00:01:04.620 We're going to be starting here in just a few seconds.

00:01:21.200 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:40.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:44.440 Today featuring Pat and Stu. A lot to get into. She's there was such an agonizing speech from

00:01:54.860 Joe Biden, who was awful on so many different things yesterday.

00:02:02.400 We'll tell you about that. Share some of it with you. Coming up in 60 seconds.

00:02:05.920 So if you're a fiscally responsible homeowner, you, of course, need to know that there's no reason

00:02:19.180 that you can't be paying a better rate on your mortgage. All the time we talk about this mortgage

00:02:25.480 rates are at all time lows. We talk about it in the news. We talk about it all the time because

00:02:29.520 it's been historic. We're at a period where you can't possibly believe how long these rates have

00:02:33.940 been low. And then you see that we're spending trillions and trillions of dollars. How long do

00:02:37.560 you think they're going to stay that way? These rates are not going to last forever. But if you

00:02:42.440 don't do something, you are going to you're going to regret it. There's a lot of money at stake here

00:02:47.460 for you. It could be hundreds or even as much as thousands of dollars per month. Imagine what that

00:02:52.380 could mean for your family. You you know, as well as I do, that percentage rates on credit card

00:02:57.560 debt are usually highway robbery. Why not knock all that out and focus your debt in one low

00:03:01.700 percentage area with a consolidation loan? American financing can do this for you.

00:03:20.640 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn. 888-727-BECK is the phone number if you'd like to get involved in the

00:03:37.520 show. Yesterday, there was I Joe Biden didn't used to infuriate me quite as much as he does now.

00:03:47.180 I mean, he's always irritated me, but it wasn't like listening to Barack Obama, for instance.

00:03:53.680 It is now. I mean, I think he's bought in completely to Marxist theory now. He's just a

00:04:01.240 he's a naked Marxist like the rest of them now. And maybe that's just everybody in leadership in

00:04:06.540 the Democrat Party. Maybe they've all just caved in. But it's agonizing to listen to this infrastructure

00:04:13.680 stuff, as well as the poor being fleeced. Here he is. Todd, did you see much of this speech

00:04:21.580 yesterday?

00:04:22.140 Not much of it, no. I try to avoid and keep my sanity. But it was as the clips I've seen

00:04:28.180 were as agonizing as you'd expect.

00:04:30.480 He's trying to justify spending two and a half trillion dollars right now. And 5% of that

00:04:35.840 is going to infrastructure, to actual infrastructure. So now everything's just infrastructure.

00:04:42.020 Yes.

00:04:42.460 Everything is infrastructure.

00:04:43.740 That was the Kirsten Gillibrand construction yesterday.

00:04:46.900 She got bludgeoned for that.

00:04:49.400 You know, just basically saying, oh, well, health, you know, elder care is infrastructure.

00:04:55.300 Right. Okay.

00:04:55.920 Well, is it? He's listing all things and just saying they're infrastructure, which now the

00:05:02.060 left has decided to say anything they believe is important is infrastructure. Anything they

00:05:08.540 want equals infrastructure, which means that infrastructure has no definition. It's just

00:05:15.260 right. It's just, I mean, as far as policy goes, it's just everything.

00:05:19.560 But that's what they do, right? They just what they want when they're up against it. They

00:05:22.700 just change the definition of words. Everything that opposes them is racist, for example.

00:05:27.720 So she got hammered with that a little bit yesterday. Somebody tweeted out, yeah, your

00:05:32.740 mom and my ass are infrastructure.

00:05:35.520 Right. I love that. And Gillibrand's a bit of a dummy.

00:05:40.680 Of course.

00:05:41.440 You know, you could tell in the campaign when she was pressed and people were actually paying

00:05:45.520 attention to her, which does not happen at any other point in her career. He realized she

00:05:51.600 really doesn't have much going on. This is not a this is not a Democratic rising star.

00:05:56.940 This is someone who was able to luck into a seat based on circumstances in a very blue

00:06:03.180 state and doesn't bring much to the table. Anyone who would think that's a good idea to

00:06:08.040 tweet obviously is not not exactly a thinking person.

00:06:12.700 The lights are on, but nobody's home.

00:06:14.780 Yeah. And the lights aren't always on.

00:06:16.160 Yeah, that's true.

00:06:17.120 That is true.

00:06:17.780 We should point out the lights there. There's problems with the lights. There's a short.

00:06:21.040 It's not all. They're not always on, but there's never anyone home.

00:06:24.620 There's rolling blackouts.

00:06:25.720 It's an abandoned cabin in the woods.

00:06:27.580 Yes.

00:06:28.120 And occasionally the lights kind of come on. Maybe it's a really bad, badly placed solar

00:06:32.620 panel keeping the lights on. It's under a lot of shade.

00:06:36.760 Yep.

00:06:37.000 Maybe occasionally a streak of light hits that solar panel, keep the lights go on for four

00:06:41.460 or five minutes that night. But that's about it.

00:06:43.340 But because they're trying to sell this tax increase to pay for this two and a half trillion

00:06:48.520 dollar bill, which wasn't it two trillion just a week ago?

00:06:51.960 Yeah. Now it's two and a half.

00:06:52.980 Two and a half already. Well, this is what happens, though. By the time they're done with

00:06:56.700 it, I'll bet you it'll be three. Yeah, it'll be three trillion.

00:07:00.700 So here is Biden trying to convince us that the poor are being fleeced.

00:07:05.680 We're going to raise the corporate tax rate. It was 35 percent for the longest time.

00:07:13.620 That wasn't good.

00:07:14.960 Which was too high.

00:07:16.840 Yes.

00:07:17.240 Barack and I thought it was too high during our administration.

00:07:19.440 Did you?

00:07:20.200 We all agreed five years ago that it should come down somewhat.

00:07:24.800 But the previous administration reduced it all the way down to 21 percent.

00:07:28.400 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:29.320 What I'm proposing is that we meet in the middle.

00:07:32.560 Huh?

00:07:33.440 Twenty eight percent.

00:07:34.600 Right.

00:07:35.680 Twenty eight percent would still have lower corporate rates than any time between World

00:07:40.440 War Two and twenty seventeen.

00:07:43.060 Pause it for a second.

00:07:45.360 We're not competing with ourselves from the past.

00:07:48.100 What we're competing with is the rest of the world.

00:07:51.020 Well, no, there's some companies, though, that were like, we were thinking about taking

00:07:54.160 the 1965 tax rate from the United States and executing that.

00:07:59.000 Yeah.

00:07:59.340 They're not allowed to do that.

00:08:00.200 No, they're they could do that, I guess.

00:08:02.700 You know, if a Belgian company wanted to increase their corporate rate to what ours was in 1965,

00:08:09.720 they could.

00:08:11.680 It just wouldn't be intelligent.

00:08:13.320 What we're competing with are our companies who are paying 15 percent corporate tax rates.

00:08:20.960 I mean, ours has traditionally been one of the highest, if not the highest corporate tax rate

00:08:26.680 in the world.

00:08:27.380 And we're supposed to be capitalists.

00:08:29.120 We're supposed to be free market people.

00:08:32.000 And and so this argument is just completely unrelated to the problem at hand.

00:08:40.780 And it's ridiculous.

00:08:42.320 And this really does put it's not as high as 35, as he points out.

00:08:45.640 But 28 would still put it right back up at one of the highest in the world again.

00:08:49.720 Yes.

00:08:49.880 We would have the same problem.

00:08:50.960 And you'd probably lose corporations again because of it.

00:08:53.700 Yeah.

00:08:54.480 It really is unfortunate.

00:08:55.780 I mean, the 21 percent income tax rate showed real signs of of making these companies grow.

00:09:04.320 And and and it did seem to induce a raging economy before the coronavirus hit.

00:09:11.560 Now, I didn't have enough time before covid for us to know the full impact of it.

00:09:16.220 I don't know.

00:09:16.840 I mean, I don't even know what we knew that.

00:09:18.660 Remember, these are long term plans.

00:09:20.900 And this is the biggest sin of this overall in that companies can't plan for the stuff because

00:09:27.780 every every two years, then the new administration comes in and starts screwing with these rates.

00:09:32.600 Companies can't plan.

00:09:33.380 And they don't want to deal with one of the big one of the big upsides of having your company

00:09:37.720 in America, supposedly, is stability.

00:09:40.160 Right.

00:09:40.740 Right.

00:09:41.080 A lot of companies are willing to pay a little bit higher rate because they realize, OK,

00:09:46.100 this is a stable country.

00:09:47.600 They understand that capitalism is important.

00:09:50.040 They're the people who kind of brought it to us.

00:09:51.460 So they're not it's not going anywhere.

00:09:52.760 Well, that's not the case anymore.

00:09:54.220 I mean, they can't look at this country fairly and honestly and tell their shareholders,

00:09:58.340 oh, there's no big deal.

00:09:59.680 This is fine.

00:10:00.600 You have people who are who have the entire zeitgeist of the left, people like AOC, who

00:10:11.080 are basically begging for capitalism to go away completely.

00:10:15.180 So you no longer have that sort of stability.

00:10:18.020 These are not these are not fringe members.

00:10:20.380 These are the people leading the media coverage on a daily basis.

00:10:23.440 And obviously, you see with the spending that's going on right now, they've had real impact.

00:10:29.940 We've talked about this before, but Barack Obama was terrified of getting to one trillion

00:10:35.280 dollars on his big plans, including Obamacare.

00:10:38.720 They did everything they could to lie and say it was under a trillion dollars because they

00:10:42.820 were terrified of what the American people would think.

00:10:44.940 That fear is long gone.

00:10:45.980 It's long gone.

00:10:46.700 Yeah.

00:10:46.920 Two, three, four.

00:10:48.200 I mean, just we just said two trillion to two, two and a half trillion.

00:10:53.100 That's almost the entire stimulus bill from Barack Obama.

00:10:56.960 Just that just the change we didn't notice in the last week.

00:11:00.600 Like, oh, it was two trillion dollar package.

00:11:02.320 Now it's a two point five trillion dollar package.

00:11:04.080 I mean, that's, you know, two thirds of what Barack Obama wanted to spend for the big bailout

00:11:11.740 and infrastructure spend back in in 2009.

00:11:16.520 Yeah.

00:11:17.140 There's no shame anymore in this stuff.

00:11:19.740 It's just print, print, print, spend, spend, spend, you know, new restrictions, new seemingly

00:11:25.860 unconstitutional laws and rules.

00:11:28.540 No one seems to care right now.

00:11:30.360 And he had a lot more to say about it.

00:11:31.820 It will generate over a trillion dollars in taxes over 15 years.

00:11:40.040 Why would you?

00:11:40.420 New independent study put out last week found that at least 55 of our largest corporations

00:11:45.880 lose the very, you use the various loopholes to pay zero federal tax income tax in 2020.

00:11:53.280 So dishonest.

00:11:54.980 It's just not fair.

00:11:56.980 It's not fair to the rest of the American taxpayers.

00:11:59.240 We're going to try to put an end to this.

00:12:04.600 Not fleece them.

00:12:08.160 28%.

00:12:08.600 Of course.

00:12:11.140 If you're a mom and dad, a cop, firefighter, police officer, et cetera, you're paying close

00:12:16.340 to that in your income tax.

00:12:17.620 I've also proposed a global minimum tax, which is being proposed around the world for U.S.

00:12:24.780 corporations at 21%.

00:12:26.300 Let me tell you what that means.

00:12:28.040 20 pun percent.

00:12:28.820 It means that a comment.

00:12:30.040 Pat, 20 pun percent is the wrong percentage.

00:12:32.480 I think it is, too.

00:12:33.320 I think it is.

00:12:34.000 20 pun percent?

00:12:35.840 Yeah, I don't even know what to say about 20 pun percent.

00:12:38.320 Yeah, I feel almost speechless of my commentary on 20 pun percent.

00:12:43.280 I don't know exactly how to.

00:12:45.680 It feels wrong.

00:12:46.800 But other than that, I can't describe why it's wrong.

00:12:49.280 So here's what he's proposing that you're.

00:12:51.000 Wait.

00:12:51.520 OK, so you're raising the corporate tax rate to 28 percent.

00:12:55.540 Now you're going to also add a 21 percent global tax.

00:12:58.680 Is that what he's saying?

00:12:59.660 Well, a minimum tax.

00:13:00.800 A minimum.

00:13:01.640 21 percent.

00:13:02.380 21.

00:13:02.640 The idea being that everyone else needs to raise their rates.

00:13:05.540 Who administers that?

00:13:05.940 Right.

00:13:06.420 Who administers the global tax to every corporation in the world?

00:13:11.340 There is no such.

00:13:12.600 There's no such entity.

00:13:13.620 There's no entity that can do that.

00:13:15.300 Right.

00:13:15.700 I mean, and the concept is.

00:13:18.800 It's basically a confirmation of what we were just talking about.

00:13:23.200 They know.

00:13:24.620 That we're going to lose corporations.

00:13:25.760 These companies keep lowering.

00:13:27.480 These countries keep lowering their rates to get companies to go there.

00:13:30.500 Yep.

00:13:30.600 So we need to.

00:13:31.960 What if we stopped the competition?

00:13:33.500 It's like basically saying, like, McDonald's wants to charge five dollars for the Big Mac.

00:13:37.080 And they're like, what if we propose a global fast food burger price?

00:13:41.760 You can't go under 485.

00:13:44.060 Well, then they'd be really competitive, I guess.

00:13:46.100 Right.

00:13:46.380 Because they'd only be 15 cents more.

00:13:48.560 Yeah.

00:13:48.800 Burger King is forced to charge 485 for their.

00:13:52.680 Yes.

00:13:53.720 Now you're not going to lose that many customers.

00:13:55.840 Right.

00:13:56.080 Burger King.

00:13:56.680 Right.

00:13:56.880 They're not going to.

00:13:57.440 The cost isn't going to be an issue.

00:13:59.340 And that's what he's proposing here.

00:14:00.680 It's completely.

00:14:01.600 It's embarrassing.

00:14:02.780 And it's unconstitutional, I'm sure.

00:14:04.800 And it's also.

00:14:05.540 Well, I don't know if it's unconstitutional because it seems like it's just a big.

00:14:08.960 They're just hoping everyone does it type of thing.

00:14:11.860 It's like it's not like we.

00:14:13.000 We certainly can't implement it on these other countries.

00:14:15.520 Through the G20, though.

00:14:16.480 They're going to try to force.

00:14:17.560 They're going to try to force it through.

00:14:19.540 Now we'll see how that we'll see how the structure that comes down.

00:14:22.980 But did you also notice the sleight of hand at the beginning of that clip?

00:14:26.220 When you do one of these bills, have we not been around for a while here?

00:14:29.940 When you do one of these bills, you talk about how much it costs and how much taxes are going

00:14:33.860 to be raised in 10 years.

00:14:35.780 Right.

00:14:36.280 Right.

00:14:36.700 Yes.

00:14:36.980 Why is he talking about how much is going to raise in 15 years?

00:14:40.000 Well, the reason for that is he knows he even knows with his crappy projections,

00:14:44.500 they can't get this to work by saying 10 years of taxes will pay for it.

00:14:48.280 So what they have done is they're talking about 15 years of taxes to pay for eight years

00:14:54.320 of spending.

00:14:55.880 15 years of taxes to pay for eight years of spending.

00:14:58.600 Therefore, it's quote unquote paid for.

00:15:00.720 It's so disingenuous.

00:15:03.080 That is incredible.

00:15:04.200 And you'll hear.

00:15:05.580 I mean, that's why he's talking about 15 years, because that is legitimately in the bill.

00:15:10.540 They know they can't pay for it.

00:15:12.400 So they're just going to screw with the year.

00:15:14.820 They're going to keep the the cost on the board for 15 years and the spending on the

00:15:19.860 board for eight years.

00:15:20.540 Now, as we all know, as if we're complete idiots at the end of that eight years, all

00:15:27.480 of these things are going to be extended.

00:15:29.640 So you're going to get 15 years of spending and you're going to 15 years of taxes won't

00:15:34.840 cover it.

00:15:35.900 15 years of taxes only covers eight years of spending.

00:15:38.240 So then we're going to have to raise taxes again.

00:15:40.620 They're telling you not at the end of 15 years, but before that.

00:15:44.340 Oh, yeah.

00:15:44.960 After eight, they'll they'll ask for another tax.

00:15:47.420 The second they can is the real answer.

00:15:49.140 The second they get them raised, they'll do it again.

00:15:51.120 And they'll just look, we have this great thing and it did so much good.

00:15:54.000 But, you know, the Republicans wouldn't let us go to 35 percent.

00:15:57.840 They said it was too high.

00:15:59.280 Wait a minute.

00:15:59.700 Did you say it was too high, Joe?

00:16:01.420 They'll just forget about that.

00:16:02.660 You will remember that.

00:16:03.780 Yeah.

00:16:04.080 I mean, he doesn't remember it now, let alone in eight years.

00:16:06.980 He had much more to say.

00:16:08.420 We'll get to it coming up in 60 seconds.

00:16:12.220 All right.

00:16:12.780 Spring is here.

00:16:13.400 It means the grass has started to grow again and you're out there mowing again.

00:16:19.020 You may or may not like that.

00:16:20.680 I know I was a kid.

00:16:21.660 I did not like it.

00:16:22.500 I was miserable mowing the lawn.

00:16:24.720 You can always try to get a kid from your neighborhood to do it and then he'll hate you

00:16:27.540 and I'll start egging your house on mischief night.

00:16:29.880 There's that going on.

00:16:30.880 But if you want to actually enjoy mowing your lawn, I never had a Hustler turf mower.

00:16:36.500 I had nothing like it.

00:16:38.060 I had like the $8 mower that was found on the side of the road and it was not a good experience.

00:16:45.520 Hustler invented the zero turn lawn mower and now they started doing it basically for like big corporations.

00:16:51.800 And, you know, you're talking about maybe mowing the median of a highway, right?

00:16:57.520 Like these, you know, big industrial jobs.

00:16:59.920 Well, now Hustler is bringing that same technology to you and your home.

00:17:03.600 If you want to enjoy mowing your lawn again, you need Hustler turf to be part of the picture.

00:17:08.000 When you A, B compare a Hustler to the competition, you'll find out that there is no competition to begin with.

00:17:13.260 Before you buy some other mower, do me a favor, find a Hustler dealer and just go test drive one.

00:17:18.320 HustlerTurf.com.

00:17:19.820 HustlerTurf.com.

00:17:21.140 Go take a test drive now.

00:17:23.240 HustlerTurf.com.

00:17:24.460 10 seconds.

00:17:24.960 Station ID.

00:17:29.920 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.

00:17:41.060 You know, the Marxist theory that's being employed here is just too much for me to take.

00:17:45.660 I can't take it.

00:17:47.680 They're just, they're naked Marxists now and they don't care who knows it anymore.

00:17:52.520 And they're just pitting Americans against each other.

00:17:55.340 It's class warfare and they, they wage it so often and so well.

00:18:01.600 Here's more of what Biden had to say about, well, the poor being fleeced and of course,

00:18:07.000 corporations not paying their fair share.

00:18:09.220 Let me tell you what that means.

00:18:11.180 It means that companies aren't going to be able to hide their income in places like the

00:18:16.060 Cayman Islands and Bermuda.

00:18:18.820 In tax havens.

00:18:20.060 We're going to also eliminate deductions used by corporations for offshoring jobs and shifting

00:18:25.840 assets overseas.

00:18:26.900 They offshore the jobs, shift the assets overseas, and then don't have to pay taxes on all they

00:18:30.760 make.

00:18:32.040 There.

00:18:33.440 Oh, good timing of that word.

00:18:34.820 We'll significantly ramp up IRS enforcement against corporations and the super wealthy who

00:18:40.540 either failed to report their income or underreported.

00:18:44.400 Estimated that would raise tens of billions of dollars.

00:18:46.680 It adds up to more than what I proposed in just 15 years.

00:18:52.520 In just 15 years.

00:18:54.120 It's honest.

00:18:55.220 It's fair.

00:18:55.900 It's fiscally responsible.

00:18:57.320 None of those things.

00:18:58.260 And it pays for what we need and reduces the debt over the long haul.

00:19:03.380 And by the way.

00:19:04.200 By the way.

00:19:05.180 I didn't hear any of our friends who are criticizing this plan say that the corporate tax cut,

00:19:10.560 which added $2 trillion of the debt.

00:19:12.740 I hate that.

00:19:13.360 The Trump tax cut.

00:19:14.740 No, it didn't.

00:19:15.280 $2 trillion.

00:19:15.760 No.

00:19:16.200 $1.9 trillion in debt.

00:19:17.820 Pause it again for a second.

00:19:18.800 No.

00:19:19.220 Okay.

00:19:19.400 When you give somebody a tax cut, that doesn't add to debt.

00:19:23.520 What that usually does is bring in more revenue for the government because people do better

00:19:30.800 when they pay lower taxes.

00:19:32.920 And so you have more money, which is taxed at a rate that you were paying before, but

00:19:39.660 now you're making more money.

00:19:40.580 So you're actually paying more money into the federal tax system.

00:19:44.820 And you will hear online, little people have been, that claim has been debunked.

00:19:48.340 It hasn't been debunked.

00:19:49.180 No, it hasn't.

00:19:49.560 It's happened every single time.

00:19:50.880 It's been tried.

00:19:51.300 Every time.

00:19:51.680 The issue with what they're doing is they're comparing it to a theoretical number.

00:19:56.380 How much money would they get if these tax cuts weren't passed?

00:20:01.060 They're saying like, okay, well, if we got, like if you're making, if we're bringing a

00:20:05.520 trillion dollars in and you lower the taxes and the next year you bring in $1.2 trillion,

00:20:09.180 just making these numbers up.

00:20:10.120 Uh, they would say, well, you could have had $1.3 trillion if you just kept the rates

00:20:17.440 where they were.

00:20:18.320 Now, of course, that's a theoretical counterfactual that we don't know.

00:20:22.160 I mean, no one can say that for sure.

00:20:24.160 But even if it's true, you're getting more money than you got in real terms.

00:20:28.460 Right.

00:20:28.660 More dollars have come in.

00:20:30.160 Yeah.

00:20:30.400 And you should be able to run your, your budget on that number.

00:20:34.560 Instead, they said, well, we could have even had more to spend even more.

00:20:37.060 But the, the whole theory is based on the fact that the government thinks it's their

00:20:41.840 money to begin with and that they're giving you their money.

00:20:47.140 No, it's the corporation's money and you're just taking less of it.

00:20:52.200 You didn't have it to begin with.

00:20:54.220 How could it add to the debt?

00:20:56.540 Well, it doesn't.

00:20:57.980 All right.

00:20:58.240 There was more agonizing nonsense from it.

00:21:00.820 It wasn't paid for.

00:21:02.700 The vast majority of which went to the top 1% of the wage earners.

00:21:07.680 Okay.

00:21:08.100 Everybody got a tax cut.

00:21:09.460 Everybody.

00:21:10.000 In this recovery, the so-called before I became president, this K-shaped recovery.

00:21:15.760 Where billionaires made $300 billion more during this period.

00:21:20.260 Where's the outrage there?

00:21:22.380 Why would I be outraged by that?

00:21:23.940 Why would I care?

00:21:25.000 I want other people to do poorly.

00:21:27.140 I am outraged.

00:21:28.320 I want people to have bad news in their life.

00:21:30.860 Yeah, right.

00:21:31.360 I don't even understand this.

00:21:32.280 By the way, what was it, 2017 we had that tax cut?

00:21:35.400 $3.32 trillion were our income from taxes in 2017.

00:21:41.480 Okay.

00:21:41.980 2019, $3.46 trillion.

00:21:44.340 So, you went from $3.32 to $3.46.

00:21:46.700 Now, they would say, well, you could have had $3.56.

00:21:49.760 But, like, we went up $3.32 trillion to $3.46 trillion in that time since the tax cut.

00:21:58.820 Up again.

00:21:59.660 And by up, you mean down?

00:22:01.320 We lost a whole bunch of money?

00:22:02.680 No.

00:22:03.060 Is that what you really mean?

00:22:03.600 By up, I mean we had more revenue after the tax cut.

00:22:06.940 So, it did not cost us $1.9 trillion.

00:22:09.420 It's a ridiculous narrative.

00:22:11.500 It's not true.

00:22:13.220 They're just comparing it to this theoretical world where different rates existed.

00:22:18.540 And I'm sorry.

00:22:20.240 Like, if you were saying it went from $3.32 trillion to $2 trillion, you could say, okay,

00:22:26.680 well, we've really cut the revenue coming into the government.

00:22:28.620 We have more revenue coming into the government, at least until the pandemic.

00:22:33.320 And we don't know.

00:22:34.560 It looks like that's going to go up again, by the way, in the pandemic.

00:22:36.640 They're estimating it's going to be up around $3.7 trillion for the pandemic year.

00:22:41.640 That's amazing.

00:22:42.420 Which is mystifying.

00:22:43.100 Yeah.

00:22:43.440 It's amazing.

00:22:44.280 It's a really, really strange world we live in.

00:22:46.160 But the bottom line, this is all built on lies to justify these policies that they want.

00:22:50.720 They want more of your life, more of your money, more of your control, more control over you.

00:22:56.120 And that's the end game here.

00:22:59.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:23:02.920 Well, if you own a timeshare, chances are pretty good here in 2021 that you're ready to get out of it.

00:23:07.720 You probably weren't using it the whole time in the first place.

00:23:10.100 And with COVID, well, that probably drove that number of uses down to zero.

00:23:15.320 Here's the thing.

00:23:15.980 There are quite a few businesses out there that will claim they can get you out of a timeshare.

00:23:19.760 But most of them don't because most of them don't have a team of attorneys and paralegals whose only job is to get you out legally.

00:23:28.120 This is a group of attorneys.

00:23:30.280 That's it.

00:23:31.120 You know who has that group of attorneys?

00:23:33.080 Timeshare Termination Team.

00:24:06.580 There's much more after the break on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:09.820 Patents do for Glenn.

00:24:16.100 888-727-BECK.

00:24:18.860 You know, it came out last week or the week before that of this $2.5 trillion infrastructure bill.

00:24:26.520 5% of it is actually going to infrastructure.

00:24:30.520 So.

00:24:31.060 It's not 0%.

00:24:32.100 It's not 0.

00:24:33.180 No.

00:24:33.600 Could be 0%.

00:24:34.800 They could have made it negative percentage at points.

00:24:38.400 They could have.

00:24:38.860 We don't know.

00:24:39.820 I don't know how they would have done that, but I suppose they could have.

00:24:43.840 They would have had to take money from bridges.

00:24:46.580 So they would.

00:24:47.360 I guess that means that like if there's a toll bridge, they would get all the money from it,

00:24:51.940 which they probably do anyway.

00:24:53.120 Yeah.

00:24:53.460 Yes, they do.

00:24:54.520 Yeah, I think they do.

00:24:56.180 So because it came out that 5% of infrastructure is going to infrastructure,

00:25:02.480 they now are claiming that infrastructure is everything.

00:25:06.140 It's daycare.

00:25:07.140 It's daycare.

00:25:08.600 It's health care.

00:25:10.520 It's the climate change.

00:25:11.940 All of it's infrastructure now.

00:25:13.780 And that's the point that Joe is kind of trying to make here where he tells us that infrastructure is more than just roads.

00:25:20.100 It's more than that.

00:25:20.720 Will you have failed on your promise of bipartisanship if you don't get Republicans on board with this plan?

00:25:26.440 Your first plan passed along the party line.

00:25:28.380 Look, what I said was I would try to work with my friends on the other side.

00:25:35.980 Why are you whispering, Joe?

00:25:37.640 There are things we're working on together, some of which we pass and some we will pass.

00:25:43.020 But the last plan, I laid out what was available, what I was suggesting, and how I'd deal with it.

00:25:52.040 Yeah.

00:25:52.220 And a bipartisan group came to see me.

00:25:57.020 And then the Republican group came to see me.

00:26:00.360 And they started off at $600 billion.

00:26:03.700 And that was it.

00:26:05.480 That was it.

00:26:06.040 If they'd come forward with a plan that did the bulk of it, and it was a billion, three or four, two or three, that allowed me to have pieces of all that was in there, I would have been prepared to compromise.

00:26:20.680 But they didn't.

00:26:21.640 They didn't move an inch.

00:26:23.960 Not an inch.

00:26:25.640 But, for example, I am dealing with a bipartisan group that came to see me.

00:26:30.480 Now it's about, what, three, four weeks ago when they came about computer chips and about, and they said, look, we have to have our own supply.

00:26:39.440 We have to work together.

00:26:40.760 We're working on that.

00:26:42.240 Chuck Schumer and I think McConnell are about to introduce a bill along those lines.

00:26:47.040 So I'm prepared to work.

00:26:48.920 I really am.

00:26:50.120 It really is.

00:26:51.140 But to automatically say that the only thing that's infrastructure is a highway, a bridge, whatever, that's just not rational.

00:26:58.940 Well, it's not even rational.

00:27:02.280 Okay.

00:27:03.660 To say that infrastructure is just infrastructure, it's not rational.

00:27:12.940 May I have my pudding now?

00:27:15.980 No.

00:27:17.180 This is, you'll see here I have some pudding.

00:27:21.040 To say pudding is the only thing that's pudding.

00:27:24.560 It's also infrastructure.

00:27:26.060 It's also soup.

00:27:26.960 Pudding is infrastructure and soup.

00:27:29.380 Pudding is infrastructure.

00:27:30.880 Pudding is soup.

00:27:32.380 Pudding is pretzels.

00:27:35.380 It's all pudding.

00:27:37.560 Why can't we just have a pudding plan we all agree on?

00:27:41.580 So when your argument isn't making any sense, you just change the meaning of your argument.

00:27:46.980 That's what they're doing.

00:27:47.800 And by the way, the infrastructure thing was, if anyone defined it, it was the Biden-Obama administration.

00:27:53.700 Because they kept saying crumbling roads and bridges, crumbling roads and bridges.

00:27:56.680 That was their mantra for years.

00:27:59.900 For years.

00:28:00.540 And now that they have all this money, they could get up to $1.2 billion, I guess, is all he wanted.

00:28:07.400 Which is weird, because if they offered $600 billion and then you wanted $1.2 billion, why wouldn't you take that?

00:28:12.380 Hard to understand.

00:28:13.720 It's almost as if every time he speaks, he makes a terrible mistake.

00:28:17.120 Which, I don't know what that signifies, Pat.

00:28:20.000 I can't think of why that would occur with an older gentleman.

00:28:23.900 That maybe every time he spoke, he said the number completely wrong.

00:28:28.220 You know what it is?

00:28:29.040 What?

00:28:29.900 It's crumbling infrastructure.

00:28:31.580 It is.

00:28:31.940 That's what it is.

00:28:32.900 His dementia is infrastructure.

00:28:34.720 Yes.

00:28:35.140 That's one of the things we need to understand.

00:28:37.940 First of all, his telling of the story is...

00:28:41.480 Ridiculous.

00:28:42.180 Tons of reporting that disagree with it.

00:28:44.520 I mean, if your point is, they came to you with $600 billion, but you would have taken $1.2 trillion,

00:28:50.400 why didn't you, I don't know, offer $1.2 trillion and see if they'd take it?

00:28:54.780 Right?

00:28:55.000 And maybe they wouldn't, but you could say, we came all the way down from $1.9 to $1.2.

00:28:59.140 They didn't do that.

00:29:00.240 They kept it at $1.9 the whole time.

00:29:03.100 They just said, well, we didn't like your initial offers, so we're not going to counter.

00:29:06.500 That was essentially how that went down.

00:29:08.200 And why should they?

00:29:08.940 They're in control, so they don't think they have to.

00:29:11.120 They don't think they have to compromise in any way.

00:29:13.440 They've got two bills.

00:29:14.520 To do whatever they want with.

00:29:15.580 Yeah.

00:29:16.340 And not whatever they want, but whatever they want when it comes to spending and taxation.

00:29:20.920 They can do those, they can get away with those things here with two of these bills

00:29:24.560 because of the reconciliation rules.

00:29:26.400 And they can get it through with 50 votes.

00:29:28.620 And as long as they don't really piss off Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema

00:29:33.140 or one of these other quote-unquote moderate,

00:29:36.160 but would have been almost communist in any other point in our history, senators,

00:29:40.260 then you sit back and you say, okay, well, they can get that through.

00:29:45.520 It's one of those things.

00:29:46.600 Just because of these rules, it's what Trump used for his 2017 tax cut.

00:29:54.620 You can get these things through as president if you have control of everything

00:29:58.340 and you have 50 votes in the Senate.

00:30:00.780 And so he's going to be able to get these things through.

00:30:02.740 It will be shocking if they blow this and can't get another couple trillion dollars spent.

00:30:08.000 It's almost impossible to stop them.

00:30:10.200 It's almost impossible to stop them.

00:30:11.780 Yeah, this is going to happen.

00:30:13.220 It's just going to.

00:30:17.160 It's just...

00:30:18.200 So is there an argument, Pat, for...

00:30:19.640 We can't afford this.

00:30:20.740 Is there an argument for, and I'm just devil's advocate here,

00:30:23.480 because as someone who's on talk radio, I know how I feel about it, right?

00:30:28.660 Like, I want them to just do nothing because I can't stand this entire thing.

00:30:32.200 That might not be the most rational thing.

00:30:33.720 So stepping back, is there an argument to make that Mitt Romney and Lindsey Graham

00:30:41.140 and Susan Collins and whoever else go in there and say,

00:30:45.620 hey, I know you want to spend 2.5.

00:30:47.880 What if we come along on 1.6?

00:30:52.660 And we cut out a lot of this and we don't make it as damaging.

00:30:55.860 And they go along with it to get their quote-unquote bipartisan bill passed

00:31:00.740 and try to minimize the damage.

00:31:02.960 Is there some value to that?

00:31:04.320 I don't know.

00:31:04.840 I mean, it feels...

00:31:07.160 My emotions tell me, screw off.

00:31:10.720 Don't go near these people because they're terrible.

00:31:13.580 But is there an argument to go to them and say,

00:31:17.120 all right, look, not 600 billion because we know they won't go anywhere near that.

00:31:20.700 But you go to them and say, look, we understand infrastructure, yes.

00:31:23.800 We'll do all the infrastructure stuff you want and we'll do half of the other crap you want.

00:31:28.160 Let's just not do all of this.

00:31:29.580 This is obviously too far.

00:31:31.160 Is there any argument in your mind?

00:31:32.840 Oh, sure.

00:31:33.320 I think so.

00:31:34.080 Especially if you could get them to back off the tax increase a little bit.

00:31:36.960 Yeah.

00:31:38.200 If you get something in return.

00:31:39.820 Like instead of saying 28, what about 26, 25?

00:31:43.020 Mm-hmm.

00:31:43.680 You know, this is essentially how the Senate's supposed to operate in some ways, right?

00:31:48.840 Where there's supposed to be some compromise, some deliberation.

00:31:54.120 It's supposed to work like this.

00:31:56.960 That being said, my instinct is to just...

00:32:00.520 You can't trust these guys any further than you can throw them.

00:32:03.480 There's absolutely no reason to believe they will be honorable in this negotiation.

00:32:09.420 But the question is, do you just suck it up and see how much off of this now $2.5 trillion

00:32:16.180 and probably tomorrow $3 trillion you can save?

00:32:19.100 Yeah.

00:32:19.300 I think you could do that.

00:32:20.420 It just won't happen, though.

00:32:22.140 Nobody will do that.

00:32:23.840 I don't think they'll even make an effort at doing that.

00:32:26.980 So they're just going to go along and it'll be $2.5 trillion.

00:32:30.040 They just did $1.9 trillion, which is essentially $2 trillion.

00:32:34.440 And now they're going to do another $2.5 trillion.

00:32:38.800 We've never seen the like of it in world history.

00:32:42.220 This kind of spending, this fast.

00:32:45.180 What kind of pace they put us on.

00:32:48.020 This...

00:32:48.620 I mean, talk about being bankrupt.

00:32:50.600 I mean, we were bankrupt a long time ago in reality.

00:32:53.200 But there is no way, when you're raising the deficit at this kind of rate,

00:33:00.720 you can't even pretend like we're ever going to be able to pay this off.

00:33:05.060 Like, I always hear, well, our children and our grandchildren are going to be saddled with this debt.

00:33:10.300 No, they're not.

00:33:11.180 There's no way to pay this off ever.

00:33:13.920 There's no way.

00:33:15.080 Unless you just inflate money so much to where you print up $35 trillion and you say,

00:33:21.040 China, here's yours.

00:33:23.900 IMF, here's yours.

00:33:25.640 And we're done.

00:33:26.820 It worked out really well for the Weimar Republic.

00:33:29.020 Didn't it though?

00:33:29.140 It really led to some really good things.

00:33:30.820 Yeah.

00:33:32.080 Yeah.

00:33:32.580 That wouldn't piss anybody off if you devalue the dollar that badly and then just pay off.

00:33:37.940 But that's the only way you could really do it.

00:33:40.060 We're never going to pay off this debt.

00:33:41.260 And that's part of basically monetary theory, which is something we're basically doing.

00:33:46.640 Again, it's not...

00:33:47.920 We didn't have a big conversation and pass a bill and say, you know what?

00:33:51.280 From now on, we're just going to print and spend however we want.

00:33:54.220 And when the debt comes due, we'll just print more.

00:33:58.140 It's like Lay's potato chips.

00:34:00.060 Eat all you want, we'll make more.

00:34:01.360 Right.

00:34:01.820 Spend all you want, we'll print more.

00:34:03.960 That's what we're doing.

00:34:04.660 It is the Lay's potato chip philosophy of economics.

00:34:07.440 It is.

00:34:08.220 And it's what the Ilhan Omar's and the AOC's want to occur, have been arguing for.

00:34:17.320 And now, here we are, just doing it.

00:34:21.540 What if we didn't have a debate about it and we just tried it?

00:34:25.160 You know, it's a lot.

00:34:26.260 Well, you remember when the reporter, or I think it was a reporter, asked AOC, they were

00:34:31.360 sitting on a stoop in New York City, or maybe it was Brooklyn, I don't know.

00:34:36.280 And he asked her about whether or not you can pay this stuff off.

00:34:42.820 People often say, like, how do you pay for it?

00:34:46.440 And I find the question so puzzling, because how do you pay for something that's more affordable?

00:34:52.320 How do you pay for cheaper rent?

00:34:53.780 How do you pay for it?

00:34:54.500 You just pay for it.

00:34:55.840 You just do.

00:34:58.340 How do you pay for it?

00:34:59.220 You just pay for it.

00:35:00.520 She is almost too smart.

00:35:02.500 Almost too smart.

00:35:03.820 She is almost too smart.

00:35:07.140 You feel like you're talking to some physicist, and you're just like, all right, I don't even

00:35:10.820 understand what you're talking about.

00:35:12.120 Stephen Hawking's sister?

00:35:13.940 It's just so smart to say, how do you pay for it?

00:35:16.420 You just pay for it.

00:35:17.300 You just pay for it.

00:35:18.000 It's almost too brilliant.

00:35:19.400 I can't conceive of the intellectual plane she's on.

00:35:25.060 Right.

00:35:26.060 Right.

00:35:26.460 That's the problem.

00:35:27.300 That's the problem.

00:35:28.180 You're talking to Stephen Hawking, and he's just going on and on about black holes or whatever,

00:35:33.900 and you're just like, I can't even remember.

00:35:34.700 Something in astrophysics, and you don't even know the words that are coming out of his mouth.

00:35:38.180 Are you speaking English?

00:35:39.580 Am I hearing?

00:35:40.760 I don't even know what's going on.

00:35:41.840 Right.

00:35:42.200 She's that smart.

00:35:44.200 But there is a point in that, but that is, she, it's about as much thought as got into

00:35:49.240 modern monetary theory.

00:35:50.820 Like, that is basically, she's as dumb as she is.

00:35:53.760 She's accurately describing it, basically.

00:35:56.620 You go out there, you print as much, you spend as much as you want.

00:35:59.960 When the money comes due, you print that money.

00:36:01.940 And you don't worry about it.

00:36:02.680 And then you redo it.

00:36:03.940 Do it again.

00:36:04.480 And yes, the money inflates eventually, I guess, but you don't, you're, you're no longer

00:36:08.800 concerned with, the two things they're not concerned with, with modern monetary theory

00:36:12.820 are debt and, and inflation.

00:36:16.480 They just, if you, if let's just pretend those things didn't exist.

00:36:19.960 Like, what if you, if you were in a world right now where you had a printing press and you

00:36:23.480 knew there would be no ramifications from the actual debt and you knew you, there are

00:36:27.460 no ramifications from inflation.

00:36:30.060 Why wouldn't you also print money forever?

00:36:33.720 Yes.

00:36:34.040 There's no reason not to.

00:36:35.600 Yep.

00:36:36.060 That's why you don't do it.

00:36:37.600 But they say, well, what if we don't think about those things at all?

00:36:42.000 You know?

00:36:42.640 And maybe it'll work out.

00:36:44.260 Yeah.

00:36:44.760 It's worked out so far.

00:36:45.980 Yeah.

00:36:46.160 So let's try it.

00:36:47.320 Just keep doing it.

00:36:48.640 And then the, the, you know, the conservative answer to that and even the liberal answer

00:36:53.000 to that up until the last couple of years was always, look, there's some limit here,

00:36:57.300 right?

00:36:58.080 At some point.

00:36:59.160 That's completely gone with Democrats.

00:37:00.460 Yeah.

00:37:00.680 And they just don't, they don't, they don't, they don't want to think that.

00:37:02.680 Yeah.

00:37:03.020 We have control of the money supply.

00:37:04.400 What do you mean there's some limit?

00:37:05.340 No, there's not.

00:37:06.020 We just keep printing it.

00:37:06.880 Yep.

00:37:07.480 That is really what they believe.

00:38:28.560 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:38:36.520 888-727-BECK is our phone number.

00:38:40.380 Hey, we're being warned by a top scientist not to try to contact intelligent life out there.

00:38:47.340 You know, we're getting ready to send out a telescope that, you know, it's like the Hubble

00:38:54.280 telescope, except I believe it's 100 times more powerful than Hubble is, and we've seen

00:39:00.740 way out into space with Hubble.

00:39:03.540 So, they're sending this one deep, much deeper into space.

00:39:06.960 I think about a million miles from Earth, and then it's 100 times more powerful than Hubble.

00:39:13.920 So, they expect to see some amazing things, and maybe be able to contact other intelligent

00:39:20.640 life.

00:39:21.200 But this scientist is warning against it, saying, yeah, you might just be inviting our overlords

00:39:28.620 to the planet, so maybe don't do that.

00:39:31.740 I mean, why would the telescope be the problem?

00:39:37.140 I mean, if we were firing lasers randomly into space, you know, nuclear missiles just

00:39:42.080 kind of throwing them out there, I could understand that, maybe.

00:39:44.740 Mm-hmm.

00:39:45.380 A telescope?

00:39:46.480 Are they going to be that?

00:39:47.000 I'm not sure if it comes equipped with some sort of, you know, signal as well.

00:39:53.900 Sure.

00:39:54.260 That it can send out a signal that, hey, we're here, and we're looking around for friends.

00:39:57.540 We'd like to have some friends in the galaxy.

00:39:59.600 If there are overlords, though, they probably would know we're already here.

00:40:02.860 So, is he saying that we're going to alert them, and they'll be like, oh, we need to

00:40:05.320 become overlords of those people?

00:40:06.780 Yes.

00:40:07.340 Okay.

00:40:07.660 That, hey, oh, there's somebody else out there that we haven't taken over yet, so let's just

00:40:12.340 go do that now and take care of it.

00:40:15.360 I personally don't think that would be an issue.

00:40:18.300 I mean, if, you know, we've had all these sightings of UFOs over the years.

00:40:23.340 We haven't been destroyed yet, and you would think if they can get from their place to

00:40:27.340 ours, they've got technology that we can't even fathom, and they could have destroyed

00:40:32.240 us a good long time ago.

00:40:33.300 I don't know what they're waiting for, if that's what their intent was.

00:40:36.640 I mean, look at us.

00:40:37.260 We're begging for it.

00:40:38.580 You know, have you seen the way we act?

00:40:40.400 What more do you have to do?

00:40:41.480 What more do we have to do to be destroyed?

00:40:44.640 Yeah.

00:40:45.000 So anyway, this will be in place by May of 2022, so be afraid.

00:40:50.960 Be very afraid.

00:40:52.420 Well, I will say, if it works out, one thing we will know for sure is its infrastructure.

00:40:57.660 Yes, it is.

00:40:58.680 We know that.

00:40:59.760 Very important part of our infrastructure.

00:41:01.940 Yes.

00:42:30.240 What you are about to hear

00:42:31.340 It's the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:36.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:42.380 Yeah.

00:42:44.900 Featuring Patton Stu today, 888-727-BECK.

00:42:49.780 All kinds of things going on with the border, the immigration situation, completely out of control.

00:42:56.420 You know, you remember the hysteria over Trump locking children in cages.

00:43:04.180 Biden has done that to seven times the number of unaccompanied children.

00:43:12.500 Seven times as many as the peak under Trump.

00:43:16.480 Amazing.

00:43:17.340 That, there's been a vaccine shutdown after some adverse reactions in Colorado.

00:43:23.540 And lots more coming up in 60 seconds.

00:43:26.420 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:30.860 So if you're like most Americans, you probably spend a significant amount of your time thinking about how to make more money or at least, you know, save more money than you currently do.

00:43:40.280 Nothing wrong with that, of course.

00:43:41.540 It's a great idea to be aware of how your financial house is holding up and to be about the business of trying to make it more secure, especially in this current economy, which is incredibly unstable.

00:43:52.500 Well, this is where you need to give American financing a call and let one of their dedicated mortgage specialists help you examine your options.

00:44:01.780 It's possible that you could get a refinance of your mortgage at a much lower rate or that you could bundle all of your debt into a consolidation loan.

00:44:09.340 And you could literally be saving hundreds of dollars a month, maybe as much as $1,000 a month.

00:44:14.260 Think of what an extra 12 grand per year could do for you and your family.

00:44:18.240 For over two decades, American Financing has been helping people just like you find ways to make their finances work for them.

00:44:24.340 Give them a call today.

00:44:25.060 American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

00:44:33.780 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:44:35.760 American Financing, NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:44:52.860 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:55.060 888-727-BECK.

00:44:57.960 Among the other agonizing things Joe Biden said and discussed yesterday,

00:45:04.060 what did you think about the 500,000 charging stations the U.S. government is apparently going to build?

00:45:12.760 Half a million charging stations on behalf of Tesla and GM.

00:45:18.000 Is that what you're doing?

00:45:18.960 Do we have to pay for that?

00:45:20.160 The charging stations are infrastructure.

00:45:23.140 Yes.

00:45:23.840 That's what they'll tell us.

00:45:24.840 You could argue, I guess, that it is, right?

00:45:26.760 I mean, you can't have...

00:45:27.840 Are gas stations infrastructure then?

00:45:29.900 Because how many of those have we built?

00:45:31.760 I mean, if we don't...

00:45:32.480 I think zero.

00:45:33.040 That's not the way that works, right?

00:45:34.340 Yes.

00:45:34.720 Having something that you could identify as infrastructure,

00:45:37.840 one of the biggest weak points, right, of the whole idea of electric cars is there's not charging stations.

00:45:43.880 Yes.

00:45:44.160 So, if we build this infrastructure, then people can buy electric cars.

00:45:48.020 That's the theory behind this.

00:45:49.420 Of course, the other theory behind this is we're going to pay people to buy electric cars.

00:45:54.280 I mean, thousands and thousands of dollars every time someone buys one.

00:45:57.560 Is it still seven grand?

00:45:58.800 I don't know if it's still seven grand.

00:46:00.200 It's moved around a few times.

00:46:01.580 It was expiring at one point.

00:46:03.280 They reinstituted it.

00:46:04.520 I don't know, off the top of my head.

00:46:05.540 I don't plan on buying an electric car.

00:46:06.880 If anybody needs help in their company with their goods and services, it's Tesla and Elon Musk.

00:46:13.640 Poor Elon Musk has no money.

00:46:15.380 Do you know he's fallen to the second richest man in the world?

00:46:17.760 That's sad.

00:46:18.380 He's only number two.

00:46:19.260 He's worth $151 billion is all now.

00:46:21.840 Pathetic.

00:46:22.640 We just instituted a GoFundMe page for him.

00:46:26.740 And we'll be sending people to that site to help out in this time of need for him.

00:46:31.520 Finally.

00:46:32.260 Finally.

00:46:32.780 Finally.

00:46:33.520 Had to be done.

00:46:34.140 I really did.

00:46:36.620 I can't remember the stat now off the top of my head, but it's definitely in the six figures.

00:46:41.840 The average person who buys an electric car or a hybrid is up around $100,000 a year.

00:46:47.260 Well, you sort of have to be because they're expensive cars.

00:46:49.240 They're expensive cars.

00:46:50.280 And they're essentially a signal of your virtue.

00:46:55.040 The number one thing pulled of Prius owners, why did you buy a Prius?

00:47:00.020 Because it says something about me.

00:47:02.600 Although.

00:47:02.980 That was the number one answer.

00:47:05.240 The new Humvee, I think, wouldn't be an altruistic choice for me.

00:47:11.120 I'd like to have that thing.

00:47:11.780 It looks cool.

00:47:12.640 This is an electric.

00:47:13.500 It is beautiful.

00:47:14.040 Electric Hummer.

00:47:15.020 Yeah.

00:47:15.200 And look, we've been on the record.

00:47:18.120 I have no problem with electric cars.

00:47:21.560 Loved them.

00:47:21.940 In fact, when we drove that Tesla, we were both sold on it.

00:47:25.180 Serious.

00:47:25.680 I mean, it was absolutely the fastest car I've ever driven in my life.

00:47:29.460 By far.

00:47:30.080 Yeah.

00:47:30.180 And, you know, it was zero to 60 in something like 2.9 seconds.

00:47:33.180 I mean, it is remarkable how fast it is.

00:47:35.820 It feels like you're in a jet.

00:47:38.220 I am taking off.

00:47:39.560 It's instant.

00:47:40.140 It does.

00:47:40.620 Yeah.

00:47:40.740 It really is an impressive piece of technology and a great thing for someone who wants to

00:47:45.800 buy a $150,000 car.

00:47:48.340 And then they have cheaper versions of it.

00:47:50.480 You can go down and get a, you know, it's still expensive, but not out of the range of,

00:47:58.140 you know, 99%.

00:48:00.140 It's like maybe out of the range of 70% of Americans or 60% of Americans, an expensive-ish

00:48:06.160 sedan that's still a pretty well-performing vehicle.

00:48:09.860 There's nothing wrong.

00:48:10.880 I like the fact that Tesla is doing the things that they're doing.

00:48:14.020 I like the fact that-

00:48:14.880 I do too.

00:48:15.540 You know, I like, I generally like Elon Musk, even though he's totally on the other side

00:48:20.300 of the global warming thing, probably from where I am.

00:48:23.820 I like the things he's doing.

00:48:25.000 He's putting up 18 trillion satellites into space to give us all internet, so you can

00:48:31.380 get high-speed internet in Antarctica.

00:48:33.380 I think that's a cool project.

00:48:35.720 Starlink is the name of that.

00:48:36.840 You've got the SpaceX stuff going on, obviously.

00:48:39.040 You have, you know, he's building, you know, flamethrowers.

00:48:43.620 He's got all sorts of crazy stuff going on, and I like that.

00:48:46.340 But there's no reason for a government to be supporting that nonsense.

00:48:48.880 Like, let him do it.

00:48:49.940 You know, they are doing it.

00:48:51.660 It's become much easier to find a charging station already.

00:48:54.000 Like, already-

00:48:54.640 He's built a lot of them.

00:48:55.680 Yeah.

00:48:56.100 Tesla's built them all over the place.

00:48:57.560 They just want to skip the steps.

00:48:59.320 Yeah.

00:48:59.460 They just want to skip the steps.

00:49:01.400 They want to be able to, what, instead of Elon Musk doing it, and it takes him a long

00:49:05.660 time, and it takes a while to design it, what if the government comes in, steals a bunch

00:49:09.520 of money from other people, prints a bunch of money from other people, and then just does

00:49:14.440 it themselves?

00:49:15.720 And surely the government's going to do it the most efficient way possible.

00:49:18.860 Well, surely there won't be, like, you know, rural area, unused charging stations all over

00:49:27.520 the country if they get away with this.

00:49:30.280 Well, when you're doing a half million, there's going to be lonely charging stations.

00:49:35.560 Oh, yeah.

00:49:36.120 And, you know, it's tough.

00:49:37.540 This is why this is a difficult thing to attempt, right, with electric cars.

00:49:43.340 That's where you need them, right?

00:49:44.920 You don't need them in a big city.

00:49:46.460 You can find them in a big city.

00:49:47.980 They're already, if you're in a big city and you have a Tesla, you can find a charging station

00:49:51.540 most likely.

00:49:52.280 There's one, I go, I take my kids to Pancake Time every week.

00:49:55.540 We do, you know, like a breakfast out, and we go to a place called Original Pancake

00:50:02.920 House here in Dallas, and they have charging stations.

00:50:05.940 Now, I have never seen anyone charging their car in the charging station, but it is at

00:50:11.660 a Pancake Station, a Pancake House in the middle of Texas.

00:50:15.780 There's a freaking place to charge your Tesla.

00:50:18.720 Down the street, there's another, you know, there's a long series of them where you can

00:50:23.620 go charge your Tesla or, I guess, other electric cars.

00:50:26.220 I don't know how consistent, you know, that is.

00:50:31.060 Yeah, if it's compatible with every single EV.

00:50:33.380 I assume it would be, but I don't know the answer to it.

00:50:36.900 I don't plan on buying one anytime soon, but I wouldn't be opposed to it.

00:50:41.840 I mean, you know, it's, again.

00:50:43.080 I wouldn't either.

00:50:43.640 When I can get to 400 miles on a charge, I think I'm in.

00:50:48.360 And they claim to be there.

00:50:50.880 This new Hummer is supposedly 350.

00:50:53.840 Now, I don't know if you have to turn everything off, the radio, and don't use the, you know,

00:50:58.940 big screen in there, and you have to drive really slowly and cautiously in order to

00:51:03.320 make it last 350 miles, but that's pretty good.

00:51:07.640 350 miles, you're getting pretty close to being legitimately doable for the average American.

00:51:13.340 The other issue of just not having a charging station is how long it takes to charge.

00:51:17.520 You know, so you're talking about instead of a four-minute fill-up at a gas station, you're

00:51:22.320 talking 40 minutes or 45 minutes.

00:51:24.620 Yeah.

00:51:24.960 And it's still not fully charged.

00:51:26.500 It's very inconvenient.

00:51:27.680 It is.

00:51:28.340 It's not.

00:51:28.800 Look, it's not perfect.

00:51:30.760 It's come a long way.

00:51:32.360 And you know what?

00:51:33.120 Isn't it great in a way?

00:51:35.120 Forget that.

00:51:35.820 Because I do oppose the money coming from the government to someone like Elon Musk.

00:51:38.700 And I don't know why he doesn't oppose it more, frankly, as a guy who has taken a lot

00:51:44.060 of tough stands.

00:51:44.980 I mean, you see what he's done with COVID over the past year.

00:51:47.960 He's taken a lot of tough stands.

00:51:49.680 I don't know why he likes the money so much.

00:51:52.180 Probably because it's so beneficial to him.

00:51:53.780 Yeah, I mean, I guess it's got to be, but it's still, he seems like the type of person

00:51:57.020 who would be like, I don't care.

00:51:58.380 You know, I'm not taking it.

00:51:59.400 Yeah.

00:51:59.640 But again, he's a big global warming advocate and obviously is not as conservative as sometimes

00:52:04.920 he's made out to be.

00:52:07.220 I don't think you could possibly describe him that way.

00:52:10.100 But that being said, like, here's a guy who's the richest man in the world or the second

00:52:15.180 richest man in the world who basically started this company with the idea that it could very

00:52:20.600 well fail and I might lose a billion dollars on it, but that's okay.

00:52:25.220 And a lot of people thought he was going to.

00:52:26.700 Yeah.

00:52:26.880 And he, and there were points where they almost did.

00:52:28.860 Yeah.

00:52:29.340 Frankly.

00:52:30.000 Yep.

00:52:30.480 But like he just took the risk and then at the other side said, well, I really believe

00:52:34.900 in this whole project.

00:52:35.780 If it fails, it fails.

00:52:36.920 I'm going for it.

00:52:38.420 That is a much more American way of dealing with an issue.

00:52:42.560 Excuse me.

00:52:43.120 Then, hey, we're going to build, you know, 500,000 charging stations around the country

00:52:48.000 and through the government, through people's tax dollars.

00:52:50.840 I mean, I don't have an electric car, Pat.

00:52:53.040 You don't have an electric car.

00:52:54.660 No.

00:52:54.920 No.

00:52:55.240 Right.

00:52:55.520 In fact, I can't think of anyone that I know.

00:52:57.940 I see the Teslas around town sometimes, but I don't know anyone who has an electric

00:53:02.080 car.

00:53:02.580 I don't know anyone who has one.

00:53:04.080 Yeah.

00:53:04.340 That I can think of.

00:53:05.080 So, all of us, everyone in my entire life is going to be paying for charging stations

00:53:12.680 for cars they don't own.

00:53:15.200 That is why it's immoral.

00:53:18.000 Forget, you know, whether it's inefficient and a bad idea.

00:53:22.140 It's immoral because you're just taking money from regular people to give to people whose

00:53:28.840 average income when they purchase these cars is over $100,000 a year.

00:53:34.220 Yeah.

00:53:34.340 So, that's not even a conservative position.

00:53:38.440 The left should be the one outraged by this.

00:53:41.060 And as we're discussing this, I looked up at the monitors that are in the studio, and

00:53:45.800 there's an expert on, I think, CNBC right now talking about how the 500,000 charging stations,

00:53:52.860 that's only 27% of what's going to be needed by 2030.

00:53:57.380 Oh, good.

00:53:57.940 I don't care if it's 1%.

00:53:59.320 Why is the government doing any percent of those that should be needed for these private

00:54:03.660 companies?

00:54:04.000 They should be doing it themselves.

00:54:07.440 They should be doing it.

00:54:08.660 We shouldn't have to pay for it.

00:54:09.880 And what happens is you draw people in who just work this system, right?

00:54:14.020 Like, you're taking advantage of average people who are having to put their tax dollars into

00:54:20.580 these situations, who will not utilize them for a very long time.

00:54:25.540 And who does that benefit?

00:54:26.840 It benefits people like Elon Musk, right?

00:54:29.920 Yeah.

00:54:30.500 Who doesn't need the benefit at this point.

00:54:33.180 But it also benefits, you know, all sorts of smaller people who either bought these cars

00:54:39.800 but are already wealthy, because most people really aren't even attempting to buy a Tesla

00:54:45.100 unless you're at least relatively well off.

00:54:47.340 And it benefits a bunch of rent-seeking companies that will be created to take advantage of this

00:54:53.400 money.

00:54:54.740 You know, this happens every single time these giveaways go on.

00:54:59.800 These companies will jump and just basically say, well, and we've seen it with like these

00:55:04.280 subsidies where people will adjust, will do things that don't even benefit their company

00:55:09.880 because they know if they produce a certain amount of grain for this, you know, magical

00:55:14.820 fuel that is in some energy bill, they know they can collect the government money even though

00:55:20.720 they know none of it's helping anyone.

00:55:23.140 They don't care if it's working or not.

00:55:25.500 But they've decided, they've looked at the bill, they've analyzed the bill, they've realized

00:55:29.200 they can do X, Y, and Z to get cash out of the government because the bill as usual

00:55:33.220 is dumb.

00:55:34.280 So they are able to break in cash for absolutely no benefit whatsoever.

00:55:38.520 This happens every single time one of these bills is passed.

00:55:41.540 And Joe Biden seems to think that, you know, it's his gig just go in there and spend a couple

00:55:45.520 trillion dollars a month and see what happens until people stop him.

00:55:48.900 Well, I don't know.

00:55:49.360 I mean, hopefully there's only one more of these because he has to get 60 votes after this

00:55:55.320 unless they get rid of the filibuster.

00:55:57.200 Right.

00:55:57.720 And that's a big unless.

00:55:58.940 Big unless.

00:55:59.460 They're going to try.

00:56:00.440 I think they're going to try.

00:56:01.320 They're going to need a big event.

00:56:02.300 I mean, Joe Manchin again came out yesterday and said, I'm not, there's no circumstance

00:56:06.140 in which I will get rid of this filibuster or adjust it.

00:56:10.320 Like he's trying to set down an even tougher line.

00:56:12.700 We'll see if it holds up.

00:56:13.900 My guess is you get the right tragedy, the right, you know, extenuating circumstance.

00:56:23.440 And he'll fold.

00:56:24.060 And he'll fold.

00:56:24.840 He'll say, look, we just did not see this coming.

00:56:26.980 I mean, I never imagined a scenario in which the Republicans would do X, Y or Z thing.

00:56:33.160 They probably didn't do.

00:56:34.580 And then you walk it through with 50 votes.

00:56:37.260 It is tough, though.

00:56:38.160 You know, 50 votes is different than 52 or 54.

00:56:41.380 You know, you really can have with a little wiggle room.

00:56:44.160 At least you have room for these guys to occasionally bail.

00:56:47.400 They all have to be completely in unison to get these things through.

00:56:50.500 And that's hard.

00:56:51.520 That is difficult.

00:56:52.160 I mean, it is difficult.

00:56:53.340 Yeah.

00:56:53.700 But they're going to be able to get another couple trillion dollars out of this without a doubt.

00:56:57.600 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:56:59.620 888-727-BECK.

00:57:01.380 We all feel the same sometimes.

00:57:08.660 Like, no matter how much we put into our savings, our cars don't care what that money is for.

00:57:13.680 You know, our cars don't care about our bills, our dream destination, vacation, even the kids' education.

00:57:19.320 Strangely enough, when something breaks, it's always coming out of that fund.

00:57:22.920 And it's always a setback.

00:57:24.020 That's why you should have CarShield.

00:57:26.660 I have CarShield.

00:58:17.860 We must play this feel-good clip.

00:58:24.520 Maybe the feel-good clip of the week, at least.

00:58:28.040 Maybe a month from Sarah Isker.

00:58:30.160 She was actually on a panel on ABC News.

00:58:32.460 And I don't know how this happened.

00:58:34.820 She could have been taken prisoner.

00:58:37.040 And she might be being held somewhere for saying these kinds of things on an ABC television station.

00:58:43.900 But she was talking about the Georgia law, had a couple of great points.

00:58:48.460 Here's Sarah Isker on what's going on with the Georgia law right now.

00:58:52.780 Which is Delta, Coke, etc.

00:58:55.640 These corporations coming out and condemning the Georgia bill, which, as you said, is ridiculous compared to other states.

00:59:01.360 Delaware, Joe Biden's home state, didn't even have early voting in 2020.

00:59:04.700 They won't have it until 2022.

00:59:06.840 Wait, what?

00:59:08.000 They're condemning that.

00:59:09.360 They're condemning this Georgia bill without really understanding it.

00:59:11.560 Joe Biden has been labeled a recidivist liar for what he has said about the bill by the fact-checking organizations.

00:59:17.940 And what about China?

00:59:20.020 We have actual concentration camps going on in China.

00:59:22.900 And these corporations won't say word one about it.

00:59:25.520 And the hypocrisy of that, I think, is very clear to a Republican base that this isn't about whether they feel strongly about a Georgia bill that doesn't do what the Democrats are afraid it will do.

00:59:38.180 That's great.

00:59:38.880 How is it possible that Delaware, that Joe Biden has gotten away with this the whole time?

00:59:43.840 Yep.

00:59:44.240 All during this discussion, their Jim Crow on steroids is what he's calling it.

00:59:51.780 And Delaware doesn't even have early voting?

00:59:54.540 It is remarkable.

00:59:56.680 New York has a lot more restrictive voting as far as early voting goes.

01:00:02.600 Than Georgia?

01:00:02.900 Than Georgia as well.

01:00:04.140 You know, Chuck Schumer's out there railing about this as well.

01:00:07.300 True.

01:00:07.520 Sarah Esker's very smart.

01:00:08.760 She's at the dispatch and she does a lot of great stuff there.

01:00:11.780 And it's important to note these things because the narrative has overwhelmed the facts here.

01:00:18.700 Yeah.

01:00:19.000 You know, it's embarrassing.

01:00:21.920 For a country that should be able to do better, it is embarrassing that this stuff takes hold.

01:00:27.340 And you saw, did you see what the Masters did?

01:00:31.960 No.

01:00:32.340 They were talking about, you know, boycotting the Masters now, which is, of course, in Georgia and happening this week, right?

01:00:37.820 It's this week.

01:00:38.480 I think it starts today.

01:00:39.760 Yeah, it starts today.

01:00:40.800 And, you know, first of all, the Masters famously was like, yeah, man, we don't care if you, wait, you want us to put women in our club?

01:00:47.940 Nah, we don't feel like it.

01:00:48.900 So we're just not going to run any commercials for the next few years.

01:00:51.420 Like, whatever.

01:00:52.160 You want to go ahead, boycott all you want.

01:00:53.660 And then eventually it ends, right?

01:00:55.040 These companies would learn something from the Masters to just say, if you just ignore these people, eventually it usually just goes away.

01:01:02.480 I mean, 99% of the time it just goes away.

01:01:05.300 Stop panicking over tweets, you idiots, is the main message that people should take.

01:01:11.960 But they asked Fred Ridley, he's the chairman of Augusta, about this potential Masters boycott.

01:01:19.000 And he says, I believe, as everyone does in our organization, that the right to vote is fundamental in our democratic society.

01:01:24.840 No one should be disadvantaged in exercising that right.

01:01:26.940 It's critical that all citizens have confidence in the electoral process.

01:01:29.580 I don't think that my opinion on this legislation should shape discussion.

01:01:33.400 I just don't think that's going to be helpful in ultimately reaching a resolution.

01:01:38.580 You're right.

01:01:39.760 Yes.

01:01:40.280 Yes.

01:01:40.900 We don't need to know what the golf guy thinks about this legislation.

01:01:45.720 That's great.

01:01:46.680 Or the soda people.

01:01:47.420 Or the baseball players.

01:01:49.420 None of that matters at all.

01:01:51.180 None of them have read the bill.

01:01:53.480 None of them understand what they're talking about.

01:01:56.380 And we keep acting as if these things make a difference.

01:01:59.260 That's the way you respond to this.

01:02:01.220 Step up and say, you know, what do I know?

01:02:04.840 It's irrelevant what I think of it.

01:02:06.120 What does it matter?

01:02:06.820 Irrelevant.

01:02:07.420 What we're doing today is we're going to hit some balls with sticks.

01:02:10.440 That's what we're going to do.

01:02:11.600 All right?

01:02:13.380 Stop asking me about this nonsense.

01:02:15.660 Look how nice our grass is.

01:02:18.120 That's the right response.

01:02:19.800 And they seem to be the only one capable of giving it.

01:02:22.960 I don't know why more companies.

01:02:24.660 I think it was, there was one company.

01:02:28.140 I can't remember what it was.

01:02:29.520 I'll have to go back and look.

01:02:30.400 It might have been Coinbase, the crypto company.

01:02:33.500 I think it might have been Coinbase.

01:02:34.620 And they were talking, they got into some political thing.

01:02:38.540 And people were trying to, you know, protest this or protest that.

01:02:41.600 And they just said, look, here's our response.

01:02:44.600 We take political positions on cryptocurrency issues.

01:02:48.440 Because we're a cryptocurrency company.

01:02:49.660 If you want to go and talk about other things, you could do them on your own time.

01:02:54.600 It's not part of the company time.

01:02:56.340 Company time is cryptocurrency time.

01:02:58.640 Because we're a cryptocurrency company.

01:03:00.540 And you know what?

01:03:01.320 Maybe we should be dealing with cryptocurrency issues.

01:03:03.760 If there's a cryptocurrency issue that's affected in politics, we'll be sure to talk about that.

01:03:08.460 But if it's about something else other than cryptocurrency, that's not what we do here.

01:03:13.900 How unbelievably refreshing is that?

01:03:17.620 And it makes sense.

01:03:19.260 Yeah, not difficult.

01:03:20.840 That is not hard.

01:03:22.740 You do not need to take a stance on these things.

01:03:24.900 But it does mean you have to stand up to the people that are tweeting you.

01:03:28.200 The 10 people in their underwear in their parents' basement who are tweeting you that they're never going to use your company ever again.

01:03:35.500 Yeah.

01:03:36.300 And God, that is a tough thing.

01:03:39.200 It is.

01:03:39.580 What a hill to have to climb.

01:03:40.920 I guess it is.

01:03:41.900 But I think you can do it.

01:03:43.000 I think you can handle it.

01:03:43.980 And it's amazing the lack of spine that these companies have.

01:03:48.560 Incredible.

01:03:48.920 Just stand up for yourself.

01:05:10.520 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:05:16.420 By the way, thank you for your thoughts and prayers on behalf of Glenn and his family.

01:05:20.600 Very much appreciated.

01:05:22.980 Hopefully, the plan is for him to return on Monday.

01:05:28.360 Problem for Deshaun Watson, who just signed.

01:05:33.180 What was this?

01:05:33.740 Two months ago, maybe?

01:05:35.760 Six months ago.

01:05:36.420 Has it been six months?

01:05:37.500 Six months ago, yeah.

01:05:37.880 Has it been that long?

01:05:39.600 Boy, time flies.

01:05:41.360 But he just signed a $40 million a year deal with the Houston Texans.

01:05:48.360 And now, I would be surprised if he ever plays another down in the NFL.

01:05:54.720 And, you know, I don't know if he's guilty or not, but he should have his day in court before

01:06:00.920 he loses every bit of his livelihood.

01:06:04.300 Nike just dropped him.

01:06:06.420 Which probably, I mean, for most athletes that are high profile, like Deshaun Watson,

01:06:11.200 what is that?

01:06:11.800 $10 million deal a year?

01:06:13.660 $20 million a year?

01:06:14.880 Could be anywhere in that range.

01:06:17.860 So, that's a massive loss in income.

01:06:21.120 And then...

01:06:21.520 And they suspended him, technically, right?

01:06:23.140 They suspended him.

01:06:23.660 They didn't actually fully drop him at this point.

01:06:26.940 Yes.

01:06:27.400 I think it's because there's such little known still about these cases.

01:06:30.640 All we know is this big number with a bunch of blank faces, with the exception of a couple

01:06:36.160 yesterday.

01:06:36.600 And the big number is 22 women have filed, have accused him of sexual assault or harassment

01:06:44.440 in these lawsuits.

01:06:46.000 And I guess, are all of the lawsuits being handled by the same lawyer?

01:06:50.700 If that's the case, then, you know, there could be a lot of piggybacking.

01:06:54.420 There could be a lot of bandwagon jumpers here.

01:06:57.320 I don't know.

01:06:58.340 We'll see.

01:06:59.280 But Ashley Solis is the first to really kind of come out and do a press conference on this.

01:07:05.180 And she talked about surviving this assault and the harassment from Deshaun Watson.

01:07:10.780 I am a survivor of assault and harassment.

01:07:15.060 Deshaun Watson is my assaulter and my harasser.

01:07:20.220 Deshaun Watson assaulted and harassed me on March 30th, 2020, in my own home, doing what

01:07:27.240 I love most, massage therapy.

01:07:38.460 Okay.

01:07:39.440 So, tearful.

01:07:42.820 She seems sincere.

01:07:45.820 I'm kind of surprised that Deshaun Watson went to her house for the massage.

01:07:50.400 Are you?

01:07:50.980 I wouldn't think he would ask them to come to his.

01:07:53.300 Well, you're in the middle of, right at the end, I guess, of 15 days to stop the spread

01:07:58.340 before another 30 days to stop the spread when this happens.

01:08:01.420 So, it's mid.

01:08:02.140 That's right.

01:08:03.280 Also, quite clearly a violation of what the NFL players were supposed to be doing at that

01:08:08.560 point when it comes to COVID, I'm sure.

01:08:10.820 Although, maybe the arrangement wasn't fully put together at that point.

01:08:13.960 So, there was a gray area.

01:08:15.720 Right.

01:08:16.320 But he gets a lot of massage.

01:08:19.760 Deshaun Watson gets a lot of massage.

01:08:22.700 The man loves the massage.

01:08:24.060 Yes, he does.

01:08:24.980 Yeah.

01:08:25.480 I mean, who doesn't?

01:08:26.440 Because even by their telling, there's 18 massage therapists who come out and said,

01:08:31.680 hey, you know, he's actually a really nice guy and didn't do anything unprofessional.

01:08:34.600 Right.

01:08:35.460 That's just a lot of massage therapy.

01:08:37.800 Yes, it is.

01:08:38.540 Which is a considerable amount.

01:08:39.780 From a lot of different people.

01:08:40.980 And they're like, well, people are, athletes are going to get more massages.

01:08:44.900 It's an important part of their treatment, which is true.

01:08:47.640 Though, it does seem like the word from inside the NFL is that it's pretty rare that you want

01:08:51.780 to rotate them like this.

01:08:53.020 Like, you're not going to have tons and tons of different massage therapists.

01:08:57.860 Yeah.

01:08:57.960 You're going to basically have the one from the team, maybe one other.

01:09:01.320 You know, it seems like a more, you're much, and that would be smart, by the way, especially

01:09:04.940 if you're Deshaun Watson.

01:09:05.820 The last thing you want to do is be getting naked with a bunch of people and getting touched

01:09:09.400 in a closed room over and over again for this type of thing could happen at any point.

01:09:15.020 Just the threat of that happening should preclude these guys from doing that.

01:09:20.060 Right?

01:09:20.700 You would want somebody you absolutely know and trust.

01:09:24.000 Yep.

01:09:24.160 And that's probably usually somebody with a team.

01:09:27.280 And you always want to witness in there with you at the time because it's just too easy

01:09:32.680 for something weird to happen or be accused of something happening.

01:09:37.920 Uh, but Ashley said she's so upset now she can't any longer practice, uh, massage.

01:09:45.940 No longer practice the profession that I love the most without shaking during the session.

01:09:53.560 My hands shake whenever I place them on a client and I've had to cut session short.

01:10:00.840 If you only knew how heartbreaking that is to me.

01:10:04.640 I got into massage therapy to heal people.

01:10:07.920 To heal their minds and bodies.

01:10:19.180 To bring peace to their souls.

01:10:22.320 Deshaun Watson has robbed me of that.

01:10:25.160 He took that away from me.

01:10:27.200 He tainted a profession in which I take enormous pride.

01:10:30.240 Flashes of Watson's face rush to me in the moment.

01:10:38.320 I think of his genius touching me, which sends me into a tailspin.

01:10:43.120 I suffer from panic attacks, anxiety, and depression.

01:10:48.960 I'm in counseling as a result of Deshaun Watson's actions.

01:10:52.640 I hope he knows how much pain he's inflicted on me emotionally and physically.

01:11:00.440 And I hope he knows how much pain he has inflicted on these other survivors.

01:11:04.960 It's obviously tough to hear.

01:11:08.740 And she's gone through something very traumatic, it seems.

01:11:12.500 It's, uh, and I'm not, this has nothing to do with whether she's telling the truth or not.

01:11:18.100 I don't, I don't know.

01:11:18.760 I wasn't in the room, obviously.

01:11:19.880 I, I do under, I don't understand this tactic, though, from attorneys, right?

01:11:24.780 Like, okay, you have a lawsuit filed.

01:11:28.580 Then, I think it's been now about a month.

01:11:31.640 In that month, obviously, she's, and this is not a, this is not, I am not, like, saying anything wrong, bad about her or anything.

01:11:38.580 But, like, she's obviously been coached through this.

01:11:40.200 She's reading the entire statement word for word.

01:11:42.220 You can tell by the phrasing of what she's saying.

01:11:44.700 It's all specifically designed to elicit the maximum possible financial reward, right?

01:11:53.600 Like, you know, her livelihood has been taken away, right?

01:11:56.200 Her, her joy in life has been taken away.

01:11:58.640 She has very tremendous, and she's going through all of this.

01:12:00.780 And all of this makes sense to me on the stand, on the witness stand.

01:12:07.540 This is exactly what you would expect to see from a witness in a case like this.

01:12:11.360 Why is this happening now, other than you're just trying to, trying to get Deshaun Watson to give you a bunch of money in a settlement, right?

01:12:20.240 Like, I don't know.

01:12:21.580 This is a tactic you see all the time from attorneys.

01:12:24.200 This is not exclusive to her.

01:12:25.460 It's no commentary on whether her story is true or not.

01:12:27.960 It's just, it seems to be a quite, a really transparent tactic to try to elicit a settlement.

01:12:36.580 And maybe, maybe that's all it is.

01:12:39.260 Yeah.

01:12:39.480 But I, you know, I don't know.

01:12:41.200 That's, that, that does feel strange.

01:12:42.740 I would also think that, you know, she talked about coming in contact with his unit.

01:12:48.020 Yes.

01:12:48.620 Um, I would think that when you're a massage therapist working on an athlete and they have a lot of groin area injuries like pulls and tears and whatever.

01:12:57.900 Wouldn't that happen accidentally on a fairly regular basis?

01:13:01.800 I don't know.

01:13:02.360 That's a good question.

01:13:03.020 I don't know.

01:13:03.520 Maybe, maybe there's a massage therapist that could let us know about that if you worked on an athlete or people who, you do groin work for them.

01:13:12.560 Is there a lot of groin work going on with the average massage therapist at their house?

01:13:16.200 I don't think with the average one.

01:13:17.700 I don't think so.

01:13:18.640 I get, she's saying she was assaulted, right?

01:13:20.560 So obviously it's not just contact is maybe the wrong way of phrasing that.

01:13:24.940 Uh, yes, that is what she said.

01:13:27.280 Yeah.

01:13:27.600 I came in contact with it, with it.

01:13:29.540 Uh, but you know, if she's being assaulted, it may have been in a much more traumatic overall environment than, you know, just brushing up.

01:13:35.900 No, that she was raped or anything, right?

01:13:38.200 Is it, am I mistaken in that?

01:13:40.300 I think he just kind of moved it or something.

01:13:44.980 I believe, I thought, there's been, there's 22 accusers.

01:13:48.240 How could one sort them all?

01:13:49.840 I know, but one of the therapists, and I believe it was her, uh, mentioned that he put his, he put her hand on it.

01:13:57.880 Like, okay.

01:13:58.940 Which is again, again, absolutely a crime.

01:14:01.660 Yeah.

01:14:02.240 You know, like, yes, it's inappropriate.

01:14:04.840 Yeah.

01:14:05.100 I mean, it's a criminal.

01:14:06.900 We keep focusing on this because of the danger that has been created by this bizarre precedent of accusation equals guilt.

01:14:14.820 And that's been the focus of, of our analysis of it in some ways, because it's impossible for us to know whether it was true or not.

01:14:22.180 All we know is we have a system set up to decipher whether it's true and we keep not following it.

01:14:27.060 We keep just saying, well, yeah, but like, she seems really, you know, sincere and she does.

01:14:33.460 She seems really sincere.

01:14:34.900 So therefore, you know, guilt, right?

01:14:38.020 Like, and that's just not what our legal system is supposed to be.

01:14:40.680 And that's where I think from a central place, from a systemic focus, that's where our, our attention has been.

01:14:49.740 Though, I mean, these can be, you know, obviously there are terrible people who do terrible things like this.

01:14:53.980 And we don't know if Deshaun Watson is one of them or not.

01:14:58.520 Right.

01:14:58.780 We don't know.

01:14:59.420 Yeah.

01:14:59.640 That's why we have a legal system.

01:15:01.020 It's her word against his right now.

01:15:02.500 That's, that's all we have.

01:15:04.740 Finally, she, she mentioned her father and she says, I believe this is the, the, the worst thing about this.

01:15:11.440 Father who was once a diehard Texans fan can no longer mention his name without turning red, seething with disappointment.

01:15:18.320 I think that that's the most heartbreaking aspect of it all.

01:15:23.220 Most heartbreaking.

01:15:23.760 We were all deceived into thinking Deshaun Watson was a good guy.

01:15:27.960 And unfortunately, we know that good guys can do terrible things.

01:15:33.640 I don't know if this actually happened.

01:15:35.420 The most heartbreaking thing to me wouldn't be whether or not your dad is still a Texans fan.

01:15:40.260 That would be down the list quite a bit for me.

01:15:42.540 Yeah, quite, quite a ways down the list.

01:15:44.660 Yeah, it might be one of the heartbreaking aspects, but it's not the most heartbreaking aspect.

01:15:51.180 I doubt he would describe it that way either.

01:15:53.300 Yeah, for sure.

01:15:54.320 Not, not if he believes his daughter that she was assaulted by Deshaun Watson.

01:15:59.000 You'd want to kill the guy.

01:16:00.140 Yes.

01:16:02.140 So it's, you know, hopefully Deshaun Watson will get his day in court.

01:16:06.780 The problem is I think this is just civil action.

01:16:09.860 I don't think he's being charged criminally at all.

01:16:12.120 Now, I think the Houston Police Department is looking into it.

01:16:16.820 And so charges may be pending sometime, but there are none right now.

01:16:20.960 So he just tries this civilly, which, you know, goes by a whole different set of rules.

01:16:27.200 It just seems to me that the proper approach, we talked about it with the Masters just a minute ago.

01:16:31.740 It's not your job to get in there and decipher, you know, election law.

01:16:35.800 That's not the job of the golf tournament, guys.

01:16:38.320 It's not the job of the soda company.

01:16:40.940 It's not the job of the baseball team.

01:16:44.660 The same thing, at some level, I think that would be a smarter approach for a lot of these leagues to just say, look, we have a legal system.

01:16:51.420 I think the left should be really, really hesitant to get back into this world where accusations equal guilt.

01:17:01.080 That was a real problem.

01:17:03.600 If people remember, you know, we talk about this being Jim Crow 2.0.

01:17:07.040 Well, Jim Crow 1.0 had a lot of this type of stuff in it.

01:17:10.660 That era was filled with African-Americans being falsely accused of sexual assault, and people just believed them because there was a convincing accuser.

01:17:21.780 And a lot of people went to prison, even though they didn't do anything wrong.

01:17:25.200 And here we are now in 2021 with the ultra, you know, open-minded left, and an African-American has been accused of a crime, many crimes.

01:17:36.320 We don't know how many of them are true, but the media seems to want to convict him over this.

01:17:42.160 The only defense I've seen of, and look, it's hard to defend when it's 22.

01:17:46.720 You know, I mean, some of this feels outdated as we have more and more of these accusations have piled up.

01:17:52.640 But we've only heard two of them.

01:17:54.820 We should point that out.

01:17:56.200 The only reason we know 22 names or 22 accusers is because the lawyer keeps telling us there's 22 accusers.

01:18:03.740 Deshaun Watson's own legal team doesn't know who these people are.

01:18:07.600 So are there 22 accusers?

01:18:09.500 Maybe there are.

01:18:11.200 I mean, probably they have somebody, right?

01:18:13.420 But we don't know the level of the accusations.

01:18:15.560 We don't know, you know, did he make a joke that was inappropriate?

01:18:19.820 Did he ask for some sexual contact, and the person refused, and then it ended?

01:18:25.720 We don't know what some of these are.

01:18:27.360 You can guarantee in a pack of 22 that some of them are things like that.

01:18:33.120 Some of them are very minor.

01:18:35.080 Some of them may be completely false.

01:18:36.900 But if any, if something, even if just one of them is true, that is a reason for this to go to court and be, to go through the legal system so we have an actual answer.

01:18:49.680 It is not the football league's job, nor should it be, by the way.

01:18:54.240 No one should want this.

01:18:55.540 You know, if you're on the left, you want the NFL to be judge, jury, and executioner on a league that is 75% African American, and many of them very wealthy, that get accused of stuff all the time that may or may not be true.

01:19:15.780 We've seen lots of shakedowns where the evidence has come out that it's not true.

01:19:19.100 So, this does happen.

01:19:21.680 This is why we have a legal system.

01:19:23.540 Why not use it?

01:19:26.220 By the way, Rusty Hardin, Deshawn's lawyer, claims that this was a shakedown.

01:19:32.100 He claims that her lawyer, Busby, asked him for $100,000 in hush money.

01:19:39.240 So, who knows?

01:19:41.480 It's just, again, due process has to happen for people.

01:19:46.000 We can't be rushing to judgment on every single one of these.

01:19:48.340 888-727-BECK.

01:19:50.580 More patents due for Glenn coming up.

01:19:54.740 All right.

01:19:55.440 If you're a fan of sleek, if you're a fan of durability, if state-of-the-art is the way to your heart, then you're going to love Rectech.

01:20:05.120 This is what your dad's grill always wanted to be when it grew up.

01:20:08.160 With its amazing smart grill technology and its heavy stainless steel form, Rectech is truly a force to be reckoned with.

01:20:14.040 And whether you're cooking up a smorgasbord for that socially distanced shindig in your backyard, or maybe it's not socially distanced, doesn't, you know, who knows what it is.

01:20:24.140 You're maybe just throwing some burgers on the grill for the family.

01:20:26.400 You're going to get the perfect result every single time.

01:20:28.060 And this spring and summer, you can really get ahead of the summer and get ahead of all the heat because you can go and be inside the air conditioning and watch your phone as the perfect temperature hits all of the food you have on your Rectech.

01:20:43.900 It's truly state-of-the-art.

01:20:45.300 You can monitor the entire cooking process from an app on your phone or device.

01:20:49.740 You can go online and see what all the hype is about.

01:20:52.280 You're going to want one of these things for yourself, though.

01:20:53.940 Follow Rectech on all social media and sign up for their newsletter.

01:20:56.640 This is the time to do it.

01:20:57.600 We're getting close to the summer.

01:20:58.920 Things are warming up.

01:21:00.160 Rectech with a Q at the end.

01:21:01.580 R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com.

01:21:03.940 It's Rectech dot com.

01:21:08.000 You are listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:13.900 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:18.820 We haven't talked yet about Sophia Bush, terrific actress, that has said that banning puberty blockers for people, you know, until they get to an age of adulthood, perhaps, that they can make important decisions like that in their life.

01:21:34.480 Sure.

01:21:35.000 It's akin to murder.

01:21:36.680 It's akin to murder.

01:21:39.100 To deny them a puberty blocker.

01:21:42.540 Huh.

01:21:43.900 I don't think that word means what she thinks it means.

01:21:46.240 No, it doesn't.

01:21:47.860 I don't think it does either.

01:21:49.960 Again, this is the left changing, completely reorganizing discussions and changing the meanings of words and things.

01:21:57.920 It's amazing how often it happens.

01:21:59.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:01.620 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:02.900 With Pat and Stu today, the president of the United States is proposing some common sense gun control reforms here.

01:22:18.960 Just common sense.

01:22:20.600 He loves, Joe Biden loves the Second Amendment.

01:22:24.840 He's all about it.

01:22:26.440 These are just common sense reforms is all these are.

01:22:29.000 Joe Biden is dedicated to the future of the Second Amendment.

01:22:32.800 He's got a shotgun.

01:22:33.920 He owns one.

01:22:34.800 Yeah.

01:22:35.280 Just get a shotgun.

01:22:36.700 Get a shotgun.

01:22:37.440 That's all.

01:22:38.500 So we'll tell you about some of these common sense reforms that he's just going to legislate through, well, an executive order.

01:22:46.320 Coming up in 60 seconds.

01:22:51.820 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:53.900 For just a moment, I want you to think about what it would look like to be completely out of debt.

01:22:59.580 In fact, think about what it would be like to have more money to save hundreds, maybe even a thousand a month.

01:23:04.960 When you refinance your mortgage with American financing, that's the exactly sort of type of outcome you could be dealing with.

01:23:11.260 And that's a good outcome.

01:23:12.820 Do you have debts?

01:23:13.820 I mean, 2020 was obviously a very rough year.

01:23:15.580 You're 2021 getting worse.

01:23:18.920 I think the higher the number, the worse the year is the way this works now.

01:23:22.020 And that's not fun.

01:23:23.680 It's good to make sure that you are in a good place financially.

01:23:28.040 American financing can help you with that.

01:23:29.620 Whether you're looking to purchase a home for the first time, whether you're wanting to refinance your mortgage, get the debt under control.

01:23:36.000 Give them a call today.

01:23:36.900 You could be saving hundreds of dollars a month, but it won't happen if you don't start the process.

01:23:40.980 Check it out.

01:23:41.500 They're great people.

01:23:42.160 They can help you work through all of the issues you're dealing with.

01:23:45.520 Give them a call and see what American financing can do for you.

01:23:48.020 Call American financing at 800-906-2440.

01:23:52.020 800-906-2440.

01:23:54.440 Or go to Americanfinancing.net.

01:23:56.320 It's Americanfinancing.net.

01:23:58.160 American financing, NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:24:04.520 So, Biden has come under intense pressure, supposedly, from gun safety advocacy groups and Democrats to fulfill his pledge to tackle gun control.

01:24:27.160 He said he was going to do it on his first day.

01:24:29.380 On the first day in office.

01:24:31.600 On the first day.

01:24:32.820 And he didn't do it on the first day.

01:24:35.780 So, now he's going to take, apparently, six executive actions on guns and gun control.

01:24:43.820 The first is to propose a rule within 30 days to stop the proliferation of ghost guns.

01:24:53.340 Now, are you familiar with ghost guns?

01:24:54.980 I'm not...

01:24:55.620 I don't know what that is.

01:24:56.640 You don't have a ghost gun of your own?

01:24:58.320 I don't.

01:24:58.760 So, ghost guns, basically...

01:25:00.760 Is it a gun you can't see?

01:25:02.820 Yeah.

01:25:03.040 Did you ever see space guns?

01:25:03.720 It's only there in spirit?

01:25:05.280 Yeah.

01:25:05.460 Do you remember space ghost?

01:25:06.340 Yeah.

01:25:06.680 I love space ghost.

01:25:07.680 Space ghost had ghost guns.

01:25:09.040 Oh, okay.

01:25:10.120 Now, they're...

01:25:11.540 And they're not just guns that only work on ghosts, either.

01:25:13.960 People thought, you know, like the Ghostbusters packs.

01:25:16.480 Yeah.

01:25:16.840 It's not that.

01:25:17.340 It's not that either.

01:25:18.480 Ghost guns are basically like...

01:25:20.800 To summarize, I guess, people building their own guns.

01:25:24.420 Right?

01:25:25.020 Like, so that you're able to buy components of a gun, put them together, because they did

01:25:30.080 not go through the traditional manufacturing process.

01:25:32.280 They don't have a serial number.

01:25:32.360 They don't have a serial number.

01:25:33.440 There's no reason you need one in that particular circumstance.

01:25:37.540 And it goes everything.

01:25:38.720 Most...

01:25:39.040 I mean, to act as if this is a problem in our discourse is ridiculous.

01:25:45.280 It's like...

01:25:45.640 It's a very small, small...

01:25:47.060 I mean, small...

01:25:47.840 Do you want to build a firearm?

01:25:49.520 No.

01:25:49.860 Again, people who are...

01:25:51.520 There are a lot of hobbyists who really enjoy doing this, right?

01:25:54.000 It's not just like, you know, criminals.

01:25:55.860 There's a lot of hobbyists who really enjoy doing this.

01:25:58.400 There's a lot of people who just enjoy guns that really like doing things this way.

01:26:03.000 It's like building your own, you know, kitchen table, right?

01:26:07.100 Like, there are people who...

01:26:08.420 That doesn't make any sense to me.

01:26:10.300 There are machines that are building those for me.

01:26:12.360 Why would I go through that process?

01:26:13.680 But some people really get enjoyment out of it.

01:26:16.480 So they do it that way.

01:26:17.540 That's the overwhelming majority of people with this type of situation.

01:26:20.880 You know, it also goes to...

01:26:24.420 Obviously, it could be criminals who can't get guns other ways, could theoretically make

01:26:28.160 it happen this way.

01:26:29.560 There's been a couple of shootings where it appears ghost guns are involved.

01:26:34.320 Again, getting a gun in this country is not really a problem.

01:26:38.440 If you're...

01:26:38.740 Even if you're a criminal and we have a border that's open, basically, for business.

01:26:42.540 So people are...

01:26:44.120 Gleds are flowing over the border all the time and going to criminals all the time.

01:26:47.120 A lot of these murders happen because drug dealers are able to buy illegal guns from

01:26:52.040 other drug dealers and gun dealers.

01:26:54.240 So it's not as if these laws will affect that type of thing.

01:26:57.920 It's just one of those things that I think a lot of people would look at on his face and

01:27:01.720 say, wait a minute.

01:27:02.780 There's no way to trace this.

01:27:04.660 There's no serial number.

01:27:09.100 This should just not happen.

01:27:11.460 This should not be a thing.

01:27:12.940 Look, it's one of those things that I think connects with the average person who's never

01:27:17.300 used a gun, right?

01:27:18.420 It seems wild and crazy.

01:27:21.200 We just live in a country that has a Second Amendment to the Constitution, which clearly

01:27:26.600 states you are not allowed to infringe on these rights.

01:27:30.520 So even...

01:27:31.540 I said the same thing, by the way, just as strongly about Donald Trump's ban on bump

01:27:37.980 stocks, which was blatantly unconstitutional.

01:27:41.120 Now, blatantly, and by the way, has now been already overturned in the courts.

01:27:45.520 You can't just say you want these things to stop and then they stop.

01:27:52.340 That is not our constitutional system of government.

01:27:56.100 You can't just be like, you know what?

01:27:57.320 I don't want our ghost guns.

01:27:59.340 Therefore, we will not have them.

01:28:01.460 I don't want bump stocks.

01:28:03.260 Therefore, we should not have them.

01:28:05.340 That's not a thing in this country.

01:28:07.220 But it is okay to ban the weapons of war that are made only for death, that are made specifically

01:28:13.720 for one purpose and one purpose only, and that's to kill people.

01:28:17.620 That's not what they're used for.

01:28:19.100 The assault weapon ban.

01:28:20.360 That's okay, right?

01:28:21.680 No.

01:28:22.240 Definitely not.

01:28:23.220 I mean, he's not even going to try that by executive order.

01:28:25.680 No, he's not.

01:28:26.120 Fortunately.

01:28:26.220 It seems like, Pat...

01:28:27.680 Because, I mean, the ghost gun thing has had a lot of attention, which is kind of silly.

01:28:31.400 Yeah, does that include the...

01:28:32.900 What was the process, you know, where you copy the gun?

01:28:36.920 It's the...

01:28:37.600 Oh, 3D printing?

01:28:38.420 Yeah, the 3D printing.

01:28:39.540 Does it include 3D printing of guns?

01:28:41.480 That's a good question.

01:28:42.160 I don't know the answer to that.

01:28:43.180 Because our gun guy, I think, would be really upset about that.

01:28:45.500 Who, you know, in whose conception, under what paradigm?

01:28:48.160 Right.

01:28:48.520 Remember that?

01:28:49.280 I'm just resisting.

01:28:50.200 What am I resisting?

01:28:51.300 I don't know.

01:28:51.740 The collectivization of the manufacture?

01:28:53.660 The institutionalization of the human psyche?

01:28:55.900 I'm not sure.

01:28:56.400 I'm sure.

01:28:56.800 But I can tell you one thing.

01:28:57.980 Yeah.

01:28:58.200 This is a symbol of reversibility.

01:28:59.440 They can never eradicate the gun from the earth.

01:29:01.600 Yeah.

01:29:01.920 What about that?

01:29:02.940 What about that, Stu?

01:29:04.520 I hadn't thought about that in a while.

01:29:06.120 I know.

01:29:06.660 What was the human psyche thing that happened there?

01:29:08.820 The institutionalization of the human psyche.

01:29:10.820 It's been institutionalized.

01:29:12.840 Do you want your psyche to be institutionalized?

01:29:15.140 I don't think so.

01:29:16.580 He's resisting that.

01:29:17.700 He thinks.

01:29:18.160 He's not sure, but he thinks he is.

01:29:20.200 Classic clip from the Glenn Beck program, by the way.

01:29:21.760 Yes.

01:29:22.340 With the guy who did the first 3D printed gun.

01:29:25.100 It's been a while since we played that one.

01:29:26.680 It's been a while.

01:29:27.300 But it's a classic.

01:29:28.100 I don't know if it covers those or not.

01:29:31.520 That's a good question.

01:29:32.380 I mean, certainly no gun.

01:29:34.340 I would think it does qualify, because obviously they wouldn't have a serial number, right?

01:29:38.760 So I wonder if that qualifies.

01:29:40.720 The other thing they're going after are these, similar to AR-15s, you can get these guns that

01:29:47.740 have certain attachments on them that are technically pistols.

01:29:53.340 So they are regulated under those rules, but feel a lot, look a lot like an AR-15.

01:30:03.560 Now, at one point long ago, I had one of these.

01:30:07.980 It was lost in a terrible boating accident.

01:30:11.040 Oh my gosh, what a coincidence.

01:30:12.560 Yes, it was a terrible.

01:30:13.460 Oh my gosh.

01:30:14.020 The same thing happened to me.

01:30:15.440 Yeah.

01:30:15.960 I can't remember what lake I was on or ocean.

01:30:18.420 I can't either.

01:30:19.160 But it was a big body of water.

01:30:20.840 I remember that.

01:30:21.700 And it was super, super deep.

01:30:23.520 It's the deepest lake that I could have ever seen.

01:30:25.640 Yeah, the deepest lake I've ever heard of or ocean.

01:30:28.160 And I didn't, it was so deep and so immense that I didn't even try to go get it.

01:30:34.000 I just let them sink to the bottom and they've been gone ever since.

01:30:37.960 A terrible, terrible tragedy.

01:30:39.280 Terrible.

01:30:40.180 Of gun loss.

01:30:41.760 But it left me without my AR-15.

01:30:43.640 That's all I know.

01:30:44.640 And these are pretty cool.

01:30:45.760 I mean, they're really nice.

01:30:47.200 Again, an AR-15 is, one of the great things about it is, as a legal gun owner, if you need

01:30:53.320 to hit something, you're able to hit it.

01:30:55.520 Like, that is the benefit.

01:30:58.000 Be like, oh, why would you need an AR-15?

01:31:01.800 I don't know.

01:31:02.980 Because unless you're firing guns all the time, you're probably not going to be incredibly

01:31:07.000 accurate with a handgun.

01:31:08.480 Unless you're really the type of person who's going to the range constantly, it's a lot easier.

01:31:13.980 And especially for a woman who may be defending yourself against a larger man, maybe stopping

01:31:19.480 power is something you want to think about.

01:31:21.800 Right?

01:31:22.040 You know, it's like these people who are so pro-woman just do not want women to be able

01:31:27.260 to defend themselves for some reason.

01:31:29.780 And I'll never understand that part of it.

01:31:32.460 But they're trying to get rid of those.

01:31:34.260 They're basically trying to say, well, these are just skirting the rules.

01:31:37.180 Now, they're not skirting the rules, but that's what they're trying to accuse them of.

01:31:40.020 They're also, he wants to get rid of the stabilizing braces for pistols.

01:31:44.440 So, that's what he's doing.

01:31:47.160 That's what that is.

01:31:48.100 Yeah.

01:31:48.320 That's what you're talking about.

01:31:50.240 Stabilizing braces for pistols is their code for the AR-15 lookalike.

01:31:56.180 Really?

01:31:56.540 Because it's technically a pistol, but it looks and feels like an AR-15.

01:32:03.520 And therefore, that's evil.

01:32:05.080 Other actions include directing five federal agencies to make changes to the 26 different

01:32:12.080 programs to direct vital support to community violence intervention programs as quickly as

01:32:17.560 possible.

01:32:18.280 So, he's going to do that, too.

01:32:20.320 And then, of course, you know, he had, he's apparently going to involve Beto, his gun czar.

01:32:29.900 And Beto's promise, of course.

01:32:31.280 Hell, yes.

01:32:31.960 We're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.

01:32:34.780 We're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore.

01:32:39.460 I mean, that's what they want, right?

01:32:41.180 They want to stop all sales of AR-15s and AK-47s.

01:32:45.940 I don't know any Americans who have AK-47s, but, you know, if they do, I'll bet they've

01:32:52.460 lost them in a boating accident like we did.

01:32:55.640 Yes.

01:32:56.160 You know, I really got to stop boating.

01:32:57.740 It's happened a lot.

01:32:58.120 I know.

01:32:58.920 That's the problem.

01:32:59.660 It's dangerous.

01:33:00.180 They keep talking about banning guns.

01:33:01.600 They should ban boats.

01:33:02.760 I keep getting in boating accidents and deep lakes all over the state.

01:33:06.700 And I can never remember what lake I was in.

01:33:09.540 Yeah.

01:33:10.320 I know.

01:33:10.860 It's weird.

01:33:11.480 It is.

01:33:11.880 It is really ridiculous.

01:33:13.100 And there's so little he can do.

01:33:15.680 The reason why he didn't do this on day one and he waited for month four or three is because

01:33:20.360 he can't actually do these things legally.

01:33:23.260 And what is happening is behind the scenes, people who understand how these things work

01:33:28.560 are telling him over and over again, you can't do these things legally.

01:33:32.000 It's not going to hold up.

01:33:32.820 He's now come to a point where, I mean, half of the things he's doing are what we're going

01:33:36.460 to do is we're going to do an executive order on guns that will tell the states to pass laws

01:33:41.480 on guns.

01:33:42.540 Right.

01:33:42.900 Like that's like a lot of what this is.

01:33:44.500 It's a lot of like recommendations to the states, which again, I would argue there are

01:33:48.880 also going to be unconstitutional, but it's down the road a little bit and they don't

01:33:56.800 they, he can look like he's pleasing his base and who knows, maybe they get a couple of good

01:34:00.960 judges and things go through the right way for them.

01:34:03.860 Yeah.

01:34:04.000 And they're a little pissed off at him because he did promise during the campaign that he

01:34:07.980 was going to reinstall, uh, reinstate the assault weapons ban.

01:34:12.780 He, he did pledge that he said, we've done it before and we can do it again.

01:34:17.500 And we're going to, well, no, it was also unconstitutional then, first of all, but beyond

01:34:24.180 that, which is why it was overturned anyway.

01:34:26.760 Well, but would the, would the, if these things do wind up with the Supreme court, do you have

01:34:31.540 any confidence?

01:34:32.460 I, cause I frankly, I don't even know if it holds up in the Supreme court, if the Supreme

01:34:37.200 court does, uh, rule that these things are unconstitutional, I don't have much confidence

01:34:43.160 in them.

01:34:43.940 I have very little confidence in this, you know, in the Supreme court, though more confidence,

01:34:48.040 I guess, than I would have at other eras in the past.

01:34:50.500 Uh, you know, people look back at the Heller decision, which was the first major gun case,

01:34:55.320 uh, that people talk about that really, you know, codified the idea that people could individually

01:35:00.480 own guns.

01:35:02.400 And there's a lot of good in there.

01:35:04.140 Obviously did a lot of good things, but really there's a lot of questionable reasoning in

01:35:09.660 that ruling, which in some ways basically allows any, anybody to ban guns almost immediately

01:35:18.740 upon their release, any new model, anything that's not commonly owned, they could go after

01:35:25.320 and they haven't done all that much of this.

01:35:28.540 Cause I don't think they want that to go to back to the Supreme courts.

01:35:31.000 Cause I don't think that would work out well for them, meaning the left, but it's not exactly

01:35:36.940 the most pro gun ruling you've ever seen in your life.

01:35:40.560 It did get the, the basic right for an individual to bear arms, but like really shouldn't have

01:35:45.060 been a question at all.

01:35:46.100 And the left hates it anyway.

01:35:47.240 And the left hates it anyway.

01:35:48.240 Yeah.

01:35:48.480 So I, I think like we've seen a lot of cases that have threatened to go to the Supreme court

01:35:54.560 in recent, uh, months and the, a lot of them don't get up there and you gotta hope at some

01:36:00.820 point they take some of these and get these laws and rules, you know, really confirmed

01:36:08.300 so that we don't have to keep going back and asking these same questions and over and over

01:36:12.180 again, this is what the left does.

01:36:13.720 We've seen this happen over and over again, where they will pass rules that are blatantly

01:36:18.100 unconstitutional.

01:36:18.920 They will get challenged in court when they get up near the court at the very last second,

01:36:23.060 they step in and they say, Oh, actually we're going to get rid of that law.

01:36:26.900 So the whole thing is moot.

01:36:28.600 And so the court backs off and then they wait three months and they pass it again or very

01:36:32.780 similar type of rule goes all the way up the courts, repeat and, and, and rinse, rinse,

01:36:38.080 wash and repeat.

01:36:39.040 And that's, that's not the way the legal system is supposed to work.

01:36:41.740 Biden's going to try to do a lot of this stuff on his own.

01:36:43.720 I don't think he's able to do it constitutionally.

01:36:46.720 Many of the things he's just assigning to others who will then be overruled because they're

01:36:50.880 unconstitutional.

01:36:51.980 It's a freaking clear sentence.

01:36:54.780 Shall not be infringed.

01:36:55.960 There's not a lot of questions there.

01:36:57.500 Doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room.

01:36:59.300 It doesn't really doesn't.

01:37:00.240 And of course we can go back to all the malicious stuff and all that nonsense that was decided

01:37:04.280 in, in Heller, but regardless it is, it is clear.

01:37:08.260 You're not allowed to be doing these things.

01:37:09.960 You want to, you want to be able to do them, modify the constitution.

01:37:13.020 That's how you do it.

01:37:14.280 And you can either repeal the second amendment.

01:37:16.280 You can adjust and modify the second amendment in some way that pleases you.

01:37:19.760 You cannot just do this while this amendment stands.

01:37:22.800 It overrules you every time.

01:37:25.640 It just does.

01:37:26.600 You can say there are things you can do that are illegal with guns, like shoot people,

01:37:32.720 right?

01:37:33.480 That's okay.

01:37:34.460 Just like you can say there are.

01:37:35.560 We've had that law for a while, though.

01:37:37.240 It's been a while.

01:37:37.980 Yeah.

01:37:38.380 A little while.

01:37:39.160 Yeah.

01:37:39.660 But it's just like you can say like you can do things with your voice, right?

01:37:42.780 Like your speech.

01:37:43.940 There are things that you can do to others, libel, that can be illegal, but you can't just

01:37:49.020 like, you know what?

01:37:49.680 You can't say this word.

01:37:51.800 You can't do that.

01:37:53.160 They're going to try that.

01:37:53.820 Unless you're Jack at Twitter.

01:37:54.960 Yeah, Jack can do it.

01:37:56.300 Then you can.

01:37:56.900 Yeah.

01:39:06.400 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

01:39:22.760 This is kind of interesting.

01:39:23.940 A lot of times you'll say, well, it's interesting, isn't it, that the leftist comedians on late

01:39:32.420 night television never seem to get around to joking about the Democrats who are in office,

01:39:38.640 but wow, did they spend some time on Donald Trump, George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, I mean, every,

01:39:51.460 Gerald Ford, every single Republican president gets bludgeoned while they're in office.

01:39:57.080 And so far, at least, Joe Biden's been pretty much left alone.

01:40:01.180 Well, Samantha Bee has just admitted, yeah, she doesn't like to joke about him.

01:40:05.880 She kind of leaves him alone.

01:40:08.060 She admitted she pulls her punches when it comes to Joe Biden, which is interesting because

01:40:13.020 she certainly didn't do that with Donald Trump or his family.

01:40:17.140 No.

01:40:17.600 She famously said that Ivanka was a feckless C word.

01:40:22.540 And then I think she apologized for using the word feckless.

01:40:25.320 That was basically the tone of it.

01:40:28.740 Yes.

01:40:29.080 Yeah.

01:40:30.260 Because, I mean, she has a lot of feck.

01:40:33.040 I don't think that she's ever been feckless, but that's what she apologized for.

01:40:40.440 But when it comes to Biden, she says, why would I purposefully undermine something that seems

01:40:46.160 to be a great idea pretty much across the board?

01:40:50.480 Like, I don't need to make jokes just to make jokes.

01:40:54.580 Like, I like to make targeted jokes.

01:40:59.200 So, everything he does and stands for, I guess, is great and a great idea.

01:41:05.420 There's nothing funny about Joe Biden.

01:41:09.280 I tend to disagree with that.

01:41:11.400 I think there's a lot of cannon fodder there to be had.

01:41:15.500 But they did the same thing with Obama.

01:41:16.940 In fact, Saturday Night Live, I think somebody from Saturday Night Live during the Obama years

01:41:24.260 actually said there wasn't anything funny about Barack Obama.

01:41:26.940 Right.

01:41:27.660 You remember that?

01:41:28.280 Yes.

01:41:29.240 Now, that, let's just, if you really want to give him the benefit of the doubt, like,

01:41:34.300 Obama was very rehearsed.

01:41:35.940 He rehearsed.

01:41:37.520 He very rarely made comments that were unexpected.

01:41:44.400 You know, you kind of knew who he was.

01:41:46.120 He made speeches in front of teleprompters.

01:41:48.060 And that was a criticism of him.

01:41:49.180 He was always reading off a teleprompter.

01:41:50.400 Now, you can certainly make jokes about somebody reading off a teleprompter.

01:41:53.240 They just chose not to.

01:41:54.280 With Biden, though, I mean, the guy is constantly screwing up details.

01:42:01.880 He's constantly forgetting where he is in a story and in a sentence.

01:42:06.020 He's a thousand years old.

01:42:08.160 He went through a large scandal in which he was sniffing children's hair.

01:42:15.500 Do we not remember who this guy is?

01:42:19.580 Yeah.

01:42:20.120 And then you've got his son.

01:42:22.080 And his son.

01:42:22.780 I mean, there is a ton of cannon fodder there with Joe Biden.

01:42:27.740 And she can't find any of it?

01:42:29.760 Well, I don't know that she can't find it.

01:42:31.640 She's saying she doesn't want to find it.

01:42:33.200 She doesn't want to find it.

01:42:34.340 And, you know, look, you can do that.

01:42:36.960 You know, I don't think that that's.

01:42:39.920 She needs to.

01:42:40.720 She should.

01:42:41.200 In some ways, she's going to do what her audience wants.

01:42:43.100 And I will say sometimes, you know, we'll joke about Trump and people get pissed off about that.

01:42:46.680 But we're not going to.

01:42:47.860 He's a human being.

01:42:48.860 He's a politician.

01:42:50.240 And he's, you know, that he deserves.

01:42:53.240 And when he says something silly, it's fun to make fun of it.

01:42:56.240 Right.

01:42:56.460 Like, that's just what we're supposed to be doing.

01:42:58.520 If we're not doing that to people on our side.

01:43:00.560 If we're not making fun of, you know, Mitch McConnell for being a turtle.

01:43:04.880 What?

01:43:05.360 We found that about him.

01:43:06.740 He looks like a turtle.

01:43:08.460 It looks like a turtle without a shell.

01:43:10.540 Right.

01:43:10.960 Yeah, he does.

01:43:11.400 He's coming out.

01:43:11.840 He looks like a human turtle hybrid.

01:43:14.240 And we're going to note that.

01:43:18.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:43:21.920 Well, if you own a timeshare, chances are pretty good here in 2021 that you're ready to get out of it.

01:43:26.700 You probably weren't using it the whole time in the first place.

01:43:29.080 And with COVID, well, that probably drove that number of uses down to zero.

01:43:34.300 Here's the thing.

01:43:34.980 There are quite a few businesses out there that will claim they can get you out of a timeshare.

01:43:38.940 But most of them don't because most of them don't have a team of attorneys and paralegals whose only job is to get you out legally.

01:43:47.660 This is a group of attorneys.

01:43:49.420 That's it.

01:43:50.080 You know who has that group of attorneys?

01:43:52.020 Timeshare Termination Team.

01:43:53.500 They're ready to step to the plate and help you.

01:44:21.660 Doing our part to keep free speech alive.

01:44:25.460 There's much more after the break on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:44:34.360 Pat and Stu for Glenn this week.

01:44:38.860 Our Border Patrol doesn't get nearly enough credit.

01:44:42.220 Man, they do a lot of great things.

01:44:44.780 Seriously great things.

01:44:46.520 Saving people's lives over and over and over and over.

01:44:50.620 And they get no credit for that.

01:44:52.660 I mean, they find people in bad ways at the border all the time.

01:44:56.880 Because, I don't know if you know this, but when you cross the border, you're not necessarily in the nicest, most civilized part of the country.

01:45:07.240 Really?

01:45:07.680 Yeah.

01:45:07.940 A lot of times it's hot.

01:45:09.820 And there's very little water to go around.

01:45:13.500 You might have a long walk ahead of you even when you get here.

01:45:16.260 Depending on where you cross, it can be somewhat dangerous.

01:45:21.380 And the Border Patrol finds people, brings them to hospitals, gives them medical care on site a lot of times, gives them water and food and sustenance and then a place to stay.

01:45:34.820 And they just found, I mean, this is heartbreaking.

01:45:40.100 One of the agents on the border just found an abandoned 10-year-old boy last week in the Texas desert near the U.S.-Mexico border.

01:45:52.360 He was with a big group of people who were crossing the border with coyotes.

01:45:57.040 Apparently his family wasn't with him.

01:45:59.140 And they just abandoned him.

01:46:02.220 And they just left him there and took off.

01:46:05.180 So the child is seen sobbing and asking for help.

01:46:10.020 And he tells the, and the border agent was off duty when he found him.

01:46:14.500 And, you know, he said he was, he was trying to find his way home.

01:46:17.660 Said, and they can rob me, kidnap me.

01:46:20.360 I'm scared.

01:46:21.380 Well, yeah, you're 10.

01:46:24.260 I'm older than 10.

01:46:25.540 I'd be scared being abandoned on the border like that.

01:46:29.140 Uh, so the agent asks, well, what happened?

01:46:34.240 And the boy says, it's that I was walking with a group and they left me behind and I don't know where they're at.

01:46:40.840 Then the agent asks him, uh, you don't know where you're at?

01:46:43.740 They left you behind alone?

01:46:47.140 And the boy replies, of course they left me.

01:46:50.840 They left you behind by yourself.

01:46:52.580 You're not traveling with your mom or dad or anybody.

01:46:54.500 And he says, no, buddy.

01:46:57.120 I was with a group to turn myself in to you and they left me behind and I came to look for help.

01:47:05.600 This is part of the border situation that's never discussed.

01:47:10.500 Then it falls to us to take care of poor kids like this who've been abandoned or turned over by their family to some group of people that's heading north to the border.

01:47:22.960 Uh, a coyote perhaps, uh, who probably made $7,000 per person in the group.

01:47:28.400 And they don't really care about it, but they got their money.

01:47:31.020 They don't, they don't care about anybody in that group.

01:47:33.360 No.

01:47:34.980 And so securing the border is good for everybody.

01:47:40.920 It stops a lot of these problems.

01:47:43.920 It's not going to stop all of them, but it will discourage.

01:47:47.820 If you have a secure border, a border wall and good enforcement and border patrols, uh, that monitor who's jumping over the wall and who isn't, uh, you're going to cut down on these kinds of incidents.

01:48:03.080 They, they just will.

01:48:05.260 It less and less of these kinds of things will happen.

01:48:09.780 You're not going to have 18,000 unaccompanied children that you're going to have to house somewhere.

01:48:14.340 Seven times the number that they had at the peak of, of Donald Trump when everybody was crying and screaming about what a horrible humanitarian crisis that was.

01:48:24.520 It will never cease to amaze me that the humanitarian side of this argument is we should just let people flow over the border into the deserts and see what happens.

01:48:33.580 Just, it's crazy.

01:48:34.880 Yeah.

01:48:35.300 It's incentivizing this behavior, of course, by promising, you know, we went from a president who at least publicly signaled he didn't want to do it.

01:48:44.340 We want people to come across the border and did do a lot of things to try to help that process along.

01:48:50.740 Very difficult to get that stuff done, of course, but like to a president who says, you know, Hey, yeah, yeah, sure.

01:48:56.580 Don't come.

01:48:57.060 Don't come.

01:48:57.580 Of course, if you do come, we, you, we want to tell you right now that if you are a child, any, anybody under 18, you're automatically not going back.

01:49:08.260 That's what he said.

01:49:09.280 You're in.

01:49:09.740 You're automatically going to send you back.

01:49:11.220 And, uh, we're going to give you food and shelter and we're going to find a place for you to live because now it's our responsibility.

01:49:18.900 We're going to do all that.

01:49:20.320 It's, it's just crazy.

01:49:22.080 It's just crazy.

01:49:23.140 And the problem is so bad now that not only do they have these overcrowded facilities at the border, it's clear up to Long Beach, California.

01:49:33.200 Now the Long Beach convention center has now been taken over by the Bush, by the Biden administration to house migrants.

01:49:40.400 It's, it's the 12th overflow facility, uh, that they're, they're using now.

01:49:48.200 Now, now, now the number is more than 20,000 unaccompanied migrant children in its custody.

01:49:53.100 20,000.

01:49:55.000 That's just, that's unbelievable.

01:49:57.000 It's just unbelievable.

01:49:58.280 But it's not a crisis, uh, to the Bidens and the Biden administration.

01:50:03.380 And it's all, uh, Trump's fault.

01:50:05.160 If you were to listen to what they're saying, they're still blaming Donald Trump for this.

01:50:11.020 Of course.

01:50:12.740 They're going to be doing this forever.

01:50:14.080 They're still blaming George W. Bush for stuff, let alone Donald Trump.

01:50:18.280 What I find really interesting about this whole debate, there's been this back and forth about whether it's a crisis.

01:50:22.560 You know, Jen Psaki kind of famously flubbed it and said it was a crisis by mistake, but they've been pretty good at trying to deny this is a crisis.

01:50:30.420 It's just a humanitarian challenge and all these things.

01:50:33.860 And while I understand the, the, the attempt on, you know, our side to say, no, this is a crisis and you should admit it's a crisis.

01:50:43.680 And, you know, look, it's true in many, many ways.

01:50:47.580 However, is it true to them?

01:50:49.220 Like, uh, we keep saying it's not a crisis.

01:50:52.740 They should be admitting it.

01:50:53.720 Is it really a crisis to the Biden administration?

01:50:56.840 Yeah, probably not.

01:50:57.620 When they, when they've dedicated their entire policy to say, basically, we want you here.

01:51:02.320 Yeah.

01:51:02.920 You know, they'll say occasionally, oh, well, look, we just, just wait, don't come right now.

01:51:08.640 But, you know, they ran with the idea of this past president who tried to stop you from crossing the border was Hitler.

01:51:16.380 And we're going to do the opposite of what Hitler would do here.

01:51:19.000 We're going to make sure that you're treated fairly, that you have a path to citizenship.

01:51:23.520 And he even said, we're going to do this in the first hundred days.

01:51:28.220 So if you are someone in Honduras who, like, maybe wants to take advantage of this, when should you get here?

01:51:34.980 Within the first hundred days.

01:51:37.560 Right.

01:51:37.880 He's telling you in advance, this is what he wants to do.

01:51:42.540 And so I thought of it this way of like, remember when Popeyes released the chicken sandwich, their chicken sandwich last, I think it was last year or the year before.

01:51:50.840 And it was a big deal.

01:51:52.200 Big deal.

01:51:52.620 Right.

01:51:52.780 And they, look, Popeyes came out.

01:51:55.340 They made, they did a, spent a lot of time making this chicken sandwich.

01:51:58.180 They went through all the, you know, the chefs and they, they did taste tests and all this and came up with, they, we, they believe was the perfect chicken sandwich.

01:52:05.460 And then they advertised the chicken sandwich and they had people tweeting about the chicken sandwich and they'd have made a big deal about the chicken sandwich.

01:52:11.680 And then they released the chicken sandwich.

01:52:13.520 And you know what?

01:52:14.140 People liked it so much that they lined up in, at, at Popeyes all across the country and the line went down the street and they sold so many freaking chicken sandwiches that they ran out of chicken sandwiches.

01:52:28.680 A chicken place ran out of chicken sandwiches.

01:52:32.100 Was that a crisis for Popeyes?

01:52:35.460 Now they might say, look, in theory, would we love to have enough chicken sandwiches to be able to serve to all these people at Popeyes?

01:52:43.120 Sure.

01:52:43.360 I'm sure they would.

01:52:44.320 But would they describe it as a crisis?

01:52:46.780 No, it went exactly how they planned only better.

01:52:50.060 And that is how the Biden administration is looking at this.

01:52:52.960 It's, it isn't a nuisance, right?

01:52:54.880 Like, I don't think that they want to be dealing with these PR things that are going on with kids, you know, at the border and all this.

01:53:03.500 That they'd rather be spending their, you know, trillions of dollars and banning guns right now.

01:53:09.480 And they'd rather have it be smoother on the border.

01:53:12.220 I bet that they don't want to necessarily have to do these things in these ways.

01:53:17.400 However, they do want all of these people in the country.

01:53:21.580 Eventually, the fact that they showed up a few weeks early is not a crisis to them.

01:53:25.900 True.

01:53:26.120 To our country, sure.

01:53:27.340 To them, no.

01:53:28.780 Yeah.

01:53:29.360 Another good example of that would be Clorox.

01:53:31.840 Is it a, is it a crisis for Clorox that they can't keep their, their, their, uh, their merchandise in stores?

01:53:38.600 Oh, the wipes?

01:53:39.360 Yeah.

01:53:39.640 Yeah.

01:53:40.280 Right.

01:53:40.580 I mean, people buy them, buy the millions every day.

01:53:45.060 They, they were saying they were shipping a mil, was it a million a day?

01:53:49.940 I think it was a million a day and they couldn't keep them in stores.

01:53:54.660 That's not a crisis.

01:53:55.620 That's not a crisis.

01:53:56.260 Now, look, would they like to have more that they could sell even more?

01:53:58.860 Sure.

01:53:59.140 Sure.

01:53:59.460 Sure.

01:53:59.720 That would be great.

01:54:00.740 But it's not a crisis.

01:54:02.620 It's a challenge.

01:54:03.940 Yeah.

01:54:04.200 Right.

01:54:04.380 And that's how the Biden administration looks at the border.

01:54:06.720 It's a marketing tool.

01:54:07.720 Uh, like Apple.

01:54:08.740 I mean, a lot of people think Apple does that on purpose, that they, that they on purpose

01:54:13.740 don't, don't manufacture enough iPhones when they first release one so that they're creating

01:54:18.880 incredible demand.

01:54:19.820 And it looks really good that they're completely sold out of iPhones and everybody lines up

01:54:24.260 for miles to get an iPhone.

01:54:26.740 I mean, it's the same thing.

01:54:27.740 And they've got these people lining up now.

01:54:30.120 They think to vote for them in a few years after they make them citizens.

01:54:35.400 Is that a crisis to the Biden administration?

01:54:37.940 No, it's a goal.

01:54:38.940 You know, you got to think that Jen Psaki shouldn't be calling it a crisis because for them it is

01:54:42.560 not.

01:54:42.980 It's part of a long term plan.

01:54:45.100 Yeah, it's a really good point.

01:54:46.140 And it's pissing me off, but it's a really good point.

01:54:51.020 It's pissing me off too.

01:54:52.300 And it's bad for the country.

01:54:53.320 It is a crisis for this nation, but for Joe Biden and his administration, it's not.

01:54:56.820 They look at this as, as maybe a little bit of an early arrival to exactly what they

01:55:02.240 wanted.

01:55:03.660 And it doesn't seem like anyone's going to stop them.

01:55:07.200 You know, I mean, they may be able to slow this down at some point, but the long term

01:55:11.820 goal of being able to keep illegal immigrants in the country without really any, any ability

01:55:20.440 to change that other than eventually the tide turns enough where they can pass a reform that

01:55:27.140 gives them all citizenship or legal, legal rights to be here with a path to citizenship

01:55:31.440 or whatever it is, some form of amnesty for these crimes that they won't say are crimes.

01:55:37.440 There was a poll in Mexico that I've never forgotten from maybe a decade or two ago.

01:55:42.280 Uh, and, and the poll was asking, um, Mexicans if they would, if they would migrate to the

01:55:49.440 United States, if they had a chance, do you want to migrate to the United States?

01:55:54.400 30% of them wanted to 30% 30% of a country of 120 million.

01:56:01.500 So that's 35 million, almost 40 million people.

01:56:06.920 So if you send the signal that sure, we'd love to have you all come on.

01:56:12.020 Olly, olly, olly, come free.

01:56:13.340 Well, they're going to, and to be honest, you know, Mexico's just part of that problem.

01:56:18.480 Right now, Guatemala and Honduras seem to be even bigger issues.

01:56:22.080 And you see South America is in a terrible place with their economy, much worse than

01:56:27.520 we've had it over the past year.

01:56:29.600 They've had it much worse with COVID than we've had it.

01:56:32.900 They're fleeing their governments, which are in collapse.

01:56:35.620 I mean, Brazil is in collapse right now.

01:56:38.100 It is worse in Brazil, as far as COVID goes, than any point that it was here.

01:56:45.180 And there's shows no real sign of them being able to get this under control.

01:56:49.700 I'm not a huge, I mean, I don't think any of us are purveyors of panic when it comes

01:56:54.440 to this pandemic.

01:56:55.300 But Jair Bolsonaro has taken that to a whole different level.

01:57:02.560 That guy, when he was, this was last year, I think in the summer when, it was early on

01:57:09.260 when only 5,000 people had died.

01:57:10.900 And they said to him, some reporter said, hey, Mr. President, 5,000 people have died

01:57:16.300 so far.

01:57:16.700 And his response was, so?

01:57:20.880 Okay.

01:57:21.760 That's a guy who you probably don't want at the end of your country.

01:57:25.740 All right.

01:57:26.180 888-727-BECK.

01:57:30.800 I think it's a good thing to spend a little time considering how vulnerable your personal

01:57:34.120 information can be there on the internet.

01:57:36.280 I mean, it's out there.

01:57:37.140 It is there for hackers to go after.

01:57:39.120 It isn't just your own computer and devices that you have to worry about.

01:57:42.400 Maybe they get hacked.

01:57:43.500 Maybe they don't.

01:57:44.520 But frequently, you hear about data breaches in online services where you might have entered

01:57:48.300 personal information through a transaction.

01:57:50.760 What in the world do you do about that?

01:57:52.880 It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.

01:57:56.920 Every day, we put our information at risk on the internet.

01:57:59.620 We know that.

01:58:00.800 But cybercriminals keep finding new ways to steal our identities.

01:58:04.740 You can miss certain identity threats if all you're doing is monitoring your credit.

01:58:09.100 Fortunately, LifeLock is there to help protect you.

01:58:13.020 You'll see what I mean.

01:58:35.000 We were just going over some of the COVID numbers, which are pretty promising, I think, for the U.S.

01:58:49.340 I think so, too.

01:58:50.160 I mean, we've come down a long way.

01:58:51.460 Yeah, we're getting about 3 million vaccinations a day, which is a lot.

01:58:54.800 It seems like a lot.

01:58:56.140 And they expect full vaccination of, well, it's going to be available to everybody by, what was it, the 19th of this month?

01:59:02.580 So 11 days from now.

01:59:03.700 And our numbers are all trending down, hospitalizations, infections.

01:59:10.820 The average death per day is down to 797, which is still too many.

01:59:15.920 You don't want anybody dying from it, but that's way down from what it was.

01:59:20.920 And in some of the countries around the world, they've had really big success when they've rolled out the vaccination really well, like Israel.

01:59:32.740 Israel and the U.K. are the two that you probably point to as the, I mean, they're the two most vaccinated countries.

01:59:38.900 They've had both had massive 90 plus percent drops in cases and deaths.

01:59:44.380 Wow.

01:59:45.060 Yeah.

01:59:45.560 I mean, it's gone incredibly well.

01:59:47.500 And they're over 50% vaccinated, right?

01:59:50.820 I think Israel.

01:59:51.960 Israel is, so the share of people who've had at least one dose, Israel's up now at 61%.

01:59:57.620 They're by far the leaders.

01:59:59.520 U.K. is at 46.

02:00:01.740 And then we are.

02:00:02.780 We're at 32%.

02:00:04.500 32.

02:00:05.220 Okay.

02:00:05.700 That's right around Chile, which is one of the countries that people are like, well, what's going on in Chile?

02:00:09.500 You know, people who.

02:00:10.240 They just went into lockdown again.

02:00:11.300 Yeah.

02:00:11.920 It's hard to know, I would say.

02:00:13.400 And the only thing I would say about Chile is they really haven't done much testing at all.

02:00:16.980 So it's hard to compare their numbers.

02:00:19.040 They've tested at like one-fifth the rate of a developed nation.

02:00:23.980 So like, you've noticed one of the things that happens with the test, with tests, they would also, by the way, some of the scientists would point to variants, you know, being, I mean, that area of the world is having, is in a really big battle right now.

02:00:40.120 Yeah, we just mentioned Brazil.

02:00:41.720 Brazil is a disaster area.

02:00:43.740 I mean, it's as bad as it's been anywhere in the world.

02:00:46.420 So they're thinking that they're going to catch us in actual numbers of dead, like over 550,000.

02:00:53.000 And with a population of what, a third less than we have?

02:00:56.000 Yeah.

02:00:56.140 Well, people criticize Trump for being too whimsical about, about coronavirus.

02:01:00.480 Bolsonaro was like, not only is he like out there, like making out with people in the middle of the street.

02:01:05.680 But he's also eschewed the vaccine completely almost.

02:01:09.360 I mean, they, they, they basically, he basically was like, yeah, just take some vitamins.

02:01:13.820 You know, so it's not, it's not going well.

02:01:17.580 They just recently put in orders for the vaccine because they, he had canceled all their orders at one point.

02:01:23.280 And he got sick, right?

02:01:24.540 He had it.

02:01:25.440 He did have it.

02:01:25.860 It's the Glenn Beck program.
