00:00:27.820
social media while on vacation yeah like i i don't even think about it i don't even think about
00:00:33.560
it no i think i posted i think i posted once which was just a because i happened to be in an
00:00:38.280
airport and i saw a bunch of luggage and i thought can i take one of these and get offered a job
00:00:42.900
managing our nuclear waste uh or do i have to wear prettier shoes first that was my only lipstick
00:00:48.840

process is hmm uh but that was the only thing guys the only time you chose not to and i chose
00:00:58.040
not to take the luggage right and let's let's let's see how that plays out but all right uh but you know
00:01:03.420

post from glenn glenn's just he's guy he's just an amazing guy just he'll just keep going he doesn't
00:01:12.440
there's never a stopping point for the guy nope
00:01:40.780
what you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment
00:02:06.120
uh really bizarre situation last night on monday night football uh potentially tragic but
00:02:20.000
hopefully uh the person involved will pull through but they stopped the uh they stopped the nfl game
00:02:27.460
for the first time i've ever seen and just didn't play it uh after a 24 year old safety
00:02:37.320
just collapsed after a tackle uh we'll get into that talk about what happened there
00:02:44.860
and it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn beck program last night on monday night football
00:03:00.580
uh demar is it demar hamlin yeah yeah demar hamlin uh made a tackle he he he was just i mean it was a
00:03:11.420
routine tackle yeah it looked like totally routine tackle running back ran into him
00:03:16.420
it kind of hit him in the chest maybe leveled his either helmet or shoulder pads and and kind of hit
00:03:23.280
him in the chest and uh hamlin wrapped his arms around him they both went down hamlin got right back
00:03:29.820
up and then he stumbled backward and fell to the ground and had had a cardiac arrest it's really
00:03:36.740
strange 24 years old healthy athlete but you heard some explanations about what that might have been
00:03:45.200
about yeah i mean there's obviously everyone's going to become a hard expert over the next couple
00:03:50.180
days i will attempt to to not go down that road i mean i was looking listening to and there's a
00:03:55.360
former nfl team doctor that i you know follow on social media and he did a broadcast about it and
00:04:01.460
and talking about the most likely outcomes obviously they're going to go and look at this
00:04:06.180
look at every possibility and we should we should of course investigate every possibility
00:04:11.720
um there's this thing commodio cordis which i of course don't i'm not an expert and i don't know
00:04:19.500
really anything about to be clear not not much of a heart surgeon i mean i do occasional heart surgeries
00:04:24.980
on the side you know i mean like just just you know like a more weekend guy yeah you know i don't do it
00:04:29.840
for a living right but you know i'll do some you know stuff for charity anyway uh so like discount
00:04:36.780
surgery yeah like i try to keep it let's keep the price down for people who need it yeah you know
00:04:41.500
um but so if you can't if you can't actually afford somebody who went to med school right then
00:04:47.540
they call you yeah i mean and that's what's amazing about stuff like youtube you really can learn
00:04:51.820
almost anything and so if you if you happen to be someone in that position like hey i need some
00:04:57.100
major heart surgery and i only have saturday open my doctor won't do it or you just aren't insured
00:05:02.800
you know i can i can probably help you out but that's really just it's a side thing for me okay
00:05:07.460
the only reason i know anything about this at all in all seriousness is because i was a little league
00:05:11.480
coach and so like and i remember as you know i was in little league when i was a kid like they
00:05:16.340
threw you out on the field you stood 10 inches away from aluminum bats striking the ball at your head
00:05:21.380
they barely even made you wear helmets while you were batting as a parent if you wanted water you were
00:05:26.960
a sissy you were a sissy right yeah like all that stuff as a parent uh things have changed quite a
00:05:34.220
bit uh a lot of safety precautions taken up you know from incidents right like an incident happens
00:05:40.020
and then you know these safety precautions face of you know fall throughout the entire world and so
00:05:46.100
when i was a kid you know my my son playing little league and i was coaching the i had never seen this
00:05:51.900
before i had a kid um but you now as a little leaguer in most areas have to wear like a chest
00:06:00.740
protector on the mound so like you know this is in t-ball right you're five and six years old you're
00:06:07.040
wearing a not a chest protector and a helmet sort of facial guard right yeah like almost a football
00:06:11.980
helmet yep uh on the mound which again this was not the case when i was a kid no i was kid we were
00:06:16.960
doing kid pitch at this age and just just line shots are coming back at your head and you're
00:06:21.640
supposed to move duck right duck get out of the way that's what the whole point is you get hit in
00:06:26.220
the head with it right put some dirt on it yeah let's go so uh walk it off yeah exactly that's all
00:06:32.800
yeah rub some dirt in it move you know move on with your life walk it off yep um now of course
00:06:37.080
apparently they tried that with somebody at some point and they couldn't move on with their life
00:06:40.860
so what a sissy right that was who was this sissy that ruined baseball for us i don't know oh man i
00:06:47.840
want to hear from them but they put on a chest protector because of this particular thing which
00:06:52.700
is incredibly it's very rare but it does happen to athletes it happens mostly in athletes and car
00:06:58.500
accidents those are the two two times it happens but basically it's a blunt a blunt object in this
00:07:04.120
case a helmet uh sometimes a baseball sometimes a steering wheel uh hits you in the chest at the
00:07:10.120
it's it can't even just be a chest hit it has to happen at the exact time during the heartbeat that
00:07:16.460
it like you know they have a chart of it which i've seen over the past 24 hours where like you know
00:07:21.420
you see that little like you know ekg it has to be at the exact moment like there's like a you know
00:07:27.240
a 10 millisecond area that if it hits right then it can it's not like a a typical heart attack it's
00:07:33.920
cardiac arrest it's different and it can it's not like a systemic heart problem with the person
00:07:40.920
where like if you know you you know we we all we have of course jeffy here who who works here
00:07:46.280
who has a weekly heart attacks what's the at this point is it weekly or bi-weekly bi-weekly
00:07:51.660
bi-weekly heart attacks and you know and i love jeffy and we he had a really scary he did incident a
00:07:57.840
few years ago where he had a really bad heart attack because of a blockage and you know i don't
00:08:02.300
know all of his arteries would be my guess but this has nothing to do with that it's not like that
00:08:06.400
it's not like you you know you just a freak accident that stopped his heart for some reason
00:08:10.140
it basically just just if it hits at this moment the heart just turns off and if you can get the
00:08:17.200
heart beating again very quickly usually people recover from it that's what we're hoping happened
00:08:21.740
here the doctor who was a former nfl team doctor basically said look the best place to collapse
00:08:30.660
from a heart from a heart issue like this is in a hospital the second best place is probably on
00:08:36.600
the field in an nfl game because there's so many people right there looking at all of this with all
00:08:43.020
the best equipment available to go immediately and and they did get to him quickly and got his heart
00:08:47.260
beating back on the field gave him cpr which is crucial yeah uh if you know they they had someone
00:08:52.740
had mentioned they had held the ambulance for the mom to get through the stadium and come down so
00:08:58.180
she could go and they were like that's a really good sign like if your vitals are back and they're
00:09:02.840
holding an ambulance all his vital signs were normal by the time he got to the hospital so that's really
00:09:07.480
positive yeah i think you know they're i don't know how he's still in critical condition though
00:09:12.200
they said critical but stable but all his vitals were normal that's kind of weird that he'd be in
00:09:17.500
critical condition i mean look it was really bad it just was bad you know taking out of of the
00:09:23.540
cause of it and all that like watching the broadcast you just don't see multiple nfl players
00:09:30.120
on the field sobbing yeah i know i've never seen anything like it praying sobbing praying sobbing
00:09:35.580
like it was really disturbing to watch and it was you know it's the thing that the nfl has and again
00:09:42.740
i've never seen them stop a game no like that and just stop playing and okay go home yeah oh really of
00:09:49.780
all the injuries we've seen we've seen people be you know somewhat paralyzed stingley got paralyzed
00:09:54.760
from the neck down they didn't stop the game they didn't stop the game they take them off the field
00:09:59.020
and they keep going there was a player back in i think it was this late 50s early 60s on the detroit
00:10:04.960
lions who had a heart attack during the game and died on the field oh and they continued the game
00:10:11.940
oh my gosh they finished the game i didn't realize an nfl player had ever died on the field it's been a
00:10:18.620
i think it was a i think the cause for that one was like an undiagnosed blockage in an artery like
00:10:24.400
it was like a normal heart attack this is something totally different is it just a cardiac arrest well
00:10:30.600
you know and it's it's important to hear the explanation because the otherwise the speculation
00:10:36.320
begins oh yeah i know i mean that's all i want i want to hear the explanation of a healthy 24 year
00:10:42.640
old who has cardiac arrest on the field for no reason and then you know and it sounds reasonable
00:10:50.240
okay that does happen and and then you don't have the speculation going on that it's you know whatever
00:10:56.780
and look we all know what happens to people on social media when you speculate um on stuff like
00:11:01.840
this but like it should you should a should be able to speculate you know it it may this is an
00:11:08.920
initial report from a doctor who was watching it on television right and there's and and look i think
00:11:14.440
we are at the point with uh all of the stuff that wherever you are on it when it comes to you know
00:11:21.540
obviously like there's a lot of speculation about the vaccine and all that wherever you are on it you're
00:11:26.940
going to remain there no amount of evidence is going to push you one iota of a of an inch in any
00:11:33.300
direction i i think that's where everybody is so i i don't know there's all that much value but
00:11:37.240
i do think all that stuff should be everything should be looked at like this is the type of
00:11:43.020
story that like we will get a lot of initial reports and people will find what they want to
00:11:46.680
find uh they will also not find what they don't want to find like everyone's going to find in these
00:11:51.820
initial reports kind of something that supports what they believe i think that being said over a
00:11:58.720
long period of time you do get i think real reporting on this and real information and hopefully we
00:12:03.940
find more answers because i think everyone has like it's a very strange incident and it's not
00:12:08.980
something that i think it is you know really weird very weird and understandable that people would
00:12:13.520
have questions i i do like whether this was the commodio cordis or something else like we know that
00:12:21.520
does exist it has it does happen to players it does happen to people in car accidents you know it
00:12:26.400
happens obviously to at least i feel like it's like the uh the you gotta x-ray your candy type of thing
00:12:32.560
i don't know if it happened like one time or if it was like common but i know that my kid looked
00:12:36.680
like a football player on the mound uh playing little league ball uh while kids were hitting t-balls at
00:12:41.960
three miles an hour uh toward him for some reason i assume at some point uh this was a concern so
00:12:49.700
you know you look at this stuff and we won't we're never going to get we're never going to get
00:12:53.560
answers that please everybody to the stuff i think what's interesting though is
00:12:56.620
there has been a a long time fear in the nfl that this could be the type of thing that everyone's
00:13:04.420
sitting around their television having a nice family moment watching an nfl game and someone
00:13:09.080
drops dead on the field because maybe more of like a really rough hit or something else like i think that
00:13:15.500
was more of the fear right someone just gets absolutely destroyed and hits their head and and dies
00:13:21.020
right like something of that nature but like the nfl has been terrified of this there was a profile of
00:13:27.720
of roger goodell that who's the commissioner of the nfl and he the the title of it was like
00:13:36.460
roger goodell is terrified that someone's going to die on the field during a game like that was the
00:13:41.520
title of the profile like this is like their well they've had they've had to battle the cte thing
00:13:47.040
for years now and i think that scared the crap out of them and so yeah somebody dying on the field
00:13:53.660
can you imagine that that could conceivably shut down the nfl it's and it's the type of thing that
00:13:59.300
the there are a lot of enemies of the of the nfl this is a a masculine game it is a a a part of our
00:14:11.080
culture that is it is literally called american football right it is that key to the culture of
00:14:17.360
the united states it is the most watched show every year it is the most watched show every week
00:14:24.420
it is as central to the american culture as anything else it is that big of a deal and if you don't think
00:14:33.460
that there are plenty of enemies towards something that is that central to our culture especially i mean
00:14:39.780
like the left wants to shut down everything that is american culture did you see the movie on what
00:14:45.640
was it called concussion yeah with will smith yeah yeah i i mean they make the point in there they own
00:14:51.180
a day of the week yeah i mean they do and so uh and it was you know it was the day of the week that
00:14:56.520
was previously owned by god right yes exactly their telling of the story yeah you know i and it's they
00:15:05.420
own it so much that uh college football won't do their ball games on sunday yeah they when they're
00:15:11.560
on january 1st january 1st is supposed to be college football bowl day and instead they moved
00:15:17.080
it to monday yesterday uh because of nfl football that's it is incredible that's amazing you know our
00:15:23.020
our church has three services and it's like it was 9 uh 10 30 and noon i think were the three times
00:15:30.740
yeah and i don't know a couple years ago they shifted it to 8 30 10 and 11 30 so that you could
00:15:36.920
avoid i swear that's why they did it time i swear they wanted because it's we're in central time by
00:15:42.420
the way so the the nfl games start at noon and i gotta tell you i make the decision of which one we
00:15:47.880
go to based on when like the eagles are playing at noon which they were this past weekend you're going
00:15:52.680
at 8 30 i'm not going at 11 30 no i'm going to 10 or 8 30 because i you know like i mean you know
00:15:59.180
i don't know if i'm proud of that but like hey if i can get both of them done you know why wouldn't
00:16:05.420
i and i swear because when they had it at uh 11 or you know it was uh yeah it was eight no it was 10
00:16:12.320
they had it at 10 30 so the 10 30 one would end at you know 11 45 and then you're like jamming your
00:16:18.680
foot on the gas to get home in time for the start of the games and you know i don't know how many car
00:16:23.040
accidents were caused by this all of them all of them all car accidents and now we have to wear
00:16:27.260
chest protectors when we drive which is 888-727-BECK
00:16:31.960
it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn back program he's back tomorrow i'm emotionally scarred
00:16:39.320
from this little league presentation that i received as a coach back back in the day because
00:16:43.280
i it was the only reason this when i heard this term and they started describing it the only reason i
00:16:49.020
remembered it was from this presentation it was before the this is the commodio cordis thing
00:16:53.800
where your heart stops due to blunt force blunt force heart heart object right in the right spot
00:16:59.360
at the right time and so they did this presentation and this is texas little league right so you know
00:17:05.560
that they're running up against a lot of flack right like texas little league wants to wear a chest
00:17:10.020
protector uh even their they don't want their kids wearing a chest protector when they're pitching
00:17:15.180
no and and this is it wasn't even a pitching pad it was it was t-ball there's not even gosh you're
00:17:20.600
kidding it's t-ball t-ball and you know and you've watched t-ball before like the kids don't hit t-ball
00:17:25.760
to begin with right and then you put the chest protector on the kid at first at on the mound on
00:17:30.680
the mound yeah come on and they did this presentation it was like wow it was not only first of all it's a
00:17:36.440
rubber ball right it's a rubberized it's a heart yeah harder rubberized yeah and then secondly the
00:17:41.820
ball's being hit about half a mile an hour back to the if they can reach the mound with the ball it
00:17:47.240
was like a big play yeah you know i mean only the best kids can get it back to the mound hey but they
00:17:54.300
were like uh intense about it to the point that they said if because they know i mean look texas
00:17:59.780
parents are like come on rub some dirt in it yeah and so they said if you are caught with not having
00:18:05.000
your kid with a chest protector on the mound not only will you be uh your you will be removed from
00:18:10.620
the league as a coach my gosh and your kid will be uh you know i don't know put in jail put in
00:18:17.540
prison thrown into thrown in a dungeon i don't know it was something your kid will be bussed directly to
00:18:22.680
huntsville right yeah guantanamo i think it was guantanamo okay yeah uh that's even better but they
00:18:29.140
were freaking serious about it i mean it was like a length that was the central thing i remember from it
00:18:35.280
because of course as a kid you're as a parent of a young kid you're terrified of every little thing
00:18:39.620
um you know you don't want them falling over and hitting their head on the corner of a table so
00:18:43.420
you've got like every you know as they grow up but like i remember that thing thinking to myself
00:18:47.840
what are they talking about i had never heard of it before i mean i you know i played little
00:18:52.040
league all when i was a kid and no it was not even a consideration no but so it is you know look
00:18:56.080
it is a rare thing must have happened at some point right even in t-ball maybe yeah it must have
00:19:01.120
been or you know some level of baseball to justify this i don't that's why your lawn mower says
00:19:07.040
don't low don't mow your lawn on the roof or snowblower snowblower don't know the snowblower
00:19:13.200
on roof yeah somebody's done somebody did it in the past some brilliant person did it by the way
00:19:17.920
that seems like an actually a really good idea but yeah they they it's one of those things that
00:19:25.340
scars you as a parent as you get into that because you're like what wait you're saying what could
00:19:29.180
happen is it okay for me and look if you don't think of that tackle football around the country is
00:19:36.820
going to take a massive hit from what happened last night i'm talking for kids it is it's going
00:19:42.660
you know we've been on the fence on this because you know look there's i played tackle football as a
00:19:48.380
kid me too we all did right and in texas it is like a different thing i played in connecticut
00:19:55.420
in texas like seventh grade seems to be the year that literally every boy plays football like it's not
00:20:03.480
even like even if you don't like football you just get on the team and play that one year
00:20:07.340
as like a tradition yeah and everybody plays tackle football flag football has grown in popularity as
00:20:12.960
some of the health concerns have come out and so they keep extending how long you can play flag
00:20:17.900
football for a while it's like to like fourth grade and it's fifth grade sixth grade now it's like i think
00:20:21.520
all the way to eighth grade but like you know my son desperately wants to play tackle football
00:20:25.760
my wife does not want my son to play tackle football you know and i i don't want my i don't
00:20:31.380
want my kid to be you know just as a parent like god you put him in there and something happens you're
00:20:37.080
going to blame yourself for the rest of your life but like i guarantee it took a massive hit just people
00:20:43.860
watching that game and watching that happen last night to protect their kids there's going to be a lot
00:20:48.500
i could parents that want to bail on this back program pat and stew for glenn on the glenn deck
00:21:00.240
program triple eight seven two seven b e c k uh it looks like the first trans prisoner execution
00:21:11.880
is about to take place never had one in the united states before now finally we've we've achieved
00:21:17.920
equality right right that's our goal right yeah i guess okay unless missouri governor mike parson
00:21:28.220
grants amnesty uh amber mclaughlin 949 will become the first transgender woman executed in the united
00:21:36.400
states scheduled to die by injection tuesday for killing a former girlfriend in 2003 uh so there's
00:21:43.700
no apparently there's no court appeals pending or or anything so this might uh actually happen
00:21:50.140
the petition also includes reports citing a diagnosis of gender dysphoria i thought that wasn't a thing
00:21:57.140
anymore i thought i thought now i i guess only if it's a benefit to the trans person is it now a thing
00:22:05.300
but gender dysphoria is a condition that causes anguish and other symptoms as a result of a disparity
00:22:12.140
between a person's gender identity and their assigned sex at birth so that's what their that's
00:22:16.980
what their lawyer is is claiming now uh that that they have gender dysphoria so you should
00:22:24.360
grant clemency don't know if that's going to work uh i guess we'll see this is kind of a convoluted
00:22:30.560
sort of upside down situation now yeah it's fascinating because i i thought the way that this
00:22:35.920
the media handles this is when transgender people commit terrible crimes then you just say they're
00:22:43.300
not really trans right like yeah that's what they did with the non-binary mass shooter right they were
00:22:49.820
just like ah we don't believe them wait wait you've been telling us for months and years we're not
00:22:56.920
allowed to not believe them exactly it's only what they say about themselves we can't we can't determine
00:23:04.000
their gender it's impossible for us to do it it's only what they say it is that that's your standard
00:23:08.960
not ours that's right and then when the guy comes out he's like yeah i'm non-binary no you're not you're
00:23:14.440
not no no no you're not no we want you to be we want you to be a white incel male so you are a white
00:23:23.160
incel male wait i thought only the person could determine this that's not the the way it works
00:23:28.640
anymore well even with george santos you know the the most popular and most incredible representative
00:23:35.560
in all of congress now uh now they're they're asking if he's even gay oh really he's openly gay
00:23:41.920
right right but now is he really gay no he was once married to a woman so he's not gay
00:23:47.080
oh all right fascinating because like they will none of this stuff means anything to any of them
00:23:54.660
on the left or in the media like they don't care at all about care like we get to this point i think
00:24:01.140
sometimes because of the drumbeat of these daily stories where we think oh gosh they're so committed
00:24:08.180
to this transgender cause that x y and z well no they're not committed at all to the transgender cause
00:24:14.220
they're committed up until the to the extent that it helps them at that moment and then when the next
00:24:20.140
moment when they need to completely reverse their position and say the exact opposite of everything
00:24:26.180
they've been saying then they will do that it's incredible we've seen it with the women's rights
00:24:31.360
stuff right like leah thomas no of course leah thomas is a woman of course how dare you question how you are
00:24:39.260
inhuman and then something happens where they have to say how important women are in sports and then they
00:24:46.200
just switch yep they switch completely to now all you should care about is how important women are
00:24:51.660
in sports and they get away with all that only women can get pregnant you know remember that right
00:24:56.160
yeah it's like oh wait you guys have been telling us forever that men can get pregnant now now only
00:25:01.940
women can get pregnant again it's like in this whatever if it suits them yes ever helps them in a given
00:25:08.920
moment no question is all they will do and this is why i think like you know there's there's sort of this
00:25:13.460
divide on the conservative side as to whether you know to to boil it down maybe is whether you
00:25:21.520
stick with your principles or you embrace their tactics right whether you just say screw it
00:25:30.760
they are constantly being hypocrites let's also be hypocrites right like and and while i don't like
00:25:37.940
that approach you know i do the in moments like this you understand why it exists you can understand
00:25:46.280
why someone would say you know what i don't care i don't care if we're going to sound exactly like
00:25:50.780
them and we're flip-flopping on something we said five minutes ago it's what helps us at this moment
00:25:55.200
and if they're using that tactic we should use that tactic i can understand people making that argument
00:26:00.300
and it's almost that overt yeah just do it just do it who cares whether whether it connects with your
00:26:08.520
underlying principles or not now a bigger part of me says you should care right like you should i don't
00:26:14.460
want to be them i don't want to be them whether we win or lose a battle here or there or not i don't
00:26:20.040
want to be them i can't i can't live with myself i can't live with myself if i if i turn out like
00:26:25.160
msnbc in the end but i can understand why people want to do it you know the fighting fire with fire
00:26:33.580
thing is is an understandable instinct at this point this is incredible yeah it is and in this
00:26:40.940
george santos uh situation yes reading a little bit more about that yesterday the no wait i want to
00:26:45.960
make sure i understand this is the first openly gay congressman elected as a republican and a non-incumbent
00:26:54.700
exactly thank you thank you yes and he apparently lied about certain aspects of his life yes and so
00:27:00.120
you know yesterday i was a little i i maybe flippant about how big a deal it was i mean the guy has
00:27:06.640
lied extensively though yeah and just completely misrepresented his life to his constituents and
00:27:14.480
that's what they voted on you know based on the things he said i guess oh this is not a good story
00:27:19.360
it's not a good story for republicans at all i thought we were clear yesterday maybe i know but
00:27:24.800
like this is really bad and it is you shouldn't do it it's i i think the thing i'm most fascinated
00:27:30.700
about is how it was not uncovered beforehand like how it took so long how there was not a right you
00:27:38.380
know i was how did we find out only after the guy's elected you didn't do any of this research
00:27:43.380
before beforehand like you know you went to nyu why would you say that if you hadn't been there
00:27:47.880
because you know people are going to look it up if you're a republican if you're a republican the
00:27:52.920
new york times is going to go down to nyu or make a phone call and say hey was george santos ever
00:27:59.020
enrolled at nyu and they're going to find out no he wasn't and then that's going to look bad for you
00:28:03.620
it's a quite quite a commentary on the state of the media though i was i was talking to doug gaudi
00:28:07.880
our great affiliate wgy in albany this morning and you know his point was how where was
00:28:14.100
where how come there was no you know local newspaper before this election occurred who
00:28:21.020
had uncovered any of this where was exactly and it's it is fascinating especially in this day and
00:28:26.940
age now i know the media has there's been a lot of cuts in the media there's not as many local
00:28:31.140
reporters and all of that but like just considering how many people are obsessed with politics and all
00:28:36.900
the people that like are on the internet just tweeting for free digging into every aspect of
00:28:41.580
everybody's life all the time you'd think this would be uncovered it is remarkable number one it
00:28:46.560
wasn't uncovered number two that he thought he could get away with it yeah incredible how can that
00:28:51.800
be possible he claimed until last wednesday uh that his mother fatima devolder worked her way up to
00:28:59.500
become the first female executive at a major financial institution and that uh she also worked in the
00:29:07.040
south tower of the world trade center and that after the attack she died a few years later kind of
00:29:12.700
implying that maybe it was something from the you know i don't know fallout or the building or the
00:29:17.620
asbestos or something in the air that killed her uh apparently her his mother had never been
00:29:25.540
anything but a a cleaning woman um so there's another massive lie uh she only spoke portuguese
00:29:35.420
uh she was she was a cook and and a cleaner uh his roommates said that she was hard working but she
00:29:44.840
she only uh cleaned homes and sold food none of those interviewed by the times could recall any
00:29:51.280
instance of her working in finance several chalked up the story to santos 10 tendency for myth making
00:29:56.480
apparently he was well known by his friends for just making stuff up all the time who has friends
00:30:02.000
like that i don't know well jeffi we do have friends yeah well that's true jeffi i could
00:30:06.580
definitely see doing something like this he said he attended some prestigious private institution in
00:30:11.060
the bronx the horace mann school uh and dropped out in 2006 there's no record of him ever attending
00:30:16.680
that that's the weird thing about amazing it's oddly specific yeah it is right you know you could
00:30:22.100
track it down and check it you know yeah right stupid to lie like that right like if you could say i
00:30:26.980
you know i worked in a private school yeah i went to a private school i was in finance like that would be
00:30:31.180
difficult to track down to i mean who even knows what the horace mann school is right like you'd have
00:30:35.900
to right unless you live in new york right i'm sure it's fairly well known right the um the it reminds
00:30:42.340
me of um catch me if you can the movie the caprio movie where yeah but that was the 60s you know yeah
00:30:48.420
there was a little harder to track things down without the internet exactly but like he was that
00:30:52.940
was what he was doing he would have these very specific backstories that he told to people to fool
00:30:57.480
them and and to manipulate them um and i you know it was a great documentary uh but uh i didn't think
00:31:04.240
leo did that stuff but it's like in 2023 and i guess he didn't get away with it right i mean he
00:31:10.920
hasn't even been sworn in yet and he's already under lots of pressure to resign but today's the day
00:31:14.800
yeah and i think look the most likely thing especially with the type of margins in the house
00:31:20.380
we're talking about is normally i think in a normal situation he would get so much pressure
00:31:26.040
that they probably the republicans would be like ah remove him remove him you should resign they would
00:31:31.300
put pressure on him internally with a five seat majority i may not be surprised if he makes it
00:31:38.320
through this every once in a while this happens you know like candidates go through like really crazy
00:31:44.240
stuff it seems like they're going to to resign but let's be clear democrats wouldn't resign over this
00:31:49.640
no i didn't even acknowledge it again look what biden is light about his entire life i mean we knew that
00:31:57.120
during the first uh presidential campaign he ran back in 1988 when he claimed that he graduated with
00:32:04.400
three degrees he had one he claimed that he was at the top of his class he was near the bottom he was
00:32:11.320
certainly in the bottom third of his class uh he claimed all kinds of things that just weren't true
00:32:17.540
and he even admitted it there was a we played this a few weeks ago on uh on my show pat grand leash
00:32:23.460
that where he's admitting back then to exaggerating to make a point and he said he does it all the time
00:32:32.700
yeah well and he does and i but it's okay for him right because he's folksy right and it's funny
00:32:38.300
because like that's essentially the defense of we were just describing from the friends of george santos
00:32:43.700
who were saying like look you know he's just he just makes lots of stuff up he's always making
00:32:47.540
stuff up like that that is essentially biden's 50-year excuse for this problem yeah no that's
00:32:53.580
just joe b and joe joe b and joe you know yes he lies he makes stuff up all the time he describes
00:32:58.160
personal memories from his life that didn't exist charming what was the thing where you remember
00:33:02.340
back i guess this was i can't remember which campaign he's run for he's ran so many times but it
00:33:08.720
was the uh katie's oh yeah yeah yeah restaurant was it yes restaurant his hometown that had been
00:33:14.660
closed for decades and i can't remember the details of it but like he every single time this man has run
00:33:21.100
for any office he has he has been in a controversy where he's made up multiple things remember it was
00:33:29.560
uh the other one was i mean he talked about the it was one of the presidents making a speech on tv
00:33:35.680
he remembered seeing it and the tv had been 1929 no yeah he watched uh fdr in 1929 or something
00:33:42.420
it's like all of those things i mean he's had i mean i wouldn't i don't think it's an exaggeration
00:33:50.160
to say he's had at least 100 of those moments that are the equivalent or more or worse than
00:33:55.920
anything george santos did definitely and no one cared definitely no one cared they were all just
00:34:00.580
little quirks uh joe biden he occasionally does go off the rails a little bit but we love him and
00:34:06.820
that's why we give him a big joe biden hug oh we love good old uncle joe george santos is satan
00:34:13.860
however and and let's write what has there been eight eight pieces in the new york times about this
00:34:20.480
guy easy who again was if you did not live in new york i guarantee you had never heard his name before
00:34:26.900
you had never heard of him before the new york times started flying reporters to brazil
00:34:37.480
to look at court records from when he was a teenager incredible hunter biden he gave you a laptop with
00:34:47.180
every single interaction he has had over multiple years which included him with hookers
00:34:56.020
with drugs with potentially shady business dealings you had all of it and you ignored it for
00:35:05.280
at least a year before you even admitted it really was a laptop of underbided even after you admit it
00:35:10.920
you continue to ignore it yep 888-727-BECK more coming up
00:35:19.400
it's bat and stupor glenn on the glenn back program 888-727-BECK
00:35:32.300
hey over the break uh did you see what michelle obama had to say about barack uh fascinating i think
00:35:40.660
she was on was she on the coven uh you know the view with the little coven that they have
00:35:46.200
they get the witches brew in the middle of it and and then you know michelle in there talking to him
00:35:52.060
uh about you know the past like people think i'm being catty by saying this it's like there were
00:36:03.900
wait that's so great i mean and the first thing that comes to mind is well okay well great we got
00:36:10.960
some common ground with you that i didn't think we ever had that's a sort of bipartisanship i didn't
00:36:15.240
know existed yeah we also could stand your husband and as a matter of fact still can't
00:36:21.080
say that you take all years and guess when it happened when those kids were little right right
00:36:27.100
right because when you were like you know you can use a senator and you were coming into the white
00:36:31.200
house right and the first years of the presidency they were little so that's when you couldn't stand
00:36:36.880
him interesting i wish we had that information back in the day it's interesting fascinating why
00:36:41.600
would you ever say that in public about your husband when you're both so high profile
00:36:49.600
this is the glenn back program uh i'm interested in the uh human composting story it's really yeah i
00:36:59.240
i mean you got some bodies or you've been looking to get rid of and make me improve the soil i mean
00:37:03.860
yeah uh the soil improvement will be significant i think with with human compost yeah i yeah i mean
00:37:11.200
what's the next step on this soylent soylent green you know it's it's people
00:37:16.020
it it's 45 seconds yeah i don't have don't have my machine uh turned up but uh it is people and
00:37:24.160
we learned that what 50 years ago exactly in a documentary yeah in the documentary soylent green
00:37:29.400
so we'll be eating people soon i mean if they can't push the bugs down our throat they'll try to
00:37:34.720
push cannibalism down our throat it's coming it's coming just incredible the uh lack of respect for
00:37:43.320
human life and and humans and death for that matter it turned us into a compost morally if i had to
00:37:50.560
choose between uh cannibalism and bugs i would pick bugs but me too but taste wise i think the
00:37:57.500
experience i might pick i make pick might pick cannibalism i think bug thing that all the legs and
00:38:26.460
what you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is
00:38:53.280
the glenn back program pat and stew for glenn today he'll be back tomorrow so what's coming
00:39:02.700
up in the year 2023 for us we'll give you a well we'll give you all the important information on
00:39:07.580
that uh from people who apparently know and have predicted our future let you know what that is
00:39:13.240
less than 60 seconds it's pat and stew uh got some predictions for the coming year
00:39:27.820
from some people i wouldn't normally expect predictions from like uh you remember dimitri
00:39:36.580
medvedev oh yeah he was former president of russia yeah he was the guy who uh i remember president
00:39:44.340
obama yes talking to and president obama mentioned uh he had a lot more uh flexibility after the
00:39:51.120
election for whatever shady thing they were discussing he also was the guy who there was a time where
00:39:58.020
there was a russian constitution i don't think you can really make the case there is one anymore
00:40:02.100
but the russian constitution said you can only have two terms in a row so they went putin putin
00:40:07.660
and then they went medvedev for one term as like the puppet yeah and then they went right back to
00:40:13.280
putin again right and then putin was like this is stupid no more of this so then they canceled that
00:40:17.340
whole clause and now he could just stay in there forever yeah so now apparently he's into um i don't
00:40:22.480
know psychic predictions really yeah he has said let's see for europe and asia there will be a fourth
00:40:29.260
reich created this year encompassing the territory of germany poland and the baltic states uh the
00:40:39.720
czech republic slovakia and the kiev republic what is the is he talking about ukraine i think he's
00:40:47.240
denying ukraine as a country basically okay so and other outcasts will join that fourth reich
00:40:53.300
uh he also had several other predictions related to the economic and financial uh situation including
00:41:01.700
that oil prices will rise to 150 a barrel gas will top uh five dollars per thousand cubic meters
00:41:11.020
no way to tell what that is because it's the metric system and and there's no way to know there's no way
00:41:16.200
to know no way to know is it that you just don't know or no no no it's just no way to tell with the
00:41:21.220
metric system it's a mystery you can't get there from here there's no conversion exactly right uh he
00:41:26.900
also claimed that all the largest stock markets and financial activity will leave the u.s and europe
00:41:32.340
and move to asia further the bretonwood system of monetary management will collapse leading the imf
00:41:41.060
and world bank to crash euro and the dollar will stop they're going to stop circulating this year as
00:41:49.220
the global reserve currencies digital fiat currencies will be actively used instead
00:41:54.180
uh for europe he's he claimed that the uk will rejoin the european union leading to its downfall
00:42:02.260
that would be an unusual circumstance they just left it now they're going to want back in i guess
00:42:08.400
and he says the eu will collapse after the uk's return euro will drop out of use as the former eu
00:42:15.680
currency poland and hungary will take control of western parts of what he says is the formally
00:42:22.720
existing ukraine while northern ireland will separate from the uk and join the republic of ireland
00:42:28.980
this is really interesting yeah it is it is war will break out between france and the fourth reich
00:42:38.440
which has been yet to be created but will be this year i guess europe will be divided poland
00:42:44.120
repartitioned in the process now for america he says that the u.s uh civil war will break out in
00:42:53.080
the u.s in the coming year he claims california and texas will break apart from the rest of the
00:42:58.840
country and become independent states texas and mexico will form an allied state
00:43:05.580
huh yeah i don't seem unlikely that as someone who lives here feels a tad unlikely it does and
00:43:14.520
elon musk will win the presidential election in a number of states which after the civil war's end
00:43:21.220
will have been given to the gop wow uh what a soothsayer he seems to be now i i have a couple
00:43:31.060
minor problems okay with that um elon musk was born in south africa wasn't he yes like so he would
00:43:39.320
not be constitutionally eligible to win the presidency of the united states that's correct
00:43:42.940
but i mean i guess maybe after the civil war though there's so many changes maybe we just get rid of
00:43:47.660
that clause exactly you know look russia has a lot of good information uh and they they tell it in a
00:43:53.380
very pleasant way usually you know did you see did you watch the russian new year celebration
00:43:57.940
were you i did not this year this was the first time something going on first time in about a
00:44:02.100
decade i haven't been glued to the screen something i'm wrong with your dvr or yes yeah my i think my
00:44:07.960
satellite went down really yeah okay that might be what happened um because i of course did watch it
00:44:13.420
as i as i do every year make sure i understand what's really going on because okay as you know
00:44:17.960
russia is really the center of the universe it's not we're not us it's russia russia makes all the
00:44:23.040
decisions they they prop up the rest of the world yeah and that's what i learned and there's some
00:44:27.860
other things i learned and also some really catchy songs i i heard while watching the russian new
00:44:33.580
year i think we have a clip of it and we'll try to walk you through this is in russian um but i
00:44:39.100
think you'll just enjoy it for the few people who don't speak russian there are a few in our audience
00:44:42.940
we did we did some research recently up to three percent of this audience does not speak fluent
00:44:46.660
russian so there is okay okay oh wow very happy music isn't it yeah this is not a country of war
00:44:58.180
now it's so cheesy to see it's an amazing okay here's some commentary my new year's toast will
00:45:08.600
this year will be a bit unusual during the past year the west tried to destroy russia that's what
00:45:15.260
happened no yeah they didn't realize that in the composition of the world
00:45:19.100
russia is the load-bearing structure oh which i didn't know wow that's why i realize that he's
00:45:27.120
right about that yes gentlemen like it or not russia is enlarging that's how they describe the war
00:45:38.040
all right so okay it's enlarging it's not a war oh and then back to the music happy very happy
00:45:45.100
music look how happy they are oh yeah they're thrilled look at the dance
00:45:48.220
now this is from this year right yeah this is this year this is not 1962
00:45:57.420
no it is that of that style though i mean you could see this you could see
00:46:02.760
uh those old school like variety show performers yeah in the middle of this
00:46:09.340
this is embarrassing it's so bad and everybody in the audience with these like giant smiles
00:46:16.580
and the cheesy lighting and oh it's oh gosh it's so bad terrible production
00:46:24.100
i wonder what life in russia is like because obviously like the battle is being fought
00:46:30.340
largely in ukraine right so like their life is turned completely upside down and the russians
00:46:36.840
russians generally speaking are i mean they're having financial struggles by some measures but like
00:46:44.560
you know life is sort of normal for them they're kind of just like that's a way over there in that
00:46:49.320
other country that will soon be part of our enlargement so there you go in case you happen
00:46:55.160
to miss it wow the russian new year's did did go on uh it's interesting they didn't they didn't give
00:47:00.820
any helpful uh safety tips to the russian oligarchs though like stay away from windows uh russian
00:47:08.940
oligarchs businessmen politicians uh continue to fall out windows to their death terrible uh out
00:47:16.240
hospital windows windows at their homes and uh by the droves literally dozens have died generals
00:47:24.600
oligarchs it just happened again the other day where a lawmaker one of the russian lawmakers
00:47:30.180
fell out his window and died now this is all coincidence but well yeah many of them are against
00:47:36.880
the regime that is a coincidence coincidentally that is true all of those who fall out windows
00:47:42.120
have been critical of putin and the war so i would say if you've been critical of putin and the war
00:47:48.720
stay away from windows yeah you know unless you're on the ground floor then it's probably not as bad
00:47:54.340
not as bad but man they are clumsy in in russia it's fascinating you know every once in a while
00:48:00.280
today is the big mccarthy vote we'll give you updates on that as it as it comes and and whether
00:48:06.120
they can come up with a house uh speaker of the house but it's like it we do have our challenges
00:48:13.060
here in the country but like every once in a while you look around the world you're like whoa it's still
00:48:17.580
did you follow the peru stuff at all what happened in peru no i don't think so there's a president of
00:48:23.040
peru i'm gonna butcher this story if you if you're like i know my peruvian politics i will definitely
00:48:28.740
butcher this but my quick reading of it this is over the past few weeks one day the president
00:48:35.740
peru comes in he's about to be impeached i guess they tried to impeach him multiple times because
00:48:39.940
they he was a a farmer with no political experience and he uh i guess the government at the time was
00:48:48.260
sort of pro-market they were you know again not for u.s standards but like yeah was an evil right-wing
00:48:55.700
government to some of the people and this a socialist sort of opposition pops up this guy's a farmer
00:49:02.280
he has no experience somehow wins the presidency gets in and it's like from day one a complete
00:49:07.260
catastrophe like he's just he's you know all sorts of corruption and everything else they try to they
00:49:13.160
try to throw him out of office multiple times uh and they're finally getting to the vote where he's
00:49:18.580
actually going to get kicked out of office like that day he wakes up they're going to kick him out
00:49:23.120
of office later that day in an impeachment vote theoretically he then wakes up goes on tv
00:49:29.020
and has a speech he's like hey i've dissolved the government no longer counts nothing they do
00:49:37.500
today counts so he dissolves the government okay then did that work it did not work oh it did not
00:49:44.380
work the uh the uh the government was like no you can't just dissolve the government the military
00:49:48.520
is really kind of what these things often come down to sides with the lawmakers not the president
00:49:54.440
they come in they pull him out of office throw him in prison over a period of four hours
00:50:00.420
from the big his speech on tv to him being in prison four hours wow and you think to yourself
00:50:07.880
wow it is at least we have more stability than that like i now look is it is it totally out of the
00:50:17.040
question that biden would come on tv in an hour and dissolve the government no i gave it's definitely
00:50:21.640
possible but like even when you look at like january 6 which was a really you know terrible crappy day
00:50:27.920
uh in american history just despite what well it was the day democracy that's right almost died no
00:50:36.120
that's not what happened like despite the nonsense that has been made of it out of the media like it
00:50:41.260
was a riot at the capitol it was an ugly day some people were very very naughty that day yes um was it
00:50:46.840
the day that democracy almost died no it was not it was the democracy was fine in a few hours we didn't
00:50:52.960
have the president removed and we just went along with the process it took a few hours of delay
00:50:57.460
and the normal process went forward in peru they went from the guy was president to the guy was in
00:51:04.640
prison within a four-hour period like that is that's a day incredible yeah that's they're getting
00:51:10.240
they're getting stuff done we've dissolved more governments by 9 a.m than most countries do
00:51:18.860
in a lifetime and you're well right at least well actually a lot of countries dissolve their
00:51:24.780
governments a lot of countries go through this stuff in america has been pretty good at avoiding
00:51:28.900
it we do have our challenges and and and i will say i don't know what you think what's as far as the
00:51:33.720
mccarthy thing goes today speaker of the house i don't know what's going to happen there they think it
00:51:37.700
might go to a second vote for the first time since 1923 yeah 100 years yeah 100 years i expect that
00:51:45.820
to be true it actually went to nine votes in 1923 so and that's the process again we're not perfect
00:51:51.580
the process seems to be correct me if i'm wrong pat they come up they have a speaker of the house vote
00:51:56.680
and if they don't get somebody they vote again and if they don't get someone that time they vote again
00:52:01.240
right if they don't get someone that time they vote again and they continue this process of just
00:52:04.660
voting again until they get one until they get a 218 vote majority and until then none of the
00:52:12.420
people who were just elected can be sworn in until they have a speaker of the house so none of these
00:52:17.320
people actually are sworn in as official members of congress if i'm understanding the process right
00:52:22.160
which i will say it's a bit convoluted it could be a long day for them i think it could go on it
00:52:27.540
could go on for days yeah i mean i think you know what's the process here you have a five seat
00:52:33.080
majority they're not going to give it to a democrat so it's going to be in theory a republican
00:52:37.020
the republicans have mccarthy kevin mccarthy who i keep calling andy mccarthy who is
00:52:42.720
uh not only an actor from that is so weird that's the same thing i want to do i want to do i don't
00:52:47.320
know why and also he's a writer at national review so everybody's that andy mccarthy i want that to be
00:52:53.380
his name he should change his name to andy then he'd win the vote i think people might think
00:52:57.600
are you the guy from weekend at bernie's um i don't know then yes i'm voting yes i'm voting yes
00:53:02.540
but like what's the path let's just let's talk about what the path is if they don't get this vote
00:53:06.860
with mccarthy here because i don't know where you go it's going to be an interesting one if i don't
00:53:11.520
know how they're going to do it back in 60 seconds it's baton stew for glenn 888-727-BECK you know
00:53:18.960
the other interesting thing about the vote for the speaker of the house you don't have to be a member
00:53:23.600
of congress to be speaker of the house that's right for instance and this went around a while
00:53:28.220
ago you you could actually vote uh donald trump in as speaker of the house you could you could so
00:53:35.780
maybe if it went five or six or seven rounds they still don't have a winner somebody suggests
00:53:39.720
hey let's make trump the the speaker and maybe they get it then i don't count on that yeah i would
00:53:45.440
say it's highly unlikely highly unlikely yes but jeffy could could be voted in speaker of the house he
00:53:51.800
could be he could be he i don't think he's running currently he's not he he did run for pope i
00:53:56.400
remember one year right did not get that either no he didn't so that's uh i think catholics consider
00:54:02.580
themselves fairly lucky and fortunate that that didn't happen oh i think the whole world
00:54:06.020
so if kevin mccarthy does not get the vote i still think that's probably the most likely scenario in
00:54:12.420
that he maybe fails once but then they just keep voting and eventually he gets it yeah because people
00:54:17.080
just want to go home i just want to go home yeah kevin mccarthy whatever and like my my reactionary
00:54:24.200
sort of thought on this is i want someone more conservative i want someone who's yeah we're just
00:54:30.120
not going to get it it's going to be tough with this sort of congress right with five votes there are
00:54:35.180
plenty of i mean there are pro probably more pro-choice republicans in congress that would be able to
00:54:41.280
to stop someone more conservative like you have moderates who have to get on board here so you
00:54:46.840
have to find someone going down the middle well how do you do that well they're going to try with
00:54:51.560
mccarthy see if that works i think the most likely step after that if they if they give up on that
00:54:57.020
approach is steve scalise who i think is more again i don't think any but he's not running he's not
00:55:05.580
now he'd have to throw himself into the right and that would be after failures yeah you know yeah but if
00:55:10.380
they if they don't get mccarthy i think scalise is the most likely guy they can't like you know we
00:55:16.620
talked to andy biggs who was running as well but like there's no way you're going to get consensus
00:55:21.220
on someone like that you're not going to be able to get a you know someone who's seen as this like
00:55:24.880
freedom freedom caucus type of guy it's just not going to happen because you're not going to get
00:55:29.780
the people who are on the left wing of the party on board same thing that happens if you pick some
00:55:33.820
you know moderate on the left you're never going to get someone on the other side
00:55:37.420
conservatives to go along with you have to get literally everybody so they have to try to find
00:55:42.160
that midpoint they this is what they did with paul ryan if you remember back in the day now paul ryan
00:55:47.740
his his sort of profile on the right has changed over the years like i like early early paul ryan is
00:55:55.160
like early radiohead you know i was i was a big fan you know i like the early radiohead stuff and
00:56:01.000
eventually they got weird and that's kind of like paul ryan like later on it got weird but like his
00:56:06.520
early stuff was great and he was still at that moment where he was seen as you know sort of you
00:56:12.660
know relatively conservative member even after running with romney and acceptable to a lot of
00:56:18.940
conservatives and then acceptable enough to moderates and so they went along with it and kind
00:56:23.780
of split the difference but that was a difficult process to find that person and i don't know that
00:56:27.920
that person exists now you know it's interesting that you bring up the conservatives who have sort of
00:56:33.840
drifted to the middle it never goes the other way it never goes like you know you're somewhat liberal
00:56:39.460
or maybe in the center but you go more conservative the longer you're in washington i can't think of a
00:56:45.380
single instance of that happening both in the supreme court and congress yeah that ever happened
00:56:51.800
the only one the only name that comes to mind and it doesn't hit either of your two categories there
00:56:56.260
but the only person who seems to get more conservative over time is clarence thomas
00:56:59.880
yes he's the one guy yes thank god protect put him in a hermetically sealed bubble and protect him
00:57:06.120
yes uh from from now until the end of time but like even like in the supreme court even scalia you
00:57:12.580
look at his voting record it even becomes slightly more liberal over time it does does happen a lot
00:57:18.200
bizarre it's the opposite of what happens with regular people too because regular people usually
00:57:22.540
start off liberal and get more conservative and then if you get elected it happens the opposite way
00:57:26.880
why is that washington just corrupts him 888-727-BECK or pat and stew for glenn coming up
00:57:37.280
it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn back program glenn's back tomorrow morning
00:57:48.120
uh joe biden just recently said uh that he has cancer wait what is this breaking news then or
00:58:01.360
here's uh the way he said it you had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick
00:58:08.720
off the window that's why i and so damn many other people i grew up have cancer and i can't for the
00:58:15.020
longest time delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation wait okay that's why you and so many
00:58:21.140
other damn people have cancer that's what he said but the excuse from the white house is no he doesn't
00:58:28.660
have cancer you're misrepresenting what he said no we are taking what he said at face value he used the
00:58:38.580
present tense that's why i and so many other damn people have cancer why are these people damned
00:58:47.660
do you know why that's unclear too that's unclear like everything else he's it is sad it is sad and
00:58:54.100
i'm not sure if he's damning them uh or if he has knowledge that they've been damned by a higher
00:59:00.180
authority that i i don't know well i don't know i will say i'm i i've come to the conclusion that joe biden
00:59:05.800
is occasionally imprecise in his speech what yeah when did that i mean kind of revelation yeah
00:59:14.500
i don't i mean i'm gonna just blurt that out i should have told people to pull over to the side
00:59:19.100
of the road yeah prepared for a real right because that's a shocker yeah shocker but that's true it's
00:59:24.380
like uh i mean that's what he said right that's what he said now they're saying what he said is that
00:59:30.120
he had cancer before he became president he had some skin cancer removed okay i'm sorry but that
00:59:38.340
is a total misrepresentation of what he actually said they continue to just look us in the face and
00:59:46.800
lie to us it really that part of this experience with biden as president really has the 1984 echoes
00:59:54.060
like they are really like they often try to convince you two plus two is five they often
01:00:00.260
almost every day yeah like corinne jean pierre will will just say the audio you heard was not real
01:00:09.240
didn't happen it didn't happen i've often said on my show they it's like they look at you in the eye
01:00:14.440
and say i am not here and you're supposed to believe him yeah no i'm i'm looking at you no you're not
01:00:22.480
i am not here well yes you are i can see you no i am not here that that's what they do every day
01:00:33.000
yeah every day biggest liars in the world but maybe that's why maybe this is the revelation of
01:00:41.000
why he's so hell-bent on curing cancer which he continually says if i'm elect the president you're
01:00:45.920
going to see the single most important thing that changes america is we're going to cure cancer okay
01:00:50.720
uh yeah a completely fraudulent promise about curing a disease and he's he's mentioned it
01:01:00.220
since multiple times multiple times just a few months ago he said it again that's why actually
01:01:04.380
pat i created the website has joe biden cured cancer.com you did create that website yes well
01:01:09.860
can you look it up now oh yeah and sure see if maybe he has cured cancer we just haven't heard
01:01:14.820
about it because he said the single okay i hadn't heard that clip in a while the single most
01:01:20.760
important change you're going to notice right is that we're going to cure cancer that would be a big
01:01:27.480
change that would be big yeah i will say like he has a lot of bad policies i don't think he's a good
01:01:32.240
president if he came out with a beaker and was like it's all cured there it is i think i might vote
01:01:38.540
for him you know i think that's the type of thing would my it's more important to me than even tax
01:01:44.620
policy pat yeah you know if he actually cured cancer himself that would be a big deal i would
01:01:51.420
say i would consider it that would be some brownie points in his favor yeah i guarantee you a lot of
01:01:56.360
people will be helped by that yeah but that's why i created has joe biden cured cancer but you know
01:02:02.700
what to use that as an excuse that he was saying skin nobody says i've had skin cancer you know i've
01:02:09.180
got this scar still here on my forehead to prove it glenn has had skin cancer you don't say i have
01:02:15.740
cancer if it was skin cancer and it's already been removed do you at least i certainly don't maybe he
01:02:22.100
does and does he is he saying he got skin cancer from what wait what was the from the oh yeah from
01:02:27.000
the oil from the oil the you had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick
01:02:32.600
off the window literally that's why i and so damn many other people i grew up have cancer so
01:02:37.360
wait i can't for the longest time that i had the highest cancer rate in the nation so cancer skin
01:02:43.540
cancer is caused by oil on windshields i think it comes from rays of the you know two million degree
01:02:49.500
burning orb in the sky really that some of us call the sun i think that's where skin cancer comes
01:02:55.640
from not from oil on your on your windshield wipers i don't think so no but i'm not a i'm not a physician
01:03:01.200
you know by the way i'm checking right now has joe biden cured cancer.com asks the question has
01:03:06.760
joe biden cured cancer sadly the answer no still still says no still no according to this site
01:03:13.220
that i created why don't you hit refresh because maybe that's a hold okay yeah and maybe that was
01:03:18.700
from your cash joe biden cured cancer no cancer still exists as of tuesday january 3rd 2023
01:03:25.260
now and it does have a exact to the second time so you can always keep refreshing it
01:03:30.440
and make sure at some point i do hope to change the site to yes well he he guaranteed it he promised
01:03:36.560
i know it's gonna happen we'll say yes he said it's the biggest thing before 2024 the biggest
01:03:40.500
difference we would notice yeah and i will notice it i will totally notice it we've had relatives with
01:03:46.260
cancer uh we've seen people suffer there's a lot going on in this country when it comes to cancer
01:03:51.800
it's one of the biggest uh health care costs in the united states if he if this dude cures it
01:03:57.680
even if they announce it on a friday i think people will notice yeah you know because they
01:04:02.820
save a lot of stuff they don't want people to know about for friday because it gets buried in the
01:04:07.440
weekend but even if they announced it on a friday i think i would still notice and most people would
01:04:14.420
still notice a fairly big story maybe he just cured oh yeah has joe biden cured cancer.com
01:04:21.260
no ah no cancer still exists darn this is the worst yeah you know you just want it to just
01:04:30.340
change one of these days just gonna flip to yes and it's gonna be a big maybe we'll put some confetti
01:04:34.620
on the site when it when it turns to yes how to really celebrate it and why would you make that
01:04:39.620
promise unless you had inside information maybe that we're on the verge there's going to be a
01:04:44.860
breakthrough in the next couple of years and you know that for a fact well maybe then i think it does
01:04:49.820
tell us two really interesting things one how dumb does this man think his voters are like he is
01:04:57.640
standing there saying he's going to cure cancer obviously he's doing that for votes this is before
01:05:05.080
the election i mean he continues to do it to prop himself up but like this was a he said it was the
01:05:10.280
most important thing that would change if he was elected right essentially like we did a um we did a
01:05:17.040
campaign and we've done it many times over the years a fake congressional campaign between two
01:05:22.080
candidates harold flimlasky and ernie velveeta and we don't really say what party they're on and it's
01:05:28.360
just a way to make fun of political ads as they're always accusing each other of terrible things and all
01:05:34.940
of that and one of the commercials is i think it's harold flimlasky who talks about how he's been
01:05:42.700
developing the cure for cancer and he's got it but he's only going to give it to you if he's elected
01:05:47.900
and like it's just a play on like how stupid these campaign commercials that's exactly what
01:05:53.880
biden did he he said we would only cure cancer if he was elected and not only do you have the first
01:06:01.920
part of this which is his voters idiotically falling for this and him believing they might fall
01:06:07.680
for it and being right but then also you have the media who doesn't take him to task for this
01:06:14.360
right how think of how he's playing on families who are struggling through the battle of cancer
01:06:22.780
and he's saying god just cast a vote for me and it will all go away all your problems will go away
01:06:30.360
if you vote for me and there's not one critical piece for the media who says what a disgusting display
01:06:37.140
right like what a disgusting thing to do if it were donald trump saying it
01:06:41.960
you think they would say oh good all right we're looking forward to that no they would bash him and
01:06:50.620
berate him for giving people false hope for making things up where's that coming from what are you
01:06:56.220
basing that on how is that gonna happen think of the emotional manipulation he is in the middle of
01:07:01.800
doing in that in that quote where he's yeah he's saying hey you know how your your grandma is on
01:07:06.880
the verge of death i can make that go away just vote for me that's legitimately what he's doing
01:07:12.260
and no one says anything it's it's like the 5 000th on the list of controversies from joe biden
01:07:18.840
no one even mentions it no one is critical of it it's disgusting i mean i we've all had family members
01:07:24.820
who have died of cancer or have been afflicted with it pat you know as you mentioned uh you wouldn't
01:07:30.880
describe yourself as currently having cancer but you've had to deal with this in the past
01:07:35.560
everybody's terrified i had a doctor's appointment um you know a couple months ago where they did like
01:07:41.460
a you know the the sort of checkup uh that you get i go through these extensive you know health
01:07:47.360
checkups every you know several years to hope hope i'm not developing something like cancer and they do
01:07:52.960
these scans of your the whole body scan and they're like you they sit you down and you're sitting
01:07:57.820
there don't say i have cancer don't say i have cancer don't say i have luckily they did not say i had
01:08:02.180
cancer i'm very excited about that but like even with no symptoms and no worry you're sitting there
01:08:08.140
worried about whether you could possibly you want to hear those words right and this guy's like i can
01:08:13.220
i can make that go away right he just uh all you gotta do pull that lever for the d's it's despicable
01:08:19.340
it is legitimately horrible to do to people and no one criticizes him for it triple eight seven two
01:08:25.580
seven beck glenn back join the conversation eight eight eight seven two seven beck
01:08:32.220
it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn back program glenn returns tomorrow triple eight seven
01:08:48.580
two seven beck the whole uh twitter censoring uh controversy and the whole situation with twitter
01:08:57.920
continues to uh reveal itself journalist matt taibbi is releasing uh just released over the weekend
01:09:06.680
another installment of twitter files that showed that the government the u.s government was in
01:09:12.880
constant contact with a large number of tech firms in their coordinated attack efforts uh to censor
01:09:20.460
specifically targeting accounts that were critical of ukraine or the covid vaccine so no matter how you feel
01:09:29.260
about the covid vaccine people should be able to discuss it totally right totally i mean if you can't
01:09:35.900
handle a little bit of discussion about it uh or even a lot of discussion about it then you know just
01:09:42.520
get off twitter then stop looking at it first of all you don't need the the the build up to that
01:09:49.280
statement just get off twitter is the best advice possible it really is but uh yeah twitter is agonizing
01:09:55.360
to me it's agonizing i know i i i do agree with you on this and i understand that it has its
01:10:00.420
but it does a lot to direct the um the media coverage in this country because all the journalists
01:10:09.100
are on it yep i mean i got that's the main piece of value with twitter yeah uh you know if you are on
01:10:15.060
twitter your your viewpoint might get to a journalist who writes it up in a big and it becomes essentially
01:10:22.040
the narrative and this is why they want to control it so badly i mean you know i've done this you go
01:10:27.480
through the numbers on twitter it's like almost no one uses it for political commentary like i i want
01:10:34.540
i should pull this up but it's something like only 20 of people are even on it at all and then uh when
01:10:41.260
it comes down to that 20 of americans yeah uh it's wow incredibly small that's incredible because it
01:10:48.800
feels like everybody's on it and everybody comments continuously continuously what it feels like and
01:10:56.020
look a lot of 20 of the country is still a massive chunk of the country a lot yeah but when you take
01:11:02.000
that you you also take out um people who are tweeting about recipes right like you know who
01:11:08.340
is tweeting most of the people by the way are like not even active users like a lot of them are not
01:11:12.840
tweeting routinely most of the people who are tweeting routinely are not even tweeting about
01:11:18.360
politics um and you go down and it's it's a tiny tiny tiny tiny piece of of the population
01:11:27.840
that is tweeting regularly about politics i i it's less than one percent i think wow that's really
01:11:36.480
something isn't it that are doing really something routinely like you know again people might pop
01:11:40.200
one political comment in their feed that's mostly about sports you know yeah but when you're talking
01:11:46.240
about people who do it consistently it's incredibly incredibly small i'll dig up the numbers here maybe in
01:11:54.620
the break but it's like it's almost nobody taibbi says uh the files show the fbi acting as a doorman
01:12:01.660
to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship encompassing agencies across the
01:12:08.680
federal government from the state department to the pentagon to the cia the operation is far bigger than
01:12:15.100
the reported 80 members of the foreign influence task force which also facilitates requests from a wide
01:12:22.420
array of smaller actors from local cops to media to state governments twitter had so much contact with so
01:12:29.220
many agencies that executives lost track uh is today the dod and tomorrow the fbi is is it the weekly call or
01:12:40.740
the monthly meeting it was dizzying how much contact they had uh between calls and meetings and messages
01:12:49.140
uh a chief end result uh a chief end result was that thousands of official reports flowed to twitter
01:12:55.700
from all over uh through the f itf and the fbi san francisco field office this kind of collusion
01:13:04.100
between the government and in a private company to squash the first amendment is really un-american
01:13:13.780
yeah it's it's against everything that we hold dear and value in this country but other than that but other
01:13:21.380
than that it's great it's great yeah at least musk has opened up uh the dark areas that deserve a little
01:13:31.620
sunshine that need to have you know some transparency at least he's done that i mean and that's of course why the
01:13:38.420
the left hates him so much right now uh more patents do for glenn coming up this is the glenn back
01:13:46.020
program yep here we are uh 888-727-BECK is the number to call uh in just a minute we're gonna give
01:13:53.220
you in last hour we had uh some important predictions from dmitry medvedev who used to be the president of
01:14:00.980
of uh russia sort of i mean he was the president but the president really made no decisions because
01:14:06.660
he had vladimir putin breathing down his neck behind him yeah because i mean i heard if he if
01:14:11.540
he started making his own decisions he might fall out a window yes that is very true you know that
01:14:15.540
happens to a lot of some reason you get really i don't dizzy it deep into thought and then you get
01:14:20.500
dizzy and then you fall out of the next thing you know you're following six stories out a window and
01:14:24.820
dying sad it's it's not good uh but we've got some nostradamus predictions so you know these are
01:14:30.980
gonna happen uh that's coming up in just a few minutes here uh we'll share with you what you can
01:14:36.420
look forward to or greatly fear this year because that's usually nostradamus's predictions are a little
01:14:46.180
bit scary uh we'll get into that and lots more coming up the radio program just a few seconds
01:15:19.620
what you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the
01:15:41.540
glenn back program pat and stew for glenn who returns tomorrow uh coming up last hour we had
01:15:50.500
uh dimitri medvedev's predictions but now somebody with a little more credibility perhaps in
01:15:57.300
in the prediction making world uh nostradamus's predictions for this year plus there are some
01:16:03.540
startups by billionaires that are seeking a cure for old age really kind of cool um
01:16:11.780
don't know how close they are to coming up with a cure for old age we'll get into that though and more
01:16:29.620
it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn back program triple eight seven two seven
01:16:33.300
b-e-c-k uh welcome in the uh very early stages of a brand new year happy new year
01:16:39.940
uh and so this is the time of year when all the predictions start to happen and so somebody went
01:16:46.980
through the quatrains of nostradamus to see what was perhaps uh coming our way this year
01:16:55.060
uh and how are these things performing by the way i feel like there's a quatch we do a quatrain
01:16:59.300
section uh of the show every year yeah and he predicts well he nails everything oh so it's been
01:17:05.700
a hundred percent it's been about a hundred percent ish about yeah but right around what
01:17:09.380
margin of error do you have built into that number plus or minus 89 okay 90 okay okay 95
01:17:15.940
somewhere in there i mean it's been a long time since he made them so i guess that's appropriate
01:17:19.300
obviously we all know about the hisler prediction which he got completely wrong because nobody named
01:17:31.540
moron can't i mean s and t are next to each other in the alphabet but but they don't look
01:17:36.580
like each other no they don't no they don't nor do they sound like each other they really don't
01:17:41.060
stupid one's s and one's t they don't sound alike at all but supposedly you know people give
01:17:48.340
him credit for the hitler thing they give him credit for uh predicting the great fire of london
01:17:53.940
a lot of people give him credit for 9 11 for the predicting 9 11 um so and i'm not really sure
01:18:01.860
what specific quatrain it was that predicted that that and that's the thing because people point to
01:18:07.300
certain things and then other people point to something else to prove the same prediction you
01:18:12.820
know so i i don't know but uh here's what's coming our way this year um oh he also apparently
01:18:20.420
predicted the french revolution says in this article um these were eerily accurate he successfully
01:18:29.380
predicted the assassination of john f kennedy hmm all right so none of these things have a specific
01:18:36.420
date but for some reason they all point to 2023 for these happening and uh the first among them
01:18:43.220
nostradamus predicted that humanity may face the threat of cannibalism due to a failing economy
01:18:50.740
writing there are no abbots monks no novices to teach honey will cost much more than candle wax
01:18:59.140
what yeah i mean i'm gonna hate a minute how much are you paying for candle wax right gosh about
01:19:04.500
147 a jug and that's too much and that's too much but if honey is going to be even more
01:19:11.460
right i will say um it's it's interesting how things change i don't think i would ever
01:19:16.980
that's like the one that the dollars to donuts thing uh betcha dollars to donuts
01:19:22.260
and it's like like i think at one point like you got i guess donuts were so much less expensive
01:19:28.980
than dollars yeah that it made sense but now like i think donuts are probably more than a dollar right
01:19:37.300
yeah depending on where you buy them i suppose they are i mean i guess you're buying them maybe
01:19:40.660
by the dozen no but if you go buy one donut at dunkin donuts probably over a buck at this point right
01:19:45.220
well this place right over here that you go to sometimes yeah for donuts uh that's very near us
01:19:51.140
for 18 donuts no for 12 donuts it's about 18 bucks oh really yeah so they're more than a dollar a
01:19:58.020
piece that's amazing yeah that's a lot dollars for donuts cliche has been destroyed it was destroyed
01:20:05.300
right there just like the candle wax and honey right cliche that everyone says every year so okay
01:20:10.420
here's the prediction there are no abbots monks no novices to teach honey will cost much more than
01:20:15.380
candle wax the price of wheat will be high man will be agitated and eat his friend in despair
01:20:25.380
because if you're paying more for honey than you do for candle wax of course you're going to turn
01:20:29.780
to cannibalism that just makes sense that just makes total sense well if you're going to put honey
01:20:35.460
on something it might as well be another human being yes right if you can afford the honey yeah me
01:20:40.740
i'm going to put candle wax on you before i eat you really yeah probably it's good i don't know
01:20:45.780
if that would taste very good it's like that uh cheese that comes in candle wax you know the red
01:20:49.380
cheese oh the red circle cheese you know what i'm talking about no cheese wheels actually i don't
01:20:53.940
think so what are they called i can't think of what they're called they're like it's a soft cheese
01:20:57.620
with candle bell yeah yeah and well it's not made of candle wax but there's like a red candle wax
01:21:03.540
coating and you peel it away and then you eat the cheese inside right you know what i'm talking about
01:21:06.740
yes i do so that's what he did he predicted those clearly predict that he nailed another
01:21:12.180
thing there's another thing another one uh the great war of 2023 one line in his book stands out
01:21:18.260
in particular and it reads seven months of great war people die because of evil but their light will
01:21:24.500
not fall into the hands of the king put that in your pipe and smoke so what are we supposed to take
01:21:31.860
that's supposed to be about ukraine and russia i guess but it's already gone more than seven months so i
01:21:36.580
don't know this is but this is what people do they jam these predictions into certain things and just
01:21:41.780
say yep he was right about that again well no because that doesn't really fit this is something
01:21:47.700
that this is a good example of of our prior beliefs infecting like what what we think like if you're if
01:21:53.860
your belief is that nostradamus is predicting the future you find a way to figure out that nostradamus is
01:22:00.980
predicting the future you right you read in the current events you jam them into his former
01:22:06.500
statements and you just say that's what it is yes and there's a lot of that going i mean like
01:22:10.820
the media is famous with this like if you believe republicans are racist then every time they make
01:22:15.460
a decision it will be based on racism remember the famous thing from barack obama uh that the word
01:22:21.540
chicago was racist the word apartments was racist yeah he was so like in his world view everyone who wants
01:22:29.460
lower taxes is racist so therefore the reason those people want lower taxes is racism and it's like
01:22:37.460
well you can't operate a civilization if that's all what people all people are doing and it's constant
01:22:43.620
especially with the media they just like they have this belief system that you know donald trump is evil
01:22:50.100
right so everything is seen through the prism of donald trump is evil so when he does something good
01:22:56.260
it's because he's got some nefarious uh you know idea behind it the the this happened with the i love
01:23:03.060
this this happened with the tax relief uh release his tax records that came out over vacation of trump's
01:23:09.860
yeah trump's yeah tax records were released now first of all and it was a nothing burger it was
01:23:14.500
absolutely nothing it was all stuff that people already knew or suspected you know it was
01:23:19.940
just typical um media i will say unbelievable that just like their their justification for
01:23:28.020
releasing these tax records was like we really don't like them and uh we think people should know
01:23:33.780
well it's a private document there's if you have a legal reason to release it maybe you can make a
01:23:39.380
justification they were just like yeah we could do it we had the power to do it and we wanted to do it
01:23:44.180
so we did it that was really all they came up with on this one that's a whole another part of this
01:23:48.660
but one of the things uh they talked about when you go through uh all the tax records uh was
01:23:55.620
the accusation going in when they wrote the initial stories they said these tax records are about to come
01:24:00.980
out why is it important well we want to see if the tax bill he passed benefited him maybe he was just
01:24:08.500
doing this for his own benefit he did these things to pass these these tax clauses that would support his
01:24:16.180
company benefit him and he'd pocket the cash and and that's why that's the that was their justification
01:24:23.460
right we want to know we need to know so then they released the records the first story that comes out
01:24:29.140
about it is donald trump what an idiot his tax bill actually screwed him over because of the salt
01:24:37.140
deductions he actually lost a ton of money what a moron and that's how they framed it instead of saying
01:24:42.820
wow our expectation of him passing a law that would benefit him was misguided we were wrong about
01:24:50.660
that our justification for announcing the all these records was wrong and we look we were incorrect and
01:24:57.620
we should examine why we thought that no they just flipped the narrative and now said instead of him
01:25:03.300
being so smart and nefarious he passed a law to benefit himself they said he's so dumb he passed a
01:25:09.780
law that hurt himself and that's how that's how they wrote it up yeah it's incredible and they do
01:25:15.300
this stuff all the time this is a good example of it though i think the same type of stuff happens
01:25:20.180
with these predictions this is like well we believe they're true so therefore they're true well he nailed
01:25:25.060
this one okay the most recent world event that people have claimed is linked to his book was the
01:25:30.340
passing of queen elizabeth ii in september following her death that's a hell of a prediction get this
01:25:35.300
because they disapproved of his divorce a man who later they considered unworthy the people will
01:25:43.780
force out the king of the islands a man will replace him who never expected to be king that's not
01:25:52.100
that doesn't have anything to do with queen elizabeth no as far as i can see they said king
01:25:56.820
not yes right uh also okay and how much how how much like nostradamus do you need to be to predict
01:26:03.780
the death of someone in their 90s it's not exactly but it was 500 years prior to her uh birth it's
01:26:11.220
true but it wasn't a there wasn't a year attached to this no anyone who dies that's right any king or
01:26:16.900
queen who dies that's right you're gonna be able to fit this into so he essentially predicted that
01:26:23.940
somewhere along the way in the line of royalty somebody would get divorced and the people would
01:26:29.460
disapprove of that okay he didn't say it was charles he didn't say any of that no uh but they later will
01:26:37.540
consider him unworthy so what people are reading into this is that king charles will step down this
01:26:42.580
year and appoint not uh not uh william but harry as king somehow help the netflix series i suppose but i
01:26:53.860
don't know that's right but yeah i i don't think it is then uh but there's not a second segment you
01:27:00.260
ever notice this with the nostradamus thing there you at the beginning of the year you get the
01:27:03.780
predictions yeah and there's nobody follows up the year hey what did we get wrong last year let's look
01:27:08.980
back on those wonderful quatrains and find out what what he got and what he didn't get
01:27:13.860
uh he's predicted an off-planet disaster for elon musk hmm what okay uh he wrote heavenly fire when
01:27:26.100
the lights of mars go out period the end that's all the that's all the references that's all that's
01:27:34.660
the only thing to do with elon i don't know i don't know because he deals with space i guess i think we're
01:27:41.220
reaching here again yeah they're just trying to find a way uh dry land will get drier and a forecast
01:27:47.700
of floods the earth may suffer another climate disaster in 2023 i guarantee we'll have another
01:27:52.340
climate disaster uh there will be a hurricane or a tornado or a typhoon or an earthquake of course
01:28:00.180
that's going to happen because it always does uh but he said the dry land will dry up even more
01:28:07.540
and there will be great floods when you see the rainbow wait what all right deep deep too deep to
01:28:16.900
even understand as a matter of fact more coming up in one minute pat and stew here for glenn he'll be
01:28:23.540
back tomorrow earlier in the show we were talking about tomorrow hamlin who uh collapsed during the
01:28:30.580
football game last night had cardiac arrest after making a tackle it wasn't a particularly
01:28:36.660
you know heavy collision hit yeah yeah it wasn't vicious at all very normal yeah but he he went down
01:28:44.260
and his heart had stopped and they got it going again with cpr and apparently he's stable right now
01:28:50.340
but critical but critical yeah um something we didn't mention was his charitable work i mean the kid's
01:28:57.220
really young but he's already started these charity products uh projects and one of them was a toy drive
01:29:03.460
for kids yeah and it was interesting to see the reaction as as all this went down the the fans uh
01:29:09.140
you know in the in the stands who obviously like you have a battle with the opposing team these are
01:29:15.380
two of the top teams in the nfl fans were awesome last night i thought like they were like really
01:29:20.180
respectful and like you know many of them stayed for a long time just to try to get some bit of news
01:29:26.100
about the incident and it was it was really i thought that was really cool and he did this
01:29:31.300
you know he's a new player i think this is his second year in the league uh and so he wasn't
01:29:37.780
particularly well known he was not like an nfl star uh so he had a charity that he uh was working on
01:29:44.340
which is a toy drive that he started i guess before he was even an nfl player and it started going
01:29:52.020
viral now after this is after the incident so the initial goal for his fundraising was
01:30:00.100
twenty five hundred dollars just to give toys to kids which is like you know again like a modest
01:30:05.540
goal yeah you know it's interesting you think about these guys who obviously you think about
01:30:09.300
the star player you think about the guy making twenty thirty million dollars a year there's a lot
01:30:12.420
of people who have a career that's one or two years long where they make a few hundred thousand dollars
01:30:17.700
a year and and are out of the league some people play partial seasons and like you know hundreds of
01:30:24.820
thousands of dollars a year a lot of money but when your max career length is 10 years and probable
01:30:30.980
the average career length is only a couple years you know that's not you know you're not living the
01:30:34.740
high life for your whole life i have a friend who played uh in in the major leagues and he was in
01:30:38.820
the major leagues for a couple years and he made great money while he was in the major leagues but
01:30:43.460
like you know you're when you're done you're in your mid-20s and you know you're not the wealthiest
01:30:48.900
person in the world you might have a good savings for someone in their mid-20s but then you got to
01:30:53.220
figure out a whole new thing to do anyway i thought it was cool that he was just doing this you don't
01:30:57.060
realize that some of these people are doing these great community efforts and you know you never get
01:31:01.940
any credit for it so he had he wanted to raise twenty five hundred dollars and uh he he it's not even
01:31:08.580
really clear how recent this fundraiser was put up it says it references in the write-up
01:31:15.220
um he says as i embark on my journey to the nfl i will never forget where i came from and i'm
01:31:19.860
committed to using my platform to positively in fact impact the community that raised me
01:31:24.260
i created the chasing ems foundation as a vehicle that will allow me to deliver that impact and the
01:31:29.780
first program is the 2020 community toy drive and it talks about like you know being hit hard by the
01:31:36.020
pandemic these communities so it's like not even like a new thing but i guess it was still going
01:31:39.700
on it was had something to do with christmas so this even this year's had passed but he's trying
01:31:44.260
to raise twenty five hundred dollars and before i guess this incident he had raised the twenty five
01:31:48.020
hundred i think he was up to almost five thousand dollars on this he's since the incident been able
01:31:54.100
to raise more money uh the current total of the chasing em's foundation community toy drive
01:31:59.700
three million eight hundred and fifty six thousand seven hundred and forty dollars wow
01:32:05.300
one hundred and forty six thousand donations have poured in since this went on and what's really
01:32:10.500
cool is you look at the comments because you can put the little comments in the go fund me page
01:32:14.820
so that's just like basically overnight yeah raised four million dollars four million what that's
01:32:21.060
impressive that's amazing and it's cool obviously you see that shows there's still good people in the
01:32:24.980
world yeah you know it was a nice it was a really tough thing for everybody to watch last night but
01:32:28.820
you do like to see the reactions like this and what was cool is going through the comments on go
01:32:32.980
fund me where obviously there's a lot of bills fans and a lot of bangles fans uh the opposing team from
01:32:38.740
last night who are donating i saw a bunch of people who were like you know our fantasy football winnings
01:32:44.660
for the year donating all that which was really cool yeah but like you also see you know comments from
01:32:50.980
all around the country 49ers fan uh many thoughts and prayers from a 49ers fan in california
01:32:55.940
broncos country sending our prayers and love and you know this one you know how impactful this guy
01:33:01.940
was sending positive thoughts from philly oh now as an eagles fan i could tell you that's not normal
01:33:08.020
sending positive thoughts to anyone not normal they're the people who booed santa claus after all
01:33:15.940
but you know like ravens fans like everybody from around the country like it's nice to see that
01:33:21.860
community break out even though it sucks that has to be something so awful to to make that happen but
01:33:28.900
the fact that now this guy is raised four million dollars we hope he pulls through this and can you
01:33:33.540
know uh but at least at the very least there'll be some good that comes out of this probably more
01:33:39.140
charitable dollars than he ever thought he could possibly raise in one night so yeah again you you wish
01:33:46.820
it didn't happen but you know it's nice to see america there are those people out there i feel like
01:33:51.540
because all we do is look at twitter because we look at the media because we look at all these negative
01:33:56.740
divisive conversations all the time we we do lose sight that people actually don't entirely suck
01:34:03.780
at least some some people don't some people a few people don't entirely suck
01:34:09.460
triple eight seven two seven b-e-c-k more coming up
01:34:24.420
it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn back program triple eight seven two seven b-e-c-k
01:34:30.100
you start your uh new year with a great box of cookies uh from kexy cookie that's a
01:34:37.220
company my wife and i started uh with our son sean and uh we brought back some huge favorites
01:34:45.300
by popular demand like you've ever tried the uh the hot chocolate cookie i don't think i've had that
01:34:49.540
one so really good yeah so so good they're all good there's a uh black forest one there's um we we
01:34:56.900
brought back all your favorites and you can go to kexy.com k-e-k-s-i.com check that out use the
01:35:03.140
the promo code the jeffy and get 18 off your order now for those you know who may be new to the show
01:35:12.020
that's uh 18 because that's the only number jeffy knows 18 18 18 uh all right what would be your
01:35:24.100
outlook for the year would you say that you're optimistic about what's going on uh what's going
01:35:28.900
to happen this year or are you pessimistic that would that would not be smart to be optimistic
01:35:34.500
it's just not smart yeah based on everything we've seen so far it does feel like we are
01:35:39.460
we've been in a dark time for a long time doesn't it you know i i can't remember when we all started
01:35:44.180
saying like oh gosh thank god this year's over yeah it feels like i don't know 2015-ish
01:35:50.740
like i feel like in that area i remember thinking like oh gosh thank god this year's over
01:35:54.900
and then you realize that the next year is even worse and it just continues yeah seemingly forever
01:35:59.460
again that's nothing it's not a not like a political thing it just seemed like there's
01:36:02.980
always something going on that was like a catastrophe and then of course i don't know
01:36:07.060
that anything beats 2020 where you've basically such a crazy society shuts down for multiple months
01:36:13.780
yes um well because we're coming off several challenging years uh they just did a uh i think
01:36:21.380
this is a gallup poll of americans to find out if they're optimistic or pessimistic about the coming
01:36:27.220
year and apparently about eight in ten u.s adults which would be 80 percent think 2023 will be a year
01:36:36.180
of economic difficulty with higher rather than lower taxes and a growing rather than shrinking budget
01:36:42.900
deficit well how could you be anything but pessimistic all about those two things i mean the budget
01:36:49.300
deficit thing is just a matter of whether you have ever watched politics yeah in any way if you
01:36:54.180
know anything about the budget uh which we don't have we don't have a budget right so you know it's
01:36:59.860
going to be bad uh we haven't had a budget passed since 2008 or 2009 incredible it's just unbelievable
01:37:09.780
so you just got these continuing resolutions which continue to make things worse uh they also found
01:37:15.060
that more than six in ten of us sixty percent think prices will rise at a high rate and the stock
01:37:20.580
market will fall in the year ahead uh both of which happened in 2022 in addition just over half of
01:37:28.580
americans predict that unemployment will increase in 2023 an economic problem the u.s was spared in 2022
01:37:34.980
uh on the domestic front 90 percent of americans expect 2023 will be a year of political conflict
01:37:42.660
in the u.s no wait a minute call it conflict in politics i can't imagine coming from jeez 72 percent
01:37:51.860
think the crime rate will raise uh or rise some of this stuff is like you know this is all we are just a
01:37:59.860
pessimistic society too right like we've we if you ask people what has happened in the crime rate over
01:38:06.020
the past you know 20 years almost everybody says it goes it's up right when you come to uh violent
01:38:12.260
deaths by shooting for example everyone thinks it's up it's not it's down it's down dramatically
01:38:16.740
now it's increased the last couple of years since since the pandemic really we've had increases in
01:38:21.540
those numbers and sometimes scary increases but that has not been the trend for a long period of time
01:38:27.140
poverty is even more overwhelming than that when you look at poverty you ask people hey has poverty
01:38:33.940
gone up or down in your lifetime and i mean it's like 90 of people say it's gone up and it's gone
01:38:39.140
down by oh yeah a lot i can't remember the exact numbers i i can pull it up but it's it's something
01:38:44.580
like global poverty is dropped by something like 80 or 90 in our lifetime i mean it's really the the
01:38:51.700
greatest achievement of modern civilization and no one ever talks about it no one ever
01:38:56.980
acknowledges the fact that when we were kids you know five six seven eight times as many people
01:39:04.900
were just dying of starvation as they are today and that's due to the proliferation of capitalism yep
01:39:11.700
of the free market worldwide that's why people have been brought out of poverty in a limited way
01:39:17.780
too i mean really it is spread you know we when we were you know you go back decades you have
01:39:25.060
you have a rise of communism right the exact opposite you have a lot of countries who have you know
01:39:30.660
monarchies and and dictatorships and all these things a lot of that's gone away capitalism has has
01:39:37.140
popped into even countries like china that still have a dictatorship yes but they've got they're still
01:39:41.540
communist right communist capitalist hybrid which because of that even just that which is you know
01:39:48.820
they're limiting more and more these days but even just that has helped so many people come out of
01:39:53.220
poverty and india is even a better example of it i mean india who has embraced capitalism more than
01:39:58.660
let's say a china but still has a similar sized population it's had an incredible benefit from that and and
01:40:06.100
has dragged billions of people out of poverty this something like 17 000 people every day children
01:40:15.860
17 000 children every day that used to die of starvation when i was a kid every day 17 000 every
01:40:22.580
day now don't die it's amazing that's it it's really amazing think about that we don't stop and think about
01:40:29.460
that no nearly enough no it's really the the biggest miracle really any of us have ever
01:40:36.020
seen instead what we worry about now is you're going to get too fat from too much food right
01:40:41.700
so and what it's pretty amazing like that's kind of like i thought of this before like
01:40:46.580
the ultimate goal of a civilization obviously you have spiritual goals you have personal goals you
01:40:51.620
have moral goals but taking that out out for a second what is the pragmatic goal of a civilization
01:41:00.820
if you can come up with a way where you can put up enough structure around you things like capitalism
01:41:10.100
things like science right making it uh making it you know maybe you learn something about your health
01:41:16.180
what you should be eating or a new medicine comes out or new treatment or whatever else all those things
01:41:21.460
work together and ideally you get to a point where the only way you die is if you treat yourself
01:41:28.180
terribly you know what i mean like you no longer are going to die because you just get cancer out of
01:41:34.580
nowhere for no reason you're no longer going to die because you know you were you just got
01:41:40.180
a hereditary heart condition that you dropped dead from one day you're no longer going to die because
01:41:45.700
a pandemic comes out and wipes out civilization you're you're not going to die for a car accident
01:41:52.020
because the cars are so safe no long that no longer occurs you have to just be completely
01:41:57.940
irresponsible and essentially choose to die and that is a that's like the peak of human civilization
01:42:04.180
if we ever get there and i think we may actually at some point that's like the end game right like
01:42:13.220
you'd love to get to that point yes and obviously maybe even beyond that is even when you do screw up
01:42:18.660
you still don't die but like you have to be so irrational and erratic and and unsafe that you
01:42:24.820
don't die and i know they're working on this right now they're trying to get to a point where
01:42:29.060
one of the things we've all accepted as human beings since the beginning of time is eventually
01:42:33.220
you die of old age and what is old age but essentially a guaranteed disease
01:42:40.740
basically eventually your cells stop working your organs stop working
01:42:44.180
the things that you've depended on your entire life no longer go work the same way
01:42:50.420
and there are a bunch of you know scientists and futurists who believe that we should start
01:42:55.540
thinking of old age as a curable condition well that's a big story today it's one of the headline
01:43:01.380
stories on drudge um that there are billionaires who are seeking a cure for old age right now uh
01:43:08.660
the like people like jeff bezos are working on this yeah trying to find a way to stop people
01:43:14.580
from aging it's pretty amazing it really is amazing and they they have hope that it actually
01:43:18.660
will happen yeah and i don't know that you'll stop it forever i don't know like you know they're just
01:43:23.220
trying to elongate our lives yeah and you go back like people will say sometimes i because i've talked
01:43:28.420
about this and people are like well you know what you know you look at the bible right and the bible's
01:43:33.460
like hey uh you're gonna die someday and so humans are not going to be able to completely end that
01:43:38.500
and i think that's true however you also look at the bible and you see people are living like 900
01:43:42.420
years old right like i don't know maybe there is maybe maybe there is a path to this some way to do
01:43:48.260
that but apparently they're looking at in fact they're looking at a drug that already exists
01:43:56.100
and treats diabetes it's called metformin you ever heard of that no it they're they're looking at
01:44:03.620
whether or not that can extend your lifespan by multiple years because apparently in the uk they've
01:44:09.860
been studying that if regulators approve metformin to target aging uh some people believe that large
01:44:18.340
pharmaceutical companies and biotechs would jump into the longevity field and make this a field where
01:44:25.220
they can actually make money on and would they ever if they come up with a way to extend your life
01:44:31.940
who wouldn't do that yeah i i mean i think one of the ways we we cope with bad things right is to
01:44:40.660
essentially assume they're normal parts of life right like we you know we look at like a a disease and
01:44:48.420
we're like gosh they got that and like you instead of saying you know thinking okay it's it's something
01:44:54.260
that can be cured or something we can get you done we kind of like you're like ah crap that you know
01:44:58.660
that stuff just happens the common cold is a good example of it like we've sort of given and i i know
01:45:03.300
scientists have been given up on trying to cure the common cold but we all just look at it like look
01:45:06.580
at some points you're just gonna get sick and like we all know that's not necessarily true because
01:45:11.940
you know polio we for a long time that's what you said you said well sometimes you just get polio
01:45:17.620
and then you didn't get polio anymore and so these things are possible you know right now there's a big
01:45:23.540
explosion of weight loss drugs right now that are coming out um and they're uh showing incredible
01:45:30.500
results you know you take these and within you know a few months you lose between the first two that
01:45:36.340
came out uh the first one that's on the market right now is 15 of your body weight there's another
01:45:41.300
one that's out that showed 22 there's another one that showed something like 20 in just like 14 weeks
01:45:47.220
and like we all sort of like i think say it's part of life sometimes you get fat you eat a bunch of
01:45:55.140
stuff you get fat right and we haven't really considered the fact that at some point maybe in
01:46:00.820
the very near future that won't really be the case anymore now one of the main reasons these things work
01:46:06.980
is because they're they're curbing your appetite and you're not wanting to eat as many calories and
01:46:11.140
that's part of the reason you're losing weight but like you know eventually there could be a we could
01:46:16.660
these things could advance and you could get to a point where you could be on kexi cookies all day
01:46:21.700
you're just pounding them for every meal and are you alleging there's calories in kexi cookies maybe a
01:46:27.620
few and when i say a few i mean a few sticks of butter per cookie yeah yeah but like eventually
01:46:34.340
we could get to that point where that you know that sort of uh stuff can happen where it just melts
01:46:39.940
fat away yeah somehow and like yeah the third i think it's the second or third largest health
01:46:44.420
care costs we have in this country is diabetes as uh wilford brimley used to say yeah and if you
01:46:50.660
have a weight loss drug that can control people's weights it's likely to affect the percentage of
01:46:56.020
diabetes in this country and at that point you may very well see a massive reduction in health care
01:47:03.380
costs that could be right around the corner i mean like the one of these is on the market currently
01:47:08.900
they just they they just 60 minutes ran a report on it this weekend uh it's called we go v but they
01:47:15.300
they just i saw that just just this week announced they finally have it back at like full dosage for
01:47:21.860
people to start because it had been on the market for a while but they didn't they had all sorts of
01:47:25.780
supply issues i think they this is the drug if i'm not mistaken that they expect to become the biggest
01:47:30.740
seller of all time biggest seller because it's so successful so far at at uh helping people lose weight
01:47:36.900
yep and there's another one uh that one is novo nordisk it's a company in uh in norway i think
01:47:44.260
um but they uh they are on the market already there's another one from eli lily called munjaro
01:47:50.980
which is now available for people who have diabetes uh however uh it is going to be on the market for
01:47:57.540
weight loss probably later this year under probably another brand name um but like this stuff's here it's
01:48:02.900
like here now yeah and you know obviously some people don't like the idea of a weight loss drug
01:48:08.100
it's been sort of uh you know diet pills have been sort of uh you know shunned as negatives ever since
01:48:14.580
fen fen fen fen and and previous things before this one killed like zero almost nobody yeah and they
01:48:21.860
pulled it off the market anyway but these are much more effective than those old drugs this is also
01:48:26.740
it's an injection currently but i think they're working on a pill version as well amazing incredible
01:48:31.140
