Transcript

00:00:00.000 We've got no room to compromise
00:00:22.100 We've got to stand together
00:00:26.200 It's the chorus of lies
00:00:30.000 Stand up straight and hold the line
00:00:33.600 It's a new day, I'm time to rise
00:00:39.500 What you are about to hear
00:00:43.900 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:00:47.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:51.800 Stand up!
00:00:54.060 It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program today.
00:00:57.700 Hey, well, we have new economic news.
00:01:00.800 Bidonomics in effect working one more time for the American people.
00:01:06.340 We'll get into the details of that coming up in just a second.
00:01:09.300 Hey, have you fed your dog yet today?
00:01:15.800 Yeah?
00:01:16.440 And how'd your dog like it?
00:01:18.700 If they liked it, how much nutritional good do you think it's doing them?
00:01:23.700 If it's kibble food, the unfortunate answer is probably not all that much.
00:01:29.160 Just like your body, your dog's body is instinctively searching for things that will make them healthier and happier.
00:01:37.000 So the question is, since you're the owner, what can you do to make it better?
00:01:41.360 Well, the answer you're looking for, the answer I found with my dog and Glenn found with his dog, is rough greens.
00:01:47.420 Glenn's dog wouldn't eat, really.
00:01:52.000 Didn't really enjoy food until he started sprinkling rough greens on top of it.
00:01:58.000 My dog wouldn't eat her food after we started rough greens without the rough greens being on top.
00:02:03.420 It's not a dog food.
00:02:04.440 It's a dog food supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black.
00:02:09.480 You just sprinkle on your dog's food.
00:02:11.540 Ground food is dead food.
00:02:12.900 You want the greens.
00:02:14.000 You name it.
00:02:15.380 If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens.
00:02:19.020 Now, rough greens is so confident that your dog is going to love it.
00:02:22.480 They have a special deal for you.
00:02:24.100 Go to roughgreens.com slash back or call 833-GLEN-33.
00:02:30.300 And they're going to give you your first trial bag free.
00:02:34.040 That's right.
00:02:34.940 Free.
00:02:35.300 All you have to do is pay the shipping or call 833-GLEN-33.
00:02:40.600 That's 833-GLEN-33.
00:02:42.600 833-GLEN-33.
00:02:43.380 Give them a call today.
00:02:44.340 Shipping is free.
00:02:46.740 Actually, that's all you pay is the shipping.
00:02:49.580 The bag is free.
00:02:52.200 Welcome.
00:02:54.900 That's an important clarification there.
00:02:56.480 I just inverted it, which kind of defeated the whole purpose.
00:02:59.420 Something's free.
00:03:00.340 Just remember that.
00:03:03.560 Welcome, Pat.
00:03:04.620 Thank you.
00:03:05.400 Good to be here.
00:03:06.140 Good to see you.
00:03:07.120 I hope you're, I mean, obviously you're in a mode of celebration.
00:03:10.520 Oh, obviously.
00:03:11.220 Because Bidenomics is here.
00:03:13.140 And working so tremendously well.
00:03:15.860 Isn't it?
00:03:16.500 It is.
00:03:17.160 Yeah.
00:03:17.540 I mean, what do you want from this man?
00:03:19.300 What does he have to do for you to finally understand how good he's been as president of the United States?
00:03:27.300 Yeah.
00:03:28.060 You know, sometimes your opponent gives you a gift.
00:03:32.240 Let me give you an example of this.
00:03:33.620 Closing moments of the Super Bowl.
00:03:36.960 New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks.
00:03:39.400 Mm-hmm.
00:03:40.740 Marshawn Lynch, the running back for the Seattle Seahawks at the time.
00:03:44.440 One of the best short yardage running backs in the NFL.
00:03:47.040 Mm-hmm.
00:03:47.900 The Seahawks are on the one yard line at the end of the Super Bowl.
00:03:50.660 Should be able to get a yard.
00:03:51.720 Get a yard, right?
00:03:52.520 You got multiple chances at it.
00:03:54.260 Yeah.
00:03:54.420 You got to give it a shot.
00:03:55.640 Well, we'll never know.
00:03:56.540 Instead, they decide to throw a pass.
00:03:58.460 Russell Wilson throws an interception.
00:03:59.860 They lose the Super Bowl.
00:04:00.620 Yep.
00:04:01.300 Right?
00:04:01.780 Mm-hmm.
00:04:02.720 This is the level of gift we have been given by Joe Biden when he himself decided to coin his economic record as Bidenomics.
00:04:15.160 Right?
00:04:15.760 Like, it wasn't us doing it to him.
00:04:18.120 Like, Obamacare, we did to the other side.
00:04:21.800 We said, this is called Obamacare.
00:04:23.740 They said, no, it's the, what was it?
00:04:25.300 Affordable Care Act.
00:04:26.240 Affordable Care Act.
00:04:27.540 Mm-hmm.
00:04:28.140 And we said, no, it's Obamacare.
00:04:30.620 And that led to the largest landslide election in our history, in 100 years, at least, at the time.
00:04:38.260 In 2010, if I'm thinking back correctly, the Tea Party wave.
00:04:42.400 Mm-hmm.
00:04:42.760 Right?
00:04:43.160 Mm-hmm.
00:04:43.800 Obamacare was a big part of that.
00:04:46.060 That it was, you know, this really unpopular program was kind of stuck on him.
00:04:50.080 Right.
00:04:50.400 Now, of course, once it became a giveaway, it's now sort of reversed in its popularity, and it's not nearly as negative as it was back then in polling.
00:04:59.820 That's because it's almost a giveaway.
00:05:03.100 It's like a handout.
00:05:03.900 That's what it always happens.
00:05:04.440 And once you start doing handouts, people become addicted to it.
00:05:08.660 Social Security, for instance, which isn't a handout because you pay into it your whole life.
00:05:12.420 Yes.
00:05:13.080 Yeah.
00:05:13.320 I mean, there's asterisk all over that statement, but I do.
00:05:15.460 Yes.
00:05:15.700 I know what you're saying.
00:05:16.600 Yes.
00:05:16.900 But it's when you start a welfare program or a program that gives people great deals.
00:05:23.660 You're never going to be able to take it back.
00:05:25.200 Yeah.
00:05:25.360 Well, it's free stuff.
00:05:26.720 Yeah.
00:05:27.120 You know, and that is something that always invades.
00:05:31.000 This is why we fought so hard against it back in 2009 and 2010.
00:05:35.760 And honestly, all the way up until 2017, 18, because that was when, you know, of course, President Trump ran on repealing it.
00:05:44.960 They weren't able to get that across the finish line, unfortunately.
00:05:48.880 And now we're sort of stuck with it.
00:05:50.640 And, of course, now people have factored it into their lives, right?
00:05:53.760 They've made it part of their budgets.
00:05:56.320 They've made it part of their lives.
00:05:58.340 Now, this is totally not what I planned on talking about here, but a new chart just came out about health care costs.
00:06:06.620 And remember all the talk about bending the cost curve?
00:06:10.200 Do you remember this conversation?
00:06:11.480 Yeah, and it was going to lower the payments per family $2,500 a year.
00:06:16.400 $2,500 a year.
00:06:18.820 And, of course, that didn't happen.
00:06:20.060 It didn't go down $2,500 a year.
00:06:21.600 But their argument was, well, no, what we mean is it's $2,500 less than it would have been, right?
00:06:26.680 Less than the cost curve, right?
00:06:28.660 Oh, my gosh.
00:06:29.080 Eventually, you'll see that.
00:06:30.260 And they went on and on and on about that, trying to make you believe it.
00:06:33.620 And, of course, the media, at every step of the way, told you you should believe it.
00:06:41.040 But here now we have the results.
00:06:43.640 In 2008, the average U.S. family health insurance premium was $13,000.
00:06:50.640 In 2010, it was $14,000.
00:06:53.880 So it was going up $1,000 or about $500 a year in that stretch.
00:06:59.300 Then Obamacare came in.
00:07:01.220 We were told it was going to be $2,500 less.
00:07:04.280 In 2010, it was $14,000.
00:07:06.180 2012, $16,000.
00:07:07.780 2014, $17,000.
00:07:09.380 2016, $18,000.
00:07:11.020 2016, excuse me, $18,000.
00:07:13.820 2018, $20,000.
00:07:15.720 2020, $21,000.
00:07:17.600 2022, $22,000.
00:07:19.200 It's now double almost.
00:07:22.040 It's about 60% higher than it was when Obamacare passed.
00:07:25.720 My gosh.
00:07:26.300 It has gone up and up and up and up and up and up.
00:07:29.680 And if you look at the chart, you could see that the years previous going up at a pretty steep increase.
00:07:37.420 And then after Obamacare, what you see is it going up at almost exactly the same level of increase.
00:07:42.540 Maybe a little more.
00:07:44.940 This is a failure.
00:07:46.000 But it was something that we tried to pin on Obama, right?
00:07:50.000 Intentionally.
00:07:50.600 We said it at the time.
00:07:51.460 Like, we want people to remember this was this guy doing this to us.
00:07:57.360 Right.
00:07:57.880 Similarly, if we were strategizing about the 2024 election, we might say to each other, hey, I want people to remember this is Joe Biden's plan for our country.
00:08:11.240 Our economic future is locked up in, let's come up with a term for it, Bidenomics.
00:08:17.020 That is absolutely something that could have happened.
00:08:21.580 However, it is not what happened.
00:08:23.880 What happened was Joe Biden, who is obviously either completely senile or a moron, decided to take...
00:08:30.720 It's both.
00:08:31.260 He's both.
00:08:31.700 Both.
00:08:32.060 Okay, thank you for clarifying that.
00:08:34.120 Decided to take credit for this.
00:08:36.920 He was like, when you think about what's happening to you in this economy, think about me.
00:08:42.220 It's Bidenomics.
00:08:43.700 I did this to you.
00:08:45.840 I mean, it is one of the biggest gifts in history, in the history of politics.
00:08:54.000 We've never seen anything like this.
00:08:55.960 No one takes responsibility for their failures.
00:08:58.520 That's the opposite of what you're supposed to do in politics.
00:09:01.240 And yet they lie so much, they make it seem like it's a huge success.
00:09:06.940 He'll often stop in the middle of a speech about the things he's accomplished.
00:09:13.220 And he'll say, they gave me the name Bidenomics for my plan.
00:09:20.000 They didn't mean it as a compliment.
00:09:22.960 But guess what?
00:09:25.360 It's working.
00:09:27.100 I mean, how many times has he done that?
00:09:28.560 He's done that line over and over and over and over again.
00:09:32.280 Wait, it's working?
00:09:34.540 I'm glad.
00:09:35.200 This is them taking responsibility.
00:09:36.540 He's also, and this is a very common trait from Joe Biden, when he wants to name himself
00:09:42.860 something, he acts as if other people have named him that thing.
00:09:46.920 Middle class Joe.
00:09:47.420 Middle class Joe.
00:09:48.120 Lunchbox Joe.
00:09:49.760 Oh, people always call me middle.
00:09:51.540 This is back when he had some energy.
00:09:53.000 People always call me middle class Joe.
00:09:56.660 They didn't mean it as a compliment.
00:10:01.480 But I took it as one.
00:10:03.720 And nobody ever called him middle class Joe.
00:10:05.760 Except him.
00:10:07.240 There was literally mainstream media stories talking about how no one had ever called him
00:10:13.780 middle class Joe publicly until he called himself middle class Joe publicly.
00:10:18.420 Yep.
00:10:18.880 No one.
00:10:19.700 It had never occurred.
00:10:21.040 No one would ever call him that.
00:10:23.440 It's a stupid nickname.
00:10:24.620 But he wanted you to think he's middle class.
00:10:27.280 He wanted you to think he's blue collar.
00:10:28.900 He wanted you to think, oh, he's just a union guy, happened to get this job as president
00:10:32.980 of the United States.
00:10:33.940 Yep.
00:10:34.280 And the same thing happens here.
00:10:36.060 No one called it Bidenomics.
00:10:37.440 He said, you know what?
00:10:38.380 We should own this.
00:10:39.260 And there were some left wing economists were saying, maybe we're looking at this economy
00:10:43.000 wrong.
00:10:43.460 And things are actually more positive.
00:10:45.940 A lot of that's gone away now.
00:10:47.680 But he jumped on the fray at that, into the fray at that time and decided to just embrace
00:10:52.340 it.
00:10:52.740 And now it's burning him.
00:10:54.020 I mean, look at the polls on it.
00:10:55.260 You know, Donald Trump leads Joe Biden on this issue by more than 20 points.
00:11:01.540 And this is just one of the things.
00:11:04.680 It's not nearly as bad as the border stuff, which is even worse for Biden.
00:11:09.900 But it is, you know, something where he's failed over and over and over again.
00:11:15.640 Yeah.
00:11:16.200 Sorry.
00:11:16.340 Did you just say the border has failed?
00:11:18.800 Apparently, you've not listened to people like Alejandro Mayorkas.
00:11:22.560 The border is secure.
00:11:25.720 Okay.
00:11:26.020 Did you not hear that?
00:11:26.900 Oh, my gosh.
00:11:27.260 No.
00:11:27.400 You know what?
00:11:27.660 I did miss that.
00:11:28.360 Okay.
00:11:28.680 Because I happened to see thousands of people just yesterday streaming across the border.
00:11:35.660 We actually have a look at that, I think.
00:11:38.040 So, if you're watching on Blaze TV, here's how that looks.
00:11:42.880 It's wondrous.
00:11:44.260 Did they just put Taylor Swift tickets on sale?
00:11:46.200 No.
00:11:46.900 No.
00:11:47.560 That's people, thousands of them just rushing our border.
00:11:51.300 Look at that.
00:11:53.120 That was in El Paso last night.
00:11:55.960 It's incredible.
00:11:56.920 And, Pat, honestly...
00:11:58.980 That's outrageous.
00:12:00.580 All right.
00:12:01.660 Wow.
00:12:02.140 If I told you, if you squinted a little bit, because some of the details are a little different,
00:12:06.480 but if you squinted a little bit and I said, hey, that's the Ukraine-Poland border a year
00:12:11.220 and a half ago, would you be surprised?
00:12:14.200 No.
00:12:14.400 The only thing about it is the Poland situation was more organized.
00:12:17.720 Like, that is...
00:12:20.020 It's a catastrophe.
00:12:22.020 Yeah.
00:12:22.140 It's impossible to describe how bad this has been on the border.
00:12:26.460 And that's not even...
00:12:27.200 Mm-hmm.
00:12:27.700 That's just another one of the problems.
00:12:29.200 The border, interestingly, Pat, gives him worse polling results than even, like, the Afghanistan withdrawal,
00:12:36.340 which is a known catastrophe.
00:12:39.380 Jeez.
00:12:39.960 Right?
00:12:40.420 Yes.
00:12:40.660 So, this has been an ongoing disaster from the day he walked into office until today.
00:12:45.620 They have nothing...
00:12:46.740 They have seemingly no ability to do anything.
00:12:48.520 And the one step where you might say, okay, well, maybe, look, we're taking a step in the
00:12:53.820 right direction, at least.
00:12:55.500 They're going to build 20 miles of wall.
00:12:57.640 That's great.
00:12:58.240 I don't believe that he cares about the border, but, okay, maybe, maybe, I don't know, maybe
00:13:03.340 he's trying to change his ways.
00:13:04.460 Nope.
00:13:05.040 He wants you to know he had nothing to do with it.
00:13:06.840 He wants you to know that actually walls don't work.
00:13:09.220 He wants you to know that he was forced into doing this by Congress, even though Mayorkas,
00:13:14.580 his own guy, is saying there's an acute need for this at the border.
00:13:19.940 And all of this adds up to a complete failure of a presidency.
00:13:24.180 Yep.
00:13:24.420 If this election is about Joe Biden, I don't think there's any way he can win it.
00:13:30.320 The only way he can win it is to make it about something else.
00:13:34.060 Obviously, their target right now is to make it about Donald Trump getting arrested a million
00:13:38.240 times.
00:13:39.240 You know, again, will that work?
00:13:40.460 I don't know.
00:13:40.960 They've tried these things before, and they don't seem...
00:13:42.820 And they've missed before with these predictions.
00:13:45.560 But we did get the new unemployment rate, the new unemployment report today, Pat.
00:13:50.500 And it's so bizarre.
00:13:52.780 We're in such a weird time.
00:13:54.360 We added way more jobs than was expected.
00:13:57.240 336,000 jobs added in September.
00:14:00.880 This is above the prediction of 170,000.
00:14:07.280 So, I mean, almost double what they were expecting, economists were expecting.
00:14:11.920 Now, they consistently miss on these predictions, so we shouldn't be too shocked by that.
00:14:15.860 But again, it just shows that their efforts behind the scenes to try to raise rates to
00:14:19.920 calm the economy, calm the process of all this hiring and wages going up and all these
00:14:24.720 things aren't working.
00:14:27.140 Their efforts to stop the negative effects that they created by spending trillions of
00:14:32.380 dollars and trying to fight inflation, it's not working very well.
00:14:38.040 And if you really look at the details of the report, you get a different picture.
00:14:41.880 Because you could say, oh, wow, 336,000 jobs.
00:14:44.380 This sounds pretty good.
00:14:46.020 Right?
00:14:46.300 Like, I mean, I hate to say that a bunch of new people getting jobs is a bad thing.
00:14:51.700 I mean, I'm rooting for people to get jobs if they want them.
00:14:54.620 That's great.
00:14:55.100 But when you look at the details of the report, the huge job number was powered by the sectors
00:15:00.820 we've been used to seeing outperform in recent months.
00:15:04.700 This is from the New York Times.
00:15:06.000 So, this is what's fueled it.
00:15:07.460 This is what we've seen outperform in recent months.
00:15:10.900 Leisure and hospitality added 96,000 jobs, led by employment in bars and restaurants.
00:15:17.700 Now, look, we've all had jobs.
00:15:19.900 Most of us, Pat Gray being a radio star at like 14 years old might be the exception.
00:15:23.920 But generally speaking, we've all had jobs doing leisure and hospitality work.
00:15:29.640 It's good, honest work.
00:15:30.780 There's nothing wrong with it.
00:15:31.780 And I have no doubt in my mind that people are drinking a lot more under Joe Biden.
00:15:36.080 So, bars, I can see why you'd need a lot of employees at bars.
00:15:39.060 Yes.
00:15:39.340 But this is not an economy.
00:15:41.380 This is not our pushing into the future of the economy.
00:15:44.520 Right?
00:15:45.040 Yeah.
00:15:45.260 And then secondarily, it's government hiring up 73,000 of these jobs.
00:15:50.940 Oh, wow.
00:15:51.500 73,000 of them.
00:15:53.160 Big government.
00:15:54.560 Those two categories just by themselves are the entire overperformance in the job market.
00:15:59.880 So, I don't know.
00:16:00.440 Is this as positive as people are trying to make it out to be?
00:16:02.380 I would argue no.
00:16:03.380 I would argue no.
00:16:04.180 All right.

00:17:32.040 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
00:17:42.340 888-727-BECK.
00:17:45.540 The amazing jobs report.
00:17:47.480 What was it?
00:17:47.960 360,000 new jobs added in September, I think it was.
00:17:51.300 366.
00:17:52.420 366.
00:17:53.020 Even better than I thought.
00:17:55.320 And yet, it's not good for interest rates and all that.
00:18:00.900 The Fed is saying now, oh, we need to cool down this economy a little bit, so we need
00:18:05.540 to raise rates again.
00:18:07.540 Weird.
00:18:08.200 It's kind of a weird situation to me.
00:18:09.960 Yeah, it is.
00:18:11.180 And the fact that they admit that, wait, the economy's too good.
00:18:14.760 Too many people are working.
00:18:15.940 Now, of course, does anyone actually believe that?
00:18:18.120 I mean, no one believes that the economy is too good right now.
00:18:21.240 No, that's not something that people actually think.
00:18:23.300 Well, it's on fire and we need to cool it down.
00:18:25.200 Yeah.
00:18:25.540 No, I mean, look, the problem is not that it's too good, it's that it's too bad when
00:18:29.960 it comes to inflation.
00:18:31.460 Now, when you have an economy that has high inflation, you're going to get, you know,
00:18:37.840 you're going to get wages going up.
00:18:39.080 Now, the problem is they're not going up as fast as inflation.
00:18:42.120 So, that's a problem, right?
00:18:43.980 That's not good for you.
00:18:45.100 Hey, my pay is going up, my hourly pay is going up, but at the same time, the price
00:18:52.260 of eggs and milk and bread and housing and new cars and all the things that make up inflation
00:18:57.600 are going up faster.
00:18:59.740 So, that doesn't make people feel good.
00:19:01.900 They still remember the days back in 2019 when things were sanely priced.
00:19:07.300 This may surprise you, but at the cookie company that I own, we use a lot of those products.
00:19:13.060 Really?
00:19:13.340 Like butter.
00:19:13.900 You put butter in Kexi cookies?
00:19:16.020 We put butter in them.
00:19:17.200 Yeah.
00:19:17.520 Really?
00:19:17.960 I never detected the slightest hint of butter.
00:19:20.460 I know, right?
00:19:21.080 I mean, they weigh four pounds each, but I had never.
00:19:23.880 There's also some sugar, you know?
00:19:26.060 Really?
00:19:26.640 Yeah.
00:19:27.120 Yeah.
00:19:27.640 Wow.
00:19:28.260 I would have never guessed.
00:19:29.480 I thought it was all vitamins inside.
00:19:31.500 I know, a lot of people think that.
00:19:33.340 How do you make these vitamins taste so good?
00:19:35.640 Yeah.
00:19:36.020 Yeah, it's weird.
00:19:36.420 And that's the key, apparently, sugar and butter.
00:19:37.880 We cover them up in butter and sugar.
00:19:40.360 And you can obtain those by going to Kexi.com, K-E-K-S-I.com.
00:19:46.080 You should.
00:19:46.400 Try them out.
00:19:46.900 They're delicious.
00:19:47.520 Really delicious.
00:19:48.800 But the thing is, it is staggering how much all of these goods and services have gone up.
00:19:57.740 I mean, butter is through the roof.
00:19:59.200 Sugar is through the...
00:20:00.060 Flour.
00:20:01.140 Yeah.
00:20:01.320 You think, why is flour going?
00:20:03.720 Well, I think that's partly Ukraine for one thing, but it's other factors as well.
00:20:08.520 And it's Biden's screw-ups that are causing the prices of food to skyrocket.
00:20:14.560 And, you know, they claim it's 7% or whatever.
00:20:17.280 It's way more than that.
00:20:19.400 It's been compounded yearly now.
00:20:22.760 And so, from the time that he took office until now, I don't even know what the markup is, but it's huge.
00:20:29.280 Yeah.
00:20:29.560 It's huge.
00:20:30.140 We should go over that a little bit more because this is something that the left loves to do.
00:20:34.180 It's like, inflation's going down.
00:20:35.360 What's your freaking problem, peasants?
00:20:37.020 Right.
00:20:37.280 Like, what do you mean?
00:20:38.640 That's not how this works.
00:20:40.000 No.
00:20:40.400 I mean, look, it's better than it going up.
00:20:42.460 Yeah.
00:20:42.960 When it's not 9%, it's better if it's 4%.
00:20:47.100 Yeah.
00:20:47.640 But the 4% is still an increase.
00:20:50.280 Yes.
00:20:50.720 And it's an increase over previous increases.
00:20:53.420 We should go through this a little bit because this is something the media tries to...
00:20:57.140 Oh, over and over and over.
00:20:58.260 ...manipulate you with.
00:20:59.100 Mm-hmm.
00:20:59.540 They keep telling you, why are you complaining?
00:21:01.480 Do you believe these people?
00:21:02.980 They just keep complaining about the economy.
00:21:05.300 They don't understand that inflation is going down.
00:21:09.500 And, well, you know what?
00:21:11.300 Actually, the people understand a hell of a lot better than these economists in this situation.
00:21:14.740 They're the ones having to deal with this on a daily basis, not the people, you know, at, you know, Harvard who are giving us these reports telling us how wonderful things are.
00:21:23.480 Actual people have to live actual lives buying actual things.
00:21:27.780 And that's where the impact is felt.
00:21:31.040 So we'll get into that here in a second.
00:21:32.340 It's 888-727-BECK.
00:21:34.760 888-727-BECK.

00:22:55.360 More Glenn Beck next.
00:23:07.000 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
00:23:09.980 So, Stu, what do you make of the Speaker of the House situation?
00:23:13.700 Are you excited that Donald Trump has said he'd do it temporarily?
00:23:16.380 For 30, 60, or 90 days, if necessary?
00:23:20.680 30, 60, or 90.
00:23:22.020 30?
00:23:22.480 Up to 90.
00:23:23.220 Up to 90 days.
00:23:24.560 I mean, I think as a host of a conservative talk show, we are legally required to discuss Donald Trump as a House Speaker.
00:23:33.840 Like, whether he wants it or not, we have to always, it always has to be brought up and then we always have to talk about it.
00:23:39.680 And every other time it's been brought up, it seemed like such a ridiculous suggestion.
00:23:44.600 You know, look, Donald Trump is a lot of things.
00:23:46.600 A process guy.
00:23:48.220 He's not.
00:23:48.660 He is not.
00:23:49.320 This is not his specialty.
00:23:50.420 You know, he's just not the guy.
00:23:53.220 He doesn't, he doesn't bother with all of these little details of how these laws are made and pushed through.
00:23:58.840 It's just not what he does.
00:23:59.960 He's got people who will do that.
00:24:00.340 Yeah, exactly.
00:24:01.040 It's not his thing.
00:24:02.160 Yeah.
00:24:02.360 He's a much more of a big picture guy, as we all know.
00:24:04.780 Um, but of course he is, on the other hand, somebody who does seem to turn the Republican Party from a bunch of different factions into one, one opinion with his.
00:24:19.700 And they all seem to listen to him.
00:24:21.420 They all seem to be scared of him.
00:24:23.540 Um, you know, that's just the way it is.
00:24:25.960 So in a way, the Speaker really needs to have that.
00:24:29.420 You need to have someone who feels like you're going to have consequences if you screw up.
00:24:34.180 And I think Donald Trump would certainly bring that to the table.
00:24:36.840 I think you could argue, well, why would he want to do this?
00:24:40.900 What is the.
00:24:41.820 Yeah, he's got a lot of irons in the fire right now.
00:24:44.160 Yeah, he's got a lot going on.
00:24:45.380 Yeah.
00:24:46.140 So although I did think of this.
00:24:47.960 Correct me if I'm wrong on this, Pat, if you see this differently.
00:24:50.840 But in a way, it's almost a really inexpensive campaign.
00:24:56.840 He'd be on TV all the time.
00:24:59.840 Yeah.
00:24:59.980 He'd be in the middle of every news story, even more than he is now.
00:25:04.180 And he wouldn't have to go to all these states.
00:25:07.120 He wouldn't have to do all this travel.
00:25:08.200 He wouldn't have to spend all this money.
00:25:10.040 He'd kind of just be able to sit back and they have to cover everything that he's doing.
00:25:14.400 And so I can see it from that perspective.
00:25:16.360 It's like an interesting thing.
00:25:18.220 Obviously, could it go badly?
00:25:19.380 Sure.
00:25:20.080 But, you know, he has a way of talking his way out of that stuff.
00:25:23.460 You know, it would be the coolest part of it, though, is if he were the Speaker of the House during the State of the Union address by Joe Biden.
00:25:31.040 So he's seated directly behind Biden during Biden's speech to the nation.
00:25:37.740 Yeah.
00:25:38.300 Oh, that would be fun.
00:25:39.740 I didn't think of that.
00:25:41.100 How much fun would that be?
00:25:44.220 Oh, the faces he'd make.
00:25:47.280 He'd bring props.
00:25:48.580 Yeah.
00:25:48.720 I mean, that would be, I will say, he should do it at least for that week.
00:25:52.940 Yes, he should.
00:25:53.800 Yes, he should.
00:25:54.500 Just for that.
00:25:55.440 I will say that would be amazing.
00:25:57.280 They should carve that out.
00:25:58.520 No matter what, he's the Speaker of the House that week.
00:26:01.960 I like that.
00:26:03.920 Like, if you have a Speaker, like, let's say, I don't know, Jim Jordan gets it, or Steve Scalise gets it.
00:26:09.940 They should, because what they do when they become Speaker of the House is they submit a list of people that they would want to be Speaker if something happens to them.
00:26:19.760 If they're incapacitated in some way, you need a temporary person.
00:26:22.560 That's why, what is it, McHenry is currently the Speaker, or the interim Speaker.
00:26:27.480 He was the secretive Speaker pro tem.
00:26:30.680 Right.
00:26:30.880 So, they don't tell anybody who that is, but there's a list of people, hey, go to this person first, go to this person after this.
00:26:35.660 And so, he's the guy that's up there now.
00:26:37.560 But, if you were to put Donald Trump at the top of that list, and then, just like the Speaker of the House takes a vacation, like, you know, Scalise or whatever, just goes overseas for the day.
00:26:51.520 Oh, we need a backup.
00:26:52.700 Who is it?
00:26:53.740 First name, Donald Trump.
00:26:55.140 Come on in for the speech.
00:26:56.360 That would be hilarious.
00:26:57.540 So great.
00:26:58.200 Actually, what they should do is put Taylor Swift back there.
00:27:00.260 That everyone would watch.
00:27:03.700 That's the play.
00:27:04.780 She's too busy screwing up the NFL, though.
00:27:06.820 Yes.
00:27:07.180 Yeah.
00:27:07.460 She screwed up politics already.
00:27:09.040 Uh-huh.
00:27:10.160 I mean, look, I know people have different opinions than this.
00:27:13.020 She screwed up music before that.
00:27:14.740 I'm not a huge fan.
00:27:16.360 But that's me.
00:27:17.600 Right.
00:27:17.860 She looks like a cat.
00:27:18.800 We've discussed that earlier this week.
00:27:21.420 Again, no knock on her.
00:27:23.440 I mean, a lot of people think cats are attractive.
00:27:25.100 There's adorable cats.
00:27:26.320 Adorable cats.
00:27:26.860 Adorable.
00:27:27.100 People have posters of cats hanging in their house.
00:27:28.840 It's not a knock.
00:27:29.540 It's just, you know, she's, you know, 78% feline.
00:27:32.760 It's not really.
00:27:34.320 I mean, you could do it with a DNA test or we could just look.
00:27:36.780 The bottom line is, you know, that's just my opinion of her.
00:27:40.680 But if you put her behind there, then no one would pay attention to anything Biden said,
00:27:44.000 which also might be the case if Trump was back there, which might not be the best thing.
00:27:49.580 Because as we were talking about with the economy, it's good when people are talking about Joe Biden.
00:27:55.060 Yes.
00:27:55.400 That is good.
00:27:56.500 Yes.
00:27:56.780 It's bad when people are talking about anything other than Joe Biden because Joe Biden has been a catastrophe.
00:28:02.280 We were talking about this before, Pat, on the economy.
00:28:06.100 And we were going to talk about inflation a little bit more.
00:28:08.440 And there's a story that came out in the, I think it was the Wall Street Journal earlier this week.
00:28:15.120 Let's see if I can find it real quick.
00:28:16.180 But they were talking about inflation.
00:28:18.600 And like, it shouldn't be that big of a situation to understand.
00:28:24.640 But the media has done such a good job at hiding why this is bad.
00:28:32.220 Yeah.
00:28:32.820 Everyone understands prices going up are bad.
00:28:35.200 But what people don't understand in the media is essentially there's a view by economists that you can just have this inflation go up by a lower percentage from year to year.
00:28:49.100 And people should turn around and be happy.
00:28:51.320 Hey, this is getting under control.
00:28:53.100 It's coming down.
00:28:54.120 That's good.
00:28:54.720 And it is better than the worst.
00:28:57.160 But that is Joe Biden's argument on so many topics.
00:29:00.680 Yeah.
00:29:00.880 Hey, we're better than the worst you've ever seen.
00:29:04.160 And by the way, we're also responsible for the worst you've ever seen.
00:29:07.400 Yes.
00:29:07.600 And that's not a good argument.
00:29:08.900 Gas prices.
00:29:09.700 Another example of that.
00:29:10.640 The border.
00:29:11.280 Another example of that.
00:29:12.440 Mm-hmm.
00:29:13.140 Except that they don't even have that on the border because it's worse.
00:29:16.800 Last month was, I believe, the worst on record.
00:29:19.160 Yeah.
00:29:19.300 But in six months from now, there's a good chance it comes down by 10% and then they're on there bragging about it again.
00:29:25.020 Yeah.
00:29:25.320 Right?
00:29:25.520 Like, this is what they do all the time.
00:29:28.560 The headline from the Wall Street Journal, why consumers are mad about inflation even though it has fallen.
00:29:33.500 And it's true because people don't realize that, or the media is at least assuming that the average person doesn't realize how this statistic works.
00:29:45.480 So, like, if you start out with something that costs $100 and you have a year where it goes up, all sorts of concerns, it goes up 30%.
00:29:52.900 So, whatever you were buying before, this basket of stuff, is now 100, goes from $100 to $130.
00:29:58.860 And you freak out, right?
00:30:00.540 $130 for this crap?
00:30:01.920 I was buying this for $100 just last year.
00:30:04.300 Mm-hmm.
00:30:04.840 Normal thing for people to do.
00:30:07.040 Prices are going way up.
00:30:08.560 $130 for the same thing I spent $100 on before.
00:30:11.160 I'm very angry about that, right?
00:30:12.800 Mm-hmm.
00:30:13.020 And then next year, let's say inflation only goes from 30% down to 10%.
00:30:17.340 Okay.
00:30:18.920 Well, what does that mean?
00:30:19.500 That means that it doesn't go down to $110, right?
00:30:25.060 It goes to $143.
00:30:28.300 So, now you're spending $143 on the same thing that you remember spending $100 on.
00:30:33.920 And they're telling you, well, it's gone down from 30% to 10%.
00:30:37.520 How are you not happy, you peasant?
00:30:40.700 It's like, well, we're not happy because we were mad at $130.
00:30:44.320 And now it's $143.
00:30:45.340 We're even more mad at $143.
00:30:46.420 And then it goes down, you know, the next year, it goes, oh, well, now it's only 5% inflation.
00:30:51.220 Well, now I'm paying $150 for the same thing that I paid $100 for.
00:30:56.260 And that is why they can't turn this narrative around.
00:31:00.060 What you would want is prices to go down.
00:31:04.420 If they started approaching $110, right?
00:31:07.940 If they were at $110, $115, people might say, well, I paid $130 last year.
00:31:12.040 Now I'm paying $115.
00:31:13.060 Sure, it's still higher than the $100 we started with, but it's not that bad.
00:31:17.760 You would get that reaction.
00:31:18.960 You kind of got that reaction with gas prices.
00:31:21.360 Because gas prices did follow that narrative.
00:31:23.240 It went up to $5, came down to $4, and everyone's like, hallelujah.
00:31:27.320 You're like, well, wait a minute.
00:31:28.100 You're paying $190 when Trump left office.
00:31:30.580 But now in this situation, it's, of course, creeping back up to $4.
00:31:36.860 I mean, it's, I don't know what the average national price is.
00:31:40.060 I don't know if you know off the top of your head, but it's $4 here in Texas.
00:31:44.700 It's $7 plus in Gavin Newsom's California, which he blames only partially on himself,
00:31:53.100 which I guess is the new way we excuse things.
00:31:56.780 Ah, it's only partially my fault.
00:31:58.500 I, it used to be that people would say, it's actually not my fault.
00:32:02.500 It's, here are the reasons.
00:32:03.600 He's just like, well, I mean, sure, two thirds of it are my fault, but the other third isn't me.
00:32:08.660 Whatever.
00:32:09.340 But, you know, prices are really, really high.
00:32:13.100 Once again, when it comes to gas, prices have been going up.
00:32:16.740 And now we're starting to see the other side of this, where prices get so high and rates are so high,
00:32:21.580 you're going to, you're looking at what could be a housing crash or a housing crisis.
00:32:28.960 And I was talking to a friend of mine who's a real estate agent the other day.
00:32:31.820 And he said, he works in a, you know, a nice town in Texas.
00:32:36.240 And they have, it's a place where people want to move.
00:32:39.420 And he said a year ago, they sold 22 houses in this town.
00:32:43.100 22 houses in a month.
00:32:45.160 Two months ago, they sold 12.
00:32:49.800 One month ago, they sold nine.
00:32:52.900 And last month, they sold three.
00:32:55.460 So year to year is 22 to three.
00:32:59.240 Wow.
00:33:00.000 That's a big slowdown.
00:33:01.300 Yeah, that's bad.
00:33:02.060 And you look at the details of this.
00:33:05.640 How could you move?
00:33:07.340 If you bought a house in a period before, let's say, 2021.
00:33:11.100 You're looking at yourself, unless you absolutely have to move, you're saying, I have this mortgage
00:33:16.720 rate set where it is at 3% or something.
00:33:19.440 If I move, I'm going to be paying 7%.
00:33:21.700 So I can move for the same price in half the house.
00:33:27.580 Why would I do that?
00:33:29.620 I'm going to stay here and guard this mortgage as if it's one of my children.
00:33:34.120 I will never let it go.
00:33:36.220 I will never move.
00:33:37.420 I will stay here forever.
00:33:40.240 And then you have a situation where on the other side, people are saying, well, this house
00:33:46.660 price is maybe okay.
00:33:49.060 But when you factor in the interest rate, the payment's so high, it seems way out of my
00:33:53.720 price range.
00:33:54.620 So I don't want to do anything.
00:33:56.040 And so both neither side of the transaction wants to actually move forward.
00:34:00.420 That seems to be a problem.
00:34:02.260 It is a problem.
00:34:03.160 And what do they want to do after today's report?
00:34:04.680 Raise rates.
00:34:05.780 Yep.
00:34:06.220 Exactly right.
00:34:07.160 That's going to be great.
00:34:08.160 Exactly right.
00:34:08.680 What could possibly go wrong, Pat?
00:34:10.480 And according to this, the average price of gas in the U.S. from U.S. retail gas price
00:34:18.620 is currently at $3.96.
00:34:21.400 $3.96.
00:34:22.680 That's down from $4 last week, supposedly, but up from $3.77 a year ago.
00:34:29.300 And just to give you a sense of what that means, I'm looking at the chart going back
00:34:33.020 to 1992.
00:34:34.720 It's basically the highest it has ever been, with the exception of the blip in 2022, the
00:34:43.800 summer of 22, where it hit $4.96.
00:34:46.160 That little mountain is the only thing standing above where we are right at this second.
00:34:50.560 My gosh.
00:34:51.040 And that's not a story that the media is covering.
00:34:53.700 No.
00:34:53.920 They're not saying, oh my gosh, the prices are so high.
00:34:56.660 Nope.
00:34:56.880 They're still talking about how they're lower than the one-month period or two-month period
00:35:01.260 back last summer when it was even higher.
00:35:04.460 But if you're a presidential candidate and your argument to people is, hey, remember we
00:35:11.420 did a really terrible job before and prices went really out of control.
00:35:14.900 Well, since then, it's slightly better, but still tied for the worst of all time from before
00:35:21.560 I went into office.
00:35:22.960 Like, that's not an argument you want to make.
00:35:24.960 Doesn't seem like it.
00:35:26.320 You'd kind of run from that one, right?
00:35:28.320 You don't put that one on your resume.
00:35:29.740 No.
00:35:30.120 Yet, it's one of the lead arguments for Bidenomics.
00:35:33.660 It's incredible.
00:35:34.960 All right.

00:36:53.660 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.
00:37:03.100 Wow.
00:37:04.740 We're just trying to figure out the situation with the weird flip-flopping Democrats.
00:37:11.020 Of course, Republicans have done their share of flip-flopping as well.
00:37:13.880 But it's really amazing when you sit back and watch the positions of Democrats today, who we were just talking about the fact that Harry Reid used to be a big hawk on the border.
00:37:27.940 Yeah.
00:37:28.180 Was really pissed off that illegals were flowing across the border back in the 90s and even into the early 2000s.
00:37:35.680 And then, of course, he and his whole party completely changed.
00:37:40.640 Switched.
00:37:41.300 On a dime.
00:37:41.840 They don't care about the border at all anymore.
00:37:44.180 No.
00:37:44.480 It's fine when millions cross the border illegally every year.
00:37:47.340 Yeah.
00:37:47.500 Their justification back then was labor related.
00:37:50.240 They were protecting unions, essentially.
00:37:52.720 Yes.
00:37:52.940 Because that was the thing that mattered that day.
00:37:55.680 And then, all of a sudden, it was, well, we can't be mean to people who look differently or whatever their justification is for letting people flow across the border.
00:38:05.820 Right.
00:38:06.280 Sanctuary city, sanctuary city, sanctuary city.
00:38:08.600 Mm-hmm.
00:38:09.020 And so, they all changed.
00:38:10.580 They thought that was going to increase their power base because they figured all these people are going to vote for them now.
00:38:14.880 Yep.
00:38:15.220 Because they're friendly to them.
00:38:16.200 Mm-hmm.
00:38:17.260 And even maybe a weirder situation is the Warhawk deal.
00:38:22.420 Oh, my gosh.
00:38:23.300 That is so weird.
00:38:23.580 When did Democrats become Warhawks?
00:38:25.420 Yeah.
00:38:25.820 That is really bizarre.
00:38:28.000 Our entire lives, it's been the opposite, where they all said every war they came up with that was debated, they would always be-
00:38:36.040 They were opposed to it.
00:38:36.880 Yeah.
00:38:37.120 You know, sometimes they'd eventually, like, they voted for the Iraq War.
00:38:40.180 Yeah.
00:38:40.280 But they always, they turned on it quickly.
00:38:42.160 Yep.
00:38:42.300 They acted as if things were happening there that weren't.
00:38:45.240 They said-
00:38:45.780 They didn't want to be reminded that they voted for the Iraq War.
00:38:48.620 No.
00:38:49.000 No, they ran from it like crazy.
00:38:50.740 Yes.
00:38:51.440 And now they are, like, I mean, and it's not just the politicians.
00:38:55.040 This is what's so bizarre about it.
00:38:57.120 You look at, like, the polling on this, the people who approve the funding for Ukraine,
00:39:03.860 it's like, it's Democrats or something like 70% approval.
00:39:06.520 It's bizarre.
00:39:07.520 And it's like, wait a minute, what?
00:39:09.360 Why?
00:39:10.380 Wait, I remember, you know, go back to the Reagan era, if you want.
00:39:14.560 I remember the conservatives being the ones that were against Russia, the Soviet Union at the time.
00:39:20.560 Left-wing senators were visiting them.
00:39:22.860 Yeah.
00:39:23.320 Yes.
00:39:23.900 I mean, this was, they were vacationing there.
00:39:26.400 Bernie Sanders did his honeymoon.
00:39:27.980 Honeymoon.
00:39:28.420 In the Soviet Union.
00:39:29.580 And now it's like, oh, we have to fund the Ukraine war.
00:39:33.960 It's the most important thing ever.
00:39:35.720 And it's like, how does this happen?
00:39:38.060 You realize when you really think about it, that they in Washington are not like us.
00:39:43.640 Like, I feel like we make decisions and we stick with them unless there's new evidence that changes our mind.
00:39:49.340 Right?
00:39:49.580 Like, that's how you're, I thought that's how you're supposed to operate.
00:39:52.200 For them, it just seems to be, well, what's in front of me at this moment?
00:39:54.920 Exactly.
00:39:55.360 What did Trump say?
00:39:56.140 Oh, let's do the opposite.
00:39:57.660 Like, that is seemingly how all decisions are made these days.
00:40:00.740 That's how deep it is.
00:40:01.920 Democrat Senator, in fact, Michael Bennett of Colorado has said he'll force a government shutdown to secure more Ukraine aid.
00:40:10.040 I mean, that's how bad it is.
00:40:11.460 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:40:25.240 We've got no room to compromise.
00:40:40.280 We've got to stand together.
00:40:42.360 It's the chorus of life.
00:40:46.480 Stand up straight and hold the line.
00:40:49.720 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:41:03.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:06.580 Today, featuring Pat and Stu.
00:41:11.700 You know, sometimes I wonder, is it just me?
00:41:14.320 Am I the only one that is so hateful that I don't think we should be this heavily involved with Ukraine?
00:41:20.380 Oh, you.
00:41:20.920 So, you want all Ukrainians to die?
00:41:22.960 Yeah, and I love Vladimir Putin.
00:41:24.940 I can tell.
00:41:25.700 Yeah.
00:41:25.960 I saw it on your car out there, that big I loved Vladimir Putin bumper sticker.
00:41:30.520 And the hammer and sickle underneath it.
00:41:31.920 Yes, I noticed it.
00:41:32.900 That's you, right?
00:41:33.440 Yeah, I knew it.
00:41:34.720 And I hooked up speakers on my car that blare the Soviet national anthem wherever I go.
00:41:39.920 Which is weird.
00:41:40.320 It's not even the anthem they're using anymore.
00:41:42.140 No, I know.
00:41:42.380 You just want the return to those days.
00:41:43.880 Yes.
00:41:44.260 You know?
00:41:44.640 Yes.
00:41:45.120 That's my hope.
00:41:48.280 So, I don't know.
00:41:50.520 We'll talk about some of the possibilities for Speaker of the House and what their plans for Ukraine would be.

00:43:24.160 Pat and Stu for Glenn.
00:43:25.260 Stu, we haven't really had a chance to talk about this this week together.
00:43:29.140 But were you as surprised as I was that they removed Kevin McCarthy as quickly and easily as they did?
00:43:35.380 Yeah.
00:43:35.900 That kind of blew me away.
00:43:36.900 It was interesting and, you know, I have some concerns about removing Kevin McCarthy.
00:43:44.820 Not because I like McCarthy per se.
00:43:48.120 Worried about who might replace him?
00:43:49.360 Yeah.
00:43:49.500 I'm worried about how this plays out because, you know, there's a few different ways it can.
00:43:53.800 And what I want going into this is a plan.
00:43:58.440 A plan that has a good chance of success.
00:44:02.440 I was talking about this with Glenn yesterday and he looked at me with these glazed over eyes as if he had no idea what I was speaking.
00:44:09.000 But let me attempt it with you here.
00:44:10.240 All right.
00:44:10.680 Okay.
00:44:10.900 It's fourth and eight and you're at your own 25-yard line.
00:44:14.300 Yes.
00:44:15.180 Most of the coaches in that situation want to punt.
00:44:18.040 Right.
00:44:18.260 But a few people, let's say Matt Gates, Coach Gates, is like, hey, let's go for it.
00:44:22.580 Now, you look at the analytics.
00:44:24.080 Maybe there's some argument to go for here.
00:44:25.560 It's a little risky.
00:44:26.620 Right?
00:44:26.740 I'd like to see the analytics and say go for it on fourth and eight from your own 25.
00:44:30.580 I want to see those analytics.
00:44:32.000 There are some analytics that say go for it a lot more than you'd think.
00:44:34.780 Right?
00:44:34.860 So, maybe that's there.
00:44:35.780 Who knows?
00:44:36.760 But it's certainly an interesting call.
00:44:39.000 Yes.
00:44:39.420 So, now there's this big fight on the sidelines.
00:44:41.560 Right?
00:44:42.100 Yeah.
00:44:42.440 And Coach Gates wins.
00:44:45.180 They're going to go for it.
00:44:46.320 All right?
00:44:46.780 Uh-huh.
00:44:47.980 Now, Coach Gates seems to be taking a victory lap at this point, which is a little early.
00:44:54.200 Premature.
00:44:54.520 Because we have not actually had the play yet to see if we succeed at the fourth and eight.
00:44:59.220 That's when you celebrate the decision, right?
00:45:01.340 Yeah.
00:45:01.740 If it works.
00:45:02.740 Right.
00:45:03.000 And, like, I'd argue, you know, we're getting to this in a second, but, like, someone like
00:45:05.800 Jim Jordan is, you've converted the fourth and eight.
00:45:09.020 Right?
00:45:09.240 Like, I think that's actually an improvement.
00:45:10.780 For sure.
00:45:11.180 Right?
00:45:11.400 Like, to me, for sure.
00:45:12.660 A big improvement?
00:45:13.600 Yes.
00:45:14.000 I'm excited about that one.
00:45:15.120 Me too.
00:45:15.500 Steve Scalise?
00:45:17.420 Somewhat of an improvement.
00:45:18.360 Maybe an improvement?
00:45:19.560 We just saw that Scalise has a, I think it was 54% record at Freedom, Freedom Record?
00:45:25.720 Freedom Works?
00:45:26.140 Freedom Works.
00:45:26.880 Okay.
00:45:27.160 Yeah.
00:45:27.380 That's not good.
00:45:27.960 That's not good.
00:45:28.660 Again, that's really not good.
00:45:30.000 You should be at least in the 90s.
00:45:33.480 Yes.
00:45:33.980 I would hope so.
00:45:34.620 If not higher.
00:45:35.000 And my argument here is, like, Chip Roy's 100.
00:45:37.960 Yeah.
00:45:38.460 100%.
00:45:38.780 Like, if Chip Roy, like, if you had a path to get Chip Roy to be Speaker of the House,
00:45:43.200 great.
00:45:43.680 Home run.
00:45:44.460 Yes.
00:45:44.680 I mean, I hate to take it to another sport, but that's a home run.
00:45:46.800 Like, I'd be thrilled with that.
00:45:47.800 Because Jim Jordan's either at 94 or 96.
00:45:50.320 Yeah.
00:45:50.480 Okay.
00:45:50.780 And so he's great.
00:45:52.640 He's awesome.
00:45:54.480 The number one thing you have to do in this situation is not cheer yourself for convincing
00:45:59.280 the coaching staff to go for it at fourth and eight.
00:46:01.500 Number one, you have to have a really good play.
00:46:04.200 Right?
00:46:04.260 You better have a play that's going to get eight yards.
00:46:06.940 Yeah.
00:46:07.280 And number two, you don't celebrate it until you've actually converted the fourth down.
00:46:11.460 Right?
00:46:11.620 Then it's okay to say, yes, we did it.
00:46:13.360 Great choice.
00:46:14.660 So, I'm concerned about this.
00:46:16.960 If you think about the way that this could play out, right?
00:46:19.960 You have situation, let's say, situation one, which is you get all Republicans aligned,
00:46:25.760 again, like they did with McCarthy.
00:46:27.360 And you push through somebody like Jim Jordan, like Steve Scalise, and you'll get a roughly
00:46:32.920 similar result, I think, with Jordan.
00:46:35.500 It's an improvement.
00:46:36.960 But again, they're still in a situation where they're only one third of this process, right?
00:46:41.460 Like, they're still just the House.
00:46:43.000 You don't have the Senate.
00:46:43.640 You don't have the presidency.
00:46:44.700 There's a high limitation as to what Jordan can actually accomplish with this job.
00:46:49.260 It's very limited.
00:46:50.980 So, even if you get Jim Jordan, who I think, from a perspective of ideology and approach,
00:46:59.240 I think would be a vast improvement, he's still very limited into how much he can do
00:47:03.840 in this role.
00:47:04.680 So, I think what you get there is a similar result.
00:47:08.840 You'll probably get something similar to what you got with McCarthy, maybe a little improved,
00:47:13.060 maybe a little bit worse.
00:47:14.040 Maybe Scalise is a little worse.
00:47:15.120 I don't know.
00:47:15.880 But you're generally going to be in the same area.
00:47:18.020 That's result number one.
00:47:19.840 The next idea is, let's say these eight people who would not vote for McCarthy, they can't
00:47:26.240 get them on board with somebody other than Jordan that they can all agree on.
00:47:29.980 So, what they have to do is try to pull in a few Democrats into that vote.
00:47:34.460 Now, that undoubtedly is going to get you a worse result than what we have because you're
00:47:40.160 getting Democrats to come in and agree to go along with us.
00:47:43.880 That's option number two, and that option is worse.
00:47:47.680 So, right now you have similar or worse.
00:47:51.760 Next up is a situation where both extremes, the AOC wing of the party, the Democrats, and
00:47:59.960 the Matt Gaetz wing of the Republicans, hate whoever they're nominating, but the middle agrees,
00:48:07.100 right?
00:48:07.420 You get all the moderates from both sides coming together and saying, you know what, we'll put
00:48:11.420 that person up because they're going to be, like, if they were to put up, I don't know,
00:48:14.740 someone in the Joe Manchin or Mitt Romney, right?
00:48:19.620 Like, again, I know they're senators, but like, the equivalent of that person in the middle,
00:48:24.200 could you get a bunch of Republicans and a bunch of Democrats to come together and say,
00:48:28.880 look, this is our, the establishment types, this is our, this is important, we must move
00:48:34.400 this along, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, we need someone who can bring us together,
00:48:38.560 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and they get that person through.
00:48:40.900 Well, that person, again, you're talking about someone who's, this is going to be much worse
00:48:46.360 than what we have now.
00:48:47.940 And then the fourth option, because you already have similar, worse, or much worse.
00:48:54.340 The last option is the Democrats unite and they are able to pick off four or five moderate
00:49:01.780 Republicans, whoever you think the four or five worst Republicans are in that caucus.
00:49:06.060 And they pick off four or five of them to join with them on their nomination, not necessarily
00:49:11.940 of Hakeem Jeffries, I don't think that would ever happen, but someone that the Democrats
00:49:15.300 say, you know what, this is going to be better than we're ever going to get from a Republican
00:49:18.240 House.
00:49:18.760 Let's go with it.
00:49:19.680 We'll take five moderates.
00:49:21.380 And we'll, we'll, we'll push that guy through with almost no Republican support.
00:49:25.940 And then you're in a level of catastrophe, right?
00:49:29.440 It's, that's a catastrophic result.
00:49:31.380 So when your four options are similar, worse, much worse, and catastrophic, do you go for
00:49:41.620 it on fourth and eight?
00:49:43.320 Maybe not.
00:49:44.440 No.
00:49:44.720 And I have no defense of McCarthy as a speaker.
00:49:47.480 Really?
00:49:48.080 I don't, I'm not impressed with him.
00:49:50.300 He, the only argument you can make for him is there's almost nothing he can do in this
00:49:55.040 role.
00:49:55.640 The only thing he can do, he's not going to get some massive passing, spending cut passed.
00:50:01.740 It's not going to happen.
00:50:02.620 He's got to get through the Democratic Senate and Joe Biden.
00:50:04.920 It's not going to happen.
00:50:06.280 We could all have come up with this, you know, this, this idea that he's going to pass this
00:50:10.440 thing that's going to make us all happy.
00:50:11.740 It is not going to occur.
00:50:14.020 All he can do is get certain concessions.
00:50:16.460 And by the way, the thing he passed, which I was not happy with.
00:50:19.840 Did pull out the Ukraine funding.
00:50:22.680 Yes.
00:50:23.060 Now they, they talked about a special deal, maybe being cut that it would come back later.
00:50:27.300 My guess is that probably is accurate.
00:50:29.680 Plus I will say that he promised a 98% of the budget when this would happen, when, when
00:50:35.620 they had to do the continuing resolutions, he would go for 98% of spending.
00:50:40.660 That's what he promised back in January.
00:50:42.360 He actually went further than that and went to 92% of what we were spending.
00:50:47.620 So we actually did more than he promised them to do in January, which is interesting.
00:50:52.520 Yeah.
00:50:52.940 It's interesting.
00:50:53.880 I don't think there's no defense of McCarthy here, but I don't, yes, I'm not particularly
00:50:58.560 won over by it.
00:50:59.620 I think we could do better.
00:51:00.780 Yeah.
00:51:01.120 I do too.
00:51:01.940 The question is the, the risk is there.
00:51:04.300 And so, you know, you, again, you make a cost benefit analysis when you make this decision
00:51:08.760 and if you think the risk is worth it, okay, go for it.
00:51:13.820 Like if, if what you had beforehand was Jim Jordan and you knew you could get him through,
00:51:18.460 I think this would be a really, I'd be completely behind this move and I would not be worried
00:51:22.920 about it.
00:51:23.540 Yeah.
00:51:23.680 But obviously that had not occurred.
00:51:27.300 You know, I think it's possible that Gates and Jordan talked beforehand and said, Hey,
00:51:31.580 I'll support you.
00:51:32.400 But I don't think, I don't know.
00:51:33.880 Can Jordan get through the moderate side of this caucus?
00:51:36.060 I don't know.
00:51:36.660 I don't think so.
00:51:37.580 I don't know.
00:51:38.060 I'll be surprised if he can.
00:51:40.080 I really hope he can.
00:51:41.080 I really hope he can.
00:51:41.900 And I don't think it's impossible, but I wouldn't say if you would have asked, if you would have
00:51:48.120 asked some Washington expert five years ago, whether Jim Jordan could become Speaker of
00:51:53.160 the House, they would have told you no way.
00:51:55.140 Yeah.
00:51:55.360 And he'd had no chance, no choice.
00:51:57.560 I mean, he was, he was not interested in the job even.
00:52:00.600 Yeah.
00:52:01.080 Because the last time this was even a question, he's like, no, I'm not.
00:52:04.260 No.
00:52:04.680 I'm not throwing my hat.
00:52:05.780 He was nominated several times, but he didn't even really want to be considered.
00:52:08.460 I'm not going to do it.
00:52:09.060 And again, this is, even if you love Jordan, you're also picking someone who voted for McCarthy.
00:52:14.300 Right.
00:52:14.720 True.
00:52:15.160 Right?
00:52:15.560 Yes.
00:52:15.800 And I think there's an argument to be made that that's like, look, I think it can be
00:52:21.260 an improvement, but if the argument is, well, you know, you don't want someone who works
00:52:25.460 with Democrats, you have to point out that these eight Republicans worked with Democrats
00:52:30.220 to get McCarthy tossed.
00:52:31.640 Like that's what they did, you know?
00:52:34.440 And I, look, I'm okay with the move if you could improve the situation, but this is, as
00:52:41.160 we talked about last hour, yet another thing that takes us away from talking about Joe
00:52:45.720 Biden and what has happened with Joe Biden.
00:52:47.880 Right.
00:52:48.480 And that does make me nervous.
00:52:49.740 That is true.
00:52:50.160 Look, get Jordan through.
00:52:51.660 And I still don't know that the risk would have been worth it because just because you
00:52:58.280 go for it on fourth and eight from your own 25 and make it doesn't make it the right move.
00:53:03.240 Right?
00:53:04.760 There's too much risk associated with that move.
00:53:06.840 But if you make it, at least we can all celebrate a good thing.
00:53:09.540 And I hope that's where this turns out.
00:53:12.180 And I mean, he's on board with stopping the ridiculous spending on Ukraine.
00:53:18.760 He was asked by Manu Raju from CNN, are you willing to move forward with an aid package
00:53:25.600 to Ukraine if you become speaker?
00:53:28.820 And Jordan responded, I'm against that.
00:53:30.940 At some point, we're going to have to deal with this appropriations process in the right
00:53:35.200 way.
00:53:35.860 We're going to try to do that in the next 41 days.
00:53:38.780 The most pressing issue on Americans' mind is not Ukraine.
00:53:42.960 It's the border situation and it's crime on the streets.
00:53:47.640 I agree with that.
00:53:48.880 I mean, that's exactly right.
00:53:51.160 All polling shows that as well.
00:53:52.760 By the way, if you want to look at polling when you talk about priorities, things that matter
00:53:57.720 to Americans are the economy, number one, border is right up there, you know, that is what they're
00:54:04.520 concerned about.
00:54:05.420 And so considering you happen to have the two things that Americans are most concerned about
00:54:10.140 as obvious disasters from the Biden administration, you'd think that would be the focus.
00:54:16.780 Those two things can get you through an election.
00:54:18.760 Now, look, the left is going to try to bring up abortion, which isn't nearly as high a priority
00:54:26.300 when it comes to polling of American citizens, including Republican primary voters.
00:54:30.740 I don't agree with that priority arrangement, but it is important to note that that's where it is.
00:54:39.340 So Democrats are going to try to pull things like this.
00:54:41.340 They're going to say, you know, Donald Trump is mean and he says mean things to people.
00:54:45.600 He calls them fad and stuff.
00:54:47.520 And then that's so you shouldn't vote for him.
00:54:50.200 And number two, hey, abortion, they're going to take your right away to kill your kid.
00:54:53.900 And look, those are really powerful arguments.
00:54:55.980 I can't powerful, powerful arguments that really you should be making massive decisions
00:54:59.780 on the country's future based on both of those things.
00:55:02.200 The protection of your right to murder children.
00:55:04.360 And of course, also Donald Trump is mean.
00:55:07.220 Those two things are vitally important to our country's future.
00:55:10.980 But they're not that high on people's priority lists on either side.
00:55:15.820 It's just that the right now there's a little bit of a snapback from Roe versus Wade being
00:55:23.640 overturned.
00:55:24.400 And they have been able to win some of these elections on smaller scales and states.
00:55:28.980 And they see this as their only path to success.
00:55:30.980 And that's because Republicans allow them to control the narrative.
00:55:35.500 And they're terrible at marketing themselves.
00:55:38.760 Terrible at it.
00:55:39.680 This is not hard.
00:55:41.040 And they're scared.
00:55:41.860 It's not hard.
00:55:42.360 They're scared.
00:55:42.800 They are scared.
00:55:43.480 They see a couple people losing elections.
00:55:45.640 Like you lose an election in a red state over abortion.
00:55:48.240 And they think that they have to run from it.
00:55:51.880 I mean, look at the way that Donald Trump talks about it.
00:55:54.100 This is a guy who has arguably the best record of any president on pro-life issues.
00:55:59.540 Why?
00:55:59.840 Because he was able to put into motion the overturning of Roe versus Wade.
00:56:06.060 Look, yes, you can make the argument that he just is picking off a list from the Federalist
00:56:09.760 Society.
00:56:10.720 And there's tons of validity to that argument.
00:56:14.080 But so what?
00:56:15.840 Right.
00:56:16.140 He actually did it.
00:56:17.200 Nobody else has.
00:56:18.820 Nobody else did it.
00:56:19.740 And look, do I think Ted Cruz would have picked good justices that would have?
00:56:23.520 Yes, I do think he would have been fined in that respect.
00:56:25.800 He would have known all these people.
00:56:27.460 Donald Trump did what he promised to do when it came to overturning Roe versus Wade.
00:56:33.300 He got that done.
00:56:34.580 And we've admitted a thousand times on the air, neither one of us ever thought we'd see
00:56:38.100 the day.
00:56:38.580 That's for sure.
00:56:39.120 So that record is really strong from a pro-life perspective.
00:56:42.140 But now he's saying, you know, look, a heartbeat bill is a major mistake.
00:56:45.460 I don't, I can't agree with that.
00:56:47.320 I won't agree with it.
00:56:48.040 I don't care who says it.

00:56:52.300 More coming up in one minute.
00:56:53.360 Every year, over 15,000 independent farms and ranches in America are driven out of business.
00:57:08.500 Why?
00:57:08.940 Because 85% of the grass-fed beef in America is imported from overseas.
00:57:14.600 You probably didn't notice that in stores because foreign meat often wears a product
00:57:19.660 of USA label.

00:58:00.800 10 seconds, station ID.
00:58:02.000 We're just watching the situation with George Santos, still in office, still a congressman,
00:58:19.380 despite the fact that he absolutely lied.
00:58:21.060 He literally lied about everything.
00:58:22.880 About everything.
00:58:24.480 And he's not even close to our worst congressman, which is hilarious.
00:58:27.660 Or even George Santos.
00:58:28.620 I don't know.
00:58:29.020 I don't know.
00:58:29.600 I don't know.
00:58:30.360 It's funny because, first of all, New York has been bringing us some real gems lately.
00:58:35.340 Yeah.
00:58:35.580 You know, also Bowman is from there.
00:58:37.340 Oh, wow.
00:58:37.840 That's right.
00:58:38.240 The guy who pulled the fire alarm the other day.
00:58:40.460 And what's funny about this is like, number one, if you're George Santos, you don't get
00:58:44.880 to make fun of other people.
00:58:46.300 Right?
00:58:46.380 Like, that's not one of the things you're allowed to do.
00:58:48.780 Right.
00:58:49.000 Right.
00:58:49.480 Right.
00:58:49.660 But number two, he's making these videos about Bowman and the fire alarm.
00:58:53.800 Like, if you're being dunked on by George Santos, you should just stop.
00:59:00.700 The biggest liar in the history of American politics.
00:59:03.860 Remove yourself immediately from Congress if you're getting dunked on.
00:59:07.340 Successfully, by the way, by George Santos.
00:59:09.700 Embarrassing.
00:59:10.300 What a weird time we live in.
00:59:11.280 And you know what, if we don't clean out our own house, how can you expect to clean
00:59:16.620 out the Democrats who need to be cleaned?
00:59:19.140 I mean, let's please take care of our dirty laundry, George Santos being among that laundry,
00:59:26.780 but also Mitch McConnell in the Senate.
00:59:28.820 Yeah.
00:59:29.240 We've got to do something about that.
00:59:30.840 Get out.
00:59:31.740 He should be gone.
00:59:32.380 The man is obviously having massive problems.
00:59:33.880 I don't wish anything bad for him, but he's got massive health problems and he won't even
00:59:37.600 discuss what it is.
00:59:38.820 He gets indignant if you ask him about it.
00:59:42.440 Are you kidding me?
00:59:43.440 You're the Senate minority or, yeah, minority leader.
00:59:47.900 Well.
00:59:48.320 What do you mean?
00:59:49.640 We have no right to know about your health situation?
00:59:53.720 Well, we know what it is, Pat.
00:59:54.620 It was dehydration.
00:59:55.840 Dehydrate, right.
00:59:56.620 He didn't have enough, he didn't have enough Gatorade that day.
00:59:58.880 That's right.
00:59:59.980 Dehydration.
01:00:00.500 That's what they actually tried to claim.
01:00:01.880 Lightheadedness.
01:00:02.600 Don't forget the lightheaded situation.
01:00:04.480 And I think those things go hand in hand a little bit.
01:00:06.460 When I get lightheaded.
01:00:08.820 The same thing happened.
01:00:14.740 Oh, yeah.
01:00:15.100 I finally pulled out of it.
01:00:16.660 Yeah.
01:00:16.860 Yeah.
01:00:17.160 That happened right then.
01:00:18.000 I don't know if you even realized it.
01:00:19.140 Yeah.
01:00:19.200 Yeah.
01:00:19.260 You just froze.
01:00:19.960 Sorry.
01:00:20.280 I was a little lightheaded there and I haven't had a drink of water for a while.
01:00:23.640 I apologize to hundreds and hundreds of radio stations who thought they just lost the
01:00:27.340 feed.
01:00:27.700 I realized that halfway through your pause and I was like, ah, but it's true.
01:00:32.840 I mean, that's what McConnell did.
01:00:34.700 And look, what's interesting about, I don't know, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the
01:00:39.500 people that I heard talk about that incident on the conservative side, I know I was there,
01:00:44.460 said he needs, this is ridiculous.
01:00:46.600 Just like we said about John Fetterman and Joe Biden and Dianne Feinstein.
01:00:52.440 He needs to be out.
01:00:53.620 Yes.
01:00:53.800 This is over.
01:00:54.800 Yes.
01:00:55.320 Get him out of office.
01:00:56.380 I don't want someone who can't get through a sentence as the leader of the Senate for
01:01:02.540 the Republicans.
01:01:03.080 I've never seen anybody with a double standard on this.
01:01:05.460 I don't know anybody who says, no, leave Mitch McConnell alone.
01:01:08.940 He belongs right where he is.
01:01:11.040 Yeah.
01:01:11.420 Have you ever heard anybody defending that?
01:01:13.340 No.
01:01:13.460 I haven't.
01:01:15.100 Santos, and by the way, they were protected in the McConnell situation because McConnell changed
01:01:20.440 the law to make it so Republicans got to nominate the next senator because they have a Democratic
01:01:26.220 governor, and then the Democratic governor picks from, I think, a list of three that
01:01:30.020 the Republicans give him.
01:01:31.700 The Santos situation is more complicated because they only have a four-seat majority, and they
01:01:37.520 could very well lose that district in the next election because it's not a bright red
01:01:43.080 district.
01:01:43.500 It's a purple district.
01:01:44.860 So that one is a tougher one because it's so tight.
01:01:48.140 I can understand why they're just shrugging their shoulders and saying, there's nothing
01:01:51.300 we can do right now, but they'll try to take him out in the primary.
01:01:54.500 Right.
01:01:54.660 That seems to be their approach with Santos.
01:01:56.620 Oof.
01:01:57.620 More coming up in just a minute.
01:02:01.060 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:02:04.540 If you're living with aches and pains, especially if they're frequent and nagging and relentless,
01:02:09.120 I want you to take a moment and think back to the last time you really felt good.
01:02:13.080 Can you even remember what it felt like?
01:02:15.040 Now, here's even a more important question.
01:02:16.860 What would you give to go back to feeling like that again?
01:02:20.160 Maybe it would just be nice to take a stroll with your loved one or play with your grandchildren.
01:02:24.100 I've suffered from persistent, crippling pain almost all the time for about five years.
01:02:29.340 When I started taking Relief Factor, I took it because my wife made me start taking it.
01:02:33.400 I didn't think it would work for me.
01:02:34.800 Yet here I am today, virtually pain-free, doing the things I love to do, all thanks to my wonderful
01:02:40.200 wife and Relief Factor.
01:02:41.680 I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and about 70% of the people who
01:02:46.120 try it go on to order more.
01:02:47.760 Are you part of that 70% that can get your life back?
01:02:50.520 Your first step to becoming pain-free just might be to order the three-week quick start
01:02:54.760 for only $19.95.

01:03:07.740 Listen anytime, anywhere podcasts are found.
01:03:11.020 Stick around.
01:03:11.900 More after the break.
01:03:13.180 Stand up!
01:03:21.500 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
01:03:24.300 Coming up is Joe Biden's major speech on convincing America that we've got to continue the unlimited
01:03:32.660 aid for an unlimited period of time to Ukraine.
01:03:36.560 Typical.
01:03:37.100 You know, you do this all the time, Pat.
01:03:38.320 You exaggerate.
01:03:39.520 And I'm going to call you out on it when I hear you do it.
01:03:41.840 All right.
01:03:42.340 There are limits on what we can...
01:03:44.700 Are there?
01:03:45.120 Yes.
01:03:45.460 Yes, there are.
01:03:46.000 Oh.
01:03:46.420 They've been very clear about this.
01:03:47.740 Uh-huh.
01:03:48.060 As much as it takes for as long as it takes.
01:03:51.180 So...
01:03:51.780 Okay.
01:03:52.600 So after the job is finally done, then we'll stop?
01:03:58.000 Well, no.
01:03:58.220 Well, after the...
01:03:58.940 Yeah, we're going to have to rebuild the whole country first.
01:04:00.560 Rebuild the country.
01:04:00.920 Right.
01:04:01.320 Once we rebuild everything back to...
01:04:03.000 Like, let's say we just make it into a giant Disneyland.
01:04:05.220 Once that's done...
01:04:06.800 Then we'll...
01:04:07.880 Well, we need to keep the maintenance going, obviously.
01:04:10.300 But I mean, most of the spending will be gone by then.
01:04:13.040 After we spend, you know, $11 trillion on it.
01:04:16.560 Okay.
01:04:17.180 Once we get to that number, I think we'll be...
01:04:18.800 Eleventy trillion is, you think, maybe the number.
01:04:21.700 Right.
01:04:22.140 I do think it's around that number, apparently.
01:04:24.220 I think it is.
01:04:26.240 Actually, that might not be enough.
01:04:28.300 Because it's going to go on forever, as they've told us.
01:04:31.300 And I just...
01:04:32.100 I...
01:04:32.380 No.
01:04:34.260 I just want it to stop now.
01:04:36.060 I just want it to stop.
01:04:37.380 And I don't know where conservatives are necessarily on this.
01:04:41.920 I think a lot of us are fed up with this, with the never-ending wars and our never-ending
01:04:47.680 intervention into everybody else's wars and nation-building.
01:04:51.880 And I just...
01:04:52.840 I want it to stop.
01:04:54.920 And maybe that's too much to ask.
01:04:57.020 I don't know.
01:04:57.420 Maybe we're too far down that road now.
01:04:59.880 Maybe we're so far from the plan, the original plan the Founding Fathers laid out for us,
01:05:05.220 to stay out of everybody else's mess, let Europe do Europe, and we'll just watch from
01:05:11.340 here on the sidelines.
01:05:12.620 But we're...
01:05:13.620 You know, we don't do that and haven't done that for a long, long time.
01:05:17.080 But I want to get back to that.
01:05:19.100 If we're attacked, then by golly, yes, let's put the hammer down on whoever it is that attacked
01:05:25.340 us, and then let's come back home.
01:05:28.020 But this never-ending stuff, this as long as it takes, as much as it takes for a nation,
01:05:33.320 and you're going to have a hard time making the point, I think, that this is in the best
01:05:38.400 interest of America.
01:05:39.660 And they'll, of course, say that it won't stop with Ukraine.
01:05:43.060 They're going to attack other NATO countries and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:05:46.780 I think the deeper we get into this, the bigger the opportunity is for us to send troops there.
01:05:53.360 And I just fear that this ends with boots on the ground.
01:05:58.040 I think there's a real possibility of that.
01:05:59.720 And the reason you think that is because they set down 15 red lines already that we've crossed.
01:06:06.080 Right.
01:06:06.140 Like, the tanks crossed that line, fighter jets crossed that line.
01:06:11.600 The only thing in that speech that he hasn't done are the battle trains.
01:06:15.860 And I don't know when he's going to send the battle trains into Ukraine.
01:06:19.220 But when that happens, that's World War III.
01:06:21.140 I got to get one of these battle trains.
01:06:23.040 They just sound awesome.
01:06:24.540 Because I know you have a real affinity for trains in general.
01:06:27.580 You must really love the battle trains.
01:06:30.320 Oh, God.
01:06:31.200 Who thought we could waste more money on trains in this world?
01:06:35.180 I don't know.
01:06:35.920 It's amazing.
01:06:37.120 But it's funny because you look at that and you say, okay.
01:06:42.600 I listened to a little bit of Mike Pence yesterday on with Megyn Kelly.
01:06:46.880 They did an interview.
01:06:47.940 Such a warmonger.
01:06:49.040 He really is making the affirmative case.
01:06:51.360 We need to be doing this.
01:06:52.280 He and Nikki Haley are driving me out of my mind.
01:06:54.280 I know.
01:06:54.680 And this is really, this is sort of new for you.
01:06:56.460 I mean, new over the past decade and a half.
01:06:59.940 I mean, it's not new, new.
01:07:01.320 Yes.
01:07:01.720 You would have, I think, there was a time in your life.
01:07:03.940 In the early 2000s, I would have been, yeah, let's do this.
01:07:06.300 We need that.
01:07:07.400 Maybe been more aggressive.
01:07:08.800 And you've changed a lot on that.
01:07:10.340 Yes.
01:07:10.740 And, you know, when you change your opinion, as you have done, you explain why and what information has decided to change.
01:07:18.060 Right.
01:07:18.380 Unlike our politicians who just whimsically go from one side to the other.
01:07:23.040 20-year wars tend to wear on me a bit.
01:07:25.700 Yeah.
01:07:26.260 You know?
01:07:26.640 Really?
01:07:27.100 Yeah.
01:07:27.400 In what way?
01:07:28.280 Have you ever thought about that?
01:07:29.720 In that, especially when, after you've spent 20 years dealing with that situation, and then you just throw it away at the end and give it back to the enemy.
01:07:37.820 That sounds fun.
01:07:38.660 You really have sort of a, I'm a little resistant to that.
01:07:42.820 Yeah.
01:07:43.360 Yeah.
01:07:43.620 So, like, I look at this and I say, okay, look, if I'm a Ukrainian citizen, I am absolutely advocating for us to do, if I'm in Ukraine, to do everything you can to push back the Russian army.
01:07:59.520 Like, I don't want to give one freaking inch of territory, including Crimea, to the Russians.
01:08:06.640 I, as a Ukrainian, if I were a Ukrainian, would be saying a lot of the things that you hear from more hawkish opinions of the United States.
01:08:17.160 But that's if you were a Ukrainian.
01:08:19.400 Yeah, I would ask all the time the Americans to give me stuff.
01:08:24.240 Yes.
01:08:24.440 I would, 100%.
01:08:25.680 Of course.
01:08:26.160 Look, they are literally, they're fighting for their lives there.
01:08:29.320 They are fighting for their country, their sovereignty.
01:08:32.220 Bless them.
01:08:32.720 I wish them the best.
01:08:33.760 I wish them the best, too.
01:08:34.740 Go for it.
01:08:35.140 The question is whether we should be involved in it, at least at this scale.
01:08:38.320 Yeah.
01:08:38.640 Right?
01:08:38.940 Like, you could argue, hey, can we help out in some humanitarian way?
01:08:43.280 There's some kid who's starving and we need to get him some food.
01:08:45.920 Hey.
01:08:46.480 Yeah.
01:08:46.640 There's a lot of charities doing a lot of that work, and it's good work.
01:08:48.880 I know people who've gone to the border of Poland and Ukraine and have fought, not fought in the battle, but fought to be able to supply these people with food.
01:08:59.980 And I'm like, look, it's a scary place to be.
01:09:03.440 And I don't think there's anything wrong with that instinct.
01:09:05.820 I think it should be done mostly by charities.
01:09:07.960 That's just my personal opinion.
01:09:10.540 But if there was an argument being made, let's be honest about it.
01:09:13.340 We spend money on stuff all the time.
01:09:15.060 If there was an argument being made, look, we just need to give humanitarian aid to the people affected by this war.
01:09:19.900 I doubt there'd be much pushback.
01:09:22.380 I think the pushback here is the argument that we might get pulled into this.
01:09:27.320 Yes.
01:09:27.520 And you've got to depend on Joe Biden and his magical competence to be able to keep us out of that situation.
01:09:32.600 And I have no faith in that.
01:09:34.360 I don't see how you could have faith in that.
01:09:37.220 How could anybody put their trust into this brain-dead president?
01:09:42.520 I don't understand it.
01:09:44.280 I really don't understand.
01:09:46.460 And I don't understand how he's so different on this particular situation than any other in the past.
01:09:52.660 And yet they all are.
01:09:54.500 Yeah.
01:09:54.820 Why?
01:09:55.840 Explain that to the American people.
01:09:57.480 It's hard.
01:09:58.180 And the risk is so high, right?
01:10:00.420 Yeah, very high.
01:10:01.240 We're talking about the number two or number three, I guess, maybe behind China, superpower, or elevated power.
01:10:09.020 It's certainly one of the main countries you'd worry about in a nuclear conflict.
01:10:12.960 The one, the country with, let's say it plainly here, the most nuclear weapons of any country, including us in the world, okay?
01:10:22.860 With a leader who is at some level unstable, who made a decision here, which is erratic at best to go in in the first place, completely misjudged what was going to happen.
01:10:36.060 Yep.
01:10:36.580 Right?
01:10:37.560 And while he's been able to gain some territory, actually, over the past few months, he's lost a little bit, not gained any.
01:10:44.320 He's in a position where he absolutely cannot give up on this war because he will, you know, he's put too much into it.
01:10:51.920 He'll look really bad now.
01:10:52.360 He'll look really bad and likely, you know, be thrown out of office in some sort of coup if he gets overturned.
01:10:58.840 Maybe or maybe not.
01:10:59.540 But he does not see this as something he can give in to.
01:11:02.440 He can't just be like, ah, you know what?
01:11:03.860 Ukraine's been tougher than I thought.
01:11:05.080 Let's just back off.
01:11:05.880 That's not going to happen.
01:11:07.180 Like, it's possible they could come up with some sort of settlement where maybe they maintain most of the territory that they have.
01:11:14.160 And honestly, that's what we should be pushing for behind the scenes.
01:11:17.880 Again, if I'm in Ukraine, I don't like that answer.
01:11:22.140 But as America, prioritizing the avoidance of World War III is what I want.
01:11:29.460 Yeah.
01:11:29.680 And they don't seem to be interested in that at all.
01:11:33.960 Now, there are many ways you can handle this.
01:11:36.680 We've talked about most of them before.
01:11:38.400 And I'm not against every single intervention.
01:11:41.980 You know, like, I think if there's a way to protect someone on the other end of a genocide that we can do inexpensively and without elevating this to World War III, I think it's worth looking into.
01:11:56.480 I'll give you an example of this.
01:11:57.460 The Rwandan genocide is an example of this.
01:12:00.340 You've got a million people being murdered in a very short period of time.
01:12:05.720 Largely by machetes.
01:12:06.740 Machetes, right?
01:12:07.940 Yeah.
01:12:08.220 This is not a situation.
01:12:10.500 They're not going to start throwing their machetes at us from Rwanda, right?
01:12:14.740 Like, it's not something that can escalate into World War III.
01:12:17.900 It's not something that necessarily we have to be there for an endless amount of time.
01:12:22.000 And it's something that we could do really cheaply.
01:12:25.360 Like, you put a bunch of guys in there with AK-47s.
01:12:28.380 You could have saved a million lives.
01:12:29.220 You could have saved a million lives.
01:12:30.500 And yet we turned a blind eye to that and we're like, meh.
01:12:32.620 Our calculation on that by President Bill Clinton was, eh.
01:12:36.520 Mm-hmm.
01:12:37.220 Eh, you know, I'll fly into the airport.
01:12:39.500 I won't even leave the tarmac.
01:12:41.340 And then I'll take off again.
01:12:42.300 Because we put no value in the lives of the Tutsis versus the Hutus in that particular battle.
01:12:49.380 We didn't care.
01:12:50.480 And I, you know, I think the argument that would be made by many people would be that we didn't care because it was far away and it didn't affect us.
01:12:58.580 Well, you know, like, there's a situation that you could at least make the argument.
01:13:02.700 A lot of libertarians would say, look, you stay out of it no matter what.
01:13:05.620 I can respect that ideological line, if that is your ideological line.
01:13:09.840 But that is a case where I think there's a sensible choice for us to be involved.
01:13:14.740 Here is a choice where, look, if you want to be involved in some capacity, you can take sides in this.
01:13:20.540 I think there's a clear side.
01:13:21.860 Look, Ukraine is incredibly corrupt.
01:13:24.040 I don't look at them as these golden children, especially their government.
01:13:28.340 I don't either.
01:13:28.820 But they were invaded by a foreign power in a way that is completely wrong, in my view.
01:13:34.140 Mm-hmm.
01:13:34.600 And I don't want, I didn't want Vladimir Putin to win this battle.
01:13:38.100 I want him to lose.
01:13:38.960 My preference would be he loses every inch of this territory, including Crimea, which we should have said back in 2014 when they took it.
01:13:46.020 Mm-hmm.
01:13:46.180 But the president of the United States at that time, Barack Obama, was like, eh.
01:13:50.060 Right.
01:13:50.440 So we shrugged our shoulders at that one.
01:13:52.920 And so I want him to lose.
01:13:54.600 I want him to go back.
01:13:55.560 I want him to feel like he should never do this again.
01:13:59.840 But that is different.
01:14:01.660 It can exist at the same time by not, as an opinion of not wanting your country to be involved in World War III.
01:14:07.920 Mm-hmm.
01:14:09.140 And I, look, to be clear, if we were in a situation where we, maybe we would oppose, if Joe Biden invaded Canada right now, and he was just like, we got to get that, we got to get the Rogers Center, the Blue Jays have got to be part of this country.
01:14:25.540 I mean, it's insane we have one team up there.
01:14:28.060 We got to get that.
01:14:29.120 We're evading.
01:14:29.760 We're taking over Toronto.
01:14:31.000 Plus, they own about 90% of the world supply of maple syrup.
01:14:35.040 Right.
01:14:35.540 We got to have it.
01:14:36.180 We got to have it.
01:14:36.820 We got to have it.
01:14:37.520 And if he went in there and he thought he was going to take over the country in a few days and it failed, we might be critical of him for this is a bad move.
01:14:44.180 We might think it was an unjust war on our behalf.
01:14:46.920 Right.
01:14:47.160 But at the end of the day, if Russia was funding the Canadian military with enough crap to kill thousands of our soldiers in that war.
01:14:58.500 We'd be pissed.
01:14:59.320 We'd be pissed.
01:15:00.420 And we would be on the air, I guarantee you, arguing that we should be doing a hell of a lot more to not hold just Canada responsible for what's going on, but also Russia.
01:15:09.540 We'd also be saying, Vlad, do you understand that they're hoarding the world supply of maple syrup?
01:15:14.520 Yeah.
01:15:14.900 Do you know that?
01:15:15.580 Yeah.
01:15:16.020 Are you aware?
01:15:16.840 We're trying to bring justice to this planet.
01:15:19.260 Yeah.
01:15:20.140 Why are you standing in our way?
01:15:22.500 Why?
01:15:22.780 They have also almost the entire world supply of Mazdas.
01:15:26.300 Now, we have Mazdas, but they have Mazdas there.
01:15:29.600 Wow.
01:15:30.100 That's how they say it.
01:15:31.140 Mazda.
01:15:32.160 Mazda.
01:15:32.740 Mazda.
01:15:33.180 It's not Mazda.
01:15:33.860 It's Mazda.
01:15:35.120 Where else will we get Mazdas from?
01:15:37.000 No one else calls them Mazdas.
01:15:38.480 Mazdas, where are we going to get the Mazdas?
01:15:40.780 As long as we're invading countries for stupid things like that.
01:15:45.280 Yeah.
01:15:45.940 We need to invade the UK as well because of the Jaguar thing.
01:15:49.920 Oh, yeah.
01:15:50.480 Jaguar.
01:15:50.900 They're not Jaguars.
01:15:52.220 They're Jaguars.
01:15:53.060 Now, you'd think it is their language.
01:15:55.520 Maybe they have the right word.
01:15:56.580 But we perfected it.
01:15:56.920 Yeah, we perfected it.
01:15:57.540 We perfected it.
01:15:58.260 We came along and we helped.
01:15:59.540 We helped the situation.
01:16:00.740 We did.

01:17:23.860 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
01:17:26.380 888-727-B-E-C-K.
01:17:29.420 You're Blue Jays.
01:17:31.040 Eliminated from the baseball playoffs.
01:17:33.640 It's stupid.
01:17:34.260 Sad.
01:17:34.640 Astros still in it.
01:17:35.900 Astros are in it.
01:17:36.720 Astros still in it.
01:17:37.280 Rangers are in it, which are a big team around here in Dallas.
01:17:40.640 But I make this appeal not because my team loses two games in a row every time this happens.
01:17:46.780 It's really not the reason.
01:17:48.080 That's not the reason?
01:17:48.780 It's not the reason.
01:17:49.500 I think it hurts more because my favorite team lost in two games again and scored one run over two games.
01:17:56.060 Yeah.
01:17:56.260 But, like, here's the thing.
01:17:58.320 It's a 162-game season.
01:18:00.300 Yeah.
01:18:00.600 I lived and died with them winning and losing in the last couple months to see if they would get into the playoffs.
01:18:05.440 It was a big deal.
01:18:06.480 I spent a lot of time.
01:18:07.420 I care about it.
01:18:08.200 I love sports.
01:18:09.320 I love the Blue Jays.
01:18:10.180 I know it's bizarre.
01:18:10.960 I'm the only American Blue Jays fan.
01:18:13.800 But, like, you play 162 games and then you have a three-game series.
01:18:19.240 Like, baseball is a long-term sport, not a short-term.
01:18:22.280 It shouldn't be three.
01:18:23.460 At the very least, it should be five.
01:18:25.580 In my argument, it should be seven.
01:18:27.160 I mean, that's what it should be.
01:18:29.860 That's the best way to do a baseball series because you have to see at least usually four starting pitchers, right?
01:18:36.460 Sometimes three, but you can get away with three, but the whole long season is about having partially five good pitchers to start games.
01:18:44.420 And then you go into the playoffs and you're like, ah, you only need two now.
01:18:47.540 Like, it's dumb.
01:18:48.960 And so, and I'll make this argument for the Rays, who I am not a fan of.
01:18:51.980 They're rivals of the Blue Jays.
01:18:54.080 They won, what, 98 games this year and they're gone in two days?
01:18:58.300 99 games.
01:18:59.240 They won 99 games.
01:19:01.600 They were the second-best record in the AL.
01:19:03.980 And what, three people showed up for the playoffs, though?
01:19:06.860 That's part of their problem right there.
01:19:08.360 That is part of their problem.
01:19:09.600 We love Tampa.
01:19:10.520 We were there when the Rays were launched.
01:19:12.260 We were in a Tampa-based show when they started.
01:19:15.380 And I'll never forget their first year.
01:19:17.360 You know, you get all this excitement, new franchise.
01:19:20.480 And they had, because we were the home of the Tampa Bay Rays, the Devil Rays at the time,
01:19:26.380 they got a bunch of tickets for everyone to come, you know, who worked at the station to go see.
01:19:30.240 And when I would leave every day, walking up the station, on the desk where the, you know,
01:19:35.880 the assistant who had them was, there's just a giant stack of tickets.
01:19:40.080 And every day, they'd just be sitting there at the edge of the desk for anyone walking out to just take.
01:19:44.500 And nobody even wanted them for free.
01:19:45.880 And no one would take them.
01:19:46.700 I mean, it's just a journey over to St. Pete.
01:19:49.060 Like, that distance is a tough distance, especially during rush hour to go to if you're from Tampa.
01:19:54.280 And the team was bad, and no one was showing up, and no one liked the stadium, and they're still in the same place.
01:20:00.560 And nobody still shows up.
01:20:02.200 They're really like...
01:20:03.000 How have they kept that team there?
01:20:04.500 It's amazing.
01:20:05.000 They made money ball over the A's.
01:20:06.700 But, like, the Rays have accomplished much more, I would argue, than the A's have.
01:20:12.740 It's an incredible franchise, actually.
01:20:15.360 But no one seems to pay attention to them for whatever reason.
01:20:18.620 Yeah.
01:20:18.900 But again, they shouldn't be out after having two bad games.
01:20:21.320 They won 99 games this year.
01:20:24.440 It's just a ridiculous thing that they've got to change.
01:20:28.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:30.500 We've got no room to compromise.
01:20:53.240 We've got to stand together, it's the chorus of life.
01:20:58.820 Stand up straight and hold the line.
01:21:06.560 It's a new day, I'm trying to rise.
01:21:12.980 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:21:18.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:21:22.640 Stand up.
01:21:23.600 All right.
01:21:25.500 We've got to get into the issue on everybody's mind right now.
01:21:28.640 And that, of course, is sexy red.
01:21:31.340 Yeah.
01:21:31.740 Am I right?
01:21:32.520 You are right.
01:21:33.500 It was with me on that.
01:21:33.820 Everybody.
01:21:35.120 Everybody.
01:21:35.660 I mean, I feel like we're almost like the NFL now.
01:21:37.980 We're just showing Taylor Swift in the box.
01:21:39.840 Right.
01:21:40.920 When you hear that, you're going to hear just about to have a story about sexy red.
01:21:43.960 It's almost like clickbait.
01:21:45.380 You know, everyone's thinking about sexy red.
01:21:47.340 Yeah.
01:21:47.840 And we'll tell you why in one minute.
01:21:51.320 Stand up.
01:21:58.780 Life is about being active.
01:22:00.720 Whether it's about going on your daily tasks or exercising, you know you're well when you're
01:22:06.280 regularly active.
01:22:07.620 But what happens when being active actually hurts by the end of the day?
01:22:11.140 This is the position I found myself in a number of years ago.
01:22:14.060 Everything I wanted to do in my daily life, all of the activity it called for, was held
01:22:19.140 captive to almost constant nagging pain.
01:22:22.500 When I heard about Relief Factor, I was skeptical, but my wife said, give it a chance.
01:22:26.920 Not long after I took it, I could feel the pain begin to melt away, and I've been taking
01:22:31.360 it ever since.
01:22:32.420 And I can tell you that Relief Factor has helped me get my life back.
01:22:36.060 I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and about 70% of the people
01:22:40.400 who try it go on to order more.
01:22:41.940 Your first step to becoming pain-free just might be ordering a three-week quick start
01:22:47.200 for only $19.95.
01:22:48.740 Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.
01:22:52.740 800-4-RELIEF or relieffactor.com.
01:22:55.860 Find out all about this offer and feel the difference.
01:23:05.640 Welcome.
01:23:06.740 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
01:23:08.720 888-727-BECK.
01:23:10.640 And Pat, let me ask you a question.
01:23:12.400 And this is a dumb question, but are you familiar with Sexy Red?
01:23:17.180 Oh my gosh, that is a stupid question.
01:23:19.640 Sorry.
01:23:20.280 Maybe, probably the dumbest one you've asked.
01:23:22.120 Really?
01:23:22.880 Maybe ever.
01:23:23.880 Oh my gosh, I'm sorry.
01:23:24.740 I mean, who isn't a big fan of Sexy Red?
01:23:27.400 You know what I mean?
01:23:27.880 So, when you're on Spotify, like how many of your top songs of 2023 will be Sexy Red songs?
01:23:35.540 All of them.
01:23:36.300 Oh, really?
01:23:36.780 Yeah, all of them.
01:23:37.120 So, it's the only artist you listen to?
01:23:38.640 Yeah, pretty much.
01:23:39.940 Really?
01:23:40.580 Yeah.
01:23:41.020 Well, because that's the thing.
01:23:41.720 You make a cost-benefit analysis.
01:23:43.220 You say, hey, I can listen to another Sexy Red song or a song from someone else.
01:23:48.560 That is so much lesser.
01:23:49.840 Right.
01:23:50.280 And then I say, no.
01:23:52.040 Why would I do that?
01:23:52.660 Why would I do that?
01:23:53.280 Why would I do that?
01:23:53.620 I'll just pick another.
01:23:54.480 I'll just play that same Sexy Red song over and over again.
01:23:57.100 Exactly.
01:23:57.620 Now, can you name a Sexy Red song?
01:24:00.100 Well, I could, but I'm not going to insult people's intelligence.
01:24:02.800 Okay.
01:24:03.060 You know, who are just as big, if not bigger, Sexy Red fans than I am.
01:24:07.680 This audience, huge.
01:24:08.980 Huge in the Sexy Red, as you know.
01:24:11.320 That's very true.
01:24:12.080 We've done a lot of audience research, and we find we have the highest crossover with Sexy Red.
01:24:16.700 Now, Pat, can I just ask you, this is a quick question.
01:24:20.820 Okay.
01:24:21.480 How do you spell Sexy Red?
01:24:27.460 In this context, not the two words of English.
01:24:30.760 If you had to guess.
01:24:32.120 I would say S-E-C-K-S-Y.
01:24:40.340 R-E-A-D.
01:24:43.060 That's a good guess.
01:24:44.280 Was I close?
01:24:45.660 Not quite as far as that.
01:24:47.960 She just says S-E-X-Y-Y-R-E-D.
01:24:53.000 Okay.
01:24:53.280 Just an extra Y in there.
01:24:54.380 It's like Zelensky.
01:24:57.740 That's all.
01:24:58.260 It's like Zelensky sometimes.
01:25:00.220 Sometimes.
01:25:00.880 Because other times, you just, you don't do the extra Y.
01:25:03.300 You don't do the extra Y.
01:25:03.940 I don't know what determines that.
01:25:05.660 No one knows.
01:25:06.460 Nobody knows.
01:25:06.900 No one knows.
01:25:07.340 But we do know Sexy Red.
01:25:08.520 Now, Sexy Red is a rapper.
01:25:10.160 And now she is, some people say, wait, I don't even know who Sexy Red is.
01:25:16.240 Why are they talking about this?
01:25:18.300 She's the author and artist behind Poundtown.
01:25:22.360 Duh.
01:25:22.920 So now you know, obviously.
01:25:24.580 Oh, Poundtown.
01:25:25.040 Poundtown.
01:25:25.720 That's my favorite song.
01:25:26.820 Now, I can't read you any of the lyrics from the song Poundtown.
01:25:33.520 Because we will lose our FCC license.
01:25:36.620 And we were kicked off immediately from the air.
01:25:39.020 So I can't actually tell you.
01:25:40.760 But if you would like to go listen to Poundtown, you could do that on any major streaming device.
01:25:45.860 I would say you could listen to the clean version.
01:25:47.440 But I can't imagine one exists.
01:25:49.620 Because it would just be silence.
01:25:51.240 So you might think the first part of the story is not going to surprise you.
01:25:57.540 Because the author of the song Poundtown has shockingly had a sex tape which has leaked.
01:26:06.260 Now, this is, I mean, wow, a stunner.
01:26:10.700 Yeah.
01:26:11.180 You know, you wouldn't think the author of Poundtown would have a song that, or have a sex tape that would be leaked.
01:26:18.740 Because why would she be engaged in such things?
01:26:20.600 Right, right.
01:26:21.600 You think of her as a very...
01:26:22.720 Completely out of character.
01:26:23.600 Out of character.
01:26:24.540 Mm-hmm.
01:26:25.080 Right.
01:26:25.640 But someone apparently filmed her having sex with some gentleman.
01:26:30.000 Oh, wow.
01:26:31.180 And released it.
01:26:32.400 Now, again, we have a twist in the story here, Pat.
01:26:35.520 Because let's just say some are...
01:26:39.900 Some...
01:26:40.620 Let's think about the history of the sex tape being released, right?
01:26:43.960 What happens in that scenario?
01:26:45.360 There's a sex tape that is filmed, usually, sometimes without someone's consent.
01:26:50.660 That's obviously really, really bad.
01:26:52.320 Sometimes with the person's consent.
01:26:53.780 But then the other party in the tape releases it.
01:26:56.880 Mm-hmm.
01:26:57.160 Or someone hacks into a phone, gets control of a sex tape, and then releases it online or tries to make money off of it.
01:27:04.200 Mm-hmm.
01:27:04.440 We've seen this pattern play out many, many times.
01:27:06.580 I do not think I've seen this particular pattern play out, though.
01:27:11.280 Because the sexy red sex tape was released on sexy red's own Instagram feed.
01:27:21.380 Now, wow.
01:27:24.900 She claims she did not release her sex tape intentionally to draw attention to herself.
01:27:31.620 She says she would never do such a thing.
01:27:33.640 And, of course, I believe her because the author of Poundtown would be out of her character to release a sex tape on her own Instagram feed.
01:27:42.860 However, she claims she didn't do it.
01:27:45.240 And you might say this is a little Anthony Wiener-esque as far as convincing me of this.
01:27:52.460 Maybe you don't believe it.
01:27:54.460 But it is a very, very strange thing.
01:27:56.780 You'd think maybe the author of Poundtown just says, yeah, I did it because I thought it was awesome.
01:28:00.540 You know, like you'd almost kind of think that would be her attitude here.
01:28:03.060 But, no, she's saying she did not do it.
01:28:05.660 But that's not the story here.
01:28:08.100 All that is just set up to the actual story.
01:28:13.520 And it's a fascinating one because it seems our own sexy red may get canceled.
01:28:23.480 She may get canceled.
01:28:24.560 And you might think, well, why does she get canceled?
01:28:25.940 Because she released a sex tape on her own Instagram feed?
01:28:28.300 No, of course not.
01:28:30.520 That's going to do nothing but endear her to her legions of fans.
01:28:35.940 However, she did something that crossed the line.
01:28:39.200 And you might know that the line for sexy red is way out there.
01:28:44.240 It's like a really, it's a distant line.
01:28:46.680 But she crossed it.
01:28:48.080 We have the audio of her crossing the line.
01:28:50.500 Are you ready to hear sexy red discussing her, the end of her career?
01:28:56.160 She did the one thing you cannot do in today's society.
01:29:01.340 Here it is.
01:29:02.640 Do you think more people are going to support Trump now?
01:29:04.700 I like Trump.
01:29:05.280 Yeah, they support him in the hood.
01:29:07.800 Because at first, I don't think people was fucking with him like they thought he was racist,
01:29:13.260 saying little shit and, you know, against women.
01:29:16.040 But once he started getting black people out of jail and giving people their free money,
01:29:20.580 oh, baby, we love Trump.
01:29:21.740 We need him back in office.
01:29:23.220 Yeah, a little bit of free money goes a long way.
01:29:25.280 We need him back.
01:29:26.220 Because, baby, them checks.
01:29:28.260 Oh, yes, them stimulus checks.
01:29:30.000 Trump, we miss you.
01:29:31.160 That's like, whoa, Vicky, she's always talking about Trump.
01:29:33.320 You see her ever?
01:29:33.980 I like Trump.
01:29:34.780 No, I ain't never seen what he did.
01:29:35.860 She's funny.
01:29:36.840 I love Trump, though.
01:29:37.720 He's funny to me.
01:29:38.740 Like, I used to watch his interviews, not interviews, like, him talking to people.
01:29:42.700 He used to be calling people fat.
01:29:44.020 Yeah.
01:29:44.500 He just funny.
01:29:45.820 He funny.
01:29:47.300 There you go.
01:29:48.220 So, she did the one thing you're not allowed to do.
01:29:51.020 She's a Trump supporter.
01:29:52.420 She likes Trump.
01:29:53.500 She likes Trump.
01:29:54.160 Oh, man.
01:29:54.700 So, therefore, she must be excommunicated from society.
01:29:59.520 Not the sex tape, not pound town.
01:30:02.280 You're right.
01:30:02.680 But the fact that she likes Trump means she should be excommunicated.
01:30:06.900 And yet another layer to the story.
01:30:09.540 This is one of the most layered stories we've dealt with all week.
01:30:12.440 We've talked about Ukraine.
01:30:13.460 We've talked about the Speaker of the House.
01:30:14.840 We've talked about the border.
01:30:15.980 We've talked about lots of stuff.
01:30:16.700 This is by far the most interesting story of the week to me.
01:30:19.920 Why?
01:30:21.700 It's also fascinating about what she likes about Trump.
01:30:26.860 What she likes about Trump is that he gives her free money.
01:30:32.540 He lets black people out of jail.
01:30:40.000 He gives them checks, them stimulus checks.
01:30:43.860 Okay.
01:30:44.460 And he calls people fat.
01:30:46.320 I mean, how is this not a Trump campaign commercial yet?
01:30:54.560 Right.
01:30:54.900 Hi, I'm Donald Trump.
01:30:56.140 I will give you free money.
01:30:57.400 I'll let black people out of jail.
01:30:59.080 You'll get lots of stimulus checks and I'll call people fat.
01:31:01.760 Vote for me.
01:31:05.480 That's a campaign.
01:31:07.060 Sure is.
01:31:07.700 Now, one, who is a conservative persuasion, might be a little concerned that a bunch of
01:31:18.280 stimulus checks, not holding people accountable for crimes, the fat part I'm pretty much fine
01:31:25.100 with.
01:31:25.400 But other than that, the other stuff that she likes about Trump, I would not say are on
01:31:29.780 the top echelons of the things that I like about Trump.
01:31:33.340 I mean, if black people are innocent, of course they should be let out of jail.
01:31:37.360 They should probably face the consequences of their actions, whether they're black or
01:31:42.380 white.
01:31:43.460 That one, you know, not my favorite policy of Trump's.
01:31:48.760 Secondarily, giving free money and stimulus checks, very much not my favorite policy of
01:31:56.060 Trump's.
01:31:56.920 No.
01:31:57.380 So, I don't know.
01:31:59.400 You know, look, Sexy Red is one of our leaders when it comes to political analysis.
01:32:05.460 And clearly a national treasure.
01:32:06.880 And then that, you know, let's not forget that part.
01:32:10.480 Unquestionably a national treasure.
01:32:11.980 I mean, just Poundtown alone gets you to that level, let alone the sex tape, let alone the
01:32:17.620 desire for free money and stimulus checks.
01:32:21.940 She's an American dream, may come true.
01:32:23.960 Yes.
01:32:24.280 So, we can all unite there.
01:32:26.600 But, I mean, would this, if you're the average voter, does this change the way you're looking?
01:32:32.440 Like, if you were, hey, I thought DeSantis might be pretty good, but, you know, Trump gives
01:32:37.440 out those checks and calls people fat.
01:32:39.600 So, now I'm on the borderline.
01:32:42.880 Would that be the type of thing you think the decision-making process, like in a state
01:32:46.440 like Iowa, do you think they're looking at this and they're saying, oh, definitely.
01:32:49.120 Yeah, definitely.
01:32:49.620 No, I was a big Pence supporter yesterday, but now, how can I?
01:32:54.220 Sexy Red's kind of won me over.
01:32:55.700 Kind of won her.
01:32:56.220 On the Trump train.
01:32:57.100 Mm-hmm.
01:32:57.700 Yeah.
01:32:58.000 I would definitely look for that clip to be in an ad for Trump any day now.
01:33:03.000 So, I'll bet, like a lot of her base is really pissed at her.
01:33:07.020 I mean, that's a real thing.
01:33:08.340 Yeah, it does seem like she's getting, you know.
01:33:12.080 A lot of flack.
01:33:12.680 Again, for all the other stuff she's done in her life, this is the thing that she's getting
01:33:15.560 a lot of flack for.
01:33:16.320 How dare you say you like Trump?
01:33:19.440 What an incredible civilization we have going right now.
01:33:22.580 It is amazing.
01:33:23.400 Isn't it?
01:33:23.560 And I will say it's also interesting that, you know, look, again, we could overanalyze.
01:33:28.380 Maybe we have overanalyzed the sexy red commentary here.
01:33:31.200 But I do think there is an aspect of this where it's just people remembering that the economy
01:33:34.940 used to be good.
01:33:36.140 Yeah.
01:33:36.440 Right?
01:33:36.680 Like, hey, I remember that.
01:33:38.140 I remember what didn't feel like, when Bidenomics wasn't here and things felt pretty good.
01:33:44.180 I mean, I don't think there's a hugely deep analysis there, but I do think that feeling
01:33:50.800 is real among voters.
01:33:53.560 Who might have problems with Donald Trump on a bunch of different stuff, but just say,
01:33:57.780 at least I have money in my bank account.
01:34:00.780 Yeah.
01:34:01.080 And I can make my own decisions on stuff.
01:34:03.420 And that goes a long way for people.
01:34:05.800 Yeah.
01:34:06.380 Absolutely.
01:34:07.440 All right.
01:34:07.760 888-727-BECK.
01:34:09.720 More coming up in one minute.
01:34:13.720 Ever since he tried the Rough Greens for the first time, my dog, Uno, has changed.
01:34:17.960 He's a completely different dog.
01:34:19.800 I hear from people all the time in the audience.
01:34:22.740 I mean, hundreds and hundreds of letters have come in who have had the same experience with
01:34:27.040 their dog.
01:34:27.460 They've heard me talk about Rough Greens on the show.
01:34:29.240 They get some for themselves.
01:34:30.580 And as soon as they sprinkle it on the dog's food, the dog literally wolfs it down.
01:34:34.760 And it's really good for him.
01:34:35.960 It's not a dog food.
01:34:36.880 It's just chock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and omega oils that you sprinkle.
01:34:41.420 Your dog needs these things to be healthy.
01:34:43.920 My dog was easy.
01:34:45.240 From the first time he tried Rough Greens, Uno was in love.
01:34:48.280 Some dogs take a little bit to get used to the new flavor, though.
01:34:51.220 Dr. Dennis Black, the inventor of Rough Greens, was on the phone with me last week.
01:34:54.980 He doesn't want that to be a reason for you not to try.
01:34:57.220 So right now, he's got a special gift available.
01:34:59.360 You can get a free bag of Rough Greens for your dog just to try out.
01:35:03.740 All you pay is shipping.
01:35:04.900 Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833-GLEN-33.
01:35:09.640 Put it on your dog's food and begin to watch your dog become healthier.
01:35:14.240 10 seconds, Station ID.
01:35:25.000 All right.
01:35:25.640 Now, some have claimed that they've debunked Sexy Red's portrayal of Donald Trump's presidency.
01:35:33.420 That's right.
01:35:34.060 But they really haven't.
01:35:35.360 I would argue no.
01:35:36.360 Now, again, we're going into deep.
01:35:39.160 I hope this is not too deep for the audience to follow because this sort of economic analysis
01:35:46.160 can get into the weeds a little bit.
01:35:47.840 And I hope you can stick with us.
01:35:49.940 But Hot 97 and Apple Music's Ebro Darden.
01:35:53.560 Oh, wow.
01:35:54.960 Wow.
01:35:55.940 Economist.
01:35:56.700 Yeah.
01:35:57.040 As well.
01:35:57.500 Also, this is according to the article.
01:36:00.120 He debunked Red's thoughts with, quote, clearly some people don't know how the stimulus checks
01:36:09.140 worked, whose money it actually was slash is, and how it got distributed.
01:36:14.940 Dot, dot, dot.
01:36:16.380 People believe anything.
01:36:18.400 Now.
01:36:18.600 Wow.
01:36:18.760 That's deep.
01:36:19.460 That's not a thorough debunking of the point.
01:36:21.760 You don't think so?
01:36:22.240 Oh, and what's hilarious about this is it's just a point to say, not that stimulus checks
01:36:27.060 are a bad idea.
01:36:28.200 It seems to just be that, like, no, you shouldn't give Trump the credit for them.
01:36:32.520 Yeah.
01:36:32.900 Right?
01:36:33.380 Right.
01:36:33.680 Now, when he says whose money it actually was, I'll tell you who's, first of all, it's
01:36:37.980 probably China's, or it was printed, or it was mine.
01:36:42.360 It was yours, Pat.
01:36:43.720 It was everyone in this audience who funded all of that so that people could get free money
01:36:48.680 and free checks.
01:36:50.540 Yep.
01:36:50.940 So, I look at this as actually a negative on Trump's presidential record, which obviously
01:36:55.620 there was a lot of positive as well, but Trump never prioritized spending.
01:37:00.540 He never cared about it.
01:37:02.380 No.
01:37:02.560 He never, I mean, he.
01:37:03.820 That's true.
01:37:04.400 Ran as a candidate who said, I will never touch an entitlement program, right?
01:37:09.020 Like, that was, obviously, he went outside the norms of Republican thought at that time,
01:37:14.520 paid off for him, won the election, won the primary, but not my favorite part of his presidency
01:37:19.720 by any means.
01:37:20.960 And I guess I have a fundamental disagreement with both Sexy Red and Apple Music's Ebro
01:37:25.940 Darden about that fact.
01:37:28.820 It's a fascinating thing.
01:37:30.100 The world works in so many interesting ways.
01:37:32.540 And, you know, sometimes.
01:37:33.260 It does.
01:37:33.700 You go into a day thinking, I agree with everything Sexy Red says.
01:37:37.400 And at the end of the day, hey, we have a slight disagreement on one issue.
01:37:40.580 Yeah.
01:37:41.020 There you go.
01:37:41.780 We can easily overlook that, though, because we're such fans.
01:37:45.620 Yeah.
01:37:46.120 Of Sexy Red.
01:37:47.260 Yeah.
01:37:47.500 I mean, look, it's not going to hurt my opinion of her music.
01:37:49.580 No.
01:37:49.980 That stands alone.
01:37:50.520 Especially her early works, you know?
01:37:52.880 Like the acoustic sets?
01:37:54.000 Yeah.
01:37:54.340 Oh, man.
01:37:55.260 When she does Poundtown acoustically.
01:37:59.060 Oh, man.
01:38:00.880 Remember she was in the same studio that the Beatles recorded it, and that was incredible.
01:38:07.360 I wept.
01:38:08.940 I wept.
01:38:09.760 It was so moving.
01:38:11.080 So, yeah.
01:38:12.900 You know, look, she's an incredible artist, an incredible political commentator.
01:38:19.860 And, look, she's got some pretty amazing stuff.
01:38:24.920 Now, we know, obviously, Poundtown.
01:38:26.740 Obviously.
01:38:27.420 But a lot of people don't know about Poundtown 2.
01:38:30.740 Oh, Poundtown 2.
01:38:31.080 There's a sequel to Poundtown called Poundtown 2.
01:38:34.540 There's also a song, and this one is one of my favorites, because it hits me to my core.
01:38:44.940 You know how some songs just hit you where you live?
01:38:47.160 Yeah.
01:38:47.640 This one did that for me.
01:38:49.160 It's called Nachos.
01:38:51.000 Nachos?
01:38:51.740 Nachos.
01:38:52.160 Yeah.
01:38:52.580 One of my favorite things in the whole world.
01:38:54.440 Right.
01:38:54.880 She has a song about it.
01:38:56.560 Now, this is from her album.
01:38:58.420 Again, I'm saying this for the audience.
01:39:00.060 I know you know, Pat.
01:39:00.720 But this is from her album, Hood Hottest Princess.
01:39:05.120 So, that's good for her.
01:39:06.760 That's good.
01:39:07.260 Now, some of the songs, I can't give you the titles to, because they have a lot of swears in them.
01:39:14.140 But we have, what about Strictly for the Strippers?
01:39:17.340 How do you feel about that?
01:39:18.180 You entered that one?
01:39:19.600 Oh, it's one of my favorites.
01:39:21.920 Strictly for the Strippers?
01:39:22.920 Yeah.
01:39:23.320 Yeah.
01:39:23.680 Yeah, it's good.
01:39:24.600 What about Chicken Chicken?
01:39:26.660 Love Chicken Chicken.
01:39:27.720 Yeah.
01:39:29.120 Chicken Too Tasty.
01:39:30.120 Love Chicken Chicken.
01:39:32.240 We have A Thousand Jugs, which is a great...
01:39:37.120 Again, so many more of these would be so good if I could say them.
01:39:46.700 I can't legally say them, unfortunately.
01:39:48.740 You misled us, Stu.
01:39:50.760 And I want to point this out about Poundtown and not being able to recite any of the lyrics.
01:39:56.100 That is completely untrue.
01:39:57.440 Let me read for you the first stanza.
01:40:01.080 I will remind you of our responsibilities as broadcasters.
01:40:03.420 Okay.
01:40:03.820 And I'm fully aware.
01:40:04.700 Okay.
01:40:05.720 Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:40:08.140 Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
01:40:10.940 I'm out of town, thugging with my rounds.
01:40:15.940 Now, I do need to stop there.
01:40:17.560 But there are some lyrics that you can, in fact, read to Poundtown.
01:40:23.700 And here's the thing.
01:40:24.340 You might be thinking, like, well, they're probably, like, really sexualized lyrics.
01:40:27.200 And yes, they are.
01:40:28.740 And you might be thinking, oh, there's a lot of swears in there.
01:40:30.500 The very next line.
01:40:31.420 And that's also true.
01:40:32.280 Mm-hmm.
01:40:32.780 Yes.
01:40:33.120 But what you're probably not factoring is how many N-words we'd have to skip.
01:40:36.880 Yeah, quite a few.
01:40:37.340 Because there's a lot of that in there, too.
01:40:39.540 Quite a few.
01:40:39.660 So there's, like, almost nothing we can say.
01:40:41.460 But Pat did find the one part.
01:40:44.840 There's also, I will say, a lot of words I don't.
01:40:46.740 Oh, man.
01:40:47.180 And this is going to admit something about myself.
01:40:49.360 But there's a lot of words I don't understand in the lyrics.
01:40:54.120 Really?
01:40:54.260 See, Poundtown and many of her other songs.
01:40:55.820 They're words that I would argue maybe are made up.
01:40:58.700 But also, I don't know what they mean.
01:41:00.260 So I don't know if I can say them.
01:41:02.000 That's a whole other layer of this.
01:41:05.000 Yeah, I was a little hesitant on I'm thugging with my rounds.
01:41:10.140 Because I don't really know what that means.
01:41:12.580 Right.
01:41:12.760 I'm afraid.
01:41:13.600 So maybe it was something.
01:41:15.000 Like, you may have said the worst thing ever uttered on radio and don't even know it.
01:41:18.900 Like, I don't know.
01:41:19.920 I don't even know it.
01:41:21.260 Right.
01:41:21.700 You might get canceled for that sentence.
01:41:24.080 And you'd be completely unaware of why.
01:41:28.300 And that's why I didn't want to read any of them.
01:41:31.100 That would be really unfortunate, frankly.
01:41:33.080 It's unfair.
01:41:33.900 Just like it is unfair to Sexy Red.
01:41:35.960 Yes.
01:41:36.420 Who didn't know she would get canceled for saying she was a Trump supporter?
01:41:39.200 No, clearly she didn't.
01:41:40.900 All she does is like a president who's going to call people fat.
01:41:44.080 Right.
01:41:44.340 What's wrong with that?
01:41:45.360 Nothing.
01:41:46.280 I mean, this is America.
01:41:47.800 Yeah.
01:41:48.060 If you can't call Chris Christie fat, what kind of country is this?
01:41:52.900 You know?
01:41:53.240 And poor Sexy Red is feeling the heat from this.
01:41:56.200 And I think it's wrong.
01:41:57.740 We're going to start a GoFundMe for Sexy Red coming up.
01:42:00.860 We'll give you the details on that.
01:42:02.680 You need to support her.
01:42:03.740 Yeah, absolutely.
01:42:04.400 You know, she's just trying to get to Poundtown.
01:42:07.400 Get to Poundtown, get home.
01:42:08.660 That's all she wants.
01:42:10.360 And who can blame her?
01:42:11.680 Right.

01:43:19.220 Glenn Beck.
01:43:22.000 Avoiding the woke mainstream messaging in favor of truth.
01:43:25.980 More Glenn Beck in a moment.
01:43:33.500 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
01:43:35.920 There's more outrage over yet another transgendered person who is competing against girls.
01:43:44.660 This time in Maine, at the XC Festival of Champions last Saturday, Maine Coast Waldorf High School sophomore, Soren Stark Chesa previously competed in the boys category for the school just a year ago and was ranked 172nd.
01:44:04.400 Okay, so not very good.
01:44:06.020 Not very good.
01:44:08.020 After the transition.
01:44:09.260 So wait, hold on.
01:44:10.180 You're going to give this away here.
01:44:11.700 After the transition, there's no, now if I think about the science here, there's no evidence that he would improve going to the female side.
01:44:20.420 So I would assume, if I were to guess.
01:44:22.140 I mean, they're just, okay.
01:44:23.240 What would you assume?
01:44:24.820 172nd.
01:44:25.620 Okay, no.
01:44:26.840 Just slightly higher than that.
01:44:28.780 Wow.
01:44:29.240 Number four in the girls division.
01:44:31.380 Number four.
01:44:31.820 So 172nd to number four, but there's no evidence.
01:44:35.460 So it's a little bit of improvement, but yeah, again, there's no evidence.
01:44:38.620 Just like there's no evidence that Joe Biden was involved in anything with Hunter Biden.
01:44:41.980 Thank you.
01:44:42.660 No evidence.
01:44:43.400 No evidence that he ever was involved in any of the business partners.
01:44:46.740 That's correct.
01:44:47.400 And there's no evidence at all.
01:44:49.220 Science teaches us quite clearly that there's no difference physically between men and women, boys and girls.
01:44:57.560 Especially when it comes to physical competition.
01:44:59.860 Right.
01:45:00.180 There's just no difference.
01:45:01.360 No difference.
01:45:01.820 Same exact thing.
01:45:03.140 That's why we see examples, so many examples of biological females who have made the transition to male who then compete against men in men's sports.
01:45:15.620 So many of them.
01:45:15.960 And we see so many of these biological females dominate men in men's sports.
01:45:22.060 Right.
01:45:22.380 Like that was that one case where a woman was ranked like, you know, 172nd and then went over to the men's division was fourth.
01:45:33.780 That happens a lot.
01:45:34.940 And then, yeah, except for, well, I don't remember, I don't remember, there's no example of that.
01:45:39.500 Never.
01:45:40.160 Not even one.
01:45:40.940 No, there's not one.
01:45:42.800 There has to be one.
01:45:43.540 There's not one that I know of, but I'd love to hear of one.
01:45:46.880 If anybody has an example.
01:45:48.400 Legitimately, that would be fascinating.
01:45:49.320 I would, I'd be really interested in that.
01:45:51.320 Is it possible?
01:45:52.040 Like, just think of this out.
01:45:53.360 Like, maybe something like, like gymnastics or something?
01:45:57.520 I don't know.
01:45:58.180 Probably not.
01:45:59.440 Probably not.
01:46:00.020 No, because I think like, while, like the typical female gymnastic, gymnastic participant is so much more flexible than a man with the same athletic ability.
01:46:12.580 Yeah.
01:46:13.200 The men who can actually do gymnastics are spectacular at these things.
01:46:18.160 Yeah.
01:46:18.300 And arguably are as good or better than women.
01:46:22.400 But they do different things than women do.
01:46:24.560 But like, they do like the crazy vaulting, for example.
01:46:26.880 Like, again, I don't know enough about gymnastics to know, but they do the bars.
01:46:30.800 They do all sorts of, a lot of the same events.
01:46:33.080 Yeah.
01:46:33.340 I don't think if, if Simone Biles went over to men's gymnastics, would she be a great men's gymnast?
01:46:39.460 I don't know.
01:46:40.380 I mean, I just don't know.
01:46:41.380 I think so, but.
01:46:42.340 I will say, I have a daughter who does gymnastics.
01:46:45.380 And while, and she seems to be pretty good.
01:46:48.240 Like, she's, she made the nationals last year and she's doing really well.
01:46:53.200 And she'd only been doing it for a couple, you know, a couple of years.
01:46:55.220 Um, and every part of what she does, all of the things that she does are all things there has not been one day in my life I could do.
01:47:06.000 All of them are so foreign and look completely impossible for a human being to accomplish.
01:47:13.880 That I, there was never a day that I could do any of the things she does.
01:47:20.280 Like, it's legitimately true.
01:47:23.220 But female, male gymnasts can do those things, right?
01:47:27.120 Like, they, at least a lot of them.
01:47:29.700 Unlike a floor routine, they can do the twisting and turning and jumping.
01:47:33.700 Like, my daughter will just be talking to me, like, you know, she's, she's 10.
01:47:36.400 We're in the middle of a conversation.
01:47:37.540 And she's telling me a story and then all of a sudden she'll just sort of start bending backwards.
01:47:42.620 And then all of a sudden her hands will be on the floor.
01:47:46.480 And she's just a, like, like the letter U upside down.
01:47:51.460 And her, her hands and her feet are still on the floor, but she's bent completely backwards.
01:47:56.040 And you're saying.
01:47:56.600 It looks like it's something out of the ring.
01:47:57.880 You can't do that?
01:47:59.260 I cannot.
01:48:00.180 Wow.
01:48:00.520 I can safely say, not only can I not do it now at 47 years old, but there has never been a day in my life that I could do it.
01:48:09.920 Hmm.
01:48:10.620 That's weird.
01:48:11.180 Beginning to end.
01:48:12.200 That's weird.
01:48:12.800 I will never get there.
01:48:14.220 Huh.
01:48:14.480 So, maybe there's something.
01:48:15.600 But, like, the tennis one is an interesting example of this, right?
01:48:19.600 Where, like, tennis, I actually prefer watching women's tennis over men's tennis.
01:48:23.460 Because men's tennis is just 140 mile an hour serves for aces every point.
01:48:28.020 Right?
01:48:28.160 Like, there's nothing, nothing happens.
01:48:30.460 You know, again, it's just, there's not a lot of points.
01:48:33.760 I love the tennis example, though.
01:48:36.480 Yeah.
01:48:36.600 Because we have hardcore proof that what we say is backed up by absolute fact.
01:48:45.220 Mm-hmm.
01:48:45.600 Proven fact.
01:48:48.140 In fact, we had, we had, was it, some pundit from MSNBC or CNN, I forget which, Kelly Robinson,
01:48:58.840 talking about how there isn't evidence of this, of, like, you know, men and women, they're
01:49:04.780 the same.
01:49:05.620 And if you had, if you put Serena Williams up against a man, she could easily compete with
01:49:13.380 him.
01:49:13.460 Well, I can say that, you know, there's been this news article about men that think that
01:49:17.020 they could beat Serena Williams in tennis, right?
01:49:19.880 Right.
01:49:19.960 That they think that they could actually score a point on her.
01:49:22.360 Right.
01:49:22.720 And it's just not the case.
01:49:24.300 She is stronger than that.
01:49:25.480 What's your...
01:49:26.180 Oh.
01:49:26.420 Well, let's ask Serena Williams herself about that comment.
01:49:31.900 I'm like, if I were to play Andy Murray, I would lose 6-0, 6-0 in five to six minutes,
01:49:37.900 maybe 10 minutes.
01:49:39.580 No, it's true.
01:49:40.820 It's true.
01:49:41.080 Honestly, really?
01:49:42.380 It's a completely difference where the men are a lot faster and they get, they serve
01:49:48.780 harder, they hit harder.
01:49:49.600 It's just a different game.
01:49:51.020 Oh.
01:49:51.460 Oh.
01:49:51.900 Huh.
01:49:52.180 That's weird.
01:49:52.800 Weird that she would think that.
01:49:53.900 The greatest tennis player of all time, arguably.
01:49:55.900 And then she played the 203rd ranked man in the world.
01:50:00.800 203rd.
01:50:01.520 Now, this was because they were at the U.S. Open in, I think it was 97.
01:50:06.680 97 or 98, she and Venus were talking to each other and the guy standing behind them heard
01:50:12.660 it.
01:50:13.020 He was the 203rd ranked man in the world.
01:50:15.300 They said they could beat anybody in the top 200.
01:50:19.300 I think it was outside of the top 200.
01:50:22.200 Yes, it was.
01:50:22.840 It was anybody outside the top 200.
01:50:24.740 So, at number 203, he's outside the top 200.
01:50:28.040 He played them both, beat them both badly.
01:50:30.100 6-1, I think, in one case and 6-2 in the other.
01:50:32.640 They just played once that.
01:50:34.240 But he destroyed them.
01:50:35.560 And he said he didn't serve his hardest because he wanted it to be more competitive.
01:50:39.020 So, that was absolute hardcore proof that what they said at the time, and they learned, you
01:50:49.720 know, they learned.
01:50:50.480 There was also a, didn't the women's national soccer team play, like, a bunch of high school
01:50:56.000 kids?
01:50:56.900 Here in Dallas.
01:50:57.820 Yeah.
01:50:58.160 The women's national soccer team played the boys, Dallas 14 and unders.
01:51:04.440 Not even high school.
01:51:05.420 14 and under.
01:51:07.940 And lost 5-1.
01:51:11.140 Lost 5-1.
01:51:14.720 That's a blowout in soccer.
01:51:17.120 Like, if you were to put that in, like, NFL terms, it would be, like, 3,000 to nothing.
01:51:21.900 That's, that's, it would be the same thing as a, five goals in a game.
01:51:26.520 I don't think it's ever happened before.
01:51:28.040 I could be wrong on that.
01:51:29.860 Right.
01:51:30.160 Well, the women's team also went to England fairly recently.
01:51:33.720 I think this was just in the last six months to a year.
01:51:36.760 Yeah, yeah.
01:51:37.220 And played a series of three matches against some of the teams in the Premier League and
01:51:42.500 just got destroyed.
01:51:44.360 Just got destroyed to the point they called the match.
01:51:46.360 Yeah.
01:51:46.820 They actually ended it early.
01:51:48.120 After 37 minutes, the, one of the teams, and I, I don't remember which English team it
01:51:53.920 was, but they beat them 12 to nothing in 37 minutes.
01:51:57.360 It wasn't like Manchester United.
01:51:59.040 It wasn't, it wasn't one of the top teams.
01:52:00.480 No, it wasn't one of the top teams in the Premier League.
01:52:02.860 It was just a team.
01:52:04.100 And they played three of them and they lost by a combined 25 to 1 in those three games.
01:52:08.520 Was it Wrexham?
01:52:09.460 Wrexham, this is the team that, I don't know, people are telling me it might be Wrexham
01:52:13.380 in the other room.
01:52:13.920 Wrexham is the team owned by Rob McElhaney and Ryan Reynolds.
01:52:18.560 Oh.
01:52:19.040 So I don't know if it was that one.
01:52:20.760 I don't know either, but it was ugly.
01:52:22.240 But again, Wrexham, you know, I watched a little of that documentary, which was pretty,
01:52:25.420 pretty interesting of them buying that team and going through it.
01:52:28.180 And I don't know much about the, you know, European soccer.
01:52:30.540 I don't either.
01:52:31.240 They do have one cool thing that I think would be nice to adopt in one of our, one of our
01:52:35.660 real leagues of real sports, which is the thing where like, if you finish dead last, you go
01:52:40.000 to another division.
01:52:40.960 Yeah.
01:52:41.260 And if you finish first in the under division, you move up, which is pretty fun.
01:52:44.920 So they were able to move up, I think this past season up to the, whatever the higher
01:52:49.300 division is.
01:52:49.900 I don't think it's even premier.
01:52:50.980 I think they were down two divisions.
01:52:52.660 Champions League.
01:52:53.580 No?
01:52:54.140 Yes.
01:52:54.480 No, no, no.
01:52:54.940 Okay.
01:52:55.220 I don't know.
01:52:55.620 Believe me.
01:52:56.560 Us talking about soccer is like sexy red talking about politics.
01:53:00.040 So I don't know that we should be doing it, but it is fascinating to watch because, and
01:53:06.200 here's another layer of it being fascinating, Pat.
01:53:08.660 Pat, what you have given this half hour is an excellent argument proving the fact that
01:53:14.800 there is a major difference between men and women in sports.
01:53:17.780 But what's fascinating about that is that you have to give it.
01:53:21.240 There is, everyone knows what you're saying is true, including the idiot you just played
01:53:27.380 from MSNBC, who also knows what she's saying is idiotic, but they are just trying to make
01:53:33.320 this weird mythical world become reality.
01:53:37.740 Yeah.
01:53:37.840 It's not.
01:53:38.660 Right.
01:53:39.060 It doesn't mean women are less than men as individuals.
01:53:42.300 No, not at all.
01:53:43.100 It just means that they're not as good at sports.
01:53:44.780 And we all know they're not as good at sports.
01:53:46.440 We can also probably all admit that white people aren't as good at basketball as black
01:53:50.640 people.
01:53:51.060 I don't know why that is.
01:53:52.080 I don't either.
01:53:52.900 I don't know what the reason for that is.
01:53:54.280 It's obviously true.
01:53:54.700 But it's obviously true.
01:53:56.180 80% of the NBA is African American in a nation with 12% African Americans.
01:54:04.040 That's really good evidence that they're really good at that sport.
01:54:06.900 I don't know why.
01:54:07.640 I don't know why.
01:54:09.200 It might be cultural.
01:54:10.400 It might be something to do with their physical makeup.
01:54:13.620 I don't know what it is.
01:54:15.100 But man, it certainly seems to be true.
01:54:17.100 But it's obvious.
01:54:17.620 We can all admit it.
01:54:18.840 There was a movie called White Men Can't Jump that at the time we all kind of just said,
01:54:23.120 yeah, they really can't.
01:54:24.600 That's kind of true.
01:54:26.560 It doesn't mean that white people are bad because of it.
01:54:29.480 It just means people are different.
01:54:31.400 And we used to be able to admit that in our country.
01:54:34.200 And you know who else knows this?
01:54:35.420 Martina Navratilova.
01:54:37.240 She keeps talking about it.
01:54:38.740 One of the greatest women's tennis players of all time.
01:54:42.380 I mean, she was really good.
01:54:44.640 Really good.
01:54:45.060 And she just destroyed opponents back in her day.
01:54:51.060 And she's also a pioneer.
01:54:53.340 She is obviously a lesbian woman who kind of plowed that territory, plowed that ground.
01:55:02.340 And, you know, cleared the way for a lot of other people to be open about their sexuality.
01:55:09.680 Sure.
01:55:10.360 But she's not open to the fact that women, that men should compete against women.
01:55:16.320 And she says it all the time.
01:55:18.640 Yeah.
01:55:18.960 Very brave way.
01:55:20.880 Very brave.
01:55:21.400 Honestly, because you get, this is the type of thing you get destroyed for.
01:55:24.520 Now, you know, she has a very strange intersectional relationship with the media.
01:55:28.900 And that, like, they used to just praise her all the time.
01:55:31.420 Now they just, I feel like they've just come to the point of indifference with her.
01:55:33.920 They won't say good or bad things about her anymore.
01:55:36.640 Yeah.
01:55:36.960 They can't praise her anymore because she's saying stuff that's out of the line.
01:55:40.460 But I also think she's got enough points built up over the years that they don't want to completely trash her either.
01:55:45.420 And she's 66 now.
01:55:46.920 What are you going to say about her?
01:55:48.100 What are you going to say about Martina Navratilova?
01:55:49.840 What does she care?
01:55:50.260 No, she's a hater.
01:55:51.820 She's just a nasty hater.
01:55:54.920 Really?
01:55:55.820 Is she?
01:55:56.540 Is she?
01:55:57.100 Yeah.
01:55:57.460 I don't think so.
01:55:59.200 I think what she's saying is common sense and the truth.
01:56:05.220 And you just don't want to hear it.
01:56:07.260 So.
01:56:07.520 And something that every single person knows.
01:56:10.340 Yeah.
01:56:10.640 They all know it's true.
01:56:12.100 Yeah.
01:56:12.240 This is what's so weird about our society right now.
01:56:14.300 It's not like, it's not like, you know, minimum wage.
01:56:16.540 We're like, I say, hey, we shouldn't, we should have a lower or no minimum wage federally.
01:56:20.120 And they say, oh, well, you need one.
01:56:22.040 And we go back and forth because they really believe what they need.
01:56:24.580 I think they really believe that we need one, even though I think they're wrong.
01:56:28.100 And I think the evidence shows it doesn't work.
01:56:30.060 And I really believe that we don't.
01:56:31.640 That's not the case with this trans stuff.
01:56:33.760 They also know what we know.
01:56:36.320 Absolutely, they do.
01:56:37.320 They totally know what we're saying is true.
01:56:40.620 Yeah.
01:56:40.860 And yet they go out there every day and say the opposite anyway.
01:56:43.460 Yep.

01:58:06.540 Pat, can we end the day with a moment of heroism from Al Michaels?
01:58:23.680 Oh.
01:58:23.960 This is something you might not know about.
01:58:26.060 And I didn't know about it until today either, but it's one of the greatest achievements, I think, of humankind.
01:58:31.720 Are you ready for it?
01:58:32.460 I am.
01:58:32.780 Here's Al Michaels talking to Chris Wallace.
01:58:34.580 Is it true that you have never knowingly eaten a vegetable in your life?
01:58:40.200 That is true.
01:58:41.000 That is true.
01:58:41.680 I was born when my parents were 18 and my mother hadn't even read Dr. Spock at that point.
01:58:46.960 So, she just let me have the run of the course.
01:58:53.440 And I always push the vegetables away.
01:58:56.880 To this day, no.
01:58:58.560 And I guess what I've proven, Chris, is that man does not need vegetables to survive.
01:59:05.240 But is it just possible that you would like, I'm thinking of one of the more non-objectionable vegetables, a carrot?
01:59:12.920 Oh, please.
01:59:14.340 Please.
01:59:14.520 A carrot?
01:59:14.960 No, that's an objectionable vegetable.
01:59:19.240 Really?
01:59:19.880 I mean, how would you know?
01:59:21.000 You've never tasted it.
01:59:22.100 I look at it.
01:59:23.160 I just don't even like the look of it.
01:59:25.220 And I surmise what it might taste like in terms of the texture of it.
01:59:30.140 I think a lot of it probably has to do with it just doesn't look like something that would go down well.
01:59:35.100 How great is that?
01:59:37.380 What a great thing to be able to say about yourself.
01:59:39.660 I've never eaten a vegetable in my entire life.
01:59:43.240 It's amazing.
01:59:44.960 Never knowingly eaten a vegetable.
01:59:46.880 Like, I'm sure, you know, if you have a, you know, a sauce, there might be a vegetable kind of mashed up in there you don't know about, right?
01:59:53.340 But he's saying never just eaten one off of a plate in his entire life.
01:59:58.760 I'm pretty close to that.
02:00:00.680 Yes, you are.
02:00:01.420 Yes, you are.
02:00:02.020 I'm the closest to that person as far as people that I know of.
02:00:06.080 But you're mostly vegetarian though, right?
02:00:08.160 Mostly, yes.
02:00:09.240 As you know, and I've said many times, I am mostly vegetarian.
02:00:14.780 You know, except for a little bit of fish.
02:00:17.400 Yeah.
02:00:17.860 And chicken.
02:00:20.640 Beef.
02:00:21.640 Right.
02:00:22.100 You're big on beef.
02:00:23.060 Actually, a lot of beef.
02:00:24.260 A lot.
02:00:24.600 Yeah, a lot of beef.
02:00:25.400 A lot of beef.
02:00:26.040 That's one of the exceptions.
02:00:27.680 Yeah, it is.
02:00:30.160 Pig.
02:00:31.000 Pork.
02:00:31.300 Okay.
02:00:31.580 Oh, yeah.
02:00:32.020 You know?
02:00:32.540 You're big on the, yeah.
02:00:33.400 A lot of bacon.
02:00:34.900 But I never, a lot of bacon.
02:00:37.080 Ham.
02:00:37.980 But like, never eaten bear.
02:00:39.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
02:00:42.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
