What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:00:36.460
The President of the United States, Joe Robinette Biden, was on fire.
00:00:54.960
And he got to swear them in with such an inspiring speech.
00:01:02.100
We'll share some of that with you coming up in 60 seconds.
00:01:14.200
Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:19.080
President Biden is just absolutely beloved on virtually every single agenda item that he has.
00:01:31.180
But especially his border policies are approved by a full 33% of the American people.
00:01:39.080
He had to get probably almost half of Democrats on that.
00:01:48.640
It's a, let's see, 51% of adults are not happy.
00:02:04.400
Uh, the survey has a margin of error, three and a half percentage points, but, um, he is
00:02:11.240
not doing well with the immigration policy that he has.
00:02:18.520
Maybe it's the fact that, uh, border crossings are up like a billion percent.
00:02:29.780
However, over the weekend, because this is traditional, um, on the Independence Day weekend,
00:02:34.540
for the president to swear in some, some new immigrants, uh, and he took the chance to
00:02:40.120
do that and gave them a little welcoming speech, which was so inspiring.
00:02:46.820
Look, today, uh, um, today's special guest to all of you, it's my honor to congratulate
00:02:54.680
the 21 of you who have earned the title of, that our democracy in every, is equal to being
00:03:10.820
He's, he's, he's reading it and he still can't get it.
00:03:17.580
And it is the case that, uh, that looking into, look, here's the, what I'm trying, we,
00:03:31.100
It's just incomprehensible what he's trying to say there.
00:03:33.260
He almost, he acts as if he's reading a speech in a perfectly dark room where there's like
00:03:41.780
a strobe light on so he can only like get every other word or other word.
00:03:46.820
And he doesn't, sometimes he goes up to the, a line above where he's supposed to be.
00:03:50.480
Sometimes he does two or three words from three lines down.
00:03:59.980
It just shows how incapable he is of doing this job.
00:04:02.820
If you can't even so much as swear in some citizens who were there on the 4th of July
00:04:08.320
trying to become citizens and you've got the copy right in front of you on how to do it
00:04:16.840
Uh, and it's fascinating to me that nobody cares.
00:04:21.480
The CNNs and MSNBCs, CBS, NBC, ABC, they don't care.
00:04:34.000
How dare you say that his cognitive abilities are less than maybe where they should be?
00:04:45.400
And that's how we're treated when we take note of it.
00:04:47.640
There was a transition in the media over the past five years from, I think, a group of people
00:04:56.080
who were blatantly left-leaning, liberal, leftist at times, but tried to hold up the generalized
00:05:06.180
concepts of journalism where they would act as if there was like this like, you know, sheen
00:05:14.940
of credibility that they would hold everything together with.
00:05:19.240
They would say, okay, look, you know, we just, we think the facts are this way.
00:05:23.780
We're just giving you the facts and then, you know, sure.
00:05:27.100
A lot of times when you listen to the facts, they happen to align with the Democratic Party.
00:05:36.900
Maybe even a clearer example is the Hunter Biden situation where like every story they've told
00:05:43.900
us about over the past five years, whenever someone gets caught saying something bad in
00:05:50.800
Whenever someone is caught in international corruption, it's a major story.
00:05:55.700
Whenever people are misusing their power for business gains, it's a major story.
00:05:59.360
Whenever they're sexual escapades and whenever you would maybe take advantage of a woman and
00:06:09.580
then when they are having your baby, you kind of ignore them and don't pay for it.
00:06:14.620
All of these things would be major stories with anyone else.
00:06:18.420
Yet this person does all these things and then comes on for softball interviews about
00:06:23.360
his new book and they don't say anything about any of those.
00:06:27.100
And it's like, we're just supposed to sit here and be like, oh, OK, well, that's totally
00:06:30.680
normal because they no longer are trying to hide that they, you know, they're not trying
00:06:36.460
to tell you even anymore that they're doing journalism.
00:06:42.320
I think they believe they've come so far that it just doesn't matter anymore.
00:06:46.360
I think that they see Trump and everything since Trump as so uniquely threatening to the
00:07:02.540
It was, you know, Pat, during the Trump era, there was that big conversation about whether
00:07:18.980
The president, who is a liar, was speaking in Georgia this weekend.
00:07:23.240
Like, they need to just come out and say it every time.
00:07:25.560
And it's like, well, you know, they made this out to be some brave act where they took this
00:07:32.100
They normally would be held back by the rules and traditions of journalism.
00:08:00.400
Come out and advocate for one side of the aisle because that side of the aisle is better.
00:08:09.560
And I, you know, I'm amazed by the fact that they don't even show it and then try to spin
00:08:16.940
Anytime that he looks like an absolute buffoon or he looks completely lost or he can't get
00:08:25.660
his mind engaged in what he's supposed to be talking about, it's just ignored by them.
00:08:43.540
Every time I see him now, I need ice cream and pudding.
00:08:55.060
So here he is buying ice cream again, and he's asked about Russian hacking.
00:09:01.920
Mr. President, let me know if I can ask you a question.
00:09:09.400
With the most recent hack by the Russians, would you say that this means that...
00:09:36.400
I'll be in better shape to talk to you about it.
00:09:57.820
First of all, we're not sure who it is, for certain.
00:10:02.060
And what I did, I directed the full resources of the government to assist in a response if
00:10:12.360
And the fact is that I directed the intelligence community to give me a deep dive on what's
00:10:21.200
happened, and I'll know better tomorrow, and if it is, either with the knowledge of and
00:10:28.880
or a consequence of Russia, then I told Putin we will respond.
00:10:41.620
The initial thinking was it was not the Russian government, but we're not sure yet.
00:10:54.940
He's desperately searching for words or where he is or if he has his pants on.
00:11:08.780
And then he takes out his notes, and that still doesn't help him much.
00:11:14.340
I mean, it is so clear there's a serious problem here.
00:11:24.060
I feel bad even talking about it, but it's like he can't answer this very basic question.
00:11:35.560
He can't do it with notes while trying to complete an ice cream transaction.
00:11:42.840
Like, that is like it's thrown the operating system off.
00:11:47.360
You can't have the calculator running and your email.
00:11:57.840
Well, and I'm sure before he entered that restaurant, that little ice cream shop, they told him, Mr. President, we have planted someone who's going to ask you a question about Russian hacking.
00:12:10.960
The notes are in your suit coat, and they're right inside your suit coat on both sides.
00:12:19.140
When they ask you the question, get your notes out and read what we've written for you.
00:12:23.700
And again, his notes seem to indicate they just didn't know it was Russia.
00:12:31.560
Unless there's, you know, five or six other words that he just can't read.
00:12:37.120
According to his answer, the notes just said, we don't know yet.
00:12:41.260
So the answer is, look, we don't know where it is yet.
00:12:56.460
And somebody came around with him and put a mic in front of both of them.
00:13:00.980
And so, like, you know, look, the President of the United States has a wide berth in these
00:13:06.520
situations to be able to answer with a delicate nature, right?
00:13:13.060
It's an international incident we're talking about.
00:13:15.380
He doesn't need to give an answer to every cashier who asks them a question about it.
00:13:18.940
All he has to do is say, look, we don't know yet.
00:13:20.840
But clearly, they've planted the question because they've got the microphone ready.
00:13:26.260
And he has his notes on both sides of his suit coat.
00:13:35.000
Why is the cashier asking about the Russian hacking?
00:13:43.040
The handling of Biden is almost as bad as the presidency of Biden.
00:13:50.980
Get someone else to get the ice cream so he doesn't have to constantly embarrass himself.
00:14:05.940
And he still believes he's that Joe Biden who is charming and folksy.
00:14:20.040
And when he's shown that he can't, he never pays a price for it.
00:14:32.720
It's not embarrassing him on the networks he's watching.
00:14:37.960
You know, there's no way to tell Joe this has got to stop.
00:14:44.280
If you're in one of his aides, you're sitting here going, like, how do we convince him to stop doing this?
00:14:49.980
I mean, they're doing teleprompters in kindergartens.
00:14:53.200
They're giving him notes in both sides of his suit coat in case he goes for the wrong side.
00:15:09.720
Well, if you're worried about Russian hacking, which you should be, by the way,
00:15:14.600
they almost definitely were responsible for this more recent incident, which is a big deal over the weekend.
00:15:20.840
This keeps happening over and over and over again.
00:15:25.920
It's not just major national actors and criminal gangs like we're talking about Russia.
00:15:30.100
There's lots of individuals who are doing these things as well, trying to steal your identity.
00:15:39.660
Thousands of people in this audience listening to this show right now have been victim of identity theft.
00:15:44.240
It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
00:15:48.000
Every day, we put our information at risk on the internet.
00:15:50.860
And in an instant, a cybercriminal can steal what's yours, sometimes even harm your finances and your credit.
00:15:56.480
That's why it's such a good thing that there's LifeLock.
00:15:58.460
LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity threats, and they will send you an alert.
00:16:02.780
Plus, you have access to a dedicated restoration specialist if you become a victim.
00:16:07.220
No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,
00:16:10.800
but you can keep what's yours with LifeLock by Norton.

It's just notes in my pocket from some advisor that can tell me when someone asks me a difficult
00:17:09.080
question, I should just basically say, I don't know.
00:17:15.980
At this time, we don't know how I feel, but we may have more information on how I feel
00:17:24.760
I want someone to be telling me things like that, because you get...
00:17:27.740
You know, there's times where you get an uncomfortable question, you know?
00:17:34.160
Maybe you were hanging out in the Taco Bell parking lot, multiple trips around the drive-thru,
00:17:40.540
You come back home to a dinner that's been cooked, and you think to yourself, I don't
00:17:44.960
know if I'm going to be able to eat all that, because I just ate at Taco Bell four straight
00:17:53.740
We may have more information about that coming soon.
00:17:56.620
I mean, of course, you should obviously be silent for about 10 seconds in the middle
00:18:00.460
I didn't want to replicate that part of it, because all of our stations would go off the
00:18:05.460
But just a good 10-second silence mixed in with some version.
00:18:09.820
of I don't know, some stuttering, and changing back and forth between conversations.
00:18:26.240
He keeps talking about the conductor that comes up to him and grabs him by the arm and
00:18:30.700
says, Joey, you know how many miles you traveled on Amtrak?
00:18:41.800
He's told it three or four times over the last couple of years.
00:18:46.840
Because he thinks it makes America believe he's just like them.
00:18:55.500
I mean, Amtrak is like the upscale way to travel on a train.
00:18:58.740
Like, when we were doing national radio shows and national TV shows, I took New Jersey
00:19:04.180
Transit in because it costs like one-tenth of the cost.
00:19:11.960
So, anyway, this guy, Angelo Negri, who he and Biden supposedly became friends and came
00:19:20.560
up to him and told him he's traveled over a million and a half miles on Amtrak over the
00:19:26.120
Well, Fox and the Daily Mail and even CNN eventually looked into this.
00:19:33.120
And there's just a little problem with the story of Angelo Negri coming up to him and
00:19:38.200
telling him about the one and a half million mile milestone.
00:19:43.400
No, it's just that Angelo had retired decades earlier.
00:19:48.960
And, in fact, when he hit the milestone of one and a half million miles on Amtrak, Angelo
00:19:57.320
So, he would have had a hard time coming up and telling him about it.
00:20:12.340
Worst part about the Angelo story, too, is that he was killed by an Amtrak train.
00:20:19.380
He was standing out in the middle of an airson action.
00:20:44.960
Target and Walgreens making some drastic changes.
00:20:48.960
Due to an increase in theft in San Francisco, according to the California Retailers Association,
00:20:55.700
three cities in California are among the top ten in the country when it comes to organized retail crime.
00:21:05.280
Already they've been seeing the negative impact it's having in San Francisco with stores permanently shutting down or closing early because of theft at their stores.
00:21:16.700
Target has now acknowledged San Francisco is the only city in America where they've decided to close some stores early because of escalating retail crime.
00:21:30.040
It's not like they're breaking in in the middle of the night.
00:21:32.760
They're doing this during store hours, often in broad daylight.
00:21:36.820
If anyone, any company knows this, I don't know how Target couldn't be the one because they were the one that was told when their buildings were burning to the ground.
00:21:46.420
They're being completely cleaned out in city after city after city.
00:21:57.500
I mean, as any small business owner will tell you, that doesn't work out that way.
00:22:06.240
Did you have your roof replaced recently after the hail?
00:22:13.300
Insurance comes in and says, yeah, I'll give you about half of what that's worth.
00:22:18.240
They don't say it's half, but it is about half of what it will actually cost.
00:22:28.920
So when you're telling these companies, yeah, just use your insurance.
00:22:33.880
First of all, you shouldn't be stealing stuff from them.
00:22:36.140
But we've gotten to the place where apparently that's okay for certain people to steal things from a store.
00:22:44.020
And I think it's an organized thing at this point.
00:22:46.040
I'd love to hear if there's any small business owners who have gone through this at their-
00:22:51.780
I know someone who was in a store and watched this happen.
00:23:00.660
Where a group of four people came in to a store.
00:23:08.440
Garbage bags and walked up to the counter where all the displays were and took their arms and cupped, you know, 50 to 60, like, lip glosses and just shoveled them into the garbage bag and did it about 10 times each and then walked out of the store.
00:23:29.440
It goes to about two-thirds of my salary goes to it.
00:23:31.740
So were these people who are the greatest danger we face in America white supremacists?
00:23:39.660
If they were white supremacists, they were really bad at it.
00:23:57.120
Now, it's interesting because you have to look at the incentives of such a situation.
00:24:03.440
By the way, 888-727-BEC, if you happen to be a small business owner and have seen this happen,
00:24:07.720
or how- because I would love to hear how you're dealing with it.
00:24:10.260
But, you know, the incentive of the situation is the employees of a corporate retail establishment
00:24:20.480
They're trained to not get into an altercation.
00:24:24.040
They're trained to know, well, don't say, don't try to stop X, Y, and Z type of person because
00:24:30.980
that's not, you know, there's guaranteed signs all over the store saying how much black lives
00:24:38.260
matter and how much, you know, every dumb left-wing slogan is pasted all over every one
00:24:47.280
And as we've seen, even with, like, Starbucks, Starbucks, what was the controversy?
00:24:51.540
They didn't allow someone to go to the bathroom, and it became a national story.
00:24:55.140
So, if you try to stop someone, you tackle a woman with a garbage bag of makeup making
00:25:07.320
You're on the news as the terrible person who didn't let this individual who-
00:25:13.900
Abscone with thousands of dollars worth of your material, your product.
00:25:18.780
You're going to step back and you're just going to let it happen.
00:25:22.460
And if they do get caught, which they probably won't, probably the charges will be dropped.
00:25:30.240
And we've seen Antifa, they burn down cities, and we have the vice president of the United
00:25:38.980
So, why would you possibly believe you're going to get in trouble over something like
00:25:45.820
A fine that is, what, one-tenth of one haul from one of these stores?
00:25:51.200
There was a video that went viral last week or the week before.
00:25:53.580
And a guy just walks in, fills his garbage bag with all sorts of stuff on his bike, and just
00:25:58.260
rides his bike out the front door of the store.
00:26:00.840
There's no longer, you don't need to be Ocean's Eleven anymore.
00:26:04.680
There's no, you don't need to have this incredibly intricate operation.
00:26:08.800
You walk in the front door, like every other customer, with a garbage bag on display.
00:26:15.780
You walk out the front door the same way you came in.
00:26:23.100
Oftentimes, people don't even tell you to stop.
00:26:25.600
They just, they just watch you go out the door.
00:26:28.340
Look, if you're an employee, you're making, you know, 13 bucks an hour, and you're thinking
00:26:34.840
to myself, I'm not going to get, I'm not going to become an international story because I stopped
00:26:40.340
a BIPOC individual from stealing something, or a Hispanic individual, or a white individual.
00:26:47.980
I'm sure this is happening with all sorts of colors.
00:26:49.880
I mean, it's just this particular story happened to be that, and I would think it's a lot harder
00:26:55.900
to justify to corporate that you did something in this situation the further down the oppression
00:27:04.380
We're seeing this in story after story after story.
00:27:06.700
Now, the oppressed, the formerly oppressed women, the formerly oppressed gays, the formerly
00:27:13.760
oppressed, if you're not, you know, 12 different intersectionality groups at the same time, you
00:27:32.300
As indicated by the thing last week at the Wii Spa in Los Angeles, where the trans woman
00:27:40.440
goes into the bathroom and shows her wiener to little girls.
00:27:47.680
And I will say, just the fact that you just said those two words next to each other.
00:28:10.420
What's not funny is how you're identifying them as little girls without asking them what
00:28:16.320
So, one person, one person goes to the counter and complains about that to the spa employees,
00:28:29.020
Because how dare you say she can't show her wiener to people in the bathroom?
00:28:38.320
And so, she's the bad guy, and everybody defends the person showing their genitalia in the
00:28:48.460
It's like, okay, we don't care about defending or protecting little girls anymore, or women,
00:28:55.360
In fact, if you ask about it or say anything about it, you're a hate monger.
00:29:03.880
Over the weekend, a few people show up to protest that going on.
00:29:14.140
And Antifa shows up and starts beating these people.
00:29:19.140
One of them got slashed with a knife in the arm.
00:29:24.800
This guy, this Asian guy, just standing there, and a woman runs up and kicks him where he
00:29:31.000
lives, and he responds by hitting her in the head with a water bottle.
00:29:35.960
He's the one who gets arrested, and he's the one everybody's yelling and screaming about.
00:29:41.520
Because you've got these Antifa people that they're the aggressors, and then if anybody
00:29:46.020
is aggressive back towards them, whoa, no, no, now they're the bad person.
00:29:57.140
It's amazing to see our society react to this stuff.
00:30:00.320
Like, you know, Target and Walgreens are making decisions they believe are good for their bottom
00:30:06.860
And what they're doing is, we'd rather be closed.
00:30:15.460
Now, the original meaning of 7-Eleven was seven days a week open, 11 hours a day.
00:30:28.080
I thought it was 11 hours a day, which isn't all that impressive, frankly.
00:30:34.320
But there was, you know, and now it's obviously, but everywhere, it's a 24-hour business.
00:30:38.940
And they're closing, or at least closing, not allowing people inside because the theft
00:30:44.520
I mean, Target and Walgreens just closing their stores, closing them, because they see it
00:30:54.700
The shoplifting is so bad, they can't make money because of it.
00:30:59.600
It might as well just close that outlet, which they did.
00:31:01.760
And normally what your answer is, I mean, look, there are some levels where maybe you
00:31:09.660
But it's becoming more common because you really, the other way of handling this is
00:31:16.160
But the security people aren't allowed to do anything.
00:31:19.700
This security guard says, his name is Kevin Greathouse, and he said that they're told
00:31:25.800
not to physically engage with those who shoplift.
00:31:30.440
Obviously, they don't want ourselves or anybody else to get injured while we're out here attempting
00:31:35.480
to make these apprehensions and leave it to law enforcement.
00:31:38.620
Carries with him a handgun, a taser, and pepper spray, but he's never used them.
00:31:42.440
On the other hand, he says people shoplifting have at times threatened him with a knife.
00:31:47.100
And he said, I don't have any intention of getting stabbed for $60 worth of stuff.
00:31:52.980
So you can hire security guards, but if you're going to tell them not to engage with anybody
00:32:00.740
There's a video, another video that went viral this weekend of a guy in New York in a place
00:32:07.880
a place we certainly walked by a million times when we lived in New York in one of these
00:32:14.960
And usually on the side, there might be a homeless person sitting down.
00:32:20.940
He's, he's mopping, he's mopping the floor and he's got his bucket there.
00:32:25.580
He turns around, he's mopping the floor and you see it all happen.
00:32:28.780
As soon as he turns his back, he's mopping the floor.
00:32:31.080
The homeless guy gets up, walks over, turns around, sits down on the bucket and starts
00:32:43.000
And it's like, what the, you know, swears quite a bit and goes up to the guy and goes, get
00:32:48.760
The guy is offended that he's tried to stop him in the middle of going to the bathroom
00:32:54.200
in his cleaning bucket and takes his mop and starts hitting him with a mop.
00:33:01.680
Now, there's tons of people all walking around there.
00:33:03.740
This is in the middle of a high traffic area and he's, he just goes, he pushes right through
00:33:11.460
it and gets, goes right back down, sits on the bucket and goes for it in front of everybody.
00:33:18.380
And I mean, this is the state of our cities right now.
00:33:27.400
You know, there's no Republicans run in any of these cities basically at this point.
00:33:33.780
And this is what has happened over and over and over again.
00:33:36.700
These cities are just turning into, they're disintegrating.
00:33:49.420
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, the Glenn Beck Program.
00:33:59.740
Did you, did you, I hope you didn't do a backyard barbecue, Stu, but well, not with anybody who's
00:34:06.720
not in your household and even the people who were in your household need to be in separate
00:34:15.560
I also, I also required everyone who came over to get all of the available vaccines,
00:34:25.960
And so we injected everyone in various body parts.
00:34:29.820
Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson.
00:34:38.860
We want to get that coursing through some veins as well.
00:34:47.120
It feels like that many vaccines might be very damaging.
00:34:55.860
But, you know, look, I notice around here, at least,
00:35:08.160
There was a big 4th of July celebration in my suburb.
00:35:20.660
as well as multiple outdoor gatherings for 4th of July.
00:35:29.140
And really, they were enjoying getting back to this sort of stuff.
00:35:31.860
But, you know, I would say, you know, maybe the mall, it was 5% to 10% masked in that range.
00:35:45.440
And, you know, like, we all understand that I think Texas is about 50% vaccinated.
00:35:51.060
So, like, all the stores just say, like, come on in.
00:35:55.420
We all know half the people are just doing it anyway.
00:36:04.540
You know, when people have the choice to get the vaccine, the pandemic is over.
00:36:08.420
If they don't want to get it, then they don't want to get it.
00:36:10.860
Like, the problem with the pandemic is you are at that point where there's nothing you can do.
00:36:20.360
But then you just take the consequences of those actions.
00:36:31.200
It is Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.
00:36:35.400
We were just talking at the 4-Minute Buzz about how virtually every Republican in the state is running for governor of Texas right now.
00:36:48.400
He is being primaried like nobody's ever been primaried.
00:36:51.940
I'll get into that a little bit and much more coming up in 60 seconds.
00:36:59.780
If you happen to be the type of person who is looking to move right now, you better be careful because this is a crazy housing market.
00:37:10.220
I mean, it's one I don't think I've ever seen one like this.
00:37:13.120
People are looking to spend their money on homes and prices are going through the roof, especially if you happen to be in a state like Texas.
00:37:21.960
All the people trying to escape California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, and coming to Texas, Florida, and other sites that were maybe down south, maybe a little bit more open.
00:37:35.480
That's been happening over the past six months or so.
00:37:38.060
And it's really just increased as the economy has sort of warmed up coming out of the pandemic winter.
00:37:43.920
So you have a situation where if you're selling a home, this could be the biggest haul you'll ever make, right?
00:37:50.560
I mean, this could be the biggest financial transaction you ever have in your entire life.
00:37:54.980
You better make sure you get the most for your money.
00:37:57.480
Secondarily, if you're going to buy a house right now, you better be careful to not overreach and go for something that maybe costs more than you can afford.
00:38:07.420
Maybe you're overpaying because you get caught up in the hype of a market.
00:38:10.440
You better have a real estate agent on your side of either side of that transaction to make sure that you're doing the right thing.
00:38:16.680
You can find that person at realestateagentsitrust.com, a company that Glenn started several years ago.
00:38:21.780
To find the best real estate agents around the country, you can do it no matter where you are in America.
00:38:40.440
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.
00:38:48.680
There's a new poll out that shows Governor Abbott with a 39-38% lead over Matthew McConaughey.
00:38:57.080
Now, nobody even knows what Matthew McConaughey's policies are.
00:39:08.700
Which is probably what he'd run as because, you know, if you're anything but a left-wing kook Democrat, you can't declare that if you're in Hollywood, right?
00:39:21.080
But 39-38, whereas McConaughey months ago was way ahead of Abbott in a head-to-head competition, at least according to the polls.
00:39:30.920
Now, there's another Republican who's probably not well-known outside of Dallas, and that's Don Huff-Heinz.
00:39:59.920
Yeah, Alan West, who, former congressman, obviously, been very active in conservative politics for a long time.
00:40:06.960
He was the chair of the Texas Republican Party.
00:40:13.740
But he's very well-known and well-respected, I think, in the conservative community.
00:40:18.600
And I think he's actually in a poll that they just conducted a little bit ahead of Governor Abbott.
00:40:26.240
He's a threat, for sure, I would think, to Abbott.
00:40:28.340
You know, of course, our own Chad Prather here from Blaze TV is running as well.
00:40:34.600
And it's interesting because Abbott is not like...
00:40:38.220
Greg Abbott is a guy who, if you're not from Texas,
00:40:41.500
you might not have a huge impression of Abbott.
00:40:47.540
When I talk to people outside of Texas, what I hear typically is,
00:40:52.560
oh, I wish we had a governor like yours who didn't lock down the whole time
00:40:56.480
and has lifted all these mandates and all that.
00:41:00.080
It's the exact opposite of what I hear from people in Texas
00:41:02.260
who are just angry at him for ever having the mandates.
00:41:07.560
I was talking to Andrew Wilkow, also from Blaze TV, our friend from up...
00:41:14.180
Now, his impression of how good of a job Greg Abbott is doing is quite different
00:41:23.540
He's like, they wouldn't let us out of our house for 14 months.
00:41:27.140
So, we would love to have anyone who would allow that.
00:41:35.860
Basically, it was March 15th or 16th was the day that Trump did the 15 days
00:41:45.540
And that led to, of course, another month of slowing the spread.
00:41:51.740
So, it turned into the end of April, where basically, nationally,
00:41:59.140
On May 1st, I went out to a restaurant down the street from this facility.
00:42:07.940
I don't even know if they hit 25% capacity at the restaurant I was at,
00:42:18.780
I got at a restaurant in Texas much later, Pat.
00:42:24.200
As a COVID-19 survivor, you bring up a very sore subject there.
00:42:39.380
But, again, it was my choice to go out and shovel food down my gullet
00:42:45.960
And having COVID-19 for you was a lot like not having COVID-19, right?
00:42:59.740
We did have some fun family times, but, you know,
00:43:05.900
But still, you know, you get through those times.
00:43:08.460
My point, though, with Abbott, though, is that it was...
00:43:10.500
As compared to the nation, he was definitely on the leaning freedom side
00:43:15.960
However, for Texas, you know, nothing but, you know,
00:43:25.320
And some people just got unreasonably pissed at him.
00:43:38.440
Look, I work at The Blaze, which a bunch of people who are very conservative
00:43:43.960
So I did hear maybe more than the average Texan did.
00:43:46.440
I mean, if you look at it, it's like they just did a poll on Greg Abbott's
00:43:52.180
He has a 77% approval rating among Republicans.
00:44:00.220
It's amazing that he has this many challengers when you have a 77% approval rating.
00:44:04.620
Though, he's got some challengers and some real ones.
00:44:11.380
Chad Prather's really popular, particularly in Texas.
00:44:25.200
In the poll I just saw, Prather was actually ahead 42% to 35% over Allen West.
00:44:33.260
And then I think Abbott, was it 30 or somewhere in there?
00:44:39.220
He was actually in the lead as far as Republicans are concerned.
00:44:43.980
I don't know what's going to happen, but I think these things are...
00:44:46.540
We're in the middle of a cycle, to take it out of Texas here for a second.
00:44:50.280
We're in the middle of a cycle where there's a...
00:44:53.260
There's going to be a cycle here of retribution, essentially, for what happened in the pandemic.
00:45:01.800
I think we're seeing that on the streets right now.
00:45:07.040
In political parties where if you didn't do what your base thinks is the right thing, you're going to be targeted and punished and...
00:45:16.600
Uh, and taken during these primaries and people are going to try to exploit it.
00:45:22.880
You know, it was like when we had a series of this, you know, after 2016, there were obviously
00:45:28.220
the Republican Party was sort of split on people who really liked Trump and people who didn't
00:45:32.460
And the people who spoke out against Trump had a lot of primary challenges from people
00:45:41.200
Uh, you know, we're seeing that now happen with anyone who voted for like the impeachment,
00:45:46.220
Or, you know, people who spoke out like, uh, you know, obviously the most obvious one is
00:46:00.860
And I think the same thing is going to happen with COVID.
00:46:05.580
Some Republicans did not go as far on the freedom scale as many Southern states did.
00:46:12.200
And it's also the reason why you're seeing people circle around Ron DeSantis as a guy
00:46:17.220
who people like because they liked what he did during that period.
00:46:24.340
What do you do in a really difficult situation?
00:46:31.460
And many of these, even Republican governors, are finding out like, oh, gosh, maybe I should
00:46:40.960
People would try to take that as like, well, if you're on the side of quote-unquote freedom,
00:46:47.540
When you're on the side of freedom, you're letting people make their own decisions.
00:46:53.120
And that also includes like how you're affecting others.
00:46:57.520
I mean, a pandemic is not just an isolated act.
00:47:02.980
But people have the right to be able to take the risks that they feel are necessary.
00:47:11.820
And also take the responsibilities of actions that might not be, might not be so, so thoughtful.
00:47:20.600
I mean, there's definitely more of those people too.
00:47:22.520
So, I think this is going to be one of those dividing lines that lasts for a very long time.
00:47:28.660
And we're going to have no choice but to deal with it, especially when it comes to financial matters.
00:47:38.620
And when I say spent money, what I mean is they printed it.
00:47:42.160
You know, it's like to say that they were spending money that existed before 2020 is sort of a false way of looking at it.
00:47:49.780
I mean, we've just done everything that we were terrified of as conservatives all at once within an 18-month period.
00:47:57.380
And we've still got three, four, five, six trillion dollars to go here.
00:48:03.020
They're doubling and tripling and quadrupling down on this stuff.
00:48:06.200
And you just have to believe there is a point that...
00:48:30.200
And nobody even bats an eye at a billion dollars or $10 billion or $50 billion anymore.
00:48:43.100
You don't even think, oh, my gosh, we're going to spend $50 billion on that?
00:48:46.980
They don't care because it doesn't even have an impact until you get to trillions now.
00:48:52.320
We've become so used to hearing the billion-dollar figure.
00:48:57.140
It used to be millions and hundreds of millions.
00:49:01.060
Now you're not even fazed unless you hear that we're going to spend a trillion dollars.
00:49:10.260
And this is not, it wasn't that long ago that the word trillion was poison to even Democrats.
00:49:18.240
If you remember going through the post-2008 recovery period, Barack Obama gets elected.
00:49:27.940
He wants to spend $787 billion on, I think that was the recovery one, the stimulus, right?
00:49:37.540
They worked very hard to manipulate the numbers to keep it under $1 trillion.
00:49:43.560
Now, of course, it wasn't actually in the $900 billions, but that's how they presented it.
00:49:49.740
But they thought if it hit a trillion, the American people will revolt against it.
00:49:54.940
Now, the American people still sort of revolted against it, at least back then.
00:50:03.380
And as we said, as soon as this becomes something that is yours, something you are owed, it will never go away.
00:50:10.420
And that's where we are with Obamacare now, obviously.
00:50:12.920
But at that time, they didn't think it was going to pass.
00:50:16.240
Remember, they had 60 votes and they were doing this.
00:50:21.420
And they were saying, we can't get it over a trillion dollars.
00:50:24.320
And now we're at the point where we're like, well, if we have 50 votes, we can pass a $5 trillion bill, right?
00:50:31.260
And in the American people, yeah, of course you can.
00:50:37.140
And to help you, we'll take Republican responsibility for another trillion in infrastructure just to make your job a little easier.
00:50:45.460
Just to make so you can get that extra trillion.
00:51:00.400
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:51:12.500
Did you see that Queen, the greatest hits of Queen, were number one on iTunes over the weekend?
00:51:21.280
An album that is 40 years old this year was number one over the weekend.
00:51:28.740
And number two was Joni Mitchell and her blue album from 1971, I think, which was 50 years old this year.
00:51:45.120
I think they probably re-digitized it and spruced it up and then re-released.
00:51:54.240
Can you imagine when we were kids, like in 1981, you think of an album that was 40 years old.
00:52:14.120
Like, they do this all the time with the September 11th thing.
00:52:17.280
Now, September 11th is a moment in my life that I remember vividly.
00:52:21.080
I remember being on the phone with Glenn Beck when the second plane hit the tower.
00:52:26.840
And, like, that's a vivid moment in my life, in my career.
00:52:37.660
Yeah, this September 11th, we'll be commemorating the 20th anniversary.
00:52:55.780
But, I mean, like, that's, like, the first thing I can ever remember was probably five years old.
00:53:02.280
That's the same distance from now to September 11th.
00:53:10.360
You start playing this game, you start getting a 40-year game.
00:53:18.260
You know, it's interesting, though, how Queen has held up.
00:53:21.600
I think that the real musicians and the real musical bands kind of tend to hold up over the years.
00:53:33.580
And so that when kids are subjected to the music, they're like, yeah, that's pretty good.
00:53:43.860
And the guitarist can actually play the guitar.
00:53:52.760
Should the people who are singing the songs actually play the instruments, too?
00:54:02.680
The guy who developed the mRNA treatment, his name is Robert Malone.
00:54:13.540
Yeah, he did three days in a row on this show, right?
00:54:15.800
He basically became the co-host of the program for multiple days.
00:54:25.020
If you want to go back and listen to the archives, it's available on the podcast.
00:54:29.720
Well, his LinkedIn account was just deleted this last week.
00:54:34.940
That's the nicest thing you can do for somebody is delete their LinkedIn account.
00:54:38.480
If there's anything else, this is a blessing in disguise.
00:54:41.780
Someone, whoever owns, whoever is overseeing big tech right now is like, you know what?
00:54:49.100
Because it's the best thing that could ever happen to a human being is not have one.
00:55:02.880
If I had the choice of someone giving me a check for $8 million and my LinkedIn account
00:55:08.040
being deleted, I would get my LinkedIn account deleted.
00:55:20.800
They've just set up giant rooms of servers just to send me email.
00:55:33.960
But Robert Malone was actually a little offended.
00:55:38.240
And he said, my business pays for LinkedIn in premium.
00:55:47.220
Purchased a service from LinkedIn to promote my company.
00:55:49.980
This is very different from the YouTube or Twitter terms.
00:55:52.540
This arbitrary and capricious action has damaged our business and we deserve to be compensated.
00:55:57.900
Given no notice, no warnings, 10 to 15 year old account has never had a warning and then
00:56:04.520
they just deleted him because he said there were problems with the MRNA delivery device.
00:56:10.300
Even if you disagree with what he's saying, you know what I mean?
00:56:32.140
Another story that's breaking that doesn't seem to be getting a lot of coverage.
00:56:50.900
You might know him as the guy who's at all the ice cream stores.
00:57:01.940
Because he's always like, what flavor did you get?
00:57:03.480
I thought he was saying like, double chocolate chip.
00:57:06.200
I mean, look, if vanilla is available, I'm going to take it.
00:57:15.060
I'm never going to an ice cream specialty store and ordering vanilla.
00:57:21.600
You order one of the crazy flavors with all the toppings and stuff mixed in.
00:57:29.380
Like, if you have 30 flavors of ice cream, is vanilla still like the...
00:57:38.160
Like, I'm saying like, how does it do versus the other flavor?
00:57:41.900
Like, you expect vanilla chocolate strawberry to be probably the top three.
00:57:47.560
Maybe you get it as a cookie dough, a chocolate chip mixed in, something like that.
00:57:50.660
The basics are going to obviously outdo the other smaller flavor batches.
00:57:54.600
Because you can do so many things with vanilla.
00:58:04.200
As a man who owns a cookie company that had a bacon-based cookie very recently.
00:58:19.080
Now, I could, I suppose, just call Pat up and say, hey, Pat, can I get some cookies?
00:58:30.920
And they brought over the Butterbeer one, which is amazing, by the way.
00:58:38.040
That's just legitimately adoration for your freaking cookies.
00:58:49.480
This is what I think is the most important part of this.
00:58:55.300
Joe Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., the president of the United States.
00:59:12.680
You know how, like, Robin is Batman's sidekick?
00:59:21.680
I feel like it's Robin's transgendered sidekick is Robinette.
00:59:32.240
And he goes to certain clubs that he wouldn't normally go to.
00:59:35.900
Maybe he goes to the library and reads to kids on the weekends.
00:59:42.940
I mean, you can't wear that costume everywhere.
00:59:55.080
Who knows nothing about his son's business dealings.
00:59:58.200
Joe Biden keeps popping up in emails that point to a different conclusion.
01:00:02.020
That laptop of Hunter Biden's that most of the American media has chosen to ignore
01:00:09.260
As attorney Jonathan Turley reasons, it appears that Joe Biden is, in fact, aware that his
01:00:15.460
son peddles influence and helped him to do so as vice president.
01:00:23.880
Sometimes we get into these little stories of corruption.
01:00:26.740
And because we aren't all familiar with all the players in these stories, they can get
01:00:33.480
But let me at least give you some of these details.
01:00:35.600
Hunter and Biden family friend Jeff Cooper hatched a plan in 2013.
01:00:38.960
To invest in multiple businesses in Mexico and Latin America, using their relationship
01:00:43.700
with a Mexican billionaire Aleman family, with late patriarch Miguel Aleman Vardez, who
01:00:51.360
Cooper, an attorney who worked with Hunter's late brother, Beau Biden, on asbestos claims,
01:00:56.160
donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Biden political campaigns over the years,
01:01:00.600
was particularly excited by the venture's prospects.
01:01:05.760
This is setting up to be flippin' gigantic, brother.
01:01:09.640
I do respect the fact that they were not swearing.
01:01:11.900
Better than Hunter's record on his private messages, where he's using racial slurs constantly.
01:01:33.300
The prospects for profit only grew when Hunter joined the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma
01:01:38.820
He and Cooper sought the help of Valdez's grandson, an airline CEO, to forge a relationship
01:01:44.160
with the richest man in Latin America, Carlos Slim, in an attempt to cash in on the privatization
01:01:48.300
of the giant state-owned company Pemrex for Burisma and themselves.
01:01:53.280
While Hunter and Cooper were working on their business plans, they managed to get the billionaires,
01:01:57.380
Slim, Velasco, and McNani, a private meeting with then-Vice President Joe Biden.
01:02:06.900
But family, friend, and business associates of Hunter meeting with billionaires all over
01:02:13.240
Latin America and getting those billionaires meetings with the Vice President of the United
01:02:22.720
Photos on Hunter's laptop dated November 19th, 2015 show.
01:02:27.260
The six men smiling and hugging in the meeting in Joe Biden's vice presidential residence
01:02:32.740
at number one observatory circle, Washington, D.C.
01:02:36.040
Emails also show the billionaires met with Joe at the White House.
01:02:41.660
It is unclear, if anything, what was discussed with the Mexican billionaires.
01:02:46.160
But of course, this is what influence peddling is.
01:02:49.620
Remember, Joe said he knew nothing about Hunter's business dealings whatsoever.
01:02:57.500
He said they had one conversation where it was brought up and he said to Hunter, hey, is
01:03:07.340
Now, why on earth would he think that his son and a family friend would waltz in to the
01:03:15.780
White House and to the vice presidential residence with multiple Latin American billionaires for
01:03:29.520
This was discovered on Hunter Biden's laptop, which is still the most amazing story of all
01:03:35.180
The fact that this guy left this laptop at a computer repair shop is among the craziest
01:03:48.000
We just don't know how to convert that into American.
01:03:56.040
Russians could have come in, taken it, hacked into it, and then dropped it off at that computer
01:04:05.440
When this first started, I would have thought, there's no way Hunter Biden just left his laptop
01:04:11.560
at a computer repair shop so it could be, they could just go through and see all of his
01:04:22.240
He was probably so, I don't know, coked up or whatever.
01:04:27.560
And by the way, when you ask him this, he will not deny it.
01:04:37.740
But like, if these things were false by now, he could say, obviously it's not my laptop.
01:04:43.040
I didn't have photos with multiple billionaires inside of the Oval Office or inside of the
01:04:52.240
Pat, have you ever had photos with multiple billionaires inside the vice presidential
01:05:00.640
So if I took that laptop right there in front of you and I would scan the entire thing,
01:05:07.300
So I would know if someone produced a photo like that, that they were lying and it was
01:05:17.840
So I can't say for certain it may have been hacked in the meantime, you know, since last
01:05:27.000
Hunter can't do the thing you just did, at least honestly.
01:05:31.600
Now, he'll lie about it, I'm sure, at some point.
01:05:41.620
He doesn't know for sure, which is, you know...
01:05:51.100
No Republican would be allowed to have that answer.
01:05:54.760
No Republican would be able to say, I don't know, maybe it's my laptop?
01:05:58.080
Like, what person doesn't know if it's their laptop?
01:06:04.560
There's pictures of you hooking up with hookers all over it.
01:06:10.760
Maybe you don't remember every hooker you've been with.
01:06:18.880
This stripper here who happens to be the father of your child.
01:06:23.420
He doesn't seem to even remember the people who he's impregnated.
01:06:28.180
You remember the Anthony Weiner situation when he first showed his namesake?
01:06:50.460
Because he is, at the same time, blatantly lying to the entire country.
01:07:01.600
If I looked like that, I'd be showing that thing off in every spa around America.
01:07:07.000
I'd be swinging that thing around in libraries all over the country.
01:07:26.020
And then he could say, at least at the end, he could say, look, I told you.
01:07:34.160
Shockingly, by the way, he's having trouble getting hired.
01:07:43.740
I will say, though, in a recent interview, and I think this should happen, this should
01:07:48.500
And in a recent interview, he said he couldn't get a job.
01:07:54.560
And he thought to pay the bills, maybe what he could do is sell the laptop that started
01:08:00.440
the whole situation with the Uma Abedin laptop.
01:08:03.640
And that wound up opening up the investigation 10 days before the 2016 election, right?
01:08:10.620
That whole scenario started with Anthony Weiner.
01:08:26.740
You should buy the freaking thing and put it in the museum.
01:08:35.960
You need a toxic waste department to come in here and put it in the museum.
01:08:48.580
Like, I don't want to walk in a room with the same air as this thing.
01:08:58.260
I mean, I don't necessarily want Anthony Weiner to get money.
01:09:02.740
But on the other hand, it would be kind of a cool thing.
01:09:10.880
Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:09:16.040
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:09:21.440
Things pretty good over the weekend in Chicago.
01:09:27.860
95, at least 95 people were shot in Chicago over the Independence Day weekend.
01:09:36.400
Including two police officers and a 6-year-old girl.
01:09:50.120
And time after time after time after time, we're reading about weekends like this in Chicago.
01:09:56.140
That's because all the guns are coming from small suburban towns in red states.
01:10:06.640
What happens is all of the gangs leave Chicago and they go on train trips to Idaho and they go to the small, like a town of like a thousand people.
01:10:17.960
Big Trump voters where the gun laws are more lax.
01:10:21.480
And they go in, they legally buy those guns and then they bring them back to kill people.
01:10:36.600
They take the nice scenic, like the steam trains.
01:10:46.540
Like, oh, well, what they're doing is they're leaving.
01:10:53.860
The gangs aren't flying in to Texas to buy their guns.
01:10:59.620
If any, if they're coming from anywhere else, here's where they're coming from.
01:11:08.280
And those illegal guns are being used in cities across America.
01:11:14.720
It's happening often where people go into legal gun owners facilities.
01:11:21.520
Not sure what gun law, because my understanding is it's illegal to steal a gun.
01:11:28.800
But in reality, that is, that's where they're coming from.
01:11:32.560
They're not coming, like, there's not like, you know, gang leaders are like going into the
01:11:36.780
local gun shop in Wyoming and just saying, ah, you'd like to get, do you have a 175 AR-15s
01:11:50.620
And they're not, by the way, it's also not ghost guns.
01:11:53.040
These guys aren't building their own guns themselves.
01:12:12.560
You know what you want in your entertainment and sports network?
01:12:22.000
I don't know, like, what would you call a network like that?
01:12:36.200
Although this little situation that's developing, or that developed,
01:12:45.180
And we'll get into that, tell you what's going on there.
01:12:48.680
Also, we've got some amazing video from Georgetown and American Universities.
01:12:53.940
And you can see, it'll cause you some, maybe, consternation, perhaps,
01:13:02.480
for what our children believe about this country.
01:13:14.180
I don't know about you, but I tend to think that there are some experiences in life
01:13:22.040
I really don't have to go through it to know that it sucks.
01:13:26.260
I can kind of figure out that that one is something I want to avoid.
01:13:31.900
If you feel the same way, then what are you doing about it?
01:13:34.580
What are you doing to make sure that you don't have to live through it?
01:13:37.440
Because what you should be doing is getting LifeLock.
01:13:39.420
It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
01:13:43.680
Every day, we put our information at risk on the internet.
01:13:46.880
And LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity threats.
01:13:51.280
Plus, you'll have access to a dedicated restoration specialist if you become a victim.
01:13:55.360
No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.
01:13:59.300
But you can keep what's yours with LifeLock by Norton.
01:14:03.920
You can join up and get 25% off your first year with the promo code BECK.
01:14:33.340
You can check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, right before this one, every single day on the Blaze Radio and TV Network.
01:14:40.260
Or anytime you get your podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts.
01:14:43.940
Now, I think that, like, Stu Does America, that's a lot harder to get to, isn't it?
01:15:03.680
And what will happen is you'll see Stu Does America, the channel.
01:15:16.320
I think for both those programs, they both deserve five stars.
01:15:21.620
And you should definitely rate them five stars.
01:15:23.340
Also available, of course, on all the podcast platforms.
01:15:26.520
You may happen to frequent, as well as this radio show every day.
01:15:38.160
ESPN seemingly always having some issues lately.
01:15:51.000
Did Rachel Nichols really do something really horrible?
01:15:59.120
Because I was under the mistaken impression that it wasn't that big a deal.
01:16:14.160
She's one of the main NBA hosts of their post-game show or whatever, pre-game show.
01:16:23.540
She apparently had an issue where she left on her microphone.
01:16:31.280
And had a private conversation, oddly, with one of, like, LeBron James' advisors.
01:16:38.160
I would have never guessed he had an advisor, the way he acts.
01:16:41.600
I mean, I would have totally assumed he's a bad advisor.
01:16:47.300
Or maybe LeBron ignores everything his advisor advises.
01:16:51.560
I will say his comments in here are pretty freaking interesting, too.
01:16:56.760
So, basically, Rachel Nichols wants to be the lead anchor of the NBA coverage and realizes,
01:17:05.500
after her very long resume and lots of success and very well known, realizes she's not getting
01:17:20.840
I've never heard, you know, you hear bad, occasionally you'll hear from sports fans.
01:17:25.140
They don't particularly like female announcers as much.
01:17:30.480
Beth Whatserface is a really good example of that.
01:17:33.560
Beth Whatserface, who does the play-by-play college football from time to time.
01:17:45.940
And that's been a standard complaint from guys over the years, right?
01:17:50.220
I mean, we can admit that that's been something that other guys, not us, have engaged in.
01:17:57.100
So, but Rachel Nichols has always been one of the anchors that I thought has been highly,
01:18:03.400
Sage Steele is another one on ESPN that I think people really like.
01:18:09.140
Female announcers can do great jobs and whatever.
01:18:12.620
So, what's interesting here is she's off camera.
01:18:20.340
Now, Maria Taylor is a woman as well, an African-American woman.
01:18:25.000
Now, think about you in this situation for a second.
01:18:28.560
If you're Rachel Nichols, you just lost your big primetime gig, right?
01:18:35.540
Now, people at times in those private conversations might say stuff that, you know, like they don't
01:18:39.880
necessarily have evidence of, but they're, you know, expressing frustration.
01:18:43.040
And especially if, like she says it is, it's in your contract that you're going to have
01:18:52.060
So, here's what she says in a private conversation.
01:18:54.660
She says, I wish Maria Taylor all the success in the world.
01:18:59.540
If you need to give her more things to do because you're feeling pressure about your crappy
01:19:03.640
long-time record on diversity, which, by the way, I know personally from the female side
01:19:13.260
You're not going to find it from me or taking my thing away, end quote.
01:19:18.320
This has been, this is the type of thing at ESPN that it gets turned into an international
01:19:24.420
Now, what's fascinating about this is someone, we don't know who, who could it be?
01:19:31.800
I don't have evidence as to who it was, but I will say someone held onto this recording
01:19:38.720
for like a year and has now somehow gotten it to the New York Times right around the moment
01:19:46.080
Maria Taylor is renegotiating her contact with ESPN.
01:19:55.940
It's like the guy in the Netflix series, I think you should leave with Tim Robinson.
01:20:00.160
Tim Robinson's dressed up as a hot dog in a hot dog costume after a hot dog car crashes
01:20:05.620
into a clothing store and they're all looking around.
01:20:09.760
And the guy in the hot dog costume is saying, I don't know.
01:20:21.120
Now, we don't have any evidence that she was driving the hot dog car in this particular
01:20:24.420
situation, but it could be, could be, let's give us some scenarios.
01:20:34.740
Could be someone who just really cared about racial justice, Pat.
01:20:39.800
Could be someone with just a hardcore belief in racial justice.
01:20:46.400
But it's interesting that it's coming up, particularly at this time, when apparently the belief is
01:20:52.480
that ESPN has offered Maria Taylor multiple millions of dollars, but she wants multiple
01:21:02.900
At least that's the, that's the reporting going on right now.
01:21:13.840
What I find to be completely fascinating about this story.
01:21:17.380
And first of all, it falls right in to the Pat Gray sweet spot of liberals eating their
01:21:23.080
Because if you notice the comments from Rachel Nichols, she's not saying it's unfair to give
01:21:28.060
someone a job they don't necessarily deserve because of their physical characteristics.
01:21:34.540
They should just take away other people's jobs instead of hers.
01:21:38.120
And she's also saying that she, she was on this bandwagon already on the female side
01:21:45.720
So she's actually seemingly for people being promoted because of their physical characteristics.
01:21:54.300
Because she believes there's been some injustice against those people.
01:21:57.620
So she's not against, she wouldn't say like, I think, I don't think she would summarize her
01:22:02.300
position as I think the best person should get the job no matter what their, what their
01:22:12.980
Maybe even she's saying that ESPN has a bad record on diversity and they should be promoting
01:22:28.160
She can take some white guy's job is basically what she's saying.
01:22:35.640
Because there are approximately three white men who work at ESPN now, I think, at this point.
01:22:46.700
But if you're going to say they have a problem with diversity, there's women and BIPOCs everywhere
01:22:53.920
There's like you said, maybe three white people left.
01:22:58.380
I mean, look at our own Jason Woodlock, who works here at Blaze TV now.
01:23:09.720
When he was at ESPN, they started, what was it?
01:23:14.340
It was basically supposed to cover the intersection of race and sports.
01:23:19.260
And Jason was one of the people who started it.
01:23:22.740
And if you know Jason and his views on race and sports and that intersection, they are
01:23:34.760
And they took it in a totally different direction, which was essentially if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
01:23:44.260
Which is so weird because the average sports fan is not there.
01:23:47.780
Yeah, and the average sports fan is not going to the site either.
01:23:50.980
It's more of a political move now than something that could have been really interesting.
01:23:57.280
If you look back at some of Jason's work when he was there, I mean, some of it's fantastic.
01:24:05.900
So what I find to be fascinating about this story, though, is let's just play game theory
01:24:24.240
Because she said they were promoting Maria Taylor to this job because she's a black woman, right?
01:24:30.180
They're trying to just solve these diversity problems.
01:24:32.480
So they've promoted a black woman into this role, right?
01:24:35.900
What's fascinating about that is that this is specifically the request from the left that
01:24:44.080
you promote people because they are black women, right?
01:24:49.120
Back in the day, the position of everybody was hire the best person for the job.
01:25:06.140
You should give people who are, let's say, African-American a leg up whether they are the best person for the job or not.
01:25:15.100
You have to give a black person the job, right?
01:25:18.360
We saw this with the Lin-Manuel Miranda movie that came out recently in the Heights, I think it was called, where they got in trouble because they hired almost exclusively Hispanic actors, but not dark-skinned Hispanic actors or not dark-skinned enough.
01:25:34.840
So it wasn't about that the actors and the singers and the dancers did a bad job or they weren't the most qualified, is that they didn't have dark enough skin to please the woke crowd.
01:25:47.200
So what Rachel Nichols is saying and getting in trouble for and accusing ESPN of doing is the exact thing the woke people are requiring.
01:26:00.220
So how could you possibly win in this situation?
01:26:03.360
If you say they only put this black woman in this role because she's black, you're bad.
01:26:11.340
However, the woke left is also saying you must put this black woman in this role because she's black.
01:26:22.340
Second of all, you shouldn't even be trying to win because it's anti-American to, and I think completely wrong, to make decisions based on skin color.
01:26:32.860
I've had this weird inkling throughout my entire life that you should make approximately, exactly, zero decisions in your entire life based on skin color.
01:27:00.400
You know, MLK is not welcome in the movement anymore.
01:27:04.540
Someone's, you know, there's this book, Anti-Racist Baby, that we've talked about a few times from Ibram X.
01:27:10.440
Kendi, and it's basically a way to indoctrinate people into this, you know, babies, literally babies, into this hardcore left-wing woke ideology, you know, critical race theory.
01:27:22.160
It's all involved in this, even though it's occasionally denied.
01:27:25.600
And someone asked someone, but I know, hey, like, you know, why don't you, you know, they posted something negative about Anti-Racist Baby.
01:27:36.220
And they were like, well, why don't you like, why don't you, what's wrong with it being an Anti-Racist?
01:27:43.420
It's like, well, I prefer the way MLK went about it.
01:27:50.740
And I, what is, what we have now is this idea that we should discriminate against certain groups to try to even some score done by their ancient relatives.
01:28:04.460
And wrong, and, you know, I'm not going to teach my kids that.
01:28:12.120
And it's amazing to see ESPN try to figure out how to navigate this situation.
01:28:17.380
Because one is saying you should be woke for women.
01:28:19.960
The other person is saying you should be woke for black women.
01:28:23.160
And ESPN should be saying, hey, put the best host on the air.
01:28:41.420
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:28:46.300
Here's another example of liberals eating their own.
01:28:49.960
Gwen Berry, who turned her back on the flag in the National Anthem last week and took all the attention from the gold and silver medal winners and placed it on her in the hammer throw competition to see who were going to be our U.S. Olympians in that competition.
01:29:06.360
You know, she's getting some of her own medicine because what the left loves to do is look at your tweets from last week, last month, last year, or last decade, and then beat you over the head with them.
01:29:23.280
Well, somebody looked into the past tweets of Gwen Berry.
01:29:32.240
This sounds like it's about to take a sad turn, Pat.
01:29:34.280
It really is about to, Stu, because she has said some nasty things in the past.
01:29:40.360
And, like, after watching a video of a little white kid acting up, she says, this little white boy being bad as hell, I would smack his ass, then stomp him.
01:29:58.920
Now, I happen to, I've seen your car before, Pat, and you have a bumper sticker that says, white people, kids, hella disrespectful.
01:30:09.960
But I think it's okay for me because I'm a white person.
01:30:22.220
Even though they might be the same words, it's okay for you to call for stomping children.
01:30:37.520
Then she says, another tweet, just saw this girl wearing heels with white socks.
01:30:51.540
Is there a big use on Twitter for hashtag Chinese people?
01:30:57.480
And I will say, by the way, one interesting thing is the word girl, G-I-R-L.
01:31:10.220
Now, have you ever gone and searched hashtag Chinese people always trying to start new trends?
01:31:21.100
Then there's a, apparently, you do know about this trend, I'm pretty sure.
01:31:29.140
Just generalize an entire country that doesn't care.
01:31:38.380
It's been universally approved and cheered on by the media.
01:31:43.840
I will say, she also, they say that she made light of rape during a tweet when she said,
01:31:54.720
I know I'm not supposed to laugh at it, but it did make me laugh.
01:32:04.520
By the way, she did also criticize women who, she said, shout out to all the females that
01:32:09.440
are going to get drunk and get wrecked by four dudes, then cry rape this weekend.
01:32:30.740
Just when you think things can't get any worse.
01:32:39.760
Campus Reform went out to the Georgetown area with Georgetown students and American University
01:32:46.620
students and asked them about how proud they are about America because it was the 4th of
01:32:53.600
And they just wanted to see where our kids are at.
01:33:08.460
Today we're in Washington, D.C. talking with young Americans to see if they're proud to
01:33:14.080
Do they think that America is the greatest country in this world?
01:33:22.880
I feel embarrassed to be an American every day.
01:33:25.800
I think a lot of things about this country are really embarrassing.
01:33:29.440
Just like, I mean, racist history, colonization, even currently, just what's going on with politics
01:33:41.660
So obviously, I experience a lot of, you know, there's like oppression that comes with her.
01:33:51.300
I think sometimes it's just a little embarrassing.
01:33:53.640
We claim to like support everyone, but, you know, we continue to support Israel, which is,
01:34:00.020
you know, dislocating quite a few Palestinian people.
01:34:08.880
And what is there to be proud about if you're black and being like,
01:34:11.660
you know, because it's like, it's still a lot of stuff that goes on for black people.
01:34:18.140
I think I, I, I think most of the time, no, at least over like the past four years,
01:34:24.420
it's been tricky to, you know, love to be an American.
01:34:30.460
Like, partly, because like, I feel like there's certain topics where it's like very controversial,
01:34:37.620
I just think that our economy just cares about money.
01:34:43.380
I wouldn't say that I am as proud as I was, but I would still say there's a little bit
01:34:48.360
Do you think that America is the greatest country in this world?
01:34:50.240
I think, I mean, like, to be a white person, it's pretty good to live here.
01:34:55.820
But like, overall, I don't think it's the greatest country in the world.
01:35:03.320
I feel like the American dream is so sought after that it's not even a thing anymore.
01:35:08.880
I don't even really think there is an American dream really anymore.
01:35:11.480
I mean, like, I would honestly rather kind of live somewhere else.
01:35:21.340
I'd say that it's like the greatest in like the Olympics.
01:35:25.800
America's not really known for being like the most hospitable place, even though we have
01:35:29.500
a reputation like where it's like you can come here and do what you want to be, be what
01:35:35.920
It's not really the most welcoming to most people.
01:35:39.700
Can you name a country that's more welcoming than the United States?
01:35:48.660
Can you name a better country than the United States in your opinion?
01:35:57.220
I mean, there's probably a really tiny European country that's thriving.
01:36:10.660
Have you ever considered moving to another country?
01:36:22.060
I mean, I personally, I'm the type of person that likes to help people, so I was, I would
01:36:26.300
actually consider going to someplace, like, with more poverty.
01:36:30.420
Would you be willing to give up your U.S. citizenship?
01:36:43.900
Would you say that a college has helped shape your perception of being not proud to be an
01:36:49.040
I would say, yeah, because I went to HBCU, so yeah, definitely.
01:36:54.460
I also, I mean, I went to American, which is an extremely, like, liberal bubble school,
01:36:57.900
so I know it's kind of like lots of liberals just preaching to the choir, but I think I
01:37:02.400
learned a lot that I'm from Georgia, and I would have never learned if I had not taken
01:37:06.400
those classes just about the way the justice system works and zoning laws and everything
01:37:11.220
So I think college opened my eyes to a lot of these things.
01:37:19.340
I'm glad she found out about the zoning laws, because we try to keep that one secret.
01:37:24.140
We try to kind of sweep that under the rug, the zoning law situation.
01:37:27.780
That's why American University was created, to teach kids about zoning laws.
01:37:34.100
I think it's in their charter, as a matter of fact.
01:37:36.520
And that's also why you have to pay $49,889 per year to go there.
01:37:46.260
The impression of this country, we are terrible at oppressing people.
01:37:50.560
Like, the one lady who's like, you know what, it's just terrible to be here, was carrying
01:37:54.220
a bag from Foxtrot Market, which is an incredibly upscale market.
01:38:10.800
All sorts of imported cheeses from all around the world, from those poverty countries.
01:38:24.360
I mean, as a fan of America, I'm glad there are places like it in this country.
01:38:37.400
Could she, like, call Uber Eats or DoorDash or whatever?
01:38:42.140
But this is, she had to walk in the beautiful sunshine on July 4th to go get this one.
01:38:47.860
It really is amazing to see that because it's so common and it's just culturally popular.
01:38:53.100
I just love the one who wants to live in a place with more poverty.
01:38:58.880
You know, we just don't have enough poverty for her liking in this country.
01:39:03.680
And she wants to go to a place with more poverty.
01:39:06.940
Because who wants to live in a place that's doing well?
01:39:12.000
So, hopefully she'll be able to find a place like that.
01:39:21.700
The country of Europe is nice this time of year.
01:39:56.640
A global place for people who are like YouTube creators to go live.
01:40:10.260
So all these people who are like YouTube creators in Spain are all moving to Andorra
01:40:17.380
The media in Spain is wrecking them for moving there.
01:40:30.280
And, of course, Andorra also made it easier to get through the pandemic.
01:40:35.580
So, people went there and are enjoying their lives there.
01:40:39.600
And it's almost like there's this incredible idea where you'd have a global competition among countries
01:40:46.020
to make people have the most free life possible.
01:40:51.340
And people would choose in that market where to go.
01:40:54.940
As you see, if you've watched the border anytime recently,
01:40:58.120
you've seen a lot of people choosing the United States of America.
01:41:03.320
Pat, on the July 4th weekend, what are we actually doing?
01:41:09.920
and harassing them to keep their tax rates high
01:41:25.340
All saying, hey, don't lower your corporate tax rate too much.
01:41:29.940
Because if you do that, then people are going to leave us
01:41:38.740
in the agreement already have tax rates above this level,
01:41:46.340
We've obviously had rates much higher than that until recently.
01:41:50.680
But places like Ireland are like, wait a minute.
01:42:02.300
so they don't lose corporations to go to Ireland,
01:42:05.040
which, by the way, we should just be out-competing and winning.
01:42:11.720
We, like, basically brought the free market to market.
01:42:18.000
We should be able to out-compete Ireland for a business.
01:42:36.360
You know, we just came off an Independence Day weekend,
01:42:42.200
There are people who do appreciate this nation,
01:42:54.380
former professional baseball player from Venezuela,
01:43:02.840
he was on an interview with NBC Sports Chicago,
01:43:54.560
I've been living in this country for a long time,
01:44:21.280
Somebody who understands what America means to them.
01:44:24.920
Somebody who chokes up just speaking about becoming a citizen.
01:44:31.920
And when you're fleeing a place like Venezuela,
01:44:37.860
think of the life that he would have had had he remained there.
01:44:41.000
And it's a totally different existence for him and his family.
01:44:51.360
like nobody appreciates this country more than someone coming here from Nigeria.
01:44:55.940
And trying to escape the situation there to come see it here.
01:45:02.660
Or people who've come from a former Soviet satellite country.
01:45:09.840
These are the people that understand what America offers.
01:45:16.080
our kids at Georgetown taking everything for granted.
01:45:28.260
Did you save your 16 cents on your 4th of July meal over the weekend?
01:45:47.260
I think it was the Babylon Bee that said they're minting,
01:45:50.100
16 cent coins to honor the 16 cents we all saved on July 4th.
01:45:59.740
So the other thing about the 16 cents is that supermarkets are stockpiling inventory
01:46:10.540
They're stocking up on everything from sugar to frozen meat before they get even more pricey.
01:46:17.680
Girding for what some executives anticipate will be some of the highest price increases in recent memory.
01:46:24.120
Your 16 cent savings is going to go away even if I mean as if you had 16 cent savings.
01:46:33.040
Some supermarkets say they're buying and storing supplies to keep their shelves full amid stronger demand.
01:46:39.320
Grocery sales in the U.S. for the week ending June 19th rose about 15% from two years earlier.
01:46:44.320
15% stockpiling by food retailers is driving shortage of some staples and that's driving up prices too.
01:46:58.900
I don't know where the Biden administration shopped to get that 16 cent savings.
01:47:05.800
Because if you're buying meat and meat was included,
01:47:26.120
you notice that every single time you go to the pump filled up this morning.
