If you've ever found yourself in the situation where you're in public and you have to walk
00:00:05.600
around like a penguin with your arms down at your side so no one sees that you're sweating
00:00:08.920
through the armpits of your shirt, if you know what I mean there, where you have to
00:00:13.480
kind of wave at people with your hands down at your sides, if you do that, you may want
00:00:20.400
Sweat block, they have these wipes that you apply at night, will literally protect you
00:00:27.380
from embarrassing and uncomfortable sweat for days.
00:00:30.020
I think it's like once a week you put these things on.
00:00:32.300
Sweat block was developed by a Harvard doctor who was tired of doing a presentation with,
00:00:36.420
you know, the whole situation going on with too much sweat with his shirts.
00:00:42.700
If you like, you know, having a shirt that's not stained and embarrassing yourself, you want
00:01:02.240
Promo code is Beck, or you can get it on Amazon.
00:01:06.560
It is Stu and eventually Pat Gray will be joining us as well.
00:01:43.120
We've got to stand together if we're going to survive.
00:02:03.720
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:22.380
I want to start with one of the strangest stories here over the past couple of weeks.
00:02:28.840
The sudden awakening of journalism around Hunter Biden.
00:02:43.920
If you're living with aches and pains, especially if they're frequent and nagging and relentless,
00:02:48.520
I want you to take a moment and think back to the last time you really felt good.
00:02:56.420
What would you give to go back to feeling like that again?
00:02:59.280
Maybe it would just be nice to take a stroll with your loved one or play with your grandchildren.
00:03:03.480
I've suffered from persistent, crippling pain almost all the time for about five years.
00:03:08.740
When I started taking Relief Factor, I took it because my wife made me start taking it.
00:03:14.180
Yet here I am today, virtually pain-free, doing the things I love to do,
00:03:18.200
all thanks to my wonderful wife and Relief Factor.
00:03:21.240
I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors.
00:03:23.920
And about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
00:03:27.000
Are you part of that 70% that can get your life back?
00:03:29.980
Your first step to becoming pain-free just might be to order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.
00:03:43.980
Stu Bergarian here for Glenn Backpack Ray joining us here in just a minute.
00:04:03.760
And it's interesting to hear how that bender went because Hunter seems to be having a great old time.
00:04:08.980
He's out in Malibu paying $30,000 a month for Secret Service to protect Hunter Biden, which is fascinating.
00:04:17.040
I mean, he does have a lot of corrupt connections, so he probably does need the protection.
00:04:23.420
Protection from himself is probably the number one priority if you want to make sure Hunter makes it through the next few wonderful years of his art career.
00:04:34.320
It's interesting to see the bizarre series of events that has led the mainstream media to change its approach to Hunter Biden from one of complete, complete, you know, just turning off all of the news to the point where the nation's oldest newspaper, the New York Post, was banned from Twitter.
00:05:02.220
You could not post the link to the Hunter Biden laptop story back in the day, or you would get banned or censored or shadow banned or whatever the policy of the day was.
00:05:17.460
And as time went on, it became obvious this laptop was real.
00:05:23.260
We need to look back, though, and remember, it wasn't just the laptop.
00:05:26.800
The laptop was a big part of the evidence when it comes to Hunter Biden and the surrounding Biden crime family saga.
00:05:34.800
But it was also witnesses, people who worked directly with Hunter Biden on these deals coming out publicly and telling the news, hey, I work with a guy.
00:05:47.080
And we had emails from other children of high-powered Democrats like John Kerry.
00:05:55.720
And we looked there and we saw there was evidence that something big had gone on.
00:06:04.380
And even after the latest round of revelations, the Bidens are sticking to this line that Hunter Biden even didn't do anything wrong.
00:06:13.080
Now, the media has decided to change where this line is drawn.
00:06:16.140
And they have decided, we're going to say, OK, Hunter, maybe he did do some shady stuff, but Joe Biden, he's totally clean.
00:06:32.380
Forget the fact that we told you you were a conspiracy theorist about Hunter Biden a couple weeks ago.
00:06:40.220
But your new thing that Joe Biden is tied into this, that's the new conspiracy.
00:06:44.400
And we're supposed to sit back and take this, I guess.
00:06:54.500
The New York Times came out and they were the first ones.
00:06:57.300
And they threw it in paragraph, I believe it was 17 of a news story, where they said, hey, by the way, this is all we know about this because Hunter Biden had a laptop that he dropped off for computer repair.
00:07:14.420
We've been able to confirm them as if the half of the United States wasn't screaming about this a week before the election when it would have made a difference.
00:07:24.920
Now, the Washington Post has come out and they have also confirmed the laptop is real and confirmed these emails are real.
00:07:34.780
And they've written multiple stories over just the past couple of days, including.
00:07:45.260
Entitled the Hunter Biden story is an opportunity for a reckoning.
00:07:50.120
Now, when you hear that headline, what do you think?
00:07:53.920
I mean, in a rational world, what this would be would be a giant apology to anybody who cared about their country.
00:08:09.740
You had a choice to make on whether this was a corrupt guy coming into office in Joe Biden.
00:08:17.380
In fact, we intentionally suppressed it because we wanted the other guy.
00:08:25.220
So we intentionally suppressed it and didn't tell you about it and didn't look into it.
00:08:30.560
We stuck our head in the sand and we hoped you didn't look there.
00:08:35.520
So now, two years later, we can tell you about it.
00:08:41.480
A moment of self-reflection for the media where they can stop.
00:08:45.140
They can stop themselves and say, wait a minute.
00:08:50.600
Are we an arm of the Democratic Party or are we journalists?
00:08:56.020
In a rational world, that's what this op-ed would be.
00:09:08.300
We're going to try better in the in the future.
00:09:09.920
And I think a lot of people on the conservative side look at this and say, first of all, obviously, that's not going to happen.
00:09:15.120
But secondly, it's they've always been this way.
00:09:23.040
I think something has changed in the media now.
00:09:28.700
They've always been a collection of people who vote liberal.
00:09:32.300
We've seen polls of newsrooms where you're talking 90 percent, 95 percent of people will vote for the Democratic candidate.
00:09:40.380
But there has been this idea among journalists.
00:09:44.360
And you look at a lot of the old school journalists.
00:09:46.460
And this proves out where they at least wanted to give the impression that they were doing journalism.
00:09:53.700
They wanted you to think what they were doing was some sort of fair reporting on the news.
00:10:01.160
They wanted you to believe that while sure they might be liberal in their personal life, they're looking at these things fairly and analyzing them so that you can understand and make your own decisions.
00:10:13.340
It wasn't real, but they wanted you to believe it.
00:10:16.920
And some of them had convinced themselves that, yeah, I see things through this prism, but I'm doing that's not my job.
00:10:24.780
My job is to be a journalist and I'm going to come and I'm going to deliver the news.
00:10:28.080
And it's impossible to remove your humanity out of that situation.
00:10:32.640
You can't just say, OK, well, I'm going to be completely fair.
00:10:35.960
I know I come at these stories and I see them through a conservative prism and you probably do as well.
00:10:42.600
You know, it's OK to admit, OK, I see the world as a better place with less government involvement.
00:10:50.040
So I'm going to be more skeptical of a giant government program than a liberal might be.
00:10:55.220
And journalists used to be able to say, OK, well, we're at least trying.
00:10:59.360
We're trying to do our best to to tell the truth to the people.
00:11:13.280
In November of 2016, when Hillary Clinton lost that election and Donald Trump was announced as the winner, that's the moment it died, because and this is I tell this to people all the time and they can't believe it.
00:11:26.740
If you don't know people in the media, if you don't know liberals in the media, we know a bunch of them.
00:11:37.960
They're wonderful, wonderful people, of course, in every circumstance.
00:11:47.680
The one time they've taken responsibility for anything in their lives is Donald Trump and they blame themselves for this.
00:11:56.020
And the reason this is it's hard for people to wrap their arms around this, but I'm just going to say it.
00:12:04.340
You may want to pull over to the side of the road.
00:12:05.860
It may make you so angry that you just look for the nearest bridge abutment and drive into it.
00:12:11.640
But what the media in these big cities believe is that in 2016, they were too tough on Hillary Clinton.
00:12:25.240
They really think the 2016 election was a story of unfair treatment to Hillary Clinton because they focused too much on her email scandal and too much on her corruption.
00:12:38.760
Now, that is the most disconnected from reality view that I can possibly imagine.
00:12:46.300
They were not too difficult, too tough on Hillary Clinton.
00:12:56.160
And so when we got to 2020, we're eight or nine days before the election, a laptop comes in admittedly strange circumstances.
00:13:06.120
It's I mean, look, I can understand there being a little skepticism on Rudy Giuliani showing up with a laptop a week before the election, saying it was left at a computer shop by Hunter Biden.
00:13:16.520
And I can understand why you might show a tad bit of skepticism as to the origin story of this laptop.
00:13:23.160
But it's your job in the middle of the biggest story of anyone's lives.
00:13:29.840
And check on this laptop to see if it affects that big story of the election.
00:13:34.760
It was I mean, we're in the middle of a pandemic.
00:13:43.240
We have a presidential election and you get a big piece of evidence like this.
00:13:47.700
And they decided we're not going to let 2016 happen again.
00:13:53.220
We will not let it happen again under our watch.
00:14:06.040
We are not going to be responsible for another four years of Donald Trump.
00:14:10.200
We are not going to tell the people, hey, look, maybe the Biden crime family is as corrupt as the Clinton crime family was.
00:14:19.260
We don't want you thinking about that right before you go cast your vote.
00:14:25.260
And so they suppressed this evidence brought not only by Rudy Giuliani, but but by the New York Post.
00:14:34.720
And you might say, well, that's not a liberal newspaper.
00:14:37.680
They're not liberal enough for you, but they're there a they're the nation's oldest newspaper.
00:14:42.720
At the very least, you could allow them to tell their story and then critique it if you think there's a problem with it.
00:14:47.140
But NPR was out there saying, hey, we're not going to cover the Hunter Biden thing because we don't cover B.S. stories.
00:15:00.260
Not only are we going to do what we did last time with Hillary Clinton.
00:15:03.920
Last time with Hillary Clinton, we went to the we I mean, you remember the stories about it.
00:15:08.360
Yes, they reported on the email scandal, but then they told you why it didn't matter over and over and over and over again.
00:15:15.400
They believe that just alerting people to the possibility of a story was too much information because you might make the wrong choice.
00:15:31.020
They decided to completely hide this story from you for two years.
00:15:43.100
We're coming up on two years on this story and they're finally getting around to telling you, oh, by the way, all of that was true.
00:16:00.380
We'll get into those reasons coming up in just a second.
00:16:02.760
First, I want to tell you about Blinds.com, whether it's, you know, whether fast food, you're thinking about where you're going to go get breakfast, whether it's where you want to eat for lunch, whether what fast food restaurant you're going to eat for dinner.
00:16:17.800
All these decisions I go through every day and they're very, very difficult.
00:16:20.400
If you can't make decisions like that, you're going to love Blinds.com.
00:16:23.600

00:16:41.200

00:17:20.600
So the media makes such a big deal of coming up with a policy on Hunter Biden, which is, you know, head in the sand.
00:17:46.000
Because they don't have to tell you about this.
00:17:47.680
People like, oh, now they have to talk about it.
00:17:50.180
If they don't have to talk about this story a week before a presidential election, they never have to talk about it.
00:18:04.960
Hunter Biden is on the verge of being indicted.
00:18:07.220
And they don't feel like that story is going to get past you.
00:18:14.000
And they don't think they can hide that one from you.
00:18:16.260
They can hide speculation on evidence of a laptop.
00:18:19.640
But when Hunter Biden is you're seeing him all over social media being arrested or indicted, it's going to be difficult to hide that one.
00:18:29.680
And this is the theory put forward by Peter Schweizer, the author, who just wrote a book.
00:18:37.340
He has access to multiple email accounts of people who have given him access to these accounts to look at these emails.
00:18:46.900
And a lot of it has to do with the connections to China.
00:18:49.980
Some of these connections have been confirmed by places like The Washington Post and The New York Times now after his book came out.
00:18:57.260
And he believes that they have enough to indict him.
00:19:06.340
You know, we were the ones that we broke that story.
00:19:10.620
Once we got confirmation, we just needed some time to confirm it.
00:19:30.440
And you might say, well, the media never turns on a Democratic president.
00:19:34.800
However, it was a pretty special circumstance here.
00:19:38.420
We have never seen a worse 15 months to start a presidency than the one we're seeing right now.
00:19:54.280
But we're talking about an approval rating that's already sinking into the 30s.
00:20:00.500
Picture a world where Republicans dominate the House in wave fashion, take the Senate back.
00:20:08.560
And we're looking at a presidential election a couple of years away when you have a Democratic president who's in his late 70s,
00:20:20.040
Republicans has a son who might implicate him in massive crimes internationally.
00:20:30.440
You might say to yourself as a Democrat, look, let's be honest with ourselves.
00:20:36.880
This might be the time to pressure him to say, you know what, Joe?
00:20:42.780
You got so much going on with your family, though.
00:21:00.580
This this White House you've moved into, move into another house anywhere else in the country.
00:21:08.160
There has to be a softening of the ground for that type of thing.
00:21:11.380
And it's not guaranteed that that's going to happen.
00:21:13.160
I mean, I think Biden wants to stay there and, you know, name recognition alone.
00:21:17.380
He'll have a good chance of winning that nomination, no matter what his approval rating is among Democrats.
00:21:23.400
But the way to get rid of him is for the media and the Democratic Party to pressure him to get out.
00:21:29.520
He is very susceptible to pressure from the left, as we've seen over the first 15 months.
00:21:35.160
And the third possibility is that the media suddenly realized that they treated Trump unfairly and will now make an attempt at actual journalism.
00:21:48.940
Yeah, absolutely zero chance that one is that is the true option.
00:22:14.660
In this op-ed, I talked to you about the Hunter Biden story as an opportunity for a reckoning.
00:22:18.900
Sure, they say maybe we should have covered this slightly differently.
00:22:23.080
The entire piece is justifying why they covered it the way that they did.
00:22:26.900
Talking about why it was a rational choice to blame Russian disinformation for the laptop.
00:22:37.020
They're saying now it was a rational choice for them to blame Russian disinformation back in 2020.
00:22:48.300
What is coming here is one of the other two options.
00:22:52.380
Either something is about to break with Hunter Biden in the near future,
00:22:56.000
or there's a bit of a realization going on among Democrats that they might need to change course and change course fast.
00:23:09.720
Ever since he tried the Rough Greens for the first time, my dog Uno has changed.
00:23:15.400
I hear from people all the time in the audience.
00:23:18.360
I mean, hundreds and hundreds of letters have come in who have had the same experience with their dog.
00:23:23.080
They've heard me talk about Rough Greens on the show.
00:23:26.180
And as soon as they sprinkle it on the dog's food, the dog literally wolfs it down.
00:23:32.480
It's just chock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and omega oils that you sprinkle.
00:23:40.720
From the first time he tried Rough Greens, Uno was in love.
00:23:43.940
Some dogs take a little bit to get used to the new flavor, though.
00:23:46.840
Dr. Dennis Black, the inventor of Rough Greens, was on the phone with me last week.
00:23:50.600
He doesn't want that to be a reason for you not to try.
00:23:52.840
So right now, he's got a special gift available.
00:23:54.980
You can get a free bag of Rough Greens for your dog just to try out.
00:24:00.520
Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833-GLEN-33.
00:24:05.620
Put it on your dog's food and begin to watch your dog become healthier.
00:24:13.700
There's much more after the break on the Glenn Beck program.
00:24:23.600
So the New York Post got a hold of what was in the computer.
00:24:28.220
And, you know, because the New York Post is a Republican paper.
00:24:31.880
And the New York Times and the Washington Post are the Democrat paper.
00:24:36.860
And the Republican paper, Twitter wouldn't cancel their account.
00:24:44.780
And now, two years later, the New York Times and the Washington Post have come around to say,
00:24:50.440
Now, what I said at the beginning, how it came to them?
00:24:53.360
It came to them through Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon.
00:24:56.100
So, yes, of course, when Rudy Giuliani says, I've got some evidence,
00:25:09.660
It looks like the left-wing media just buried the story because it wasn't part of their narrative.
00:25:16.580
You have to love the crowd at the Bill Maher show for HBO,
00:25:21.040
where the only thing in that entire monologue they clapped for is the one slap at Rudy Giuliani.
00:25:27.480
Everything else is a slap at the media, how they didn't handle the Hunter Biden story.
00:25:33.320
And then he says one little throwaway line about Rudy Giuliani not being completely trustworthy as a campaign operative.
00:25:43.200
By the way, you can get a Hunter Biden laptop case at HunterBidenLaptopCase.com.
00:25:51.220
HunterBidenLaptopCase.com is the place to go to get that.
00:25:54.320
If you want to have the ultimate in Hunter Biden wear, you'll enjoy that.
00:26:03.480
And we are talking about the way the entire media, and not to mention just the media, but the Republicans as well,
00:26:11.600
how they decide to react to these stories as they break.
00:26:15.420
And this goes to the Ketanji Brown-Jackson saga as well.
00:26:21.300
Ketanji Brown-Jackson, of course, is going to be the nominee for the Supreme Court.
00:26:34.100
We taught, we told you this at the very beginning.
00:26:36.220
If you were expecting a real fight from Republicans on Ketanji Brown-Jackson,
00:26:47.540
There, of course, would be a couple of senators who would say some critical things.
00:26:51.100
They weren't going to just sit there and act as if she was perfect.
00:26:53.580
But there was never any chance that you were going to get a real fight from the Republicans on this one,
00:26:59.440
because they looked at the political realities and they tried to judge them, judge them.
00:27:03.240
And what they saw was that they could not stop Ketanji Brown-Jackson basically no matter what.
00:27:12.780
That is essentially what you just saw happening.
00:27:15.220
You read the stories about this and they act as if Brett Kavanaugh was nothing compared to what Ketanji Brown-Jackson just went through.
00:27:25.880
It's just, it's incredible to see the reaction to this.
00:27:29.440
They didn't accuse, as far as I know, and Pat Gray joins the program.
00:27:34.140
As far as I know, Pat, they didn't accuse Ketanji Brown-Jackson of rape.
00:27:55.940
Did they ask her anything about her drinking habits?
00:28:05.980
You had a couple of people like Ted Cruz who asked him some questions and Josh Hawley about her...
00:28:11.980
Seemingly lenient sentences for child porn purveyors.
00:28:19.380
When you're talking about a judge and some of her rulings, I think that's fair game.
00:28:26.000
And this was sort of portrayed as like, why are the Republicans saying she's in favor of child porn?
00:28:34.640
What they're saying is, her judicial philosophy shows she's not tough on criminals.
00:28:44.780
Do we want that as, you know, the Supreme Court justice we're getting?
00:29:07.420
The Joe Manchin vote to me, and Joe Manchin has held the line on a couple of small things
00:29:12.180
here and there, but generally speaking, Joe Manchin will not save you.
00:29:26.420
He will not come from the clouds with beams of sun behind him to save the day.
00:29:30.700
Now, he might shave a couple of dollars off of, you know, a bill here and there.
00:29:37.300
But particularly when he's alone, he's not going to do that.
00:29:40.880
He had Kyrsten Sinema with him on Build Back Better, which still, I think, has a good
00:29:45.720
chance of going through in some form, scaled down form.
00:29:55.760
This is not a guy who's holding the line on spending.
00:29:58.100
He just didn't want to spend $3.5 because his state absolutely would hate him for it.
00:30:06.200
That was the end of the actual drama to this hearing.
00:30:09.540
The question now just was what Republicans were going to go the other way and vote for
00:30:17.700
And Pat, I've worked up a list here of the worst votes.
00:30:21.640
The worst votes for Republicans when it comes to this confirmation.
00:30:25.420
I'm going to give an honorable mention to Lindsey Graham.
00:30:28.620
And I want to say, Lindsey Graham is voting against Ketanji Brown-Jackson, okay?
00:30:42.240
He is a senator you do not need to tolerate in South Carolina.
00:30:51.240
And people are like, oh, well, I liked Lindsey Graham in the Kavanaugh hearings.
00:30:57.260
This is when he shines, when he could make a big deal of himself and use that to raise funds.
00:31:07.760
And so now he's showing up to oppose Ketanji Brown-Jackson, not because he has any principle, because he has a personal relationship of sorts with another person who was in the final three, Judge Childs, from South Carolina.
00:31:29.880
And he's mad he didn't get it because he said in advance he would vote for her.
00:31:35.200
One of the final three in Joe Biden's shortlist was from South Carolina.
00:31:51.460
So there's three Republicans that we believe are going to vote for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to get her through.
00:32:11.860
This is a state that is, you might be able to convince me it's sort of purplish at times, but it certainly leans blue.
00:32:19.700
A real conservative in Maine would have a tough time winning.
00:32:26.120
Here is a case where a political consideration, if you're going to make one and not vote on principle, which is what I would prefer.
00:32:32.960
But if you're going to make a political consideration, you could make the argument this vote might actually help Susan Collins stay in the Senate.
00:32:39.740
And while Susan Collins is a terrible senator, I mean, she's awful.
00:32:46.200
But, as opposed to what you might have in Maine if Collins were to lose, you could make an argument she's better than the alternative there.
00:32:56.160
She's about as good as you're going to get in Maine.
00:32:59.640
At least there's an argument to be made that that's true.
00:33:03.640
And this vote may actually help her in Maine so she can say, I swear, she needs moderates there.
00:33:08.300
She needs some liberals there to vote for her to win.
00:33:10.560
And so you could make the argument that that might actually help her stay in power.
00:33:22.060
It's somewhat baffling because she's in the middle of a primary battle.
00:33:27.700
Now, she did lose the nomination a couple of cycles ago.
00:33:32.560
And she ran as a write-in candidate in the state.
00:33:37.680
And her name is so well known in the state that she actually won as a write-in candidate in one of the, I would say, one of the most incredible political achievements.
00:33:48.080
When you get to the write-in period, you just don't win.
00:33:51.740
She might be the only U.S. senator to ever win a write-in campaign.
00:33:58.700
There was another, was it a congressman that did it recently?
00:34:04.220
But I don't think I've ever remembered a statewide race going that way.
00:34:08.760
She won as a write-in because it was during the Tea Party wave election.
00:34:13.340
And she lost the primary to the Tea Party sort of candidate who then wound up losing to her.
00:34:22.000
She ran as a, I believe, an independent and won as a write-in candidate and won.
00:34:29.540
But she is in the middle of a primary challenge in a likely Republican wave election year.
00:34:34.900
And this is not going to help her in the primary.
00:34:39.500
I don't see why she would do this other than the fact that she really is just a left-leaning politician who believes Ketanji Brown-Jackson will probably be halfway decent.
00:34:52.740
And, you know, there is this thing, and we've seen this before from senators, there's this thought that you should just approve the nominees of the president.
00:35:05.640
He thinks it's constitutional that you just, yeah.
00:35:07.740
You basically just say yes unless it's really egregious.
00:35:10.960
If he doesn't want somebody and they're, you know, somewhat decent, just give it to him.
00:35:16.320
Especially in this case where it's not going to change the balance of the court.
00:35:19.300
You're going from a hardcore liberal to a hardcore liberal.
00:35:29.660
We don't have any official vote, but he's not announced anything of that effect.
00:35:34.360
She just approves these things, and she's also on the left.
00:35:36.420
But the gold medal, the number one, the unquestionable worst moment of this entire hearing is, of course, obviously, without a doubt, Mitt Romney.
00:35:50.660
Mitt Romney, a guy who's from freaking Utah, a senator from Utah, a state that can give us someone like Mike Lee, who's the best senator in the Senate.
00:36:06.980
And instead, we have what I now believe is the worst senator in the Senate.
00:36:11.940
Because, you know, you could say Susan Collins has a worse voting record, and you'd be right on that.
00:36:17.000
Collins is worse when it comes to a voting record.
00:36:26.600
And what's completely inexcusable here is that Mitt Romney voted against her last time when she was up for just a federal court gig.
00:36:48.220
And this is the thing with Romney, which is so irritating, is where someone like Lindsey Graham will vote, you know, for a Ketanji Brown Jackson when no one's paying attention, you know?
00:37:03.360
And then when people are really looking at him, he's like, ah, crap, this is a big one.
00:37:12.160
I think Mitt Romney knows she's radical and voted against her last time because of it.
00:37:16.760
But now, when he's in the sunlight of the media and everyone's fawning on people who will go against the Republican grain, people notice, now he wants that adoration from the media.
00:37:37.480
It's a sad puppy dog that's been kicked by its owner too many times and keeps coming back hoping this time they'll pet him.
00:37:47.180
They're going to leave you on the roof is what they're going to do, Mitt.
00:37:49.640
They're going to drive down the highway leaving you on the roof.
00:37:58.700
Your identity and your money belong to you and you've worked hard to build up what you have and no doubt you'd probably like to keep it.
00:38:04.840
It's a travesty that there are people whose goal it is to victimize people like you by stealing your identity.
00:38:16.120
The best thing you can do is be prepared for it and the best way I know to be prepared is to have LifeLock.

Whoopi Goldberg making Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination.
00:39:26.920
All about race, of course, because that's what everything is.
00:39:35.780
You can't, I guess you can't just oppose her based on her rulings over the years.
00:39:40.680
You can't just decide, okay, she's kind of an extremist.
00:39:45.300
You can't do that to a black Supreme Court nominee unless the name is Clarence Thomas.
00:39:51.220
Then you can make up all kinds of stories about things on Coke cans and all of that.
00:39:59.800
They're still trying to get him kicked off the Supreme Court now.
00:40:02.880
I mean, they're in the middle of saying, well, his wife texted somebody and we didn't like
00:40:12.540
He's done absolutely nothing wrong and they're trying to get him kicked off the bench.
00:40:15.560
I mean, do we go after Jackie Gray over Pat Gray's texts?
00:40:24.240
You have independence as a spouse to be your own person and Ginny Thomas might believe
00:40:31.040
There's no evidence that Clarence Thomas believes any of the things that Ginny Thomas says, especially
00:40:37.680
And they go back and they're like, look at this clip.
00:40:39.100
This is from a speech in 2003 where Clarence Thomas says he loves his wife with all of
00:40:57.880
But whoopies words were, this is the most ridiculous.
00:41:01.120
Just say, I don't trust a black woman to do the job because I know y'all didn't have
00:41:05.320
the same issues with Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
00:41:15.640
Or, as you point out with Amy Coney Barrett, the gender either doesn't seem to be an issue.
00:41:27.100
Whoopi Goldberg always bringing the intellect to the conversation.
00:41:36.960
When you're a dog owner, you want to do everything you can to give them a long, healthy, happy
00:41:59.300
They all have different needs for their nutrients and everything.
00:42:07.160
And if you have a dog and you want your dog to be, whether it's make your older dog more
00:42:13.940
spry, a little more active, or just get the best nutrients you can in your puppy.
00:42:21.760
It's a supplement that you sprinkle on top of the dog food.

We've got the Battle of Republican Governors coming up to talk about.
00:43:57.960
He's not the one battling, but he's the one being attacked.
00:44:03.700
We always talk about how to fight back against the crazy education system we have.
00:44:14.400
Part of that is, of course, through legislation.
00:44:20.080
It's also about doing your best for your kids and making sure your kids have the foundations
00:44:24.060
they need to understand the principles of what's made America great.
00:44:28.140
I have two kids, a 9-year-old and a 10-year-old, and they actually ask me to read Tuttle Twins
00:44:37.160
And if you don't know what the Tuttle Twins books are, they're books that talk about foundational
00:44:41.760
principles of the American experiment about capitalism.
00:44:46.120
I mean, the famous essay, I Pencil, if you know that essay, which was basically a love
00:44:54.420
And they have a book about that where the Tuttle Twins telling that story that your kids
00:45:00.400
They're not going to read an essay, an economic essay, but this they will read and enjoy.
00:45:05.200
They also might not read an essay about the Fed.
00:45:08.480
Well, they will read the Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island.
00:45:12.000
And that tells that story about what all that means, and it teaches it to them in a way
00:45:17.420
that they're going to understand and really enjoy.
00:45:19.960
The Tuttle Twins are giving away this book about money and inflation right now.
00:45:25.440
All the Tuttle Twin books are excellent, but this book is crucial for families to read
00:45:28.660
today so that they can prepare for what's coming.
00:45:32.600
While supplies last, get your free copy of The Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island.

I always hate it when Republicans start trying to eat their own.
00:45:50.960
Let the Democrats do that, the extreme left wing eating the slightly less extreme left
00:45:59.000
I don't understand why Republicans feel the need to start attacking other Republicans unless
00:46:05.760
they're going to start campaigning for president.
00:46:13.040
Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland slamming Ron DeSantis over the Disney bill.
00:46:21.520
And the fact that Ron DeSantis was taking on Disney for their action and trying to stop
00:46:35.800
Your fellow Republican governor, DeSantis in Florida, he suggested that he will retaliate
00:46:41.820
against Disney after it criticized Florida's so-called don't say gay bill, which bans certain
00:46:47.720
instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom.
00:46:53.300
And then more broadly, what do you make of that legislation?
00:46:56.300
Well, I didn't really actually see the details of the legislation, but the whole thing seems
00:47:13.840
It's good to see Hogan is doing the same thing.
00:47:21.060
DeSantis is always talking about, you know, he was not demanding that businesses do things,
00:47:26.580
but he was, you know, telling the cruise lines what they had to do.
00:47:29.480
He was telling local schools what they had, mandating.
00:47:31.520
And now he wants to criticize Disney for expressing, you know, how they feel about that bill.
00:47:51.380
Like, how do we know Ketanji Brown-Jackson is the first black female if she doesn't know
00:47:58.440
If you don't know what's in the bill, how do you know it's a joke?
00:48:02.100
Shouldn't you read it before you call it that, though?
00:48:06.080
Shouldn't you have an idea what's in it before you criticize it?
00:48:13.040
If you're going to go on television and talk about something, shouldn't you know something
00:48:17.840
In my estimation, the answer to all of those questions, Stu,
00:48:26.520
Have you heard any Republicans, including Ron DeSantis, say that they don't have a right
00:48:38.120
And he's doing to Ron DeSantis exactly what he's accusing Ron DeSantis of doing to Disney.
00:48:45.180
He's not taking away Ron DeSantis' freedom of speech.
00:48:48.640
He's just like, DeSantis didn't take away Disney's freedom of speech.
00:48:52.180
Hogan has a right to be able to express his, admittedly, on his own behalf, his admittedly
00:49:02.520
I mean, he doesn't know what he's talking about at all.
00:49:05.040
But he has a right to say the dumb thing he's saying.
00:49:10.580
And framed in the question from Dana Bash on CNN is the don't say gay bill.
00:49:15.720
The people who call it that are already setting it up to be a lie.
00:49:22.260
You've already set it up to be something it's not.
00:49:29.120
It has nothing to do with not saying the word gay.
00:49:32.960
And yet you cannot find a headline that will call it something else.
00:49:41.980
It's what I find fascinating about this, Pat, is they all say it's the don't say gay bill, right?
00:49:48.060
And what do you always notice about the don't say gay bill when it's in the headlines?
00:50:04.060
Because they weren't going to be told by Florida not to say gay.
00:50:08.780
Even though Florida wasn't telling them not to say that.
00:50:12.920
They always say, well, look, it's just, here's the thing.
00:50:22.660
I went back to trace back the history of this on Studos America the other night.
00:50:27.640
And went back to the very first tweet that was called this bill the don't say gay bill.
00:50:34.200
And it was some obscure organization in Florida that supposedly was about reading.
00:50:41.580
It was like, you know, one of these organizations that was saying, reading is fundamental, Pat.
00:50:53.820
And also, it seems like they really care about reading, but only books about being gay when we're being read by children.
00:51:03.660
Like, they don't care about, you know, a normal, everyday classic.
00:51:08.560
They only care about books that will tell you, your kids, that they can be gay or change genders or whatever else the thing of the day is.
00:51:21.820
It's been promoted heavily by Chasen Buttigieg, the husband of our wonderful labor secretary.
00:51:29.980
The first don't say gay tweet goes back to this.
00:51:35.600
There's Equality Florida jumped on the bandwagon very early.
00:51:39.040
Um, and, uh, another one called the Florida Freedom to Read was the very first one that I could find that talked about this bill in that context.
00:51:50.820
And it seems like, and this is just bizarre, but, like, all on the same day, Pat, out of nowhere, all of these organizations, on the same exact day, all started calling it the same thing.
00:52:02.440
It's so weird that the Rainbow Democrats, the Equality Democrats, uh, the Florida Right to Read Foundation or whatever the heck it is, all these organizations, all these random Twitter accounts, all on the same day, all started calling it the same thing.
00:52:24.640
I'm just going to, I'm going to go out there and say this.
00:52:33.540
As we know, I mean, you know, the details, I'm sure you've been over it a million times on Pat Gray Unleashed, and we've talked about it here.
00:52:41.220
It does not even stop, uh, fourth grade teachers from talking, uh, to, uh, to putting in their curriculum, uh, stories about gay and gender transition.
00:52:52.620
All it does, all it does is prevent you from having explicit sexual conversations with kindergartner through third graders.
00:53:03.100
And if it's fourth grade and above, it needs to be age appropriate.
00:53:06.760
So if you're opposing this bill, you are outwardly arguing for an inappropriate conversation with children.
00:53:14.560
Because if it's appropriate, it's okay with the bill.
00:53:17.000
So the lies have been fast and furious from its inception.
00:53:20.500
As you mentioned, the Don't Say Gay thing started right away.
00:53:25.100
The other thing that they started lying about was that teachers then couldn't talk about their gay partners.
00:53:33.540
I can't even, I can't, I'm scared to death now that I can't even mention my life partner.
00:53:44.300
Nothing in this bill prevents you from doing that.
00:53:49.040
Yeah, they went back and put that in the bill so that nobody could claim that, and they still claim it.
00:53:55.280
But you could look at the fact checks on the bill, and they're like, well, originally it was put in there.
00:53:59.600
And some critics believe that, for example, like a teacher saying, they asked, some kid asked the teacher, what did you do this weekend?
00:54:06.280
And they say, oh, I was with my, you know, a woman says, oh, I was with my wife, and we went to the park.
00:54:12.840
And like the Republicans are like, that's not what we're saying.
00:54:15.820
All right, let's put it in there specifically to make sure, you know, nobody has that idea.
00:54:21.220
You can talk about kayaking with your partner if you want to.
00:54:26.820
This is what, I mean, I think you could really make an argument that this bill does not do what Republicans think it does.
00:54:33.120
It does not prevent a conversation about sexuality or gender with second graders.
00:54:42.720
The only thing it does is prevent it from being in the planned curriculum.
00:54:46.680
So they could still have an off-the-cuff conversation about kayaking that leads to, by the way, your gender could change at any moment, kids.
00:54:58.980
But it just can't be part of the planned curriculum.
00:55:02.880
And it can be part of the planned curriculum with fourth graders.
00:55:11.180
In fact, it's the goal of their company not to make good Star Wars movies, not to make Space Mountain, not to embrace Mickey Mouse.
00:55:31.820
That's the goal of their company according to the company.
00:55:34.700
So obviously, DeSantis, Ron DeSantis, fighting against that.
00:55:40.260
And Larry Hogan from Maryland slamming him for it when he hasn't even read the bill.
00:55:46.600
Which leads you to believe Larry Hogan is going to run for president.
00:55:54.000
He believes he can be the sensible Republican who comes out, who can win over Democratic voters and moderate voters in the primary.
00:56:03.480
Does anybody even know who he is outside of Maryland?
00:56:12.740
You know, he's the acceptable Republican to the left because he disagrees with Republicans all the time.
00:56:20.200
He is among the most popular governors in America, too.
00:56:23.840
Which is, you know, again, impressive for a Republican in Maryland.
00:56:33.460
Which is now that is not the highest approval rating.
00:56:37.000
The most popular governors in America are one, all Republicans and two, all in deep blue states.
00:56:55.860
Look, there's an argument to be made right for there's a I'm not saying that I would support
00:57:01.700
this argument, but there's a political argument to be made that Larry Hogan is a candidate that
00:57:10.500
And if you have conservatives who are faced with a choice between Larry Hogan and Joe Biden,
00:57:16.020
the overwhelming majority of them are going to go with Hogan because they're going to
00:57:18.780
For the love of heaven, please don't present me with that choice.
00:57:23.600
And because we have a primary system in this country, there's no path for Larry Hogan.
00:57:31.440
I mean, his best opportunity would be as a real contrast to someone like Donald Trump.
00:57:36.000
He sees, though, that Ron DeSantis might be his competition.
00:57:38.760
So he's going to try to attack him early and get out ahead of that.
00:57:47.320
Number two, Charlie Baker, Republican Massachusetts, 72 percent.
00:57:51.800
Number one, have you even, do you have any guesses?
00:57:56.900
And I gave you an opening here, but I don't think I would have ever guessed.
00:58:04.480
It's a state that also really loves Bernie Sanders quite a bit.
00:58:47.440
A Republican in Vermont has an 88 percent approval rating among Democrats.
00:58:57.100
But this is the whole, let me give you the, this is amazing.
00:59:09.320
Whether it's about going on your daily tasks or exercising, you know you're well when you're
00:59:16.120
But what happens when being active actually hurts by the end of the day?
00:59:19.920
This is the position I found myself in a number of years ago.
00:59:22.820
Everything I wanted to do in my daily life, all of the activity it called for was held
00:59:31.240
When I heard about Relief Factor, I was skeptical, but my wife said, give it a chance.
00:59:35.460
Not long after I took it, I could feel the pain begin to melt away, and I've been taking
00:59:41.180
And I can tell you that Relief Factor has helped me get my life back.
00:59:44.700
I love that it's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and about 70% of the people who
00:59:50.900
Your first step to becoming pain-free just might be ordering a three-week quick start
00:59:57.500
Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF, 800-4-RELIEF, or relieffactor.com.
01:00:04.620
Find out all about this offer and feel the difference.
01:00:14.700
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:00:23.560
You know, when you go to a governor's approval rating like Phil Scott in Vermont, and you
01:00:28.880
see that Republicans and independents have a 75% approval rating of the guy, the rank-and-file
01:00:38.940
Republicans must not be like Republicans in Texas, right?
01:00:42.500
The Republicans in Vermont don't expect the same things out of their governor as Republicans
01:00:50.440
When you have Bernie Sanders, who's like a 90% approval rating in Vermont.
01:00:55.000
And when 88% of Democrats approve of a Republican, yeah, something's wrong there.
01:01:02.100
Highest approval rating for governors across the country.
01:01:09.080
Number two, Republican Charlie Baker, Massachusetts, 72%.
01:01:12.480
Number three, Larry Hogan, Republican Maryland, 70%.
01:01:16.160
Number four, Republican Chris Sununu, New Hampshire, 67%.
01:01:20.900
Number five, Mark Gordon, Republican Wyoming, 66%.
01:01:26.200
Now there's a real Republican state though, right?
01:01:31.420
Number seven, Jim Justice, Republican West Virginia, 65%.
01:01:36.900
We finally get to our first Democrat, Ned Lamont, Democrat Connecticut, 64%, which shows
01:01:50.420
Then Lieberman ran as an independent and beat him for the Senate back in the day.
01:01:54.600
That was, I can't remember what year that was now.
01:01:58.020
Lamont has now come back, become the governor and is at 64%.
01:02:00.200
Then you got Kay Ivey, Republican Alabama, 62%.
01:02:17.480
And then Dan McKee, Democrat from Rhode Island, 59%.
01:02:22.000
So, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
01:02:39.260
That's partly because of mandates that weren't taken off in time for a lot of people's liking.
01:02:50.300
He obviously gets lots of praise from conservative media and he is popular.
01:02:54.840
He's going, I mean, he's the heavy, heavy favorite to win in Florida re-election this year.
01:03:02.720
So, he's in the bottom third as well as far as approval rating goes.
01:03:07.340
Now, that's, I think, partially a function of him becoming, his rise to national prominence
01:03:11.920
leads the average Democrat who would normally approve of him to have a more skeptical view
01:03:24.560
That affects a Democratic voter who would normally approve.
01:03:27.680
A guy like Phil Scott is not, in Vermont, the Republican voter or the Democratic voter
01:03:33.160
who normally, if Phil Scott was some big national figure, would probably oppose a Republican
01:03:39.740
just off of a party identification if he was in the news every day.
01:03:44.880
But instead, he's not in the news every day and he's, those people who think he's doing
01:03:50.940
They think, oh, all right, he's a Republican, but who cares?
01:03:53.400
You're able to kind of, the lower your national profile, the more you can kind of squeeze
01:03:58.700
And you notice the people towards the top are all like that.
01:04:01.460
I mean, you know, with the only real exception being Larry Hogan, who has a moderate profile
01:04:12.200
That's not going to help him if he runs for president, though.
01:04:42.400
It's really a no-brainer on why you should get CarShield.
01:04:45.340
Just like me with my trucks at the ranch, I sleep better at night knowing I'm covered

Pat Gray, Stu Bergeer for Glenn on The Glenn Beck Program.
01:06:28.360
Stu, have you tried, uh, the Kexi Cookies spring line yet?
01:06:34.500
Have I not brought that in with the, uh, the cherry almond?
01:06:41.620
Then there's a sugar lemon cookie with the lemon.
01:06:47.340
It's weird because, you know, my wife has been making the chocolate chip cookies forever.
01:06:51.640
And, and so when she started doing this, I thought there's no way I'll ever like anything
01:07:01.800
And I thought, okay, that's, that's my favorite cookie of all time.
01:07:05.020
And then she did the hot, the hot chocolate cookie.
01:07:08.940
And that, then that was my favorite of all time.
01:07:12.520
And now I think it's the sugar lemon cookie, which is now my new favorite cookie of all
01:07:21.460
I'm a sucker for mint chocolate chip, but that's a really good one.
01:07:24.040
But if you want to get the best cookie on earth, kexi.com.
01:07:31.820
Now we were talking a little bit about, uh, Disney earlier and, uh, and we didn't get
01:07:38.040
to, uh, Disney's hypocrisy, which is, uh, fascinating to me because they're fighting
01:07:45.980
This don't say gay bill, uh, while they're trying to expand their operations in at least
01:08:03.340
How can you be that self-unaware of, as a company that, okay, we're going to fight as
01:08:09.700
hard as we can against, uh, this particular bill, but in countries where they actually
01:08:17.060
have the death penalty for homosexual activity, we're going to expand into, uh, we're going
01:08:23.160
to make sure Disney plus gets deep, deeper embedded into those countries.
01:08:30.980
Uh, and the employees don't seem to have any problem with that.
01:08:40.980
Why didn't they do a big, uh, employee walkout over that?
01:08:44.740
It's really, is it possible you are allowed to say gay in Yemen, but you can't be gay?
01:08:53.680
They just want the word to be able to be spoken and they don't realize that the bill does nothing
01:08:59.800
It does not prevent you from saying the word gay.
01:09:02.140
It's interesting to see these people walking around just chanting gay.
01:09:05.940
Somebody put up a, uh, a billboard that's just said gay a bunch of times.
01:09:15.860
And I think they know this, but it, it is embarrassing to see the media embrace that
01:09:24.080
And it's even worse that Disney is trying to pull this while going into these countries
01:09:30.180
where gays can be executed just for admitting they're gay.
01:09:36.500
Uh, so it's Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Yemen,
01:09:47.980
Now in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, you can get the death penalty for being gay.
01:09:55.940
But like you said, Stu, I think you can say the word gay.
01:10:03.800
And I will say, Pat, you did mention, I think by mistake that you, there were 10 countries
01:10:07.860
they were expanding into, um, it's nine Palestine's not a country just to, but just to point that
01:10:13.540
out, you did point out the region of Palestine, which is, uh, it's true.
01:10:21.800
Um, it's fascinating to see this happen because there is that we, this has always been part
01:10:29.540
They've always wanted to ignore what particularly Muslim countries do in these cases when it
01:10:39.040
comes to abortion or when it comes to, um, when it comes to gay rights, when it comes
01:10:45.800
What do you think the trans rights look like in Saudi Arabia?
01:10:51.660
When you're, you're in Oman and you come out and you, and you go to the, uh, the Oman
01:10:56.360
national swim team and you say, Hey, I'm going to, I'm going to swim as a chick today.
01:11:04.120
That's probably why they at least let you say it.
01:11:06.860
And we know that, um, like why there's no consistency here.
01:11:15.860
This is just Disney thinking that it's U S employees and a good chunk of their, uh, audience
01:11:24.620
in the U S and investors in the U S want them to say these things, you know, so they're saying
01:11:30.500
And it's in this particular case, it's the employees here in America.
01:11:33.960
Now the employees here in America, many of them, by the way, not all of them, as we're
01:11:38.840
seeing, and the reason why we know about all this stuff going on at Disney is because
01:11:41.840
there's a lot of people who think this is insane that work at Disney.
01:11:45.720
So there are a lot of people who are looking at this and saying, you know, I came to Disney
01:11:49.320
to entertain children, not to indoctrinate them.
01:11:52.300
So they are leaking this stuff to people like Chris Ruffo, who has been reporting on
01:11:56.360
it, but those employees who are very vocal have come out and they have basically said
01:12:02.700
they're going to leave and the company's going to shut down if they don't address these
01:12:08.380
And this is a terrible way to run your company.
01:12:10.940
You know, Coinbase is the one who has this right.
01:12:14.700
Coinbase has come out and they said, look, we are a cryptocurrency company.
01:12:19.200
When issues pop up in the public debate that deal with cryptocurrency, we may comment on
01:12:33.020
They're not going to support her effort to swim against women?
01:12:37.260
They are not going to get involved in that issue.
01:12:39.520
And they're going to say to their employees, hey, guys, you want to go home and spend your
01:12:44.800
evenings protesting Leah Thomas or supporting Leah Thomas?
01:13:03.320
I mean, they sort of stood behind him, but then kind of hedged a little bit.
01:13:12.980
I still think there's a good chance Spotify overturns all that.
01:13:21.420
And people are like, you know, today we have this news that Elon Musk, who has 9.2% of
01:13:28.640
And can you believe that's the biggest share of any individual holder?
01:13:33.260
Now, that's what he had when he filed this disclosure.
01:13:41.900
But he is, as the news today, this morning breaking, is that he is going to be appointed
01:13:47.200
to the board of directors of Twitter, which is interesting.
01:13:50.660
And I think a really good influence on Twitter.
01:13:56.700
I don't agree with him on a lot of stuff, but he believes in free speech.
01:14:00.820
But the other thing is they act as if this is so complicated.
01:14:03.980
How do you deal with this if you're a social media company?
01:14:12.000
It's like, you know what you should do is be Substack.
01:14:17.200
They are a company that deals with all sorts of controversial issues.
01:14:22.380
Hey, in fact, theirs is a little bit even more aggressive than Coinbase.
01:14:25.400
Coinbase is just saying, don't bring your outside stuff to work.
01:14:31.580
Substack is saying, hey, people have all different views.
01:14:39.740
We're not going to tell you what you can and can't write.
01:14:49.460
They're not, you know, people who have been skeptical of some of the COVID treatments,
01:14:54.620
people who have all sorts of different views, they found a home at Substack.
01:14:59.220
Along with people like Barry Weiss, a mainstream New York Times journalist who thought the New
01:15:05.960
She's over at Substack and she's doing her stuff there.
01:15:08.820
Tons of, you know, people from, all these people that were, you know, from Andrew Sullivan
01:15:13.920
to Matt Taibbi to Barry Weiss have all gone over there and said, hey, we can find a place
01:15:20.820
where we can do what we want and we can get our voice out there without being censored
01:15:25.780
by editors at the New York Times that have a place, you know, a way they want to go.
01:15:30.540
Also, not be censored by social media companies who might think my views are out of step with
01:15:36.560
Let people decide for themselves and here's a company, Substack, that's already doing it.
01:15:42.080
You know, you don't need every company to be the blaze.
01:15:44.000
I think it's great that there's companies like the blaze out there that have a conservative
01:15:47.080
viewpoint and bring that to you because we certainly need that out there.
01:15:51.500
I don't care that there's companies that are left-wing that are doing the same thing.
01:15:55.360
Those are great, but you also need companies that are just like, I'll give you everything.
01:16:00.220
I don't need every company I deal with to be outwardly conservative.
01:16:07.620
And that's kind of what the conservative employees at Disney were saying.
01:16:14.060
Do you have to take a stand on every political issue?
01:16:20.260
It seems like this is a fairly new thing where employees, where the inmates are starting to
01:16:29.540
Coke, Disney, many companies have just kind of turned it over to the employees and said,
01:16:35.620
I've always thought, Pat, that if I get a job somewhere, my job is to work for the company,
01:16:50.340
And you go in there and you do the best job for the company and in return for that, they
01:16:54.740
pay you so that you can go and pay your bills and make sure your kids have food on the table
01:17:00.140
and make sure you have health insurance and make sure that you can go through life and
01:17:04.740
maybe a little extra cash to take them on vacation or buy a nice Christmas presents or
01:17:12.320
Like their work is supposed to be a part of your life.
01:17:16.700
You don't need your company to address every political issue you might care about.
01:17:21.980
I mean, conservatives will go crazy in this stance.
01:17:25.060
And we were talking about the don't say gay bill with teachers, Pat.
01:17:31.400
What the left is asking for and what they have, by the way, even in Florida, is a situation
01:17:36.980
where you can come in and say, hey, you know, Mrs. Smith, what did you do this weekend?
01:17:42.460
Oh, well, I was out with my wife and we went kayaking.
01:17:49.360
This particular lesbian couple, just huge kayakers.
01:17:58.140
I've heard they're thinking about adding a K because there's so many kayakers.
01:18:04.620
So Mrs. Smith and her partner went kayaking and they want to be able to say, hey, we
01:18:12.880
Now, is this a life partner or just a transitional partner?
01:18:18.140
That's just somebody that, you know, is taking up space with you in between getting...
01:18:23.580
Finding somebody who just dumped you and your life partner.
01:18:44.640
They came to the side of the river and then they had a nice picnic and then they built
01:18:50.980
And I don't know if it's going to last, to be honest with you.
01:18:53.900
Mrs. Smith seems to have eyes for some other woman that she met on Tinder or wherever else
01:19:03.240
If we were talking about Mr. Smith, I could make a grinder joke, but I don't know.
01:19:09.580
So, they have this wonderful thing going on and she wants to be able to tell this story.
01:19:17.940
We go to the side and my lovely partner is there.
01:19:25.860
And even in Florida, two second graders, they still can.
01:19:32.600
So, that's how influential the Don't Say Gay Bill is.
01:19:35.980
However, if that same teacher, let's say Mrs. Jones, were to say, hey, I was kayaking down
01:19:55.880
And then, you know what we did with our weekend this weekend after kayaking?
01:20:04.300
That person cannot tell the story of their weekend.
01:20:13.720
So, these Christian teachers who have been spending their entire lives avoiding talking
01:20:20.460
about the things most important to them in school because you've told them they're not
01:20:25.160
Those people can't tell the stories, but we have to make sure that gay people can tell
01:20:29.060
all their stories about all their kayaking trips.
01:20:41.560
Our country is facing a very significant slowdown as we move closer to risk of recession.

01:24:45.140
Sometimes, the people that we send out to defend freedom, they don't come back.
01:24:55.960
And sometimes, when they do, they come back forever different from the person they were
01:25:00.300
As patriotic Americans, it is not merely our privilege to enjoy freedom.
01:25:04.420
It is our duty to uphold those who fight for it.
01:25:07.420
Since 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and their
01:25:12.720
When a first responder or military service member doesn't come home and young children
01:25:16.680
are left behind, Tunnels to Towers pays off their mortgage to lift the financial burden
01:25:24.660
For catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, Tunnels to Towers builds mortgage-free
01:25:29.380
smart homes, enabling severely injured heroes to live more independent lives.
01:25:34.080
And now, through Operation Homebase, Tunnels to Towers is gifting tiny homes to homeless
01:25:40.420
Our nation's heroes, people who put their lives on the line for our country and our communities,
01:25:47.380
Join Tunnels to Towers on its mission to do good in their honor.
01:26:04.080
So, Joe Biden's approval rating, not getting any better.
01:26:10.000
In fact, his approval rating, the combined real clear politics average, now shows him
01:26:20.960
Especially at this point of his presidency, for the average of all the polls that real
01:26:44.440
So, while Biden tries to pin all of his problems on Putin, or the pandemic, or Donald Trump,
01:26:54.460
I don't think the American people are buying it.
01:26:56.920
And there are a bunch of Democrat strategists who spoke to the Hill, because we're only seven
01:27:08.320
And some of them are, well, all of them are really concerned that the Democrats are going
01:27:13.380
One of them said, we're going to be slaughtered in November.
01:27:18.580
That's quite an admission from a Democratic strategist.
01:27:25.760
I mean, this is what's going on behind the scenes.
01:27:31.620
I keep saying, you cannot overestimate the chances that the Republicans will blow this
01:27:41.720
It should be the easiest win in the history of elections.
01:27:54.200
I could really see a situation where they maybe win the House and then blow the Senate somehow.
01:27:59.960
And that would be a big one because of potential Supreme Court nominees and such.
01:28:05.720
It would still allow them to block a lot of the stuff in the House, but the Supreme Court
01:28:12.600
We're going to go through an election preview of sorts for the first time this week, I think,
01:28:16.980
on Studios America, because I kind of set the stage as to where we are, what it looks
01:28:24.340
What do you think the reasoning is for why they believe it's going to be an electoral
01:28:43.740
As one of the strategists put it, he's the one who's unnamed.
01:28:50.600
You have an energy crisis that's paralyzing and inflation is in a 40-year high and we're
01:29:02.660
The American people have lost confidence in Joe Biden.
01:29:05.980
Everyone needs to come to terms with the reality that we're going to get slaughtered in November.
01:29:11.520
In fact, Biden's polling has gotten worse, not better.
01:29:14.240
It's indicative of the fact that people have lost confidence in his leadership.
01:29:18.280
There's nothing they're going to be able to do.
01:29:24.320
I think part of it, too, is these are issues that, one, smack you in the face.
01:29:36.640
He's been trying to blame it on everybody under the sun except him.
01:29:42.680
You can't say, hey, those gas prices are somebody else's fault.
01:30:03.400
And people in California now are like, oh, man, what I would do to pay only $90 to fill up my tank right now.
01:30:17.780
And it's hard to deny when, number one, the prices were going up before Putin.
01:30:22.660
Number two, you have a role in the Putin situation.
01:30:25.960
I mean, like, your actions taken beforehand did not help.
01:30:33.860
Your statement that a minor incursion might not be a big deal did not help.
01:30:40.720
You got all, you're bragging about all your intelligence, and you were right on them invading.
01:30:48.280
What you chose to do didn't do anything that was positive.
01:30:51.400
And you couldn't keep that straight with the rest of your administration either, because everybody else was calling it a deterrent.
01:30:57.400
And then he's saying it was absolutely, nobody thought it was a deterrent.
01:31:04.780
So people see these prices go up, and they see the answer to this, which is, I don't know, go buy a $70,000 electric car or something.
01:31:12.080
Now, I recently, as I mentioned, Pat, I have, there's been some supply chain issues.
01:31:21.440
I ordered a car now seven months ago plus, and still do not have.
01:31:28.560
And I'm a couple weeks away from my eight month anniversary.
01:31:32.700
And I actually just, I actually did get contacted by the dealership recently.
01:31:36.020
And they said, hey, what if we order your car without a bunch of the features you wanted?
01:31:43.700
And I was like, honestly, at this point, maybe put it in without some of the features and let's see what happens.
01:31:50.780
And at least I'd have something to, as an interim situation.
01:31:56.380
But I was looking around at a bunch of different things.
01:31:58.140
And I was looking at one, you know, and I've talked about this before.
01:32:06.520
As we talked about, a lot of people, especially on the conservative side these days, seem to like Elon Musk quite a bit, which is an interesting transition.
01:32:12.480
What's happened to his, he was the darling of the left for a zillion years.
01:32:22.000
Well, he's so into climate change, he's trying to find us a whole nother planet.
01:32:27.400
He's building spaceships to escape climate change.
01:32:32.340
Anyway, so he builds Teslas, which are really great cars.
01:32:38.840
And some of these other cars are really fast as well.
01:32:42.000
And the, first of all, if you want to have a rational relationship with this car, you have to put in an industrial electrical outlet.
01:32:53.820
You know, like the, or like the one you have for your washer and dryer.
01:32:56.620
You need another one of those to even have a chance to make this sensible.
01:33:10.020
If you plug it in your normal outlet, it takes three days.
01:33:18.460
Three in the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
01:33:26.420
But, again, I don't live within a half an hour of any of these things.
01:33:31.840
So, if you were driving to, let's say, Austin, you might stop on your way and you can fill up, I think, about 20 to 30 minutes for a full charge.
01:33:40.400
I mean, again, you know, you stop at a gas station, it's going to be five minutes, but you probably walk in.
01:33:46.880
You can live with 20 to 30 minutes as long as that's constantly improving.
01:33:50.860
I mean, you don't want it to get any longer than that.
01:33:54.900
That's completely unacceptable to me, at least.
01:33:57.240
Yeah, and if you plug, let's just say, you plug it in, if you plugged it in in your outlet at home, and you, when you got home at, you know, 7 o'clock at night, and you took it out at 7 o'clock in the morning when you leave for work, and it could charge all the way up, you might say, I can deal with that for most of the time, right?
01:34:13.140
But, not only are you paying $70,000 for an electric car, I think the average is $55,000.
01:34:18.280
There are some, like, the Nissan Leaf is cheaper than that.
01:34:21.420
Obviously, a lot of the Teslas are more, the Porsche Taycan's a lot more, but you can go and you can find a car that is pretty, you know, that'll cost a lot of money with these things.
01:34:30.840
But, even if you get a Nissan Leaf, if you want it to be rational to be able to charge it, you have to spend a couple thousand dollars putting in a faster charger in your garage.
01:34:40.800
So, how, just the extra charger you put in your garage is going to wipe out the increased gas prices over an entire year, at least.
01:34:52.040
And what people see is, wait a minute, my gas prices have been going up, my electricity prices are going up, and the only thing I ever hear from these guys is not, let's expand production, let's not make it, you know, let's not get off of Russian oil, and Iranian oil, and Saudi Arabian oil.
01:35:07.000
Let's just all go green and spend three times as much on electricity and on the vehicle itself.
01:35:14.720
Well, what, this is not, no one, this is a now problem.
01:35:22.780
And people are getting killed right now on this, and you can't spin your way out of it.
01:35:26.120
And I think all this also applies to things like the gender stuff, the CRT stuff, the, you know, the trying to talk about sex with your second graders at school.
01:35:41.960
Let me make you an argument as to why lowering the minimum wage would make sense economically.
01:35:48.880
Conservatives a lot of times get bogged down in that type of argument, which is, I think, really important, but also difficult to win over voters easily.
01:35:58.220
You know, the minimum wage is a very popular issue because the emotion behind it is, of course, people who are hardworking, everyday people trying to make their way, working at a role that might not be paying it a lot.
01:36:15.460
But the economic argument is much more complicated and winds up affecting the economy in a bunch of different ways, which is why the conservative position is correct.
01:36:24.180
But with Leah Thomas, there's no need to argue those things.
01:36:30.880
If you don't freaking know what a woman is, why are we even talking to you?
01:36:34.760
And that is not what just conservatives are saying right now.
01:36:38.160
I think a lot of moderate voters, I think even some Democratic voters, are saying, wait a minute.
01:36:46.760
I don't want people to be discriminated against.
01:36:55.800
I think moderate Democratic voters, people who are, you know, we talked about Larry Hogan earlier.
01:37:01.300
The Larry Hogan Republicans, who might not consider normally a guy who's really conservative, are saying, wait a minute.
01:37:11.340
We can't say that a guy standing there in a woman's bathing suit with his junk hanging out is a good female swimmer.
01:37:24.120
And when do we start throwing women under the bus?
01:37:27.140
When is it okay that you don't consider their feelings or their skill set or the fact that they've been working on this their entire lives to get to where they are in swimming or skiing or we've also got the bicycling thing that's been up lately.
01:37:46.380
I mean, Title IX, when it was passed in, what, 72, it changed college sports forever.
01:37:54.540
However, there were a lot of men's sports that were eliminated so that you could accommodate women in colleges.
01:38:03.620
And so things like soccer went out the window, lacrosse and hockey and a bunch of sports that men played at these universities went right out the window.
01:38:13.280
And now we're throwing the women out the window so that you've got 0.7% of the population that can compete against them.
01:38:24.260
It doesn't make any sense to a lot of people, to most people, I hope.
01:38:28.540
I hope we're still at the point where common sense prevails on this.
01:38:32.360
And you know that there are biological differences between men and women.
01:38:37.540
And if you've got a biological man claiming to be a woman, he shouldn't be competing against biological women.
01:38:45.060
Hopefully, we're smart enough still as a society to understand that.
01:39:21.660
If you need a repair, you can choose the mechanic and CarShield's administrators handle all of it.
01:39:28.400
CarShield includes coast-to-coast, roadside assistance, rental car options, and trip reimbursement at no extra cost.
01:39:37.180
And they'll lock in your price now and it will never go up.
01:40:38.200
He'll say he was doing something with his family or whatever.
01:40:43.500
And you can hold him to that by tweeting about it often.
01:40:47.340
Don't listen to his nonsense about why he wasn't here today.
01:40:49.880
Well, I mean, is it a coincidence that all of a sudden Hunter Biden's also an artist?
01:40:54.160
Glenn Beck and Hunter Biden, yeah, the twin artists of the world, all of a sudden they're
01:40:59.760
both paint, quote unquote, painting all the time.
01:41:02.900
And I don't know if you've noticed that it's a pretty corrupt business, Pat, where you can
01:41:07.560
just demand hundreds of thousands of dollars for some painting from a guy who, you know,
01:41:13.120
has no experience like Hunter Biden, no talent like Hunter Biden.
01:41:17.460
And, you know, some of Glenn's paintings are pretty cool, I have to admit, but that's probably
01:41:22.580
So, anyway, you can catch Glenn on tomorrow's program, and he's back for a new show on Glenn
01:41:28.840

01:41:57.180
Have you seen Nostradamus' predictions for this year and next?
01:42:06.940
But I think, you know, he's made so many that it takes people a while to get to these.
01:42:12.980
The Ukrainian conflict could be set to bring about a terrifying great war next year, if
01:42:19.820
predictions from Nostradamus are to be believed.
01:42:23.840
So, wait, he predicted the Ukrainian war, or we're just saying-
01:42:26.880
No, he's predicting a great war next year that maybe is brought on by this war, which
01:42:47.420
And he's been credited with predicting the rise of Hitler, which is nonsense, because he
01:43:06.380
If it was Hissler, people would have been like, oh, don't vote that guy into office.
01:43:11.160
And then they saw Hitler, like, oh, we're safe.
01:43:25.660
By the way, I'm going to go ahead on a limb and doubt that any of that is true.
01:43:40.220
But he's going to say, the planes are going to be hijacked by Muslims that are going to,
01:43:49.620
This might be fun sometimes, is to see the actual quatrain that supposedly predicted the
01:43:57.220
But he also apparently predicted a host of terrifying eventualities, including an asteroid
01:44:03.020
strike for this year, inflation, tell me that's not accurate, and starvation, in addition
01:44:14.400
And so, all that we have to look forward to, I guess, this year.
01:44:25.640
A new great war has been touted for that, for next year.
01:44:29.780
This could be seen to allude to a larger World War III conflict stemming from the troubles
01:44:42.940
But that's what I love about all of his quatrains, all of his predictions.
01:44:50.260
I've tracked down the truth about the 9-11 prediction here, as you've been talking.
01:44:58.240
We'll take you through that here in just a second.
01:45:11.240
When looking back at the world of cyber safety in 2021, you look back and you see a big year
01:45:17.060
for data breaches from the LinkedIn public information scrape of more than 700 million users, none
01:45:23.500
of which mine because I refuse to get a LinkedIn account, that 200 million of its records stolen
01:45:31.260
by cyber criminals in the strip chat webcam hack, which, of course, I do have a subscription
01:45:40.060
The importance of identity theft protection has never been clearer.
01:45:46.600
Well, that's not what this commercial is about.
01:45:47.920
It's about protecting yourself online, and it's important to understand how cyber crime
