The Glenn Beck Program - How Big Is a 'Small' Backyard Barbecue, Biden？｜ 7⧸2⧸21

00:00:00.000 And happy 4th of July weekend to hear you.

00:00:03.460 888-727-BECK is our phone number on this Independence Day weekend.

00:00:10.560 Hopefully, you've got, I don't know, some really nice plans lined up.

00:00:15.580 Although, the backyard barbecue thing is out because we didn't hit the numbers that the president told us we had to hit in order to enjoy a barbecue with our friends in the backyard.

00:00:26.800 A small one.

00:00:28.060 Thank you.

00:00:28.660 If you and your wife live in the same residence, you go ahead and have the barbecue. 0.68

00:00:34.120 But to be clear.

00:00:34.940 But you can't invite your children over who don't live in your household.

00:00:38.200 When he talked about July 4th, he only talked about a small backyard barbecue anyway, even if we hit the numbers.

00:00:43.140 That's true.

00:00:43.500 I think there were four people or six people or something.

00:00:46.020 Which is, in my mind, too much.

00:00:48.040 In my mind, too much.

00:00:49.040 I just want to sit back, Pat.

00:00:50.340 How many do you think are okay?

00:00:51.780 Two?

00:00:52.840 Is two okay?

00:00:54.240 Not in the same backyard, but in backyards.

00:00:56.820 Okay.

00:00:57.080 I think one person in each backyard.

00:01:01.100 And you can turn up, like, maybe you get a speaker or something so you can speak really loudly over, like, a megaphone or a speaker system to talk to the person in the next backyard.

00:01:08.500 As long as you're properly socially distanced.

00:01:10.920 Yeah.

00:01:11.340 Right?

00:01:11.840 And you would think if you're in separate backyards, you would be.

00:01:14.280 Well, like, for example, the Tim the Toolman Taylor thing.

00:01:17.500 That can't happen.

00:01:18.220 No, that can't happen.

00:01:18.760 It's way too close.

00:01:19.400 Because he's right on the other side of the fence.

00:01:21.320 We'll get into this today on the show.

00:01:22.780 All right.

00:01:22.860 Yes.

00:01:23.140 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:53.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:59.060 Today, featuring Pat Gray, Stu Bergeer.

00:02:04.440 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

00:02:06.480 Today and next week, he'll be back in a little over a week.

00:02:10.360 He's taking some time off for the fourth.

00:02:13.420 888-727-BECK is the number to call.

00:02:16.140 It's an exciting Independence Day weekend.

00:02:20.300 We got a jam-packed show.

00:02:22.220 We'll get to it all coming up in 60 seconds.

00:02:24.540 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:30.700 When you go with the real estate agents I trust, you might think you're getting a real estate agent.

00:02:35.440 But guess again.

00:02:36.320 What you're really getting is an agent plus an entire team of experts at his or her fingertips.

00:02:41.480 And if you haven't bought or sold a home in a while, you're going to need those people on your side.

00:02:46.440 When you work with one of their agents, you're going to get an expert in the field.

00:02:50.540 This isn't someone who works, you know, kind of at Starbucks and occasionally moonlights as a real estate agent.

00:02:55.520 We're talking about full-time people who know the market better than anyone else.

00:02:59.440 And in this market, if you're selling a house, you better take advantage of it because it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

00:03:04.440 And if you're buying, you better be careful because you can really overdo it right now.

00:03:10.000 You can get a house that's not worth what I mean.

00:03:12.680 You can really overdo it if you're not careful.

00:03:15.340 Better have the right person on your team.

00:03:16.900 The way to do that is to go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:03:20.900 realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:03:21.880 The name kind of says it all.

00:03:42.700 Happy Independence Day weekend.

00:03:45.140 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:03:47.940 Sad news, though, as we start the weekend,

00:03:50.500 we didn't hit the numbers that our president required of us

00:03:55.160 to go ahead and have barbecues in our backyards

00:03:59.200 with a couple of people that we care about

00:04:03.100 or at least like and wanted to have over for a burger.

00:04:06.560 We didn't hit those numbers, so you can't do it.

00:04:09.280 Pat, I happen to be of the idea that it's way too many people in a backyard

00:04:16.240 if you have multiple people in a backyard.

00:04:18.040 Well, he set up to six if we would have hit our numbers,

00:04:20.700 but that was too many?

00:04:21.880 Too many, Pat.

00:04:22.880 Okay.

00:04:23.160 Too many people.

00:04:25.720 You're talking about six people in one backyard?

00:04:29.540 I mean, maybe if you had 10 acres.

00:04:31.580 You know, something like that situation.

00:04:33.580 If you had 10 acres.

00:04:34.900 I personally don't.

00:04:36.100 You don't?

00:04:36.560 I don't.

00:04:37.080 I do not have 10 acres of land.

00:04:38.320 Do you have a mountain range that cuts through

00:04:40.280 and gives multiple sections of backyard?

00:04:43.020 Do you think my name is Glenn Beck?

00:04:44.620 No.

00:04:45.520 No idea.

00:04:46.640 Oh, this is a Glenn Beck program.

00:04:47.900 Glenn does have a mountain range that cuts through his backyard.

00:04:52.040 But it's not, that's not appropriate.

00:04:54.000 What I would say is if you have a mountain range that cuts it like a pizza

00:04:57.760 into six different slots.

00:05:00.760 Oh.

00:05:01.160 Like, so you'd need a mountain range that kind of,

00:05:02.420 or like maybe even a forest would work,

00:05:04.700 but it has to cut into multiple different regions of the backyard.

00:05:08.640 I don't have that.

00:05:09.420 And then one person in each region.

00:05:11.600 If you picture like a small pizza cut into six slices,

00:05:14.400 one person in each area of that backyard,

00:05:17.140 if it's divided by some natural barrier.

00:05:20.900 For instance, if your backyard includes Colorado, Utah.

00:05:27.260 Yeah, right.

00:05:27.940 Like if you're the federal government.

00:05:29.140 Yeah.

00:05:30.140 If you're federal government and you own,

00:05:32.140 let's say 60% of the western half of the country.

00:05:34.700 Then you could have a barbecue.

00:05:35.400 We could do this.

00:05:36.080 Yeah.

00:05:36.420 Yeah.

00:05:36.880 And that's, that's because we're all coming together.

00:05:39.720 This is our independence day, Pat.

00:05:43.020 Otherwise, like how many do you think are too appropriate?

00:05:45.440 Can two people who live in the same household go into the backyard and have a

00:05:49.040 barbecue?

00:05:49.660 Or is that too many?

00:05:50.640 Is that too much to ask?

00:05:53.240 Let me just be, cause you know, we're, we're conservatives.

00:05:56.880 We, we maybe are a little too lackadaisical with our COVID restrictions.

00:06:01.440 What I would say is let's say you live on a street and everyone's got a decent

00:06:07.900 sized backyard.

00:06:09.660 If you were to have a backyard barbecue with one person per backyard,

00:06:14.160 I think that would be okay.

00:06:16.040 Separated by a fence.

00:06:17.160 First of all, yes, definitely separated by fence.

00:06:19.300 But it'd be better if maybe you add some plexiglass to the top of that fence as

00:06:22.220 well.

00:06:22.520 Okay.

00:06:23.140 And then in addition to that, you need to stand in the middle of the yard.

00:06:26.040 Either today or tomorrow, you need to install plexiglass at the top of your

00:06:29.360 fence.

00:06:29.740 Yeah.

00:06:30.180 I mean, it should be there already. 0.73

00:06:31.520 The fact that it's not already shows that you don't care and you want to kill

00:06:33.940 grandmothers, but I'm saying you stand in the middle of the yard though.

00:06:39.200 Not like the Tim, the tool man, Taylor thing.

00:06:41.800 Where the neighbor came up and he poked his nose over the fence.

00:06:45.580 Yeah.

00:06:45.680 You only saw his eyes for the entire series kind of peeking over the fence.

00:06:48.820 Way too close.

00:06:50.560 Way too close.

00:06:51.880 Now, sure.

00:06:53.580 If you want to look back and look at some of the scientific data,

00:06:56.800 you might note that there has not been a single case of COVID spread outdoors

00:07:02.520 other than very close conversation in the entire history of the pandemic.

00:07:07.580 But I think six people outside is radical.

00:07:12.280 And we didn't hit the number, Pat.

00:07:14.440 We didn't hit the number.

00:07:15.340 We didn't hit the number.

00:07:16.560 We don't deserve it.

00:07:17.340 We don't deserve to have a barbecue in the backyard with friends.

00:07:20.500 Thank you.

00:07:20.920 I don't deserve it.

00:07:22.160 I'm glad you finally said that, Pat.

00:07:23.520 Yeah.

00:07:23.760 Because...

00:07:24.080 It had to be said.

00:07:24.880 It really...

00:07:25.520 I feel better now, having gotten it off my chest.

00:07:27.740 And here's the thing.

00:07:28.820 The fact that we missed this completely arbitrary number by, what, 3%.

00:07:36.200 So, instead of 70% of people, adults over 18 vaccinated, it's 67%.

00:07:44.840 This is a massive difference.

00:07:47.960 And it really going to make...

00:07:49.100 The difference between a pandemic, a raging pandemic, and herd immunity, Pat.

00:07:53.060 That's the difference.

00:07:53.720 That's a dang good number.

00:07:54.500 In the United States of America, that's an incredible number.

00:07:57.940 67% of adults have gotten a vaccine.

00:08:01.080 You know, I'm glad you said that.

00:08:02.800 I totally agree with this.

00:08:04.780 I do, at times, hesitate.

00:08:07.100 Because you think, like, well, you know, like, herd immunity is factors in an entire population.

00:08:12.660 We're not going to get to herd immunity anytime soon.

00:08:15.160 Probably never.

00:08:16.520 But, you know, the point is...

00:08:18.640 Although, I will say, what's-his-face, Fauci said 70% at the beginning.

00:08:22.540 If you get to 70% of adults, that's pretty dang good.

00:08:26.760 I think it is pretty dang good.

00:08:28.920 Especially when you consider that, you know, for most of this time, no one under 17 years old was eligible to even take the vaccine.

00:08:35.800 So, you can't even look at anyone there.

00:08:37.740 And you're at 67% of adults.

00:08:43.220 But more importantly, Pat, and this is something conservatives argued from the very beginning.

00:08:47.580 Look, we have a country here.

00:08:49.460 We have people who are going to be able to make their own risks, right?

00:08:54.220 They're going to be able to assess their own risks.

00:08:56.360 You know, what we really need to do to get this country going again is look at the people who are really vulnerable here.

00:09:01.740 And the people who are really vulnerable are largely people over 65 years old.

00:09:06.700 Right now, currently, at this moment, we have vaccinated 88.2% of people over 65.

00:09:13.660 That is an insanely good performance.

00:09:16.980 I mean, what did you expect in a country where people are allowed to make their own decisions?

00:09:21.760 You expect it to be 100?

00:09:23.360 I mean, there are going to be some people who don't agree with you.

00:09:25.620 88.2% of the most vulnerable people?

00:09:29.000 It's incredible.

00:09:29.400 That's amazing.

00:09:31.960 And, of course, we've seen the results.

00:09:33.380 I mean, we're down 90% in cases and deaths, some of them over 90% in some of these margins.

00:09:41.820 Hospitalizations as well.

00:09:43.660 They're trying to scare us, though, back into submission because people are getting too free again.

00:09:49.100 And we're not completely under their thumb right now.

00:09:51.620 So they're doing the whole Delta variant scare. 0.81

00:09:54.560 The fear-mongering on the Delta variant.

00:09:56.980 You hear it every stinking day.

00:09:58.140 The Delta variant. 0.98

00:09:59.280 The Delta variant.

00:10:00.100 It's coming.

00:10:01.060 The Delta variant.

00:10:02.720 Just stop with the Delta variant.

00:10:06.440 But they're not going to stop because they want control.

00:10:10.260 In Los Angeles, they've already re-mandated masks if you're going indoors anywhere.

00:10:17.580 I just don't think any of this stuff is going to work.

00:10:19.880 I don't feel like they're going to be able to re-institute these.

00:10:24.900 I think.

00:10:25.260 I mean, the Delta variant.

00:10:25.940 People are done, I think.

00:10:26.820 The Delta variant is up to, what, 25% now of cases.

00:10:29.400 It's going to rise.

00:10:30.480 It's happening.

00:10:31.160 It's happening in Great Britain right now.

00:10:33.460 And now they have what I would consider a worse vaccine than the ones that we have.

00:10:39.320 AstraZeneca?

00:10:39.620 AstraZeneca.

00:10:40.120 Yeah.

00:10:40.280 I mean, it's had its problems.

00:10:41.900 I don't think it's terrible.

00:10:43.240 But their situation right now, they are having an influx of cases due to the Delta variant.

00:10:48.180 And what hasn't moved at all, and we are now a couple weeks past where it should have moved,

00:10:54.720 are deaths and hospitalizations.

00:10:56.280 I mean, it's ticked up a little bit, but really it hasn't nudged up at all.

00:11:01.140 So we've seen cases go up.

00:11:02.660 But this is really like the old, you know, when some of these outbreaks would happen last year,

00:11:07.560 people would say like, ah, is this going to, is this just cases?

00:11:10.760 You know, it's younger people.

00:11:11.760 Is it just cases?

00:11:12.500 And then the deaths eventually would rise every single time.

00:11:14.820 This time they're not in Great Britain.

00:11:17.540 Now, who knows?

00:11:18.260 Will it hold?

00:11:18.740 I don't know.

00:11:19.680 Here, we seem to be performing even better because I think our vaccines are better performing vaccines

00:11:24.720 through Operation Warp Speed and all the work that the president did.

00:11:28.860 I heard him on Clay and Buck, the new show in Rush Limbaugh's time slot,

00:11:33.120 talking earlier this week.

00:11:34.340 And he was talking about how the media all said this was not possible.

00:11:40.800 They all said a vaccine in that timeline could not be done under any circumstances.

00:11:46.660 They laughed at him.

00:11:47.220 They laughed at him.

00:11:48.440 They went to, they said Donald Trump was trying to manipulate the science to win an election.

00:11:55.080 They accused him of all sorts of things.

00:11:58.900 Yet here we are disappointed that only 67% of adults are vaccinated by July.

00:12:07.060 Yeah.

00:12:07.280 They, I mean, they had no timeline.

00:12:09.820 Their initial timelines for all of this was supposed to be a release,

00:12:15.460 maybe by the end of 2021.

00:12:18.180 Maybe if we're really lucky by they'll release all of this for people.

00:12:23.120 Yeah, they kept telling us, oh, please, the fastest ever vaccine was developed in four years.

00:12:31.700 You can't get it done by the end of the year.

00:12:35.360 And he did.

00:12:36.180 Think about this, Pat.

00:12:37.060 I found this to be fascinating.

00:12:39.420 The early 80s went on and we just exited Pride Month.

00:12:44.120 And if you know anything about it.

00:12:45.140 I miss it already.

00:12:45.940 I do too.

00:12:46.580 Don't you?

00:12:47.020 I mean, we're 363 days away from Pride Month.

00:12:49.900 I've been in my heart all the year, though.

00:12:51.140 You will?

00:12:51.680 I am.

00:12:52.020 Okay, good.

00:12:52.560 Yeah.

00:12:54.180 One of the things that always comes up in Pride Month is the evils of Ronald Reagan.

00:12:58.460 You know, Ronald Reagan didn't even say.

00:12:59.900 Didn't even mention the word AIDS.

00:13:01.360 AIDS until 1998.

00:13:03.740 After he died.

00:13:04.620 After he died.

00:13:05.300 After he died, he finally mentioned it.

00:13:08.200 Once.

00:13:08.800 And that was only one time.

00:13:10.360 And there's all these things that go around.

00:13:11.360 Maybe we should get into this later.

00:13:12.820 But there's all these things that go around the internet that Ronald Reagan didn't care

00:13:16.060 about AIDS.

00:13:16.660 And he didn't mention it for all this time.

00:13:17.940 It's not true.

00:13:19.040 He, like, doubled the investment in fighting AIDS.

00:13:22.920 More than doubled.

00:13:23.640 Every year.

00:13:24.620 Year.

00:13:24.920 Yeah.

00:13:25.220 I mean.

00:13:25.540 Every single year he doubled it again.

00:13:28.920 Yep.

00:13:29.500 And the first year it was called a pandemic.

00:13:33.240 And an epidemic, excuse me.

00:13:35.520 He was already investing in it.

00:13:37.000 I mean, he didn't wait.

00:13:37.960 He didn't wait until it was too late.

00:13:39.600 He, you know, he was not asked, interesting, by any journalist throughout the entire 1984

00:13:45.400 re-election campaign, one question about it in any of the debates.

00:13:49.800 So, like, it was not a focus of the country in large part.

00:13:54.100 But it's.

00:13:54.940 We barely heard about it.

00:13:56.220 Yeah, we didn't know what it was.

00:13:57.120 In 84.

00:13:57.340 We didn't know anything about it.

00:13:58.300 We didn't know what it was at the time.

00:13:59.620 I think the first time we ever heard of it was 1982.

00:14:04.100 Yeah.

00:14:04.380 Maybe.

00:14:04.880 And it wasn't, you know, they didn't know that much about it.

00:14:07.240 They didn't know much about it.

00:14:08.080 They didn't really know how it spread.

00:14:09.260 And here's the thing that I thought was fascinating, thinking about how far we've come.

00:14:13.240 In the early 80s, AIDS was, they realized AIDS was a thing.

00:14:18.880 And they started trying to figure out what caused it.

00:14:21.460 It took them four years to identify the virus.

00:14:25.760 I mean, in four years.

00:14:28.680 Fauci was saying things like, we think it might have come from a toilet seat.

00:14:33.960 I mean, it wasn't exactly that, but it was stuff like that.

00:14:37.420 Yeah.

00:14:37.700 And we didn't know.

00:14:38.720 I mean, think about, we have, in this situation, Operation Warp Speed produces multiple effective

00:14:46.260 vaccines in less than a year.

00:14:50.680 And back then, it took four years to even figure out what the virus was, let alone come up with

00:14:55.000 a vaccine for it, which they still don't have.

00:14:57.120 Yeah.

00:14:57.320 They do have pretty effective treatments now that have been developed over time.

00:15:04.000 Some people live a long time.

00:15:05.700 Yeah, very, very long time.

00:15:06.900 It's no longer the death sentence.

00:15:08.280 I remember watching Magic Johnson.

00:15:10.120 And thinking, oh my gosh.

00:15:11.200 Oh my gosh, he's going to be dead in six months.

00:15:12.800 Now you can't even detect the disease in him.

00:15:14.600 Yeah.

00:15:15.260 And we've come a long, long, long way.

00:15:17.380 By the way, I think it's Moderna that is about to enter trials on an mRNA AIDS vaccine, HIV

00:15:24.140 vaccine, a flu vaccine.

00:15:25.400 And there was one other one.

00:15:26.100 Oh, wow.

00:15:27.980 Melanoma is another one.

00:15:29.880 They're in the middle of it.

00:15:30.500 Really?

00:15:30.920 Yeah.

00:15:31.680 I really, again, I understand that there's a cancer vaccine.

00:15:36.480 That's amazing.

00:15:37.400 There's a lot of disagreement.

00:15:38.520 I understand at times in the audience with vaccinations.

00:15:41.680 And again, I maintain 100% I'd take a cancer vaccine.

00:15:46.520 I'd take it.

00:15:47.400 And I maintain it's 100% your choice to do all of these things or not.

00:15:51.600 And I think that's really, really important in a country like the United States with foundational

00:15:56.080 liberties like we have.

00:15:57.440 On the other hand, I also am really excited about this technology because if it works,

00:16:02.340 there's hope to wipe out all sorts of diseases that have been around for a really long time.

00:16:07.840 And, of course, we should make sure that all of it's safe and everything else.

00:16:12.740 I mean, I think that's very important.

00:16:14.120 I'm very encouraged by what the Trump administration was able to do.

00:16:18.180 One of the things I love about this whole story is that it's the most hated people in

00:16:22.920 the world coming together to do it.

00:16:24.820 I mean, people hate pharmaceutical companies.

00:16:27.100 They hate capitalism.

00:16:28.620 They hate the Trump administration.

00:16:30.600 And it's impossible to tell this story without them.

00:16:33.460 But that being said, you know, it's up to you, especially now when these things are available.

00:16:41.140 If you don't want to take them, you shouldn't have to take them.

00:16:44.260 And then you assume the risk associated with that.

00:16:46.880 If you want to take them, you should have the ability to take them.

00:16:49.820 And you assume the risks associated with that.

00:16:52.740 That is a that seems like a country that's free.

00:16:56.760 It kind of does, doesn't it?

00:16:58.080 Yeah, it kind of does.

00:18:48.040 And you can get a quick review.

00:18:49.240 It's great.

00:18:49.860 Whatever.

00:18:50.500 It doesn't really matter as long as you write something.

00:18:55.360 every time you do something good for the Glenn Beck program,

00:18:58.600 for Pat Gray Unleashed, for Stu Does America,

00:19:00.240 you're hurting someone else.

00:19:02.000 And that's the thing you need to remember.

00:19:04.000 It's not just about good things for us.

00:19:05.400 It's about bad things for Rachel Maddow.

00:19:07.600 Yeah.

00:19:08.240 Or AOC.

00:19:09.260 I mean, she could look at that and think,

00:19:10.960 what?

00:19:13.120 Whatever.

00:19:14.080 And like, you know, like, whatever.

00:19:17.620 And that would be fun.

00:19:18.880 That would be fun.

00:19:19.700 Wouldn't it be fun?

00:19:20.300 That would be very enjoyable.

00:19:22.400 You get her into a like, whatever cycle for about 15, 20 minutes.

00:19:26.440 Yeah.

00:19:26.780 Like when she was looking at the garbage disposal.

00:19:29.140 Dumbfounded.

00:19:29.500 Like, whatever.

00:19:31.160 Like, what?

00:19:31.720 What is this noise?

00:19:32.760 There's that crunching noise coming out of this?

00:19:34.660 Like, what is going on?

00:19:36.540 You know, the disposal's only been around since about 1950.

00:19:40.540 So she may not have heard about it yet.

00:19:43.720 I mean, it's pretty new.

00:19:45.300 It's a new fangled gadget that, you know,

00:19:48.720 has been around, what, 70 years.

00:19:51.780 So you can't blame her for not knowing what it was.

00:19:54.100 I think AOC does a great job.

00:19:55.720 You know, she really does a wonderful job.

00:19:59.680 Like when the other day when she was like, I don't mind having Republicans on the January 6th commission.

00:20:05.860 But we have to make sure that some of them that were involved in it are not on the commission.

00:20:10.020 Because some of them look like they were involved in it.

00:20:12.260 Like, okay, you're a congresswoman.

00:20:14.640 You're not currently still working at the bar.

00:20:17.680 So, like, maybe, I don't know, don't accuse sitting congressmen of being involved in the January 6th riots.

00:20:28.200 Unless you have, I don't know, some evidence.

00:20:31.100 Well, how many shots have shown Ted Cruz out there with a flagpole whacking somebody over the head?

00:20:39.780 I mean, how many shots?

00:20:40.940 You know, I had forgotten that Ted Cruz tried to kill AOC that day. 0.99

00:20:44.860 You tried to kill me! 1.00

00:20:48.520 So ridiculous. 1.00

00:20:49.900 She is insane. 1.00

00:20:51.060 It's amazing to see the left, and the president in particular, be terrified of her. 0.99

00:20:58.540 Oh, she is. 0.88

00:20:59.080 They can't say, they are terrified of her.

00:21:01.140 They can't, like, when someone, we were talking about this a little bit on News and Why It Matters yesterday.

00:21:04.860 We were on with Sarah Gonzalez talking about the news of the day.

00:21:08.000 And they played the clip of Jen Psaki, once again, acting as if it was Republicans who wanted to defund the police.

00:21:14.840 It's like, what?

00:21:16.340 And they can't bring themselves to say, look, the squad, obviously, you're talking about the squad who was saying defund the police. 1.00

00:21:23.820 The squad are a bunch of morons. 1.00

00:21:25.640 We didn't say that. 1.00

00:21:26.640 Now, look, they're stretching the truth to say that they are not interested in this.

00:21:31.420 But there's an easy point to make if they weren't terrified of AOC and Presley and Omar and the whole group by just saying, look, there's a difference between us and the hardcore socialists who call themselves Democrats.

00:21:46.100 They can't bring themselves to do it because there really isn't much difference there.

00:21:51.480 No, there really isn't.

00:21:52.600 And they're afraid of what will happen to them if they say there is a difference.

00:21:56.340 Yeah.

00:21:56.760 You know, they'll get bludgeoned to death on Twitter.

00:22:00.140 Everybody is so deathly afraid of what people are going to say about them on Twitter.

00:22:05.440 I know Twitter is like the most powerful force in the universe right now.

00:22:11.940 If I mean, if you are a politician or the head of a company, you can't handle any kind of negative response from Twitter when you should just completely ignore it and you'll be fine.

00:22:25.440 We talked about that Barry Weiss podcast yesterday and she made the point that, you know, the Tom Cotton op-ed is a great example of this.

00:22:31.800 Tom Cotton actually got by the editors of the New York Times.

00:22:35.340 His op-ed was printed, right?

00:22:37.540 But in reality, the editor of the New York Times is Twitter.

00:22:41.820 It's just Twitter.

00:22:43.000 Twitter told them they couldn't put that in the New York Times.

00:22:45.200 So then they took it out of the New York Times.

00:22:46.840 Their editor, the one they hired to do the job and then fired after this, he was fine with the op-ed.

00:22:52.680 It was Twitter afterwards who said, no, actually, you're not allowed to put that in there.

00:22:56.780 Take it out.

00:22:57.240 And they did.

00:22:58.980 Amazing.

00:22:59.680 I can't wait for the time.

00:23:01.400 And maybe it'll never come.

00:23:02.480 When people realize Twitter is not real life.

00:23:06.340 Twitter is not reality.

00:23:07.840 And it's not what everybody thinks.

00:23:10.880 There's a small percentage of people on Twitter.

00:23:14.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:23:18.020 So there is a great service out there.

00:23:20.260 It is called VidAngel.

00:23:22.040 It allows you to skip unacceptable stuff in movies and TV shows.

00:23:27.000 And you know what I mean when I say unacceptable.

00:23:29.400 The blood, the gore, the salty language, the risque, Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me moments.

00:23:35.760 Well, that's where VidAngel gets in.

00:23:37.580 You get to watch the show or the movie you want.

00:23:39.780 But you can filter out all the stuff you don't want.

00:23:42.740 And you decide where that line is.

00:23:45.140 VidAngel is so easy to set up that anyone can do it.

00:23:48.460 It's a piece of cake.

00:23:49.560 You just go to VidAngelBeck.com, you sign up, you connect your streaming services, you set your filters, and that's it.

00:23:56.920 You've just made a movie a lot friendlier.

00:23:59.160 You can watch all those movies that you've wanted to watch.

00:24:02.140 Edited, really, by you through VidAngel.

00:24:21.640 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:24.880 Join the conversation.

00:24:26.300 888-727-BECK.

00:24:37.000 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:39.820 Joined by our friend Jeff Fisher.

00:24:43.000 Jeffy here to chew the fat.

00:24:44.980 If this was my show, I'd play the Jeffy introduction.

00:24:49.740 Oh, no.

00:24:50.440 No, it might be a little too long for this.

00:24:52.260 Yeah, it's too long for this.

00:24:52.980 Well, let's try it.

00:24:54.060 Here it is.

00:24:56.840 This is the big intro to Chew and the Fat with Jeff Fisher.

00:25:04.460 Children's Chorus.

00:25:09.640 Wow.

00:25:10.040 Yeah, it's really, it's a professional music intro for a professional broadcaster.

00:25:16.180 That's a good point.

00:25:16.580 It's more refined than I would picture a Jeffy opening.

00:25:18.540 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:19.260 Well, wait until you get to the crescendo here because it's, you're truly going to be stuck.

00:25:23.600 You think it's over?

00:25:26.480 Oh, my gosh.

00:25:30.620 What's the story behind this?

00:25:33.960 It was just a...

00:25:36.600 The story is we can't hear the music we want.

00:25:41.040 So.

00:25:42.060 So.

00:25:42.840 So we do this.

00:25:43.880 Right, but I'm saying, what's the story behind the actual chorus?

00:25:46.860 It's just a children's school band, you know, that the parents were dang proud of.

00:25:54.560 They did their best.

00:25:55.060 Playing Space Odyssey.

00:25:56.920 I mean, if your kid is in that orchestra, how proud are you?

00:25:59.840 Wouldn't you have been proud?

00:26:00.920 How proud would you be?

00:26:01.960 Hey, you just got your music played on a national radio show.

00:26:04.640 That's right.

00:26:04.700 That's pretty good.

00:26:05.160 That's right.

00:26:05.440 Thank you.

00:26:06.120 And it's time to chew the fat with Jeffy.

00:26:08.100 First, I want to start off with saying, if you were to find, let's say, $21,000 in the

00:26:13.340 bathroom of a subway, would you turn it in?

00:26:16.020 Yes.

00:26:16.800 Would you?

00:26:17.280 Mm-hmm. 1.00

00:26:17.640 Because you'd be dumb. 1.00

00:26:18.700 Why would you do that? 1.00

00:26:19.400 There's a story about a lady who found $21,000 in a small town here just outside of DFW and

00:26:28.760 in a subway bathroom.

00:26:31.280 We don't have subways here.

00:26:32.680 What do you mean?

00:26:33.280 She turned it in.

00:26:33.960 Subway restaurant.

00:26:34.540 Subway restaurant.

00:26:35.500 Oh, okay.

00:26:36.480 And she turned it in.

00:26:38.040 Now, my-

00:26:39.040 Seems like a good thing.

00:26:40.320 Like, she's being an upstanding citizen.

00:26:42.160 If you were a person who left $21,000 in the subway bathroom, you deserve to lose $21,000.

00:26:51.940 I'm sorry.

00:26:53.340 Now, the guy came back.

00:26:54.440 She turned it in.

00:26:55.100 The police were there.

00:26:55.780 The guy came back.

00:26:56.540 The police, apparently, he was off to buy a used car.

00:27:00.960 Right.

00:27:01.720 Yes.

00:27:02.460 Okay.

00:27:03.500 Now, a lot of my Chewing the Fat listeners said she was actually a listener and did it

00:27:08.600 right.

00:27:08.820 She may have found more than $21,000 and just turned in $21,000 to look good, because 1.00

00:27:14.080 that's a plan from, you know, if you find money, like, say, when, you know, money trucks

00:27:18.460 tip over that happen from time to time, they always, well, don't.

00:27:22.340 You have to turn in the money you picked up, because people stop and pick up the money that's

00:27:25.860 all over the road.

00:27:26.720 But that's the plan.

00:27:28.060 You just drive up and say, yeah, I got carried away.

00:27:30.980 Here's, I picked up this money.

00:27:32.600 But you don't turn it all in. 0.98

00:27:34.080 That would be dumb.

00:27:35.640 You just give them a little bit and say, yeah, you're right. 0.98

00:27:38.660 I got carried away.

00:27:39.580 Your moral standards are almost too high.

00:27:42.300 Almost.

00:27:42.620 Almost too high. 0.99

00:27:44.000 That's just dumb. 0.98

00:27:45.140 Why would you take the time to pick it up and then turn it all in? 0.99

00:27:49.700 That doesn't make any sense.

00:27:50.360 It's a fascinating question.

00:27:51.780 It really is.

00:27:52.680 It doesn't make any sense.

00:27:53.920 Did you get a reward or something?

00:27:55.440 Yeah, the guy did give her $500, and he said he was going to buy a used car.

00:27:58.860 That's what he was doing.

00:27:59.480 That's why he left it there.

00:28:00.300 Because, of course, the police asked, why were you traveling with that $21,000? 0.93

00:28:04.400 That's none of your stinking business.

00:28:06.260 What are you going to do? 0.97

00:28:06.900 Take it from me in this civil asset forfeiture situation?

00:28:10.200 Is that what you're going to do?

00:28:11.020 Don't tempt them.

00:28:11.960 Don't tempt them.

00:28:12.440 I know.

00:28:13.200 I know.

00:28:13.860 Because, yes, their answer is yes.

00:28:14.960 He was lucky to get it back.

00:28:16.100 Right.

00:28:16.920 Yeah.

00:28:17.840 Man, that just, it's not, it's so un-American and so unconstitutional that I can't even believe

00:28:26.440 we have to be discussing it.

00:28:28.060 I know.

00:28:29.280 I know.

00:28:29.720 But on the other hand, if you lose $21,000, if you leave $21,000 in the bathroom, you

00:28:35.680 deserve to lose it.

00:28:36.840 I will say this in your defense, and I don't like to ever defend Jeff Fisher of the Chewing

00:28:43.760 the Fat podcast.

00:28:45.440 But what I will say is, at least for myself, I absolutely would take that standard.

00:28:52.120 Like, if I left $21,000 in a bathroom somehow, I would absolutely 100% blame myself for leaving

00:29:00.280 it there.

00:29:00.580 And figure it's gone.

00:29:00.720 And figure it's gone.

00:29:01.640 Yeah.

00:29:01.860 And if the person didn't turn it in, I would be pissed about it, but I would also realize

00:29:05.860 it's not their fault as much as it's my fault.

00:29:08.220 Right.

00:29:08.740 Yeah.

00:29:08.960 I gave them the opportunity there.

00:29:10.860 Yeah.

00:29:11.020 You gotta have some responsibility for, if you're carrying around $21,000 and putting it in

00:29:17.620 a bathroom stall.

00:29:18.940 You're leaving it in a subway bathroom?

00:29:20.660 No.

00:29:21.020 Come on.

00:29:21.740 That's an honest person who's turning that in.

00:29:24.540 That's hard to do, right?

00:29:26.680 If you got $21,000 in cash, there's no way it can be traced back to you.

00:29:30.640 You could just walk out with it.

00:29:32.560 You could.

00:29:32.980 What an honest person.

00:29:34.120 That's awesome.

00:29:34.740 I know.

00:29:35.220 It was so nice of her.

00:29:36.160 Yeah.

00:29:36.400 It feels great.

00:29:37.080 I was happy for her.

00:29:38.940 The only reason we know about it is because she turned it in. 1.00

00:29:41.780 Dumb. 0.99

00:29:42.840 Hey, if you're looking for a gig, though, and you need, say you lost $21,000 in a subway 0.99

00:29:48.040 bathroom and you need a job, Big Tech has got some jobs open.

00:29:51.680 In Washington, D.C.

00:29:54.700 Amazon's got 76 openings for government affairs.

00:29:57.920 Apple has 98 openings for government affairs.

00:30:00.760 Facebook has 583 openings for public policy managers.

00:30:04.880 And Google has 103 openings for public policy managers.

00:30:07.780 So there's, you know, there's work to be had.

00:30:10.080 And I won't hear.

00:30:11.220 I won't hear that social media is in bed with the government.

00:30:14.260 I won't hear of it.

00:30:15.080 I don't want to hear that they have anything to do with it.

00:30:17.480 No, you're talking about a few thousand people.

00:30:19.360 Thank you.

00:30:19.900 I mean, come on.

00:30:20.620 Thank you. 0.75

00:30:21.400 I mean, it's just it's just ridiculous.

00:30:22.940 But it's a good gig. 0.72

00:30:23.740 Right.

00:30:23.940 I mean, as a side note to another gig that if you're looking for a job, you might want

00:30:27.300 to head down to Florida if you're a building inspector, because they're going to be inspecting

00:30:31.260 all buildings in Florida up and down the coast now.

00:30:34.180 No kidding.

00:30:35.120 So that's that might be a good job to go down to Florida and say, hey, I'm a building inspector.

00:30:40.800 And I guess I did inspect this building.

00:30:43.480 Right.

00:30:43.720 I mean, I heard one building inspector say, yes, we inspected it.

00:30:47.140 We saw some issues, but we did not think it was going to collapse.

00:30:50.260 Correct.

00:30:51.100 And even just within a couple of days of before it collapsed, he saw the damage.

00:30:56.860 There were pictures posted of the damage in the pool room and everything.

00:31:00.700 And he was saying how bad it was.

00:31:02.400 And even they knew that it was bad.

00:31:04.820 They'd put it off for several years.

00:31:07.120 They've been doing a little bit of maintenance, but not what really needed to be done was going

00:31:11.680 to be millions of dollars.

00:31:12.820 The owners were going to have to put in a bunch of money.

00:31:15.560 And so they were, you know, they're we're to believe that they were on it.

00:31:19.440 Right.

00:31:20.000 And I guess that the policy is every 40 years they go through a full full check.

00:31:26.060 It's like, it seems like maybe that's a little too long that up a little bit.

00:31:31.200 Yeah.

00:31:31.440 Like maybe 20.

00:31:32.220 I went to every one of these stories that happens and then it sends you on this like

00:31:36.820 long Internet day.

00:31:39.340 It happens all the time where you're just on this long Internet trail of reading about

00:31:42.640 things or watching videos about things that you'd never, ever consider thinking about

00:31:46.120 before.

00:31:46.720 Yep.

00:31:47.040 So I went on one of these on reinforced concrete the other day.

00:31:51.540 No, you want to talk about a fascinating topic.

00:31:53.940 Oh, man.

00:31:54.500 You know, reinforced concrete.

00:31:56.380 How can me?

00:31:57.600 Well, the circumference of the rebar that you use in the reinforced concrete.

00:32:01.200 Not that I've ever done that.

00:32:02.680 Okay.

00:32:03.700 So one of the things that when they came up with reinforced concrete and they started building

00:32:08.220 everything out of it, they believed that these buildings would last for a thousand years

00:32:12.940 because you've got concrete plus the steel.

00:32:15.160 Right.

00:32:15.720 And this is going to be the strongest thing in the world.

00:32:18.400 And over time, what they've realized is because the concrete's not perfect, moisture penetrates

00:32:25.980 through the concrete.

00:32:27.020 It gets to the steel inside, which rusts the steel.

00:32:31.160 And then that steel.

00:32:32.880 What is reinforcing the concrete isn't reinforcing it.

00:32:36.380 Then begins to rust and then begins to expand, which pushes out on the concrete, which causes

00:32:42.440 more gaps, which causes more rust.

00:32:44.760 And they're now saying instead of a thousand years, it's more like 50 to a hundred.

00:32:48.920 Maybe.

00:32:49.240 Yeah.

00:32:49.600 And that is going to be, we have a lot of buildings.

00:32:52.360 Yes, we do.

00:32:53.100 That were made out of this and are still made out of this.

00:32:55.920 And now they do have ways, they do have ways to help this if they actually do it.

00:33:01.180 Because the problem is as well, you don't see the steel bars.

00:33:05.180 They're inside the concrete.

00:33:06.380 So you can't inspect them and see where the rust is.

00:33:08.700 Uh, so what, I guess they have a way of doing it where they actually send electricity through

00:33:14.460 the steel and that somehow, again, I, I stopped about this point, but somehow they put the

00:33:22.180 electricity through and it, it, it helps alleviate this if they, if they know to do it or do it

00:33:27.860 at the right time.

00:33:28.900 Um, but like we have, you know, a lot of buildings built, made out of this material that are all

00:33:33.860 at that 50 to 60 year level.

00:33:37.440 Right.

00:33:37.460 I mean, that was, uh, 1980 was boom times in Florida.

00:33:41.960 They were building left and right.

00:33:43.100 And I don't know if you know that you used to talk about moisture, uh, getting in and

00:33:46.440 rusting the rebar and the, the concrete.

00:33:49.260 Um, Florida is a swamp.

00:33:51.340 Uh, so there's plenty of moisture.

00:33:54.040 Yeah.

00:33:54.200 And you know, I was down in Miami for, uh, for new year's weekend and it was right on

00:34:01.420 the beach and it's the, it was the windiest place I've ever been in my life.

00:34:05.700 Like it was as if there was an ongoing hurricane the entire weekend and there wasn't an ongoing

00:34:12.120 hurricane, but it was really windy.

00:34:13.760 I mean, there's a lot of pressure on these buildings, uh, not to mention obviously salt

00:34:17.340 water being blown up and everything else.

00:34:19.120 So it is, it's a, and the, the period you talk about, uh, Jeffy in the eighties boom

00:34:25.500 time where all of these builders really do it, everything up, up on the up and up at

00:34:32.200 that point.

00:34:33.020 How dare you?

00:34:34.600 Oh, yes.

00:34:36.160 I mean, you know what?

00:34:37.360 If you watch the documentary series, Miami vice, what you'll know is that not everyone

00:34:43.180 in Miami in this time was on the up and up.

00:34:45.700 Really?

00:34:46.220 Yeah.

00:34:46.500 It's shocking to hear.

00:34:47.500 Wow.

00:34:47.700 There's a lot going on at that time.

00:34:49.960 Really?

00:34:50.360 What, what could be going on?

00:34:51.980 Yeah.

00:34:52.120 There's an interesting guy who hosted the show.

00:34:53.860 He had a white suit and, uh, often a white tie and then a teal shirt and it was a very

00:34:59.940 strange combination, but, uh, I mean, it's just a, it's a, going to be a nightmare for

00:35:07.420 these buildings.

00:35:08.440 They, you know, they need to be inspecting.

00:35:10.440 They're inspecting 400 right now.

00:35:12.760 Yeah.

00:35:13.000 And then that's going to expand all the way up and down the coast.

00:35:16.940 And so, I mean, you got 400 buildings just in that area of Miami to, to look at.

00:35:23.320 Uh, and everybody, if you lived on the beach in Miami, in one of these buildings that were

00:35:29.600 built around that time, you're a little nervous.

00:35:31.360 I'd be for moving right now.

00:35:32.860 Oh, I'd be for moving.

00:35:34.020 I love that.

00:35:34.520 I thought of you actually, Jeffy, when, when they were giving the other advice, like, look,

00:35:38.760 you know, that other building that's got the same name down the street that was built

00:35:43.640 at the same time by the same people.

00:35:46.640 Totally.

00:35:47.200 Okay.

00:35:47.640 You don't need to evacuate it.

00:35:49.100 It's a beautiful building.

00:35:51.100 It's a, it's a, it's a, it's the strongest building ever.

00:35:55.180 Yeah.

00:35:55.480 Don't worry.

00:35:57.060 Just stay put.

00:35:58.660 Yeah.

00:35:58.980 No big deal.

00:36:00.400 How about you zip it?

00:36:01.400 Yeah.

00:36:01.520 Go up to your, go up to your apartment.

00:36:03.560 Okay.

00:36:03.940 I say, there's no way I'm staying in that place.

00:36:07.320 I don't care if I'm sleeping on the beach every night.

00:36:09.560 Yeah.

00:36:09.780 And you might be.

00:36:10.440 I don't even know if I go back to get my stuff.

00:36:12.660 I don't.

00:36:14.240 Going back in that building.

00:36:15.800 Sorry.

00:36:16.380 I know.

00:36:16.760 I'm going to start over somewhere else.

00:36:18.860 Somewhere else.

00:36:19.480 Absolutely.

00:36:20.160 And I'd like to congratulate, uh, well, we can either talk about congestion on the highways

00:36:24.740 or the state of California and their, uh, their state funded travel restrictions.

00:36:29.740 You choose, you get to choose.

00:36:31.300 We can go.

00:36:31.760 Choose your news.

00:36:32.520 Choose your news from chewing the fat.

00:36:35.160 You get to have traffic congestion or, well, ask if we can go to traffic congestion because

00:36:39.560 California is in that, involved in that too.

00:36:41.660 Los Angeles has lost its title.

00:36:43.280 It's had a title of the, the most congested, uh, roads in 30 years.

00:36:48.600 It lost its title to New York, Newark.

00:36:51.860 Yep.

00:36:52.260 Uh, 56 hours.

00:36:53.860 Uh, geez.

00:36:54.600 All of it's a way down because no one was driving.

00:36:57.780 So, right.

00:36:58.600 Los Angeles has 46.

00:37:00.560 So it went down, you know, it's still pretty good.

00:37:03.080 Uh, there's still a lot of hours in the car, stuck in the car here in the DFW area.

00:37:07.700 We're about 40, 41, something like that.

00:37:10.100 How we're stuck in the car, uh, for traffic wise.

00:37:12.680 But it's, you only spent, uh, my part of town.

00:37:15.580 Really?

00:37:16.460 Traffic is more.

00:37:17.320 It's not that bad where we are.

00:37:19.000 Come on.

00:37:19.400 It's where we, on our side of town.

00:37:21.240 It's not that bad.

00:37:22.560 It's not that bad.

00:37:23.340 It's, it's starting to get back.

00:37:24.320 Yes, it is.

00:37:24.940 It is starting to get back to that.

00:37:26.420 Houston is number three.

00:37:27.500 And I know that Houston is a favorite of yours.

00:37:29.900 Yeah.

00:37:30.040 Houston is really bad.

00:37:31.200 It's got bad traffic.

00:37:32.000 Yes.

00:37:32.440 Bad weather, bad traffic.

00:37:34.020 I like everything else.

00:37:35.420 I thought you liked it all.

00:37:36.460 Well, except for the weather.

00:37:37.980 Oh, okay.

00:37:38.420 And the traffic.

00:37:38.940 Okay.

00:37:39.400 Yeah.

00:37:39.580 And we're sort of in that period now where in between like the COVID era and the fully

00:37:44.280 open era.

00:37:44.760 Yes.

00:37:45.260 And it's, it's interesting.

00:37:46.160 You look at some of the stats and it's like restaurants are back basically in Texas to

00:37:50.500 a 100% of what they were before, before the pandemic office attendance is like 38%.

00:37:57.120 Right.

00:37:57.640 Right.

00:37:58.020 Oh yeah.

00:37:58.420 And like a lot of that is just like, Hey, people.

00:38:00.320 I don't know if that ever gets back to where it was.

00:38:01.760 I don't think it does get back to a hundred.

00:38:02.780 Right.

00:38:03.140 I think people just, you know, they've realized, Hey, we can be pretty efficient at home.

00:38:06.440 We can do it at home.

00:38:07.060 And why the hell are we going in there every day?

00:38:09.060 Right.

00:38:09.220 I don't want to see Jeffy.

00:38:10.540 Why would I go?

00:38:11.500 Right.

00:38:11.720 You know, if I can not see him, why wouldn't I just stay home?

00:38:15.300 Exactly.

00:38:15.840 And honestly, like what if we have Jeffy stay home?

00:38:19.060 You know, he can do his work.

00:38:20.100 But I want to come in though.

00:38:21.000 I know.

00:38:21.720 I want to come in.

00:38:22.260 And your family wants you to come in, but we're thinking that maybe you should stay

00:38:25.380 home.

00:38:25.960 You sure?

00:38:26.540 Yeah.

00:38:26.980 Positive.

00:38:27.640 Yeah.

00:38:28.060 Just save gas.

00:38:29.180 And if you're going to come in.

00:38:30.120 It's almost like a pay raise to have you stay at home.

00:38:32.480 Oh yeah.

00:38:33.060 And don't have to spend the, you know, the gas mileage.

00:38:35.120 Yeah.

00:38:35.320 Because gas is great.

00:38:35.820 Wear and tear on your car.

00:38:36.980 Yeah.

00:38:37.140 And all those things.

00:38:37.840 This is for you.

00:38:39.700 Oh, thank you.

00:38:40.220 We're thinking of you.

00:38:41.520 Yeah.

00:38:41.720 And if you want to come in, what if you came into a different building?

00:38:46.040 Maybe the opposite direction.

00:38:47.780 You know, what if we purchased another studio and built it 50 miles west?

00:38:51.820 You would do that for me?

00:38:53.600 Right.

00:38:54.120 Well, no, but I'm sure there's one that exists run by somebody else.

00:38:57.520 There we go.

00:40:15.080 Better for America. 0.62

00:40:16.060 Yesterday, we talked about Bobby Bonilla Day, which is July 1st every year, where former

00:40:26.140 Major League Baseball player Bobby Bonilla has a contract that pays...

00:40:30.460 Greatest deal of all time.

00:40:31.200 Great.

00:40:31.620 It's awesome.

00:40:32.500 He gets paid $1.2 million from the New York Mets until 2035.

00:40:37.160 He'll be 72 years old in 2035, by the way.

00:40:40.180 And that was instead of getting one $5.9 million deal, the reason the Mets seem to have done

00:40:46.720 it is because they were investing with Bernie Madoff at the time, and they figured if they

00:40:49.600 pushed these payments way down the line, it wouldn't matter.

00:40:52.400 They'd make so much money on the Madoff money.

00:40:54.640 Anyway, I've heard that story every year, and I love telling it every year, and it's

00:40:58.600 one of my favorite stories in sports.

00:41:00.400 I've never heard this part of it, though.

00:41:03.420 Bobby Bonilla also has another deal like this with the Baltimore Orioles.

00:41:09.700 I've never heard that either.

00:41:11.320 He is making $500,000 a year every year on July 1st until 2029 from the Orioles.

00:41:19.700 So he's actually getting $1.7 million plus, almost $2 million a year until 2029, and then

00:41:29.180 $1.2 million until 2035.

00:41:32.680 Unreal.

00:41:32.920 I think you should try to defer it again.

00:41:34.420 Just be like, all right, now give me $800,000 until 2090.

00:41:37.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:40.400 Well, I got four people out.

00:41:42.140 Mm-hmm.

00:41:42.440 You know, four people protesting.

00:41:43.980 Yeah.

00:41:44.340 That's pretty good.

00:41:45.160 It's powerful.

00:41:46.100 Powerful.

00:41:46.620 There's certainly no crackdown.

00:41:48.180 No, no.

00:41:48.940 No.

00:41:49.560 And by the way, we should point out, the Chinese government, wow, they're...

00:41:55.820 Can I tell you?

00:41:56.420 They get things done.

00:41:57.720 Okay?

00:41:58.620 They get things done.

00:42:00.160 They are leading the way on climate.

00:42:02.380 I'll say that.

00:42:02.840 Yeah.

00:42:02.960 Well, they're on the cutting edge, according to Al Gore.

00:42:04.940 Yeah.

00:42:05.500 Cutting edge.

00:42:06.220 The cutting edge.

00:42:06.760 Now, when we say cutting edge, leading the way, it does mean also that they lead the world

00:42:12.040 into missions.

00:42:13.260 By a lot.

00:42:14.040 By a lot.

00:42:14.620 They passed us a long time ago.

00:42:16.060 A long time ago.

00:42:16.720 Yeah.

00:42:17.360 But...

00:42:17.800 2018?

00:42:18.120 They're on the cutting edge.

00:42:19.400 No, it was even...

00:42:20.140 I was older.

00:42:20.540 Before that?

00:42:20.960 Yeah.

00:42:21.580 Yeah.

00:42:22.360 By the way, the whole Chinese thing...

00:42:27.140 Did we talk about this on the air?

00:42:28.380 I can't remember where this interview with Mark Cuban, where Cuban is like answering all

00:42:34.920 these questions.

00:42:35.540 And, you know, as you'd expect, he's a billionaire.

00:42:37.300 He can say what he wants.

00:42:38.600 He's answering every single question totally confidently, easily, no problems.

00:42:42.880 Everything's rolling off his tongue.

00:42:44.580 And they get to China and the NBA.

00:42:46.120 And he's like, oh, well, countries, and I don't want to...

00:42:53.840 You shouldn't judge...

00:42:55.180 Well, let me get back to...

00:42:57.080 I can't really comment...

00:42:58.900 What's it...

00:42:59.420 It was unbelievable.

00:43:00.600 I mean, they're terrified.

00:43:01.680 Terrified.

00:43:01.800 Yeah, they are.

00:43:02.280 These guys.

00:43:02.820 They are.

00:43:04.800 Thank you.

00:43:05.180 Thank you.

00:43:16.120 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:30.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:34.980 Featuring Pat and Stu today for Glenn.

00:43:40.060 We got this presidential historian survey. 0.98

00:43:42.240 These are always fascinating to me because presidential historians are normally numbskulls who are complete buffoons. 0.99

00:43:53.260 So, in addition to being numbskulls, they're also total buffoons. 1.00

00:43:57.860 But we'll get to their incredible list of the best presidents in the history of the country coming up here in just 60 seconds. 0.95

00:44:09.100 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:16.820 I'm at the ranch right now, and I'm going to be plugged in as I get onto my tractor, more of a bulldozer now, and move some earth and then hit the hills.

00:44:25.640 I'll be wearing a pair of Raycon wireless earbuds in my ears so I can listen to podcasts or I can listen to great music while I make hay, if you will.

00:44:35.700 You'll get crisp, powerful beats at half the price of other premium audio brands.

00:45:12.720 All right, so there have been 45.

00:45:31.820 We've got the 45th president in office right now.

00:45:34.060 So the top 44 presidents listed by presidential historians.

00:45:39.780 This is a survey I usually see around President's Day.

00:45:44.020 Yeah.

00:45:44.420 But I don't remember seeing it this year.

00:45:46.520 Maybe they just waited until now to come out here.

00:45:49.920 Yeah, COVID.

00:45:50.460 It was COVID.

00:45:51.080 Right, COVID-19.

00:45:52.480 Yeah.

00:45:53.700 So let's start with the worst president of all time.

00:45:58.600 This is perennially the worst president of all time.

00:46:01.620 You know who they usually pick as the worst?

00:46:04.020 Number 44.

00:46:07.100 Hoover?

00:46:08.300 Nope.

00:46:09.260 They don't like Hoover.

00:46:10.320 They don't like Hoover.

00:46:10.580 He's usually towards the bottom.

00:46:11.600 Hoover is 36, so he is near the bottom.

00:46:15.020 James Buchanan.

00:46:15.960 Yeah. 0.95

00:46:16.720 Our first gay president. 0.65

00:46:18.660 I don't know. 0.91

00:46:19.620 I don't know if they're homophobic or what, but they always list James Buchanan dead last

00:46:25.380 among American presidents.

00:46:26.900 Yes, they do.

00:46:27.960 Sad.

00:46:28.580 Sad.

00:46:28.900 Sad.

00:46:28.960 We also have, let's see, just start at the, at number 10.

00:46:36.820 So the top 10.

00:46:38.140 Oh, wait. 0.60

00:46:38.500 You're not going to do more of the crappy ones? 0.92

00:46:40.200 Well, yeah. 0.90

00:46:40.600 I want to know more of the crappy ones. 0.83

00:46:41.580 Okay. 0.97

00:46:42.000 Give me some crappy presidents, according to historians. 0.82

00:46:45.900 Now, number 43. 0.96

00:46:47.420 So 44 is James Buchanan.

00:46:49.400 Number 43, Andrew Johnson.

00:46:51.600 At number 42, Franklin Pierce.

00:46:58.140 Presidents people don't know much about, right?

00:46:59.900 No, yeah.

00:47:00.280 Franklin Pierce.

00:47:01.460 Name three things Franklin Pierce accomplished in office.

00:47:06.040 I can actually remember the day that I realized John Tyler was president of the United States.

00:47:11.740 I had, I went through my entire life not knowing about John Tyler.

00:47:17.280 John Tyler.

00:47:17.880 And I remember, John Tyler?

00:47:19.380 Who the hell is John Tyler?

00:47:20.980 Well, he's the 39th best president in the history of the country.

00:47:24.220 These guys at the end.

00:47:25.600 Yeah.

00:47:25.960 You really realize are not there.

00:47:28.260 They're not.

00:47:29.080 They're just not.

00:47:29.560 A lot of them are just not known.

00:47:30.840 No, they're not.

00:47:31.440 This, this next one at number 41 is definitely known.

00:47:35.160 Donald J. Trump, they list at 41.

00:47:38.080 I will say, I am stunned he is not 44.

00:47:43.520 I am stunned he is not in last place.

00:47:44.460 According to presidential historians, yeah, that's a good point.

00:47:47.360 Again, like, these guys always put progressive presidents up at the top and conservative presidents near the bottom.

00:47:54.640 The fact that they didn't put Trump at 44 out of 44 is stunning to me. 0.98

00:47:58.820 They must hate gay people like President Buchanan. 0.99

00:48:02.040 Yes, yes. 0.98

00:48:03.320 William Harry, William Henry Harrison, 40th.

00:48:07.220 How was he president for like nine days?

00:48:10.180 How long was Harrison president?

00:48:12.400 Yeah, is he the one that died really quickly?

00:48:14.420 Wasn't he the one?

00:48:15.460 I can't get these guys confused now.

00:48:17.760 Me too.

00:48:20.260 It might have been McKinley.

00:48:23.120 McKinley wasn't president very long either.

00:48:24.980 Maybe that's the one I'm on.

00:48:27.320 Okay, so then John Tyler, as we mentioned, at 39.

00:48:30.860 Millard Fillmore, 38.

00:48:33.320 Harding, 37.

00:48:35.620 Herbert Hoover, at 36, as we mentioned.

00:48:38.560 Zachary Taylor, 35th.

00:48:40.860 Martin Van Buren.

00:48:42.900 Rutherford B. Hayes, 33.

00:48:45.140 Benjamin Harrison.

00:48:46.020 Richard Nixon.

00:48:47.280 Okay, so.

00:48:47.740 Hold on.

00:48:48.380 So, William Henry Harrison.

00:48:49.740 Yeah.

00:48:49.980 His presidency lasted from March 4th, 1841 to April 4th, 1841.

00:48:57.820 Wow.

00:48:58.820 That's not a.

00:48:59.840 March to April.

00:49:00.640 Yeah.

00:49:00.940 Like a month.

00:49:01.460 Not a good run.

00:49:02.540 I mean, I kid you.

00:49:03.540 That's unfair.

00:49:04.600 Why?

00:49:04.840 He should be like number one.

00:49:05.920 He couldn't have screwed up that bad.

00:49:07.320 Is he the one that caught pneumonia?

00:49:08.620 Yeah.

00:49:08.800 I think he was out doing the, yeah, the speech.

00:49:14.200 Chester A.

00:49:15.220 Arthur, too.

00:49:16.720 Very obscure president.

00:49:19.420 He, at number 30.

00:49:20.540 George Bush at 29.

00:49:21.760 George W. Bush.

00:49:22.580 George W. Bush.

00:49:22.780 Yeah, you know, it's interesting.

00:49:24.320 George W. Bush is now moving up on these lists.

00:49:26.620 You're noticing.

00:49:27.220 He was.

00:49:27.680 He went from 33 to 29 this time.

00:49:29.580 And this is why you can't look at these recent presidents with any level of honesty.

00:49:35.900 These guys cannot do it.

00:49:37.240 True.

00:49:37.720 Because Bush was the worst guy in the world in 2009 and 10.

00:49:41.460 And now that Trump has come in and now he's the worst guy in the world, you can move Bush

00:49:46.140 up and say, Bush was good.

00:49:48.580 Look at the comparison.

00:49:50.280 And by the way, the same.

00:49:51.660 I know it seems impossible.

00:49:53.220 But the same thing will happen with whoever runs next.

00:49:56.600 If Ron DeSantis is the candidate, they will say, geez, we thought Trump was bad.

00:50:01.120 But Ron DeSantis is worse.

00:50:03.700 They did it with Mitt Romney.

00:50:05.940 Remember that?

00:50:06.460 They're like, gosh, we thought George Bush was bad.

00:50:10.220 But Mitt Romney, he's worse.

00:50:13.180 They do it every single time.

00:50:15.180 Right.

00:50:15.740 And Bush is gone in the surveys.

00:50:17.360 They do this 2009 survey, 2017, 2021.

00:50:21.340 So Bush in that time has gone 36 to 33 to 29.

00:50:26.160 See?

00:50:26.920 Yeah.

00:50:27.200 He's moving up.

00:50:28.040 He's moving up.

00:50:28.540 Moving up the charts.

00:50:30.040 Another four places.

00:50:31.620 George W. Bush.

00:50:32.660 Like, has he accomplished something new?

00:50:35.320 What has happened to make him go from 36 to 29?

00:50:39.040 It's the perception.

00:50:40.160 Yeah.

00:50:40.520 You know, you're right.

00:50:41.640 History tells the story, I guess.

00:50:43.180 Gerald Ford, who was not a great president, was number 28.

00:50:47.420 Garfield and Carter next.

00:50:49.940 Carter should be way lower than 26. 0.71

00:50:52.140 That's ridiculous. 0.99

00:50:52.660 He's one of the worst of all time. 0.99

00:50:54.060 He should probably be in the 40s.

00:50:56.220 Late 30s to the early 40s.

00:50:58.240 Grover Cleveland, they list at 25.

00:51:00.180 One of our greatest.

00:51:01.320 This is one of our greatest presidents of all time.

00:51:03.460 This guy, to me, is top three.

00:51:04.980 Yep.

00:51:05.540 He's definitely top three.

00:51:07.540 Calvin Coolidge.

00:51:08.960 And they have him 24.

00:51:09.960 How is Calvin Coolidge at 24?

00:51:12.060 That is a disgrace.

00:51:13.360 It really is.

00:51:14.440 24?

00:51:15.360 It really is.

00:51:15.860 I mean, I agree with you.

00:51:17.460 I think he's probably my favorite president.

00:51:21.260 Maybe my second or third favorite, but he's right up there.

00:51:24.000 He should be up there at the top.

00:51:25.760 That's a terrible miscarriage of justice.

00:51:28.540 For me, he's up there with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln.

00:51:33.560 He's right up there with those guys.

00:51:35.860 He was a great president.

00:51:39.140 Let's see.

00:51:39.780 Clinton is down at number 19 now.

00:51:42.400 Clinton has kind of gone the other way.

00:51:44.140 He's gone 14, 15, 19.

00:51:47.640 Same with George H.W. Bush.

00:51:49.760 18, 20, then 21.

00:51:51.840 It's interesting that those guys are going backwards for some reason.

00:51:54.840 James K. Polk is a guy you don't hear about much since we dropped James K. Polk Tuesdays

00:51:59.760 doing Pat and Stu years ago.

00:52:01.940 We finally got tired of doing it.

00:52:05.000 But he's listed at number 18.

00:52:06.880 That's not bad.

00:52:08.380 That's not bad.

00:52:09.540 All right.

00:52:09.780 The top 10.

00:52:11.840 Barack Obama at number 10.

00:52:14.140 Just above him at number 9.

00:52:17.560 This is way too low, I think.

00:52:19.020 Ronald Reagan, 9th.

00:52:20.600 Why would you put Reagan?

00:52:22.240 I'm surprised he's 9th, actually, on a list like this.

00:52:25.660 If I was going to put him, I'd have him higher.

00:52:29.300 But 9th isn't bad for presidential historians.

00:52:31.960 I'm shocked that they put him 9th.

00:52:33.980 That's stunning for historians.

00:52:36.400 JFK, who always is overrated, number 8.

00:52:41.260 Thomas. 0.82

00:52:41.800 That's ridiculous. 0.99

00:52:42.680 Yeah, it is ridiculous. 0.99

00:52:43.280 He didn't even complete a term. 0.95

00:52:44.940 Again, not his fault.

00:52:46.060 Right.

00:52:46.380 But still, you have to take that into account.

00:52:48.660 He did some good things, though.

00:52:49.460 He stared down the Soviets.

00:52:50.860 He had the vision of the moonshot.

00:52:55.720 And he lowered taxes.

00:52:58.280 Yep.

00:52:58.540 In a big way.

00:52:59.340 Not bad.

00:52:59.580 I would not put him at the bottom, but he's not a top 10 president.

00:53:03.400 He didn't serve enough time, I think, to be a top 10 president.

00:53:06.500 Right.

00:53:08.440 Let's see.

00:53:09.000 Thomas Jefferson, number 7.

00:53:10.420 Way too low for Thomas Jefferson.

00:53:13.020 Harry Truman is above Thomas Jefferson at number 6.

00:53:16.060 No.

00:53:16.420 No.

00:53:17.600 Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 5th best president of all time.

00:53:21.500 Hmm.

00:53:22.080 Hmm.

00:53:22.760 Kind of ambivalent on that one.

00:53:24.980 Then you get to Theodore Roosevelt.

00:53:26.660 I'm not ambivalent on that.

00:53:27.780 That's terrible at number 4.

00:53:29.160 Terrible ranking.

00:53:30.080 And even worse is number 3, FDR.

00:53:32.600 Yeah, those are terrible.

00:53:33.460 At number 3, no.

00:53:35.240 FDR is definitely near the bottom of this list.

00:53:38.500 Definitely one of the worst presidents of all time.

00:53:41.780 In fact, we skipped over Lyndon Baines Johnson, who's listed at number 11.

00:53:46.620 He might be the all-time worst president.

00:53:50.160 Seriously, I think he is underrated in that discussion as one of the worst presidents of all time.

00:53:56.020 He is almost single-handedly responsible for all of our problems with debt.

00:54:03.580 Trillions and trillions of dollars can be attributed to him and the war on poverty. 0.94

00:54:08.440 And he was an out-of-control racist. 0.99

00:54:12.880 Racist. 1.00

00:54:13.960 Yep. 0.94

00:54:14.140 The fact that they...

00:54:15.140 And again, not racist.

00:54:16.140 I mean, look, Woodrow Wilson, who we didn't mention somehow on this program, which is terrible.

00:54:20.720 He's at number 13, which actually is probably...

00:54:23.260 Way too high.

00:54:24.260 He should be, obviously, in the 40s.

00:54:25.740 But, like, Wilson was a racist a lot earlier than Johnson.

00:54:32.280 Johnson was still doing the racist thing, you know, a half century later.

00:54:36.680 And here's the thing, the weird thing about Lyndon B. Johnson.

00:54:40.180 He's credited for the civil rights bill, for signing it.

00:54:43.880 Incredible.

00:54:44.660 Well, yeah, after he was forced into it, essentially.

00:54:48.760 And he fought it his entire life.

00:54:50.040 And he fought it right up till the time he signed it.

00:54:53.020 Really, he signed it out of political necessity.

00:54:56.300 He had to sign it.

00:54:57.760 And he finally did.

00:54:58.780 But he fought it the rest of his career.

00:55:01.580 That's...

00:55:02.220 It's despicable that he's listed at number 11.

00:55:05.500 Okay, going back to the...

00:55:06.760 Number two, George Washington.

00:55:10.580 And at...

00:55:11.100 Which I don't have a problem with, since you've got Abraham Lincoln at number one.

00:55:14.640 I mean, that's hard to argue with.

00:55:18.060 Although, Southerners would always argue with Abraham Lincoln being number one,

00:55:22.060 the best president of all time.

00:55:23.620 Yeah, I might put...

00:55:24.320 Look, Lincoln is a top five president, in my view.

00:55:28.360 But I'd probably put Washington ahead of him.

00:55:30.600 Yeah, I definitely would.

00:55:31.440 It's hard to put Washington behind anyone, I think, in a list like this.

00:55:35.540 I'd have Coolidge in the top five.

00:55:36.860 I think I'd have Reagan in the top five.

00:55:39.020 Jefferson, I could put in the top five as well.

00:55:41.060 For sure.

00:55:41.740 For me.

00:55:41.960 You know, Monroe?

00:55:43.900 James Monroe?

00:55:44.720 Not a top five guy.

00:55:46.100 No.

00:55:46.600 For me.

00:55:47.200 Madison is...

00:55:47.880 Madison, I would consider putting in the top five.

00:55:49.380 He's definitely top ten.

00:55:50.160 I don't know why he's so...

00:55:51.300 I mean, like his...

00:55:52.000 He's never listed high, though.

00:55:53.680 Yeah, you know, I think there's a separation.

00:55:56.220 It's hard for, I think, most people to separate his presidency versus his legacy.

00:56:01.820 Writing the Constitution.

00:56:02.860 Yeah, like, you know, he's one of the most important people in our country's history.

00:56:07.180 Yeah.

00:56:07.380 Some people rate his presidency a little bit lower.

00:56:10.280 Yeah.

00:56:10.560 But his contributions to this country, you'd put him in the top five for sure.

00:56:14.720 Yeah.

00:56:14.880 But, yeah, I'd put Reagan up there. 0.50

00:56:17.300 I would put Coolidge up there for sure.

00:56:20.500 And I would...

00:56:20.960 My bottom five has got Woodrow Wilson in it.

00:56:23.740 It's probably got Jimmy Carter in it.

00:56:25.660 It definitely has LBJ in it.

00:56:28.040 Yes.

00:56:28.580 I mean, those names, you can't look...

00:56:30.520 Yes.

00:56:30.780 You can't...

00:56:31.540 You can't look past them.

00:56:32.920 And I think maybe the best president of all time was William Henry Harrison.

00:56:36.860 Because he was only in there for a month and he couldn't screw things up.

00:56:39.240 He's the only one.

00:56:41.700 Right.

00:56:42.360 Right.

00:56:43.400 If I had to...

00:56:43.980 What if we did monthly presidents?

00:56:46.120 I mean, maybe we should think about this as a real long-term track.

00:56:49.040 Who had the best month as a president?

00:56:50.820 Yeah.

00:56:51.200 I think, though, that's the term limit we go with.

00:56:54.220 Four weeks.

00:56:56.400 You could run for...

00:56:57.340 You could be president for four weeks and then you get a second four-week term and then

00:57:01.260 your term limited out.

00:57:02.260 I like it.

00:57:03.280 We'd have a lot of elections, though.

00:57:04.500 I don't think I could take the election ads in this format.

00:57:07.520 This is like what they do in Israel.

00:57:09.240 Right now.

00:57:10.320 They just...

00:57:11.240 Hey, wait.

00:57:11.860 What if we just throw another election next week?

00:57:14.000 Let's just plan having a weekly election for the president.

00:57:18.860 You know...

00:57:19.260 And let's see if that guy can put together a government.

00:57:21.920 And then the next guy, in another month, we'll elect him.

00:57:25.900 See if he can put one together.

00:57:27.100 Maybe we shouldn't...

00:57:28.240 This is a crazy idea for a lot of these parliamentary democracies.

00:57:31.500 But maybe you don't have the president putting together a government.

00:57:36.020 Maybe that's not the way the system should work.

00:57:38.180 I don't know.

00:57:39.240 Yeah.

00:57:39.660 Maybe let the people elect representatives into a government.

00:57:45.200 And then you go with what the people elect.

00:57:48.460 Huh.

00:57:48.740 This is one of the most fascinating things about how the world has developed, I think.

00:57:52.320 Which is...

00:57:53.240 Yeah.

00:57:53.740 The United States comes out of nowhere.

00:57:56.080 This is July 4th.

00:57:57.140 Right?

00:57:57.380 We come out of nowhere.

00:57:58.700 We're the upstart kids in town.

00:58:00.420 We take over the league.

00:58:01.960 Right?

00:58:03.020 MVP every single year.

00:58:04.640 Mm-hmm.

00:58:04.980 And so few countries have decided to just emulate what we've done.

00:58:10.140 Follow the plan.

00:58:10.580 Like, they all try these little mixes on it.

00:58:13.640 Yeah.

00:58:13.720 They all have a little different way of going about it.

00:58:15.760 I mean, they've all moved from monarchies to toward democracy.

00:58:20.400 I mean, the world as a whole has gotten a lot better since the U.S. came through. 1.00

00:58:23.920 And we've had a lot of that influence.

00:58:25.000 But a lot of them just stick around with this, like, parliamentary democracy system.

00:58:29.300 All these things.

00:58:29.860 Like, look.

00:58:30.280 You know what you should do?

00:58:31.140 Look at our Constitution.

00:58:33.140 Put it...

00:58:33.600 When it says United States, change it to your name of your country.

00:58:37.360 That's what you should do.

00:58:38.440 Go in there.

00:58:39.600 Take the document.

00:58:41.000 Control H, I think it is.

00:58:43.480 Which is find and replace.

00:58:45.460 Okay.

00:58:45.740 Find United States.

00:58:47.000 Replace with Uganda or whatever country you are. 1.00

00:58:49.860 And then go with it.

00:58:51.080 Yeah.

00:58:51.480 That's easy.

00:58:52.720 Now, you want to tweak a thing here or there.

00:58:54.740 I can understand it.

00:58:55.780 Maybe your culture is a little bit different.

00:58:57.560 But we've set this up pretty well.

00:58:59.500 You've seen this works, right?

00:59:02.240 We've basically been the global superpower forever.

00:59:07.360 And people are just like, what if we try something totally different?

00:59:11.120 What if we put...

00:59:11.840 How about if we do a constitution on Twitter?

00:59:14.540 What if we did that?

00:59:15.600 Let's have a panel of kings. 0.66

00:59:17.660 We'll have nine kings and they can all...

00:59:20.280 It's like, why just do what we've done?

00:59:22.920 We've told you how to do it.

00:59:24.340 It works.

00:59:25.380 Right.

00:59:25.620 You all...

00:59:26.520 It's like, well, we're going to have totally different laws.

00:59:29.020 But at the same time, I want to mention, all of our people should be able to illegally

00:59:33.360 cross the border to go into that place all the time.

00:59:35.660 And it's hateful if you don't allow them to do it.

00:59:38.320 Wait.

00:59:38.800 You could just have this where you are.

00:59:41.720 It's not the land that has made this place great.

00:59:45.240 It's not the location.

00:59:46.420 It's not the climate.

00:59:48.220 It's the constitution and the founding documents that have made this place great, among other

00:59:53.560 things.

00:59:54.600 Just try to emulate that as close as you can.

00:59:58.460 It's not rocket science.

01:00:00.100 It's not.

01:00:00.680 We've already shown you how to do it.

01:00:01.700 Or we could go to Twitter.

01:00:03.540 Hey, send us some amendments.

01:00:05.940 A tweet at Iceland's got a new constitution on Twitter.

01:00:11.440 And we'll put them in there.

01:00:12.780 No more than 244 characters, though.

01:00:17.400 888-727-BECK.

01:00:23.220 You've heard me talk about MyPillow and how it literally has changed my sleep and my energy

01:00:26.800 all day.

01:00:27.340 I met Mike Lindell, the inventor of MyPillow, and he fit me for my own pillow.

01:00:30.980 I didn't know that you had to do that, but you do.

01:00:33.440 And when you get the right pillow, it's unbelievable.

01:00:35.760 All right.

01:00:36.080 Pillows don't go flat.

01:00:37.020 You can wash them, dry them.

01:00:38.300 They stay fluffed up all night.

01:00:40.140 They're made in the USA.

01:00:41.020 If you don't have a MyPillow or you know somebody who doesn't, listen, get one.

01:00:45.340 They are really, really great.

01:00:47.160 And now is the time to buy for a very limited time.

01:00:49.860 Mike Lindell is offering his premium MyPillows at his lowest price ever.

01:00:53.800 You can get a standard queen premium MyPillow for $29.98, originally $69.98.

01:00:59.680 It's a $40 savings.

01:01:01.320 King size are $5 more.

01:01:03.260 This is a limited time.

01:01:05.420 These are the lowest prices ever.

01:01:07.160 You get a 60-day money-back guarantee.

01:01:09.080 You don't like it, ship it back.

01:01:10.260 Just go to MyPillow.com, click on the new radio listener specials, and you'll find not

01:01:13.740 only this amazing offer, but deep discounts on all MyPillow products.

01:01:17.000 Use the promo code BECK, B-E-C-K, or call 800-966-3117.

01:01:21.880 It's MyPillow.com.

01:01:23.240 We're still trying to noodle out how these other countries can make a successful government.

01:01:42.860 We've shown them the way, and they just won't follow us, apparently.

01:01:46.400 And so they're doing things like, wait a minute.

01:01:50.040 What if we continue to pretend like we're a monarchy?

01:01:55.380 This will be fun.

01:01:56.860 And we make the people pay for a royal family who has no actual power, but will give them

01:02:04.600 billions of dollars every year.

01:02:06.960 They can fight amongst themselves like they're the Clampants and the, who are the two war 0.86

01:02:16.940 factions?

01:02:18.040 Not the Clampants, because the Clampants were fine.

01:02:23.300 But they don't have any power.

01:02:25.120 That's the beauty of it.

01:02:26.380 Yeah, but they can dominate, and we'll have them dominate all the news coverage, instead 1.00

01:02:32.380 of actually the people making the laws.

01:02:34.460 Oh, oh, and the Prime Minister should be able to call for an election whenever they want.

01:02:39.340 Right.

01:02:39.940 That's a great idea.

01:02:41.700 Let's not schedule it in advance.

01:02:44.040 Let's just have the person who has the power decide when the best chance of them having more

01:02:49.080 power will be.

01:02:49.940 And what if we go to the Queen and pretend we're asking her for permission to put together

01:02:55.500 a government?

01:02:56.800 Or how about this one?

01:02:58.000 What if we take someone who used to be in the FSB and was probably responsible for dozens

01:03:04.520 of murders, and we give him the presidency, and let him execute all of his political opponents? 0.91

01:03:11.400 He can just poison people who oppose him. 0.85

01:03:13.720 And then we'll pretend like he's term limited, and we'll let the president be his best friend

01:03:20.360 who holds the presidency for four years, and we'll put the other guy back in.

01:03:25.480 Yeah, okay.

01:03:26.160 That sounds great.

01:03:27.580 And what if we then set a deadline of 2036 when he has to leave?

01:03:33.300 Yeah, because it'll only be 38 years by then.

01:03:36.720 That's great.

01:03:37.280 Yeah.

01:03:37.900 I mean, it's just so...

01:03:39.820 We've already mapped this out.

01:03:42.920 Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

01:03:45.040 We already invented it.

01:03:46.220 And is it just us?

01:03:47.620 I mean, it's kind of obvious that we've been successful with this.

01:03:51.020 Yes.

01:03:51.560 Right?

01:03:52.300 I think that's true.

01:03:53.240 I mean, look, they...

01:03:54.080 Kind of obvious.

01:03:54.640 You see that so many countries are so far to the left of us and want to implement, and

01:03:59.760 they want to give away, and they want to control, and they don't like that.

01:04:03.020 I think that's the problem.

01:04:03.940 The biggest problem with the United States as far as exporting democracy in the way we

01:04:10.500 know what we refer to as democracy is that it requires people to, number one, not want

01:04:17.980 to control everything at the top.

01:04:19.960 Yeah.

01:04:20.180 And, number two, cede to the people and allow them to use their liberty to make their lives

01:04:26.040 better in the way they choose.

01:04:27.540 And nobody in leadership anywhere in the world wants to do that.

01:04:31.600 It's amazing.

01:04:32.160 They all think this is nuts.

01:04:33.560 This is why things like Bitcoin take off, because it's going against that system, and

01:04:39.120 it can't be controlled by these governments.

01:04:42.880 It's so true. 0.84

01:04:45.080 It's like you just can't get people to give up their own power.

01:04:47.160 Principles of freedom.

01:04:48.340 It's amazing.

01:04:48.800 What?

01:04:50.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:53.900 Has a new home crossed your mind?

01:05:54.260 Doing our part to keep free speech alive.

01:05:56.800 There's much more after the break on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:06:00.960 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

01:06:14.300 888-727-BECK here on this Independence Day weekend.

01:06:19.240 We had some interesting decisions by the Supreme Court this week.

01:06:22.520 Yeah, enough for me to don my Notorious ACB shirt.

01:06:26.080 Amy Coney Barrett, on the right side of both of these, by the way.

01:06:29.120 Oh, good.

01:06:29.540 These rulings yesterday.

01:06:31.500 She's been good so far.

01:06:32.940 It's been nice to see.

01:06:34.560 Notorious ACB, by the way, available at stewdoesmerch.com, if you'd like to get your own.

01:06:38.800 Because I feel like this is going to be a recurring situation, where she's going to be good for

01:06:44.700 a while.

01:06:46.700 I'm hopeful, at least.

01:06:47.640 What is she?

01:06:48.120 Late 40s, right?

01:06:48.980 Yeah, she's going to be around for a long time, which is good.

01:06:52.520 And certainly one of the big parts of the legacy of the Trump presidency.

01:06:56.820 Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Notorious ACB.

01:07:00.840 And I wonder, if you're going to rank those three choices, how are you ranking them?

01:07:06.820 Right now?

01:07:07.580 Yeah.

01:07:09.640 I hadn't thought this one out, but we just ranked a whole bunch of presidents.

01:07:15.240 Probably Coney Barrett first, followed by Gorsuch, and then Kavanaugh.

01:07:21.120 That's kind of how I think I would go, too.

01:07:24.480 Coney Barrett, it's a little early to say this.

01:07:27.580 It is.

01:07:27.840 We're definitely, on all three of them, it's too early to say what their legacy is.

01:07:31.860 But just as far as my optimism level right now, it would probably be Coney Barrett.

01:07:37.260 Kavanaugh, as much as he became this big controversial figure and conservatives were pushing so hard

01:07:44.560 for him, he's the one I have the least faith on as far as actual rulings.

01:07:48.100 People don't, there's some, there's a sect of conservatism that doesn't love Gorsuch all that much

01:07:52.440 because he's a little too libertarian for them.

01:07:55.540 And that's kind of, I'd rather, he's kind of more my flavor in that way.

01:07:59.220 So I like him a little bit more than some conservatives do.

01:08:02.760 But they've all been, none of them have been terrible.

01:08:05.860 I mean, Kavanaugh has not been terrible.

01:08:07.160 He's had a couple rulings that make me crinkle my forehead a little bit.

01:08:12.080 But, you know, he's not been terrible.

01:08:14.380 None of them have been terrible.

01:08:15.660 Yesterday, it was 6-3 in two separate rulings.

01:08:18.680 One of them I want to focus on, one of them was about whether California can require

01:08:25.300 charities, private fundraising organizations to disclose their large donors,

01:08:31.000 mainly because they didn't like the Koch brothers.

01:08:33.340 That was really what it was.

01:08:34.820 And the Koch brothers brought a challenge to this, even though one of them is no longer alive.

01:08:39.560 And they won.

01:08:41.320 You don't, you can't force organizations to give out who their donors are.

01:08:45.620 There's no reason to do that.

01:08:47.000 You have, from the same people who constantly argue there is a right to privacy

01:08:52.200 built into the Constitution, which leads them to say that you can have an abortion

01:08:57.260 whenever you want, those same people are like, oh, of course you have to disclose your donors.

01:09:03.080 This makes absolutely no sense.

01:09:05.500 So that was one of them.

01:09:06.600 The other one was about this Arizona voting law.

01:09:10.960 And it applies to really all the voting laws going on right now.

01:09:14.060 So the left is arguing basically, you know, you can't do anything that restricts anybody's

01:09:20.420 voting access.

01:09:22.200 The conservatives are arguing, well, yeah, you can.

01:09:25.440 You can make any, you know, states get to make their own laws as to how they run their

01:09:29.500 election process.

01:09:31.040 And, you know, as long as you're not doing things like crazy poll taxes and you can't

01:09:36.240 vote if you're black or things like that, you have a pretty wide berth to be able to do

01:09:40.720 what you want.

01:09:41.520 The Supreme Court ruled six to three, Samuel Alito writing the majority opinion.

01:09:46.240 And he says, I think this is quite a valid point here, where a state provides multiple

01:09:52.460 ways to vote.

01:09:54.000 Any burden imposed on voters who choose one of the available options cannot be evaluated

01:09:59.220 without also taking into account the other available means.

01:10:03.660 So you can go and you can vote one, like, for example, what this is legitimately one of

01:10:10.660 the things they're saying are shutting down the rights of minorities to vote in this country.

01:10:15.420 To vote in Arizona, you will need to show up at the right place.

01:10:25.300 Why the oppression?

01:10:27.320 Why are they oppressing the vote? 0.82

01:10:29.020 Why do they want to suppress the vote so much in Arizona?

01:10:31.820 I don't know why.

01:10:32.540 Like, if you why, if you're supposed to vote in a precinct in Phoenix, you can't just show

01:10:36.680 up in Mesa.

01:10:38.420 Why?

01:10:40.880 I don't know.

01:10:41.660 It just seems like the most basic part of voting.

01:10:44.520 I know I can tell you the places that I vote because I know this.

01:10:49.200 There's a one church I go to that I've never go to at any other time other than when I'm

01:10:54.040 voting because it's not my church.

01:10:56.280 But I know where it is and I know how to go there.

01:10:59.700 The same thing with when you go to the town hall, you might need to vote there.

01:11:03.860 I don't go to the town hall that often.

01:11:05.560 But you know what?

01:11:06.040 I took 10 seconds to figure out where I needed to go to vote.

01:11:09.780 That's how this works.

01:11:11.160 A very basic requirement of being a citizen.

01:11:13.840 And then during the early vote, at least in Texas, I don't know if this is the rule in

01:11:18.020 every state, but at least in Texas, you can vote anywhere in the county during early voting.

01:11:24.600 So any precinct you can walk into if you're early voting and you can pretty much vote anywhere

01:11:30.940 in that particular county you want to.

01:11:34.100 That's pretty generous, I think.

01:11:35.840 That's pretty easy.

01:11:37.160 Just on election day, you have to vote at your own precinct.

01:11:40.280 And I don't know why there is that rule.

01:11:42.200 But it's now that's not it's you know, there's lots of different rules in every single state.

01:11:50.280 This is kind of what Arizona is pushing back on.

01:11:52.660 Now, I don't know if it applies to early voting, but do they want you to be able to vote anywhere?

01:11:57.240 They're saying the left is saying you should be able to vote anywhere.

01:11:59.800 You should be able to vote.

01:12:01.000 You know, that's never been the case.

01:12:02.740 No, it's never been the case.

01:12:03.940 It's a basic requirement.

01:12:05.460 Go to the right location.

01:12:06.820 Yeah.

01:12:07.020 If you go to the wrong location, they send you to the right location.

01:12:10.340 Yeah.

01:12:10.520 You know, they don't they didn't like that.

01:12:13.980 And so Alito's point is basically.

01:12:18.600 You can if it's got to do with fraud, for example, that's in the interest of the state.

01:12:24.140 And they should be able to to monitor that.

01:12:26.680 The other part of it was ballot harvesting, where let's say some left wing campaign worker

01:12:32.340 can go to a nursing home and collect all the ballots from the nursing home.

01:12:36.280 And he goes and check and turns them all in.

01:12:39.420 Like, obviously, this is a big fraud possibility.

01:12:45.100 And they said you can't do that.

01:12:47.660 Goes up to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court says, yeah, you know what?

01:12:50.860 Actually, you can.

01:12:52.540 Again, the the basic idea here is that you should be able to if it's not having some significant

01:13:02.200 impact on your ability to vote, if it's not arduous, right?

01:13:06.540 If there are other ways for you to vote, like, for example, a person who has decided, you know

01:13:11.660 what?

01:13:11.840 I will only vote in the wrong precinct, right?

01:13:15.440 That whoever that person is can vote by mail.

01:13:18.940 Right.

01:13:19.360 And that's available in Arizona.

01:13:20.840 So there's other ways to vote.

01:13:23.280 And also, if it has something to do with fraud, it should be available.

01:13:28.900 Now, that doesn't mean that everything is every fraud is all over the country all the time.

01:13:34.840 They're not saying that they're just saying that obviously it's in the interest of the

01:13:37.680 state to control voter fraud.

01:13:40.560 Listen to these two arguments, though, and you tell them because these are not equivalent.

01:13:44.540 You know, sometimes you have like one side has a really good point.

01:13:46.920 The other side also has a really good point, which one should be right.

01:13:49.880 And we might think it's the conservative side.

01:13:51.680 They might think it's the liberal side.

01:13:53.360 If every time I turn on law and order and I watch an episode, I'm completely convinced

01:13:58.200 that this guy murdered this family.

01:14:00.560 And then the other attorney steps up and I'm completely convinced he's innocent.

01:14:05.740 You know, like sometimes Supreme Court rulings come down like that.

01:14:09.780 Here are the arguments as summarized by the New York Times.

01:14:12.720 Justice Alito said the prohibitions on ballot collections under the new guideposts, he kind

01:14:17.900 of set forth some rules as to what can be shut down and restricted, saying they imposed a minor

01:14:23.620 burden.

01:14:24.480 They left open other ways of voting and they were meant to combat fraud.

01:14:29.200 Justice Kagan responded that the measure disproportionately affected rural Native American communities that

01:14:39.860 lacked ready access to mail service.

01:14:44.080 Those are the two sides of this argument.

01:14:45.820 One is saying, look, look, you got to control fraud.

01:14:48.560 And as long as it's easy to vote another way, we can't go crazy.

01:14:52.060 Of course, there can be restrictions.

01:14:53.300 The other side saying, yeah, but what about Native Americans in rural areas that don't have

01:14:57.340 mail?

01:14:58.880 Are there a lot of those places?

01:15:00.640 A lot?

01:15:01.660 Like, it's not something I would have realized is a major problem.

01:15:07.700 Right.

01:15:08.000 And of course, they can still vote.

01:15:09.780 They can still vote by mail.

01:15:11.060 And by the way, if you want Native rural Americans to have better access to mail, then Congress

01:15:17.440 can just give them that.

01:15:19.140 They can work on that if the Native American areas want it.

01:15:23.400 Right?

01:15:24.140 Mm-hmm.

01:15:24.860 This is not something that...

01:15:26.940 They could also vote in person.

01:15:28.780 They could vote in person.

01:15:29.740 Yes.

01:15:30.160 They could vote by mail.

01:15:32.460 They could vote a bunch of different ways.

01:15:35.140 Now, there is...

01:15:37.420 And even if, like, you came up with this crazy idea, right?

01:15:41.060 At the end of the day, that this one community had an issue getting to the mailbox, you know,

01:15:49.960 maybe we could hire someone for $10 an hour that's a government worker. 0.96

01:15:57.000 You know what?

01:15:57.580 Take one of the people who's doing nothing that works for the government, and then maybe

01:16:01.540 they could bring it over.

01:16:02.660 You know what?

01:16:03.040 Take some off-duty police officers and say, you know what?

01:16:06.440 The off-duty police officers get to go and pick up a ballot box on the property of the

01:16:09.920 Native Americans.

01:16:10.500 You don't overrule the state's rights to set their own election laws because of one tiny

01:16:19.480 outlier somewhere.

01:16:21.320 This is what the left always tries to do, and it's always about identity.

01:16:26.680 It's always about race.

01:16:28.680 It's always about sex.

01:16:31.200 It's always about sexual preference.

01:16:33.140 It's always about origin.

01:16:35.500 All of these things are supposed...

01:16:38.520 We have laws that apply to everyone.

01:16:42.180 And that is the difference, I think, between the left and the right.

01:16:45.200 Right now, we look for rules that apply to everyone equally and that everyone has an equal

01:16:51.740 opportunity.

01:16:52.240 And we expect the very basics out of people to do things like voting.

01:16:57.240 You've got to register.

01:16:58.780 You've got to send it in on time.

01:17:00.720 You know, people keep going to this New York election that's going on right now.

01:17:04.380 They're like, ranked choice voting.

01:17:05.720 That's terrible.

01:17:06.740 What's terrible about the New York elections is that they're allowing people to send in

01:17:10.780 absentee ballots weeks and weeks and weeks after the election is over.

01:17:17.280 That's the problem.

01:17:18.860 If all the ballots were in on time, they'd just run the program.

01:17:22.480 It would be over.

01:17:24.260 It would be done in an hour.

01:17:26.920 Instead, they're like, well, what if a rural Native American person doesn't have mail access 0.62

01:17:33.720 in New York City?

01:17:35.740 Because there's a lot of rural Native American areas.

01:17:38.420 I don't know if you know this, in New York City.

01:17:39.800 A lot.

01:17:40.300 Yeah, a lot.

01:17:40.920 And they can't get to a mailbox.

01:17:42.680 And they go on a long hike through Manhattan, then through the Bronx, across the bridge.

01:17:53.720 And when they get there, they don't have to show an ID, though, do they?

01:17:56.180 Of course not.

01:17:56.880 Okay.

01:17:57.340 Of course not.

01:17:58.060 Because that would be oppressive.

01:17:59.160 That would be oppressive.

01:18:00.200 And I don't want that to happen.

01:18:02.200 You know, minorities, they can't get IDs because they don't know where the DMV is. 0.54

01:18:06.640 And a lot of them can't get online.

01:18:08.460 And so if they can't get online, they don't know where the driver's license is, the driver's

01:18:13.440 license place, you know, the DMV, then there's no way they can vote.

01:18:18.380 And I was reading online that Ron DeSantis banned minorities from going to the DMV.

01:18:25.400 I haven't checked it out, but that's my understanding.

01:18:28.020 I'm sure it's true.

01:18:28.800 I saw a tweet about it.

01:18:30.200 Well, then it's true.

01:18:31.020 Yeah.

01:18:31.160 And then I saw an article about the tweet.

01:18:32.980 Yeah.

01:18:33.400 And in the article, it said some people said that Ron DeSantis did this. 0.57

01:18:37.140 That's why I hate Republicans. 0.99

01:18:38.860 Yeah, that's why I hate them. 1.00

01:18:39.860 That's exactly why I hate their guts. 0.99

01:20:41.860 We do appreciate that quite a bit.

01:20:43.720 Because as you know, it's a zero-sum game.

01:20:45.860 Yes.

01:20:46.100 If we do well, no one else can do well.

01:20:49.080 And that's the way the left looks at the economy.

01:20:51.560 Anyway, it's a little bit out of, it's not exactly true.

01:20:55.440 But I want it to be true.

01:20:57.720 And therefore, that's enough in our society today.

01:21:01.840 So, that's where we live.

01:21:04.200 That's where we live and breathe now, Pat.

01:21:06.140 And that's the way the media is.

01:21:08.820 Yeah.

01:21:09.300 And that's the way.

01:21:10.000 We're just going to jump into it.

01:21:10.880 Pretty much seems that way, doesn't it?

01:21:12.880 In Venezuela, they're doing something kind of interesting.

01:21:15.180 They're going to cut six zeros off the boulevard.

01:21:18.160 That's their denomination of money.

01:21:21.560 To simplify transactions.

01:21:23.940 So, they're once again going to lop off more zeros from their national currency

01:21:29.200 to try to simplify the daily transactions.

01:21:33.880 Apparently, they got all the way up to a million boulevard denomination bill.

01:21:41.480 So, they had a one million boulevard note.

01:21:45.260 Largest in the country's history.

01:21:47.400 But that bill is now worth 32 cents in the United States.

01:21:53.760 So, from a million boulevard to 32 cents.

01:21:56.180 32 cents.

01:21:56.740 So, what are they doing?

01:21:57.500 Are they making a million into a thousand?

01:22:00.080 Yeah.

01:22:00.420 Well, they're lopping six.

01:22:02.180 Oh, six?

01:22:02.960 Six zeros off.

01:22:04.360 So, they're making a million into one.

01:22:07.720 A hundred or into one.

01:22:09.840 Right?

01:22:10.180 Let's see.

01:22:10.720 Yeah.

01:22:11.040 A million is one with six zeros following.

01:22:13.560 It's a one dollar.

01:22:14.240 Yeah.

01:22:14.380 They're making a one dollar.

01:22:15.980 Which would make sense if it's really 32 cents.

01:22:18.920 So, then you're going to have one boulevard equals 32 cents U.S.

01:22:23.500 Right?

01:22:24.140 Wow.

01:22:24.460 This is bad, man.

01:22:25.520 It's really bad.

01:22:26.620 You know, it's really bad.

01:22:28.040 Interesting that El Salvador had issues like this.

01:22:33.120 Not as bad as Venezuela, but had issues like this.

01:22:35.240 And they were like, you know what?

01:22:36.680 What if we just use the dollar?

01:22:39.260 Yeah.

01:22:39.620 Let's just use the dollar as our currency.

01:22:41.640 Yeah.

01:22:42.180 Did they wind up doing that?

01:22:43.380 I don't remember.

01:22:43.800 They did do it in the early 2000s, I believe.

01:22:46.100 Okay.

01:22:46.520 And then that went pretty well for a while.

01:22:48.780 And then we started spending trillions of dollars on COVID and things like that.

01:22:53.360 And now they're like, you know what?

01:22:55.260 Sure, we have the dollar.

01:22:56.340 Let's also do Bitcoin.

01:22:58.040 And now, so they're the first country on earth to have Bitcoin as an official currency.

01:23:02.260 Interesting.

01:23:02.740 And they're in the middle of implementing that right now.

01:23:05.240 Interesting.

01:23:05.640 It is.

01:23:06.600 I mean, because that's the thing about Bitcoin.

01:23:08.180 It pushes back against your money printing.

01:23:11.440 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:23:13.420 Yeah, we got this interesting list of popular songs, 64 popular songs, probably won't go

01:23:22.240 through all of them, but a bunch of popular songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s that

01:23:27.640 you just couldn't probably record today, especially as sensitive as everybody is today.

01:23:38.180 These are amazing.

01:23:41.140 Some of them are absolutely incredible.

01:23:44.540 Yeah.

01:23:45.100 Some of them, towards the back of that list, are really crazy.

01:23:49.080 Because there's songs you hadn't heard of before.

01:23:51.060 There's one about seemingly a mass shooting in a high school.

01:23:54.580 I don't know if you got to that one yet.

01:23:55.720 I haven't.

01:23:57.060 It's like, how did anyone think this was okay?

01:24:01.780 What's that song?

01:24:03.200 It's from the 80s, I think.

01:24:05.100 It's from Julie Brown, I think, is the author.

01:24:07.620 Is the singer.

01:24:08.120 I think, you know, it kind of was supposed to be funny.

01:24:10.360 Yeah.

01:24:10.740 It doesn't come off as funny these days.

01:24:12.660 No, probably not.

01:24:13.220 Then the post-Columbine era does not come off quite as hilarious.

01:24:17.540 No.

01:24:19.040 All right.

01:24:20.220 So there is that.

01:24:23.740 It's also Independence Day weekend.

01:24:26.860 Talk about that a little bit.

01:24:28.220 That and much more coming up as we kick off the radio, the last hour of the radio show

01:24:33.140 in just a few seconds.

01:24:33.880 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:25:02.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:12.400 It's Pat and Stu today for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:14.920 888-727-BECK.

01:25:17.440 I've got this fun list of songs that you just couldn't record today from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.

01:25:23.900 We'll get into that.

01:25:25.580 You won't believe some of the lyrics involved here.

01:25:27.980 Uh, wow.

01:25:30.140 When you think back to the way things used to be and the way they are now, changed quite a bit.

01:25:37.420 We'll get into that coming up in 60 seconds.

01:25:39.300 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:46.460 All right.

01:25:47.100 So summer has arrived and with it comes all of those amazing summer holidays.

01:25:51.280 And with things finally starting to return to normal in this country, I'll bet you're looking

01:25:56.360 to spend those holidays with friends and family, cooking up some good food in the backyard while

01:26:01.640 the kids go running and screaming around the yard.

01:26:04.220 Let me take your grilling game and knock it up one level. 0.57

01:26:07.100 If you haven't already, I want you to go online and check out Rectech.

01:26:11.920 It grills, it smokes, it even bakes, and it does it with smart grill technology, which

01:26:17.060 means that it maintains perfect temperature the whole time.

01:26:21.000 And that means you don't burn anything like I have time or two or every time until I got

01:26:26.780 a Rectech.

01:26:27.580 It's sleek.

01:26:28.240 It's sturdy.

01:26:28.840 The thing is built out of solid stainless steel.

01:26:31.600 It's a tank.

01:26:32.800 It'll be the last grill you buy.

01:26:34.560 A, B, compare the Rectech to the competition.

01:26:37.560 You'll see what I'm talking about.

01:26:39.180 R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com. 1.00

01:26:41.380 That's Rectech.com.

01:26:43.740 R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com. 1.00

01:27:01.140 Back grand stuber gear for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program today.

01:27:05.700 You know, you might think the lyrics today are a little bit iffy and

01:27:10.460 some maybe aren't appropriate to be hearing on the radio.

01:27:15.540 He had a list of some songs that Spindiddy went through that when you look at the lyrics,

01:27:26.120 and these are all songs that you probably knew as a kid or growing up, and they probably didn't

01:27:32.960 hit you that they were anything special or anything outrageous.

01:27:36.640 But when you look at them today with today's eyes, they're pretty outrageous.

01:27:40.760 Yeah, this all started from a thing that happened in the news recently about Indiana Jones.

01:27:48.580 They're doing a new Indiana Jones movie right now, which thankfully, because the Crystal

01:27:52.660 Skull was one of the worst movies ever made.

01:27:54.220 So I kind of want them to at least attempt to try to salvage the series after what they just did to it.

01:28:00.040 But they're going through this, and they talk to Marion from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

01:28:06.580 You know, she was obviously his love interest in this movie.

01:28:10.700 And listen to this scene and see, just listen, do some math in your brain as you listen to this scene.

01:28:17.920 Hello, Marion.

01:28:26.100 Indiana Jones.

01:28:30.840 Always knew someday you'd come walking back through my door.

01:28:34.700 I never doubted that.

01:28:36.520 Something made it inevitable.

01:28:38.760 So what are you doing here in Nepal?

01:28:41.380 I need one of the pieces your father collected.

01:28:43.920 I learned to hate you in the last ten years.

01:28:46.180 Ten years.

01:28:47.920 I never meant to hurt you.

01:28:49.840 I was a child.

01:28:50.820 I was in love.

01:28:51.560 Wait.

01:28:52.300 He was wrong, and you knew it.

01:28:53.720 You knew what you were doing.

01:28:55.120 Now I do.

01:28:55.800 This is my place.

01:28:57.140 Get out.

01:28:58.000 Mohan.

01:28:58.580 Temigru. 0.92

01:28:59.300 Bolianu.

01:28:59.860 I did what I did.

01:29:02.220 You don't have to be happy about it, but maybe we can help each other out now.

01:29:05.800 So.

01:29:06.820 Oh.

01:29:07.240 Hey.

01:29:07.820 Oh, okay.

01:29:08.700 All right.

01:29:09.120 I did what I did.

01:29:10.380 You knew.

01:29:10.880 You knew what you were doing.

01:29:12.520 She just said she was a child.

01:29:15.740 Wait a minute.

01:29:16.620 No, she. 0.94

01:29:17.260 What?

01:29:17.640 She's maybe 28 now? 0.66

01:29:20.240 30?

01:29:20.920 She is saying.

01:29:22.100 Oh, is it?

01:29:22.560 Now they're doing interviews. 0.93

01:29:23.620 But so what prompted this is like, this is like the, of course, dumb ending to the Me Too

01:29:29.200 saga where now they're criticizing Indiana Jones, who was a fictional character.

01:29:35.120 Right.

01:29:35.380 For his apparent sexual assault of Marion when she was too young.

01:29:43.260 So they've now asked Marion, the actor who portrayed her, wait, were you like, was there

01:29:49.420 statutory rape going on?

01:29:50.900 What happened?

01:29:51.500 And she says she was 16.

01:29:54.020 So they were, she was 26 in the actual movie, 10 years ago was 16.

01:30:00.920 Wow.

01:30:01.280 Now, Glenn somehow dug out some of the conversations about this scene from like the planning of

01:30:09.640 the movie.

01:30:10.640 And apparently George Lucas was like pushing for her to be like 11.

01:30:14.800 What?

01:30:15.280 Like she's like 21 in the movie and it was 10 years ago and she was 11.

01:30:18.740 And all the other writers are like, uh, I don't know if 11's the right number, guys.

01:30:24.420 I think that might be a little.

01:30:26.060 That's just creepy.

01:30:26.960 And then Lucas is like, how about 12?

01:30:28.980 No.

01:30:29.860 No.

01:30:30.680 So they eventually got him to like 15 or 16 for what?

01:30:34.800 And it doesn't mean anything in the plot.

01:30:36.740 Right.

01:30:36.960 It's like, it's totally, he was just apparently wanting to write a lot about something very

01:30:41.200 weird.

01:30:42.040 So this got us thinking about how these things have changed because remember Indiana Jones

01:30:47.340 came out in the eighties, but it took place in the thirties.

01:30:51.040 So in the thirties standards were quite, quite different.

01:30:54.420 But even since the eighties, the sixties, the seventies, the eighties standards have changed

01:31:00.000 quite a bit.

01:31:00.680 Some, some of the songs that were released back then could not come out today.

01:31:05.160 They just, it would not happen.

01:31:07.680 Um, should we go through some of these?

01:31:09.440 Cause yeah, some of them are, are kind of amazing.

01:31:13.260 Um, okay.

01:31:13.940 Under my thumb, the Rolling Stones.

01:31:16.260 Yeah.

01:31:16.920 Uh, from 1966, it's about, um, a power struggle between the, this, this couple.

01:31:22.080 And, uh, at the time of its release, it was criticized by feminists, even back then for 1.00

01:31:27.440 subjugating the woman to, uh, being like a quote, squirming dog. 0.92

01:31:33.840 Probably wouldn't do that.

01:31:35.100 So you couldn't do that today.

01:31:36.380 And apparently they didn't even like it back in 1966.

01:31:39.560 Uh, it's not all sexual stuff though.

01:31:41.300 Like for like, uh, in the summertime.

01:31:42.820 Um, no, there's fine.

01:31:46.920 Yeah.

01:31:49.320 So if you sang, you sang along to that song before, you probably said, have a drink, have

01:31:54.040 a drive.

01:31:55.720 It just, again, like you're not in that order, not really supposed to do that.

01:31:59.540 Uh, go out and see what you can find.

01:32:01.060 If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal. 0.98

01:32:03.300 If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel.

01:32:06.040 okay yeah not appropriate no no now from the beatles uh the song run for your life 0.97

01:32:13.440 i'd rather see you dead little girl than to be with another man kind of not cool yeah seems like 0.90

01:32:19.840 a little over the line yeah getting better with the beatles has uh i used to be cruel to my woman 1.00

01:32:24.600 i beat her jeez and kept her apart from the things that she loved you psychopath that had to be uh 1.00

01:32:31.980 like ringo ringo i think did the it came up with that lyric because he's in here again later on 0.88

01:32:37.080 and uh of course your squaw is on the warpath by loretta lynn i think getting better was mccartney's

01:32:45.400 song really i think so yeah i mean maybe i just feel like ringo had a he's got a super appropriate

01:32:52.260 though even in this in 1967 you could say that that doesn't seem right not at all your squaw is

01:32:59.520 on the warpath by loretta lynn has uh well you leave me at home to keep the tp clean

01:33:03.900 um then you've got i mean some of these are ahab the arab which was by ray stevens a comedy song

01:33:11.840 yeah that he kind of changed the pronunciation of arab because ahab doesn't rhyme with arab

01:33:18.320 path so you had to say hey have the arab and of course that's not how you pronounce it and

01:33:24.440 they take offense to that now short people by randy newman yeah that's come on jokey and silly

01:33:30.460 jokey and silly and and it was a a uh an ironic song he was being ironic throughout it uh brown 0.57

01:33:37.660 sugar by the rolling stones now this one has made news before i thought about this one many times the 0.99

01:33:41.780 song features so many taboo subjects including forced sex with an underage slave girl probably

01:33:48.200 not the topic you want to lead a very well-known song with yes some of these though are like not

01:33:54.560 as well known uh one in a million by guns and roses i don't remember it i don't either 1988 rock song

01:33:59.580 describes axel rose's experience getting hustled at a greyhound bus station when he first came to los

01:34:04.780 angeles in the lyrics the following groups are denigrated the police well that one you can totally

01:34:09.540 still do totally okay to do that one uh black people and he uses the n word okay that's not okay 0.67

01:34:16.140 immigrants and gays calling them the f word for gays in the song not good not would not be done 0.71

01:34:24.880 today in my opinion not acceptable uh china girl by david bowie yeah hard to believe um these days china 0.96

01:34:34.120 girls are asian women of course you can't you can't say china girl anymore um but he uh he he's saying

01:34:41.900 now he says that this was about uh ridiculing stereotypes of asian women so in the almost in

01:34:50.320 the short people sort of yes uh genre yes but in the it's really strange because in the in the video

01:34:57.540 for the song he does something with his eyes that uh you really couldn't get away with today i mean you

01:35:04.440 would be you would be canceled yeah not your songs would not be purchased any longer stop aap i hate 0.58

01:35:12.500 david bowie yes that's what i say please how island girl by elton john uh it's about a jamaican woman who 0.98

01:35:19.580 is quote black as coal who works as a prostitute in manhattan a black boy is trying to take her again 0.95

01:35:28.020 quote quoting black boy is trying to take her back to the island and asks what are you wanting with a 0.99

01:35:33.000 white man's world probably not going to work today uh dire straits money for nothing is well known 0.97

01:35:37.820 um you may remember this yeah they use the f word for uh gays multiple times multiple times now that

01:35:45.960 was taken out even back then on some radio stations so others just let it play which you couldn't

01:35:52.580 possibly do today i think and if i understand right i think they're still playing the song the way it is

01:35:59.240 which is somewhat surprising if they are yeah it is yeah with the f word in it yeah bleeped at all

01:36:07.020 because i mean it's one thing to play a song the way it was it's another thing to perform it live

01:36:11.480 today yeah yeah that's dangerous that's dangerous it's changing these things what does it do does it

01:36:18.020 actually help society probably not no but usually you know just these artists don't want to be on

01:36:24.000 video doing it right um ringo star you're 16 there was a lot of these back in the 70s yes about 16

01:36:33.040 year olds i i don't know why i i don't know in fact the song mike sharona by the knack in 1979

01:36:42.020 kind of got that band shut down even back then because they were singing about young girls all the

01:36:47.180 time yeah there's a lot of that going on they're like um okay that's creepy that's weird that was your

01:36:52.380 16 you're beautiful in your mind yes okay for ringo star fat bottom girls by queen now you think

01:36:58.000 that one would be banned because it or questionable because you're fat shaming like that's what i would 0.93

01:37:04.380 think when i would hear that however no this is the lyrics uh of the song but i knew love before i left 0.99

01:37:11.440 my nursery wow uh okay left alone with big fat fanny she was such a naughty nanny 1.00

01:37:18.660 he big woman you made a bad boy out of me so this this young man seems to have been raped uh 0.99

01:37:25.620 that's what i would say occurred you wouldn't think that they'd sing a fun rock song about it later on 0.80

01:37:31.500 sometimes these things occur i mean don't stand so close to me by the police the great song but the

01:37:37.220 subject matter is not great yeah a school girl twice uh and a teacher twice her age cross a dangerous

01:37:44.440 line by having an illegal and appropriate affair inappropriate affair not appropriate and i don't

01:37:50.200 think he ever does in the song does he he's trying to resist her basically trying to talk himself out

01:37:55.980 of it basically is what i would say yes how about father figure from george michael 1987 uh this i've

01:38:02.940 never i don't remember this line in the song that's all i wanted but sometimes love can be mistaken

01:38:08.260 for a crime so he's basically saying this is like the nambla argument you know hey look i mean it's

01:38:17.320 love you guys are saying it's a crime it's actually love not a great idea uh young girl by gary puckett

01:38:23.520 in the union gap young girl get out of my life yeah so young girl get out of my mind my love for you 1.00

01:38:28.600 is way out of line uh-oh better run girl you're much too young girl yeah yeah with all the charms of a 0.98

01:38:38.460 you're old enough to give me love and now it hurts to know the truth i mean they just did that all the

01:38:43.640 time how does this happen in the 60s and 70s all these guys thought about were 14 year olds what is

01:42:01.640 and play upon her darkest fears what the hell is going on in that song wow that's creepy it's like

01:42:07.680 he's got her in a hole in his basement and and he's saying uh put the lotion on your skin

01:42:13.780 how about this this one i'd never i i never uh did not remember at all it's called the homecoming

01:42:19.620 queens got a gun by julie brown i do remember that you do listen i mean again in the post-columbine era

01:42:26.300 uh debbie's smiling and waving her gun picking off cheerleaders one by one oh buffy's pom-pom just

01:42:33.440 flew to bits oh no mitzi's head just did the splits god my best friends on a shooting spree 0.82

01:42:40.860 similar that was supposed to be funny it's supposed to be funny it's not a real laugh

01:42:45.280 anymore anymore right there's a um a song and you know i'm a weird al connoisseur pat and weird al

01:42:51.860 did a song for christmas one year it's called christmas at ground zero and it was about it's

01:42:58.320 a great freaking song and it's basically about you know nuclear war on christmas but ground zero at

01:43:05.420 the point was not fun it was not 9 11 you know oh yeah he also did a song called trigger happy

01:43:10.680 which you go back to which is basically similar to the gut the song we just did same thing like

01:43:16.440 super crazy violent imagery it's freaking hilarious but i doubt he ever sings it anymore he is still

01:43:22.960 touring by the way and releasing number one album so he's very still very much still active yeah do

01:43:27.940 you know the song midnight at the oasis by maria moldar is that i mean that's it's pretty old 1974

01:43:33.460 okay uh i know your daddy's a sultan a nomad known to all with 50 girls to attend him they all send him

01:43:40.480 jump at his beck and call but you won't need no harem honey when i'm by your side and you won't need 0.98

01:43:46.640 no camel no no when i take you for a ride so that probably you probably wouldn't be singing about

01:43:53.580 sultans and harems i will say i will say this as you go through these this list of all these songs from

01:43:59.460 these past decades and you realize that they're constantly talking about rock stars talking about

01:44:07.160 having sex with 15 and 16 and 17 year olds we do complain often about how the culture changes

01:44:15.300 but sometimes it changes for the better there are certain things yeah that i would say it really 0.72

01:44:22.680 shouldn't be acceptable for a rock star to write a song fantasizing about a 14 year old probably not

01:44:29.980 a good thing and even worse if they're actually doing it but it's incredible how often they wrote

01:44:35.920 songs like that yeah that's all they thought about yeah i mean you know dr hook had a song about 16 year

01:44:43.080 olds ringo star had a song about 16 year olds the rolling stones saying all kinds of inappropriate

01:44:50.700 thoughts about women who was the person who actually did it didn't somebody like in prison 1.00

01:44:54.620 uh you always tell me this story oh jimmy page jimmy page what's that story again uh he he met a groupie

01:45:02.280 that he uh really thought was attractive and he kind of took her home and he kept her against her will

01:45:09.020 until it finally became uh it kind of came it became consensual after a while okay but he held her

01:45:18.360 first kept her from going home and he was i think he was 21 at the time or 22 and she was like 14 i mean

01:45:27.620 holy crap it was a big difference and it was a huge thing you would think today back then the guy was

01:45:35.600 never arrested never charged with a thing kept her for like five years she was with him and again i don't 0.95

01:45:41.040 know that if a relationship starts at 14 that it can ever become consensual it was supposedly yeah you

01:45:49.300 know air quotes consensual consensual but she was staring she was staying with me of her own free will 0.81

01:45:55.660 she really wanted after the first couple years she was she loved it at my place never left she really

01:46:02.040 did she really became fond of me after i took the handcuffs off of her in the in the closet i mean

01:46:07.480 jimmy page was a creepy guy yeah yes bizarre stuff and that was just one thing so into the occult and

01:49:33.320 60s 70s 80s and 90s uh and and then we we uh stumbled into one that's maybe as creepy as any

01:49:42.940 we were talking about and i love aerosmith i i'm a steve tyler fan he did some weird stuff with his

01:49:50.500 daughter in um the 90s i don't remember exactly how we got to this in the as we were off but you

01:49:57.060 know live tyler who's his daughter mm-hmm it kind of was was this became the sex symbol in the 90s

01:50:03.660 yeah again like this is how did it happen how did she rise to sex symbol status she got a great gig 1.00

01:50:09.520 she had an incredible opportunity like in a music video yeah a music video it was done by this band

01:50:15.300 called aerosmith huh weird and i think it was amazing if i remember right was that was the name

01:50:20.420 of the song yeah uh that she kind of became really famous in the sex symbol it girl uh at the time

01:50:27.000 or was it that or crazy i think there was a couple of them and she was a whopping total of 1.00

01:50:31.380 16 years old yeah didn't didn't remember that wow didn't remember that she was 16 in amazing yikes

01:50:40.660 17 in crazy okay now again it's one thing for someone to hyper sexualize

01:50:49.160 an underaged girl it's another when it's the dad when it's your daughter yeah it seems like it just

01:50:55.800 makes it a terrible idea you know we live and we learn here pat and standards do change and most of

01:51:02.720 them it seems like recently have been pretty bad changes that seems like a good one yeah that's a

01:51:08.640 good change it does seem to me that you should change and you see the guy i mean if that was anybody

01:51:16.760 uh today or in the last five years you wouldn't see him ever on any broadcast channel ever yeah and

01:51:25.840 he's everywhere um you know he was doing american idol just fairly well maybe it's been a while four

01:51:32.300 years five years ago was it american idol or was it one of the other singing shows that he did

01:51:36.880 uh i don't know time goes by so fast it's hard to it's hard to tell are you familiar with this

01:51:42.780 asteroid that's heading toward uh our planet it's not going to hit us but it's coming close enough

01:51:48.600 that nasa is is sending a probe out to it uh and they they it's apparently going to land on the

01:51:56.080 asteroid next year sometime in 2022 to determine if it contains enough metal it's supposed this

01:52:02.760 asteroid is supposedly worth 10 000 quadrillion dollars because of all the metals in it here's

01:52:10.560 10 000 quadrillion if something comes along with that value it changes the market value of the metal

01:52:16.480 and so it no longer is and also i know i want to point this out isn't 10 000 quadrillion just 10

01:52:22.900 quintillion why are they saying 10 000 quadrillion what a weird formulation of that it is very weird

01:52:28.760 i mean you could almost take a million trillion yeah would be better than 10 000 quadrillion you're

01:52:34.420 already into the aliens that no one ever uses maybe they went to quadrillion because nobody's ever

01:52:39.840 heard of quintillion yet and we just barely got used to trillion so now they're okay we'll just do

01:52:44.700 i call it 10 000 quadrillion you may not be used to quadrillion yet you will be soon you will be

01:52:51.360 you will be you will be the first spending bill that's a quadrillion dollars i mean that's probably

01:52:59.260 way off like middle of next year before that happens and before that obviously the debt the the

01:53:06.860 deficit hits uh a quadrillion can't be that far off what do we have now 40 something

01:53:11.700 well i mean our long-term liabilities were at over 100 trillion well over 100 so we're gonna get to one

01:53:18.620 quadrillion sooner than you know i think glenn's quoted like 150 trillion in uh unfunded liabilities

01:53:25.880 it's it's ridiculous anyway this could help with that if you know you could mine this stuff and bring

01:53:31.980 it back to earth i don't know how you know it's we're not living in armageddon times the movie uh

01:53:38.440 where you can go out to uh an asteroid and and just start strip mining it that i know of because but

01:53:44.480 nasa is going to try to drill down into this thing and see if it's valuable what difference does it make

01:53:49.940 are we actually going to do anything with it this thing is called 16 psyche and uh it would make

01:53:58.720 if you were able to mine the 10 quintillion dollars that are within it it would make

01:54:07.620 everyone on earth a billionaire that's that's not bad that's not bad we could all be like

01:54:14.640 zimbabwe or venezuela yeah but if everybody's a billionaire isn't everybody just equally poor

01:54:21.520 then too yeah it doesn't make a billionaire means nothing at that point you can't do do it this way

01:54:26.280 this does not work this way no i will say though a problem i will say the mystery is solved how we

01:54:33.340 got to live tyler which was you mentioned this asteroid then we talked about armageddon then we

01:54:38.340 got to live tyler yes that's how pathetic we are but still not right to put your 17 year old daughter 0.98

01:54:44.240 as the sex symbol in the video where by the way oh good point they are escaping seemingly like a 0.98

01:54:50.780 catholic school and catholic school girl uniforms oh yeah this is not a good idea just in case you

01:54:57.380 are a parent and you're thinking to yourself what if i put my own 17 year old daughter in my music

01:55:03.740 video just a good safety tip no no no unless it like she's like playing piano and you know there may be

01:55:13.340 there may be an exception to this role i'm not thinking of but don't make them the sex symbol ever

01:55:17.780 right in your video now dress them in a muumuu or a parka and let them play piano if that's what

01:55:24.640 you want to do by the way u.s unfunded liabilities 150 trillion 718 billion 904 million dollars i would

01:55:33.160 try to do the it's kind of moving much too fast for me to be able to quote more than that and 50

01:55:38.300 trillion dollars but the good thing is the liability per citizen is only 452 267 dollars oh we can all take

01:55:45.860 care of that that's not problem shouldn't be an issue right no you're thinking about it they pay

01:55:50.580 that off all you got to do is print more they can always make more you know that's the great thing

01:55:55.720 about our money supply you can always print a few more dollars to cover whatever you might need and we

01:56:01.560 do every single day and the beauty of it is now you don't even have to use the printing press because

01:56:07.720 you just digitize it all and you just punch in more numbers it's easy ah we don't have the money

01:56:14.140 yeah just punch in more more numbers it's fine don't worry about it you know what we'll do is

01:56:20.020 we'll uh we'll keep interest rates low for a little while and then we'll inch them up for a while we'll

01:56:25.760 just keep this going don't worry about it it's fine yeah it's eventually we're gonna run out of time

01:56:31.820 and eventually you're you know the ious are gonna come uh do and we're not gonna be able to pay them

01:56:40.620 then what do you do then you sell china every piece of land that you own i guess because that's

01:56:47.660 the only way we could pay that off although there are some experts who say maybe that's the way to do

01:56:53.180 it anyway i don't know 888-727-BECK uh also how about this um speaking of young kids and

01:57:04.180 inappropriate things there's this book out now for kids from four to eight years old four to eight

01:57:10.920 called maxine gets her vaccine see that rhymes and so yeah yeah it does rhyme makes it really

01:57:18.440 acceptable and uh interesting to children and what you should do is uh experiment with vaccines on four

01:57:26.980 to eight year olds i don't know i don't understand why you would do this i really don't four to eight

01:57:31.960 year olds uh rarely get the disease and when they do it doesn't seem to be serious right right

01:57:38.860 we're just talking about the uh death rate in zero to 19 year olds and that rate is zero point

01:57:48.280 zero percent so well you're rounding but yes yes it's very very low look the death rate is very very low

01:57:56.800 very low i will you would also note of course though that you know the there's no reason to

01:58:02.100 believe the vaccine death count is any higher than zero point zero on anybody in that age range either

01:58:07.780 but it seems like both activities are very low risk yeah i don't know why per se i think the reason is

01:58:15.360 they they think this is stalled like the vaccinations for adults is the reason i believe so they think they

01:58:20.860 can get parents who are very pro vaccine to vaccinate their kids and get the numbers higher yes so maybe

01:58:26.720 we can hit you know a herd immunity or close to it yeah they're they're trying to get us over that 70

01:58:32.200 percent right uh range we are by the way 54.6 percent of all people in this country are vaccinated is that

01:58:38.620 fully vaccinated no that's one dose but again okay i don't think that's all that notable almost everyone

01:58:44.960 who gets one dose dose gets another dose uh and in addition to that one dose does a pretty good amount

01:58:52.940 when it comes it doesn't do as much as two doses as far as uh your immunity goes but it does a pretty

01:58:58.380 it gets you a good way there so 54.6 they think the number is somewhere between maybe 70 and 80 percent

01:59:06.260 for actual herd immunity but i got news for you herd immunity does it come around when you have open

01:59:12.060 borders does herd immunity ever arrive when you have a country directly to yourself that has very

01:59:18.840 low percentage of their population vaccinated when you have brazil which has been raging out of control

01:59:26.540 this whole time they have not had these waves they have been raging out of control for a year

01:59:33.780 and there are still multiple thousands of people dying every day from covid and even though they are

01:59:42.500 not barely testing anybody in the country and all of that is going on to our south we also are going

01:59:51.080 to start allowing flights and all these other things you know you wonder what herd immunity means

01:59:56.260 in a global scenario like this it's going to be an issue for a while so i don't think chasing

02:00:01.360 herd immunity makes all that much sense you should say what you should do is say here's the evidence

02:00:07.560 of the vaccine if you think it's good you should take it if you don't think it's good you shouldn't

02:00:14.140 take it and then people can move on with their lives and assume the risk associated with you want to

02:00:20.680 take it take it and if you don't don't yeah what are you talking about liberty freedom there

02:00:26.180 does seem like i mean that's ridiculous yeah you know it's crazy by the way uh yes we're not at

02:00:34.380 herd immunity that's true we're not going to be at herd immunity probably maybe ever i don't know we'll

02:00:38.940 see but our cases are down 95 percent wow our deaths are down 93 percent we're not going to get

02:00:49.580 everyone vaccinated there's no reason to believe it could ever be possible nor should we try it yeah i mean

02:00:56.020 nor should we sit here and say and try to mandate vaccines for everybody so that everybody gets

02:01:01.120 them there's no reason to do that we're in the we're down in the mid 90s here we've we've crushed

02:01:07.800 this virus to the point uh that it is now sort of just another thing it's another it is it right now

02:01:16.560 at like levels of the flu right i mean it's a it would be a really bad flu year right now but you know

02:01:22.400 we get it down to 100 150 deaths per day i don't want people to die i don't i want it to be zero

02:01:27.660 yeah but like that's the sort of a risk that the american people i think are generally speaking

02:01:33.460 comfortable with yeah um so the over again about 90 percent of people over 65 are already vaccinated

02:01:39.860 those are the people who are most vulnerable that's why the deaths are down 93 that's a lot

02:01:43.640 a lot it's a good percentage 888-727-BECK 888-727-BECK this is the glennbeck program

02:01:54.740 it's time to stop saying inflation is on the way

02:02:12.460 you know and i know it's already here what's on the way according to bank of america is transitory

02:02:19.120 hyperinflation great have you noticed how your groceries are going up that's not the price of

02:02:25.200 things going up that is the value of your dollar too many dollars chasing too few goods we're not

02:02:31.920 making the goods and we've pounded dollars out so gold i highly recommend gold and silver because

02:02:41.040 in the end the world always comes back everything that glitters is not gold according to rudyard

02:02:48.100 kipling's famous poem uh there is a real reason to have physical gold call them right now talk to

02:02:58.720 them about the six percent free precious metals promotion for self-directed ira acquisitions

02:03:03.700 at 866-GOLD-LINE 866-GOLD-LINE

02:03:07.820 it's pat and stew for glenn on the glennbeck program uh glenn returns in a little over a week

02:03:21.400 888-727-BECK we were just going over the numbers of the covid situation they're really astounding

02:03:27.360 right now i didn't even realize the peak uh infection rate that we hit back in january

02:03:34.980 i i thought the peak infection rate was about 70 000 you know 75 000 somewhere in there yeah

02:03:43.040 the actual number was 251 084 per day over a week and the reason why you don't remember it

02:03:54.580 likely was that occurred on january 8th 2021 and they were focusing on the worst worst insurrection

02:04:01.640 in american world history more world history that's really the worst insurrection attempt

02:04:08.240 ever attempted in global history over one person was killed well not over one but one person was

02:04:15.140 killed who happened to be part of the insurrection right so the death rate is what uh now we're down

02:04:19.980 we went from 251 000 on average per day now we're down at 12 000 wow per day so we're down 95 on that

02:04:27.280 93 on deaths i mean people who don't who think people are still getting banned for saying the pandemic

02:04:32.460 is over yeah and look we're just in a totally different area of this and i think with people

02:04:37.800 having the access it is over yep we will see you again on tuesday have a great independence day

02:04:44.100 weekend this is the glenn back program
