Transcript
00:00:00.000
Well, we're back for another week of the program.
00:00:03.300
It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn today, who's on vacation this week, but returns next week.
00:00:09.340
You've heard us talking also a lot about the Jace case from Jace Medical.
00:00:12.920
Jace case holds five of the most important antibiotics for emergency use that you can find.
00:00:18.220
Well, I'm happy to announce that they're launching a new product, Jace Daily.
00:00:21.740
It's a prescription supply service that allows you to get up to 12 months of backup supply of your prescription medication in case of emergency.
00:00:30.320
This will cover a whole bunch of medications, you know, cholesterol, diabetes, heart health, blood pressure, mental health, and more.
00:00:35.800
You know, these medicines you're taking, you know, maybe every day for a chronic condition.
00:00:41.700
Really, you know, you have a supply chain disruption.
00:00:44.780
That stuff is going to be gone, and you don't have any way to get it because it's all made overseas.
00:00:50.580
It's really important for you to be prepared, and you can be prepared with a 12-month backup supply of the prescription medication you need at jacemedical.com.
00:01:02.060
Enter the code BECK at checkout for a discount on your order.
00:01:04.460
The promo code is BECK at jacemedical.com, jacemedical.com.
00:01:10.500
All right, we start the radio program here in just seconds.
00:01:39.760
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:57.560
I think you'll be proud to be an American when we share what happened over the weekend.
00:02:11.760
Well, it's Pride Month, and so it's appropriate.
00:02:16.420
And we'll share some of that, some of the events that will have you bursting with that pride.
00:02:28.260
Do you think it's strange how the left seems to hate history and how it's always wanting to rewrite it?
00:02:34.240
If you cancel the founding fathers and their ideas, you can cancel our form of government, the American experiment.
00:02:44.320
Well, if you want to give kids a chance to resist the bad ideas we're talking about here,
00:02:48.240
then you need to, of course, learn the stories.
00:02:50.380
They need to understand the ideas behind the great American experiment.
00:02:54.060
Once they learn those, they'll know what our country is about, and they'll be prepared to defend it.
00:02:58.680
The Tuttle Twins' new history books use storytelling to teach the powerful ideas and stories behind America's founding.
00:03:04.200
They're beautifully illustrated, and they're books that your kids are going to love.
00:03:07.820
My kids love them, and they love to read them all the time.
00:03:13.480
Order the book, and you'll get entry info and official rules for a new vacation giveaway they're doing right now.
00:03:19.180
To see historical sites around Boston, you're going to love this idea as well.

00:03:34.200
Here's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:42.980
Over the weekend, there was a bunch of pride events, and the White House was celebrating and couldn't have been prouder, I guess.
00:03:52.680
In fact, on the White House was displayed the pride flag prominently, if we could show that.
00:04:18.180
The code says, now it does say on a staff that the U.S. flag has to be in the middle and higher than the flags on either side.
00:04:30.580
Than the state flags or the locality flags or whatever organization flag you have.
00:04:39.520
But I'm sure they'll just say, well, that's not on a staff.
00:04:46.840
And I guess you called it good because you got the pride flag in the middle.
00:04:56.140
Sometimes I think they're just intentionally gaslighting.
00:05:02.120
Of course they realize that half the country is going to be angered at the idea that you put the pride flag in the middle.
00:05:10.160
And then the American flag on the sides as if it's a little sideshow.
00:05:15.560
And when you complain about it, they'll call you a hater.
00:05:18.420
And a xenophobe and a hobophobe and a transphobe.
00:05:22.020
Because you see it and, of course, you're annoyed by it.
00:05:24.960
But then, in addition, like, I don't want to give them the satisfaction of the reaction that they want.
00:05:29.980
Which is, they clearly are trying to get people to get angry about this.
00:05:35.040
It's blatantly obvious what they're doing here.
00:05:40.240
I mean, I just hate to give them what they want.
00:05:47.620
I mean, look, you can obviously do the things they say they want to do, right?
00:05:53.020
The things they say they want to do is to give equal rights to people, which every conservative agrees with.
00:05:59.780
Everyone deserves equal, not equity rights, but equal rights.
00:06:12.260
You can treat people with all the things they say that they actually want to treat people with without being this completely ridiculous.
00:06:21.820
You do not need to be, you do not need to displace the American flag to do it.
00:06:28.040
Although, I don't know, the way they act, maybe you do.
00:06:30.400
You do, maybe you do have to upend every foundation of this country to attempt to accomplish what they're doing.
00:06:36.160
And that shows you what they're doing is maybe not central to what the formation of the country was designed to do.
00:06:46.060
And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.
00:06:49.520
We're going to have to change our conversation.
00:06:52.380
We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.
00:06:55.480
We're going to have to move into a different place.
00:06:58.160
Man, if they haven't accomplished that, I don't know what has been accomplished at any time, anywhere, because that is done.
00:07:05.500
That's such a great point, because we were all called, you know, fear mongers and conspiracy theorists.
00:07:15.280
But that is exactly what they were trying to do and exactly what they've accomplished.
00:07:22.420
I think faster and more stunningly than anybody could have ever foreseen.
00:07:28.180
I mean, as you're watching the Ben Franklin statue come down in the town square to tell me they didn't try to actually do this.
00:07:36.240
I mean, even people who were hardcore abolitionists had their statues torn down.
00:07:45.940
You know, the guy was kind of known for his anti-slavery stances.
00:07:50.640
You know, that was a notable part of his backstory.
00:07:57.000
Although, when you talk Abraham Lincoln, the first thing they'll jump on is, I wasn't about slavery.
00:08:09.600
He wanted to save the Union, which, you know, drag him outside and beat him with clubs for that.
00:08:21.680
But he had a big conversion during his presidency, huge, that he was so committed to ending slavery
00:08:30.180
that despite all of his cabinet, all of his advisors, everybody telling him, don't do the Emancipation Proclamation.
00:08:40.420
Let's just win the war first, and then we'll worry about it.
00:08:45.760
He was so committed to it that he went against everybody and went ahead and freed the slaves.
00:08:55.760
Plus, he made many speeches before, during, and around his presidency where he was anti-slavery.
00:09:07.680
He was anti-slavery, I believe, his whole life, just more so at one point in his life during his presidency than any other time.
00:09:15.980
But this president, real quick on this one, they will overlook all sorts of terrible things, legitimate genocides they will overlook to praise their own left-wing characters in history.
00:09:30.640
They'll justify Mao, they'll justify Pol Pot, they'll justify Stalin.
00:09:36.700
They'll justify almost anyone when they, I mean, go to Margaret Sanger.
00:09:43.740
They'll justify anything that woman did to praise her for letting women abort their children.
00:09:50.180
Like, they don't, they never care about this nuance when it's on their side.
00:09:54.460
When it's talking about someone who, you know, fought the Civil War and saved, you know, freed the slaves, all of a sudden they're all this nuanced historian.
00:10:06.320
You know, and that's the central, the central thing they're doing here.
00:10:09.540
And like, you know, you watch this this weekend.
00:10:18.180
They're ashamed of the nation if there's any shame that's involved.
00:10:23.700
And you get that tone exactly out of the Michelle Obama stuff there.
00:10:28.460
We have to change this stuff because we should be ashamed of our history.
00:10:31.800
Instead of just saying, hey, this has been an overwhelmingly positive thing we've done here.
00:10:35.460
There's been some sidesteps, some missteps here and there.
00:10:42.840
You know, for example, like I think one of the things that we absolutely should acknowledge is we should not make decisions based on skin color.
00:10:49.220
That's never been a good outcome for any society, which is why I oppose them doing it now.
00:10:54.840
This is why, like, I find it there to be a problem with their entire philosophy, which is now make decisions based on skin color.
00:11:07.600
It works out awfully every single time it's attempted.
00:11:10.540
Well, what if we make decisions based on somebody's sexual preference?
00:11:18.100
Don't make decisions based on their sexual preference.
00:11:20.280
That's, I don't know, a pretty baseline thing that I really did at one point think we at least said we believed in.
00:11:29.660
I don't know that everyone hit that standard, but it's hard to hit that standard for many.
00:11:34.180
But, like, we'd all say we wanted it like the utopia was colorblind.
00:11:45.300
And, again, that's all pretty much since Barack Obama, I would argue.
00:11:50.920
Yes, those, you know, critical race theory certainly precedes Barack Obama.
00:11:55.320
But that idea of being mainstreamed does seem like that all came along since Barack and Michelle decided they wanted to change our traditions and our history.
00:12:06.980
So, and Biden, but Biden is really finishing the job, I think.
00:12:11.660
He had a nice speech over the weekend where he talked about gay marriage.
00:12:21.060
As commander in chief, I was proud to have ended the ban on transgender Americans.
00:12:25.760
Transgender Americans serving in the United States military.
00:12:29.920
I didn't, those were, none of those were English words.
00:12:32.320
Transgender Americans, I mean, that was just a big, he took a bunch of letters and threw them in a blender is what that was.
00:12:39.020
I guess, think of how, he misses, mispronounces six of eight words there.
00:12:47.360
Because he definitely calls transgender transgester.
00:12:54.920
As commander in chief, I was proud to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving in the United States military.
00:13:02.320
Americans, those transgesters, he ended the ban on them.
00:13:06.680
He legitimately just butchers seven or eight syllables in a row.
00:13:27.680
You know, Pat, I don't want to, look, I hesitate to say this because I know we're on national radio right now, but I support a transgester ban.
00:13:38.260
I don't think we should ever come up with what a transgester is.
00:13:41.580
If society tries to create something that fits that trans, I mean, what is that?
00:13:46.460
Someone who has transitioned into being a court jester?
00:13:52.360
Or are you transitioning away from being a court jester?
00:13:58.660
I think if you're a court jester, you should remain a court jester.
00:14:01.460
And if you're a normal, average citizen, you should not be able to become a court jester.
00:14:22.160
Now it's, they came up with this other thing that, and this is even better, I got to say, from the campaign.
00:14:29.100
And, of course, the White House, they'll just run whatever, whatever, whatever the White House says, they'll just run it in, like, the New York Times, as if it's true.
00:14:37.480
Their new one is, we know whenever you see him, he does this.
00:14:41.500
We know whenever you see him, he bumbles over every word.
00:14:47.040
But what you don't understand is every time you can't see him, he's incredible.
00:15:05.900
People, Pat, are standing around the White House having conversations around the water cooler.
00:15:15.760
When there are cameras around, a complete and utter disgrace as a president that you've probably noticed.
00:15:22.140
But when you can't see him, he's basically like Stephen Hawking in his prime.
00:15:34.860
He never has to restate something because he called them transgesters.
00:15:48.220
We can't provide evidence of his perfection because it's behind closed doors, Pat.
00:15:53.180
That is what they should do is start recording all of the closed door meetings.
00:16:05.320
I thought we came up with a solution there to show his genius, but I guess not.
00:16:13.120
We'll get to what he had to say about marriage coming up in one minute.
00:16:18.300
Well, things are falling apart a little bit, if you haven't noticed.
00:16:21.440
And a lot of them, you know, look, even the best ideas can go down the tubes when things start to fall apart.
00:16:28.520
You need to be able to make investments into yourself, to your family, for when things can go awry.
00:16:34.020
And one of the most important things you can do is invest in food security.
00:16:37.460
That way, when the lines at the grocery store are around the block and there's not much to get inside anyway because the trucks aren't running,
00:16:43.200
well, you and your family will be sitting at home.
00:16:45.740
It's secure in the knowledge that you've got what you need to survive.
00:16:49.120
That's why I always talk about getting a three-month emergency food kit from MyPatriotSupply.
00:16:54.180
With each kit that you order, you're going to be saving $200 as well.
00:16:57.900
It's a great opportunity to get one for really every family member.
00:17:01.200
It includes breakfasts, lunches, dinners, drinks, and snacks that provide over 2,000 calories a day.
00:17:09.160
Plus, it lasts up to 25 years in storage, so you'll always have a backup.
00:17:14.220
Order your three-month emergency food kit today and save $200 per kit.
00:17:42.880
So, he had something else to say about the Pride weekend.
00:17:52.020
When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon,
00:18:03.840
When you're married in the morning and then you go to the restaurant,
00:18:06.700
for some reason you're going to a restaurant after your marriage.
00:18:09.580
And you had a morning marriage, which is odd, too.
00:18:11.200
And you had a morning marriage, which is weird.
00:18:12.800
And then in the afternoon, you've gone to Applebee's, Hardee's, whatever.
00:18:22.740
I mean, I would say this happens to 85% of gay people.
00:18:27.200
85% of gay people who go through marriages wind up getting thrown out of a restaurant later that day.
00:18:45.660
I would say, I mean, I'm just going to throw this out here.
00:18:51.260
You can't throw gay people out of restaurants because they're gay.
00:18:58.580
I would say, I don't know, let's say the last decade, there have been zero examples of what he's just talked about.
00:19:03.440
A morning marriage directly into getting thrown out of a restaurant because you're gay.
00:19:10.660
You know, it probably, I would say this, probably never happened in our nation's history.
00:19:16.540
And I would say, first of all, for a long time, you couldn't get married to someone of the same sex.
00:19:22.380
Since that's been allowed, we're only talking about basically a decade, a little bit longer,
00:19:28.380
And in that time, I would just be very surprised if like 7 a.m. they're taking nuptials.
00:19:33.440
And then 2 in the afternoon, you're like, get out.
00:19:41.440
Maybe if they went on a honeymoon to one of the hundred countries that banned gay marriage completely, maybe that's the problem.
00:19:49.160
Maybe they went to like Nigeria and they were like, get out of our restaurant.
00:20:01.060
But if it has happened, it's happened very infrequently, Pat.
00:20:04.460
First of all, people don't schedule morning weddings very often.
00:20:08.660
And then secondarily, especially one that would be followed by a lunch at a restaurant.
00:20:18.400
So your reception, you're having like a breakfast buffet in this scenario, I guess.
00:20:26.140
You're getting, you're getting, you get married at 7 a.m., goes to 8, at 8 a.m.
00:20:30.700
breakfast buffet for everyone who's in the wedding party and the guests.
00:20:41.100
Because that's how you work up the appetite for the afternoon meal where you go to the restaurant.
00:20:45.540
And at like 1230, you're at, you know, you're at Fuddruckers and they're throwing
00:20:52.900
This is really, whatever world he's talking about here is a terrible world.
00:20:58.940
We don't live in that world, but apparently he does.
00:21:08.400
I mean, it's really infuriating and they act as if like, it's like they act as if, you
00:21:15.200
know, I don't know, protesting Bud Light because you don't like their ad campaign or protesting
00:21:19.540
Target is like the equivalent of the Holocaust.
00:21:22.780
It's like, look, you're basically calling Christians and the things they believe on the
00:21:30.220
carpet and telling them that they're not allowed to believe them publicly anymore.
00:21:34.780
Like, and like, you might think that's the right thing to do.
00:21:38.620
I would disagree with that analysis, but like to act as if it's this, you know, cataclysmic,
00:21:48.660
There has never been a better time to be LGBTQQIA2 plus ever.
00:21:56.340
All we're doing is celebrating them, celebrating it and promoting it this whole month.
00:22:02.160
And then as we talked about on Friday, there's a, you know, a hundred other days during the
00:22:07.040
course of the year where you celebrate it again because it's some special LGBTQQIA2 plus
00:22:19.560
But there's still something wrong in America when you can get married in the morning, get
00:22:31.880
Maybe the manager of that restaurant just wants you to be on your honeymoon.
00:22:39.280
Don't you have a cruise to get to or something?
00:22:55.340
You know, I've been sitting in the studio with Glenn off and on for a lot of years.
00:23:06.120
And there's three things I know that he really loves.
00:23:17.580
And that's why he's so happy he ran into naturopathic doctor Dennis Black, founder and creator of
00:23:24.660
It's not a dog food, but a dog supplement that can bring your dog's food back to life.
00:23:32.160
And my dog won't eat her food without Rough Greens on it.
00:23:42.220
And Rough Greens brought Uno back to life, basically.

CNN still reporting the White House is completely silent on the Trump investigation.
00:24:37.840
Yeah, because they had nothing to do with this.
00:24:41.640
They're completely, completely devoid of any involvement.
00:24:46.160
Well, but that's not even enough because you and I have nothing to do with it, right?
00:24:52.480
They were completely unaware that it was even going on.
00:24:57.620
They found out the same way you and I did, Pat.
00:25:02.140
These things just come out by people that they've appointed.
00:25:05.420
And there's just so locked down that, you know, Merrick Garland doesn't know anything about it.
00:25:12.640
He certainly didn't tell anything to Joe Biden.
00:25:18.420
So, they just were, like, constantly taken by surprise that these things are going on that happen to completely align with all of the things they want to happen in the world.
00:25:27.540
Which is just, what a great, I mean, that's just great, you know?
00:25:32.340
They just, every time they need something to happen, the people they've hired make it happen.
00:25:41.260
Without a word being exchanged between the agencies.
00:25:45.080
It's just great that, you know, they are that ethical.
00:25:49.700
They don't, see, I think Joe Biden didn't even want to know about this.
00:25:54.580
That's, that's, that's how buttoned up all of this is.
00:25:57.640
Because he didn't want this to be any sort of political arrangement at all, some sort of political prosecution.
00:26:04.360
So, I'm sure that when he got wind, that any of this was even a possibility.
00:26:15.920
Don't even, don't even walk down the hall and tell me it's on the way.
00:26:20.880
I'll find out on the news, just like the rest of America.
00:26:24.520
It's really great that he has that sort of discipline, you know?
00:26:28.260
Because people might, might, and this would be wrong, of course, but people might think that
00:26:33.660
the ability for a president to try to destroy his lead opponent would be questionable, right?
00:26:42.060
Like, maybe they would think that's controversial.
00:26:43.720
Maybe they would think some of those activities were ill-advised for the benefit of the, you
00:26:52.580
And those people would be wrong because, of course, we know Joe Biden knew nothing about
00:27:01.960
And then Merrick Garland was like, I'm not going to get, that's why we have a special counsel.
00:27:09.940
I mean, taking ourselves out of sarcasm mode here for a second, wouldn't it be almost
00:27:15.620
irresponsible for a president to be unaware of something like this?
00:27:19.220
Like, the president, what the president's role in this should be is pressuring them not
00:27:25.040
Like, it's going to make me look terrible because everyone's going to think I'm responsible
00:27:30.860
Not to mention, it shakes the foundation of the country.
00:27:33.900
Half the country now does not believe in the FBI or the DOJ or any of these other three-letter
00:27:41.180
You've taken the respectability of these institutions and flushed it down the toilet for your own
00:27:48.120
And the only argument Joe Biden should be making behind the scenes is just please don't.
00:27:52.400
I know he had the stupid documents or whatever he was doing.
00:27:56.100
Like, that, him holding on to documents is not worth, as they would say, the juice is
00:28:13.080
That happened to, the reason I was in my mind is there was a speech at some college recently
00:28:18.140
where they, you know, some conservative was, I don't know, trying to make some sane comment
00:28:23.360
and the left came out and they were, like, protesting and not letting them speak.
00:28:28.060
And they said, yes, we can allow a speaker like that, but is the juice worth the squeeze?
00:28:37.060
No, you should not let anybody, if they're going to protest us, then shut everybody up.
00:28:46.440
Is document storage worth setting the flag on fire?
00:28:55.660
Because that, although they're saying these were such sensitive documents now, they had
00:29:00.140
nuclear secrets, they had secrets about attacking another country, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
00:29:04.600
But to be clear, they have two instances of this being shared, two.
00:29:09.520
One of them is with a biographer, which I don't know.
00:29:12.220
I would guess every freaking newspaper that's complaining about this would be excited to
00:29:19.060
report all the details from these documents in a report if they met the guy in a parking
00:29:24.960
garage and were able to get a Pulitzer out of it.
00:29:28.300
They all would put it on the front page of the New York Times if they had the chance.
00:29:34.100
So, to a biographer, to prove a point in his defense over an accusation from General Milley
00:29:41.440
about the war, and he said, look, I have a document that showed that Milley came up with
00:29:46.420
Now, is that a, again, is this a self-inflicted wound?
00:29:49.300
This is a totally different conversation maybe we can have later.
00:29:51.540
Does Trump tend to put himself in a situation where he inflicts wounds on himself?
00:29:58.020
But, like, fundamentally, that's one example where I would argue every biography written
00:30:05.520
with the help of a president, at the very least, is going to get this information, whether
00:30:09.920
they see the document or not because it's in a presidential storage or if it's, you know,
00:30:14.140
storage of the record, you know, the records in Washington, whatever.
00:30:19.180
The second one was he was sent, again, making an argument to someone, I guess, to his, in
00:30:25.440
his pack, and he starts to show him, tell him the story about the document, starts to
00:30:28.600
show it to him, and then says, wait a minute, this is classified, you should probably stay
00:30:34.400
Trump, in the indictment, it says it, that Trump says, yeah, you should probably keep your
00:30:40.380
Don't get too close, I think is the word he says, is the phrasing he uses.
00:30:43.660
Essentially saying, like, you're probably not supposed to see this, and he realized it's
00:30:48.200
sort of midstream and decided to keep the guy away from it.
00:30:50.920
Now, those are the two examples they have in the indictment.
00:30:54.640
That is the risk that they say has been brought to us over this incident.
00:31:00.980
Now, yeah, they can show you pictures of boxes in a bathroom that obviously wasn't being
00:31:07.540
You know, I mean, it was not an active bathroom for patrons.
00:31:11.520
You know, they can say he was careless, but they don't have any evidence that anything
00:31:14.440
happened here, and yet they're acting as if it's the worst thing that's ever occurred
00:31:20.040
in our history, and they're saying things like nuclear secrets and all this, and I caution
00:31:24.660
anyone, and not that I probably have to caution anyone in this audience, Pat, but like, this
00:31:31.240
This is not, we don't, they haven't had a chance to give you a defense yet.
00:31:34.940
You can't just look at this and believe everything inside.
00:31:37.680
If you did this, you'd think Donald Trump was a Russian agent that got peed on by prostitutes.
00:31:43.360
Like, there is, at this point in the investigation, they always say they have everything locked
00:31:51.600
They may, in this case, if you believe the indictment, they have really good evidence
00:31:56.680
Whether it should rise to the level that we're talking about is a totally different thing,
00:31:59.840
but he hasn't even been able to defend himself yet, which is part of the design of this,
00:32:04.600
Because, you know, likely he won't be able to defend himself until after the election.
00:32:09.620
So, this will stretch on until, you gotta believe, until after the election.
00:32:17.440
He can make a public plea to say, hey, this guy's coming after me.
00:32:25.520
And I think it's true, which is a good reason to believe it.
00:32:29.180
I think he will say, you know, he will come up with a bunch of other reasons why he had
00:32:33.040
these documents and why it was okay, and some of them will be believable, and some
00:32:38.140
And all of that will help him with the nomination.
00:32:46.280
There are many who've pointed out this is the plan, right?
00:32:48.780
You put Trump in a position where he is damaged to the general election, but helped in the
00:32:55.500
So his opponents can't win in the primary, and then he can't win in the general.
00:33:00.580
Now, this is a risky game, one that they've already lost before, right?
00:33:03.900
They lost this game in 2016, where they clearly tried to elevate Trump in the primary to win
00:33:09.020
it, which he did, and then thought they could defeat him in the general, which they did not.
00:33:13.740
So this is not a good idea if your goal is to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.
00:33:18.780
You know, if you really think the country is at risk, he's a unique risk to our republic.
00:33:27.360
If you actually believe that, you would not be elevating him in the primary, right?
00:33:34.240
Because fundamentally, when it comes down to a one-on-one situation, anything can happen.
00:33:41.900
Something can go crazy in the last couple weeks of the campaign, which it kind of did
00:33:46.440
There's all sorts of news that broke in October of 2016.
00:33:52.000
It's out of your control when it gets to that level.
00:33:54.220
People always talk about what an incredible, like, you know, wow, what an incredible victory
00:34:02.280
But I would argue that the primary was much more difficult for Donald Trump.
00:34:08.780
You had a lot of good people running against him.
00:34:15.600
Just beating Hillary Clinton one-on-one is something that Donald Trump could do.
00:34:19.100
Beating 17 Republican candidates, you know, seven of them maybe were pretty good.
00:34:27.620
So, bet against him, you know, at your own risk.
00:34:34.160
This time, though, there's going to be, you know, there's going to be some questions about
00:34:42.000
So, while Trump may have issues if he wins the nomination in a general, Biden's got plenty
00:35:01.320
I mean, if it's those two against each other, still kind of like Trump's chances, even with
00:35:19.020
And, uh, this criminal case against, uh, Trump is now being handled and overseen by a Trump
00:35:33.120
And they're thinking that, uh, she can't be, she, she can't be neutral in this.
00:35:38.200
She can't, uh, she can't, uh, actually oversee justice in this particular case.
00:35:44.980
But if this were a, a Biden appointed judge or, uh, an Obama appointed judge, they wouldn't
00:35:56.880
This was something that Donald Trump pointed out when he said, hey, you know, there's a,
00:36:01.540
this judge has got with me in this case is against me.
00:36:04.980
You know, he says stuff like that all the time.
00:36:06.460
Whenever, really, whenever there's a case like this, he says that.
00:36:09.760
And without fail, the left says it's against the country's, you know, democracy.
00:36:16.360
They say it's, you know, it's some racist attack against the, you know, the, the nation's
00:36:22.260
And then when Trump gets a good judge or one that is likely to be more friendly or understanding
00:36:28.320
of, of what he's trying to do here, then that's, it's perfectly okay to make that criticism.
00:36:48.600
9-11 was America's darkest day filled with carnage and sorrow, but born on that day, the
00:36:55.480
He's been, it's been helping America's heroes ever since.
00:36:58.640
Sometimes the, you know, military service members and first responders don't come home.
00:37:02.420
And when they don't, you know, the effects of that really hit not only them, of course,
00:37:10.560
When young children are left behind, Tunnel to Towers steps in.
00:37:13.620
They pay the mortgage on the family home to help lift the financial burden.
00:37:17.560
And for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, they build mortgage-free
00:37:21.800
smart homes that can help these heroes move around more independently.
00:37:25.300
Their veteran homelessness program provided housing and services to more than 500 in 2022 and more
00:37:31.360
than 1,500 in 2023 so far, expanding rapidly because all veterans who honorably served,
00:37:37.260
whether in peacetime or in war, deserve our nation's gratitude.
00:37:40.360
It's all done through your help and those people who put their lives on the line for our country
00:37:47.780
Join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good and never forget 9-11 or the sacrifices

00:38:29.140
And so that toppled the beer brand from its longtime perch as the nation's best-selling brew.
00:38:38.280
Is it the actual whole company or just Bud Light?
00:38:44.140
Anheuser-Busch sold $297 million worth of Bud Light.
00:38:52.540
That's for the four-week period that ended May 28th.
00:38:59.920
But that's a 23% drop from the same time period the year before.
00:39:10.680
Ranked number one in May with $333 million in sales.
00:39:17.200
I wonder if that had anything to do with Cinco de Mayo.
00:39:23.280
Although I guess it's comparing it to the year before.
00:39:29.700
Certainly a 15% increase over May for that particular brand is going to be strong.
00:39:34.020
You would think it'd be like, I don't know, Miller Lite or one of those.
00:39:41.340
What's the other one that nobody, I don't think anybody knows.
00:39:48.020
Yeah, Michelob Ultra is like a competitor to Bud Light and Coors Lite, but that's also
00:39:57.520
But, you know, what makes this stuff really difficult for people is that there's no other
00:40:05.140
brand that you're going to be happy with if you go down this road.
00:40:08.400
Like, you know, like you go to Bud Light, a lot of people are like, oh, I'm going to go
00:40:16.240
Well, Miller Lite also did a trans commercial a while ago.
00:40:22.960
And they did a big female thing where females have been brewing beer for longer than men
00:40:27.900
And it was like an in-your-face-to-males sort of thing.
00:40:31.920
And so everyone was like, okay, well, what about that thing?
00:40:36.060
I don't remember if they've done one in particular.
00:40:38.720
The Coors family is known as like a Republican-leaning family.
00:40:49.120
And like a lot of people I've talked to are boycotting Target.
00:40:52.500
And they're going to, you know, the easy, obvious substitute of that is Walmart.
00:40:56.860
And then the other day, you know, I get the Walmart marketing emails.
00:41:07.920
That's why you have to, you know, I think drawing the line of kids makes a big difference
00:41:15.780
Like, 29 of 30 Major League Baseball teams have a Pride Night.
00:41:23.580
You know, like, I'm not even going to get that worked up about that at this point.
00:41:26.740
It's like, do, when you're doing what the Dodgers did.
00:41:35.220
That's the big thing for all of us to figure out.
00:41:51.520
Home Title Lock is a great company because they protect something really important to
00:41:56.380
If you haven't checked your home's title in a while, that would be very normal.
00:42:00.280
You should not be spending a long time checking your home's title.
00:42:05.180
I will say that if you don't do it, you're really, really vulnerable.
00:42:09.080
That's why Home Title Lock exists because they just monitor it all the time for you.
00:42:15.680
Home Title Lock has protected thousands of homes against home title fraud.
00:42:20.260
And this basically means like a hacker gets control of your documents.
00:42:23.960
And if you think about what's at the fundamental baseline of a real estate transaction, it's
00:42:33.000
Well, if they find that paper and they say that you sold them, you sold your house to
00:42:38.960
them, some hacker can file that paperwork and all of a sudden you're not in control of
00:42:44.820
There's one case of a home being bulldozed because someone else actually owned it.

With Pat and Stu for Glenn today, an interesting poll about what Republicans would like to hear
00:44:08.100
Managed care of North America, a major insurance company, suffered a data breach that exposed
00:44:14.420
the personal information of nearly 9 million patients.

All right, so what do Republicans want to hear from Donald Trump during the primary season?
00:45:29.340
Now, there's three categories that they asked about, and this goes to something, man, if
00:45:35.180
I have heard this once, I have heard it a million times from people in this audience who
00:45:40.700
when we were talking about politics, we run into you, you know, out in the real world,
00:45:51.900
They say, what do you want to hear about from Donald Trump?
00:45:54.500
And the questions are, what happened in 2020, investigations against Donald Trump, or plans
00:46:01.700
Those are the three things that they want, that they pulled here.
00:46:05.400
And here's what the poll, this comes from YouGov, by the way.
00:46:09.320
32% of likely GOP primary voters want to hear more from Donald Trump about what happened
00:46:21.620
39% say they would like to hear more from Donald Trump about the investigations against
00:46:36.620
What are you going to do if you're in office again?
00:46:39.160
96% say they would like to hear more from Donald Trump about that.
00:46:44.940
No, I don't know what person is going to say no to that.
00:46:47.260
You don't want to hear his plans for the country.
00:46:51.360
Like, I don't want to hear the, what happens at the end of the finale of succession.
00:46:59.900
When I elect a president, I want to be like, whoa, he did what?
00:47:12.520
I think this is an interesting measure, though.
00:47:15.320
And it's honestly even bigger than I thought it would be.
00:47:26.060
I just think that's understandable, even though you might.
00:47:28.700
A lot of people still think, you know, look, there's real problems there.
00:47:31.940
And, you know, that's been, we've been talking about that for a while.
00:47:36.260
But like, yeah, let's move forward into something.
00:47:38.100
If that's the game you play now where you gather, you know, you go in and you offer rides to old people and take them to the polls.
00:47:44.540
And you harvest ballots legally, if that's possible, then do that.
00:47:55.640
Yeah, I would say, if anything, like, if there's any real thing that I care about when it comes to that is, like, how do you, what are you going to do to solve these things in the future?
00:48:11.320
I don't need to hear about what happened in 2020 all over again.
00:48:13.540
What are we going to do differently so we can win this time?
00:48:16.640
You know, I think one of the things that I think would be really interesting to hear from Donald Trump is the man was president of the United States for four years leading up to this election.
00:48:26.180
Why was it more done to prevent the things that he's worried about?
00:48:30.100
And I would point specifically to changes at the state level and law.
00:48:34.200
Like, why was this not more of a focus of his legal team to give support to people opposing those rules?
00:48:39.720
I mean, some of it seems like he didn't even think about until after the election.
00:48:44.640
And we know that because he didn't oppose them when they took place and then tried to oppose them after the election.
00:48:51.180
Legally, which gives you almost no chance to win them.
00:48:54.920
Like, when they happen, you have to oppose them.
00:48:57.760
Like, why was no one on his team looking out for this?
00:49:00.880
I don't expect Donald Trump to be an expert on every election law in every state.
00:49:04.460
But, like, he needs to have an infrastructure around him to catch these things before the first Tuesday in November.
00:49:15.600
Because now you know about it and you don't want to go into the election doing the same thing we did last time and then complain about it again afterwards.
00:49:28.360
That should be up our most in the Republican Party's mind right now.
00:49:33.960
I was actually surprised to see only 39% said investigations against him would be a topic.
00:49:39.180
Because I do think that is central to his argument to becoming president.
00:49:43.020
I mean, I think, you know, he – we know his policies.
00:49:46.820
We know a lot of the policies of his competitors, which are pretty darn similar to his, frankly, policy-wise.
00:49:52.100
There's not that much – you know, he obviously is – doesn't look to limit spending on a lot of these bigger entitlement programs.
00:50:01.700
That's different than some of the other Republicans, some of the other Republicans.
00:50:06.400
And Donald Trump is making that contrast in his own political ads, right?
00:50:12.000
He wants to take away benefits from some people, even though DeSantis sort of denies some of this.
00:50:22.700
It has been an attack largely from the left when it comes on spending, right?
00:50:25.700
Trump's approach to DeSantis has been he wants to shrink Medicare.
00:50:34.660
And really, he says he does not want to do those things.
00:50:38.100
But still, that's where Trump has gone after him.
00:50:41.180
And, of course, we've seen this stuff more recently of, like, you know, maybe DeSantis, he – Trump's perception is he's too hardcore on abortion, for example.
00:50:50.600
I don't think he can be too hardcore on abortion.
00:50:54.560
Not a criticism that connects with me, but that is something that he's mentioned.
00:50:59.500
Trump has mentioned it as almost like a problem in the general, right?
00:51:02.460
Like, if you're too harsh on this in the general, it'll come back to bite you.
00:51:06.280
Of course, I don't see how – the voters, I think, if anything, and this is to Trump's eternal – and I mean eternal – eternal credit.
00:51:16.540
If anyone's seen as a person associated with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, it's Donald Trump.
00:51:22.600
You know, I mean, because he put the justices in that made that happen.
00:51:26.700
And I think it's one of the strongest arguments you can make for Trump's presidency.
00:51:32.100
So, I don't think there's any line that's going to be able to be drawn where Trump is some moderate on abortion.
00:51:37.120
I don't think that the American people are going to digest that well.
00:51:42.520
I think he's much better off just saying, hello, I'm a pro-life president.
00:51:45.520
I did the most pro-life thing that anyone's seen in the last 50 years, and I should be given credit for that.
00:51:55.140
But instead, he seems to be a little hesitant on that one.
00:51:57.680
And it could just be, you know, unlike most candidates who run their ideas through focus groups to see what connects,
00:52:08.120
You know, he kind of just like says stuff and then sees how it floats and sees what goes on with it
00:52:18.680
Like, you know, this just happens with him sometimes.
00:52:21.420
And, you know, sometimes, like, he says stuff about, like, guns sometimes where he's not particularly, you know, it's not his expertise.
00:52:29.720
He's not a hardcore Second Amendment, you know, activist.
00:52:35.900
He was, you know, famously very much for gun control for a large part of his life.
00:52:40.440
And so when he says stuff that's out of line with what the Second Amendment movement wants, a lot of times he hears about it.
00:52:47.260
And then later on, kind of comes around to the right opinion, you know, because that's, you know, like, he's listening to his voters.
00:52:56.340
And I think he does that a lot on issues he doesn't really care about that much.
00:53:00.840
Like, when he's not incredibly passionate about an issue, he's much more malleable.
00:53:07.460
Something like trade, where, like, a lot of people were saying, hey, don't do this.
00:53:17.800
Where, you know, these other issues, I think, are secondary to him.
00:53:21.760
And he's more willing to listen to the voters and kind of go with what they want.
00:53:28.580
I don't expect Donald Trump to make an outwardly moderate abortion argument when it comes down to the real core of the campaign.
00:53:35.900
I'll be surprised to see him on stage being like, actually, I think 20 weeks is too strict.
00:53:39.960
Like, I'll be surprised to hear him say something like that.
00:53:46.080
He does claim six weeks is too strict, right, on the DeSantis law in Florida.
00:53:55.380
But I think that's just getting at DeSantis on something.
00:53:58.420
He's just trying to find something that will hurt DeSantis.
00:54:01.540
Also, I think there is an argument to be made that the six-week ban is too strict for your maximum nationwide vote total.
00:54:15.360
Like, I think you can make that argument that a good chunk of the country wants more abortion availability than a six-week ban would provide.
00:54:32.840
So, like, I don't care how many votes it brings in, frankly.
00:54:40.800
I'd be much more worried about embracing child death than I would be about losing a few votes.
00:54:46.840
But there is a political calculation there to be made, certainly.
00:54:52.140
And, you know, six weeks, you know, Florida had a 15-week ban, and they lowered it to six weeks.
00:54:57.620
And I think part of the reason they did that is, you know, I don't think DeSantis wanted to walk into a Republican primary with only a 15-week ban.
00:55:04.620
You know, where 98 or 99% of abortions continue.
00:55:09.900
I don't think that was a good look for a Republican candidate coming into a primary.
00:55:14.120
And so, I think that's a big part of the reason they lowered that to six weeks, knowing he was about to jump in.
00:55:21.420
I mean, I think it will be surprising if Donald Trump takes a really lenient stance on this issue.
00:55:29.060
I don't think it's going to please Republican primary voters, but he's still, you know, got a large lead.
00:55:34.920
So, I don't know that maybe he just doesn't think it makes a difference.
00:55:41.360
Depends on what poll, but I think it probably averages about 30 points, Trump over DeSantis right now.
00:55:47.920
In fact, Trump, according to a poll I saw, I think we talked about it last week, he was ahead by 20 points in Florida, which is incredible.
00:55:58.300
In DeSantis' home state, he's ahead by 20 points?
00:56:02.060
The average right now, by the way, is 56 for Trump.
00:56:11.980
And, you know, honestly, looking back at recent polls, it seems to have gone up over the past month or so.
00:56:18.320
Now, I will say this when you're going to give a disclaimer here on the primary.
00:56:24.960
You know, I don't know that people are following the primary that closely.
00:56:29.940
If Ron DeSantis can't close this significantly between, you know, I don't know, before the end of the year.
00:56:47.940
The first debate, though, I think is, is it in August or September this year?
00:56:53.500
Yeah, the first debates are coming in late summer, early fall.
00:56:57.560
So that's going to be, I think, I do think that that is going to be true.
00:57:13.840
I'm not sure if that's true for Democrats still.
00:57:19.160
But anyway, the point is, it's early in 2024, whenever the date is.
00:57:22.680
And so you figure, like, by Thanksgiving, this needs to close.
00:57:28.980
And DeSantis will have many chances to do this, assuming Trump goes to the debates.
00:57:45.580
I think we all deserve, you know, if you're a Republican primary voter, you want to see this.
00:57:50.660
You want to see these guys duke it out a little bit.
00:57:53.380
I don't necessarily need a 17-person debate or a 10-person debate with Donald Trump in it.
00:58:01.840
Let's do, like, a bracket A, bracket B situation.
00:58:05.360
If we have, like, let's put the top four on a debate stage and then let everyone else debate
00:58:12.740
Well, they kind of did that last time, didn't they, with the adults and the kiddie table?
00:58:16.020
They did do the adults and kiddie table, but they made them both very large.
00:58:19.260
It was both, I mean, I think it was, like, 10 and 7 or, you know, 8, 9, 8.
00:58:24.000
Yeah, you're right, 4 would be, that's a good number.
00:58:26.520
And people would be pissed off if they get left out of that.
00:58:35.300
There's nothing quite as satisfying as knowing that everyone in the house is asleep but you.
00:58:40.320
Mm, I love lying there in bed, looking up at the ceiling and listening to the clock on the wall.
00:58:44.560
Tick, right after, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, over and over and over.
00:58:54.360
I think maybe you want to instead try Relief Factor Sleep.
00:58:57.820
Relief Factor is a great product we've talked about many, many times, but they've got something
00:59:04.340
It's just like the regular Relief Factor, you know, for you to deal with your pain.
00:59:10.740
It was made with a blend of natural ingredients and designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing
00:59:15.700
anxiety and distress, improving your mood, and promoting relaxation.
00:59:21.320
The first bottle is only $19.95, $20 to get the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment
00:59:28.180
And then feel refreshed and rejuvenated the next morning.
00:59:33.160
Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800-4-RELIEF.
00:59:45.780
This is Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:59:59.100
In California, they are trying to pass a bill that would classify not affirming a child's
01:00:11.180
And in California, I could see this passing, frankly, and being signed into law by Gavin
01:00:26.480
It would add affirming the sexual transition of a child to the state standard for parental
01:00:33.860
responsibility and child welfare, making any parent who doesn't affirm transgenderism for
01:00:40.680
their child guilty of abuse under California state law.
01:00:43.980
So you have to be in favor of them changing their gender or you're not affirming their
01:00:50.580
Yeah, because I think the way you initially phrased that or the article initially phrased
01:00:53.820
it was, if you don't affirm their gender, it's a problem.
01:00:56.540
Which I would argue, okay, well, that makes kind of sense.
01:00:59.700
If you tell a kid that they're a woman or a girl when they're actually a boy, I have a
01:01:06.580
If you're affirming their gender, that means you are affirming the fact that they want
01:01:18.100
I mean, it really is the incredible spin they put on this stuff.
01:01:26.420
Glenn used to say, you know, change the language, change the argument all the time.
01:01:30.600
Or change the argument, change the language, win the argument or something like that.
01:01:42.320
It's been a while since he said it, but he did say it all the time.
01:01:47.180
You know, when you make it out about choice, of course, abortion's good, right?
01:01:59.500
Except maybe when you're, you know, killing something.
01:02:01.900
So, I think, you know, there is that real strategy from the left to do this.
01:02:11.080
In essence, a boy could report his parents to his local school's Gay Straight Alliance
01:02:21.640
And then they would report the boy's parents for child abuse.
01:02:25.440
The bill provides no definition whatsoever of what would qualify as non-affirming to a
01:02:36.420
Susanna Luthie of the Washington Free Beacon points out, the bill makes no distinctions
01:02:41.240
regarding the age of a child, how long a child has identified as transgender, or affirmation
01:02:49.080
of social transition versus medical sex change treatments.
01:02:54.920
Do you have to be open to a sex change operation for your child?
01:02:58.980
If they just decided five minutes ago that they want to be a girl when they're a boy, you
01:03:22.260
And I think one of the only blessing of the Gavin Newsom stint as governor is he really
01:03:33.980
has been so horrifically bad that he's convinced a lot of people to leave the state.
01:03:42.800
I think, like, his incredible ambition, and he is really, I would say, acting as if he's
01:03:52.980
He's just, all of these moves are to pander to Democratic primary voters as if he's running
01:03:59.300
Because I think he thinks there's a chance Joe Biden drops out.
01:04:01.860
There's a chance that people see Biden on the left as not left enough.
01:04:10.280
And one of the side effects about that, really the only good one, is that a lot of people
01:04:14.760
who are maybe conservative or moderate, who are looking at this and saying, well, I love
01:04:18.160
the state, but there's problems, have been like, okay, I got to get out of here.
01:04:21.300
I know people who've moved to Texas, friends of ours, who lived in California and were just
01:04:29.460
And it's happening to thousands and thousands of people.
01:04:31.440
In Land O'Lakes, Florida, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is building a community called
01:04:44.380
the Let Us Do Good Village, which will have about 100 homes for their program participants.
01:04:50.680
There are two families who've already moved in, a Gold Star family and the family of a
01:04:58.680
This is a special place where families will be able to come together and heal.
01:05:02.300
This is a place where their children can grow up and experience life together.
01:05:05.660
And it's all thanks to an amazing donation of the land on which it sits.
01:05:12.800
The Let Us Do Good Village can be the first of many communities like it.
01:05:17.000
This is your opportunity to help America's greatest heroes and their families heal together
01:05:22.700
With every mortgage-free home, the foundation makes good on its promise to do good and never
01:05:27.720
forget the sacrifices of our heroes and what they have done for our country and our communities.
01:05:33.000
Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.
01:05:38.060
They've been working really hard to make sure 9-11 is always remembered.
01:05:48.180
Stu and I would love it if you'd check out our respective shows.
01:05:51.000
Pat Gray Unleashed happens every weekday right before this one live.
01:05:54.100
And then anytime you want on podcast, Stu live.
01:06:33.740
If you say something on Twitter or Instagram or anywhere on social media that the left doesn't like,
01:06:41.700
no amount of groveling and apologizing is going to do you any good.
01:06:47.940
Really good case in point, Anthony Bass, former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher.
01:06:53.700
He just shared an Instagram post that called for the boycott of Target and Bud Light.
01:07:07.400
But they were talking specifically about the designer and this particular gay designer or trans designer.
01:07:20.580
That Target was working with and selling his goods online and in the store.
01:07:26.900
Maybe we start there because, first of all, I'm America's only Toronto Blue Jays fan.
01:07:46.100
I was on a little league team called the Blue Jays when I was a kid.
01:08:09.380
You think MLB coverage in America is left-wing.
01:08:15.380
Like, there's not even a thought that anyone could be a Christian.
01:08:19.740
Anyone who would vote for a conservative is basically Satan in any Canadian media.
01:08:26.900
But, like, one of the things that I think has been interesting to listen to as you watch the coverage of this is everyone, of course, races just like they do here to take the strongest stance possible about the horrible things that come from Anthony Bass and his statements.
01:08:44.120
Why do these people want to erase transgendered individuals?
01:08:58.600
Like, it's just this dumb, lazy argument that people make when they don't know anything about what they're talking about.
01:09:05.180
So, I have this very strange place as in the intersection between conservative media personality and Toronto Blue Jays fan, which there's just not a lot of people living there.
01:09:18.480
And so, Bass, first of all, this is a terrible baseball move for the Blue Jays, who have a strong defense.
01:09:30.720
By the way, he shared that Instagram post, but then apologized profusely for it.
01:09:50.460
They didn't release him because he had a poor performance.
01:09:52.920
He got hit hard in a couple early outings this year, but he was one of the best relievers in Major League Baseball last year.
01:09:59.860
He had a 154 ERA for the season, I think, last year.
01:10:07.440
Like, you don't want to weaken a strength like this for no reason.
01:10:12.300
He had also had, I don't know, eight or ten straight scoreless appearances.
01:10:26.600
Well, he had a, he put out a statement, or he basically retweeted, reposted on Instagram a video that said something about, in the pride, in the target context,
01:10:47.320
Because we had been in the middle of the story the whole time, understanding and learning about this,
01:10:52.140
and not just dismissing it because we don't, we're not left wing, right?
01:10:56.600
Like, in the media, when you're left, you just dismiss the entire story and don't even try to learn about it.
01:11:01.200
But what, what I took from Bass's initial post was that he was echoing the idea that the target situation,
01:11:11.260
working with an outwardly satanic, someone who was saying they were a Satanist, was evil and demonic.
01:11:19.200
Not every gay person that walks by you is Satan, but not that rainbow flags equal hell, but just that, look,
01:11:28.900
they were working with someone who was an outward Satanist.
01:11:34.720
Now, that, you can say, well, they didn't, you know, Target didn't actually carry the stuff that said satanic things on it,
01:11:43.080
and there was a lot of different pieces of pushback from the left on that.
01:11:46.460
But generally speaking, a Christian saying that a Satanist is evil and demonic is not exactly a stretch of the faith, right?
01:11:54.880
Like, that's pretty core to the faith to say a Satanist could wind up being evil and demonic or their beliefs are evil and demonic.
01:12:04.740
So, what was fascinating about listening to the Blue Jays coverage, which they all talked about this,
01:12:10.560
all the reporters talked about it as if they knew everything about it,
01:12:13.600
they sounded just as authoritative as they do on every other topic,
01:12:18.100
and none of them, I legitimately got the sense, Pat,
01:12:23.360
none of them were even aware of that part of the story.
01:12:26.420
None of them had heard one time that Target was actually proven 100% true,
01:12:34.580
was working with a person who was an out Satanist and was also selling Satanist clothes on their website.
01:12:43.720
But I don't think any of these Blue Jays reporters knew anything about it.
01:12:46.480
They just assumed, because Bass is a Christian, that he was calling all gay people demonic and evil.
01:12:53.080
Which is not only wrong, but also incredibly lazy, right?
01:12:58.700
They didn't even bother to understand the story they were condemning another human being over.
01:13:05.720
And that is pathetic and lazy journalism, at the very least.
01:13:13.700
And it's also, the other thing I would say that I think is interesting about this story,
01:13:18.020
is that Bass himself, the pitcher for the Blue Jays, who's a Christian and posted the initial Target protest video,
01:13:27.000
got a lot of heat from conservatives, who basically picked up the story after his apology happened,
01:13:34.700
where he gave the groveling hostage video apology.
01:13:37.440
And, like, that's really understandable, frankly, right?
01:13:41.160
Like, it was so, I mean, he didn't say anything.
01:13:44.280
I don't think he said anything in there he disagreed with.
01:13:51.380
I didn't want it to, and I'm sorry that people took it that way.
01:13:55.500
And I'm not, I just, I have members of my family and friends that are in this community,
01:14:01.980
and I didn't mean to bring any, you know, any hurt to them.
01:14:07.520
Like, it was groveling, but he wasn't lying, right?
01:14:11.020
He was just, he found a way to word it in a frame that says, you know, I still believe what I believe,
01:14:17.640
but, like, I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings, and I want to keep my job, right?
01:14:22.440
And so a lot of conservatives, a lot of friends of mine were very critical of him, understandably so,
01:14:27.180
and I'm sure he's learned a lesson after all this has happened, that that's maybe not the way to do this.
01:14:32.500
But he was, eventually talked to reporters again, and it was like, they were like,
01:14:36.920
well, do you still, do you still have those personal beliefs?
01:14:39.220
And he's like, yeah, I mean, I still have those personal beliefs.
01:14:43.100
But, you know, I, you know, it was a distraction, and I don't want to, you know,
01:14:46.420
I probably should be smarter than posting that on Instagram, and, you know, but, like, of course,
01:14:53.360
He didn't, he never went against his actual belief system.
01:14:56.660
He just, you know, he groveled for his job a little bit.
01:15:03.400
I think it's hard, it's easy for a conservative media personality like myself to judge somebody in that situation,
01:15:08.500
because we, Pat, are rewarded, incentivized to say everything we believe.
01:15:14.940
Our whole, our whole, you know, compensation package is based on the fact that we do it.
01:15:23.920
If we start hiding what we actually believe, no one wants us to be employed at the blaze.
01:15:29.520
But when we say what we do believe, even when it's really unpopular, we, they do want us to be.
01:15:35.360
I mean, it's part of the incentive process here.
01:15:37.100
Like, we, they want us to be as clear as possible with what we believe.
01:15:40.780
That is not the case for every other job on earth.
01:15:44.560
And I think it's also accurate to be critical of making the groveling hostage video, hostage tape.
01:15:52.200
The other part about this, though, is something that probably Anthony Bass now learns,
01:16:26.720
So, and there was no forgiveness from the Blue Jays organization either.
01:16:31.580
Despite the fact that he really didn't do anything wrong.
01:16:38.960
I mean, like, he made other statements afterward.
01:16:46.960
And everyone is entitled to their personal beliefs.
01:17:03.560
They have to be so personal that no one knows what they are.
01:17:06.680
Which, of course, is completely opposed to the faith we're talking about here.
01:17:10.080
Which very much accentuates that you should talk about it.
01:17:14.380
Like, it's actually one of the most clear mandates in the teachings is making sure that
01:17:22.060
He said, you know, he says, I don't want to throw any, I don't want to throw this person
01:17:25.460
under the bus, but someone sent it to me on Instagram sharing their views of the situation
01:17:29.300
When I watched it, obviously it aligned with my personal beliefs.
01:17:32.920
I mean, he doesn't run from his personal beliefs, which I think is important here, even
01:17:37.780
though he did do the groveling apology, which I'm sure now he regrets, but like, this is
01:17:42.200
as close to the Toronto Blue Jays telling their team members they are no longer allowed
01:17:53.140
They're just telling, this is not somebody, if like, let's say he posted something, it
01:17:59.460
became a controversy, and then he came out and said, you know what?
01:18:04.280
Look, I don't, I think this, this is evil and demonic, and maybe he went really far,
01:18:09.400
went farther than Anthony Bass did and said really, you know, controversial things about
01:18:15.040
Like, at least you can argue at that point, okay, well look, he's putting himself and his
01:18:19.720
beliefs above the team, and we don't have to honor his beliefs, we have to honor, make
01:18:24.320
the team better, and it's a distraction, we want him out of here.
01:18:28.840
He did everything they asked him to do, and they still released him the day before Pride
01:18:38.780
They're telling him that, like, what percentage of this continent is Christian?
01:18:44.000
You're basically, they're basically telling them, you can't, you know, your kind is not
01:18:49.620
Yeah, like, you might disagree with his analysis on this, but like, he did everything the organization
01:18:57.620
He went into, I don't know, some sort of weird hypnosis counseling thing about what he's
01:19:03.780
God only knows, he was working with the resources of the Toronto Blue Jays to understand LGBTQ
01:19:17.640
But the problem is, they're actually probably developing them now.
01:19:20.740
It's probably some sort of thought change camp that you could put people into to make
01:19:27.020
And look, having a, having someone who is making news outside of baseball is not something
01:19:36.460
They don't want Kyrie Irving talking about whether he thinks vaccines are evil or the
01:19:46.660
But man, you know, when it comes to Christianity, it's just like, well, I'm sorry.
01:19:51.900
You, you, I mean, you get thrown off a team, a valuable member of a team thrown off for
01:20:00.400
Because he, he gave his personal views and then said he wanted to be respectful to other
01:20:07.000
He wasn't trying to get thrown out of town, but they threw him out.
01:20:13.780
And it's, it's something that like, you got to feel, you feel terrible for it.
01:20:17.700
Cause I, I have much more empathy maybe because I, you know, I cared about him as a baseball
01:20:22.540
I have more empathy than, you know, when you watch this guy come out and make that statement,
01:20:29.980
He probably should have done a better job with that initial statement.
01:20:33.380
I'm sure he would agree to try to protect your, your job and your $5 million a year salary.
01:20:40.980
That's not justifiable per se, you know, you should still stand, but this is a better lesson
01:20:48.120
If you get caught in these situations, you might as well just say what you believe because
01:20:50.900
you're going to throw, throw to the curb anyway.
01:20:58.240
It seems like not all that long ago when the third rail for conversation in business was
01:21:01.320
the same as the dinner table, religion and politics.
01:21:03.420
If you were a smart business, you left that stuff alone.
01:21:06.280
You, I don't know, just focused on making your customer happy.
01:21:10.340
The rise of wokeness murdered that notion in our society.
01:21:13.260

Welcome, it is Pat and Stu for Glenn, 888-727-BECK, Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.
01:22:36.340
Oh, well, you could have broken that to me a little more slowly.
01:22:44.680
Have you watched any of the Ted Kaczynski movies and like documentaries that have come
01:22:53.340
I get locked into that stuff as soon as I see that.
01:22:58.780
He was a fascinating guy because he was so smart and yet, you know.
01:23:06.260
Killed three people, maimed people, injured 23.
01:23:22.000
I thought he was sick with cancer or something.
01:23:59.340
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:24:24.840
Was this entrapment or what was going on on January 6th?
01:24:31.760
Cops have been caught encouraging the mob to enter the Capitol building.
01:24:38.080
We'll tell you about that and much more coming up in 60 seconds.
01:24:42.060
On 9-11, 2,977 people lost their lives and what turned out to be one of America's darkest days.
01:24:52.300
A generation later, you'd hardly know what happened at all.
01:24:55.120
At least if you tried to find out about it in school.
01:24:57.680
The Tunnel to Towers 9-11 Institute aims to change that by educating kids from kindergarten age all the way up to 12th grade about what happened that day.
01:25:05.500
Their non-fiction first-person accounts are available both as videos and in the Discovering Heroes book series.
01:25:11.800
They are deeply moving, amazing accounts and your kids will never forget them.
01:25:15.840
The Institute is offering full curriculum units with scripted social studies lessons, activities, and backgrounds for teachers.
01:25:22.340
Plus a speakers bureau for classrooms with access to 9-11 first responders, survivors, and loved ones.
01:25:30.420
A tractor trailer that is an interactive museum of 9-11 artifacts.
01:25:33.980
Plus scholarships for exceptional students preparing who have, you know, began prepping for college.
01:25:40.800
It is really an amazing list of things that they do.
01:25:50.940
So donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.
01:26:03.360
Tell you about this January 6th development in a minute.
01:26:06.520
But also, a survey finds that 75%, 3 out of 4 Princeton students, think it's okay to shout down speakers who appear at the university.
01:26:20.940
About 43% said it's acceptable to block other students from attending talks they disagree with.
01:26:28.060
These are big time First Amendment free speech activists.
01:26:33.360
Even more disturbingly, perhaps 16% support the use of violence to stop a controversial speaker.
01:26:49.040
Have you ever tried to silence someone from speaking?
01:26:54.780
I mean, maybe it's because we're always looking for content and I want dumb people saying dumb things.
01:27:08.780
Let them speak and then counter what they said with what you believe.
01:27:12.900
A lot of stuff happens on the internet that I disagree with.
01:27:20.800
It seems like such a pathetic way of looking at things.
01:27:24.060
It's like you're just admitting your argument sucks.
01:27:28.000
And 48% of them said a speech that uses discriminatory language or that a group finds offensive or that they find offensive should not be allowed.
01:27:40.680
That is completely contrary to the First Amendment because, as Glenn has pointed out many times, the only kind of speech you need to protect is speech that other people don't like.
01:27:51.220
I mean, if everybody agrees with it, nobody's going to try to shut it down.
01:27:57.400
If you only do happy talk, well, naturally that's allowed.
01:28:02.660
But do we have the guts to allow somebody to speak who we disagree with or we find offensive?
01:28:12.880
And who's deciding what's offensive and what isn't and it should be allowed?
01:28:22.940
Tyrion Steinbach, the school's Dean of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
01:28:32.220
We talk about all the time presidents saying, like, we've created these jobs.
01:28:37.980
They just don't have any economic impact other than sucking the life out of our society.
01:28:41.980
Like, all these DEI experts and speakers and, you know, anti-racist this and, you know, CRT that.
01:28:52.060
All those people, these are all just fake jobs.
01:29:01.520
40% of these students said a sports team should be able to suspend a student with views others find offensive.
01:29:09.560
So, they're going to love this Blue Jays thing.
01:29:15.380
I already told you 16% support violence to stop a speaker.
01:29:19.120
43% say it's okay to block other students from attending something they disagree with.
01:29:24.660
And 76% said it's sometimes acceptable to stop a campus speaker by shouting over them.
01:29:35.400
I think this is where these things happen a lot because it's, like, sometimes acceptable.
01:29:39.380
Like, I would say probably, I would say no to that, right?
01:29:46.740
If someone comes in and they're doing, if it's from the KKK, you know, Hitler's reincarnation is out there giving a speech.
01:29:55.780
Okay, Anna, you can make some arguments there, but it's pretty rare, pretty rare that that would ever be the case.
01:30:02.380
And even then, like, it's almost better to win an argument than to yell over it.
01:30:11.100
They haven't been taught how to deal with that.
01:30:13.640
And they haven't been expected to even deal with it.
01:30:16.580
Instead, you know, they're given cry spaces to where if they heard something that disturbed them, they can go and cry about it rather than defend their own position.
01:30:28.280
56% said they would be very or somewhat uncomfortable expressing their views on a controversial topic in class.
01:30:34.100
And they won't, 70% won't disagree with the professor in class.
01:30:38.240
So, this shows you a lot about what's going on in our college and university system.
01:30:44.060
I mean, they're just, they're being hammered with this stuff and they're not, they're not disagreeing with it.
01:30:53.320
Survey shows more needs to be done because most students neither support or understand free speech.
01:30:59.740
Yeah, I'd say that's a, that's pretty evident from this particular survey.
01:31:05.220
Last May, a Princeton Classics professor claimed he was fired for opposing clearly racist and illegal demands from fellow faculty members after George Floyd's death.
01:31:17.920
He alleged that he was fired for publicly criticizing a number of anti-racist demands, some of them clearly racist and illegal.
01:31:24.940
In a Wall Street op-ed, Princeton said he'd been fired after he failed to be straightforward in a misconduct probe.
01:31:35.340
I mean, and we just talked about Anthony Bass, who sort of expressed himself online and apologized profusely for it, was fired anyway.
01:31:48.540
I mean, he legitimately just reposted something else that someone said about getting rid of Target from your lives for a while, you know, and then apologized profusely.
01:32:00.860
And it's funny because I listened to, as I mentioned, a lot of the Blue Jays coverage and like their complaints on Bass were that, about the Blue Jays.
01:32:09.620
I mean, almost exclusively, people were complaining that the Blue Jays didn't fire him.
01:32:17.400
Because they didn't make him, that statement he made initially, they didn't have any reporters there for questions.
01:32:23.480
And they were saying basically the Blue Jays were protecting him.
01:32:27.320
Like, the whole perspective is totally upside down to what reality is.
01:32:33.460
And they all, they all were exactly walking in lockstep, man.
01:32:40.620
Now, that could have happened at any number of American baseball teams, too.
01:32:50.960
I think it's different because there's no cultural undertone of pushback in Canada.
01:32:56.080
They don't, I mean, like, we have friends up in Canada who work in conservative media and have been the lone voices in Canada for a long time over these issues.
01:33:09.260
But, like, when you step back from that, there's not, it's not a situation here where you have to worry about it.
01:33:17.120
You'll get, you'll get these conservative organizations that will publish stories that you don't like.
01:33:22.220
But there's not, like, 50% of the country that is pretty conservative.
01:33:28.260
I mean, I, you know, it's, it's, whatever it is, it's, and it's not very, they're not loud up there often.
01:33:35.700
But here, look, as much as we sometimes feel like everything's against us as conservatives, we do have a voice here and we do make a difference and we change things all the time.
01:33:48.180
You know, we are able to do things and push back.
01:33:50.860
Like, we don't win all those culture war battles, but we win a lot of them.
01:33:53.900
Another story from Canada, a superintendent, superintendents at an Ottawa school board sent an email to all staff saying that they start, that they need to start the next school year using they, them pronouns for all students.
01:34:11.060
Even if, I guess, the student isn't using they, them pronouns.
01:34:15.120
But that's until told their preferred pronouns.
01:34:18.280
It's also said teachings about LGBTQ identities should be embedded in the overall learning environment and are not open to debate or selective participation.
01:34:31.120
So, you can't opt out and you can't disagree and we're going to decide what you're being taught.
01:34:40.380
The intention was to suggest some actions that can be taken during Pride Month and beyond to promote inclusivity and belongings in our school.
01:34:52.920
They did not respond, though, directly to the question as to whether the suggested actions extend to all age groups, including using they, them for kindergarten students.
01:35:03.980
A kindergarten teacher told the Epoch Times that she received the email but has not yet been instructed in any staff meetings or elsewhere to act upon it.
01:35:12.580
But, I mean, it's, this is sweeping the planet and Canada's probably just a little bit ahead of us, but we're going down that same road.
01:35:25.620
The diversity, inclusivity, equity thing has taken root here, too.
01:35:33.180
Uh, and they're going to, they're going to continue.
01:35:40.220
And so, unless we stand up and say something about it, stand up and oppose it, we're just going to be trampled by it.
01:35:47.620
Uh, that seems to be what's happening right now.
01:35:49.860
And that, that's why, you know, you have Pride Month so prevalent this year.
01:35:54.560
Is it just me or is it more prevalent this year than it's ever been in the past?
01:36:02.300
Um, I think part of that is to do with the sort of high profile boycott sort of, uh, you know, stories that came out in the time leading up to Pride Month.
01:36:13.880
I think a lot of times, like, you know, the thing that always hits me on this one is I'm watching the NFL and then one weekend every year, everyone's wearing pink.
01:36:28.740
Now, I'm very familiar, like, I'm aware of breast cancer.
01:36:42.060
And look, they raise a bunch of money for breast cancer research, which is great.
01:36:46.040
I wish they could do it in a way that it was not pink uniforms, frankly, but it's, you know, whatever.
01:36:55.880
They're wearing pink socks in the middle of, why?
01:36:59.140
But my point there is that usually Pride Month sneaks up on me.
01:37:03.680
And all of a sudden, I just, everything's rainbow.
01:37:08.000
This year, because of the Bud Light thing, largely, but also Target, maybe secondarily,
01:37:18.180
I've had every company I've ever bought something from in the last 25 years still has my email address.
01:37:24.440
And they all email me their rainbow, you know, logos and tell me how prideful they are,
01:37:29.780
which I thought was one of the seven deadly sins, but I can apparently be bragging about that now.
01:37:36.940
In fact, it was supposed to be the worst of the seven deadly sins.
01:37:43.440
But again, this comes back to Anthony Bass's tweet or post where he says evil and demonic.
01:37:50.340
Like, the fact that we're promoting one of the seven deadly sins, like, you can see how
01:37:58.740
It's not like a massively large leap in the faith, right?
01:38:07.780
Because I don't even really, frankly, understand the tie between LGBTQQIA2 plus and pride, other
01:38:31.960
But pride itself, like, have you noticed lately it's like, happy pride is the way they
01:38:47.280
And like, again, we're promoting the deadliest of the seven deadly sins as a, essentially
01:38:55.940
You don't think Christians would wake up to that a little bit and say, wait a minute,
01:39:04.380
I mean, I wouldn't put it past them to have a lust month or a sloth month.
01:39:10.160
I wouldn't put it past our government to support that sort of stuff.
01:39:18.500
So I do think that it should probably connect to people that this is going on.
01:39:22.760
But it does seem much more prominent this month.
01:39:29.720
You get health insurance for an important reason.
01:39:31.380
The last thing you want on top of needing medical care is knowing that you're going to pay through
01:39:37.100
Well, the same applies to your car when the warranty runs out.
01:39:39.940
Car repairs are expensive pretty much across the board, and you don't want to get stuck
01:39:44.500
With all the inflation going on, too, it's even worse than you probably imagined last
01:39:50.780
CarShield offers affordable protection plans to fit every budget and covers more parts than
01:39:56.900

01:40:52.420
He was on a podcast recently kind of talking about the things we've been sort of kicking
01:40:56.780
He's calling out Hollywood here because they're just, he says there's two Americas.
01:41:02.260
There's an America that's appalled when babies show up to pride events exposed to the private
01:41:10.980
We had some photos of that that we showed on my, I mean, some portions blurred.
01:41:17.180
But, I mean, there's a woman holding a baby, like, I don't know, one and a half, maybe two.
01:41:22.640
And there was a guy bent over naked in front of him.
01:41:28.420
First of all, why did you bring the baby to this event?
01:41:31.840
And why is this guy doing, I thought this was non-sexual stuff that was happening here.
01:41:36.800
I thought this was family friendly, all ages welcome sort of stuff.
01:41:42.420
And then, you know, you see the sexual nature of it and it doesn't really seem like it.
01:41:47.880
But here's what Tyrese Gibson had to say about what's going on in Hollywood.
01:41:53.140
As much as I'm supposed to be promoting this movie and talking about my album, I just feel
01:41:59.080
like we're in competition right now because they are trying to normalize the devil.
01:42:04.260
They are trying to pop, they, the devil is on the main stage at award shows and in every
01:42:11.320
And I said, you know what, we need to stop treating our relationship with Jesus like the
01:42:16.880
little buddy that you talk to before you go to bed at night and not be more vocal about
01:42:23.240
all the things that God means to us and all of the things that God has brought us through.
01:42:27.860
Because there's been a lot of moments that you didn't post about, but yet, you know, how
01:42:40.480
And yeah, they going above and beyond to promote the devil.
01:42:44.400
And it's pissing me off because they used to devil worshipers used to be real secretive
01:42:50.040
like going down in the basement, this secret world.
01:42:56.100
Yeah, you mean it's something like promoting one of the seven deadly sins as a month of
01:43:01.120
Like would that describe what he's talking about?
01:43:04.260
And I think he was talking about the target stuff too, where, I mean, it was openly Satanist
01:43:08.780
stuff from this openly Satanist designer and people are okay with it.
01:43:17.240
How can we possibly be doing this in a, in a nation like ours where at least, I mean, what
01:43:23.180
is the percentage, 75%, 78% of us are Christian.
01:43:37.680
You know, again, to go back to the Blue Jays one more time.
01:43:40.500
I heard these people saying, hey, like, oh, I thought we were going to be all sexualized
01:43:45.040
here on Pride Night looking around and everything looks fine.
01:43:47.500
These reporters giving this sort of sarcastic message.
01:43:51.500
Probably weren't a lot of sex toys at the Blue Jays game for Pride Night.
01:43:58.100
If they, if someone showed up with a necklace made out of sex toys, like you see at these
01:44:01.460
parades all the time, what would they have done at the security line?
01:44:06.020
Of course, the answer to that is no, because they know there'd be kids inside and it's
01:44:11.620
Yet you seem to be arguing it's appropriate for middle school.
01:44:14.800
You seem to be arguing it's appropriate for toddlers.
01:44:20.320
Now, of course, the Blue Jays can make that decision because they're a major league franchise
01:44:23.420
and they can keep people out that they don't want to keep out.
01:44:25.800
But if those people showed up dressed like that, naked in thongs around children, they
01:44:38.000
It doesn't seem too sexual here inside the stadium at the Pride Night at Toronto Blue
01:44:44.920
No surprise there because they control the crowd.
01:44:48.120
Is that where you became a Canadian sports star?
01:44:54.560
One of the best catches in major league history made by me.
01:44:57.620
I'm on a lot of videos entitled Major League Baseball's Worst Fans.
01:45:05.020
I will never get kicked off of that, at least for YouTube.
01:45:10.240
So pain has gotten a little aggressive with you, has it?
01:45:13.980
It's already kicking you around like a soccer ball and it only gets worse as the day goes
01:45:21.180
Nothing like the good old frequent debilitating pain to make you feel like doing nothing other
01:45:25.320
than turning over in bed and going back to sleep.
01:45:28.160
But of course, that's not the best option, is it?
01:45:30.620
All it does is to allow the pain to continue to win.
01:45:33.880
But if you're living with pain that has gotten aggressive with you, it's time to be aggressive

Listen to all your favorite conservative voices at blazetv.com.
01:46:54.780
You know, we complain at times about Republicans in office not doing the things that we want them to do,
01:47:04.700
Yeah, it happens every, I mean, it's few and far between among Republicans because we just don't complain.
01:47:11.440
But you seem to think that there might be a solution to the complaint?
01:47:16.720
Well, yeah, because we can complain and complain and complain and be upset about who,
01:47:21.900
you know, let's say, for example, senators who are voting the wrong way on certain bills.
01:47:26.640
And they let us down all the time and we complain about this all the time.
01:47:30.940
And there's a lot of time to, we do it all the time when they're in office and they do it over and over again.
01:47:36.220
I would argue, though, Pat, there is time to complain and there's time to actually do something about this problem.
01:47:44.520
You can actually do something about this problem.
01:47:48.180
But if we don't pay attention, like right now, we will miss this opportunity for several more years.
01:47:56.440
So right now is the time we're supposed to care.
01:47:58.600
Not after these people have been elected and they have six-year terms.
01:48:02.300
But now, because right now we have a chance to primary Republican senators who are in office who suck.
01:48:14.320
But only if we work really hard to actually pick the right ones to primary and also find good candidates to oppose them.
01:48:23.080
But if you don't care and then when it comes to the election time, you're like, oh, this guy's back on the ballot and, oh, man, he's not even running against anybody.
01:48:31.680
Now is the time to think about this and get ahead of it.
01:48:35.000
And I think that we do a very, we've done a very poor job at times as Republicans and conservatives in selecting which races to make the most impact.
01:48:46.180
For example, we remember Mike Lee winning in a primary process and we really improved our standing in the Senate.
01:48:52.300
We went from a guy who was really moderate and not very good to one of the best senators, I would argue, the best senator in the Senate.
01:49:04.240
Yet, here we are still complaining about the same types of problems.
01:49:08.520
We got Ted Cruz in Texas instead of, what's his face, David Dewhurst.
01:49:17.660
That period was really successful, but that period was also marred by misses, where winnable races were tossed out the window because we tried to pick someone who was maybe more conservative, but not necessarily right for that particular state or whatever.
01:49:34.320
And I think what we've done at times is either ignore this problem because they already have an R next to their name, or just try to find someone more conservative and put them in whether they're going to win or not.
01:49:44.360
So, I thought this is the time to look at this more systematically, right?
01:49:51.720
There's nine main Republican senators who are running for re-election coming up.
01:49:59.140
And I ranked them on a bunch of different categories.
01:50:01.720
But the three main things that I thought were the determining factor here of how we should think about this is, first of all, who's the most conservative, right?
01:50:11.920
So, if they're super conservative already, Ted Cruz is a great example of this, no real need to primary him, right?
01:50:19.580
Why waste resources trying to get better than Ted Cruz when you, first of all, might be worse?
01:50:24.220
And secondly, you know, probably doesn't make any sense anyway.
01:50:29.620
Then, if we primary them, if we decide to come up with a candidate, can we actually win the primary?
01:50:35.240
Is it one of these things that we're going to throw a bunch of resources at a candidate who can't win?
01:50:38.900
Or do we have someone who's vulnerable and maybe can win?
01:50:43.920
And finally, if we win the primary with our new conservative candidate, are they going to win the general?
01:50:49.980
Or are we going to throw a moderate Republican out to get a liberal Democrat, which is not what we want?
01:50:55.600
If you put a, you know, you get a conservative through, you know, the example that a lot of the left would use was Delaware back there.
01:51:02.860
When it was Christine O'Donnell and Mike Castle, and Mike Castle looked like he was going to win the election if he won the primary.
01:51:09.140
Instead, O'Donnell won the primary and then had basically no chance to win the actual election.
01:51:14.580
And now we've been dealing with terrible Democrats in Delaware this whole time.
01:51:18.860
So, we want to avoid that situation if it's possible.
01:51:24.340
Starting from the other side of the scale, the most conservative that is running right now, Ted Cruz was the most conservative.
01:51:32.380
This is all based on their voting records through multiple different rating agencies that do this.
01:51:36.840
Ted Cruz was the most conservative, followed by Marsha Blackburn, Rick Scott, then John Barrasso, Deb Fisher, Josh Hawley.
01:51:44.200
And the three least conservative were Roger Wicker from Mississippi, Kevin Kramer from North Dakota, and Mitt Romney from Utah.
01:51:53.200
These are all candidates coming up in 2024 for election.
01:51:56.620
This is the time to do something about these people.
01:52:00.740
What's the point of replacing Cruz or Blackburn?
01:52:06.760
Now, if we primary them, can we win the primary?
01:52:11.400
The way I came up with this was basically, what is the approval rating in the state?
01:52:17.240
What's their approval rating in the state among Republican voters?
01:52:22.880
If they love the senator, even if they're moderate, it's going to be hard to knock them off.
01:52:26.440
If they don't like the senator, it's going to be easy to knock them off.
01:52:30.720
This is state approval rating by these nine senators that are running.
01:52:34.080
John Barrasso in Wyoming, 79% approval is the highest.
01:52:44.040
Again, it would be almost impossible to knock them out.
01:52:47.980
So, you wouldn't want to waste your resources here.
01:52:50.560
Then you have Kevin Kramer, who, as I mentioned, was one of the more liberal senators, but has
01:53:04.200
And Roger Wicker, you might remember, he was in the news recently because he was one of
01:53:08.080
the Republicans who opposed the debt ceiling limit.
01:53:13.380
No, he opposed it because we didn't spend enough money.
01:53:21.420
And I want to make sure we understand the range here.
01:53:26.040
That's the entire range of all of the first eight candidates.
01:53:29.580
The worst approval rating for Republicans in their state, Mitt Romney, 41%.
01:53:35.060
He is 22 points behind every other candidate that is running for re-election in his party.
01:53:43.680
He is massively vulnerable to a primary challenge if somebody good steps up and runs against him.
01:53:54.160
If they don't step up and run against them, Mitt Romney will win.
01:54:02.980
Has anybody stepped up in Utah to challenge Mitt Romney?
01:54:23.340
But we need somebody because we can complain about Mitt Romney until the end of time.
01:54:29.700
But he is incredibly vulnerable right now to a primary challenge.
01:54:42.400
So I rank these states by, you know, how easy it would be in the general election.
01:55:00.340
That's not an issue anymore, so now we got to get rid of Romney.
01:55:11.600
Now, if we win the primary, can we win the general?
01:55:13.560
So, you'd want this to be as easy as possible, right?
01:55:17.660
The hardest state of these nine to win the general election is Rick Scott in Florida.
01:55:24.220
Florida's pretty much a red state at this point, so it only gets easier from here.
01:55:27.640
Ted Cruz is the second most difficult on this list to win the general if you win the primary.
01:55:38.440
Then you've got Blackburn, Kramer, and then Barrasso in Wyoming would be the easiest.
01:55:41.980
The bottom line here is if you win the primary, you're basically going to win the general in
01:55:48.620
So, combine all these measures together, what do you get?
01:55:51.460
The least likely, the least productive for us to primary would be Ted Cruz, then Rick Scott,
01:56:05.440
That's what I would say from a conservative perspective.
01:56:07.880
Next three, Josh Hawley, John Barrasso, and Deb Fisher in Nebraska.
01:56:12.560
These three I'd put in the category of, if you have a really good candidate, go for it.
01:56:18.120
If you have someone who's significantly better than those three, go for it.
01:56:22.240
Though it might not be as easy and maybe not as productive.
01:56:25.840
You might not get as many conservative gains as you might get against some of these other ones.
01:56:32.160
If you're in these states, find somebody good to run against these people.
01:56:38.080
I'm telling you, this map is absolutely there for you to get through.
01:56:48.780
Do we need moderate votes out of freaking Mississippi, Pat?
01:56:57.840
We should have a Ted Cruz or a Marsha Blackburn in Mississippi.
01:57:03.260
That's this question about South Carolina, too, multiple times.
01:57:10.320
But again, why is somebody not primarying Lindsey Graham that is a legitimate top-notch candidate
01:57:22.600
You complain about McConnell, well, you should do something about Wicker.
01:57:27.740
Go out there and do something about him if you want.
01:57:29.920
In fact, I would argue McConnell's better than Wicker is.
01:57:33.640
Number two on the list, Kevin Kramer from North Dakota.
01:57:36.080
You might say, yeah, North Dakota, I haven't put much thought into it, other than the obvious
01:57:41.660
I haven't put that much thought into North Dakota.
01:57:44.000
Well, except for Burgum-mentum is sweeping the country.
01:57:48.000
But people, that's more of a Doug Burgum-specific type of thing.
01:57:55.860
And you may have never even heard of Kevin Kramer in North Dakota.
01:58:00.900
He's relatively popular in his state, but his voting record sucks.
01:58:07.460
And there's no reason there's somebody else in North Dakota who could step up and beat
01:58:13.300
He'd be one of the most difficult to beat in the primary.
01:58:15.340
But if you win the primary, you're going to win the general.
01:58:20.780
And number one, by a chasm that we can barely measure, is Mitt Romney in Utah.
01:58:37.240
When in your own party, only 41% approve of the job you're doing, you're ripe for picking.
01:58:44.500
Number two, he's in a state that Republicans basically can't lose, even if they try.
01:58:50.780
And number three, he is the least conservative out of all the candidates by a pretty large
01:59:07.200
And the problem is, we will spend the next six years bitching about Mitt Romney and complaining
01:59:12.500
about him while he's in office, instead of doing something now, while he's not, he can
01:59:26.440
Yes, he did something in the Olympics 900 years ago.
01:59:33.740
Why won't someone step up and do something about it?
01:59:55.620
More coming up in one, well, a couple of minutes.
02:00:03.580
A good real estate agent has a lot of responsibility when you're coming to buying or selling a home.
02:00:08.260
It's kind of your biggest financial decision, right?
02:00:12.800
You know, your biggest financial transaction, maybe of your entire life.
02:00:16.800
You usually get a house and then the next house is a little bit more expensive for a long series of purchases.
02:00:34.180
All these questions are really, really important.
02:00:36.120
Not to mention, if you want to sell your home, how do you get the most money out of it, honestly?
02:00:43.600
They sort through all these agents, just like kind of how I did sort through all these candidates, right?
02:00:47.560
They actually, you don't just vote based on are they a realtor or not?
02:00:51.940
Because only real estate agents can be realtors or the realtors can be real estate agents or whatever the phrase is.
02:00:58.220
But the bottom line is realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go to find the best real estate agent in your area.
02:01:31.880
We were just talking about vulnerable Republicans who are terrible in office and should be primaried.
02:01:37.880
And the biggest name on that list, Mitt Romney.
02:01:46.220
And, you know, there's some rumors about people who may be thinking about primarying him.
02:02:36.940
He was kind of in that Tea Party era and has spent a lot of time now as a Fox News commentator.
02:02:48.680
Which you guys have had on the air multiple times, right?
02:02:52.660
He's been right on everything I've heard him speak about.
02:03:00.540
I've heard rumors of that, that he was considering it.
02:03:03.780
I hope he does jump in because he'd be a great candidate.
02:03:07.800
It's tough to be, do you have a state profile if you're a mayor of a city?
02:03:12.200
You know, some people, that certainly can work, but it might be more difficult.
02:03:55.060
Glenn is back Monday, and we'll see you next week as well.
02:04:00.720
Getting yourself and your family out of debt has always been important to a sound family
02:04:16.340
budget, but I think you'll agree it's now crucial.
02:04:18.640
This economy is accelerating fast towards chaos, and you don't want to have a bunch of
02:04:25.700
Obviously, you know, cut the bills where you are spending a bunch of extra money, like
02:04:31.680
You're probably already paying 15, if you're lucky, 20, 22 percent.
02:04:36.040
Credit card rates are variable, and you're only going to.
