10:55.980 Does anybody do it?

00:10:57.120 They broker outside firms to do it.

00:10:59.860 Now, I don't know.

00:11:00.580 All right.

00:11:00.820 If it was, I'm sure it was done sometimes, probably not done other times.

00:11:03.900 You know the trees have never been planted.

00:11:04.540 Right.

00:11:05.040 Come on.

00:11:05.920 Now, according to the podcast, they were charging five to ten times the amount that it costs.

00:11:16.560 I love this stuff.

00:11:17.760 Five to ten times the amount it costs to plant a tree, which is apparently about 10 to 20 cents a pop.

00:11:23.760 You want to plant a tree?

00:11:24.560 10 to 20 cents.

00:11:25.360 Now, I could do it cheaper than that.

00:11:26.500 But okay, 10 to 20 cents.

00:11:27.800 All right.

00:11:28.080 That's what the...

00:11:29.480 Per tree.

00:11:29.780 The ESG corporate industrial rate is typically 10 to 20 cents.

00:11:34.620 They were charging these organizations a dollar to do the same stuff.

00:11:38.720 Okay.

00:11:39.020 Now, you can see the scam building here, right?

00:11:41.260 Yep.

00:11:41.600 Yep.

00:11:42.160 So, they wind up charging all this money.

00:11:48.380 They raise hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:11:51.860 The company winds up growing to multiple billions of dollars in this period.

00:11:55.340 And it's similar to...

00:11:56.340 We talked about it yesterday, the George Floyd era, where everybody's just throwing money at BLM to make themselves feel good, even though BLM is just buying houses with it.

00:12:05.980 Right?

00:12:06.160 Like, it's that type of thing.

00:12:07.780 So, the same thing's going on with the ESG stuff.

00:12:10.440 They are supposedly offsetting all this carbon for these massive organizations.

00:12:14.920 And, you know, is any of that happening?

00:12:17.880 Yeah.

00:12:18.700 Probably not.

00:12:19.740 Probably not.

00:12:19.760 But, you know...

00:12:20.320 Probably not.

00:12:20.860 At the very least, overcharging for it.

00:12:23.320 Mm-hmm.

00:12:23.640 So, they get all this money.

00:12:26.380 They get all these donations.

00:12:28.000 Eventually, one of the two Democratic officials winds up getting arrested for, like, fraud.

00:12:32.280 Mm-hmm.

00:12:32.620 Okay.

00:12:33.640 And when that happens, a few days later, the entire thing goes bankrupt.

00:12:39.340 So, aspiration...

00:12:40.860 Aspiration goes bankrupt.

00:12:41.980 Completely went out...

00:12:42.680 Wow.

00:12:43.060 Multiple billion dollar...

00:12:44.840 Wow.

00:12:45.380 ...organization.

00:12:46.020 It's like an Enron thing.

00:12:46.700 Yeah.

00:12:47.160 All built on this, you know, I would argue, green scam from the beginning.

00:12:51.180 But, they're even scamming the people who wanted to be involved in the green scam.

00:12:55.300 That's how bad this is.

00:12:56.340 Wow.

00:12:56.900 Right?

00:12:57.460 Wow.

00:12:58.200 So, what they find, and at the end of the story here, and you can, you know, you should

00:13:02.760 get...

00:13:03.140 It's worth listening to.

00:13:04.460 You know, it's a fascinating tale.

00:13:08.640 Pablo Torre finds out is the name of the podcast if you don't know it.

00:13:11.200 But, they had, in the bankruptcy filing, they list the companies that they owe the most

00:13:18.860 money to.

00:13:19.980 Mm-hmm.

00:13:20.860 Third or fourth on the list is a company called KL2 Incorporated or something.

00:13:27.360 Kawhi Leonard.

00:13:27.860 Kawhi Leonard.

00:13:28.600 He's number two.

00:13:30.600 He has an...

00:13:31.080 It's some LLC where they owe him $7 million.

00:13:34.980 Now, in theory, okay, maybe he was a celebrity endorser.

00:13:41.940 They had a marketing deal with him.

00:13:43.520 Well, that was what they said happened.

00:13:46.440 However, no one can find any example of him ever talking about this at all.

00:13:52.980 So, did they pay him the $21 million?

00:13:54.640 Because he...

00:13:54.920 It was $28 total, yeah.

00:13:56.140 $28 million total that was paid to him in secret, right?

00:14:00.640 That nobody knew about.

00:14:01.680 Yeah.

00:14:01.820 So, that they could avoid...

00:14:02.480 And he did no work for.

00:14:03.160 They could avoid the salary cap.

00:14:06.260 And so, it's just endorsement money, which doesn't count toward the salary cap.

00:14:11.180 That's what they're alleging.

00:14:11.960 Right?

00:14:12.060 That's what they're saying.

00:14:12.700 Basically, you can't just pay somebody extra above the salary cap or it would be unfair

00:14:16.180 and the salary cap wouldn't mean anything.

00:14:17.740 So, the...

00:14:18.860 But, their endorsement deals are separate.

00:14:21.440 Are part of that.

00:14:21.960 But, you can't promise those to players all that would be in the salary cap.

00:14:25.920 So, what the...

00:14:26.860 And this is all alleged.

00:14:27.880 But, what they...

00:14:28.920 The allegation here is that they basically, you know, Steve Ballmer, who's one of the richest

00:14:34.000 men in the world, owns the Clippers.

00:14:36.380 He's involved in this aspiration thing at some level.

00:14:40.600 They wind up saying, hey, Kawhi, we'll give you $28 million basically under the table.

00:14:48.320 Yeah.

00:14:48.920 He...

00:14:49.320 Now, instead of just, I don't know, faking a few tweets about it, which would at least

00:14:53.420 cover your butt.

00:14:54.460 Yeah.

00:14:54.820 They do nothing.

00:14:55.660 He does nothing.

00:14:56.320 He never says anything about it.

00:14:57.420 He never mentions it in any interview.

00:14:58.840 He never does anything for aspiration.

00:15:01.220 Ever.

00:15:01.660 Nothing.

00:15:02.360 That's amazing.

00:15:03.220 At least as far as...

00:15:04.220 Wow.

00:15:04.540 ...he's been able to be found so far.

00:15:06.660 Wow.

00:15:06.940 He gets absolutely nothing out of the deal.

00:15:09.360 And he never tweets about it and never mentions it in any context and gets $28 million for this.

00:15:14.640 How hard would it be?

00:15:15.340 Just tweet.

00:15:16.200 Yeah.

00:15:16.400 Just throw out a few, I don't know, maybe throw out, get your people to throw up a couple

00:15:20.380 of messages and at least you could justify it.

00:15:22.220 But they never bothered to do that, which is why it becomes a sports scandal.

00:15:26.380 But like, step back for a second.

00:15:28.500 First of all, how funny is this that people, and I hate, you know, there are people who have

00:15:33.720 really positive hopes and dreams and really believe this environmental stuff and really

00:15:40.100 want to help.

00:15:40.860 And in some ways you kind of feel bad for them.

00:15:42.880 In other ways, you just have to laugh because here are people who donated their money, who

00:15:48.400 gave their money to this, who paid this organization for this greenwashing.

00:15:52.920 Yeah.

00:15:53.100 And millions and millions and millions of dollars that were supposed to go to plant trees went

00:15:58.200 to Kawhi Leonard so he could go on the Los Angeles Clippers.

00:16:02.320 Wow.

00:16:02.880 And never tweet about this organization.

00:16:06.480 I mean, it's almost this.

00:16:08.720 I can say this.

00:16:10.000 This is these are all allegations.

00:16:11.300 We'll see how it plays out.

00:16:13.280 But this type of stuff is absolutely infesting this world, this world of these, this world

00:16:22.600 of green companies.

00:16:23.780 It's almost alchemy, Pat.

00:16:27.020 It is like this.

00:16:28.920 This this potential like starting point to just print money because the context of the

00:16:37.500 business is you're planting trees somewhere in Africa to fight back against an invisible

00:16:44.240 gas.

00:16:46.180 What an incredible I mean, you Gordon Gekko dreamed of coming up with an idea like that.

00:16:51.860 Yeah.

00:16:52.320 Do you want to talk about all the greatest scams?

00:16:54.660 Bernie Madoff would have been like, oh, wait, hold on.

00:16:58.020 I don't even have to fake the documents.

00:17:00.020 This is beyond Ponzi would have absolutely adored an idea like this.

00:17:07.320 Enron did more work than this.

00:17:09.460 At least they were doing something.

00:17:11.060 Yeah.

00:17:11.520 Sort of.

00:17:12.340 Sort of.

00:17:13.480 Kinda.

00:17:14.040 Kinda.

00:17:14.880 At least people got energy.

00:17:17.120 Wow.

00:17:17.740 This is accomplishing nothing.

00:17:20.480 It is a giant.

00:17:22.520 It's a it's a rounding error in a massive mathematical equation.

00:17:27.040 If you believe every bit of it, if you believe the only the best things in every single piece

00:17:33.520 of Al Gore's movie and speeches and all the stuff he's done at the very best, it is a rounding

00:17:41.240 error of a giant mathematical equation, which many of its inputs are are self-reported from

00:17:49.280 China.

00:17:50.040 Was there anything else that Aspiration did other than plant trees?

00:17:53.680 That was the main part of their business, other than make commercials with celebrities.

00:17:58.400 Incredible.

00:17:59.460 Just a fascinating story.

00:18:00.900 Yeah, it is.

00:18:01.520 Breaking out.

00:18:01.920 There's going to be because I think you're going to get this first layer of this being

00:18:04.480 sports.

00:18:05.460 But the conservative media and hopefully some some mainstream journalists are going to

00:18:11.980 pick up on this as well and dive into it.

00:18:14.400 It's much bigger than I mean, you know, the people who were running this organization were

00:18:19.320 endorsed by Bill Clinton.

00:18:20.840 Money from the Clinton Foundation was pouring into this organization.

00:18:25.000 There's another thing that should be investigated.

00:18:26.840 Yes.

00:18:27.440 The Clinton Foundation.

00:18:28.580 Yes.

00:18:29.140 That's a massive scam as well.

00:18:31.180 Triple eight, seven, two, seven.

00:18:32.280 Back more coming up in one minute.

00:18:36.580 All right.

00:18:37.100 Let me tell you about relief factor.

00:18:38.560 Some people talk about getting their life back like it's a cliche.

00:18:41.540 But if you've lived with pain, real daily, unrelenting pain, you know, it's not just a

00:18:45.580 phrase.

00:18:45.940 It's a goal.

00:18:46.540 It's a milestone.

00:18:47.440 Sometimes a desperate prayer.

00:18:48.860 You start making tradeoffs without even realizing it.

00:18:51.340 Maybe you stay home instead of going out.

00:18:52.940 Maybe you pass on a family trip because you're not sure you can handle the walking.

00:18:56.720 Maybe you just start shrinking the size of your daily plans a little bit at a time.

00:19:01.000 But what if there was a way to push back just a little bit?

00:19:03.700 Relief factor.

00:19:04.480 It's not magic.

00:19:05.300 It's science backed by doctors designed to target the underlying inflammation that causes

00:19:09.960 so much of our pain.

00:19:11.360 It is a daily supplement that helps your body do what it was made to do.

00:19:14.600 Heal, move, and live with consistency, patience, and a little hope.

00:19:19.360 Relief factor could be a step forward in taking back more than just your mobility.

00:19:23.500 It could allow you to take back you.

00:19:35.860 Did you see the video of something being thrown from the White House?

00:19:54.140 It's kind of strange.

00:19:58.020 I saw something about this.

00:19:59.760 This is – because initially it was reported as real, and then didn't Donald Trump suggest it wasn't?

00:20:06.560 He did suggest it was AI because he said – okay, so you see on the video that something comes out of the White House.

00:20:13.040 You don't know what it is.

00:20:13.960 Something comes out of one of the windows on the second floor of the White House that faces 15th Street or something.

00:20:22.040 So something is thrown out the window, and then Peter Doocy asks the president about it.

00:20:29.780 He says, I don't know anything about that.

00:20:31.640 Can you show me?

00:20:32.480 And so Peter Doocy comes and shows it to him on his phone, and he said, that must be AI because you can't open those windows.

00:20:39.180 Okay, so he's just reacting to this in real time.

00:20:41.320 Yeah.

00:20:41.880 And, you know, it made sense because those windows are bulletproof, right?

00:20:47.700 So you don't just open windows.

00:20:49.520 He said they weigh like 600 pounds or something, and so you don't just open up the window and throw things out of the White House.

00:20:57.480 So you don't know if it's AI or if it's something real or what in the world it would have been that was thrown out of the second-story window at the White House.

00:21:06.420 I don't know, but it's a weird – it's a weird story.

00:21:11.160 But Peter Doocy also asked President Trump.

00:21:13.860 Well, wait, hold on.

00:21:14.720 Before you go off on that one, I had heard, though, that the White House confirmed it was real.

00:21:18.560 Oh, did they?

00:21:20.020 Because I hadn't –

00:21:21.480 Okay, so we don't know yet where this settles.

00:21:23.960 That's what my understanding was, that they said it actually was real.

00:21:27.060 And did they say what it was?

00:21:28.440 Garbage?

00:21:29.000 Is that –

00:21:29.320 Just garbage thrown out the second-story window at the White House?

00:21:33.380 That's what I –

00:21:34.240 It's a weird – that would be a weird thing to do.

00:21:37.800 I didn't see the video, but was it like a black plastic bag type of thing?

00:21:41.940 It was dark – you couldn't really tell because it was from so far away.

00:21:45.200 What's the allegation?

00:21:45.920 It was a corpse?

00:21:46.740 What are they trying to say?

00:21:47.940 It's not big enough for a corpse.

00:21:49.280 So I don't think they're trying to even allege that somebody's throwing dead bodies out of the second-story window.

00:21:54.060 Maybe some of the leftover cocaine from the Biden White House was found?

00:21:58.580 Maybe.

00:21:59.140 Somebody's like, let's get rid of this right now.

00:22:00.880 I love how the media's interested in this, but they were not at all interested in the actual cocaine actually found in the actual White House.

00:22:07.220 Right.

00:22:07.640 We didn't care who that was, why it was there.

00:22:09.920 Can't figure it out, Pat.

00:22:11.020 You will never know.

00:22:12.800 This is the most documented – there's cameras everywhere.

00:22:16.600 Well, not there.

00:22:17.580 Not in that spot.

00:22:19.060 Why would you have cameras at the White House?

00:22:22.060 Yeah, that's true.

00:22:23.420 So, yeah, garbage.

00:22:24.900 Is that the explanation really of the –

00:22:26.740 Let me see if I can find an updated –

00:22:28.380 Look for them because –

00:22:29.360 I don't know why you would be throwing out garbage from the second-story window at the White House, but –

00:22:36.300 It's kind of funny, though.

00:22:38.520 It is funny.

00:22:39.220 Because that's what you do when you just don't feel like carrying it all the way down to the bags leaking.

00:22:42.940 You just kind of toss it out the window.

00:22:45.100 Throw it out the window.

00:22:46.700 What could be down there?

00:22:47.640 You wouldn't think the White House would necessarily engage in such a thing, but hey.

00:22:50.880 I think so, no.

00:22:52.200 It's relatable.

00:22:53.360 Yes.

00:22:53.720 I mean, we've all done it.

00:22:55.300 We've all done it.

00:22:56.280 We've all –

00:22:56.880 Look, I'm not walking this thing all the way downstairs and out to the garbage can.

00:23:01.160 I'm just going to throw it out the window.

00:23:02.640 Gravity always wins.

00:23:03.900 Throw the thing out the window.

00:23:05.100 You know, it'll land.

00:23:06.980 You deal with it down there.

00:23:08.660 It makes a lot of sense.

00:23:09.680 It's called efficiency.

00:23:10.680 We're always complaining about the lack of government efficiency.

00:23:13.000 That's incredibly efficient.

00:23:14.360 Very much so.

00:23:15.820 The other thing is – and we'll get into this in a second – but all of the reports of the president's health right now,

00:23:22.380 all of a sudden, the news media is all over the health of the president.

00:23:28.720 They couldn't be more concerned about what's wrong with a president right now.

00:23:34.100 I mean, they were totally fine with a president who lost his mind and could barely walk for four years.

00:23:41.660 But now that a president has a bruise on his right hand, now they're all over.

00:23:46.880 What is going on with the health of this president?

00:23:50.600 So we'll get into that coming up because Peter Doocy actually asked President Trump about reports that he was actually dead over the weekend.

00:24:00.980 If he responded, I feel like no.

00:24:02.820 He did ask.

00:24:03.560 Yeah, okay.

00:24:04.140 He did respond, and it turns out, no, he's not dead.

00:24:08.900 888-727-PECK.

00:24:10.780 More coming up.

00:24:18.980 This is Glenn Beck.

00:24:23.240 Cozy Earth products bring next-level comfort that shows up day in and day out.

00:24:28.060 Let's talk about their bamboo joggers first.

00:24:29.960 They're seriously buttery soft.

00:24:31.600 I didn't know joggers could feel like this, not like I'm jogging or anything, but I can wear them at home.

00:24:35.900 You can stroll on the beach, even on flights, and they never lose their shape.

00:24:39.500 And the comfort stays consistent no matter where you go.

00:24:42.660 They'll totally redefine how you lounge and live.

00:24:45.640 Now, the Everywhere Pant.

00:24:46.900 It lives up to its name.

00:24:48.020 It's lightweight.

00:24:48.660 It's breathable, incredibly flexible, and yet still polished enough to wear out.

00:24:52.840 You can run errands, catch a movie, pretty much everywhere else.

00:24:55.800 You can take them and wear them, and they look great.

00:24:57.840 And they move with you and always look sharp.

00:25:00.040 And my favorite part is how Cozy Earth nails balance between unmatched comfort and everyday function.

00:25:05.700 They're game changers.

00:25:06.740 And it's not just me.

00:25:07.700 Everybody I know who's tried Cozy Earth is completely hooked.

00:25:32.780 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:25:54.460 888-727-B-E-C-K.

00:25:57.860 Lots of concern now, all of a sudden, about the health of the President of the United States.

00:26:04.020 They weren't concerned at all for four years when they should have been.

00:26:07.600 Here's a guy with dementia.

00:26:10.000 Here's a guy who could barely stand half the time.

00:26:12.680 We played a montage of Joe Biden walking through sand.

00:26:20.460 It looked like the guy was going to collapse at any second.

00:26:23.980 Oh, is that real?

00:26:25.160 I did think that one was AI.

00:26:26.660 Oh, my gosh.

00:26:27.580 I thought that one was AI.

00:26:29.120 No!

00:26:30.340 That was a real clip of him walking through sand?

00:26:32.620 Yeah.

00:26:33.340 Play cut seven.

00:26:34.620 This is Biden falling asleep.

00:26:36.740 This is Biden falling upstairs.

00:26:39.940 And he'll...

00:26:40.620 Whoops.

00:26:41.420 Oh, boy.

00:26:42.680 Look out!

00:26:43.780 Okay, the three times that he tripped, climbing the stairs at Air Force One.

00:26:48.340 And then he finally gets there and salutes.

00:26:50.020 And then he falls over the sandbags.

00:26:53.200 Oh, that looked like it hurt.

00:26:55.060 That's got to hurt.

00:26:56.320 That was a big one in a lot of the books about the election, by the way.

00:26:58.920 And he's helped up.

00:26:59.780 That particular incident.

00:27:00.260 Yeah?

00:27:00.500 Okay.

00:27:00.980 And then this.

00:27:02.360 This is walking through this.

00:27:04.720 Okay.

00:27:06.020 I mean, look at that.

00:27:07.160 Is that...

00:27:08.160 That's a healthy...

00:27:10.160 That's a real clip.

00:27:11.660 Feral man?

00:27:12.240 Yeah.

00:27:13.480 Yeah.

00:27:13.820 It's he and Jill walking on the beach.

00:27:15.920 Sharp as a tack.

00:27:16.600 Delaware.

00:27:17.160 Wow.

00:27:17.600 Sharp as a tack.

00:27:18.260 Nobody...

00:27:18.780 20-year-olds can't keep up with the guy.

00:27:20.660 Mr. President!

00:27:21.120 Mr. President!

00:27:22.460 Mr. President!

00:27:23.300 Mr. President, what are you going to say to Trump on Wednesday?

00:27:27.380 Mr. President, why can't you walk?

00:27:30.240 It's black.

00:27:31.700 Anyway.

00:27:32.760 Then he trips over the color black, I guess.

00:27:35.860 Well, you can't be expected to...

00:27:39.540 He almost fell face first on the stairs in wherever that was.

00:27:43.500 China, I think, or Japan.

00:27:45.580 Then he falls up the stairs again.

00:27:47.740 Yep.

00:27:48.240 Oh, boy.

00:27:49.260 Oh, look out.

00:27:50.680 He's got a...

00:27:51.100 He touched down not even four hours ago.

00:27:53.600 That was a quick trip.

00:27:54.840 But as you said, very impactful.

00:27:55.520 And, again, almost fell.

00:28:01.500 Oh, somebody has to grab his arm, help him.

00:28:05.540 Allocated to invest...

00:28:06.560 Falls again up the stairs.

00:28:08.120 Trips.

00:28:08.500 Really had a problem with the stairs.

00:28:09.600 He really did.

00:28:10.220 Training of police officers, it appears that the president did have a slight trip there

00:28:15.100 as he's boarding Air Force One.

00:28:16.900 Thank you, but there's no problem.

00:28:18.020 Don't worry about it.

00:28:18.600 Oh, this is my favorite one right there.

00:28:19.780 I love this.

00:28:20.500 On the bike, he just falls over.

00:28:23.440 And...

00:28:23.840 Oh, boy.

00:28:25.780 Oh, golly.

00:28:26.740 Oh, no.

00:28:27.940 That's the best one.

00:28:30.340 A little fake jog there that he did.

00:28:32.480 Oh, and then he tripped up these stairs.

00:28:35.620 It acts like he had to do that on purpose.

00:28:39.120 Then he falls asleep at several meetings.

00:28:43.580 Oh, gee.

00:28:45.760 You're not going to stay awake the whole time.

00:28:47.580 No, I mean, that's too much to ask.

00:28:50.620 And then here he is at Normandy falling asleep.

00:28:54.440 Respectful.

00:28:55.040 Oh, man.

00:28:56.300 That's a lot.

00:28:57.700 That's a lot.

00:28:57.880 And they didn't seem to be interested in it at all.

00:28:59.820 Not at all.

00:29:01.080 But because Donald Trump has a bruise on his right hand,

00:29:05.220 they're completely out of their minds with what's wrong with this president.

00:29:10.040 Plus, he's dragging his leg.

00:29:12.800 Have you heard that?

00:29:14.260 He's dragging.

00:29:15.780 Let's see him get out of...

00:29:16.860 Yeah, go ahead.

00:29:17.660 Show the...

00:29:18.540 Getting out of the...

00:29:19.860 I mean, I think he might have something wrong with his knee.

00:29:22.840 It looks like he might have an issue with joint pain or something.

00:29:25.860 I don't know.

00:29:26.160 But he's not dragging his leg.

00:29:28.900 Unless the definition of dragging is different than I've believed it to be my entire life.

00:29:34.600 And there he's doing the little Trump dance.

00:29:38.460 And then he...

00:29:39.720 I don't know.

00:29:40.820 Is there...

00:29:41.780 Does it look like something's wrong with his knee?

00:29:43.520 Maybe a little bit.

00:29:44.480 Yeah.

00:29:44.580 Maybe he's got a little...

00:29:45.200 Might have some issue.

00:29:47.080 And that's, you know, not necessarily a significant thing.

00:29:50.340 Again, what's fascinating about this is how they didn't care that the...

00:29:54.100 They didn't care at all.

00:29:54.900 In the...

00:29:55.900 A couple of the tell-alls about the election that have come out since the 2024 election,

00:30:02.720 the...

00:30:03.280 Particularly the one where he trips over the sandbags was a massive thing.

00:30:07.380 That's what one really...

00:30:09.260 When a lot of the panic started inside the campaign with the Democrats.

00:30:13.260 Really?

00:30:13.480 When he thought Biden...

00:30:14.620 Like, this could happen at any time.

00:30:16.020 If this guy falls down again, we have real problems.

00:30:19.380 Now, of course, there's these little stumbles.

00:30:20.800 But, like, the bike one was really bad.

00:30:22.960 Very bad.

00:30:24.100 The sandbag one was really bad.

00:30:25.800 Yeah.

00:30:26.180 Where he really falls over completely.

00:30:29.520 What's fascinating about Trump is, honestly, I might prefer if he had a little bit less energy.

00:30:35.380 I have to cover everything he talks about.

00:30:38.000 He makes me tired.

00:30:40.400 And really, like, at 79 years old, the pace that this guy keeps up is fascinating.

00:30:47.100 I think that is something you...

00:30:49.680 Whether you like his policies or you don't like his policies, you really have to acknowledge.

00:30:53.320 Mm-hmm.

00:30:54.280 You might think...

00:30:55.740 Like, you can't be a real dictator if you're super-duper lazy and not getting anything done and falling asleep all the time.

00:31:01.740 It's hard to be a dictator.

00:31:03.280 Right?

00:31:03.820 Mm-hmm.

00:31:04.160 You know, they keep accusing him of being Hitler.

00:31:07.200 You need a lot of energy to be that guy.

00:31:09.180 Yeah.

00:31:09.300 And, you know, I don't know.

00:31:11.120 I will say, if you're going to be the guy that runs everything and you're going to be the person who's cracking down all the time, you have to have a lot of energy.

00:31:18.720 I think that's quite obvious he does have.

00:31:20.980 Does he have a knee problem?

00:31:22.040 I don't know.

00:31:22.620 Yeah.

00:31:22.780 I mean, that's never been a...

00:31:24.300 There's never been an issue.

00:31:25.200 We had presidents who were in wheelchairs.

00:31:27.620 Right.

00:31:28.240 That's not the problem.

00:31:29.440 Right.

00:31:29.800 It's not really all...

00:31:30.820 Like, with Biden, it wasn't about the fact that he stumbled every once in a while or even that he was old.

00:31:36.000 It was just that that was an indication building on top of...

00:31:41.580 Yeah.

00:31:41.700 It was one of many indications.

00:31:43.500 What we had seen for so long and his lack of ability to do even the basic functions of the presidency, like showing up in public.

00:31:51.520 Yeah.

00:31:52.340 Communicating, doing interviews, press conferences.

00:31:54.840 But all of a sudden, the media is so concerned.

00:31:57.760 Here's Jen Psaki talking about Trump being in hiding for days.

00:32:02.640 Really can't make this stuff up sometimes.

00:32:04.300 And look, we may never know why Donald Trump suddenly spent a week hiding entirely from the American public.

00:32:11.260 A week?

00:32:11.940 But you don't actually need baseless online conspiracies to explain why he might not want to show his face in public right now.

00:32:18.520 I love that they're actually entertaining this as it's a real thing.

00:32:22.960 Yeah.

00:32:23.760 Absolutely.

00:32:24.240 If you're not obsessively online, you might not know that the left was basically insinuating that the president had died for the last week.

00:32:34.300 That they had come up with this conspiracy theory that he had died because he hadn't made a lot of public appearances for a week.

00:32:41.000 Now, the man does love the camera and does love to be out in front talking to people, does this all the time.

00:32:46.660 So, him not doing that for a week is mildly notable, right?

00:32:52.260 Like, I mean, I could see why you'd notice it because he's always out talking to people.

00:32:55.720 But, you know, people also can take vacations.

00:32:57.580 He's playing some golf, it seems like, during that time.

00:33:01.900 You know, people, it's not all the work of the president is not done in front of cameras.

00:33:06.540 And so, it's very easily explainable.

00:33:11.940 And it was easily explained by the man when he showed up alive to things over the past couple of days.

00:33:17.460 Yes.

00:33:17.820 And Peter Doocy asked him about the reports over the weekend that he was actually dead.

00:33:24.460 Cut three.

00:33:25.040 About a big viral social media trend over the weekend.

00:33:28.660 How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?

00:33:33.160 You see that?

00:33:34.260 No.

00:33:34.800 People didn't see it for a couple of days.

00:33:36.220 1.3 million user engagements as of Saturday morning about your demise.

00:33:41.460 Really?

00:33:41.940 I didn't see that.

00:33:42.580 You know, I have heard it's sort of crazy.

00:33:45.520 But last week, I did numerous news conferences, all successful.

00:33:49.420 They went very well, like this is going very well.

00:33:52.040 And then I didn't do any for two days.

00:33:54.680 And they said, there must be something wrong with him.

00:33:57.760 Biden wouldn't do him for months.

00:33:59.480 You wouldn't see him.

00:34:00.480 And nobody ever said there was ever anything wrong with him.

00:34:03.340 And we know he wasn't in the greatest of shape.

00:34:05.960 No, I heard that.

00:34:06.720 I get reports.

00:34:08.340 Now, you knew I did an interview that lasted for about an hour and a half

00:34:11.960 with somebody.

00:34:12.940 And everybody saw that was on one of your competitors.

00:34:18.100 It was a Daily Caller.

00:34:20.260 He did some interview in the period where they said he was missing.

00:34:24.020 So he actually was doing things.

00:34:26.120 I don't know if they didn't release it then.

00:34:28.160 Maybe they were holding it for a couple of days.

00:34:29.420 I don't know exactly how that played out.

00:34:31.420 But it's just nonsense.

00:34:33.640 And I think it's wish casting.

00:34:36.200 I think this is what they want to happen.

00:34:38.320 It is.

00:34:38.640 They want bad things to happen to this guy.

00:34:40.620 This is why you see so many people cheering on when he was almost killed.

00:34:46.520 They were cheering him on.

00:34:48.020 Right.

00:34:48.360 Cheering on the assassins.

00:34:51.840 There's no shortage of this stuff if you go online.

00:34:54.780 You can find a lot of people just rooting outwardly for his demise.

00:34:59.760 For his demise.

00:35:00.360 Yeah.

00:35:00.460 There are also, there's also a conspiracy theory on the left.

00:35:05.520 You know, the right is supposed to be so conspiratorial.

00:35:08.640 There's a conspiracy theory on the left that the entire assassination attempt in Butler,

00:35:13.820 Pennsylvania was a fake.

00:35:15.160 Oh, yeah.

00:35:15.700 It was fake.

00:35:16.060 That still lives, that one.

00:35:17.360 With a, yeah.

00:35:18.080 There were, I mean, there's just more coming out about that over the weekend.

00:35:21.080 That he was shot with a rubber bullet.

00:35:24.920 There was also the glass shattering theory.

00:35:27.600 Yeah.

00:35:27.980 That the.

00:35:28.500 Right.

00:35:29.040 The bullet struck a teleprompter, which then deflected glass at his ear.

00:35:35.680 Which was disproven a long time ago.

00:35:37.040 Right.

00:35:37.120 Like the next day.

00:35:38.120 Yeah.

00:35:38.300 And it's, look, a lot of people in a moment like that come up with reports and theories

00:35:42.600 and like, that's, you know, somewhat, I would again say it's better to be right than first,

00:35:47.760 but a lot of people come out and just, you know, wildly speculate.

00:35:51.320 Again, a man was actually killed in this scenario.

00:35:54.600 Yeah.

00:35:54.740 You know, he was struck with a real bullet.

00:35:56.640 It wasn't a rubber.

00:35:57.400 They didn't use a real bullet on him and a rubber bullet on the president.

00:36:01.180 I mean, this stuff is so nonsensical, but it's a coping mechanism for the left.

00:36:06.960 I mean, when that happened, it was blatantly clear that there was no way Joe Biden was winning

00:36:14.240 that election.

00:36:15.300 I mean, it was already clear that he was going to lose this on that election.

00:36:19.900 But once we hit a time where, you know, the president was almost assassinated on stage

00:36:24.480 and not just that, but also then stood immediately up and said, fight, fight, fight.

00:36:28.620 And one of the most incredible moments in the history of the country, there was no way Joe

00:36:33.740 Biden was going to defeat him.

00:36:36.000 And so I think there was a big coping mechanisms that grew out of that moment.

00:36:40.920 Yeah.

00:36:40.980 Of course, they switched candidates.

00:36:42.420 It got closer for a while.

00:36:44.040 There's a bunch of stuff that happened after that.

00:36:45.720 What a freaking year that was.

00:36:47.980 But this is just craziness.

00:36:51.600 People are so obsessed with him.

00:36:55.560 I can't understand it.

00:36:58.420 We are supposed to be a country that does not obsess about the president like this.

00:37:02.280 That's not the way our government is set up.

00:37:05.320 He's just one part of the government.

00:37:08.100 It's not supposed to be a dominating feature of your life.

00:37:11.420 And for millions and millions and millions of people on the left, that's all I think

00:37:15.040 about every day.

00:37:15.960 One of your favorite guys and mine was actually rooting for his demise.

00:37:19.800 Tim Walls.

00:37:21.860 Cut for.

00:37:22.800 Check this out.

00:37:23.480 I'm not.

00:37:23.920 You get up in the morning and you doom scroll through things.

00:37:26.320 And although I will say this, the last few days you woke up thinking there might be

00:37:31.260 news.

00:37:33.220 Just saying.

00:37:34.640 Just saying.

00:37:35.620 That's funny.

00:37:36.240 There will be news sometime.

00:37:37.740 Just so you know, there will be news.

00:37:40.060 So what a dirtbag is to be saying there will be news sometime that Donald Trump is dead

00:37:46.520 and that's what he's actually rooting for.

00:37:49.520 It seems to me this guy is a real piece of work.

00:37:53.780 I don't know why we continue to have to hear from him.

00:37:56.080 I thought really this was over.

00:37:57.800 Yeah, I did too.

00:37:58.480 This is.

00:37:58.840 I was hopeful.

00:37:59.600 The single worst vice presidential pick in American history.

00:38:04.060 By far.

00:38:04.600 By far.

00:38:05.020 It's not even close.

00:38:05.920 There have been people who have been thrown out of the jaw, but I would still say he's

00:38:08.860 worth it.

00:38:08.960 Spiro Agnew was Abraham Lincoln compared to this guy.

00:38:12.320 A hundred percent.

00:38:13.080 He's just unbelievable.

00:38:15.380 I'd rather have Spiro Agnew now than Tim Walls.

00:38:18.800 Yes.

00:38:19.360 And he's been dead for 40 years.

00:38:22.080 More coming up.

00:38:22.920 Common sense ain't common anymore, is it?

00:38:30.500 Time to wake up and wrangle the sheep.

00:38:34.380 Glenn Beck continues next.

00:38:36.380 Having a safety plan is essential.

00:38:51.160 If somebody breaks into your home or if you find yourself in a confrontation, don't start

00:38:54.820 with a firearm.

00:38:55.560 Start smarter.

00:38:56.540 Start less lethal.

00:38:57.740 Start with Burna.

00:38:58.520 The Burna launcher is the most effective self-defense tool available today without the legal,

00:39:03.240 financial, or emotional consequence that come from using a gun.

00:39:06.660 I carry one myself.

00:39:07.720 I recommend every family concerned about safety should have a Burna, too.

00:39:10.940 I just gave one to my son and my daughter who just moved out on their own.

00:39:13.760 The new Burna Compact Launcher, it's the world's smallest, less lethal pistol.

00:39:17.680 It's concealable anywhere.

00:39:19.160 It fires powerful kinetic and tear gas rounds, and it can stop an attacker cold for up to 40

00:39:24.280 minutes.

00:39:24.700 It's easily carried in a purse or a backpack.

00:39:27.040 No background checks.

00:39:28.060 It's legal in all 50 states.

00:39:29.620 Ships straight to your door.

00:39:30.980 And Burna has protection for every member of the family, from safety alarms to personal

00:39:34.760 defense sprays, trusted by hundreds of law enforcement agencies.

00:39:38.040 It's a Burna, because your first line of defense should always be less lethal.

00:39:42.120 Visit BurnaByRNA.com and find the right launcher for your family.

00:39:46.660 That's BurnaByRNA.com.

00:39:54.280 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:40:06.680 We have an update on the situation with throwing something out of the White House window.

00:40:13.580 It was a corpse.

00:40:14.700 We now know it was a corpse.

00:40:16.820 Do we know who?

00:40:17.720 No, we don't know who yet.

00:40:19.260 Is this like a janitor or somebody?

00:40:20.440 We just saw a leg sticking out of the bag, and so we do know now it was a corpse.

00:40:25.820 Well, that's solved then.

00:40:27.460 Yeah.

00:40:28.200 So all these leftists freaking out about AI.

00:40:31.640 It was just a dead body.

00:40:32.880 Leave him alone.

00:40:34.620 What are you going to do?

00:40:35.520 Carry the body all the way down the stairs?

00:40:37.780 No.

00:40:38.260 That's too much.

00:40:39.300 There's an open window.

00:40:40.300 You just toss it out.

00:40:41.740 Gravity brings it to the ground.

00:40:43.360 You pick it up when you get down there.

00:40:45.260 This is how you evacuate a body from your building.

00:40:49.040 No, so the left is trying to make this into yet another controversy with Donald Trump.

00:40:56.380 They're saying he lied about it being AI, which as you blatantly, when you see the video

00:41:01.940 of him seeing it, he didn't even know it happened.

00:41:03.840 He didn't know.

00:41:04.380 He sees a video of it on a phone.

00:41:06.000 He goes, I don't know.

00:41:06.560 That's AI.

00:41:07.120 You can't even open those windows like that.

00:41:08.600 Because it does make sense.

00:41:09.360 If you can't open the windows, nobody opened the window to throw something out.

00:41:14.220 It must have been AI.

00:41:14.880 Right, so the leftists first went and started posting pictures of these windows being open.

00:41:20.260 Like there's a picture with Reagan and Nancy waving to people outside of one of these windows.

00:41:23.980 See, you can't open the windows.

00:41:27.080 That was their first step.

00:41:28.500 Now we have an email from the White House.

00:41:31.320 Again, a terrible, terrible thing.

00:41:34.140 They're hiding this body they dropped out of the second floor really well here.

00:41:38.760 And really nobody's even alleging it was a body.

00:41:41.040 It wasn't big enough to be a body.

00:41:42.740 No, it looks like a small, like a bathroom garbage can bag.

00:41:48.240 It's like a tiny.

00:41:49.320 Yeah, it's not.

00:41:50.400 I would actually get a little bit upset at the contractor who did it potentially because

00:41:55.080 it's just, it was a light enough bag that you should have just carried it down.

00:41:58.240 But that being said, a spokesperson from the White House confirmed by email that the clip

00:42:02.520 was authentic.

00:42:03.920 Explain what it showed.

00:42:04.900 He said a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the president was gone threw

00:42:08.080 it out the window.

00:42:08.860 So that's the end of the story.

00:42:10.740 Okay.

00:42:11.140 Is that a normal thing?

00:42:12.620 Do they throw things out the White House window a lot or do they normally walk it down and

00:42:17.100 throw it away?

00:42:17.860 My guess is, and this is speculation on my part, Pat.

00:42:20.560 Okay.

00:42:22.760 This stuff happens all the time when you're a contractor.

00:42:26.220 I mean, I've seen it happen.

00:42:27.560 I worked at jobs when I was younger where I threw things out the window because I didn't

00:42:31.160 feel like carrying them downstairs.

00:42:32.460 This is not an, I've done it at my house.

00:42:34.800 I'm sure.

00:42:35.600 In fact, I know I have thrown it off our porch because I didn't feel like carrying it down

00:42:39.640 through the house.

00:42:40.480 So it probably happens.

00:42:41.800 And then someone who was working a job at the White House was then told, there are different

00:42:46.720 rules at the White House.

00:42:48.140 Yeah.

00:42:48.420 You can't just throw stuff out the window.

00:42:50.420 Right.

00:42:50.500 That's probably the end of it.

00:42:51.920 You just, somebody who normally does that at a job and would normally do that with no

00:42:55.300 problems needs to realize there's cameras.

00:42:57.480 People talk about it.

00:42:58.640 Just a little correction for next time.

00:43:00.240 This is Glenn Beck.

00:43:22.460 All right.

00:43:23.260 Let me tell you about the burner laundry.

00:43:24.720 So you're walking out of a store at night and the lights are buzzing overhead.

00:43:29.480 Your hands are full with stuff.

00:43:31.800 You notice someone hanging back a little too close for your comfort.

00:43:36.020 Maybe your heart beats a little bit faster because in that moment you're doing the math

00:43:39.080 and you're trying to figure out what options you have.

00:45:05.180 Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire.

00:45:09.760 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:45:13.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:22.480 I guess, oh, it's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:45:25.780 I got a couple of indicators of how the American middle class is disappearing.

00:45:31.320 Oh, no.

00:45:32.240 Yeah, yeah.

00:45:33.160 They're disappearing.

00:45:34.380 Disappearing.

00:45:35.260 Just evaporating.

00:45:36.180 I don't know.

00:45:37.040 Could they have been thrown out of the window of the White House?

00:45:40.080 Yes, they could have.

00:45:40.800 In a plastic bag, perhaps?

00:45:42.500 I think we just saw it happen.

00:45:44.400 New theory for anyone on the left.

00:45:45.740 It's being discarded completely.

00:45:47.020 You can just take that one for free.

00:45:49.900 Don't tempt them.

00:45:50.800 They will.

00:45:51.040 They will.

00:45:51.780 All right.

00:45:52.100 More coming up in a minute.

00:45:53.400 Managing debt and your monthly bills can feel like a full-time job.

00:47:16.760 So, apparently, adults are taking over Disney, and they're forcing out America's middle-class families that have to pay $10,000 to take their family to it.

00:47:33.200 Then they've got to stand in long lines because adults are ahead of them.

00:47:35.920 This is a big thing.

00:47:37.720 Yeah.

00:47:37.900 I guess.

00:47:38.860 Do you know?

00:47:40.200 I know there's a couple of people around here who love to go to Disney as adults.

00:47:46.660 We've talked to you about this in the past.

00:47:49.000 I'm sort of fascinated by it.

00:47:50.620 It's not to say that there's not something fun to do at Disney for adults, but if I'm going to take a vacation, it's not my number one choice.

00:47:58.860 Now, our own Glenn Beck, a big, big Disney nerd.

00:48:02.120 Yes.

00:48:02.720 And I don't know that he goes there anymore.

00:48:04.640 He kind of got tossed off of them, maybe in the woke era for good.

00:48:08.580 I don't know that he still goes back.

00:48:10.300 But for a long time, he would go back, and he'd bring the kids, but also kind of, like, not bring the kids.

00:48:15.980 They didn't have to be there for him to enjoy it.

00:48:19.260 He just loved Disney.

00:48:20.540 And a lot of people are like that.

00:48:22.020 I don't quite get it.

00:48:23.140 Do you get it?

00:48:24.260 Yeah, I like Disney.

00:48:25.380 Would you go by, like, if you had a choice, you're planning a vacation, no kids involved, you and Jackie are going to go, are you like, all right, let me just pitch this to you, Disney?

00:48:37.180 I would.

00:48:38.300 You would?

00:48:38.700 Yeah, I would.

00:48:39.580 I would.

00:48:40.080 We just went in February with my grown son and his wife, and we went to Disney and to the new Universal.

00:48:49.720 That's interesting.

00:48:50.440 I see it much more as a kid's pursuit.

00:48:53.080 Like, we took our kid to Disneyland right before COVID.

00:48:57.320 That was their one trip.

00:48:58.760 Congratulations.

00:48:59.260 Hope you liked it.

00:49:00.600 And they're the perfect age for it.

00:49:02.020 It was fantastic.

00:49:03.360 And I went as a kid many times.

00:49:06.380 Not many times, three or four times.

00:49:08.420 We had a relative who worked there.

00:49:10.060 So we got there a couple of times, maybe more than our finances would have allowed to in a normal circumstance.

00:49:15.560 But it was, you know, great.

00:49:18.520 But I just, it doesn't, it doesn't seem like the thing that if I'm going to plan a vacation for a couple of adults, that wouldn't be my top choice.

00:49:27.340 But I mean, for many people it is.

00:49:29.680 So that's fine, right?

00:49:31.320 And Disney loves that.

00:49:32.420 Disney wants you there.

00:49:33.640 Disney wants adults to come because obviously it ups their numbers.

00:49:37.320 But it ups their numbers in a few different ways.

00:49:41.380 Because basically families typically go there cheaply.

00:49:46.300 Families go there with a budget.

00:49:49.460 Because typically they're, you know, you're younger.

00:49:53.260 You don't have as much money.

00:49:54.480 You're trying to pay off maybe a house.

00:49:56.500 You've got a couple of kids.

00:49:57.740 You know, college is on the way.

00:49:59.540 So families typically go to Disney and they're watching their pennies as much as they can.

00:50:05.440 Right?

00:50:05.780 They've come up with a budget.

00:50:07.000 They're trying to fit it in.

00:50:08.360 And that has always been one of the main driving forces of Disney.

00:50:11.000 People who make one trip every three or four years and save up for that Disney trip.

00:50:16.960 What has happened is a bunch of adults have decided they want to go and they enjoy that experience.

00:50:22.480 And they've got a lot more money.

00:50:24.160 Now, there are multiple groups here.

00:50:25.560 Could be people like our own Pat Gray, who are living off that cookie money.

00:50:29.260 McKexy cookie cash just flowing in all the time.

00:50:31.900 Just flowing in.

00:50:32.220 I mean, it's just...

00:50:33.140 Rolling in the dough.

00:50:34.420 The fact that you took not one, but two Rolls Royces to work today, Pat, I thought was a little egregious.

00:50:41.080 Excessive?

00:50:41.420 I thought it was a tad excessive.

00:50:42.940 I don't even know how you drove.

00:50:43.920 Would you have one leg in one and one leg in the other and you had to put your arms down and drive the steering wheels?

00:50:48.160 I don't even know how you do it.

00:50:48.920 Yeah, it's hard.

00:50:49.840 Two at once is difficult.

00:50:51.160 So, you got all that going on with Pat.

00:50:55.620 Also, big fans of Disney tend to be gay individuals and they often have large amounts of disposable income.

00:51:06.700 So, they are spending large amounts of money at Disney as well.

00:51:10.820 Now, Disney, of course, as a business, has reacted to these truths and they've said, hey, what if we charge these people a lot more and give them better experiences, right?

00:51:23.040 We'll give them upgraded experiences.

00:51:24.700 They can skip the lines.

00:51:27.140 They get the fancier restaurants, the nicer hotels, all the bells and whistles, which, again, as a capitalist, I totally adore.

00:51:34.040 But what's happening is the complaint is, at least, that now the average families who are going there are having the line cut constantly by people like Pat with his kexy cookie money.

00:51:48.280 Right.

00:51:48.540 You know, where Pat pays.

00:51:49.720 Pat pays.

00:51:50.520 And if you don't know this, Pat, on the back of the snickerdoodle, was able to shut down large portions of the park so just him and his family could walk around by themselves.

00:52:00.120 You're not even allowed in the park.

00:52:02.060 Right.

00:52:02.260 We rented the whole place.

00:52:04.040 You just didn't even care.

00:52:06.720 The whole place.

00:52:07.100 You didn't care about the family.

00:52:07.780 You saw the families outside.

00:52:09.780 I laughed at them.

00:52:10.460 Yeah, you laughed at them.

00:52:11.280 I laughed at them.

00:52:11.840 And then a Disney employee came up and said, hey, just so you know, I know you have this all rented out, but you can let some of those families in.

00:52:17.980 You're not even going to see them if you want to.

00:52:19.600 And you said, no.

00:52:21.180 No.

00:52:21.780 I don't want their filth.

00:52:24.680 I wish.

00:52:25.560 Yeah.

00:52:25.780 That would be great.

00:52:26.420 That would be great.

00:52:27.140 That would be great.

00:52:27.420 That would be fun.

00:52:27.620 So instead, what the actual thing that is happening is all these people are paying up for great experiences.

00:52:32.540 And it's kind of leaving the average person who can barely afford it, you know, leaving them in the lurch.

00:52:39.140 And that's that's the accusation.

00:52:40.560 A big story.

00:52:41.400 I think it was The New York Times or Wall Street Journal maybe that had it recently.

00:52:44.880 And one thing I was fascinated by was this little nugget in there, Pat.

00:52:50.620 And this is something we've talked about before.

00:52:53.760 But this says, for the most of the park's history, Disney was priced to welcome people across the income spectrum, embracing the motto, everyone is a VIP.

00:53:02.120 Now, I went to Disney.

00:53:03.780 I don't ever remember it being even close to affordable.

00:53:06.600 Maybe it was at one point.

00:53:07.860 No.

00:53:08.280 Never when I went.

00:53:09.320 Our family could never actually afford it.

00:53:11.260 We were always in debt after and it was it was a treat beyond treats.

00:53:16.700 The Magic Kingdom.

00:53:17.840 Right.

00:53:18.280 Yeah.

00:53:18.500 It was supposed to be a once, maybe twice in a lifetime type of experience.

00:53:22.140 I mean, if you're just buying the the all park passport and that's what you probably want so that you can go to all the different areas.

00:53:29.420 Yeah.

00:53:30.160 It's fifteen hundred dollars plus tax.

00:53:33.340 Wait, for how long?

00:53:36.040 A month.

00:53:37.500 Okay, so you get.

00:53:42.480 Oh, no, that's a full year of access to all four theme parks, two water parks and other sports experiences.

00:53:48.440 I mean, that's not.

00:53:49.580 I mean, that's if you're living in Orlando.

00:53:51.620 Yeah, if you're very sensible, actually, obviously, if you're coming to Disney from Texas or Montana or California, you're not going to buy that.

00:53:59.480 I would have definitely thought that was more expensive.

00:54:01.220 I would, too.

00:54:01.760 Yeah, I would, too.

00:54:02.980 This is what this happens a lot.

00:54:04.400 So what do they have a daily price in there?

00:54:06.160 I mean, as you're looking at it for the daily.

00:54:08.320 Let me push you through the rest of this and we'll get to the actual price.

00:54:13.280 But they said in doing so, this everyone is a VIP philosophy created a shared American culture by providing the same experience to every guest.

00:54:22.000 The family that pulled up in the new Cadillac stood in the same lines, ate the same food, rode the same rides.

00:54:26.500 The family that arrived in a reused Chevy.

00:54:28.100 Back then, America's large and thriving middle class was the focus of most companies' efforts and firmly in the driver's seat.

00:54:35.100 That middle class has so eroded in size and in purchasing power.

00:54:40.980 And the wealth of our top earners has so exploded that America's most important market today is its affluent.

00:54:49.800 Listen to the communism there.

00:54:52.200 Like, because there are rich people, it is hurting others?

00:54:57.200 Right, automatically bad for everyone.

00:54:58.340 Because they're making more money?

00:54:59.520 Now, how does that hurt me in any way?

00:55:02.020 And I never remember.

00:55:02.920 How much money have you lost because Elon Musk has $300 billion?

00:55:07.540 That's a bad example because they're currently Tesla's in the middle of taking my money.

00:55:10.780 So, I would say that is not a good example.

00:55:14.520 But generally speaking, I would agree with you.

00:55:16.760 Yeah, it's nothing.

00:55:17.880 They don't take anything from you.

00:55:19.640 This is not a pie that they take in too big a piece.

00:55:22.180 It's a bakery where you bake your own cash pie.

00:55:25.400 Yeah, and you grow it.

00:55:26.540 Right.

00:55:26.900 But the pie grows.

00:55:27.820 It doesn't get divided.

00:55:28.800 This is an either-or scenario.

00:55:32.360 They want you to believe that if one person does well, another person must do poorly.

00:55:37.540 And it's just not true.

00:55:38.700 It's not true.

00:55:39.360 And, of course, it's not true.

00:55:41.340 They say – by the way, I also don't remember a time in our history where America's most affluent was not the most important market.

00:55:48.760 Like, yes, there are more people.

00:55:50.380 But, like, you know, the wealthy in every society are going to draw the most expensive experiences.

00:55:57.940 Obviously.

00:55:58.560 Right?

00:55:59.100 Because they could afford it.

00:56:00.260 That's the way it's always been.

00:56:00.660 Yeah.

00:56:01.280 Yeah.

00:56:01.760 That's just – I mean, I just don't – maybe I'm – Glenn is the Disney historian.

00:56:07.300 So, maybe he'd be able to tell us a time – and maybe it was when Walt was alive where they really targeted only the middle class and didn't give any upgraded experiences.

00:56:15.260 As long as I can remember, though, they've always had some level of upgraded experience.

00:56:19.080 Sure.

00:56:19.400 For people who want to pay more.

00:56:20.400 Where you can get – you can get a pass that helps you avoid the huge line and you can go right up to the front because they've got a separate line for it.

00:56:29.880 Yeah.

00:56:30.060 And not just Disney, but all parks have that.

00:56:32.020 Yeah.

00:56:32.160 And I will say, when I went as a kid, we got the very basic pass.

00:56:36.040 We stood in very long lines.

00:56:38.060 Yeah.

00:56:38.220 I still loved it.

00:56:39.040 Had a great time.

00:56:40.120 Yeah.

00:56:40.520 When I went with my kids in 20 – it was Halloween right before COVID.

00:56:45.780 We went there and I said to myself, number one, this is the only time I'm going to be doing this with the kids.

00:56:53.080 Number two, I will pay almost any conceivable amount to not deal with all of the hassles.

00:57:00.240 So, I don't remember what thing I bought.

00:57:02.540 It wasn't the most expensive thing.

00:57:04.160 I know people, maybe friendly Disney historians, who have had much better experiences than I had at Disney.

00:57:11.340 But I was able to skip some of the lines.

00:57:13.300 You get the extra passes you can get in line and multiple things at the same time.

00:57:16.920 That's the type of stuff that you can buy there.

00:57:19.020 And it winds up costing you several hundred dollars extra.

00:57:22.180 It is not the cheapest thing in the world.

00:57:24.400 It's not a mortgage payment for most people.

00:57:27.420 But it was expensive.

00:57:30.240 And I did pay up for the better experience.

00:57:32.560 I would say it was, you know, much more enjoyable because I was just thinking about, like, gosh, these lines are going to be –

00:57:41.000 some of the lines, you get there and they'd be an hour, an hour and a half.

00:57:44.980 And I'm not waiting.

00:57:46.340 My kids were young at the time.

00:57:47.560 I'm not waiting in an hour and a half line with them.

00:57:49.600 That's not happening.

00:57:50.460 At that new Universal Park, we waited four hours in line for the new Harry Potter thing, whatever it's called.

00:58:00.660 There isn't anything in the world I would wait four hours in line for.

00:58:03.640 Me neither.

00:58:04.180 I would never do it again.

00:58:05.280 And it certainly wasn't worth it.

00:58:07.680 But it was agonizing.

00:58:11.160 Now, how much time in the ride did they spend on transphobia?

00:58:13.940 Did they get into that a lot?

00:58:14.820 Did they say –

00:58:15.820 No, they didn't really get into it.

00:58:17.420 Really?

00:58:17.960 Yeah.

00:58:18.120 Because that's all I hear about J.K. Rowling.

00:58:19.580 She still had no other life experience, no accomplishments other than the fact that she's a transphobe.

00:58:24.420 Yeah, I know.

00:58:25.040 That's what my understanding was these days.

00:58:26.940 That's – okay.

00:58:27.820 So you – wait.

00:58:28.580 So you literally say it in –

00:58:30.740 We literally were in line for four hours.

00:58:33.580 I wouldn't wait four hours for the Super Bowl.

00:58:35.500 I know.

00:58:35.980 Why would you do this?

00:58:37.380 We didn't think it was going to be that long, but sure enough.

00:58:41.000 I mean, it's kind of cool because you see some interesting things along the way.

00:58:45.040 They've made the line enjoyable there.

00:58:48.520 Four hours enjoyable?

00:58:49.480 No.

00:58:49.740 No.

00:58:50.260 No.

00:58:50.780 No.

00:58:51.260 An hour enjoyable.

00:58:52.920 Okay.

00:58:53.300 Maybe 90 minutes would have been enjoyable.

00:58:55.200 Wow.

00:58:55.800 Four hours was not enjoyable.

00:58:58.280 At two and a half hours, did you think, I got to get out of this line?

00:59:02.720 I'm going to – I'm pulling the plug on it.

00:59:04.480 Yes, but then I thought – but then I've wasted two and a half hours.

00:59:08.200 Right.

00:59:08.520 So I'm going to stick it out.

00:59:09.380 The sunk cost fallacy.

00:59:10.480 You were your example – you were legitimately an example of it.

00:59:14.340 Yep.

00:59:14.900 Exactly.

00:59:15.800 Did you know at two and a half hours that you had another hour and a half?

00:59:19.200 No.

00:59:19.220 No.

00:59:19.580 Because I would have left.

00:59:20.640 If it would – if I would have known, I would have left.

00:59:24.260 Understandable.

00:59:24.680 Understandable.

00:59:25.060 Yeah.

00:59:25.220 So they say the middle class is so eroded in size and purchasing power that – and rich

00:59:30.460 people got richer.

00:59:31.180 America's most important market today is the affluent.

00:59:35.120 So they provide a link, which I like when they do that, right?

00:59:38.060 Uh-huh.

00:59:38.260 When they're making a claim like the middle class has so eroded in size and purchasing

00:59:43.480 power that they're making a claim like that, you can't just say that.

00:59:48.180 Mm-hmm.

00:59:48.400 Now, oftentimes, the New York Times will just do that.

00:59:52.260 But this time, they provided a link.

00:59:54.460 A link goes to a Pew Research study, which is the state of the American middle class.

01:00:00.540 And they do show that in 1971, 61% of the American people were in the middle class.

01:00:11.200 Now –

01:00:11.780 And it's less than that now?

01:00:12.960 It's 51%.

01:00:14.160 Oh, my – it's gone down 10%.

01:00:16.040 10%.

01:00:16.680 10% in 60 years.

01:00:20.200 First of all, number one on my observation list would be that does not really tell me

01:00:27.460 it has so eroded that our economy has collapsed.

01:00:31.320 Right.

01:00:31.540 From 61 to 51.

01:00:34.020 That seems like a difference, a notable difference.

01:00:37.000 I don't know that I would say it's so eroded it's changing our entire society.

01:00:41.160 But, okay, we'll take that – that's an opinion, I suppose.

01:00:46.320 If you really believe that's really eroded, it's still the majority of our country.

01:00:50.520 But, okay, you want to say it's really eroded, that's a big deal.

01:00:53.000 I wouldn't call that so eroded.

01:00:55.460 But, okay.

01:00:56.680 Mm-hmm.

01:00:56.940 But there has to be a follow-up question to this.

01:01:02.960 Because if you say the middle class is going away, what is the logical follow-up question

01:01:08.860 to that, Pat?

01:01:10.420 Where'd they go?

01:01:11.120 Where did they go?

01:01:12.360 Did they go to poverty?

01:01:14.540 Abject poverty?

01:01:15.580 They're the poor class now?

01:01:17.640 They're the lower class.

01:01:19.080 Certainly the insinuation.

01:01:20.640 Uh-huh.

01:01:21.080 Wouldn't you say?

01:01:21.460 Of course it is.

01:01:22.340 The insinuation is we used to have people who were middle class.

01:01:24.780 Now all these rich people got richer in the top one-tenth of a percent.

01:01:27.860 And that pushed all the people out of the middle class into the poor class.

01:01:30.860 Right.

01:01:31.580 What they, of course, don't tell you is that over 80% of the people who left the middle

01:01:36.640 class went to the upper class.

01:01:39.800 That's fantastic.

01:01:42.160 That is fantastic.

01:01:43.420 The upper income has risen from 11% to 19% in that period, which you'd think was a really

01:01:51.300 good thing.

01:01:52.380 Yeah.

01:01:52.620 You would think, you would suggest, and by the way, there are measures of this.

01:01:56.380 This is just the Pew measure.

01:01:58.620 There are measures of this that show it even more dramatically.

01:02:02.800 But we'll use this one.

01:02:05.780 80% going to the upper class.

01:02:07.760 That's a positive.

01:02:08.580 It's an incredible thing.

01:02:09.620 More coming up in a minute.

01:02:10.540 When I found out that over 4 billion pounds of meat were imported into the U.S. just last

01:02:17.980 year, and all of it can still be labeled as it's raised here in America with a little

01:02:22.180 flag label, it had me questioning everything, like what other labels are tricking me?

01:02:27.020 That's when I started looking for something that was real and something I could trust.

01:02:30.920 That's when I found good ranchers.

01:03:11.040 Welcome to the table.

01:03:12.380 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

01:03:24.420 By the way, there's more to this eroding middle class story.

01:03:29.680 And again, this is their link.

01:03:31.200 This is what they use to support their argument.

01:03:34.080 And they make it sound like it's really awful.

01:03:36.320 Like we're collapsing as a society because the middle class has gone away.

01:03:40.120 So the middle class, as we point out, has eroded.

01:03:43.200 80% of those people who left the middle class went from the middle class to the upper class.

01:03:48.140 The upper class, as they point out, has grown in income from $144,000 on average in inflation-adjusted dollars to $256,000, which is a 78% increase.

01:04:00.520 You might say, well, that might be it.

01:04:02.340 Like they're going up and the people in the middle class, while there might be fewer of them, they're making less.

01:04:06.420 Well, no, they in 1970, again, inflation-adjusted dollars.

01:04:12.380 $66,000 was the middle class in 1970.

01:04:15.780 Now it's $106,000.

01:04:18.500 Oh, wow.

01:04:19.320 That defines the middle class.

01:04:20.580 This is average.

01:04:21.460 Up 60%.

01:04:22.660 So slightly less than the upper class, but still up 60% in inflation-adjusted dollars.

01:04:28.120 And you might say, well, there were 2% of the people who were in the middle class and have dropped to the lower class, and that sucks, right?

01:04:34.800 That's bad.

01:04:35.660 But the reason seems to be the income numbers have just changed because in the lower class, their income has increased from $22,000 in 1970.

01:04:47.220 Inflation-adjusted to $35,000 in 2022.

01:04:50.920 Because the actual number was probably more like, what, $5,000 in 1970?

01:04:56.120 For what?

01:04:56.820 For the lower class.

01:04:58.240 And now it's up to...

01:04:59.640 No, it was $22,000.

01:05:00.820 Right, $22,000 inflation-adjusted.

01:05:02.720 So not inflation-adjusted numbers.

01:05:04.660 I see what you're saying.

01:05:05.120 Probably more like $5,000.

01:05:06.040 It was probably more like $5,000.

01:05:07.020 Yeah.

01:05:07.560 So $22,000 to $35,000.

01:05:09.460 Again, we want to use inflation-adjusted because that's an important measure.

01:05:12.520 But a 55% increase there.

01:05:14.440 So what you've seen is increases between 55% and 78% across all three income groups.

01:05:19.980 The vast majority of the people who have migrated out of the middle class have gone to the upper class.

01:05:24.240 And the people who have gone from the middle class to the lower class largely seems to be a piece of strange economic data that just means that the lower class has become more affluent, if you will.

01:05:40.720 Yeah.

01:05:40.900 Right?

01:05:41.160 They've almost up 55% in income.

01:05:43.500 So it's catching some of the people that would normally in 1970 have been considered middle class.

01:05:48.860 I mean, it is...

01:05:49.720 It's amazing.

01:05:51.060 Insane how these people...

01:05:52.480 They just had...

01:05:53.180 You just throw out a thing like that and you can just say it without any support.

01:05:56.940 Oh, the middle class is eroding.

01:05:58.160 And everyone goes, gosh, yeah.

01:05:59.380 It just nods.

01:06:00.540 Look at the details as to what has happened.

01:06:02.760 Cozy Earth products bring next level comfort that shows up day in and day out.

01:06:15.200 Let's talk about their bamboo joggers first.

01:06:17.180 They're seriously buttery soft.

01:06:19.360 I didn't know joggers could feel like this.

01:06:20.760 It's not like I'm jogging or anything, but I can wear them at home.

01:06:23.160 You can stroll on the beach, even on flights, and they never lose their shape.

01:06:26.940 And the comfort stays consistent no matter where you go.

01:06:30.040 They'll totally redefine how you lounge and live.

01:06:33.040 Now, the Everywhere Pant.

01:06:34.260 It lives up to its name.

01:06:35.380 It's lightweight.

01:06:36.040 It's breathable.

01:06:37.180 Incredibly flexible, and yet still polished enough to wear out.

01:06:40.240 You can run errands, catch a movie, pretty much everywhere else.

01:06:43.200 You can take them and wear them and they look great.

01:06:45.240 And they move with you and always look sharp.

01:06:47.660 And my favorite part is how Cozy Earth nails balance between

01:06:50.420 unmatched comfort and everyday function.

01:06:53.020 They're game changers.

01:06:54.060 And it's not just me.

01:06:55.060 Everybody I know who's tried Cozy Earth is completely hooked.

01:07:15.940 Sign up for the Glenn Beck newsletter at GlennBeck.com.

01:07:35.560 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

01:07:43.740 888-727-BECK.

01:07:46.020 Talking about the left and their continual class warfare.

01:07:49.980 And some of the news media that backs them up on this stuff

01:07:55.420 and writes articles like the middle class is completely evaporating.

01:08:00.220 Really?

01:08:02.540 It's partially true.

01:08:03.740 It's gone down 10%.

01:08:04.880 But 8% of the 10% has gone to the upper class, not the lower class.

01:08:10.420 And the lower class is wealthier than they were back in this golden age

01:08:14.320 we're supposedly so excited about from the 70s.

01:08:17.440 Which I kind of remember is not the best period.

01:08:20.280 No.

01:08:20.420 We don't look back at that historically as a golden age.

01:08:25.060 We're much better off today than we were then.

01:08:27.500 Now, that doesn't mean that there aren't cultural things that you might not like.

01:08:30.940 You know, there's obviously, you know, you would say...

01:08:33.880 I mean, life was simpler then, probably.

01:08:35.200 Maybe, yeah.

01:08:36.060 You'd point, I think, to the rise of the, you know,

01:08:39.880 the internet and social media as maybe a negative.

01:08:42.360 You'd look at, you know, the falling of faith

01:08:46.880 as a real negative in our society.

01:08:48.880 There's certainly things to look at and say,

01:08:50.460 gosh, that's really bad.

01:08:52.700 That being said,

01:08:54.780 this idea that everything is terrible all the time

01:08:57.860 is an obsession in our world.

01:09:01.300 And it's really just not accurate.

01:09:03.600 It's not true.

01:09:04.700 You know, the way I always think about this,

01:09:06.440 my ultimate example of this is

01:09:08.400 there was a time in which people actually owned slaves.

01:09:13.460 Right?

01:09:14.160 Yeah.

01:09:14.780 And a lot of people weren't even angry about it.

01:09:17.100 Many were.

01:09:17.680 It created a...

01:09:18.700 It went up having a civil war,

01:09:19.980 certainly in large part, based on that.

01:09:24.440 Now, our society freaks out about the statues

01:09:28.140 of the people who were doing that at the time.

01:09:31.800 Right.

01:09:32.300 Right.

01:09:32.460 Now, we're freaked out because people

01:09:34.560 who may have held slaves hundreds of years ago

01:09:37.120 have statues in parks, nice parks,

01:09:41.800 made of them.

01:09:43.980 Right.

01:09:44.300 And we need to tear them down.

01:09:45.840 And that's our big, you know,

01:09:47.440 that's the way that we're being thwarted today

01:09:50.460 by these mean statues that aren't doing anything.

01:09:54.200 They're just standing there.

01:09:56.460 And I think a lot of times we just lose sense of this.

01:09:59.520 That doesn't mean that things are great.

01:10:01.100 You know, like we can complain.

01:10:02.500 I think what we're typically complaining about,

01:10:04.740 though, in the United States in particular,

01:10:06.640 is where we could be as opposed to where we are.

01:10:11.160 Right?

01:10:11.340 Like, you might say to yourself,

01:10:13.820 hey, right now, you know,

01:10:17.080 80% of people make over whatever the number,

01:10:20.240 $35,000 a year in that one study.

01:10:23.240 And we wish it was 90.

01:10:25.620 We think it could be 95 or 100

01:10:27.780 if we weren't so insane with our spending

01:10:30.280 or if we weren't, you know,

01:10:32.020 if some of the jobs that we had from years past

01:10:35.460 would have held up

01:10:36.440 and the industries would have held up.

01:10:37.540 Whatever your complaint is about the economy,

01:10:39.380 it's not to say that there's nothing to it.

01:10:41.500 It's just that we really do lose sight quickly

01:10:45.080 at the wonders of what, you know,

01:10:47.580 capitalism has brought us.

01:10:49.000 It has created miracles

01:10:52.180 throughout not only this country,

01:10:54.560 but the entire world.

01:10:57.200 And we have one party,

01:10:59.920 which is now turning to socialism

01:11:02.280 in a much more overt sense

01:11:05.380 than even the past.

01:11:07.360 And the other party that I think is like,

01:11:11.500 I don't know how to describe it.

01:11:13.760 On the right, like,

01:11:14.800 I think the right largely still understands

01:11:18.260 and appreciates what capitalism has brought us.

01:11:21.120 But there's certainly a finicky group

01:11:24.420 that has sprouted out.

01:11:26.760 That is, it just says it's not good enough

01:11:28.920 and we need to change lots,

01:11:30.680 giant swaths of it to get better.

01:11:32.720 And I don't agree with that analysis,

01:11:34.580 but at least it's theoretically an argument.

01:11:38.580 I just usually been an argument

01:11:39.800 that's been made on the left.

01:11:41.260 And sadly, our youth, it seems,

01:11:43.420 have been propagandized to believe

01:11:45.460 that capitalism is evil

01:11:47.940 and that socialism is the way to go.

01:11:51.020 I just saw a poll fairly recently

01:11:54.620 in the last few weeks

01:11:56.180 where, like, 18 to 34-year-olds

01:11:58.920 favor socialism over capitalism.

01:12:02.820 I mean, it was close,

01:12:04.000 but they actually favored.

01:12:06.300 It shouldn't be.

01:12:07.620 And it should be that capitalism was ahead,

01:12:11.020 but it wasn't in this particular poll.

01:12:13.800 And that's because the left

01:12:15.860 has done such an effective job

01:12:17.720 with their Marxism

01:12:18.620 and with their propaganda

01:12:20.880 that they've demonized capitalism now.

01:12:24.640 And so our kids really think it's wrong

01:12:27.420 to strive for something better in your life.

01:12:29.820 The Democrats always talk about the fact

01:12:32.480 that people aspire to become middle class.

01:12:35.340 Who aspires to be in the middle class?

01:12:37.820 I don't know anybody.

01:12:39.680 You aspire to be wealthy, usually, don't you?

01:12:44.040 Yeah, right, exactly.

01:12:45.320 People are like,

01:12:45.820 oh, you care about us, money.

01:12:46.940 No, we're talking about the economy.

01:12:49.400 You aspire to many things,

01:12:51.200 a wonderful marriage,

01:12:52.180 wonderful children,

01:12:53.260 a great job,

01:12:54.440 a great family life,

01:12:55.380 all those things, of course.

01:12:55.980 And you don't always realize all those things.

01:12:57.680 You don't always.

01:12:58.180 You try it, though.

01:12:58.780 You aspire for it.

01:12:59.360 But no one says,

01:12:59.940 you know what,

01:13:00.220 I aspire to a mediocre marriage.

01:13:02.200 I want to make $45,000

01:13:03.560 and have a mediocre marriage.

01:13:06.340 Right.

01:13:06.640 A pretty okay one.

01:13:08.340 I want my job to not be too good.

01:13:09.920 I don't want to be super happy.

01:13:10.480 I don't want to really accomplish

01:13:11.920 all the things I've wanted to accomplish.

01:13:13.460 This doesn't make any sense.

01:13:14.540 Just some of them.

01:13:15.500 Right.

01:13:16.320 Right.

01:13:16.560 You don't strive and aspire

01:13:18.620 for a mediocre marriage or income.

01:13:23.460 Look, that doesn't mean

01:13:24.440 that your whole life is focused

01:13:25.840 on getting a high income,

01:13:27.360 but usually you would rather

01:13:29.200 have higher than lower.

01:13:30.060 That's just the way it typically works.

01:13:32.460 And I always found it,

01:13:33.680 an interesting part

01:13:34.980 of this phenomenon

01:13:35.620 was the Ford Aspire.

01:13:38.020 It was an automobile

01:13:38.940 they had out for a while

01:13:40.360 and it was just not

01:13:42.000 the automobile you aspired for.

01:13:44.420 Now, it didn't mean

01:13:45.620 that it didn't get you around.

01:13:46.680 I'm sure it was fine.

01:13:47.940 It was a vehicle

01:13:48.680 that I could have seen myself.

01:13:50.080 I owned a Ford Tempo

01:13:51.420 when a Ford Tempo

01:13:52.440 was something that existed.

01:13:54.960 We all had cars like that

01:13:56.440 when we were younger.

01:13:57.280 We didn't necessarily aspire

01:13:58.960 to the Ford Tempo.

01:14:00.780 You know, the Ford Tempo was fine.

01:14:02.300 The Ford Aspire was probably fine.

01:14:03.960 I don't know.

01:14:04.320 I never drove one,

01:14:05.260 but I didn't aspire to it.

01:14:06.540 I was very happy with it.

01:14:08.040 Yes.

01:14:08.400 Yes, because it was better

01:14:09.760 than not having a car at all,

01:14:11.820 which was what my alternative was.

01:14:13.520 The first thing you aspire to

01:14:14.680 is having a car.

01:14:15.700 Yeah, right.

01:14:16.180 Then you aspire

01:14:16.660 to having a better car.

01:14:17.540 You don't aspire,

01:14:18.400 you know, I would like,

01:14:19.200 now that I've achieved this,

01:14:20.100 I'm going to stay here forever.

01:14:22.040 They're not the way

01:14:22.540 I think the American people think,

01:14:24.600 but they are legitimately depressed

01:14:27.100 about the economy.

01:14:27.920 There's a new story

01:14:28.600 in the Wall Street Journal.

01:14:29.600 Americans lose faith

01:14:30.840 and that hard work

01:14:32.120 leads to economic gains.

01:14:34.340 Wow.

01:14:34.400 This is really dangerous

01:14:36.500 for a society.

01:14:38.960 This, the disconnect

01:14:40.520 between these two things

01:14:41.900 is number one,

01:14:43.360 which what has set us apart

01:14:45.380 from Europe,

01:14:46.080 largely over the past 50 years,

01:14:49.380 this has split over and over again.

01:14:51.720 This poll is the same.

01:14:52.700 Can you, if you work hard,

01:14:53.800 do you get ahead?

01:14:54.640 We are always like 70% yes.

01:14:57.160 And Germany and France

01:14:59.660 are always 70% no.

01:15:02.060 It's all,

01:15:02.580 it's just things you can't control.

01:15:04.340 Life is being done to you.

01:15:06.700 That was the European attitude.

01:15:08.600 Our attitude was,

01:15:09.980 we're making our lives.

01:15:11.180 We're making,

01:15:11.500 we're making,

01:15:12.300 you know,

01:15:12.480 life is what we make of it.

01:15:13.740 That was our attitude.

01:15:15.400 This is changing now.

01:15:16.580 A new poll

01:15:17.400 in the Wall Street Journal.

01:15:19.360 People like me

01:15:20.040 have a good chance

01:15:20.920 of improving

01:15:21.500 our standard of living.

01:15:22.560 This is just a hope standard,

01:15:23.780 right?

01:15:24.920 This has been,

01:15:26.040 you know,

01:15:26.340 75% agreement

01:15:27.860 between 75 and,

01:15:30.280 you know,

01:15:30.420 in periods of,

01:15:31.460 you know,

01:15:31.640 recession,

01:15:32.220 maybe it drew down to 55.

01:15:34.780 It was in 2018,

01:15:37.320 you know,

01:15:37.620 Trump first term

01:15:39.380 at about 65,

01:15:42.080 maybe 70%,

01:15:43.300 just eyeballing a chart.

01:15:44.780 It is now down to 25%.

01:15:46.840 25?

01:15:49.520 Collapsed.

01:15:50.240 Wow.

01:15:50.720 Now,

01:15:51.340 it does seem like COVID

01:15:53.000 was a major factor in that.

01:15:55.580 That people were just,

01:15:57.660 their entire perception

01:15:59.160 of the world

01:15:59.740 was changed

01:16:00.260 by what happened

01:16:00.940 after COVID.

01:16:01.520 This is why we ranted

01:16:02.520 about it constantly

01:16:03.500 during that period.

01:16:04.320 It was a massive change

01:16:05.520 to our society.

01:16:06.760 But it does seem to be

01:16:07.900 that period

01:16:08.640 where that separated.

01:16:10.280 Same thing

01:16:10.720 when it comes to actual

01:16:12.340 versus predicted

01:16:13.140 consumer sentiment.

01:16:14.260 So,

01:16:14.980 this is measuring,

01:16:15.920 hey,

01:16:16.100 we have a bunch of

01:16:16.720 economic stats

01:16:18.000 and we have a formula

01:16:20.360 that says

01:16:20.900 this is what people

01:16:21.700 should feel about the economy

01:16:22.980 when we have

01:16:24.060 these economic stats.

01:16:26.180 That has,

01:16:26.860 these two things

01:16:27.800 ran basically

01:16:29.260 exactly together

01:16:30.400 from,

01:16:31.560 you know,

01:16:31.780 the 2000

01:16:32.360 all the way up

01:16:33.100 until COVID.

01:16:33.620 Now,

01:16:34.200 it's completely separated

01:16:35.080 to the point now

01:16:36.260 where

01:16:36.620 it's

01:16:38.620 50 points different.

01:16:41.980 It used to be

01:16:43.040 no more than

01:16:43.780 five points different.

01:16:44.960 Now,

01:16:45.200 it's 50 points different

01:16:46.320 on the scale

01:16:46.920 where the economy

01:16:49.120 and the Trump economy

01:16:50.280 is pretty darn good.

01:16:51.580 The sentiment

01:16:52.100 pretty darn bad.

01:16:53.620 Why?

01:16:55.240 This is a total change

01:16:57.120 of our society.

01:16:59.360 I think of the way

01:17:00.040 that we're reading

01:17:01.020 these numbers

01:17:01.600 and feeling these numbers

01:17:03.480 is maybe the way

01:17:04.420 to state that.

01:17:05.980 And you see over

01:17:07.060 and over again

01:17:07.600 that people just

01:17:08.320 don't understand.

01:17:09.860 And people,

01:17:10.260 if you ask people,

01:17:11.100 you know,

01:17:11.600 how many people

01:17:12.600 are in poverty

01:17:13.100 compared to the old days,

01:17:14.120 people think it's increased.

01:17:15.160 People think

01:17:16.520 those numbers

01:17:17.020 have gone up

01:17:18.000 when the exact opposite

01:17:19.340 has happened

01:17:19.920 by every measure.

01:17:22.240 Not to mention,

01:17:23.540 I should point out,

01:17:24.640 that capitalism

01:17:25.160 has improved

01:17:26.520 the things

01:17:27.040 that we think of.

01:17:27.620 Like,

01:17:28.000 if we go back

01:17:28.560 to,

01:17:28.840 you know,

01:17:29.100 1970,

01:17:29.760 what percentage

01:17:30.400 of people

01:17:30.800 had televisions?

01:17:32.260 Well,

01:17:32.480 yes,

01:17:32.700 that's increased

01:17:33.440 from 1970 to today

01:17:35.100 as you would expect.

01:17:36.240 However,

01:17:36.540 also the televisions

01:17:37.380 are a lot better.

01:17:38.680 Right?

01:17:38.820 Like,

01:17:39.000 they were able

01:17:39.460 to do incredible things

01:17:40.500 that weren't even

01:17:40.860 thought of in 1970.

01:17:42.580 Yeah.

01:17:42.780 Right?

01:17:42.960 And so you get

01:17:43.980 not only,

01:17:45.000 you could say,

01:17:45.840 well,

01:17:46.180 oh,

01:17:46.520 we've gone

01:17:47.100 from 95% ownership

01:17:48.640 to 99% ownership,

01:17:50.300 so what?

01:17:51.180 Well,

01:17:51.440 yeah,

01:17:51.700 but there's more

01:17:52.840 to that story.

01:17:53.600 Everything in that table

01:17:54.980 has gotten even better.

01:17:57.320 So,

01:17:58.180 you look at...

01:17:59.860 Yeah,

01:17:59.980 I'd like to see you

01:18:00.560 put a 1970 television

01:18:01.800 on the wall.

01:18:03.100 Imagine that.

01:18:03.380 That would be interesting.

01:18:04.200 Yeah.

01:18:04.880 Yeah.

01:18:05.140 I mean,

01:18:07.400 with the gigantic tube

01:18:09.140 that they weighed

01:18:10.580 700 pounds,

01:18:12.980 you couldn't even

01:18:13.640 lift that thing.

01:18:14.180 It was a cabinet.

01:18:15.360 Yeah.

01:18:15.660 Oh,

01:18:15.980 God,

01:18:16.180 I love that television.

01:18:17.100 It was the one I,

01:18:18.180 you know,

01:18:18.600 grew up watching.

01:18:19.100 I loved them too

01:18:19.660 at the time.

01:18:20.280 At our house,

01:18:20.900 and that was in the,

01:18:22.080 you know,

01:18:22.480 80s,

01:18:22.960 and it was one

01:18:23.780 that my dad kept

01:18:25.200 all the years after that.

01:18:27.560 It was still in his basement,

01:18:28.860 you know,

01:18:29.080 to like the day he did,

01:18:30.040 right before he died,

01:18:30.820 he finally gave it up.

01:18:31.920 And I just remember

01:18:32.580 being like,

01:18:33.140 good God,

01:18:34.000 like this thing,

01:18:34.880 it was,

01:18:35.540 it must have weighed

01:18:36.200 300 pounds.

01:18:37.860 Yeah.

01:18:38.020 You need a moving crew

01:18:39.640 to get this thing

01:18:40.220 to go anywhere.

01:18:41.680 Yeah.

01:18:41.980 If you slid it on the floor,

01:18:43.080 it would dig into the flooring

01:18:44.940 and rip it up.

01:18:46.600 Yep.

01:18:47.340 That's what it was.

01:18:48.400 Yeah.

01:18:48.540 And now,

01:18:49.640 you could go to Walmart

01:18:50.560 and get a,

01:18:52.540 a 70 inch,

01:18:55.340 high definition,

01:18:56.960 smart television.

01:18:58.660 That's an inch wide.

01:18:59.740 That's an inch wide

01:19:00.500 and it weighs like 20 pounds.

01:19:02.500 Yeah.

01:19:02.900 You put the thing on the wall.

01:19:04.260 Yeah.

01:19:04.520 You just hang it there.

01:19:05.420 It's incredible.

01:19:06.560 It's always getting better.

01:19:07.600 And like this,

01:19:08.600 this sort of thing

01:19:09.440 is just,

01:19:09.900 I think,

01:19:10.280 dismissed these days

01:19:11.360 by so many people

01:19:12.900 as being like,

01:19:13.960 ah,

01:19:15.340 you know,

01:19:15.820 so what?

01:19:16.720 Televisions don't make a society.

01:19:18.420 Of course they don't.

01:19:19.800 Of course they don't.

01:19:20.800 There's a thousand things

01:19:22.120 you could name

01:19:22.800 that have improved our lives

01:19:24.580 since 1970.

01:19:26.640 That doesn't change your heart,

01:19:28.000 right?

01:19:28.200 Like it doesn't change.

01:19:29.060 If you've lost faith

01:19:30.420 and have a better television,

01:19:31.320 that's not a great change.

01:19:32.520 No.

01:19:32.740 You know,

01:19:33.180 but it is important

01:19:35.140 to understand

01:19:35.780 that these things

01:19:37.120 do get better over time

01:19:38.440 in major ways

01:19:39.320 and we lose sight

01:19:40.120 of it completely.

01:19:41.120 Yeah.

01:20:58.200 This is Pat and Stu

01:21:10.060 for Glenn today

01:21:10.720 and all this week.

01:21:12.740 We've been talking about

01:21:13.820 the economy

01:21:14.500 and

01:21:15.220 people's perception

01:21:17.440 of it

01:21:18.000 and how

01:21:18.580 the left

01:21:19.500 has propagandized

01:21:20.820 people into believing

01:21:21.720 things are crappy

01:21:23.000 in America

01:21:23.820 and

01:21:24.620 your life

01:21:25.620 is not good

01:21:26.220 and the middle class

01:21:27.700 is disappearing.

01:21:29.100 Well,

01:21:30.100 yeah,

01:21:30.820 80% of them

01:21:32.300 have gone to the upper class.

01:21:33.740 Yeah,

01:21:34.360 so,

01:21:35.080 so laughable.

01:21:36.600 And you look at

01:21:37.580 the effects

01:21:38.980 of capitalism

01:21:40.140 over a long period

01:21:41.320 of time.

01:21:41.660 They are really amazing.

01:21:43.060 It's staggering.

01:21:44.260 Yeah.

01:21:45.200 In the 1800s,

01:21:47.400 80% of the world

01:21:48.780 lived in

01:21:49.580 what they call

01:21:50.280 extreme poverty,

01:21:51.760 below $1.90 a day.

01:21:53.820 And that did decrease.

01:21:55.600 It almost,

01:21:56.420 not quite,

01:21:56.980 but almost cut in half

01:21:58.280 in the next

01:21:59.480 180 years.

01:22:01.500 So,

01:22:02.080 you know,

01:22:03.040 that's good progress.

01:22:05.280 But,

01:22:05.500 really,

01:22:06.320 it didn't really

01:22:07.100 start falling

01:22:07.820 until one particular

01:22:08.940 date,

01:22:09.720 Pat.

01:22:10.700 When one particular

01:22:12.080 date occurred,

01:22:13.660 we saw a massive

01:22:14.920 decrease

01:22:15.640 that continued

01:22:16.860 over a long

01:22:17.940 period of time.

01:22:18.680 And what was that date?

01:22:21.080 1980.

01:22:22.300 1980.

01:22:22.680 Can you think of

01:22:23.220 anything that

01:22:23.920 occurred around that?

01:22:25.340 Oh, yeah.

01:22:25.360 The Olympics.

01:22:26.240 The Olympics in Moscow.

01:22:27.340 Oh, yeah.

01:22:28.080 Yeah.

01:22:28.320 That's right.

01:22:29.020 Is that what changed

01:22:29.640 everything?

01:22:30.180 Is that what turned

01:22:30.680 us around?

01:22:32.180 That's when it

01:22:33.040 happened.

01:22:33.340 Yeah.

01:22:33.880 Yeah.

01:22:34.600 From basically

01:22:35.740 the day of

01:22:36.520 Reagan's election.

01:22:37.720 Reagan till now.

01:22:38.880 Till now.

01:22:39.540 It's gone from

01:22:40.560 46%

01:22:41.980 to

01:22:43.080 8%.

01:22:44.680 Now,

01:22:45.220 that was...

01:22:45.960 8%.

01:22:46.240 Wow.

01:22:47.100 That's,

01:22:47.440 I will say,

01:22:48.180 that's a 2018

01:22:49.040 number.

01:22:49.620 So it's a few

01:22:50.320 years old.

01:22:51.180 It's actually

01:22:51.880 lower than that

01:22:52.680 now.

01:22:53.740 And there's

01:22:54.560 actually a

01:22:54.940 controversy kind

01:22:55.660 of...

01:22:56.900 So it's gone

01:22:57.300 from over the

01:22:58.080 years,

01:22:58.420 though.

01:22:58.720 80% in the

01:22:59.860 1800s to

01:23:00.900 8% in

01:23:02.680 2018.

01:23:03.640 Yes.

01:23:04.320 Incredible.

01:23:04.920 Incredible.

01:23:05.160 That's incredible.

01:23:05.960 It's a slightly

01:23:06.560 lower...

01:23:07.080 You think of

01:23:07.780 the years

01:23:08.260 since 2018,

01:23:09.800 you had

01:23:10.480 COVID,

01:23:12.000 which was a

01:23:12.700 real problem

01:23:13.860 for the economy,

01:23:14.540 obviously.

01:23:14.900 And then the

01:23:15.720 Biden administration

01:23:16.400 version in

01:23:16.640 America.

01:23:17.360 But,

01:23:17.880 you know,

01:23:18.140 globally,

01:23:18.680 that is a

01:23:19.460 small piece

01:23:19.980 of the puzzle.

01:23:20.800 So it's been

01:23:21.440 basically a

01:23:22.480 little bit down

01:23:23.540 but flat

01:23:24.000 since 2018.

01:23:24.980 One of the

01:23:25.200 interesting things

01:23:25.640 that's happening

01:23:26.100 right now,

01:23:26.620 though,

01:23:26.940 is they are

01:23:29.340 adjusting the

01:23:30.060 numbers.

01:23:30.940 Of course they are.

01:23:31.860 They said they

01:23:32.000 just added,

01:23:32.760 you know,

01:23:33.380 like a million

01:23:34.340 people into

01:23:34.980 poverty.

01:23:35.500 And we're like,

01:23:35.780 wow,

01:23:36.000 is our economy

01:23:36.840 reversing?

01:23:37.860 No,

01:23:38.420 what they did

01:23:39.060 was change

01:23:39.780 the standard

01:23:40.560 for what was

01:23:41.460 poverty.

01:23:42.480 Wow.

01:23:43.080 They're just like,

01:23:43.520 well,

01:23:43.700 what if we

01:23:44.180 change the

01:23:44.740 number from

01:23:45.440 whatever it

01:23:45.900 was $1.

01:23:46.260 $2.90 a day

01:23:46.740 to $2.15 a day

01:23:47.980 or whatever it

01:23:48.560 was,

01:23:49.440 that was enough

01:23:50.040 to increase

01:23:50.780 the number

01:23:51.160 a little bit.

01:23:52.300 But the

01:23:53.560 story is pretty

01:23:54.500 clear over a

01:23:55.540 long period of

01:23:56.160 time that,

01:23:57.520 you know,

01:23:58.720 this has been

01:23:59.360 a miracle time.

01:24:00.820 You think about

01:24:01.340 1980,

01:24:02.440 most of the

01:24:02.960 people in the

01:24:03.280 audience were

01:24:03.660 alive in this

01:24:04.900 period.

01:24:05.600 This improvement,

01:24:06.960 almost all of it,

01:24:07.800 has happened in

01:24:08.500 our lifetimes.

01:24:09.600 Right.

01:24:09.940 Yeah.

01:24:10.100 And we don't

01:24:10.420 even notice it.

01:24:11.580 Yeah.

01:24:11.920 It's not a story

01:24:12.920 that's ever told

01:24:13.880 or talked about.

01:24:14.880 Yeah.

01:24:15.040 It is,

01:24:15.840 you know,

01:24:16.200 if anything,

01:24:16.980 people believe

01:24:17.880 things are worse.

01:24:18.840 Yeah,

01:24:19.000 they believe the

01:24:19.760 opposite.

01:24:20.260 What do you think

01:24:20.540 makes for that

01:24:22.360 reason?

01:24:23.260 Is it just like

01:24:23.940 a filter of the

01:24:24.760 past where they

01:24:25.360 see everything

01:24:25.800 in like a

01:24:26.120 leave it to

01:24:26.540 beaver,

01:24:26.920 everyone owned

01:24:27.440 their own

01:24:27.820 house and,

01:24:28.600 you know,

01:24:28.920 it was this

01:24:29.420 wonderful time

01:24:30.060 and everything

01:24:30.300 was perfect.

01:24:30.980 It's probably

01:24:31.320 part of it.

01:24:31.880 Is that part

01:24:32.160 of it?

01:24:32.480 Yeah.

01:24:32.720 Is it just

01:24:33.100 our doom

01:24:33.640 scrolling where

01:24:34.720 we're just

01:24:35.040 constantly seeing

01:24:35.640 bad news all

01:24:36.520 the time on

01:24:37.580 social media?

01:24:38.760 And that could

01:24:39.820 be a big part

01:24:40.320 of it as well.

01:24:40.640 I don't know.

01:24:41.000 There's a good

01:24:42.020 psychological study

01:24:43.020 that should be

01:24:43.900 begun to

01:24:45.220 understand it.

01:24:46.040 Definitely.

01:24:46.320 This is Glenn

01:24:56.060 Beck.

01:25:09.720 We're going to

01:25:10.360 talk about Dr.

01:25:12.380 Mavlowski in a few

01:25:15.160 minutes here.

01:25:17.320 Al Gore is

01:25:17.840 coming on the

01:25:18.220 program?

01:25:18.720 Al Gore may

01:25:19.200 come on the

01:25:19.680 program because

01:25:21.400 he's been proven

01:25:23.120 wrong again with

01:25:26.020 the Arctic sea

01:25:27.260 ice situation.

01:25:29.160 We played that

01:25:29.760 from we played

01:25:30.900 that that speech

01:25:32.720 that he made in

01:25:33.700 I don't know

01:25:34.280 2000, 2000,

01:25:35.800 2007, 2008,

01:25:37.880 somewhere in

01:25:38.320 there.

01:25:38.560 OK.

01:25:39.400 Where he

01:25:40.120 predicted that in

01:25:41.260 some summer

01:25:42.560 month, according

01:25:43.520 to Dr.

01:25:44.260 Mavlowski,

01:25:45.260 the sea

01:25:47.240 ice could be

01:25:48.340 totally gone in

01:25:49.640 some summer

01:25:51.560 month.

01:25:52.060 We'll count all

01:25:52.860 the disclaimers

01:25:53.560 that he had.

01:25:55.140 This is a fun

01:25:55.600 game.

01:25:56.160 Awesome.

01:25:57.480 And we'll take a

01:25:58.440 look at where,

01:25:59.320 OK, where are we

01:26:00.180 with the Arctic sea

01:26:01.240 ice now?

01:26:02.000 How's that going?

01:26:02.540 What's happened?

01:26:03.260 How's it going?

01:26:03.980 Let's check in.

01:26:05.100 I mean, it's

01:26:05.660 almost 20 years

01:26:07.760 later and he

01:26:09.360 said five to

01:26:10.340 seven years.

01:26:11.620 So where do

01:26:12.800 we stand?

01:26:13.680 We'll get a

01:26:14.220 look at that

01:26:14.720 coming up.

01:26:16.160 Plus, the radio

01:26:17.340 show just

01:26:18.060 begin.

01:26:18.500 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:26:47.360 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:26:53.660 Down the road where shadows

01:26:56.740 hide, feel the dark on

01:26:59.020 every side, stand your ground

01:27:01.300 when times get tough, got to

01:27:03.060 face the dark and embrace

01:27:04.720 the fire.

01:27:06.960 The fusion of

01:27:08.800 entertainment and

01:27:10.120 enlightenment.

01:27:11.680 This is the Glenn

01:27:14.140 Beck Program.

01:27:17.720 I think we'll look into some claims that Al Gore made nearly 20 years ago.

01:27:25.720 Coming up in one minute.

01:27:28.440 First, I want to tell you about Cozy Earth.

01:27:30.160 It's built its reputation over the years doing one thing exceptionally well.

01:27:33.560 This is making clothes and bedding that feel incredible and perform even better.

01:27:38.320 They have these bamboo joggers that are incredibly comfortable, soft, breathable, designed to keep their shape wear after wear.

01:27:46.420 They're versatile, enough for lounging and travel days or quick errands.

01:27:50.320 And the comfort doesn't fade with time.

01:27:53.220 Then there's the Everywhere Pant, which lives up to its name.

01:27:56.020 Flexible, lightweight, polished enough to wear just about anywhere from the airport to a lunch meeting.

01:28:00.860 What makes Cozy Earth different is the way they really blend the luxury level softness with real world function.

01:28:10.700 These are just going to love these things.

01:28:12.820 They're great.

01:28:13.520 If you have the sheets at home, man, they just change the way you sleep.

01:28:16.980 It's fantastic.

01:28:17.980 You can upgrade your comfort now at CozyEarth.com.

01:28:20.480 Use the code Beck for 40% off joggers, pants and shirts.

01:28:24.760 Really everything on the site.

01:28:25.800 If you get a post-purchase survey, tell them you heard about it right here on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:30.380 It's CozyEarth, built for real life at CozyEarth.com.

01:28:34.520 The code is Beck.

01:28:38.660 Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.

01:28:40.940 Al Gore warned that there would be no more sea ice within five to seven years.

01:28:50.900 This was back in 2007 or 2008.

01:28:54.480 I think the initial estimate was made in 2007.

01:28:57.240 I don't know what his statement was.

01:28:58.560 I think it might have been 2008 or 2009.

01:29:00.380 Yes.

01:29:00.920 He claimed in his 2007 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech that the previous year, as the northern hemisphere

01:29:09.480 as the northern hemisphere tilted away from the sun, scientists reported with unprecedented distress

01:29:19.920 that the north polar ice cap is falling off a cliff.

01:29:24.860 Oh, no.

01:29:25.600 Falling off a cliff, Stu.

01:29:28.420 One study estimated that it could be completely gone during summer in less than 22 years.

01:29:34.760 And then he said this.

01:29:36.440 Some of the models suggest to Dr. Maslowski that there is a...

01:29:42.020 Okay, so it suggests to Dr. Maslowski, not necessarily everybody, but so there's the second disclaimer.

01:29:46.900 Well, I think I'm at three.

01:29:47.980 Thumb.

01:29:48.500 Okay, thumb of the model.

01:29:50.080 Some of the model.

01:29:50.500 Not all of the models.

01:29:50.980 Okay, not all of them.

01:29:51.800 Some of the models.

01:29:52.660 Yeah.

01:29:53.240 Suggest.

01:29:53.640 Don't necessarily say it.

01:29:55.580 They just suggest it.

01:29:57.700 To Dr. Maslowski.

01:29:59.240 Dr. Maslowski.

01:30:00.160 Okay, so that's three right there.

01:30:02.420 Okay.

01:30:02.680 75% chance.

01:30:04.700 Okay, 75%.

01:30:06.020 It's not 100% chance.

01:30:07.560 No, it's a 75% chance.

01:30:08.620 Some of the models suggest to this one doctor that there's a 75% chance that this could occur.

01:30:14.580 Oh, I love it.

01:30:15.880 That the entire north polar ice cap during summer, during some of the summer.

01:30:23.860 Okay, not all of them during all month.

01:30:27.440 Just some of them during some summer month.

01:30:29.820 So, that's an interesting one.

01:30:30.800 So, you say the north polar ice cap, right?

01:30:34.400 That's what he said?

01:30:35.140 Yeah, yes.

01:30:35.400 Now, that's not obviously all the ice, but I don't think that's a disclaimer.

01:30:38.780 Like, for example, he's not saying the South Pole.

01:30:40.940 He's not saying the Antarctic.

01:30:42.560 Right, right.

01:30:43.200 So, but I won't say that's a disclaimer.

01:30:44.660 Okay.

01:30:45.180 He does say in summer months, so not all the time.

01:30:48.380 Is that a disclaimer?

01:30:49.360 It's not just...

01:30:49.840 Yes, it's some summer months.

01:30:51.160 Well, the summer months, but then just some summer months.

01:30:54.900 So, that definitely is.

01:30:56.060 Okay, so some summer months.

01:30:57.720 Summer months.

01:30:58.000 Another disclaimer.

01:30:58.540 Okay.

01:30:58.860 Months could be completely ice-free.

01:31:01.740 Could be.

01:31:02.340 Completely could.

01:31:03.200 Could be.

01:31:03.820 Okay, so there's another disclaimer.

01:31:05.260 Could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.

01:31:09.520 And there's another disclaimer.

01:31:10.640 It could be five years.

01:31:11.420 It could be seven years.

01:31:12.100 Five to seven years, yeah.

01:31:13.040 So, one, two, three, four, five, six.

01:31:14.680 I see eight disclaimers in that one.

01:31:17.100 That's the whole thing?

01:31:17.960 That's the whole thing, yeah.

01:31:19.280 Can we get it all in context now again?

01:31:20.780 Can we play it one more time first?

01:31:21.760 Some of the models suggest to Dr. Madlowski that there is a 75% chance that the entire North Pole ice cap during summer, during some of the summer months could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.

01:31:43.540 Okay, so it turns out his fear monger, which apparently nets him about $200,000 per speaking engagement.

01:31:53.380 That's chicken feed to some of these guys.

01:31:55.660 I mean, you know, Obama makes, what, $400,000 or $500,000 per speech?

01:31:59.900 But he was never president, so cut him some slack there.

01:32:04.400 My gosh, no kidding.

01:32:05.900 Thank God.

01:32:06.980 But not only was he wrong about the 20-foot rise in the global sea level in the near future, not only was he wrong about that, he was also wrong about polar bear drowning because the thumb polar bears were going to drown because of these rising sea levels.

01:32:27.080 And a lot of the babies, I guess, couldn't keep up with the sea rise.

01:32:30.200 Now, polar bears, incredible swimmers, they can swim 400 miles.

01:32:36.640 They've been clocked at 400-mile swims.

01:32:41.420 So they could tread water for a really long time.

01:32:45.000 It's doubtful that they're going to be drowning.

01:32:47.800 But he was wrong about those.

01:32:49.440 He was wrong about the snows of Kilimanjaro, which were also supposed to be completely gone, completely evaporated.

01:32:55.600 But he was also wrong about the future of the Arctic ice.

01:33:00.340 It has slowed considerably.

01:33:02.980 In fact, Arctic sea ice loss has no statistically significant decline in September sea ice since 2005.

01:33:16.120 That's amazing.

01:33:17.460 2005?

01:33:18.560 In 20 years, there's no significant loss.

01:33:23.080 That's amazing.

01:33:24.300 Now, wait, is that in some of the summer months, or did you say December?

01:33:27.600 That's September.

01:33:28.520 Oh, September.

01:33:29.080 So that summer month.

01:33:30.180 So part of the summer.

01:33:31.400 Part of the summer.

01:33:32.480 The summer month when you thought that the sea ice would be gone completely.

01:33:37.440 But so it was, this is also in conjunction with the South Pole, with the Antarctic gain.

01:33:48.300 There have been significant sea ice gains in Antarctica.

01:33:52.320 So he didn't say anything about the Antarctic ice, but that has actually increased over the last 20 years.

01:33:58.700 Incredible.

01:33:59.120 It's unbelievable, really.

01:34:02.780 And what's unbelievable most about it is not the fact that you can't predict the future 20 years in advance.

01:34:07.920 That's actually really hard to do.

01:34:09.360 I mean, they can't even predict what's going to happen this afternoon with the weather on a lot of occasions.

01:34:14.760 Yep.

01:34:15.160 I mean, it's difficult to do.

01:34:17.460 And I actually.

01:34:18.180 Really hard.

01:34:18.460 But if it wasn't for their annoying, I mean, I almost feel the same way about this as I felt about, like, COVID in March 2020.

01:34:26.040 It's like, well, the fact that you might not know what's going to happen with COVID in March 2020, I'm a little graced for that.

01:34:31.520 Like, it's really hard to probably figure out how that was going to play out, you know.

01:34:35.420 But the fact that you continue to, number one, make certain projections about how it was going to work out.

01:34:40.580 With incredible certitude.

01:34:41.840 Yes.

01:34:42.280 By the way.

01:34:42.640 I'm 100% sure this is going to happen, or 75% sure, and some of those are moms.

01:34:47.100 There's complete consensus.

01:34:48.920 Yeah.

01:34:49.340 There's consensus, which is another big, fat lie.

01:34:52.260 Yes.

01:34:52.680 And act this way, or you are a heathen and killing grandparents in the COVID case, or killing everyone in the global warming case.

01:35:01.220 I can understand.

01:35:02.660 I have some grace for you missing out on some of these predictions.

01:35:05.600 It's predictions.

01:35:06.280 It's probably hard to do.

01:35:07.140 But you can't have scientific certainty that changes everyone else's way of life at the same time that you don't know what you're talking about.

01:35:18.380 Right.

01:35:18.880 You can either have science is hard, and we're going to miss on some of these things, or you have science is easy.

01:35:25.340 We know it exactly.

01:35:26.260 You have to change your life because of this.

01:35:27.940 Right?

01:35:28.380 Yeah.

01:35:28.580 You have to go one of those two paths.

01:35:30.620 What they want is both.

01:35:31.900 When they get it wrong, they want to say, oh, well, science is hard.

01:35:35.380 It's difficult.

01:35:36.160 Of course, we didn't.

01:35:36.640 We didn't know exactly what the situation was.

01:35:40.320 And when they had...

01:35:41.880 Of course, they don't learn anything from that.

01:35:45.180 They will still say, sure, we were wrong then, but now we know.

01:35:50.580 Now we have the science we need.

01:35:52.300 Back then, we didn't have all the science.

01:35:53.840 Of course, we didn't have the science.

01:35:55.080 20 years ago, of course, science has improved in that time.

01:35:57.980 Now we know for 20 years in the future what it's going to look like.

01:36:01.540 What a great scam.

01:36:03.520 You never have to be right.

01:36:05.600 And you know who remembers the 2007, 2008 prediction of Al Gore?

01:36:12.380 Nobody except you.

01:36:14.520 Pat Gray, because of his incredible Al Gore impression, is the only person who remembers that this was even said.

01:36:21.780 And he never has to pay a price for this.

01:36:23.760 Dr. Maslowski seems to still be...

01:36:26.520 Never held accountable.

01:36:27.100 ...at his job.

01:36:27.980 Yeah.

01:36:28.700 Listen to this.

01:36:29.420 I thought this was a fascinating rundown of the story.

01:36:32.800 Did the prediction hold true?

01:36:35.680 The Arctic was...

01:36:36.600 Who's writing this story, by the way?

01:36:38.060 This is a...

01:36:38.520 This is a...

01:36:39.120 Massively conservative...

01:36:41.660 Yeah.

01:36:42.000 ...right-wing kook?

01:36:43.120 No, it's just a summary for...

01:36:44.420 It's like an AI summary, I guess, of what happened here.

01:36:47.300 All right.

01:36:48.220 Did the prediction hold true?

01:36:50.620 Not exactly.

01:36:52.000 Not exactly.

01:36:52.880 The Arctic was not ice-free in summer by 2013.

01:36:57.220 And the window, by the way, of that prediction was 2013 to 2019.

01:37:01.340 So, it was not ice-free in summer of 2013.

01:37:04.720 Despite the initial estimate, Dr. Maslowski did not revise his prediction publicly.

01:37:10.880 This is my favorite part of this summary.

01:37:13.500 As of May 2021, he still held to the 2016 plus or minus three-year estimate, even though

01:37:21.020 sea ice persisted.

01:37:22.720 So, even though...

01:37:24.280 What?

01:37:24.340 Even though he was wrong, he stuck to it?

01:37:26.860 He still stuck to it two years after it ended.

01:37:30.200 How is that possible?

01:37:31.220 How do you...

01:37:31.940 How do you keep your job?

01:37:34.120 I don't know.

01:37:34.440 How do you keep your job?

01:37:36.860 You know what that's like?

01:37:37.660 That's like a...

01:37:38.460 Like an obscure pastor who predicts the end of the world.

01:37:42.540 Yes.

01:37:42.820 It's going to happen in October.

01:37:44.200 It's going to happen October 3rd.

01:37:45.980 And then October 3rd rolls around, and they're like, oh, no, I was a little off on my calculation.

01:37:50.400 I meant December 12th.

01:37:51.740 And then December 12th rolls around, and he's like, no, it's probably next spring.

01:37:57.520 I got...

01:37:57.980 I got...

01:37:58.520 I missed...

01:37:59.500 Carrying the one.

01:38:00.560 Right.

01:38:01.060 And so, it's actually March 9th.

01:38:04.180 And then they just keep pushing this down the line.

01:38:06.800 And then that's what probably Dr. Maslowski is doing now.

01:38:11.580 Yeah.

01:38:11.900 And so is Al Gore.

01:38:12.740 They just say, well, it's coming.

01:38:14.320 It's still coming.

01:38:15.100 There's never a moment where you have to actually...

01:38:16.380 Never a moment where they were wrong.

01:38:17.220 Just flat out wrong.

01:38:18.040 Subsequent analysis have shown that while sea ice decline continues, it has been more

01:38:23.120 gradual than his lower bound estimate suggested.

01:38:27.400 So, we see this over and over again, these predictions that go out over time.

01:38:32.800 We find the actual results to be lower than the lowest prediction they could imagine.

01:38:38.320 I love that.

01:38:39.020 Over and over and over again, this happens.

01:38:43.000 Yeah.

01:38:43.220 And yet, they are never...

01:38:44.780 The same people are the same people making the predictions for the future of this stuff.

01:38:50.260 It is incredible that nobody learns anything.

01:38:53.400 Nobody learns anything.

01:38:54.240 No one ever says, you know what?

01:38:56.000 I'm thinking next time we don't listen to that guy.

01:38:58.580 Yeah.

01:38:58.980 Nobody says that.

01:39:00.080 Nobody ever has an awakening where they're like, you know, what if we get another completely

01:39:05.080 insane nut job to make our next prediction?

01:39:10.340 What if we just mix it up?

01:39:12.180 Right.

01:39:12.540 Come up with another crazy person to say something next time.

01:39:15.400 No.

01:39:15.640 They bring the same people who they trot out.

01:39:18.200 Who've been wrong forever.

01:39:19.940 The same guys who were talking about how we were going to have a population crash.

01:39:24.560 We weren't going to be able to feed people.

01:39:25.980 Oh, my gosh.

01:39:26.900 Those people are still in power.

01:39:29.020 What's-his-face who predicted that the West Side Highway in New York City was going to

01:39:33.540 be completely underwater by, was it 2000 or something?

01:39:37.640 Yes.

01:39:37.920 Gosh.

01:39:38.240 What was that?

01:39:38.640 That was Hanson.

01:39:39.420 Yes.

01:39:39.760 Hanson.

01:39:40.220 James Hanson.

01:39:41.600 Yeah.

01:39:42.020 Yeah.

01:39:42.220 Yeah.

01:39:42.340 From NASA.

01:39:43.360 And he's never been held accountable for that.

01:39:46.080 Nobody's ever said, hey, you are incredibly wrong on every single prediction.

01:39:51.820 What do you say to that?

01:39:53.000 But they're never...

01:39:54.160 Their feet are never held to the fire.

01:39:57.100 No.

01:39:57.560 I remember...

01:39:58.280 It's amazing.

01:39:59.020 That particular prediction was made in an office overlooking the West Side Highway in

01:40:04.800 Manhattan.

01:40:05.560 Yes.

01:40:06.040 And I decided to go out and look at the highway to see if it was underwater.

01:40:11.660 It's not.

01:40:11.880 I remember that.

01:40:13.120 It's currently not underwater.

01:40:15.120 Huh.

01:40:15.540 No.

01:40:15.940 Are you sure?

01:40:16.420 What about today?

01:40:17.600 No, it's not underwater.

01:40:18.500 People are still driving on it.

01:40:19.620 Okay.

01:40:20.000 Yeah.

01:40:20.300 That's weird.

01:40:20.900 It's rained.

01:40:21.700 Yeah.

01:40:21.960 So, in a way, at times, it's been underwater.

01:40:25.100 They have had some flooding in other parts of Manhattan.

01:40:28.960 Yeah.

01:40:29.200 But brief and it receded quickly after some serious storms.

01:40:36.000 But, you know, that did not happen.

01:40:39.460 And all these things just made with this incredible level of certainty.

01:40:42.720 You know, it's kind of like, it's like if you were predicting, you know, the Cleveland

01:40:48.600 Browns are going to win the Super Bowl this year.

01:40:50.500 They're going to win the Super Bowl this year.

01:40:51.820 It's going to happen.

01:40:52.900 And then, you know, there's no one who comes out, no freezing takes exposed to show, hey,

01:40:58.580 this guy predicted the Cleveland Browns are going to win the Super Bowl with utter certainty.

01:41:03.500 And then they don't.

01:41:05.160 And then you're like, well, that just, I just got the year wrong.

01:41:08.620 I mean, I guess eventually, in theory, maybe they'll win.

01:41:11.760 It's going to be difficult.

01:41:13.140 It's been a rough road for our friendly Browns.

01:41:15.640 We love you, Cleveland.

01:41:16.680 They've never been there up until this point.

01:41:18.400 But, you know, maybe someday.

01:41:19.560 A couple of the worst losses in the playoffs of all time, man.

01:41:22.300 Oh, I felt for all of Cleveland in that period.

01:41:25.920 But, like, you know, you just think to yourself, well, if you're doing that and you're missing

01:41:30.060 on the prediction over and over and over again, at some point, you lose the credibility to

01:41:33.560 make the next one.

01:41:34.420 That doesn't happen in climate science.

01:41:35.960 No, it does not.

01:41:37.020 No, it doesn't.

01:41:38.000 All right.

01:41:38.280 888-727-BECK-MORE coming up.

01:41:42.880 Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make.

01:41:47.280 And you're pretty much just rolling the dice on some of the most expensive aspects of your

01:41:51.380 life.

01:41:52.220 But finding the right agent shouldn't be a gamble.

01:41:54.500 And that's where real estate agents I trust comes in.

01:41:57.360 They don't just hand you a random name from a database.

01:42:00.460 Every agent in their network is fully vetted for experience, track record, and integrity.

01:42:05.580 These are professionals who know your local market.

01:42:08.520 They know it inside and out.

01:42:10.320 They actually care about what is best for you.

01:42:13.180 And whether you're moving across the street or across the country, they'll connect you

01:42:16.340 with someone who gets it.

01:42:17.500 Someone who knows how to price, to negotiate, and to close without making you feel like you're

01:42:23.860 just another transaction.

01:42:25.020 There's no fee.

01:42:25.860 It's no obligation.

01:42:26.840 There's no pressure.

01:42:27.600 It's just a team that wants to make sure you're working with someone who's earned

01:42:31.240 your trust before they can even earn your business.

01:42:34.240 Because in a housing market that's this competitive, the right agent makes all the

01:42:38.300 difference.

01:42:47.020 10 seconds and back to the show.

01:42:58.720 Welcome back.

01:43:00.040 It is Pat and Stu.

01:43:01.340 You know, science is just not all-knowing.

01:43:05.340 They do make mistakes.

01:43:06.980 They make predictions that don't necessarily come true.

01:43:09.480 I can't think of any.

01:43:10.740 Well, we just talked about one for about 20 minutes.

01:43:13.180 That's right.

01:43:13.500 Did you miss that discussion?

01:43:16.080 Yeah, I did.

01:43:16.660 That's weird because you were a part of it.

01:43:18.420 Very, very strange.

01:43:20.120 But, you know, the whole climate science thing, which is there's supposedly consensus

01:43:25.140 and that's done and it's decided and you're a climate denier.

01:43:30.580 They try to make you akin to somebody who denies the Holocaust.

01:43:34.480 If you ever say, hey, I understand there has been some warming, not an awful lot.

01:43:41.120 It's gone up like a degree in a hundred years.

01:43:44.740 Big deal.

01:43:45.640 It's actually made it so that we can grow more food, which seems like a good thing to

01:43:51.100 a lot of people.

01:43:53.060 But even that, they won't accept.

01:43:56.220 What you have to accept is that it's happening.

01:43:59.060 It's caught all caused by man and it's catastrophic.

01:44:03.240 And if you don't buy into all of those things, you're a denier.

01:44:08.180 And that's kind of how they acted, too, with the Big Bang Theory, which because of the James

01:44:12.660 Webb Space Telescope has also come into question.

01:44:16.100 I mean, scientists are not sure now.

01:44:18.600 They were sure before, like five years ago, 10 years ago.

01:44:22.760 They were absolutely certain everything started from one teeny, tiny little speck that exploded

01:44:31.060 and created everything.

01:44:32.280 They were absolutely certain about that.

01:44:34.740 And now not so much because the James Webb Telescope has apparently shown galaxies that

01:44:40.540 shouldn't have been formed, you know, stars that existed before the supposed formation of

01:44:46.280 the Big Bang.

01:44:47.060 And so what it leads to is that science doesn't know everything with certitude.

01:44:54.280 It's a process.

01:44:55.920 It's, you know, we find out, we discover, we learn, and then we come up with different theories.

01:45:03.480 And it's just, but with climate change, you're not supposed to recognize any of that.

01:45:08.940 And if you do, you're some kind of right-wing kook and there's no hope for you.

01:45:14.520 That's fascinating.

01:45:17.580 It really is a strange thing.

01:45:18.940 And it's such a great scam because if you can get something like that where you never

01:45:23.300 have to be held accountable, it's like a money and influence printing machine, right?

01:45:31.040 Yeah.

01:45:31.780 You get to live this great life and everyone respects you and they don't remember anything

01:45:36.980 that you said when you were wrong.

01:45:38.540 Wouldn't that be nice?

01:45:39.120 Because if we just spewed anything we wanted and nobody remembered any of the mistakes that

01:45:44.380 we made, everything we say is untrue, what would happen to us?

01:45:48.420 We'd be off the air.

01:45:49.700 I mean, there would be consequences.

01:45:51.500 For our own personal enjoyment, we picked the wrong team.

01:45:54.760 Let's be honest about it.

01:45:55.660 As conservatives, we picked the wrong team here.

01:45:58.060 If we just wanted to have success money-wise and never feel guilty about all the things

01:46:05.520 that we've done to other people, never feel guilty about all the wrong predictions we've

01:46:10.400 made, never be punished for the mistakes we make at work.

01:46:15.540 We talked about this earlier as we started up starting a multi-billion dollar green bank

01:46:21.580 that collapsed in a fraud scandal.

01:46:24.900 We covered that earlier this morning, if you missed it, you don't have to ever really

01:46:29.200 come to, nothing ever happens to the people involved in it.

01:46:32.140 It's just more like, yeah, yeah, sure, you're fine.

01:46:34.580 Go get your, you get a gig at a university working for a think tank and, you know, you

01:46:40.560 just continue to go to the same parties and enjoy the same people and have the nice little,

01:46:45.360 you know, place in Georgetown.

01:46:46.880 And weirdly have the same credibility that you had before, despite the fact that nothing

01:46:51.460 you've ever said panned out.

01:46:53.440 Sometimes you get more credibility.

01:46:55.260 I feel like, you know, like I think like when you stand by a prediction that had a end

01:47:00.660 date of 2019 and it still has not happened in 2021 and you just like proudly stand up

01:47:05.040 for that, that's amazing.

01:47:07.920 It would be hard to do.

01:47:09.000 It would.

01:47:09.880 It would.

01:47:10.360 I don't think I could pull that off, but somehow it's fine with Al Gore.

01:47:14.000 I mean, he's, if he's still claiming or was it Maslowski, which one of them was claiming

01:47:17.960 that it's, they're still on track with that?

01:47:20.280 Dr.

01:47:20.580 Maslowski.

01:47:21.120 That was Dr. Maslowski.

01:47:24.340 Amazing.

01:47:25.000 And where is he now?

01:47:26.780 He's still on the same gig, I think.

01:47:28.280 Which is, he's like a marine biologist or something?

01:47:32.620 He is a research professor, Department of Oceanography at the Naval Postgraduate School

01:47:38.680 in Monterey, California.

01:47:40.100 I'm sure it's highly prestigious.

01:47:41.840 I'm sure it is.

01:47:42.720 I'm sure it is.

01:47:43.120 I'm sure that it is.

01:47:44.760 Good for him.

01:47:45.600 All right.

01:47:46.520 Well, Dr. Maslowski, you might want to revise your prediction just a bit since we're six

01:47:52.600 years down the road from it.

01:47:54.660 888-727-BECK.

01:47:56.720 More patents too for Glenn coming up.

01:47:58.140 This is Glenn Beck.

01:48:07.800 Allie Dwyer and her three sons lost their hero, Stephen.

01:48:11.720 Serving our country in the United States Army was Stephen's calling, and flying helicopters

01:48:16.540 was his passion.

01:48:17.840 Stephen died in a Blackhawk helicopter crash over the Mediterranean Sea, and he was awarded

01:48:22.620 the Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, and the Air Medal with Combat Device,

01:48:28.100 along with many others for his service.

01:48:30.260 Allie says Stephen will always be the love of her life and her boy's real-life superhero

01:48:34.080 that they're proud to call their daddy.

01:48:35.780 Thanks to friends like you, Tunnel to Towers has helped this family with a mortgage-free

01:49:13.820 Sign up today at glennbeck.com.

01:49:17.200 Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.

01:49:40.140 888-727-BECK.

01:49:43.020 So where do you stand on the National Guard troops being sent to all of these cities around

01:49:49.540 the country?

01:49:50.740 I'm really actually more of a fan of crime.

01:49:53.500 Are you?

01:49:53.960 Yeah.

01:49:54.400 I like criminal activity.

01:49:56.520 So you're glad that there's a high violent criminal rate in each of these cities.

01:50:02.420 And I don't obviously want to live in a part of town like that.

01:50:05.480 I want to be able to exploit it for my own gain.

01:50:07.360 Oh.

01:50:08.100 So I will, you know, I'll live in a nice suburb, you know, 30 miles outside.

01:50:12.780 Yeah.

01:50:13.080 But just enjoy the fact that people are losing their lives in the inner city.

01:50:17.620 Yeah.

01:50:18.040 Yeah.

01:50:18.340 Well, violent crime, crime, really any crime, I'm for.

01:50:22.280 Just so that I can exploit it.

01:50:23.220 Well, then you fit right in with, say, J.B. Pritzker and Brandon Johnson.

01:50:26.620 I do.

01:50:27.120 I do.

01:50:27.620 He's my neighbor.

01:50:28.520 They're both my neighbors.

01:50:29.780 Yes.

01:50:31.380 I love what I mean.

01:50:32.940 J.B. Pritzker has become one of the most irritating figures in the country.

01:50:38.120 He's getting up there.

01:50:38.360 He's getting up there.

01:50:39.040 He's not to Tim Wall's level for me yet.

01:50:40.880 Not.

01:50:41.180 No.

01:50:41.660 But who could be there?

01:50:43.240 It's hard to imagine someone getting there.

01:50:44.660 I mean, Tim Walls and Satan are probably the two people on my list that are close.

01:50:48.780 Yeah.

01:50:49.000 Very close.

01:50:49.720 Very close.

01:50:50.320 Very close.

01:50:50.740 But here's Governor Pritzker on the Chicago crime scene.

01:50:56.000 You're going to hear people, especially this past weekend.

01:50:58.500 Pause it for just a second.

01:51:00.820 This is surprising that he can actually, he's actually taking a walk.

01:51:05.340 Is this the first time in his miserable life that he's ever done that?

01:51:09.780 I will say this.

01:51:10.780 Certainly this wasn't done for the cameras.

01:51:13.180 This is just him on a day-to-day basis.

01:51:15.760 He's a big, he just walks all the time.

01:51:17.800 Clearly he's a fitness advocate and enthusiast.

01:51:22.260 So.

01:51:22.460 Right.

01:51:22.860 And that's what happens.

01:51:23.620 We just caught him in his natural habitat.

01:51:25.320 Right.

01:51:25.600 That's all.

01:51:26.200 That's all that's going on here.

01:51:27.340 All right.

01:51:27.520 Now, do you think the reporter is concerned that at some point he may eat her?

01:51:33.220 Yes.

01:51:33.620 I'm concerned watching the video.

01:51:35.780 I'm concerned about that.

01:51:36.740 That she may be consumed.

01:51:37.760 I don't.

01:51:38.400 She doesn't even seem to be at a safe distance.

01:51:40.640 So I'm not sure if she's that prudent.

01:51:42.420 But let's start it from the beginning because this is brilliant stuff.

01:51:46.140 And here's JB on crime.

01:51:48.360 You're going to hear people, especially this past weekend, 54 shot, seven dead.

01:51:55.320 58 and eight, actually.

01:51:56.740 But the city's not safe.

01:51:58.320 Would you ask your friends to ride the L after midnight or after, you know, nine o'clock at

01:52:02.840 night even to come down to the city from O'Hare?

01:52:05.520 Look, big cities have crime.

01:52:08.700 There's no doubt about it.

01:52:09.900 But let's just pay attention to what President Trump is doing targeting Chicago.

01:52:14.940 He's overlooking red states that have much higher crime rates.

01:52:19.480 Oh, my God.

01:52:20.180 That's what they always do.

01:52:22.060 This is the new talking point.

01:52:23.840 Yes.

01:52:24.100 Just deflect it.

01:52:25.240 This is the Republican state.

01:52:26.840 Mm hmm.

01:52:27.500 So Christy Noem was in a similar situation.

01:52:31.660 She was on with Ed O'Keefe.

01:52:33.180 And here's here's what happened there.

01:52:36.620 Except we can't hear it.

01:52:38.020 So she perfect.

01:52:40.540 She was asked if they've.

01:52:42.700 Have you ever considered sending troops into these Republican run cities that are equally

01:52:49.140 or more overrun with crime?

01:52:52.620 She actually said yes.

01:52:54.440 Yes.

01:52:54.740 We don't care what city it is, who's running it.

01:52:57.120 If there's a massive problem, we're we're going to help.

01:53:01.340 Yeah.

01:53:01.460 If we discover a city at some point run by a Republican, we are going to be interested in

01:53:05.540 that.

01:53:06.080 We are.

01:53:06.920 We have an archaeological dig going on right now to discover one.

01:53:11.280 You're going to have to go back.

01:53:12.440 There are a couple.

01:53:13.040 Miami is one.

01:53:14.080 Dallas is one.

01:53:15.020 But that's not fair because he was elected as a Democrat.

01:53:18.740 But that's the exact example that Ed O'Keefe jumps to.

01:53:23.080 Well, Dallas, Dallas.

01:53:24.920 First of all, Dallas doesn't have the crime situation.

01:53:27.260 Chicago does.

01:53:28.640 But secondly, he was a he was a Democrat when he was elected, but he switched party affiliation

01:53:33.640 since.

01:53:34.100 So that doesn't really count.

01:53:36.500 But then he went to small towns in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana that might have high

01:53:43.280 crime rates.

01:53:43.960 And there's some that do.

01:53:45.040 I mean, Memphis is very high and has been very high for a long time.

01:53:48.120 Is that run by a Republican?

01:53:49.060 Oh, I'm sure.

01:53:49.820 Yeah.

01:53:50.540 Long time, hardcore Reagan Republican running the city.

01:53:56.040 Right.

01:53:56.820 These are all these cities are run by Democrats.

01:53:59.240 And we did.

01:54:00.060 We did.

01:54:00.620 I don't have the I don't have Memphis in front of me, but we did a stat in one of Glenn's

01:54:05.340 books that I had to work on back in the day.

01:54:07.940 This number is a little bit old at this point.

01:54:10.280 But that was back in oh, nine ish.

01:54:12.680 Yeah.

01:54:13.000 Oh, nine.

01:54:13.900 Yeah.

01:54:15.060 Was it the inconvenient book?

01:54:16.400 I think it was an inconvenient book.

01:54:17.780 I think so.

01:54:18.100 It may have been arguing with idiots.

01:54:19.420 It was one of those in that period.

01:54:20.860 Right.

01:54:21.080 And the stat was basically it was based not on crime, but on poverty.

01:54:24.460 But obviously, there's a big correlation there between the highest poverty cities and

01:54:28.160 the highest crime cities.

01:54:28.880 And it was the number of times percentage of a time that the top 10 poverty cities had

01:54:35.060 been run by Republicans.

01:54:36.660 And it was something like 6% of the time over 70 years.

01:54:41.840 Six.

01:54:42.800 Wow.

01:54:43.240 In all this in all the cities, most of most of the cities had been 100% Democrat run the

01:54:48.160 entire time we did the study for something like 60 years.

01:54:51.280 There's a couple that were just nonpartisan, you know, that were a lot of them were definitely

01:54:56.660 Democrats, but just had nonpartisan elections.

01:54:59.320 There were a couple that had brief flirtations with Republicans over short periods of time.

01:55:04.880 Yeah.

01:55:05.400 But pretty much none that were continually run by Republicans.

01:55:10.580 Now, look, Republicans fail at stuff all the time.

01:55:14.780 This is not a situation where I'm confident that a Republican taking over a city after

01:55:19.760 100 years of progressive rule is going to be able to turn it down around instantly.

01:55:23.440 We did see we have seen examples of that.

01:55:25.120 I mean, Giuliani.

01:55:26.140 Yeah.

01:55:26.760 Did a good job.

01:55:27.560 Pretty much that was able to turn around in when one one or two terms.

01:55:32.640 That is a really outlier.

01:55:36.060 But, you know, Miami is another situation that has really improved recently with a Republican

01:55:40.700 mayor.

01:55:42.200 You know, I it's kind of silly, like pointing to the governor is is is partially part of

01:55:50.100 the problem.

01:55:50.560 Like you can you can see, I think, be critical of of a Republican governor that has a state

01:55:55.600 that maybe they should be doing more to lock down crime in that city and maybe aren't because

01:55:59.840 a Democrat mayor is running into the ground and they don't think of it as their responsibility

01:56:03.920 as much.

01:56:04.660 That's that could be a problem.

01:56:06.080 Yeah.

01:56:06.260 But a place like in Illinois or California where, you know, Gavin Newsom loves to say,

01:56:13.240 well, the crime rate here is lower than in, you know, Louisiana.

01:56:16.320 And like, you know, you come up with a crime rate arguments if you want.

01:56:20.880 There are obviously we've talked about it a hundred times, the arguments against that.

01:56:24.540 My favorite one was they used to say, like, Belize, the country of Belize has one of the

01:56:29.060 highest murder rates in the world.

01:56:31.440 And, you know, that that is that would make you not want to go.

01:56:35.480 And you look at the number and there's like one murder every week in the entire or every

01:56:39.620 two weeks in the entire country.

01:56:41.300 And because of low population, low population, it's sparse in places.

01:56:45.280 You have, you know, wide, wide areas of nothing, you know, that winds up affecting the rates.

01:56:51.880 Yeah.

01:56:52.100 Sometimes to your advantage, sometimes to your disadvantage.

01:56:54.640 So, you know, if you have one really bad city almost always run by a Democrat, it affects

01:56:59.420 the numbers.

01:57:00.400 And, you know, the areas that are run by Republicans do not have these numbers.

01:57:03.700 They don't want you to look at it at that level.

01:57:05.180 They want you to look at it at some of the level that serves them.

01:57:08.740 Yeah.

01:57:08.900 And they're counting on the fact that you're not even going to look at it.

01:57:11.360 Yeah.

01:57:11.660 You're just going to trust them.

01:57:12.680 And, well, he said it, it must be true.

01:57:14.980 If J.B.

01:57:15.740 Pritzker said Republicans have higher rates in their states, it must be true.

01:57:21.040 Certainly, he wouldn't lie about that.

01:57:22.800 Right.

01:57:22.940 And like J.B.

01:57:23.540 Pritzker is targeting his voters that he knows must be dumb because they voted for him.

01:57:30.060 So, like, it's a kind of like a circuitous thing.

01:57:33.480 Like, Gavin Newsom is targeting people that are voting for him.

01:57:38.300 So, he knows they must be idiots and will believe anything because by definition, they

01:57:44.360 already voted for him.

01:57:46.700 So, yeah, it really, I mean, it works out.

01:57:49.740 It's a great, it's a great way of going about things.

01:57:52.020 It really is.

01:57:53.400 Then you've got this dolt in Chicago, Brandon Johnson talking about gun crime there.

01:57:58.360 Chicago will continue to have a violence problem as long as red states continue to have a gun

01:58:06.200 problem.

01:58:06.680 I mean, this is so stupid.

01:58:07.580 Will continue as long as this presidential administration continues to put politics.

01:58:13.320 So, it's our fault in Texas that Chicago has a high murder rate because everybody buys guns

01:58:20.920 here and then travels.

01:58:22.860 I mean, you know what?

01:58:23.400 I'm going to take this gun that I just bought in Dallas and I'm going to drive to Chicago

01:58:27.200 and shoot somebody with it.

01:58:29.040 That happens all the time.

01:58:30.340 Well, see, that's not the way it works for me, Pat.

01:58:32.140 What I do is I buy a bunch of guns here.

01:58:34.440 We're in Irving, Texas, you know, suburban Dallas.

01:58:37.320 And what I do is I go to the gun store, load up with guns, and then I go meet my friendly

01:58:41.900 gang members in the middle of downtown Chicago.

01:58:44.900 And do you sell it or do you just give it to them?

01:58:46.520 You know, see, it depends.

01:58:47.980 And I like to at least cover my expenses on gas and hotel rooms.

01:58:52.620 But generally speaking, I just want the violence to continue.

01:58:56.360 As I mentioned, love crime, a huge fan of crime.

01:58:59.240 So, that's what we do.

01:59:00.840 Because either that or gang members are driving to rural Indiana to gun stores.

01:59:08.800 Like, I would love to know.

01:59:10.100 And I've talked to several gun store owners who have never seen anything like this.

01:59:14.420 But maybe you have if you're a gun store owner.

01:59:16.360 And you're just like, you know, we just constantly have people coming in from the, you know,

01:59:20.820 most crime-ridden areas in our state.

01:59:23.600 And they come and they cross the state lines.

01:59:26.380 And then they come into our state and they say, hey, load me up with guns at market price

01:59:31.180 in the suburbs.

01:59:32.320 That's 100% how it goes down, Brandon.

01:59:35.720 You've nailed it.

01:59:36.820 Now, if you want to get large portions of guns at lower prices for crimes, one way you

01:59:45.300 can do that is over a wide open border that exists in this country, or at least did until

01:59:52.400 recently, thanks to Democratic leadership.

01:59:55.380 Yeah, a lot of guns do come in illegally that way.

01:59:57.460 That is one way that it happens.

01:59:59.100 It is not common.

02:00:00.180 It is not common that you go to a gun store in the suburbs and buy guns legally and then

02:00:07.740 go use them for you.

02:00:09.380 Now, you might steal them out of somebody's house.

02:00:12.060 Maybe that happens.

02:00:13.760 But it's insane to say that the legal gun system that we have in this country is what's

02:00:18.620 influencing this.

02:00:19.460 It's nonsense.

02:00:20.240 It is not occurring.

02:00:21.480 Isn't it also an admission that the strict gun laws they have in Chicago don't work?

02:00:26.060 Don't work.

02:00:26.400 I mean, whatever the explanation, wherever the guns are coming from, your strict gun

02:00:32.260 law is not working.

02:00:33.180 You call it an admission.

02:00:34.980 What it is, is it's an excuse.

02:00:36.400 Yeah.

02:00:36.700 When people, when Republicans point out, hey, you already have those gun laws, not only in

02:00:42.380 your city, but also in your state.

02:00:45.380 Because it used to be like in Memphis, they would say that, right?

02:00:49.380 Like they'd say, well, you know, it's because of these gun laws in our state.

02:00:55.120 People just go outside of Memphis and go get them.

02:00:57.080 Now, of course, that wasn't true there either.

02:00:58.460 But that was the accusation.

02:01:00.460 Then we say, well, what about these blue states that have all these same guns, gun laws?

02:01:05.480 And they say, well, there they just leave the state and go to a Republican state.

02:01:09.940 None of this is happening in any large number.

02:01:11.880 I mean, of course, it's probably happened at some point.

02:01:14.040 A few times.

02:01:14.400 Maybe.

02:01:15.060 We also know, by the way, rural white people commit murders, right?

02:01:18.680 Like it's not just gang members.

02:01:20.040 But when you talk about the average, when you talk about these rates in the cities, it's

02:01:24.120 it's not farmers, right?

02:01:26.440 You know, it's not there are not a lot of farmers that are going into the city to commit

02:01:29.420 murders.

02:01:29.980 This isn't what's going on now.

02:01:31.520 The media will tell you it's all white people coming into this to to commit the murders

02:01:35.560 because of it's all racism.

02:01:36.840 But what you're seeing largely are people killing people that live nearby them that look like

02:01:41.000 them.

02:01:41.500 This is the case in all circumstances, by the way, all in every group.

02:01:45.220 That is the most common situation.

02:01:47.480 You usually see murders committed by people who against people who are either related to

02:01:53.320 them or are friends with them or are working in their same communities.

02:01:58.500 Often people congregate who are of the same race or ethnicity.

02:02:02.640 And so typically it's usually within those groups.

02:02:05.860 There, of course, are crossovers, but and they get all the coverage.

02:02:09.000 But typically that's what happens.

02:02:11.180 Crime statistics have shown this forever.

02:02:12.860 And what's fascinating about their argument is let's just take it as gospel for a second

02:02:17.720 and act as if this was a real argument, a serious argument.

02:02:21.920 The argument would then be, OK, well, we need to turn off the gun laws in the United States.

02:02:26.840 Now, we went through yesterday.

02:02:28.060 We played a clip of how to get rid of the guns in the United States.

02:02:30.860 It would be very difficult.

02:02:32.140 You've got 400 million guns.

02:02:33.580 It'd be really hard to get them all off the streets.

02:02:34.980 But let's just say everybody just gave them up to the government for some bizarre reason.

02:02:38.600 You would then have a situation with a large desire for illegal guns inside of our country

02:02:44.940 and a democratic policy that would leave the borders open for them to cross in.

02:02:50.560 And we'd have the guns anyway.

02:02:51.640 And only the criminals would have them.

02:02:53.840 Huh.

02:02:54.040 This is their way of looking at things.

02:02:55.600 These are just excuses.

02:02:56.620 It's nonsense.

02:02:57.660 But it's the way they've been running these cities for 100 years.

02:03:00.940 And you see the results.

02:03:02.720 Well, do you remember in America when Prohibition was in force?

02:03:07.980 Yeah.

02:03:08.520 Nobody drank alcohol.

02:03:10.380 That's right.

02:03:10.980 There was no alcohol available anywhere.

02:03:13.760 I think it'd be the same situation if you outlaw guns.

02:03:16.860 There will be no guns.

02:03:18.060 No guns.

02:03:18.460 Just like there was no alcohol.

02:03:19.840 Especially in an era of Prohibition.

02:03:21.720 When you can 3D print the guns.

02:03:24.440 Imagine if you could 3D print to the alcohol how much alcohol there would be.

02:05:07.280 Pack race, Stupor Gear for Glenn this week, 888-727-BECK.

02:05:19.700 So with the crime going on in various cities, Democrat-run cities, Republican-run cities,

02:05:25.820 should we send, should we send, I think the bottom line on this that I'm struggling with

02:05:30.280 is should we send National Guard troops to all of these places?

02:05:34.560 There's so, so much unknown on this.

02:05:37.280 I mean, first of all, he doesn't really have the power to send them to all, quote-unquote,

02:05:41.640 all of these places.

02:05:43.020 Like, I think the issue here is how it's going to happen.

02:05:46.420 There are certain limited circumstances in which he can make an impact in these cities.

02:05:50.500 Now, one of the...

02:05:51.340 And apparently he has in D.C.

02:05:53.860 In D.C., he, 100%.

02:05:55.840 D.C. is separate.

02:05:57.240 Throw D.C. out to the side.

02:05:58.200 He can do what he's doing in D.C.

02:05:59.240 He's completely justified.

02:06:00.380 There's absolutely no question about it.

02:06:02.100 It worked.

02:06:02.600 And it would work in a lot of these other cities, too.

02:06:04.480 You throw enough really talented, trained law enforcement officials into a city, you're

02:06:10.700 going to be able to cut crime.

02:06:11.840 There's no doubt about it.

02:06:12.620 That's an easy equation.

02:06:14.700 The issue is the legal pathway to get there.

02:06:17.120 Now, he thought he found a limited way to do it in Los Angeles.

02:06:20.420 Courts just overturned that.

02:06:21.540 We'll see what happens at the Supreme Court level on that one.

02:06:24.060 But he has a lot of challenges as to how he does it.

02:06:26.360 It has to be done right.

02:06:27.840 And that's something, look, I think the president cares about.

02:06:30.740 I think the people around him care about, if they don't, they should.

02:06:34.000 Yeah.

02:06:34.140 I know I care about it.

02:06:35.140 You have to do things the right way.

02:06:37.040 It's not, you know, we always talk about this with Van Jones when he wrote, in the ends

02:06:40.640 justify the means.

02:06:41.820 They don't.

02:06:42.500 You've got to do it the right way.

02:06:44.040 Yeah.

02:06:44.260 There might be a pathway to do something, but there are limits to that.

02:06:48.760 Back here tomorrow.

02:06:50.340 See you then.

02:06:52.480 This is Glenn Beck.

02:06:54.520 This is Glenn Beck.
