00:04:51.940 costs and terms exactly yeah yeah what he said well i'm just gonna say the same thing it's weird that

00:04:57.860 that was on both our minds at the same time uh all right so yesterday the big beautiful bill

00:05:04.500 happened in the senate and uh here's what happened with uh jd vance in there on this vote the yeas are

00:05:12.040 50 the nays are 50 the senate being evenly divided the vice president votes in the affirmative the bill

00:05:18.840 as amended is passed ta-da wow the excitement is palpable and the crowd goes wild there's just

00:05:29.960 nothing like a good c-span to get you fired up for the fourth of july yeah you know and you're welcome

00:05:35.180 you're welcome so we haven't talked much about the big beautiful bill together uh what are your

00:05:42.180 thoughts on these this passage of the big beautiful bill in the way the senate just passed it right

00:05:47.320 because it's not it's not the same bill and it is there's still a lot of work to do on the big

00:05:52.220 beautiful bill uh yeah there is a sort of fakie deadline of july 4th which is not actually a

00:05:59.320 deadline i keep talking to people like they gotta get this done july 4th it's right around the

00:06:01.820 corner it it doesn't matter actually it's an artificial construct it is it is a very good

00:06:07.440 usage of that term uh basically donald trump said he wanted it done by a holiday yeah and everyone

00:06:13.480 was like well donald trump said we need to get it done by the holiday so we better get it done by the

00:06:17.060 holiday that's essentially all it is right there's no right legislative reason it needs to be done by

00:06:22.140 july 4th but i mean i think there is a legitimate worry that if they don't get it done by july 4th

00:06:29.040 it could you know you know how congress is right like they they start getting focused on other

00:06:35.040 things they come up with new complaints they didn't know about they might i mean this is the

00:06:39.720 worst case scenario they might read the bill no and then figure out what's in it no that would be

00:06:44.700 crazy i mean i doubt it that would be crazy someone in their office might read a chat gpt might get all

00:06:50.840 the text in it to tell them what they should oppose in it um so that happens i think like it's it's

00:06:57.140 actually a somewhat complicated picture i think and that does tend to happen when you have thousand

00:07:02.140 page bills there is a lot of pages that they did have the uh they did have it read was it monday

00:07:09.880 they did the 16 hour thing oh my gosh i only stayed around for 14 of the hours though so i didn't hear

00:07:17.400 what did you have something going on is everything okay i had to go to the bathroom yeah i sat there

00:07:21.960 listening and watching intently for 14 hours and then i'm like i gotta go to the bathroom see i had

00:07:27.600 a a television that only carries c-span installed in my bathroom oh so now i even if when i have to

00:07:35.620 go to the bathroom i don't miss any bill oh that's awesome yeah that's just that's a great idea we had

00:07:40.340 it installed when we bought the home uh it was the first thing we said we will buy this home however

00:07:45.460 there is we need this c-span television in the bathroom that was our big negotiation yeah um so

00:07:51.820 we got that and you got it yeah um there is a lot of good in the bill right the tax cuts being made

00:07:59.020 and that has to happen is big yeah it's huge there's other things you know you get rid of some of the

00:08:03.820 green subsidies um you know there are you got some border border stuff is important stuff yep that's a

00:08:10.540 big one i have this i have an entire i have an entire list of everything in the bill uh there's

00:08:16.380 a lot yeah it's a lot there's a lot and some of the cuts are pretty good i think as well there's not

00:08:22.300 enough of them there are a lot of problems in the bill they of course to get votes there's two ways to

00:08:27.560 do it pat you either bribe people like they did with lisa murkowski to get the 50 50 vote right

00:08:34.000 just bribed her just gave her all sorts of stuff that she wanted for her state 1.00

00:08:37.300 or uh in in all the alternative which will also occur here is donald trump comes and yells at

00:08:43.320 everyone and they do whatever he says those are the two ways you pass bills in today's congress

00:08:47.380 right bribe the congressman right or donald trump yells at them that's what we have here so threatens

00:08:52.760 him to be primary yes whatever yeah he'll say you're you're not maga you're gonna get primaried

00:08:57.840 tom tillis was one of these and there's two ways to react if you are a republican you almost never

00:09:04.100 stand up for what you believe in no why would you do that right you can't do that why would you

00:09:08.220 with exceptions rand paul being one of them right like we all knew rand paul was going to be no to

00:09:12.040 this bill because it's a giant bill that increases the debt a lot and he's been consistent on this

00:09:15.860 every single time basically since yeah uh the dawn of man he opposes these things you knew he was

00:09:22.980 going to be a no from the beginning you know he's he said i might be able to get to a yes but at no

00:09:28.200 point did i believe he was going to get to yes because he has a ideological opposition to this and i i i

00:09:33.440 respect that i a lot of people don't know a lot of people are just pissed off at him yeah i'm not

00:09:39.060 one of them right i'm not one of them either i'm not mad at him i'm not mad at thomas massey no

00:09:43.080 they're both really good legislators they're both good representatives and they stick to as a rule

00:09:50.180 what they believe yep and i i don't have problems with with people like that no you know chip roy's

00:09:55.580 another one who actually did yes initially on this and is now saying uh the this version of it he

00:10:01.120 can't support he will be very happy to tell you exactly why he's doing that it's not because he

00:10:07.920 didn't read the bill it's not because he doesn't have any idea what's in it it's not because donald

00:10:12.020 trump hasn't yelled at him enough yet right it's not because he hasn't been bribed enough yet

00:10:16.440 there are a few representatives who think that way it's just really rare really rare so i mean i think

00:10:24.840 a better solution to this and i'd love to get your thoughts on this pat would be a less big

00:10:30.480 perhaps i would argue more beautiful bill that did much smaller less attempted to do uh you know

00:10:39.180 didn't have a lot of these giveaways didn't have all this stuff in there i just talked about this on

00:10:43.680 my show break it up okay into a whole bunch of different bills if you have to let's get the tax

00:10:48.400 cuts done do that separately let's get the border bill done let's do that separately and then you

00:10:54.800 know we can we can hash out all the rest of the stuff there's no reason i don't think to put it all

00:11:00.560 into one big beautiful bill because it's not as beautiful as it could have been right the only thing

00:11:07.420 is of course the reconciliation process and it's like yeah get that right to get only 50 votes you have

00:11:12.100 to have you only get one shot at that here and that's fine and i think you can put i mean you can

00:11:18.300 i think even put in the tax cuts and the border package um and a couple of other things but like

00:11:26.260 they have i mean you know the list of things that are in here i mean if i started reading it right now

00:11:33.020 just the list not the whole bill we would not get through it before the end of the show i mean there's

00:11:37.700 just so many different things wow that are in there that are just you know well it's 1100 pages i think

00:11:45.120 they said when they started reading it so i mean yeah there's a lot of stuff jammed in that thing

00:11:50.040 yeah a lot a lot it's it's a ton and and nobody can know everything in it you know even though they

00:11:56.140 read it you know they weren't paying attention there's there's not a single human alive who knows

00:12:01.240 all the things in this bill right it's like one of those netflix series about 1700s england

00:12:06.700 like you might watch the series but you don't know what's going on right they're just saying these

00:12:11.980 words and they sound like english but no one they don't mean anything as he would say pat they're

00:12:16.660 just speaking gibberish right so no one could possibly know i i think so i mean at the end of

00:12:22.980 the day i would love to have a bill that was less big and more beautiful you know i think you need to

00:12:30.100 you do need to get these tax cuts passed it has to happen it's a requirement i think the i think

00:12:37.200 it's sensible people are like well this is what donald trump uh ran on some of this is what

00:12:42.340 donald trump ran on you know i mean sure the the border and the tax cuts are on there and things

00:12:48.260 like no tax on tips which you know again and it's fine it's a very by the way it's a very small piece

00:12:53.500 of this when you look at the overall you know what what are the costs pat the costs in here the costs

00:13:00.800 are almost five trillion dollars of it are the tax cut extensions okay so almost all of it the the the

00:13:08.280 next highest uh cost to me that's not a cost to me it's not a cost either that's not a cost it's

00:13:13.260 the current law right number two it's not a cost that the government takes less of our money yeah it

00:13:20.040 is not a cost to the government that wasn't yours to begin with so that's not a cost to you i reject

00:13:25.280 this completely yeah that pisses me off it's it's a infuriating it is construct pat yes to call this

00:13:33.120 a cost but that is what one of that's the by far the biggest cost of this bill second biggest is

00:13:37.660 other tax provisions what's that it's stuff like uh you know no tax on tips um and uh the cost on no

00:13:46.040 tax on tips is 32 billion dollars over 10 years okay it is not even 3.2 3.2 billion a year i don't

00:13:55.220 even wake up nothing i don't even wake up for 3.2 billion a year pat no we don't and you certainly

00:13:59.720 don't get out of bed for that no so absolutely not you roll over and you go right back to sleep

00:14:05.280 no it's like a lot of these programs that people talk about are not even factors in this um there

00:14:12.740 are also some temporary tax cuts that they kind of come on and expire um one of his other uh there's

00:14:19.760 kind of those no tax on tips no tax on overtime i think is one of those oh right there's no tax

00:14:25.140 on um you know they wanted to do no tax on social security they didn't actually do that but they

00:14:29.420 did wind up cutting a decent tax cut for seniors i think uh you'll see out of out of this bill

00:14:34.460 there is a lot there it's just one of those situations where um that's basically all it is

00:14:41.140 when it comes to savings they keep talking about medicaid cuts have you looked into what the medicaid

00:14:46.640 cuts are pat the cuts to illegal aliens uh you know that's you know there is some of that like 0.76

00:14:52.860 they keep saying well it's waste fraud and abuse and every first of all the reason they say that

00:14:57.980 is every single person on earth is against waste fraud and abuse right it's a hundred percent of

00:15:02.920 people yeah uh except for the people abusing and and and wasting wasting um that is the those are the

00:15:09.320 only people who actually ever say anything about about that um but the biggest medicaid cut and i'm

00:15:18.060 gonna put this in massive air quotes for those listening on radio or podcast the the cut is and

00:15:24.740 i was like i kept looking at this i'm like why do they keep saying this how are they coming up with

00:15:29.120 this being a cut they keep saying they're cutting it because of work requirements and i was like well

00:15:34.460 it can't be what i'm thinking here right they can't be saying a work requirement is a cut

00:15:40.580 for the reason i'm thinking and i was like i can't be it so i did a bunch of research on this

00:15:46.300 you'll be surprised here it's exactly what i was thinking oh wow which is what they're saying is

00:15:52.680 they say hey you have to work 20 hours a week to uh to get medicaid okay and there will be a bunch

00:16:01.740 of people out there who will say a i don't want to work 20 hours a week or b i don't mind i i don't

00:16:12.260 really feel like doing the paperwork to prove that i tried to work 20 hours a week so therefore

00:16:19.120 i'm not going to bother attempting to get medicaid and that's the cut so it will cost less

00:16:24.920 and they're saying that's a cut to medicaid unreal which is insanity to say that it's a cost

00:16:31.580 that our taxes won't be as high unbelievable is insane yes i think it might be more insane to say

00:16:39.660 it's a cut no people who are eligible to medicaid will lose their medicaid only people they will

00:16:45.420 just say because they're adding some uh requirements some extra paperwork and we all know how these

00:16:50.480 programs work pat like if you've ever known someone who's been on uh you know who went on uh

00:16:55.020 unemployment you go on unemployment at the first i don't know how long i'm just estimating this but

00:17:01.040 like i remember i had a relative who went on unemployment and he and he was like well uh you know

00:17:05.800 it was like the first 13 weeks were basically nothing he had to do basically nothing other than

00:17:12.020 just apply to the program and get accepted and then after 13 weeks they were like hey you need to

00:17:16.980 prove that you're doing some interviews and so he did he would go and he would do the interviews but

00:17:21.360 he i don't i don't know how interested he was really in getting a job but he went and did whatever

00:17:25.140 basic requirements they did and it was not particularly hard to stay on there eventually you do get to a

00:17:31.540 point where it gets kind of difficult to stay on and or it runs out right right yeah that is the

00:17:36.920 situation with with these medicaid uh we all know that like for a while you're probably gonna just

00:17:43.160 get the medicaid if you say you're trying to get a job and eventually they might get a little bit

00:17:48.480 harder on this they passed a program like this in arkansas uh where some people did fall off the

00:17:54.120 medicaid rolls but again i keep saying this oh no if you will not go through a basic round of

00:18:00.140 requirements to get this program you probably don't need the program now there are there could

00:18:05.340 be some exceptions right someone with like severe health problems that maybe can't get out so you

00:18:11.240 know you have a heart attack in the middle of this process you don't file the paperwork you lose your

00:18:14.860 medicaid that shouldn't happen right there's certain things that need to be covered um but generally

00:18:19.960 speaking that is the medicaid cut they're talking about they're talking about people who don't fill out

00:18:25.660 the forms by the way if you don't get a job okay because there are people who might maybe can't get

00:18:30.580 jobs and work the 20 hours requirement right those people can fill out forms saying i'm trying to get a

00:18:35.880 job they can volunteer in certain circumstances there's plenty of other ways to get around this

00:18:41.060 so it's not just like oh because i could see you know you want to get a job and you can't get it

00:18:44.940 that happens to people um so you have to have a way to carve that out of course there are these

00:18:49.120 carve outs for this they're just saying some people won't go through with it now

00:18:52.480 wow i think there's a good argument to say that at least some of those people probably didn't need

00:18:58.760 medicaid they probably have some other way of getting what they need some people might be too

00:19:04.480 lazy to do it some people might be too stupid to do it some people might get caught up in red tape for

00:19:09.560 real reasons as we were discussing but generally speaking that's what they're saying that's what

00:19:13.820 they're all worried about we can't cut medicaid have you heard any republican explain that to the

00:19:18.760 american people i i don't think i don't think i have i don't think i have i don't understand why

00:19:23.540 they can't do it which is why i had to look it up yes i was like wait a minute this can't be how

00:19:27.340 is it possible that you can't explain that to the american people we'll find out uh in just 60 seconds

00:19:33.020 or so you know those brutal summer nights tossing turning flipping the pillow trying to find the

00:19:38.880 cool spot i've been there it's exactly why i switched to cozy earth sheets they're made from

00:20:34.560 yeah we were just talking about what is what is bad in the big conservative standpoint yeah what what

00:20:53.760 are the things that uh we would object to despite the best efforts of some of the people we talked

00:20:58.940 about there are some green subsidies in here there are some biden uh spending programs you know because

00:21:04.800 we always talk about these big bill these big programs people get used to them right they get

00:21:09.540 locked in and we said this with obamacare at the time people are going to get used to their free

00:21:12.880 health care and then they're going to say well we can't take away my free health care right now some

00:21:17.060 of that stuff makes sense when the program has been in place for 20 years right it doesn't make sense

00:21:22.200 when it was passed by joe biden however some of that spending not all but some of that spending is still

00:21:27.360 in there some of the green subsidies are still in there um you know there's been a big effort by

00:21:32.060 conservatives to say hey wait a minute get rid of these completely there's no reason we can't get

00:21:35.400 rid of the green stuff passed by joe biden in the last term right a lot of that money's not even

00:21:40.940 spent yet pat some of the money that's not spent they got rid of some of the money where like

00:21:45.680 projects have already been designated they're like well they've already started and so a lot of

00:21:51.440 that money still gets spent right like the senate was worse on the house yeah oh well stop them

00:21:56.900 yeah um so that's in there i mean the biggest problem is again the scope of it you're talking

00:22:02.480 about uh a five trillion dollar but like you said most of that's from the tax cuts right making

00:22:09.820 them permanent uh well yes you know yes i think that's that's true um from the from a cost perspective

00:22:17.140 when they say quote unquote cost yeah there's also some defense spending new defense spending

00:22:21.900 um there's homeland security and immigration spending um and then there's a bunch of a slice

00:22:27.060 of a bunch of other stuff in there most of it is the tax stuff now tax provisions also uses some of

00:22:33.560 that um you know green subsidies and things like that would be included in that i don't like that

00:22:38.660 stuff there are a lot of people in congress who have these projects might employ a thousand people

00:22:45.760 in their states in their districts and so they say they say even though they're quote unquote

00:22:50.320 conservatives or republicans they say well i've got to be loyal to my state these people are working

00:22:55.860 or they're going to have these jobs and i don't want to cut these jobs which again i don't agree with

00:23:00.080 but that's the reasoning behind it um and i and like the tax cut uh extensions um to me should not be

00:23:08.560 thought of as a cost at all and i know you know but that with all that said the trillions of dollars

00:23:17.320 are going to pile up because we're not balanced now so extending current policy now and adding some

00:23:22.900 new spending is still going to increase the deficit this is the ran ball problem problem with the with

00:23:29.100 all of this right yeah um you know we are we're not in alignment with how we're supposed to be

00:23:33.860 spending we're not spending what we make and that is a big problem so it just locks in for multiple years

00:23:40.860 in a republican vision of the future massive debt and trillions of dollars of spending so that is i

00:23:47.760 think the biggest problem with it 888-727-BECK more pad and stew for glenn coming up

00:25:32.380 all babies born between now and 2028 they all get a thousand dollars yeah you were asking that right

00:25:39.700 what's bad in the bill yeah this would be an example from my perspective something flat out

00:25:45.900 giveaway just giving away because you got born you get a thousand dollars yes they're called trump

00:25:51.340 accounts okay and you know again and the president's done many good things i you know but this one i would

00:25:57.440 i it's a nice i can understand why you'd want your name on it right a baby a family has a baby born

00:26:03.620 they need money they like money um you know they having a savings account that's where there's a

00:26:10.280 giveaway to uh to you to your child they will appreciate that right someone handing you a

00:26:16.540 thousand dollars is something appreciated typically you're not going to say no to it you're not going

00:26:20.340 to say no to it so that is why uh you want to put trump it's why he when when they did the stimulus

00:26:26.320 checks he put his name on it right like you know um that is he understands that dynamic well

00:26:33.420 um trump accounts to me are a terrible idea and i really but i hope they get stripped out of this

00:26:38.900 bill somehow i really doubt that they will uh basically it gives a tax advantage savings account

00:26:44.140 for children when they are born a thousand dollars per child if they are born between 2024 and 2028 now

00:26:50.360 you might might pop into your head number one this is a government giveaway program it's an entitlement

00:26:58.240 i mean as pure as entitlements can be all the only requirement is birth okay that that is as pure

00:27:06.220 as an entitlement without regard for income right without regard to income you could be a billionaire

00:27:11.220 have a child and that child will get a thousand dollar account yeah someone someone actually pointed 0.99

00:27:16.540 this out one of the congressmen who was opposed to it i don't remember who it was was like elon musk has

00:27:20.560 like 12 kids a week we're gonna keep giving him a thousand dollars every single time he has a kid

00:27:25.360 i guess that's enough to bankrupt america right there i'm terrified by the cost of this oh man

00:27:31.220 um and and this is interesting listen to this uh carve out late changes to this provision this

00:27:38.480 according to the new york times late changes to this provision removed a requirement that a parent

00:27:44.300 be a u.s citizen to qualify oh you gotta for the one thousand dollar contribution they removed

00:27:51.340 that requirement they removed that requirement so you could be an illegal alien who just gave birth

00:27:56.100 to a child that child gets a thousand dollars yeah or at least not a citizen they could be a

00:28:00.180 maybe a green card holder or you could be a you know visiting student or whatever but if you have

00:28:06.760 the kid and of course the kid by the current interpretation of the 14th amendment is it going

00:28:12.320 to be a citizen no matter what so they all get the thousand dollars as well so two students that come

00:28:18.240 over hook up that's the thousand dollars now a couple things on this pat number one do you believe

00:28:25.380 in 2028 we're in the middle of this presidential campaign that there's going to be either candidate

00:28:31.160 no either a democrat or likely jd vance running on a you know a third trump term essentially he's going

00:28:40.540 to say we need to get rid of these a thousand dollar giveaways absolutely not it won't happen of course

00:28:46.540 there's one thing that will happen though one of the two sides probably the democrat but maybe jd vance

00:28:51.760 i don't know we'll say a thousand dollars isn't enough yeah it needs to be two thousand what can you

00:28:56.820 do with one thousand dollars maybe it's five thousand maybe it's ten thousand dollars per baby

00:29:01.020 there's no way this just becomes zero dollars in twenty twenty nine no right there becomes much more

00:29:07.600 than a thousand course it does this is the start of a massive entitlement program that is in the

00:29:14.540 middle of this bill and should just be stripped out it's silly you don't you don't get a thousand

00:29:21.100 dollar lottery ticket scratch off that wins every time when you're born come on i mean it's just i

00:29:28.960 can't even believe we have to make this point i understand why it's in there i understand why it

00:29:33.840 seems like a wonderful giveaway or why you might promise it during a campaign but come on this is the

00:29:39.000 united states of america we should not be we should not be buying children for a thousand dollars no

00:29:44.280 that should not be the thing that we do i don't i and certainly not under a republican administration

00:29:50.760 right and a republican majority in the senate and the house there's no reason for that because we all

00:29:56.120 we all know that the republican the republican position will be the most restrictive possibility for

00:30:03.140 this this going forward and when it becomes five thousand dollars in four years or eight years or

00:30:09.600 whatever that occurs there will be some evil rand paul character that will come in and say i think we

00:30:16.780 should cut this to only two thousand dollars and everyone will call him a fascist and that he hates

00:30:23.240 children yes and that uh he is the they will show every poor mom who wants to wants their kid just to

00:30:33.060 have ten thousand dollars in free money and they don't have it anymore or they will show the kid

00:30:39.280 who got the savings account and spent it on college and now has a wonderful family and is a doctor

00:30:46.040 they will show that sob story and they will say gosh why is it only ten thousand it should be a million

00:30:53.480 dollars you know i mean this is the it's the minimum wage argument it's everything and they will be

00:30:59.000 presented by the way as a cut they will they will say to only two thousand dollars that's a cut

00:31:05.980 you're cutting money to poor families blah blah blah blah we've been through this so many freaking times

00:31:11.500 and you the only way to stop this is why we were so hardcore on obamacare at the time

00:31:16.840 is before it starts that's the only time to stop it yep this is the week to stop this program

00:31:24.620 and the perfect example of that is social security and medicare those two programs you can't even

00:31:30.680 speak about cutting or or making more difficult to obtain in any way or just pushing back the time

00:31:37.300 that you receive all of that stuff it's just completely out of the question now it's it's

00:31:42.600 untouchable now we've become so accustomed to it that it's just part of our lives and we demand it

00:31:49.440 we don't just expect it we demand it now yeah i mean pat donald trump will call his opponents fat

00:31:56.820 slobs on television he will say literally anything about anyone that's what one of the things we love

00:32:02.860 about him right yep yep even he he has said over and over and over again he will not touch any of

00:32:10.220 those programs which is why it's so dumb the big attack on him every single campaign is like oh he's

00:32:14.360 gonna he's gonna cut all these programs he has said over and over again a million times he will

00:32:19.820 not touch any of them he just said the other day i don't like doing a lot with cuts he just said it

00:32:25.020 the other day i don't like doing a lot with cuts that is it that's that's the republican president who by

00:32:32.620 the way i think has done a lot of really good things um but there's no appetite for this anymore

00:32:40.140 there used to be at least the appetite to say they wanted cuts they don't even do that anymore

00:32:46.600 that's where we are so you implement a new program that you know again supposedly only cost 15 billion

00:32:52.360 dollars to start for four years what's that going to cost in 10 years 20 years 30 years i just

00:32:58.860 again it's a bad idea stop it before it starts i don't think anybody voted for donald trump because

00:33:03.880 of the trump accounts and there's anybody who's like gosh i'm gonna vote for him because i want

00:33:07.700 a thousand dollars i'm gonna go into a savings account that my kid can spend in x amount of

00:33:11.820 years i don't think that that is you know it's a nice it there's some nice uh feelings behind it

00:33:18.560 pat yes nice feelings behind it there's a lot of nice feelings behind a literal socialism as well

00:33:24.160 and we should avoid those things as much as possible because i mean that i don't know is there

00:33:28.980 when you have a giveaway to someone just for being born and i think there's an argument from some

00:33:35.980 on the right who say well this is encouraging families i don't know pat you had 91 children

00:33:42.280 92 now 92 i'm sorry i didn't love to very early this morning and my wife just had a baby oh really

00:33:48.680 yeah i was gonna say you're like joe biden with grandkids i can't even keep track of how many you

00:33:52.980 have and some of them i i think you acknowledge all of yours which is great that's really nice of

00:33:57.840 you um but the point is uh you know would you have had fewer children or would you have had more

00:34:05.300 children would you have 96 children today if you got promised a thousand dollars for each one i

00:34:08.900 would not no you don't that's not how people live no especially when you can't access the money right

00:34:13.140 away right like it's a savings account that's going to be for the child like you know throw towards

00:34:17.680 college or throw towards a new car when they need it or whatever later on in life it's not like you

00:34:22.160 just get a thousand dollars to spend on baby stuff and if you're having kids based on financial

00:34:26.640 considerations uh it's gonna cost a lot more than a thousand dollars to have the child used to be

00:34:32.200 something that we were very critical of yeah back in the day you know there was a time where we we

00:34:37.340 said hey you know people who are having lots of children to get if if it's like welfare extra

00:34:42.920 welfare money that's a bad thing very so i and i don't i don't understand why this would be a

00:34:48.700 i can understand why democrats would propose something like this i just don't but again i we should point

00:34:53.180 out it's a small part of this bill and there is a lot of good there's probably more good in the bill

00:34:58.420 than bad so i think that's why a lot of these congressmen are like well i guess i mean did you

00:35:06.300 hear the the lisa murkowski i love the lisa murkowski thing she is the holdout of the senate so of course 0.63

00:35:13.080 what they do again there's two things you can do you can have donald trump yell at her murkowski

00:35:17.260 largely immune to that she does not seem to care that much about donald trump yelling at her she's

00:35:22.160 one of the few yeah doesn't care about that part she is not immune at all to bribery so she she's like 1.00

00:35:27.480 well i want these things for alaska so she gets all these things for alaska and then she's like

00:35:32.060 all right i'm a yes and then she says well i i really hope the house rejects it and sends back

00:35:38.280 something else this is a bill she voted for and she's saying she hopes the house doesn't vote for

00:35:45.900 it and then sends it back to them in another version which may very well happen it might i this thing is

00:35:51.200 not going to happen by friday it would be surprising but you know i really clear that's wednesday we got

00:35:59.020 one day to get this done and then signed in both chambers i don't think it can happen and trump by

00:36:05.260 the way again is a negotiator he knows he says it must be done by july 4th over and over again everyone

00:36:11.500 acts as if it needs to be done by july 4th and then when it comes to july 4th he'll say well

00:36:15.700 july 5th you know like he's he he made it seem like a strong deadline because he wants it done

00:36:22.520 soon yeah and so i understand that and it seems to work on on a lot of these people in congress like

00:36:28.360 they act as if they all know the rules there's no reason it needs to be done by june it needs to be

00:36:33.580 done by the end of the year is when it needs to be done yeah and uh you know at least for the tax

00:36:39.020 cuts to be put into place so we don't get the rise it's important that's a really important

00:36:44.280 deadline july 4th is not a really important deadline that is a it's a holiday so it's an

00:36:48.960 important holiday our independence day is something we'd love to celebrate it's not necessarily

00:36:53.520 germane to this bill uh but i so i don't think you're right it's probably not going to get done

00:37:00.640 but again donald trump has a way of just saying do it yeah and they do and they do and they do you

00:37:05.740 know it's the it's a jump and how high uh and for 95 percent of republicans that's usually enough i

00:37:14.540 don't think i don't think much most of them even think of it think of the situation beyond that

00:37:19.460 does donald trump want it you're right yeah you know i and i this is something i've been thinking

00:37:25.280 about a little bit i was talking to chris bedford on my show last last night about this

00:37:28.340 we have this criticism we've made a million times pat of republican gop congress oh well you know

00:37:36.800 they're not they never do the right thing you know there's the establishment the mitch mcconnell's of

00:37:40.780 the world and we've said all that stuff a million times does that apply to our current situation

00:37:45.620 anymore who who are these i guess tom tillis is your example yeah who are these people lisa murkowski's

00:37:53.640 on i mean i guess susan collins voted no ram paul's a totally different situation we've already

00:37:57.820 discussed none of none of these people are going against what donald trump is saying to do there's

00:38:03.320 a few in the house and congress that you have to deal with but it's i mean donald trump is saying he

00:38:09.220 wants this he is saying he wants this is the bill he wants now we all know it's not perfect it's not

00:38:14.680 exactly what trump wants and there are things in there that i'm sure trump would strip out if he could

00:38:19.400 but he says this deal is good enough and almost all republicans are going along with this this idea

00:38:25.480 that there's this big stress between some establishment figures and donald trump where

00:38:29.480 is where's the evidence for this these days yeah you 10 years you know eight years ago when in 2017

00:38:34.440 or whatever 2018 i think you did see that i don't think you really see it anymore no you don't there's

00:38:40.360 not much of it they pretty much will go along if if he finds it to be really really important

00:38:45.120 they'll pretty much go along with it 888-727-BECK more coming up

00:40:20.020 myself honestly for a long time but there's a specific variety that grows in india and for centuries

00:40:25.200 people there have eaten it not just as food but to help suppress hunger naturally and today doctors

00:40:30.880 have taken that same principle and included it along with a bunch of other key ingredients

00:40:34.680 in a remarkable weight loss supplement called lean if you have bold summer weight loss goals but

00:40:40.880 injections maybe not for you the doctors who formulated lean have this message for you

00:40:45.860 this supplement was as close as we could come to the benefits of those popular injections without the

00:40:51.160 needles just like those injections lean was created to help maintain healthy blood sugar and help

00:40:56.740 control appetite and cravings and to help burn fat by converting it into energy but with lean there are

00:41:03.500 no needles required you get no injections just results finding a way to lose weight has always been

00:41:09.220 difficult but with lean doctors have created a healthier way to lose weight by capturing the power

00:41:14.220 of natural ingredients so why not take advantage of it give it a shot especially if you're someone who'd

00:41:19.020 really like to lose the weight but for whatever reason you know i just not i don't want to get

00:41:22.000 stuck with a needle once a week okay um let's uh get you started 20 off right now i use the code

00:42:11.320 it's pat and stew for glenn today 888-727-BECK this is a really nice message uh from an unexpected

00:42:30.080 source uh ilan omar actually really yesterday wished everybody a happy independence day

00:42:37.480 right and you might think well that's a little early but okay that's really nice though that's

00:42:41.760 nice i'm glad to see that you feel like you wouldn't get that normally from an ilan omar

00:42:46.860 character yeah uh but the reason you're getting it is because she's talking about somalia oh that's the

00:42:53.960 independence day she's speaking of so happy happy independence day everybody in somalia ilan omar

00:43:01.060 still thinking about you okay somalia first and shocking isn't it though it's so good son

00:43:08.520 believe now will we get a happy independence day on july 4th from my guess is no now maybe because

00:43:17.180 she did this she would do it as a throwaway maybe and you would think that but a lot of times she'll 1.00

00:43:23.080 surprise you by nope not even then she doesn't even feel the need to do that you pathetic losers 0.81

00:43:28.180 she does not care at all you know all of these the the hamas squad the you know ilana mars and 0.84

00:43:35.820 rashid talib and all of those people they they don't they don't seem to care what americans actually

00:46:47.040 And this is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:54.400 Today, featuring Pat and Stu for Glenn, we got this Gallup poll you may have heard some about.

00:47:01.620 We got to get into this, dig into how proud Americans are to be Americans and break it down by political parties, ethnicity and age groups.

00:47:15.640 We'll get into this a little bit coming up in one minute.

00:47:21.780 We're entering some very uncertain times with everything that is happening overseas.

00:47:26.080 We need to be on alert at home as well.

00:47:28.600 You should have a Berna on you at all times, especially one that is small enough to conceal wherever you go.

00:47:34.900 Meet the new Compact Launcher.

00:47:36.980 It's touted as the world's smallest, less lethal pistol launcher.

00:47:40.620 The same size as a smartphone, but it has all the firepower that you need to stop an attacker in their tracks without dealing with a mental or financial repercussion of using a real firearm.

00:47:51.300 These are equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammunition.

00:47:54.240 It's designed to stop somebody right in their tracks and incapacitate them for up to 40 minutes.

00:47:59.300 The Compact Launcher is perfect for women who want protection but don't want to really carry a firearm. 0.62

00:48:03.960 And if you're traveling this summer, Berna is legal in all 50 states.

00:48:07.340 It requires no background checks and can be shipped directly to your door.

00:48:11.620 Berna is proudly American with every unit that is hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

00:48:16.980 So visit Berna.com today and find the right launcher for your family.

00:48:20.600 That's Berna.com.

00:48:21.340 So a Gallup poll has shown that Americans apparently are not quite as proud to be Americans as they once were.

00:48:45.940 Back in 2001, they did a survey that found that 90% of Republicans were proud to be Americans, either very proud or extremely proud.

00:48:58.260 And 87% of Democrats were either extremely or very proud to be Americans.

00:49:05.220 That's changed just a little bit in the last 24 years.

00:49:08.820 In fact, it's gone up for Republicans.

00:49:13.080 It went from 90% to 92% for Republicans.

00:49:17.500 For Democrats, a little bit different.

00:49:20.020 It went from 87% to 36%.

00:49:25.560 It's noticeable, Pat.

00:49:26.580 It's kind of noticeable.

00:49:28.500 Yeah.

00:49:28.820 A little bit of a drop-off.

00:49:30.160 You might be thinking, well, okay, was that when it was abnormally high right after 9-11?

00:49:35.700 This is the exact question I had for Glenn when he brought this poll up because, you know, if you look back at George W. Bush's approval after 2000, he was in the 90s, right?

00:49:45.320 Like, there was a lot of weird stuff going on in polling in 2001 after 9-11.

00:49:50.060 Yeah.

00:49:50.340 We were together and everybody was kind of on the same page for about a month.

00:49:55.400 So did it happen then?

00:49:57.080 Is that why there's such a big difference?

00:50:00.640 And it turns out that's not the case, though, right?

00:50:02.820 No, it was interesting because I had the same question and I was like, oh, gosh, you know, was it just 9-11?

00:50:09.080 Actually, no.

00:50:09.900 The Democrats remained positive on America for quite a long time.

00:50:14.840 Like, I don't have the numbers right in front of me, but it was like, you know, 10 years later, 2000, like, let's say, 11.

00:50:22.700 Still in the...

00:50:23.280 They were like in the 80s.

00:50:24.380 80s.

00:50:24.520 It wasn't quite as high as 2001, but it was still very high.

00:50:27.780 Almost all the drop-off has happened since about 2016.

00:50:32.540 Now, you fill in the blanks on what happened in 2016 that you think may have occurred in the Democrats' mind to say that they're not all that impressed with America anymore.

00:50:42.260 It did bounce back up, you'll be surprised to hear, for about four years.

00:50:46.180 And now it's dropped off again to the lowest point of all time.

00:50:49.400 This has something to do with Donald Trump very specifically.

00:50:52.760 Yeah.

00:50:52.960 With people on the left, they don't like him.

00:50:55.580 Now, it had dropped off, though, from the heights of 90% before Trump, but most of the drop has happened since Trump came into office.

00:51:04.100 So, I don't know.

00:51:05.720 Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

00:51:07.420 Is it, okay, maybe they just, you know, they're partisans.

00:51:10.680 They don't like this.

00:51:11.280 They have Trump derangement syndrome.

00:51:13.240 Maybe it's not as large anti-American sentiment.

00:51:16.480 I tend to think it's long-lasting.

00:51:19.320 I think it's going to last longer.

00:51:20.540 I think it is, too.

00:51:20.980 Yeah.

00:51:21.900 Yeah.

00:51:22.960 Fascinating that independents, if you're independent, you still have 53% of independents are extremely or very proud of America.

00:51:32.980 It breaks down with 63% of men, 55% of women. 0.73

00:51:39.020 White, 66% are proud of the country. 0.85

00:51:42.780 Non-white, 45%, so quite a bit lower.

00:51:45.640 The real problem area, though, is with the youth, 18 to 34-year-olds.

00:51:50.140 The youths today?

00:51:50.520 The youths are down to 36%.

00:51:53.820 36% are either very or extremely proud of America.

00:51:59.420 And I think you can blame a lot of that on what's going on in education.

00:52:06.340 They're being taught that America is not something to be proud of.

00:52:09.760 From 35% to 54%, the number is 60%, and 55% plus 72% of people are proud of the country.

00:52:21.120 Interesting.

00:52:22.240 It'd be fascinating to see how proud, for instance, Somalians are of Somalia.

00:52:31.100 Proud to be a Somalian.

00:52:32.240 Man, I've heard Elon belt that one out on Independence Day the other day.

00:52:37.720 It was wonderful.

00:52:40.580 Yeah, yeah, that would be, except, I think, you know, it's interesting.

00:52:44.580 I think there is a, let me give you two scenarios here, Pat.

00:52:47.720 Okay.

00:52:48.140 And you tell me which bad one is true.

00:52:50.460 Okay.

00:52:50.760 Okay.

00:52:50.980 Scenario number one.

00:52:53.440 I think the one we're kind of all thinking here.

00:52:55.500 Democrats, we used to be a more united country.

00:52:58.140 People love the country.

00:52:59.620 Over time, Democrats have turned more negative on it, have faded away.

00:53:03.680 As I pointed out, a lot of this has happened since the Trump era began, and now they hate it.

00:53:08.180 Okay.

00:53:08.520 That's scenario one.

00:53:09.640 Yep.

00:53:10.020 Okay.

00:53:10.680 Scenario two.

00:53:11.360 Democrats, even in 2000, 2001, didn't really love the country all that much.

00:53:20.560 Maybe they were more negative than they let on, but they knew the right thing to say was

00:53:28.080 they loved America.

00:53:29.360 America, and now that cadence, the current of the river that is America has stopped pushing

00:53:39.480 people to think they need to say that, right?

00:53:42.500 Now, the current is going the opposite direction, and it's pushing people to say, hey, you know

00:53:47.700 what?

00:53:48.260 I think it's cooler now on the Democratic side to say you hate the country rather than

00:53:53.320 it's a good place, but there's got lots of problems.

00:53:56.160 Yeah, I think that's, yeah, that could be part of it.

00:53:58.760 I think maybe it's both.

00:53:59.440 That could definitely be part of it.

00:54:00.640 Yeah.

00:54:00.980 Maybe it's both of those things.

00:54:02.420 Because I do think that's part of it.

00:54:03.740 Like, there probably were a lot of people.

00:54:05.120 I mean, I don't know.

00:54:05.640 I remember 2000, 2001, 2002.

00:54:07.940 There's a lot of complaints by Democrats about America.

00:54:11.740 They didn't like it all that much.

00:54:13.060 Yeah.

00:54:14.040 Yeah.

00:54:14.520 Certainly less than Republicans.

00:54:15.920 I have this poll now in front of me, Pat.

00:54:18.620 In 2001, it was 90% of Republicans, 87% of Democrats, 84% of Independents who thought

00:54:24.620 it was great.

00:54:25.080 If you fast forward 10 years, you've got 92% of Republicans, 78% of Democrats.

00:54:36.220 So it had fallen off from 87 to 78 in that period.

00:54:39.420 Okay.

00:54:39.880 Go to 2000.

00:54:41.240 But Republicans were the same or a little bit higher.

00:54:44.180 Yeah, basically the same.

00:54:44.980 And that was during Obama's reign of terror.

00:54:47.540 Let's go to 2013.

00:54:49.380 Yeah.

00:54:49.820 Okay.

00:54:50.120 Democrats, 85%.

00:54:53.360 Wow.

00:54:54.320 So you think about that.

00:54:55.280 They've gone from 87 to 85 in 12 years now.

00:54:59.040 Okay.

00:54:59.760 And Republicans, by the way, are at 93 in that scenario and Independents at 80%.

00:55:04.720 Wow.

00:55:05.220 So again, in the middle, you think of 2013, this is right after Mitt Romney loses.

00:55:10.120 I mean, this is a moment of real despair for a lot on the right because a lot of people

00:55:16.620 point at that and say, this is what's changed the Republican Party.

00:55:19.920 A lot of people say that loss for Mitt Romney in a time where obviously Obama was not doing

00:55:27.120 a good job as president.

00:55:28.400 And that's not me saying that.

00:55:30.220 His approval ratings sucked and he got reelected.

00:55:32.820 And a lot of that was to do with Mitt Romney's performance, frankly, you know, and obviously

00:55:38.060 as we saw after that, not really a conservative.

00:55:41.500 But that factor led into such frustration on the right that they wanted somebody who was

00:55:48.580 going to do something totally different.

00:55:50.380 And that's when Donald Trump stepped into that void and was able to really change the

00:55:54.480 party in a lot of good ways.

00:55:56.360 Some ways you might not like, some ways you might love.

00:55:58.820 But like, certainly the change is noticeable from that party.

00:56:02.940 93% Republicans approve of America at the time.

00:56:06.140 85% of Democrats, 80% of independents.

00:56:08.640 The fall all starts after this.

00:56:11.100 2015, it's still 80% for Democrats.

00:56:14.320 2016, 68%.

00:56:16.080 2017, 67%.

00:56:18.460 2018, 60%.

00:56:20.180 2019, 51%.

00:56:22.380 2020, 42%.

00:56:24.500 It bounces back up for the Biden era, but only to 62%.

00:56:28.820 Then drops to 52% in 2022.

00:56:32.580 2023, 55%.

00:56:34.060 2024, 62% in an election year.

00:56:37.260 And then they lose that election and now it's 36%.

00:56:40.380 So some of this is partisanship.

00:56:42.420 Some of this is Trump.

00:56:44.060 Some of this, I think, is, I think it's fair to say, especially when you look at the Biden

00:56:48.060 bounce back, if you will, only going up to the 60s and 50s.

00:56:52.280 A lot of this is just core in the Democratic movement.

00:56:55.920 There is a core element of the left that is based on the idea that we are not a great country

00:57:03.880 that has had some problems.

00:57:05.120 We are a horrible country that's done maybe a couple of good things here and there.

00:57:08.320 That is the major separation because throughout this entire period, Republican approval never

00:57:18.320 dropped below 84%.

00:57:21.820 And what year was it, 84?

00:57:24.180 2022, which is the peak of inflation during Biden.

00:57:27.360 It actually improves the last two years of the Biden administration, if you believe that,

00:57:32.460 up to 85%.

00:57:33.580 And now, of course, it's gone back up.

00:57:34.880 It just goes to show, though, that it's not affected by who's president with Republicans.

00:57:39.380 Not affected all that much.

00:57:41.040 Yeah, not really.

00:57:41.920 Because it only vacillated from 93% to 84%.

00:57:44.720 That's amazing.

00:57:46.460 Yes.

00:57:46.880 Given who was president during some of that time, during 12 of those years, you had Obama

00:57:54.000 for eight of them, which we hated.

00:57:56.760 We hated the Obama years.

00:57:59.120 And then the Biden years were even worse.

00:58:02.320 So for 12 of those years, we had presidents we really disliked, very strongly disliked.

00:58:09.000 You, Pat?

00:58:09.380 Yeah.

00:58:09.840 Uh-huh.

00:58:10.520 I'm very strong, but still love the country.

00:58:13.180 Still love the country.

00:58:13.700 Still very proud to be American.

00:58:15.520 Still very much say this is the best place to be.

00:58:18.660 Tells you a lot.

00:58:19.100 You know, I agree with you.

00:58:20.560 I think there is an element that has creeped in a little bit on the right.

00:58:24.260 I think it's, but I mean, it's quite clearly in the polling is very much at the fringes

00:58:28.040 saying, you know, we, you notice this a little bit with some of the Israel-Iran stuff.

00:58:35.680 Like basically, well, we kill people too.

00:58:38.600 And, you know, we do bad things too.

00:58:41.300 It's not just Iran.

00:58:42.120 How can we be, get on our high horses and say we're better than Iran? 1.00

00:58:45.500 Eh, we are.

00:58:47.480 It's pretty easy.

00:58:48.160 Frankly.

00:58:48.520 We can easily say it.

00:58:49.180 Very easily to do.

00:58:50.140 Yeah, I can do it without any problem at all.

00:58:51.620 Mm-hmm.

00:58:51.980 Can I give you the most concerning thing in this poll for me?

00:58:54.800 Mm-hmm.

00:58:55.120 I'm not shocked, frankly, that Democrats are, you know, don't like the country that much.

00:59:01.800 As I said, I think even in 2000, I think that number's inflated for Democrats.

00:59:06.080 They're saying the right thing early on in this polling for the first 10 years of this.

00:59:11.420 It will be, yeah.

00:59:11.840 The thing that's concerning to me more than anything else are independents. 0.63

00:59:16.320 Independents start off at 84%, and this is pretty standard through the first, I don't 1.00

00:59:21.580 know, 15 years of this polling, which is they are about at the level of Democrats and oftentimes

00:59:26.920 slightly lower than Democrats saying America is a great place.

00:59:30.900 Okay?

00:59:31.380 Mm-hmm.

00:59:31.700 Their fall, though, has been pretty consistent since the Trump era began as well.

00:59:37.960 Started in 2015 at 76%.

00:59:40.820 This is down a little bit from the very early days in 2001 of 84%.

00:59:44.540 So 84% to 76% in 14 years.

00:59:47.440 2015 at 76% goes down to 73% in 2017, 70% 2018, 66% 2019, 64% 2020.

01:00:00.000 And you say, okay, well, maybe they didn't like that first Trump, you know, presidency.

01:00:04.960 He was certainly a figure that divided people.

01:00:07.420 Maybe it's that.

01:00:08.440 But they don't bounce back for Biden, right?

01:00:10.500 They continue to see, this is a crap heap, it goes down to 63%, down to 60% in 2024, and

01:00:18.720 then how it's dropped now to 53% in 2025.

01:00:23.260 So just barely a majority of independents say America is great.

01:00:27.500 And I think that in some ways backs up the theory number two of how to read this poll.

01:00:33.560 It has now become kind of okay, popular, the cool thing to say that America is a bad place

01:00:43.240 rather than it's generally a good place.

01:00:46.120 And now you're seeing people, independents, who aren't necessarily pushed around by partisanship

01:00:50.700 as much, agreeing to this, I mean, from 84% to 53% among independents.

01:00:56.160 It's almost like a social contagion.

01:00:57.980 Yeah.

01:00:58.360 Yes.

01:00:59.620 It's why we have 19 times the amount of trans people in our society every month. 1.00

01:01:05.300 Yeah.

01:01:06.460 All of a sudden.

01:01:07.160 Yep.

01:01:07.400 Exactly right.

01:01:08.160 I just, I'm concerned about that because I'm not concerned that the left, I'm concerned

01:01:15.060 about it, but I'm not surprised at all that the left would turn against America.

01:01:18.420 Right.

01:01:18.880 It's frankly fundamental to everything they believe in, that America is a bad place.

01:01:23.700 If you want something like Zoran Mamdani, yeah, of course you think America sucks, right?

01:01:30.500 It's doing, it stands for everything this person is against.

01:01:34.860 Yeah.

01:01:35.260 It stands, you know, against capitalism.

01:01:37.580 It stands against free speech.

01:01:39.740 It stands against so many of these things that, you know, a Mamdani or a Bernie Sanders

01:01:44.240 would be against.

01:01:45.700 If you're on the left, I can kind of get why you might have problems.

01:01:48.360 If you're in the middle though, we shouldn't be seeing fall off like this.

01:01:52.940 Yeah.

01:01:53.360 Especially, you know, and again, in a period where things are better than they are.

01:01:58.080 And again, you go, I know maybe Ilhan Omar would choose Somalia over this, but other

01:02:02.820 than that, I don't think there's many people who would.

01:02:04.820 And speaking of Zoran Mamdani, we'll get into some interesting policies of his coming

01:02:10.100 up in one minute.

01:02:13.040 Do you wake up every morning wondering how pain is going to affect your day?

01:02:17.000 Well, Michael from Connecticut used to, but not anymore.

01:02:19.640 Let me tell you his relief factor story.

01:02:21.800 Michael was dealing with elbow pain, which made using his hand and his arm very difficult.

01:02:26.520 Nothing he tried worked until he started taking relief factor.

01:02:30.360 Well, his elbow pain went away.

01:02:32.300 And then he noticed my other aches and pains are going away on top of that.

01:02:36.860 He felt like he had more energy.

01:02:38.820 I mean, his life changed.

01:02:40.580 Same here, Michael.

01:02:41.680 I couldn't write.

01:02:42.540 I couldn't paint because of my pain.

01:02:44.060 I tried relief factor.

01:02:45.220 I had lost all hope until I tried relief factor.

01:03:12.920 Breaking news, Pat.

01:03:28.800 Breaking news.

01:03:30.280 Here on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK is the number.

01:03:34.440 It looks like we have verdicts in the P. Diddy trial.

01:03:38.580 Or the Diddy trial.

01:03:39.580 What am I supposed to call him?

01:03:40.740 Sean Combs.

01:03:41.460 Sean Combs.

01:03:42.160 The Sean Combs trial.

01:03:44.820 They had gone back and forth.

01:03:46.400 I think there was five charges.

01:03:47.760 They had four of them set yesterday.

01:03:50.020 And they were still stuck on the fifth one.

01:03:51.800 They said there was no way they were going to get to a resolution.

01:03:53.680 Then this morning, they came and they said, hey, we came to a resolution on the fifth one.

01:03:57.700 So, it is a unanimous.

01:04:01.540 They have unanimous around all five.

01:04:03.420 I'm just reading through this.

01:04:04.860 Count one, not guilty.

01:04:08.400 What was that count?

01:04:09.560 Does it say?

01:04:10.200 It says U.S. Combs.

01:04:11.320 My write-up does not have that.

01:04:13.740 Sex trafficking of Ventura, not guilty.

01:04:17.680 Transportation for prostitution, guilty.

01:04:20.660 Oh.

01:04:22.040 Sex trafficking, not guilty for the other woman, Jane,

01:04:26.840 which is known as Jane. 0.97

01:04:28.120 Transportation for prostitution, for Jane, guilty.

01:04:30.640 So, basically, it got him on the prostitution stuff, not on the sex trafficking stuff.

01:04:33.420 So, flying from state to state is what he's being,

01:04:37.160 what he got convicted for, right?

01:04:39.780 Yeah, I guess.

01:04:40.660 I think taking these women across state lines, it sounds like. 1.00

01:04:44.540 Yeah.

01:04:44.840 But he wasn't sex trafficking them.

01:04:47.420 That is, you know, again, I think.

01:04:50.400 Interesting.

01:04:51.240 It's an interesting line.

01:04:52.120 I will say when you look at the facts of the case,

01:04:55.040 you know, the sex trafficking thing, you know, I don't know.

01:05:00.200 Taking it out of the law for a second here.

01:05:02.160 Talking as people who have an understanding of the basic English language.

01:05:06.560 When I think of sex trafficking, what I'm thinking of is someone who's got a team of

01:05:11.740 prostitutes that they're forcing in a slavery way to do a bunch of things. 1.00

01:05:17.660 I don't know that that describes what he actually did.

01:05:20.660 Right.

01:05:20.820 At least my understanding of it.

01:05:23.580 Do you agree with that?

01:05:24.840 I do.

01:05:25.480 I don't know.

01:05:26.140 I think of something totally different when I think of sex trafficking.

01:05:29.260 And I really haven't followed it closely.

01:05:32.920 Because I have never been a P. Diddy fan.

01:05:37.480 What?

01:05:37.980 Yeah.

01:05:38.440 Sean Puff Daddy Combs or whatever he called himself.

01:05:41.820 I've never.

01:05:43.100 You?

01:05:43.720 It's surprising, right?

01:05:44.700 Yeah.

01:05:45.600 I don't have a single.

01:05:46.740 Wow.

01:05:47.040 That's shocking.

01:05:47.960 P. Diddy Puff Daddy album.

01:05:50.760 If he has them.

01:05:51.700 A none.

01:05:51.980 You don't even know if he has them?

01:05:53.040 I don't.

01:05:53.320 I don't even know if he has them.

01:05:55.400 I'm sure he must.

01:05:56.400 He must.

01:05:56.760 Right?

01:05:57.040 He must have something.

01:05:58.100 Odds are he does.

01:05:59.300 Odds are he does.

01:06:00.360 And I don't own any of them.

01:06:02.920 Nor have I ever listened to him on, let's say, a Spotify.

01:06:06.740 Where you wouldn't own, but you're just kind of borrowing the song to play it whenever you want.

01:06:10.500 Right.

01:06:10.840 Never done that.

01:06:12.480 So.

01:06:13.260 Are you sure?

01:06:14.000 I haven't followed him all of that, all that closely.

01:06:17.660 But it's interesting.

01:06:19.600 I did hear that he probably wasn't going to be convicted on the sex trafficking thing.

01:06:26.080 And sure enough, he was not, and he was not guilty on a racketeering conspiracy either.

01:06:30.920 It's tough, too, because there's a lot of texts that would indicate, at least for a significant period of time, the women were into this.

01:06:39.160 Right?

01:06:39.520 Yeah.

01:06:39.820 There's definitely.

01:06:40.500 Now, again, if they decide to change their mind on that, they deserve that opportunity.

01:06:46.800 And that wasn't always given to them.

01:06:49.020 And there were seemingly, I mean, the stuff I had read that I was more shocked and horrified about was seemingly physical abuse toward these women.

01:06:58.920 It wasn't necessarily transporting them for prostitution. 0.99

01:07:02.020 There was absolute proof of it in video form, right?

01:07:05.620 In that hotel hallway.

01:07:07.300 Thank you.

01:07:07.680 Yes, that's true.

01:07:08.600 Yeah.

01:07:08.880 It wasn't just the text.

01:07:09.760 Really ugly.

01:07:10.560 It was accused.

01:07:11.220 It was a video of it.

01:07:12.280 Yeah.

01:07:12.620 But he wasn't being charged with that.

01:07:14.520 Bizarrely, that's not what this is about.

01:07:16.440 Right.

01:07:17.400 Very strange.

01:07:18.280 The law is very complicated, Pat.

01:07:20.000 It is.

01:07:20.500 But it looks like P. Diddy is convicted on two counts, not guilty on three counts.

01:07:26.580 We'll see if we can give you the, the biggest one was the racketeering conspiracy charge, which was not guilty.

01:07:33.620 So that's the biggest one.

01:08:57.100 888-727-BECK.

01:08:59.200 Let's go to JD in Ohio.

01:09:02.540 Oh, is this JD Vance?

01:09:04.080 Hanging out in his home state?

01:09:05.680 Hey.

01:09:06.860 Welcome, JD.

01:09:07.880 We shouldn't have kept you on hold so long.

01:09:09.420 Sorry about that.

01:09:10.900 Well, luckily I was on a little meeting here in the car, so it's okay.

01:09:14.920 So, I want to talk about this child bank account.

01:09:19.460 Okay.

01:09:19.720 So, if you do the math, there's about 3.6 million babies born a year.

01:09:25.780 Besides the ones that are killed and abortion, but the ones that are actually born. 0.67

01:09:29.200 If you give them an $8,000 bank account the day they're born, they don't touch it the rest of their lives.

01:09:35.920 At age 63, it's worth over a million dollars.

01:09:40.180 That cost annually is about $30 billion.

01:09:42.560 So, if we could really get rid of Social Security by allocating about $30 billion a year for this program, and that's if they never put another dollar in it.

01:09:52.640 If they put something else in it, if they contribute to it, it's worth, you know, millions more.

01:09:57.300 Much more.

01:09:57.700 Now, of course, you'd have to get rid of Social Security, though, to make that viable, right?

01:10:04.140 I mean, that's what you're proposing?

01:10:06.900 There'd be a transition phase, you know, from people, you know, I'm in my 40s, somewhere in that age.

01:10:11.020 You know, we'd have to transition now.

01:10:12.140 I don't know exactly how to do it.

01:10:13.560 Yeah.

01:10:14.260 Yeah.

01:10:14.440 The cost up front would be, you know, the cost savings would be huge.

01:10:19.260 Yeah.

01:10:19.660 It would.

01:10:20.120 Now, I love this world that you're talking about.

01:10:23.780 I love it.

01:10:24.440 I'd like to live there, right?

01:10:26.600 Let's talk about how it would look here, though, JD, and I think you'll agree with this.

01:10:30.260 What would happen, number one, is we'd give $8,000 to the baby accounts.

01:10:34.920 Then we'd keep Social Security.

01:10:36.860 It would not go anywhere.

01:10:38.040 That is right.

01:10:38.540 Then there'd be arguments that you have to raise the $8,000 to more.

01:10:44.400 It would have to be $20,000.

01:10:45.740 Why isn't it $20,000?

01:10:46.840 Because, you know, AOC would come in and say it should be $20,000 or $30,000.

01:10:51.320 And then, of course, the other thing that would happen is, in the interim, the government would spend all those $8,000 accounts and say they were in a lockbox, spend it all in other crap, and then people would get to the end of their lives and not have any of the money.

01:11:04.040 Does that sound about right?

01:11:06.000 That sounds pretty accurate.

01:11:07.080 That sounds pretty accurate.

01:11:10.120 Yeah, unfortunately.

01:11:11.160 It would be great, though.

01:11:12.540 Yeah, thanks.

01:11:13.260 Thanks, JD.

01:11:13.940 Appreciate it.

01:11:14.240 Can I give you a quick basic example of what JD is talking about?

01:11:17.660 We had a proposal that was similar, in a way, to what JD was talking about.

01:11:22.780 It was made by George W. Bush in 2005.

01:11:26.320 Man, I wanted that to happen.

01:11:27.440 He came through the 2004 election, and he used what he believed was his political capital to try to get through Social Security privatized accounts.

01:11:35.360 And the left beat the crap out of him.

01:11:37.400 Beat the crap out of him.

01:11:37.980 Made it like he was trying to steal your Social Security from you and ruin Social Security when, A, it was optional.

01:11:47.220 It was optional.

01:11:48.200 Yep.

01:11:48.640 You could not enter it if you were really close to retirement.

01:11:51.820 Right.

01:11:51.980 They would not allow it.

01:11:53.000 Right.

01:11:53.240 It was a very small, I think it was, it was between four and eight percent of your Social Security accounts.

01:12:00.620 Yeah.

01:12:00.960 So it was a very, very small amount that you can contribute into these.

01:12:03.540 At the time, though, Pat, you could see some of the worry of people who were like, well, wait a minute.

01:12:11.220 What happens if the, if these, you know, stock market goes down and all these things could go wrong?

01:12:16.960 And we don't know what's going to happen in the future, which is true at that time.

01:12:21.140 It is no longer true, however.

01:12:22.640 We do now know what happened in the future.

01:12:24.660 And what would have happened is people would have had between two and five times the amount of money that they have now in Social Security.

01:12:32.360 It would have worked in incredible fashion, as J.D. was essentially hinting to, in an accurate way.

01:12:41.720 If you actually had a country that was disciplined, that could do this, you're right.

01:12:48.440 Basically, all scenarios, and that was the truth with the George W. Bush plan.

01:12:53.060 In all scenarios, everyone from the beginning to the end of the program that would have entered it would have wound up in a better place than actually they are today.

01:13:02.380 All of them, 100%.

01:13:04.080 Because there was a drop off, I guess, it was 2004.

01:13:07.440 So that great financial, great recessions period, 2008, 2009, we had a drop off in the markets.

01:13:13.700 But no one could have retired in that period, would have been affected by that because they weren't eligible.

01:13:20.200 Not to mention, again, it was only 4% to 8%.

01:13:22.400 I think there's two different proposals.

01:13:24.060 I just went over this data a little while ago.

01:13:25.880 But the proposals were like a minimal amount.

01:13:28.480 It wasn't like, hey, you could put all your money in its stocks.

01:13:30.700 They didn't even allow that.

01:13:32.060 Which, again, I would argue that if it's our money, maybe we should be able to do what we want with it.

01:13:37.720 But this was just a very small slice.

01:13:40.040 And even that, it would have been much, much, much more than we actually do have for these people.

01:13:46.300 So we basically, this nonsensical argument that everyone in the media made against George W. Bush at the time, he was proved completely correct about.

01:13:55.720 And wound up costing people who are now retiring tens and sometimes six figures, low six figures in income that they could have had today.

01:14:05.960 So good job, everybody.

01:14:07.160 Good job.

01:14:07.420 Yeah, we did it.

01:14:08.080 We did it, America.

01:14:09.060 We did it once again.

01:14:09.980 We did it to ourselves once again.

01:14:12.780 Unfortunately, this is the real world we live in with a media that does these things.

01:14:16.540 Yeah.

01:14:16.840 You know?

01:14:17.400 It's why I, when the fair tax used to be talked about all the time.

01:14:22.920 It's one of the reasons I basically opposed that because.

01:14:26.400 Can you remind people what the fair tax was?

01:14:27.920 The fair tax was a, it was a value-added tax.

01:14:30.780 It was a sales tax, essentially.

01:14:32.280 National sales tax.

01:14:33.500 On everything that's new.

01:14:35.840 So if you built a home, you would pay the tax on it.

01:14:38.640 If you bought a new car, you would pay the tax on it.

01:14:41.640 If you bought an existing home or an existing car, you don't pay the sales tax.

01:14:45.960 So it was originally talked about to be around 23%.

01:14:50.620 So it's a hefty tax.

01:14:53.920 However, they said they would do away with the IRS.

01:14:58.840 Right.

01:14:59.160 So you would have no income tax at all.

01:15:02.160 Your gross is your net.

01:15:04.100 It's the same number.

01:15:05.640 That's appealing.

01:15:06.040 So if you make $100,000 a year, you get $100,000, not $60,000.

01:15:12.560 So you get all your money and they eliminate all of the hidden taxes and all of the FICA stuff and all of that.

01:15:20.660 And it would be replaced by the sales tax.

01:15:22.860 Well, I just knew that what would happen is they wouldn't get rid of the IRS.

01:15:28.020 They would tell you they're going to try or they're going to do it, but then they wouldn't.

01:15:33.280 And you would wind up with both the sales tax of 23% and the current income tax.

01:15:39.140 Which, by the way, is the situation in Europe.

01:15:41.740 Right.

01:15:41.980 Right.

01:15:42.120 Like they have all of those types of taxes.

01:15:44.260 That was that's what you get hit with in Europe like crazy.

01:15:49.040 I agree.

01:15:49.920 That's probably what would have happened here.

01:15:51.320 I mean, the argument by some of them at the time was, hey, you know, it has to be essentially part of the same amendment of the Constitution, which would be the only way you could even entertain.

01:15:59.440 Yes.

01:15:59.780 You would have, first of all, get rid of the IRS.

01:16:02.020 When you do that, then, OK, yeah, maybe you can talk about the sales tax, the national sales tax or a flat tax would be great.

01:16:09.040 And I don't know that you necessarily have to get rid of the IRS if you just do a flat tax.

01:16:13.880 You do 15% or whatever it is we decide on.

01:16:17.120 But everybody pays the same.

01:16:18.880 That's another tough sell because supposedly the rich would be paying less than or the exact same as the poor, which is so ridiculous.

01:16:27.940 Yeah, I was listening to it.

01:16:29.440 I mean, you just realize how this stuff happens.

01:16:31.240 I was listening to a CNN interview, unfortunately, with a congressman about the big, beautiful bill.

01:16:37.240 And the setup to the question, I wish I could remember the congressman, we could find the audio, but the setup to the question was so offensive to anyone who knows anything about the situation.

01:16:48.260 It's like Donald Trump is going to increase the deficit by $5 trillion with tax cuts that almost exclusively go to the wealthy.

01:16:59.020 And it's like all of this stuff.

01:17:00.300 It drives me out of my mind.

01:17:02.040 This is not true.

01:17:04.000 It's not true.

01:17:05.600 None of that statement was true.

01:17:07.020 No.

01:17:07.620 And the congressman was like, well, I take issues with the way you framed this, first of all.

01:17:14.600 And he went through the stuff.

01:17:15.700 And I gave what I remember to be a relatively fine answer.

01:17:19.920 But they're not always there to push back, right?

01:17:23.560 All these stories are written with that tone before anyone gets a chance to push back.

01:17:30.360 And then when you push back, you're just seen as this, like the Medicaid cut thing we talked about earlier.

01:17:35.180 If you missed this earlier in the show, we went through what they are calling Medicaid cuts.

01:17:39.540 What they are largely calling Medicaid cuts are these, what they say are work requirements.

01:17:45.280 So, they're saying, hey, you got to, if you're able-bodied, so not someone who's disabled, for example.

01:17:50.880 I know that's not the right terminology.

01:17:52.780 Differently abled.

01:17:54.140 If you're differently abled.

01:17:56.240 So stupid.

01:17:56.940 If you're disabled or if you're out of the age range, like if you're a senior or whatever and you have Medicaid, you're not affected by this at all.

01:18:04.860 What they're saying is work requirement.

01:18:06.240 If you're a 35-year-old guy that's totally fine, you got to get a job or at least try to get a job.

01:18:12.080 You can't just sit at home with no income at all and no work requirements and still get our free or very heavily discounted medical care.

01:18:24.700 What they are saying, what they are calling a cut is that they figure that some people in that group will just not bother.

01:18:32.860 They won't file the paperwork, so they won't, or they won't want to work.

01:18:37.340 They'll choose to not work and not get the insurance, and those people will not go into the Medicaid system.

01:18:44.500 Therefore, the Medicaid system will cost less.

01:18:48.820 It's not that they won't have access to the program.

01:18:50.900 They will have access to the program.

01:18:52.240 They're not cutting anybody's access to the program at all.

01:18:55.020 They're just saying if you don't hit these requirements, some people will just not bother to get it, and then the program will cost less.

01:19:03.320 They're calling that a cut to Medicaid.

01:19:05.200 That's what they're calling a cut.

01:19:06.240 And it's insanity.

01:19:08.540 It is insanity, but that is what they're doing.

01:19:11.540 And when that is so much the conversation that you probably, before today, haven't even heard that's what they're doing,

01:19:22.000 you understand how these programs get locked in forever, and I have no ability to have any optimism over an $8,000 account that will solve our problems when babies are born.

01:19:31.700 It's just, frankly, it's just not the way our country operates.

01:19:36.060 Because the media will always be there.

01:19:39.800 The Democrats will always be there.

01:19:41.380 And, frankly, a lot of Republicans will always be there saying, oh, these are Medicaid cuts.

01:19:44.940 We have Republican senators today saying the reason they won't vote for this bill is because of the Medicaid cuts.

01:19:50.760 When this is the reality of the situation.

01:19:55.580 So, I mean, I think you've got to deal with the world that we live in, unfortunately.

01:20:01.380 Yeah.

01:20:01.820 And it's not always so positive.

01:20:03.460 Yeah.

01:20:03.580 And it's stacked against any kind of conservatism.

01:20:07.940 Because you've got the mainstream media that you have to navigate against, and you have the left.

01:20:13.620 So, it's very difficult.

01:20:16.960 888-727-BECK.

01:20:20.060 You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences.

01:20:25.660 There's rough terrain ahead.

01:20:28.460 Saddle up, my friend, and stay tuned.

01:20:31.180 Glenn Beck will be right back.

01:20:33.580 You know those brutal summer nights, tossing, turning, flipping the pillow, trying to find the cool spot?

01:20:50.120 I've been there.

01:20:51.100 That's exactly why I switched to Cozy Earth Sheets.

01:20:53.160 They're made from viscose, from bamboo, and they are designed to naturally wick away the heat and the moisture,

01:20:59.240 which helps your body stay several degrees cooler at night.

01:21:02.660 I didn't realize how much of a difference it would make until Tanya and I tried them.

01:21:06.100 Studies show that when your body sleeps cooler, it releases more melatonin.

01:21:10.140 So, you fall asleep faster, you sleep deeper, and you wake up feeling actually rested.

01:21:14.800 Plus, cooler sleep can even help regulate your mood.

01:21:18.260 Cozy Earth will completely transform your 5 to 9, the time that matters most.

01:21:22.620 And with their 100-night sleep trial, you've got nothing to lose.

01:21:26.540 Test them out during the hottest nights of the year, and if you don't love them, send them back.

01:21:30.260 But I don't think you're going to want to, because they work.

01:21:32.580 Upgrade your summer.

01:21:33.520 Go to CozyEarth.com.

01:21:43.140 Lounge lighter.

01:21:44.200 Stay cozy.

01:21:44.760 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners, I started wondering,

01:21:51.120 is every fabulous item I see from Winners?

01:21:54.240 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans. 1.00

01:21:56.960 Are those from Winners?

01:21:58.480 Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings.

01:22:00.940 Did she pay full price?

01:22:02.300 Or that leather tote?

01:22:03.300 Or that cashmere sweater?

01:22:04.500 Or those knee-high boots?

01:22:05.980 That dress?

01:22:06.760 That jacket?

01:22:07.440 Those shoes?

01:22:08.100 Is anyone paying full price for anything?

01:22:11.540 Stop wondering.

01:22:12.700 Start winning.

01:22:13.620 Winners.

01:22:14.000 Find fabulous for less.

01:22:27.840 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

01:22:31.800 This is amazing that CNN has claimed now that shutting down USAID, which happened,

01:22:43.300 I don't believe yesterday was their last official day at USAID, but it's going to contribute

01:22:50.200 to 14 million deaths.

01:22:55.300 14 million deaths?

01:22:56.800 14 million.

01:22:58.180 Cut eight.

01:22:58.820 Here's CNN talking about it.

01:23:00.380 Secretary of State Marco Rubio is hailing the end of USAID, the nation's largest foreign aid agency.

01:23:06.980 Get this.

01:23:07.320 Even as a new analysis finds that its closure could contribute to some 14 million deaths

01:23:12.000 in the next five years.

01:23:13.900 Really?

01:23:14.760 14 million?

01:23:15.940 14 million.

01:23:17.180 Yeah, this is the problem I have with conservatism overall, which is, I mean, we were shooting

01:23:22.360 for at least 20 million dead, right?

01:23:23.940 Well, I was hoping for 100 million.

01:23:25.860 Well, yeah, but I was shooting for the sky.

01:23:27.880 Yeah, you're hardcore.

01:23:29.120 I am hardcore.

01:23:30.580 The majorities aren't large enough to get 100 million dead.

01:23:33.400 We were shooting for at least 20 million, though.

01:23:35.540 25 million, maybe?

01:23:37.360 Yeah, yeah.

01:23:38.160 And we're only getting 14 million dead.

01:23:40.420 And we're falling well short of that.

01:23:41.320 And that's over five years, Stu.

01:23:43.240 So that's not even...

01:23:43.780 That's right.

01:23:44.380 Some of those might not even happen.

01:23:45.340 What is that?

01:23:45.780 Three million?

01:23:46.460 A little over three million a year?

01:23:48.100 Some of those people might even escape us.

01:23:50.120 They might.

01:23:50.920 And that's terrible news.

01:23:53.460 So ridiculous.

01:23:54.220 So stupid.

01:23:54.640 What are you talking about 14?

01:23:56.420 Where is that coming from?

01:23:58.420 Seriously.

01:23:58.800 It's got to be some UN analysis.

01:24:00.880 I'm sure it is.

01:24:01.700 But I want to hear the breakdown of how all of these people are dying because of the non-existence

01:24:07.980 of it.

01:24:08.340 Well, a lot of it assumes, by the way, and a big chunk of this is they assume nothing

01:24:11.880 ever happens in its place.

01:24:13.740 Yes, that's true.

01:24:14.560 Like we fund a bunch of, for example, HIV medication for Africa.

01:24:18.260 And it's in a program that has been largely successful.

01:24:21.220 Yeah.

01:24:21.540 And we pull that money away.

01:24:22.960 They say everybody who now dies.

01:24:25.680 Now, in reality, what will happen, of course, is charities.

01:24:28.580 Maybe other nations will chip in for some of this.

01:24:30.500 I don't know.

01:24:30.880 We've been doing it for a long time.

01:24:33.100 Maybe they'll step up.

01:24:34.440 Maybe the countries will find it to be a priority.

01:24:37.560 Churches?

01:24:37.580 Somebody?

01:24:37.980 Right.

01:24:38.420 Like it's not all us or nothing, but that's how they assume and come up with these ridiculous

01:24:42.100 numbers.

01:24:42.560 And by the way, here's what Russ Vogt was talking about them spending that money

01:24:47.860 on anyway.

01:24:48.840 Americans have been funding the following.

01:24:51.080 Okay.

01:24:51.280 $5.5 million to LGBTQ advocacy in Uganda.

01:24:56.020 Oh.

01:24:56.420 $800,000 for transgender people, sex workers, and their clients in Nepal.

01:25:01.200 Oh, and their clients are helped, yeah.

01:25:03.000 They don't have to talk about it.

01:25:04.820 They don't have to talk about it enough.

01:25:05.860 They don't have to talk about it enough.

01:25:05.880 No.

01:25:06.180 Pastry cooking, psychosocial counseling, a cyber cafe, and the dance focus groups for

01:25:13.060 male prostitutes in Haiti. 0.85

01:25:14.940 Okay.

01:25:15.340 Okay.

01:25:15.660 We get female prostitutes to get some of that money too. 1.00

01:25:17.820 Come on.

01:25:18.400 And what about the gender nonspecific?

01:25:21.680 Right.

01:25:21.840 Where is their money?

01:25:23.440 Only male prostitutes are getting this dancing cash? 1.00

01:25:26.140 That's sad.

01:25:26.960 So, yes, while 14 million people may be dying over the next five years, most of those are 0.93

01:25:31.600 going to be male prostitute dancers in outer Mongolia or someplace.

01:25:37.400 One-legged deaf transvestite nuns. 1.00

01:25:39.740 Well, I mean, I'm sorry.

01:25:41.240 Do we live in a world where we want our male prostitutes to be bad dancers? 1.00

01:25:44.720 No, we do not.

01:25:45.840 Of all things.

01:25:46.740 No, we do not.

01:25:47.520 I don't want that world.

01:25:48.560 Well, it'd be a total embarrassment for Americans.

01:25:50.360 I want them to be fantastic dancers.

01:25:52.200 I want the choreography to be brilliant whenever I'm hanging around male prostitutes. 1.00

01:25:58.140 I want them to just be able to get down at the first note coming over the speaker.

01:26:02.760 With their bad selves.

01:26:03.760 Yes.

01:26:04.160 Yeah.

01:26:04.580 And not only that, but when they're tipped while they're dancing, these male dancing prostitutes, 0.99

01:26:10.300 I want them not to be taxed on those tips.

01:26:13.080 That's true.

01:26:13.840 That's true.

01:26:14.560 I mean, I will say waiters, waitresses, strippers, whenever you get tipped.

01:26:18.860 Right.

01:26:19.320 And I don't know if this is going to help everyone.

01:26:20.800 I mean, I guess it'll help me a little bit because, you know, I do it on the weekends.

01:26:25.880 Right.

01:26:26.080 But it's only a part-time job for you.

01:26:27.500 I don't think it's central to your vote.

01:26:29.640 You know what I mean?

01:26:31.040 When you're doing your exotic dancing, that's usually only on Saturday afternoons.

01:26:35.740 Usually.

01:26:37.040 Sometimes it goes into evening, but this is Glenn Beck.

01:26:50.800 It's maybe a little of a bunch of travel to continue on a weekend.

01:26:55.120 Thank you.

01:26:55.840 You need to go.

01:26:59.080 We'll be right back.

01:27:29.080 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

01:27:35.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:42.080 Alright, we've got to get into the Zoran Mandani situation.

01:27:48.880 This is the communist Islamist running for mayor of New York City.

01:27:53.060 He's the lead candidate right now.

01:27:54.820 Can anybody stop him from becoming mayor of New York City?

01:27:59.820 Doesn't look good, really.

01:28:02.180 We'll get into that and talk about some of his policies.

01:28:05.180 The grocery store policy is interesting.

01:28:07.640 We'll talk about that coming up in one minute.

01:28:09.900 We're entering some very uncertain times with everything that is happening overseas.

01:28:17.740 We need to be on alert at home as well.

01:28:20.140 You should have a Burna on you at all times, especially one that is small enough to conceal wherever you go.

01:28:26.040 Meet the new Compact Launcher.

01:28:28.540 It's touted as the world's smallest, less lethal pistol launcher.

01:28:32.420 The same size as a smartphone, but it has all the firepower that you need to stop an attacker in their tracks without dealing with a mental or financial repercussion of using a real firearm.

01:28:42.520 These are equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammunition.

01:28:45.760 It's designed to stop somebody right in their tracks and incapacitate them for up to 40 minutes.

01:28:50.840 The Compact Launcher is perfect for women who want protection but don't want to really carry a firearm. 0.62

01:28:55.480 And if you're traveling this summer, Burna is legal in all 50 states.

01:28:58.860 It requires no background checks and can be shipped directly to your door.

01:29:03.140 Burna is proudly American with every unit that is hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

01:29:08.460 So visit Burna.com today and find the right launcher for your family.

01:29:12.120 That's Burna.com.

01:29:13.440 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

01:29:29.600 Oh, good.

01:29:30.900 I love Pat and Stu for Glenn.

01:29:32.880 We're talking about Zoran Mamdani.

01:29:35.840 He is the Democratic nominee for mayoral...

01:29:41.580 I heard him babbling the other day.

01:29:43.620 ...about not moderating your message as a socialist, right?

01:29:49.360 Oh, the one when he's in space?

01:29:51.140 Yes.

01:29:51.940 Do not moderate that message.

01:29:55.240 Why did you run as a Democrat then?

01:29:57.160 Weird.

01:29:57.900 Why didn't you run as the lead socialist of the Socialist Party or a communist?

01:30:05.020 What are you talking...

01:30:06.000 Of course, he moderated his message so that he could become the Democrat nominee.

01:30:11.500 He's not a Democrat.

01:30:12.500 Yeah, you know, I think that's this clip.

01:30:14.620 This is the one where he's talking about seizing the means of production.

01:30:17.980 I think it's the same clip.

01:30:19.400 I mean, do I have that?

01:30:20.000 Yeah, he's in space.

01:30:20.820 Here's Zoran Mamdani with a weird background of a video where he's actually in space.

01:30:25.820 What the purpose is about this entire project is not simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism.

01:30:32.540 Obviously, raising class consciousness is a critical part of that, but making sure that we have candidates that both understand that and are willing to put that forward at every which moment that they have, at every which opportunity that they are given.

01:30:44.420 We have to continue to elect more socialists, and we have to ensure that we are unapologetic about our socialists.

01:30:53.320 There are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS, right?

01:30:58.340 Or whether it's the end goal of seizing the means of production, where we do not have the same level of support at this very moment.

01:31:06.760 And what I want to say is that it is critical that the way that we organize, the way that we set up our work and our priorities, that we do not leave any one issue for the other, that we do not meet a moment and only look at what people are ready for, but that we are doing both of these things in tandem.

01:31:28.360 Marxism with a smile.

01:31:29.720 You love to see it, don't you?

01:31:31.040 That's a big part of this.

01:31:32.880 Huge.

01:31:33.260 I will say, you know, the delivery mechanism of someone like Bernie Sanders with this exact same message.

01:31:40.440 Or I will even say AOC, who's often angry and dour and like, you know, again, she's a more attractive package, I guess, than Bernie Sanders.

01:31:49.560 But like, you know, there's very rarely smiling happening with AOC.

01:31:53.700 She's angry at everybody.

01:31:55.120 This guy is doing it the totally different way.

01:31:57.220 He's so nice about his Marxism.

01:31:58.880 The biggest smile he has in that entire thing.

01:32:01.920 And he smiles throughout the entire thing.

01:32:03.480 But the biggest smile he has is, he said, after we seize means of production.

01:32:07.620 Right.

01:32:07.960 Right.

01:32:08.200 Like he's saying.

01:32:09.540 He knows what he's doing.

01:32:10.320 He knows what he's doing.

01:32:11.480 And if you really like listen to what he said there, it's basically like we can't just take the popular parts of socialism, right?

01:32:19.740 Like free health care and just push for that.

01:32:22.120 Right.

01:32:22.380 We have to go for all of it.

01:32:23.620 However, he is doing that with his mayoral election.

01:32:28.460 He's just doing it with a smile.

01:32:30.720 And an example of this is his, when you say seize the means of production, a good step of this is taking over grocery stores and making it so.

01:32:39.140 Which he plans to do.

01:32:40.360 Yeah.

01:32:40.480 This is one of his central policies.

01:32:41.720 This is how it's going to become affordable to live in New York City.

01:32:44.720 You don't have to pay for your food, I guess.

01:32:46.620 Or he's going to lower the prices so low because they're government run that they can operate at a loss or just a break even spot.

01:32:55.780 I don't know.

01:32:56.380 This is infuriating to me.

01:32:57.700 It kicks me into a rant that I always have on this thing because this seems crazy.

01:33:04.560 Would you say like to the average person living in Ohio in a medium-sized town, it would be crazy for your town to just open up a grocery store?

01:33:15.480 Yes, it would be.

01:33:16.300 A town-owned grocery store.

01:33:19.320 And anybody who said they were going to do that would lose.

01:33:22.980 Yes, I agree.

01:33:24.280 You would think.

01:33:24.420 And you'd think, too, like if they were to say, hey, and one of the big benefits is we'll make it, we'll undercut the prices of the actual businesses that opened in our town.

01:33:36.680 Because we don't have a profit motive and, of course, have no reason to actually make the budget balance as no one seems to have in government.

01:33:43.800 Right.

01:33:44.000 We just always raise taxes more.

01:33:45.640 We have that backing.

01:33:46.760 We'll get it built for free.

01:33:48.080 We won't have to pay that back.

01:33:49.180 We'll take all tax dollars.

01:33:50.320 We won't have to spend a dime of our money to build it.

01:33:52.500 We'll get all tax dollars to build it.

01:33:54.420 And then we'll undercut the people who are here actually paying taxes to the community.

01:33:59.460 That would be a really bad idea.

01:34:01.060 I will note to almost everybody in a medium-sized town, in the entire listening audience, this is exactly what every town does with rec centers instead of gyms.

01:34:13.300 And it's like everyone seems to think that's okay.

01:34:16.140 We're just going to build a beautiful multi-million dollar rec center in our town and the established gyms that people pay membership fees to will undercut those membership costs and then we'll still collect money from our competition to pay for our gym.

01:34:34.140 This happens all over America.

01:34:36.280 It's not just gyms, but that's just the easiest example.

01:34:39.020 It is amazing what flavors of socialism we'll put up with and which we won't.

01:34:44.480 I know that no one else cares about that issue except me, but it just is infuriating to me.

01:34:48.820 It's like, wait, why did I have to spend all this money in taxes for you to build this thing when there's three gyms in the area?

01:34:54.860 Then I don't want to go to any of them, by the way.

01:34:57.520 I should note.

01:34:58.380 I didn't say, hey, well, I really want to go to a gym.

01:35:01.280 I quite clearly do not.

01:35:03.980 Anyway, but that is what he's proposing here.

01:35:06.280 The exact same thing except with grocery stores.

01:35:08.380 Exact same thing.

01:35:09.480 He's saying he's going to build grocery stores.

01:35:11.200 He's going to take.

01:35:12.100 Now, how is he going to pay for these, Pat?

01:35:13.840 That's the tough thing because you know what?

01:35:15.680 The conservatives will say, how are you going to pay for this?

01:35:18.360 This is his proposal as he describes it with giant smiles throughout how he's going to take over the grocery store system in New York.

01:35:29.180 Grocery prices are out of control.

01:35:31.020 The cost of eggs and milk has skyrocketed.

01:35:33.480 Some stores are even using dynamic pricing, jacking up the cost over the course of a day depending on what they can get away with.

01:35:39.500 It doesn't need to be this way.

01:35:40.940 I'm Zahran Mandani, and as mayor, I will create a network of city-owned grocery stores.

01:35:45.420 It's like a public option for produce.

01:35:47.320 We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores whose mission is lower prices, not price gouging.

01:35:56.440 These stores will operate without a profit motive or having to pay property taxes or rent, and we'll pass on those savings to you.

01:36:03.060 Now, think about how unbelievably unfair that would be to other grocery stores.

01:36:09.260 They're not going to have to pay rent.

01:36:11.340 They're not going to have to pay taxes.

01:36:12.900 They're going to get all the buildings built for buy taxes, right? 0.97

01:36:17.320 And so all these places are like, wait a minute, we need to charge $3 for eggs.

01:36:20.920 They can just charge $2 for eggs in theory.

01:36:23.460 Again, this is all in socialist theory.

01:36:25.340 But there's a bigger problem with this particular proposal.

01:36:29.500 He's smiling throughout that, by the way.

01:36:31.480 It is the exact pitch you got for Obamacare.

01:36:35.820 If you remember, the public option.

01:36:37.560 I do remember.

01:36:38.440 Right?

01:36:38.940 Yeah.

01:36:39.500 You're going to pay $2,500 less per family, per year.

01:36:42.800 If you want to keep your grocery store, Pat, keep your grocery store.

01:36:46.760 If you like it, you can keep it.

01:36:49.080 But no, here we are now with grocery stores, and we're all like, I mean, and it does sound

01:36:55.000 completely insane.

01:36:56.580 But it's better than that.

01:36:58.400 It is better than that, Pat.

01:37:00.620 Because what his plan is to pay for that, that would be the first thing anyone would point

01:37:06.160 out.

01:37:06.360 Like, wait, how are you going to pay for that?

01:37:07.960 Raise taxes?

01:37:08.760 No, no.

01:37:09.160 No, he's going to redirect money that's going to corporate grocery stores.

01:37:15.140 Yeah.

01:37:15.640 The big, evil, big grocery.

01:37:17.800 Big grocery.

01:37:18.480 We all hate so much.

01:37:19.960 Right.

01:37:20.600 So in theory, like, depending on what your grocery store is around you, or Kroger, or

01:37:24.380 an Albertsons, or a Stop and Shop, or a Whole Foods, whatever it is, the New York City government

01:37:31.420 is taking millions of dollars and giving it to these grocery stores for some reason.

01:37:36.700 Now, that, to me, stands out as something odd.

01:37:40.240 It sure does, yeah.

01:37:41.260 Like, what do you mean?

01:37:42.620 Why are they giving away money to grocery stores? 1.00

01:37:45.960 Why aren't grocery stores just doing what every grocery store, my understanding was

01:37:50.000 they just come in, and they open it up if they think they'll be profitable, and they

01:37:55.020 stay open as long as they can be.

01:37:56.460 Right?

01:37:56.660 That's my understanding of grocery stores.

01:37:58.560 Yeah.

01:37:59.000 Now, it's so funny to hear this, because first of all, it's built on a left-wing lie.

01:38:06.700 First of all, the reason why there would be any reason to give money to grocery stores

01:38:11.480 in New York City is because they complained about food deserts, okay?

01:38:16.740 Uh-huh.

01:38:17.080 They said, there's no grocery stores here for people to eat.

01:38:21.080 They have to go too far to get their groceries.

01:38:23.240 So, we are going to try to promote a program that forces these places, or incentivizes them,

01:38:31.660 I suppose, with lots of money, to build grocery stores in these areas where there are none.

01:38:35.580 Now, I had a series called Wonderful World of Stew on Blaze TV, which preceded the Stew

01:38:40.280 Does America.

01:38:41.140 And in that, we had a series called Deserted, was a segment we did.

01:38:44.380 And we would go to the government website, and we would find food deserts, and we would

01:38:48.780 travel to the food deserts, and I would take people inside the grocery stores that very

01:38:52.820 much did exist inside of these food deserts.

01:38:55.440 Right.

01:38:55.700 There really weren't food deserts.

01:38:56.980 They weren't food deserts.

01:38:58.020 These were lies.

01:38:58.880 In fact, some of them were in New York City.

01:39:00.540 Yeah.

01:39:01.060 So, that on its...

01:39:02.800 This was big when we lived in that area.

01:39:05.260 Right.

01:39:05.580 When we lived there.

01:39:06.300 They were talking about food deserts.

01:39:08.200 All the time.

01:39:08.640 All the time.

01:39:09.480 And we're like, where is this food desert?

01:39:11.880 Right.

01:39:12.260 There's food everywhere.

01:39:13.360 There are grocery stores everywhere.

01:39:13.900 Restaurants, foods, bodegas, everywhere.

01:39:16.980 Yep.

01:39:17.420 So, this wasn't even true.

01:39:18.860 But the only reason this system exists at all, that he's proposing, which is money going

01:39:24.200 to corporate grocery stores, is because the left demanded it happen. 0.98

01:39:27.580 Okay?

01:39:28.320 Mm-hmm.

01:39:28.880 However, there's even more to the story than this.

01:39:31.720 Because what happened with this program is he's saying $140 million goes from New York

01:39:36.960 City government to these grocery stores.

01:39:40.180 However, where this is not true at all, where he gets this number is a program, and he describes

01:39:47.540 it, called FRESH.

01:39:48.640 It's called Food Retail Expansion to Support Health.

01:39:51.420 Again, does that sound like a conservative program?

01:39:53.660 It is not.

01:39:54.440 It is a food desert attack program, supposedly.

01:39:57.640 It's called FRESH.

01:39:58.460 If you go to the website, they have a fancy website, tells you about the program.

01:40:02.600 And let me just show you, Pat, and you can explain this to the audience.

01:40:06.880 But this is the website here.

01:40:08.900 And you see, that's like promoting the website.

01:40:12.060 Hey, look at all these wonderful things that we did.

01:40:14.180 You saw the, what did you see?

01:40:15.300 The one big yellow box, right?

01:40:16.820 Yeah.

01:40:16.960 There's one big yellow box on the website.

01:40:19.460 The yellow box says, $140 million, the amount of money invested in New York City's economy

01:40:26.020 through FRESH.

01:40:26.740 That's the program name.

01:40:28.640 Okay.

01:40:29.060 So that's what he's saying.

01:40:30.120 He's saying, we're going to take that money and give it to socialist grocery stores instead

01:40:35.200 of the evil Kroger or whatever they have in New York for Whole Foods.

01:40:38.300 Yep.

01:40:38.860 Okay.

01:40:39.320 So in some ways, you'd say, all right, I guess that kind of makes sense.

01:40:43.020 I mean, it doesn't make sense to me, but in a socialist mindset, you're a New York City

01:40:46.620 voter.

01:40:47.020 Maybe that makes sense to you.

01:40:47.940 The problem with it is the $140 million number that's in the yellow box on this website is

01:40:55.800 actually not the amount of money given from the government to corporate grocery stores.

01:41:01.240 That number is the amount that corporate grocery stores have invested to bring grocery stores

01:41:08.020 into New York.

01:41:09.700 This money does not come from the government.

01:41:12.480 It comes from the corporate grocery stores who invested their own money to build and open

01:41:19.580 up grocery stores inside of New York City.

01:41:21.440 This website is bragging about, hey, we did this system and we brought in all this corporate

01:41:27.220 money into New York.

01:41:28.460 That's what they're bragging about.

01:41:29.780 It's not money that goes to the grocery stores from the government.

01:41:34.640 The only thing that happens with this program, in fact, no money, Pat, goes from the government

01:41:41.100 to these stores.

01:41:42.100 Zero dollars.

01:41:43.080 The only thing that happens is they get a couple of tax benefits that is something like

01:41:48.020 a couple of million dollars, which again is not New York City's money.

01:41:53.200 It is the corporate money of the grocery stores and they get a slight reduction in their taxes

01:41:57.820 to come into these areas.

01:42:00.140 So none of this money exists.

01:42:02.920 Now, this is a central program of his mayoral run.

01:42:07.360 It is the thing he's probably promoted more than anything else outside of free or no rent

01:42:12.600 increases, which is a whole nother socialist catastrophe waiting to happen.

01:42:16.640 So now let me take it to another level, because this is a fascinating story to me.

01:42:22.800 This story was written by Tim Carney.

01:42:26.440 Tim Carney is a guy.

01:42:27.580 You might know him.

01:42:28.480 He's been on my show.

01:42:29.580 Maybe he's been on yours.

01:42:30.780 He's a conservative writer and he writes for the Washington Examiner.

01:42:37.960 Tim Carney is a good guy.

01:42:39.280 He's a good writer.

01:42:40.000 I'm glad he did this story.

01:42:41.500 Why is it left to Tim Carney, a conservative in a Washington newspaper, to figure this out?

01:42:51.800 The New York Times has probably written a thousand articles about this race.

01:42:56.720 And at no point did they bother to look at any detail of one of his central proposals.

01:43:04.180 Wow.

01:43:05.240 That's unbelievable.

01:43:06.300 How on earth did none of the New York media, basically the center of all media in the United

01:43:13.220 States, nobody, nobody bothered to look at anything that actually was going on with this

01:43:21.600 story.

01:43:22.260 No one said, hey, wait a minute.

01:43:24.200 Where is this money coming from?

01:43:25.520 Shouldn't we check into that?

01:43:26.620 Are we really giving $140 million away to grocery stores?

01:43:32.380 Why would we do such a thing?

01:43:34.800 Nobody bothered to check it.

01:43:36.920 And of course, the answer is, they're not.

01:43:39.200 They're not giving that money.

01:43:40.300 They're not giving that money.

01:43:41.560 So where is he going to get that money?

01:43:43.120 Well, he doesn't have it now.

01:43:44.600 And of course, does he come out and say, gosh, holy crap, did I blow it?

01:43:48.660 I'm so sorry.

01:43:49.640 I just saw this yellow box and based my entire campaign on it.

01:43:53.460 No, he doesn't bother to do that.

01:43:55.220 But what he instead does is just ignore this.

01:43:59.180 And is anyone pushing him on it?

01:44:00.640 Nope.

01:44:01.380 Nope.

01:44:01.620 Nope.

01:44:02.200 Even after this, no one's pressing him on it.

01:44:04.020 Not been asked at all.

01:44:05.060 No, no one.

01:44:05.940 He hasn't really had to release a statement, at least as of several hours ago, maybe he's

01:44:10.720 addressed it.

01:44:11.140 But this has been several days since the story came out.

01:44:13.220 Wow.

01:44:14.060 So the money doesn't exist.

01:44:17.020 The program is based on a lie, a misreading of a giant yellow box on a website.

01:44:21.900 That's the amount of research he did to announce a brand new program.

01:44:25.220 This guy might be mayor of our largest city in our financial center.

01:44:28.660 Not good.

01:44:29.460 Not only is he a socialist and, as we noted a couple of minutes ago, has shown support

01:44:34.660 for communism multiple times.

01:44:38.060 Yep.

01:44:38.500 That guy might be mayor of New York, and no one's even bothering to fact check the nonsensical

01:44:45.540 socialism he's proposing.

01:44:47.660 888-727-BECK.

01:44:49.040 More coming up in one minute.

01:44:50.920 So many people are living with pain every day, and they think they're just stuck with

01:44:53.940 it.

01:44:54.160 I mean, it just is what it is.

01:44:55.740 But it doesn't have to be.

01:44:56.800 I want to tell you a story about Jenny.

01:44:58.260 She lives in Texas.

01:44:59.500 And let me share her relief factor story.

01:45:01.420 She said she was out for a walk one day, and she was hit by a car, unfortunately.

01:45:05.680 Nothing she tried for her lower back pain worked.

01:45:08.380 Her husband heard about relief factor on the program.

01:45:10.600 Jenny said, okay, it's worth a shot.

01:45:12.340 Well, relief factor worked perfectly for her.

01:45:14.480 Her pain decreased, her range of motion increased, and to say that she's grateful, I am told,

01:45:19.240 is an understatement.

01:45:20.620 My pain started when I hit my 40s.

01:45:22.600 I tried everything, but nothing worked until I tried relief factor, and that broke the back

01:45:27.300 of my pain.

01:45:28.140 If you're living with aches and pains, see how relief factor, a daily drug-free supplement,

01:45:32.760 can help you feel and live better every day.

01:45:35.240 Give their three-week quick start a try.

01:45:36.660 It's $19.95.

01:45:38.000 In a few weeks, even a few days, you'll feel the difference that relief factor can make.

01:45:42.520 You don't have to be stuck living with pain.

01:46:03.260 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

01:46:05.820 Did you see that the actual Iranians have now admitted,

01:46:11.620 this comes from government spokesperson, Fatema Mahajarani.

01:46:18.960 He just admitted that after assessing the damage in Iran done after the bombing,

01:46:28.080 it was severe, is how he labeled it.

01:46:33.540 Severe damage was done to their nuclear sites.

01:46:36.360 Hmm.

01:46:37.860 So the leakers here in America are trying to do their very best to hijack the narrative 0.80

01:46:43.440 and hurt the president and the country and the message.

01:46:49.120 But this comes directly from Iran.

01:46:53.400 Amazing.

01:46:54.380 Amazing.

01:46:54.740 It was another acknowledgement that Fordow, Isfahan, and Etans, the key sites within the

01:47:02.660 nuclear program, had been seriously or severely damaged by the American strikes.

01:47:08.840 And that's from their state-run news agency.

01:47:11.860 And it's probably more reliable than some of the leaks we've been hearing lately.

01:47:19.280 You'd think so.

01:47:20.260 I think it would.

01:47:22.060 You know, what would motivate them to lie about that, for instance?

01:47:26.600 To say that the damage was more severe than it actually is.

01:47:32.900 I mean, I guess maybe...

01:47:34.360 Maybe to stop the bombings?

01:47:35.840 Yeah, you don't need to bomb anymore.

01:47:37.100 You really knocked us out.

01:47:38.440 I mean, it's possible.

01:47:39.500 That's not usually the way they handle these situations.

01:47:41.080 It's not likely, though, because, yeah, they like to...

01:47:43.860 Actually, they like to do the opposite with their people and try to... 1.00

01:47:47.000 I mean, it's like their Ayatollah crawled out from underneath a shelter and claimed victory. 0.95

01:47:56.660 Yeah.

01:47:57.020 I mean, Israel was about to be wiped off the map.

01:48:00.020 That's the only reason the Americans stopped bombing. 0.73

01:48:01.880 That's what they said.

01:48:02.520 They actually claimed that they destroyed one-third of Tel Aviv

01:48:06.240 and that millions were fleeing Israel.

01:48:09.340 Oh.

01:48:10.100 Hmm.

01:48:11.200 You're seeing different reports than we are, that's for sure.

01:48:14.960 See, I think we'd notice it.

01:48:16.800 But that is the way that they typically handle those things.

01:48:19.520 So that's a good sign for the efforts.

01:48:21.880 888-900...

01:48:23.480 727, actually.

01:48:25.220 B-E-C-K. 1.00

01:48:28.240 This is Glenn Beck.

01:48:30.880 You know me.

01:48:52.460 And they send it all back, along with digital copies you can stream, download, and share from the cloud.

01:48:57.080 Like so many people in the audience, Tanya and I have just become empty nesters.

01:49:01.460 And we spent last year preparing mentally.

01:49:03.480 We have spent countless hours rewinding memories of moments in our kids' lives

01:49:07.140 that have helped get them prepared to strike out on their own.

01:49:09.740 The memories are going to fade over time.

01:49:11.440 But we use Legacy Box to safeguard those wonderful moments that we captured on video and on film.

01:49:44.200 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

01:49:45.900 888-727-BECK.

01:49:48.520 So, Diddy was found not guilty of three of the five charges.

01:49:57.220 Including the most serious ones, yes.

01:49:59.320 Including the...

01:49:59.900 Sex trafficking, the racketeering situation.

01:50:02.340 The only thing he got convicted on was two charges of transporting prostitutes across...

01:50:08.420 This is so weird.

01:50:09.420 It's always that.

01:50:10.260 It's always the problem.

01:50:10.920 We seem to be totally fine with people having prostitutes in-state.

01:50:15.340 Like, as long as you're doing it in your local community, it's totally fine.

01:50:19.700 But if you bring those prostitutes from Florida into Georgia... 1.00

01:50:23.340 Outsourcing.

01:50:24.120 That's where the problem...

01:50:25.460 You gotta put our foot down now.

01:50:26.820 Well, I think it's even okay to travel to Georgia to hook up with Georgian prostitutes. 0.96

01:50:32.000 It's...

01:50:32.300 You just can't bring them from Florida to Georgia.

01:50:34.780 Okay.

01:50:35.080 That apparently is a big line in our society, which is odd.

01:50:39.380 It's a weird line.

01:50:40.420 Right?

01:50:40.860 Yeah, it is.

01:50:41.620 It seems to always be the thing that is the big issue.

01:50:44.580 Well, they transported them across state lines.

01:50:47.160 Yeah, but like, isn't the thing they were doing with them the problem?

01:50:50.560 Like, my problem with Diddy has been, I don't know, his tendency to be beating women up in hotels.

01:50:55.660 Like, that seems to be really bad to me.

01:50:57.860 Yeah.

01:50:58.580 Yeah, that was not good.

01:50:59.720 And like, prostitution, not a good thing. 0.91

01:51:02.320 Not a good practice, Pat.

01:51:03.680 Despite all the hullabaloo around it.

01:51:06.920 But my issue with it isn't typically the flight.

01:51:12.720 It's more of the prostitution and like the, even more importantly, forced prostitution for some of these people.

01:51:22.100 Wow, you're a stickler.

01:51:23.520 You're really a stickler.

01:51:25.240 It doesn't...

01:51:26.540 Like, it seems like there was a lot of prostitution going on with Diddy. 1.00

01:51:29.900 Mm-hmm.

01:51:31.580 But much of it, at least supported by a lot of text messages, was showing that it was agreed upon between the parties, at least for a large chunk of it.

01:51:41.120 But the issue that I think the main problem most people would have with it was when it went beyond the situation of agreement and, you know, fists were thrown to enforce it.

01:51:54.720 That kind of seems like the bigger issue.

01:51:56.800 And he wasn't even charged with that.

01:51:58.260 Yeah.

01:51:58.380 So, I don't understand our legal system sometimes.

01:52:02.420 No.

01:52:02.780 It's very bizarre.

01:52:04.380 Very bizarre.

01:52:05.760 But he could...

01:52:07.420 I guess he faces...

01:52:08.580 Is it 20 years?

01:52:10.480 Yeah.

01:52:10.820 Up to 20 years in prison.

01:52:12.220 Now, I don't think there's any indication that's going to be the penalty.

01:52:15.480 Yeah.

01:52:15.680 Like, his supporters are very happy with this outcome, it seems.

01:52:19.460 Like, they were celebrating outside the courtroom.

01:52:21.600 He was saying thank you to the jury afterward.

01:52:24.880 So, it does appear that they are happy with this outcome.

01:52:28.160 You would assume a first-time conviction for someone on prostitution charges is probably not 20 years, right?

01:52:35.120 Yeah.

01:52:35.140 It's a year or two, maybe.

01:52:36.040 Maybe probation.

01:52:37.320 Probation and a fine.

01:52:38.800 Yeah.

01:52:39.100 Some sort.

01:52:39.980 Usually.

01:52:40.960 Yeah.

01:52:41.140 You know, we have, again, like, we seem to sometimes give punishment away to, like, people who, like, molest children, and it's like, probation!

01:52:49.640 And, like, you know, someone speeds too much in a particular zone, and they go to, you know, they go to gulag for 40 years.

01:52:58.240 Like, I don't understand what's happening sometimes in our system.

01:53:00.720 But that...

01:53:01.720 Mm-hmm.

01:53:01.860 It does seem to be...

01:53:03.280 The punishments are strange to me.

01:53:05.420 Very.

01:53:06.080 Yeah.

01:53:06.460 Very.

01:53:07.040 Not a good guy.

01:53:08.200 I think we could say that.

01:53:09.000 Again, we have this on video where he's beating women up in hotels, and for some reason that was not the charge.

01:53:14.700 Into some weird things, but, you know, who am I?

01:53:18.240 You know, to decide what is weird and what isn't.

01:53:23.500 He was into some different things, though.

01:53:25.780 And, yeah.

01:53:26.920 And then there's the video of him actually beating his girlfriend in the hotel, which is really horrible.

01:53:34.000 Really horrific.

01:53:34.960 Mm-hmm.

01:53:35.720 All right.

01:53:36.340 We got this climate activist, former friend of Greta Thunberg, who now says that the climate change movement is a scam.

01:53:50.380 A decade ago, Lucy Biggers was like a lot of people in their 20s.

01:53:54.840 She believed that climate change posed an immediate and catastrophic risk to mankind, that we should rapidly eliminate fossil fuels to address the problem, that renewables are up to that task, and that our wealthy, privileged lives in the West are a mark of shame.

01:54:12.920 Her fans cheered her on.

01:54:17.340 She interviewed people like Greta, became friends with her.

01:54:20.560 Over time, though, she began to question her leftist ideals, and she started to see the climate movement as anti-human and ultimately harmful.

01:54:30.140 She now calls the climate movement a scam, and she's making videos on TikTok and elsewhere in hopes that young people will consider a more positive view of modern life, one they can hopefully be grateful for.

01:54:45.280 In turn, they can escape the anxiety, she says, the climate movement causes young people to feel.

01:54:51.900 Man, is that not so true?

01:54:54.140 People like, well, Greta Thunberg, who obviously believes the world is about to end. 0.60

01:55:00.240 She said years ago that we had, what, 12 years left before catastrophic extinction begins on this planet, and that's what's being told to these kids.

01:55:12.820 And so they grow up with this fear that the world's about to end.

01:55:16.380 So, yeah, there's a lot of anxiety in this movement.

01:55:18.800 I mean, it's legitimately a terror.

01:55:21.800 It terrorizes them, right?

01:55:24.040 Like, you think about a horror movie, right, that has some, you know, scary villain, some boogeyman that would scare a child.

01:55:31.140 And, like, their lives get changed.

01:55:32.980 Every time they want to go to bed, they're afraid there's a monster under their bed.

01:55:35.560 That is how a lot of kids actually are right now because of climate change, because of a 0.9 degree Celsius temperature rise over a century.

01:55:43.000 They're sitting here freaking out, thinking that they're not going to make it to their golden years because the world is going to end.

01:55:51.580 I mean, think of what a psychotic thing that is to do to a child.

01:55:55.780 You're ruining their lives.

01:55:57.620 It's despicable fear-mongering.

01:55:59.700 Yeah.

01:56:00.200 With no concern for what it does to kids.

01:56:02.340 No.

01:56:03.080 Michael Schellenberger wrote a great book about this.

01:56:05.500 And one of his main motivations was seeing his daughter's friends terrified by global warming, worried they were going to die.

01:56:17.900 Yeah.

01:56:18.300 Because he, too, was a believer.

01:56:20.340 He was a believer, but he was, I don't think he was ever that psychotic about it.

01:56:23.660 Like, you know, he would, he was like, you know, I remember, the first time I remember seeing him was he was in a documentary about nuclear power.

01:56:30.100 And he was talking about, I mean, that was one of the things that was featured.

01:56:32.480 He was an advocate, I think, for nuclear.

01:56:33.860 He was saying, hey, you know, nuclear power would be a great way.

01:56:35.720 We have really serious climate concerns.

01:56:37.600 This is a great way to address them.

01:56:39.020 And so he was always, you know, he was, he got all sorts of environmental awards from the left, but he was maybe a little bit more sensible than some of the crazy people, the Gretas of the world were.

01:56:50.520 But, I mean, think of what the population and the media in general did to this poor girl.

01:56:58.380 I mean, they completely used her to try to get their plans through.

01:57:05.120 They used the emotional, I mean, look, this is no secret.

01:57:10.300 When you're, one of the most, the greatest correlations with youth is stupidity.

01:57:15.620 Okay.

01:57:16.040 When you're young, you're kind of dumb.

01:57:18.140 You don't know, you start off, you don't even know the language.

01:57:20.900 Right.

01:57:21.500 You don't understand math.

01:57:23.440 You slowly grow out of your stupidity as you grow.

01:57:27.040 That doesn't mean you land in a place where you're smart, but you supposedly learn things as you go on through life.

01:57:32.400 And so when you're 11 years old and you're skipping school because you think the world is going to end from climate change, the appropriate response from adults is, honey, I understand you're concerned here.

01:57:44.040 Let me, we can go through some of the facts on that, but it's not appropriate to do what you're doing.

01:57:47.940 And there's no reason to panic like this.

01:57:50.400 Yeah, sure.

01:57:51.000 We have concerns in our world, but you don't, there's no reason to be like this.

01:57:54.540 Instead, it was, she's right.

01:57:56.820 She's the only one telling the truth.

01:57:58.500 She's so brave.

01:57:59.720 Look at all the wonderful things she's doing for the world.

01:58:02.980 Every piece of this idiocy was awarded and rewarded over and over and over again.

01:58:09.020 Yep.

01:58:09.280 And so she, understandably, I think, for a child, took that as everything I'm doing is great.

01:58:18.020 Everyone's approving of it.

01:58:19.280 I'm being lauded by the United Nations for what I'm doing.

01:58:25.560 And therefore, I should continue doing it.

01:58:27.820 Now, she's taken it to another place that is rewarded by the United Nations, hating Jews.

01:58:33.520 That's where she is now.

01:58:35.040 Amazing, yeah.

01:58:35.440 And again, now there's some people who are like, gosh, I don't know, maybe we shouldn't have just, I don't know, embraced her so hard.

01:58:42.840 Maybe we embraced her so hard we suffocated her and her brain turned off.

01:58:47.040 But I mean, she was, you know, again, like a child who's at some level, at least at one point, was a victim in this.

01:58:53.620 Now, she's an adult now.

01:58:55.200 So it's hard to feel that way.

01:58:55.980 She was actually headed at one point right for Gaza.

01:58:59.200 She was going to support Hamas at Gaza when the Israelis headed her off and said, yeah, you're not.

01:59:06.600 And kidnapped her, Pat.

01:59:08.140 They kidnapped her.

01:59:08.640 They kidnapped her.

01:59:09.620 They did.

01:59:10.080 It was frightening.

01:59:11.440 It was a weird kidnapping.

01:59:12.960 It was.

01:59:13.840 They kind of told her about it in advance.

01:59:15.720 Yeah.

01:59:16.200 And they didn't actually take her anywhere and keep her someplace.

01:59:19.080 No, they put her on a nice jet, fed her, put her on a nice jet and flew her back to her home. 0.51

01:59:24.360 Now, you know, someone pointed this out and it was a great observation, which was it was the first ever kidnapping where the only qualification to get out of the kidnapping was to leave.

01:59:35.440 The only request was, please get out of here.

01:59:38.020 That is a weird kidnapping.

01:59:39.880 Usually a kidnapping means you must stay.

01:59:42.180 Right.

01:59:42.600 Their kidnapping was you must go.

01:59:44.420 Oh, wow.

01:59:45.040 Which is odd.

01:59:46.480 Sort of defeats the purpose of the kidnap, doesn't it?

01:59:49.540 I mean, maybe the Israelis are just bad at it. 1.00

01:59:51.740 They don't, you know.

01:59:53.020 They're bad at that.

01:59:54.040 Yeah.

01:59:54.320 They're bad at genocide.

01:59:56.560 Yes.

01:59:56.960 Terrible at genocide.

01:59:57.660 They're really bad.

01:59:58.680 They keep feeding the people they're supposed to be killing.

02:00:01.080 Yeah.

02:00:01.400 Which is strange.

02:00:01.980 And warning them to leave places that they're about to bomb.

02:00:05.500 That's not a good way to commit genocide.

02:00:07.740 Yeah.

02:00:08.260 Yeah.

02:00:09.000 So they're really good at killing terrorists, but bad at genocide, bad at kidnapping.

02:00:15.360 Yeah.

02:00:15.700 They need to work on it.

02:00:16.300 They're going to have to work on it.

02:00:16.860 They're going to need to work.

02:00:17.920 Yeah.

02:00:19.900 But it is sort of like, I mean, first of all, it's good to see that some of the kids that

02:00:24.200 were in this movement at the time, friends with Greta, are coming out of it.

02:00:27.440 Yes.

02:00:27.880 It is good to see that.

02:00:28.780 That's good to see.

02:00:29.760 Again, you can look at climate change.

02:00:31.360 Some people do think there are issues with climate change.

02:00:34.340 However, when you look at it, this is something that we're very capable of handling.

02:00:42.140 Yeah.

02:00:42.700 Yeah.

02:00:43.260 The biggest problem with climate change right now is that there's more food, which, man,

02:00:52.340 I hate that because it's making us all fat.

02:00:55.140 That's the problem we're having on this planet right now.

02:00:57.940 Yep.

02:00:58.080 We're getting too fat because there's too much food to go around.

02:01:02.360 Abundance.

02:01:02.560 Yeah.

02:01:02.900 Yeah.

02:01:03.180 Gosh, that terrible abundance.

02:01:04.740 I just, I actually saw an honest article written a week or two ago, and they were talking about

02:01:10.460 the fact that the warmer temperatures are causing more food to grow.

02:01:17.820 Wow.

02:01:18.920 Good for you for at least acknowledging that aspect of it.

02:01:22.680 Now, if we get to the, what is it they're afraid of?

02:01:27.100 Fahrenheit, like five degrees Fahrenheit or four degrees Fahrenheit or whatever.

02:01:31.620 If we get to that point, yeah, that would be a real problem.

02:01:37.040 And then the food becomes burned up and we've got famine at that point.

02:01:44.140 But, I mean, that is, A, not happening right now.

02:01:49.200 And the forecast for the temperatures to end up where?

02:01:55.040 Are they trying to keep it under two degrees Celsius?

02:01:57.080 Is that the deal?

02:01:57.840 Yes, two or two point something degrees.

02:01:59.200 Yes.

02:01:59.480 I can't remember the exact number.

02:02:00.840 I mean, they change it all the time.

02:02:02.660 Also, you know, it's such a ridiculous standard.

02:02:06.960 Like, as if there's this switch that goes off at this particular.

02:02:10.560 As if we can control any of it anyway, which I, you know, I guess if you believe that every

02:02:18.500 bit of the increase is brought on by CO2 coming from mankind, I guess you'd think that

02:02:25.840 cutting back on the CO2 is going to fix the problem.

02:02:28.340 But you could remove every car on the planet and it still wouldn't, it wouldn't be enough

02:02:34.960 to get them where they want to be.

02:02:36.680 No, of course not.

02:02:37.780 You know, and of course, we've also had real improvements on this anyway.

02:02:41.740 Yeah.

02:02:42.300 I mean, just the switch from, you know, coal to natural gas has led to a real decline in

02:02:47.560 emissions.

02:02:47.980 We've declined ours quite a bit without all these massive climate initiatives that they

02:02:52.340 said they wanted.

02:02:53.300 Yeah.

02:02:53.440 And let's talk to China about the fact that they burn more coal than not just the United

02:02:58.820 States, but every country on earth combined.

02:03:03.540 So.

02:03:04.020 So.

02:03:04.520 Yeah.

02:03:04.900 And they are by far the number one emitters of carbon dioxide.

02:03:11.260 So it's a situation that is laughable and is obvious to anyone who's not a child.

02:03:18.760 Right.

02:03:19.300 Like if you're not a 15 year old skipping school, this is probably pretty obvious to you.

02:03:24.860 You, if you're embracing it, most likely you have another agenda.

02:03:29.380 Right.

02:03:29.860 At least, especially if you're in this world, right.

02:03:32.280 These politicians.

02:03:33.180 I mean, I think there's a lot of people who are just generally left leaning that are, you

02:03:36.320 know, I like the, you know, I like the planet, clean air, clean water.

02:03:40.860 Of course, everyone's for clean air, clean water.

02:03:42.680 Everybody likes the planet.

02:03:43.920 It's just a stupid catchphrase.

02:03:46.600 And I can understand a lot of those people just being fooled by this.

02:03:48.880 Right.

02:03:49.240 Yeah.

02:03:49.500 I mean, it's a scary thing that's out there somewhere.

02:03:52.180 This, this future that could collapse on you at any moment.

02:03:55.960 You can see how it works on some people, but like, you know, the people that are proposing

02:03:59.800 it, no.

02:04:01.560 888-727-BECK.

02:04:05.540 They want you silent, obedient, and blind.

02:04:09.880 Well, shoot.

02:04:10.780 Here we are with open eyes and a bit of rebellious nature.

02:04:15.480 Hold the line, my friends.

02:04:17.680 Glenn Beck will be back in a minute.

02:04:22.180 You know, those brutal summer nights, tossing, turning, flipping the pillow, trying to find

02:04:36.560 the cool spot.

02:04:37.760 I've been there.

02:04:38.760 It's exactly why I switched to cozy earth sheets.

02:04:40.880 They're made from viscose from bamboo, and they are designed to naturally wick away the

02:04:45.320 heat and the moisture, which helps your body stay several degrees cooler at night.

02:04:49.760 I didn't realize how much of a difference it would make until Tanya and I tried them.

02:04:53.740 Studies show that when your body sleeps cooler, it releases more melatonin.

02:04:57.800 So you fall asleep faster, you sleep deeper, and you wake up feeling actually rested.

02:05:02.400 Plus, cooler sleep can even help regulate your mood.

02:05:05.860 Cozy earth will completely transform your five to nine, the time that matters most.

02:05:10.640 And with our hundred night sleep trial, you've got nothing to lose.

02:05:14.060 Test them out during the hottest nights of the year.

02:05:16.060 And if you don't love them, send them back.

02:05:17.420 But I don't think you're going to want to, because they work.

02:05:20.160 Upgrade your summer.

02:05:33.240 Toronto.

02:05:34.300 There's another great city that starts with a T.

02:05:37.500 Tampa, Florida.

02:05:39.760 Fly to Tampa on Porter Airlines to see why it's so T-rific.

02:06:01.940 Uh, something we didn't get to today.

02:06:18.300 We'll have to get into this tomorrow, because the University of Pennsylvania

02:06:22.320 just agreed to take back the performances of Leah Thomas and his swimming records at the University of Pennsylvania.

02:06:34.200 Well, he didn't have swimming records.

02:06:36.000 He had female swimming records.

02:06:37.260 Female swimming, yes.

02:06:38.200 Right, right.

02:06:39.380 And medals and awards.

02:06:40.880 Because when she was a he, um, she was finishing, he was finishing last in the races against men.

02:06:47.980 Yeah, and then switched and started competing against women. 0.94

02:06:52.680 It went a little better for him.

02:06:53.940 Well, actually, Pat, there's no scientific evidence that men are better at sports than women.

02:06:58.180 No, none at all.

02:06:59.000 None at all.

02:06:59.680 Like, there's not an under-15-year-old boys team that just beat the women's national Swiss soccer team 7-1.

02:07:09.860 That's not science.

02:07:10.480 That's not science.

02:07:11.380 No, that's just circumstantial evidence.

02:07:13.520 Exactly.

02:07:13.900 All they are is just endless anecdotes.

02:07:17.200 Right.

02:07:17.320 That's all it is.

02:07:18.220 Over and over and over again.

02:07:20.620 Throughout all of human civilization.

02:07:23.780 But other than that.

02:07:24.400 But no proof.

02:07:25.340 No proof.

02:07:28.000 This is Glenn Beck.
